   PART I
 ITEM
1. BUSINESS
 Overview and Industry Background
 
 Our
Business
  Since
1993, BroadVision has been a pioneer and consistent innovator of e-business
solutions. We deliver a combination of technologies and services into the global
market that enable customers of all sizes to power mission-critical web
initiatives that ultimately deliver high-value to their bottom line. Our
offering consists of a robust framework for personalization and self-service,
modular applications and agile toolsets that customers use to create e-commerce
and portal solutions. As of December 31, 2008, we had licensed our products to
more than 1,800 companies - including Audible.com, Baker Hughes, BioRad
Laboratories, BNP Paribas, Canon, EFG Bank, Epson America, Fiat, Hilti, Indian
Railway Catering and Tourism Company, ING Bank, LaPoste, Mettler Toledo, Oreck
Corporation, PETCO, Prime Polymer, Standard Bank of Argentina, U.S. Air Force,
Vodafone, W.W. Grainger and Xerox.
 
 Corporate
Information
  We were
incorporated in Delaware in 1993 and have been a publicly traded corporation
since 1996. From 2001 to date, our annual revenue has declined and as of
December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$1.2 billion. The majority of our accumulated deficit to date has resulted
from non-cash charges associated with our 2000 acquisition of Interleaf, Inc.
and restructuring charges related to excess real estate lease
obligations.
  In
February 2006, we announced a subscription rights offering to existing
stockholders. The primary purpose of the rights offering was to allow the
holders of BroadVision common stock an opportunity to further invest in
BroadVision in order to maintain their proportionate interest in BroadVision
common stock, at the same price per share as the price afforded to our Chief
Executive Officer, founder and largest stockholder, Dr. Pehong Chen, in
connection with a transaction in which we issued shares to Dr. Chen in exchange
for the cancellation of notes he held.  The rights offering expired on
November 28, 2006. Eligible participants exercised rights to purchase 1.5
million shares, resulting in $15.8 million in net proceeds for us. Then we
reduced our total number of authorized shares of common stock from 80,000,000 to
11,200,000 in February 2007. We deregistered the shares not sold in the rights
offering and subject to the registration statement we filed in connection with
the rights offering.
 
 In order
to complete the issuance of shares to Dr. Chen without violating applicable
listing NASDAQ standards, we delivered to NASDAQ a notification of voluntary
delisting of BroadVision common stock from the NASDAQ National Market effective
prior to the opening of trading on March 8, 2006.  Effective as of the
opening of trading on October 27, 2008, we effected a one-for-twenty-five
reverse split of our common stock.  As of November 10, 2008, we
transferred the quotation of our common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board to the
NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol "BVSN".
 
 The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information
contained herein for all periods presented have been retroactively restated to
give effect to the stock split in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
 
 In the
year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of
$25.1 million, which represents a full write-off of our remaining goodwill
balance in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets("SFAS 142"). As of December 31, 2008, we performed Step 1
under the provisions of SFAS 142 by determining that we have a single
reporting unit and then comparing our net book value to our market
capitalization based upon the quoted market price of our stock. Based upon the
results of Step 1, which showed impairment indicators of our goodwill balance,
we completed Step 2 and recognized an impairment charge of $25.1 million in
the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
 
 As of
December 31, 2007, we completed our 24-month turnaround plan that began in
January 2006. Under this plan we implemented cost-cutting
measures,  generated positive operating profits and significantly
increased our unrestricted cash balance.
 
 Our principal executive
offices are located at 1600 Seaport Boulevard, Suite 550, North Building,
Redwood City, CA 94063. Our telephone number is  (650) 331-1000. Our
website address is www.broadvision.com. We make available free of charge through

 Industry
Background
  e-business
has become an integral part of work life and organizations are looking for ways
to reduce costs, improve productivity and increase revenues by moving their
business online. More and more households and organizations worldwide have
adopted a web paradigm and expect websites to be easy to use and available for
their convenience. By providing a way for enterprises to quickly assemble and
deploy web-based solutions that tap into their resources, organizations can
dramatically reduce the cost and improve the quality of interactions between
employees, customers and business partners. A significant number of industry
analysts have highlighted the ways in which organizations can reduce costs and
improve customer satisfaction by implementing a self-service model, including
online shopping and call center operations. In addition to accelerating the
response time for the consumer, e-business applications also enable
organizations to collect valuable market research data about their
customers.

 Technology
  Open
Standards-Based Architecture
  BroadVision
e-business solutions are built on object-oriented application code written in
J2EE programming environments, which allows developers and system integrators to
use, integrate, modify, adapt or extend the applications with minimal impact on
other areas to create a rapidly customized product that meets specific business
requirements. BroadVision Process leverages a proven open source stack at the
platform layers to reduce total cost of ownership and optimize
performance.
  Support
for the J2EE standards for object-oriented computing enables high-volume
performance, flexible application deployment and easy integration with
third-party or legacy applications. Our applications fully support XML, which is
the emerging standard for managing and exchanging data between e-business
systems as well as for re-purposing and sending information to wireless
devices.
  In
addition, we use other widely accepted standards in developing our products,
including Web Services, Structured Query Language (SQL) for accessing relational
database management systems; Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for web access; Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for secure
transmissions over networks; and the RC2 and MD5 encryption algorithms supplied
by RSA Security.
  Our
applications can be operated in conjunction with relational database management
systems provided by IBM Corporation, Informix, Microsoft, Oracle and Sybase.
Supported application servers include WebLogic, WebSphere, SunOne and
JBoss.
 Support for Open
Source
  BroadVision
Process and BroadVision Portal give organizations the option of running on a
commercially available technology stack described above or on an open source
stack. While our commitment to commercial platforms has not changed, we
recognize that our customers are adopting Open Source as a platform because of
its total cost of ownership and runtime benefits.

  Customers
  As
of December 31, 2008, we had licensed our products to over 1,800 companies.
During each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, no
customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. At December 31,
2008, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable
balance.  At December 31, 2007, one customer accounted for 20% our
accounts receivable balance. We do not believe that the loss of any single
customer would have a material adverse effect on our business or results of
operations.
  Our
software is deployed in all major industry groups, including financial services,
government, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and telecommunications. Customers
include Audible.com, Baker Hughes, BioRad Laboratories, BNP Paribas, Canon, EFG
Bank, Epson America, Fiat, Hilti, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Company,
ING Bank, LaPoste, Mettler Toledo, Oreck Corporation, PETCO, Prime Polymer,
Standard Bank of Argentina, U.S. Air Force, Vodafone, W.W. Grainger and
Xerox.
 
 Sales and
Marketing
  We
market our products primarily through a direct sales organization with
operations in North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. On December 31, 2008,
our direct sales organization included 30 sales representatives, managers and
sales support personnel.
  We
have sales offices located throughout the world to support the sales and
marketing of our products. In support of the Americas organizations, offices
located in the United States are in California and Massachusetts.
  Offices
for our Europe region are located in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the
United Kingdom.
  Our
sales and marketing offices in the Asia Pacific/Japan/India/Middle East region
are located in India, China, and Japan. We derive a significant portion of our
revenue from our operations outside North America. In the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008, approximately 53% of our revenues were derived from
international sales. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, approximately
37% of our revenue was derived from international sales. If we are unable to
manage or grow our existing international operations, we may not generate
sufficient revenue required to establish and maintain these operations, which
could slow our overall growth and impair our operating margins.
  Initial
sales activities typically involve discussion and review of the potential
business value associated with the implementation of a BroadVision solution, a
demonstration of our e-business applications capabilities at the prospect's
site, followed by one or more detailed technical reviews. The sales process
usually involves collaboration with the prospective customer in order to specify
the scope of the solution. Our Worldwide e-business Services Organization helps
customers to design, develop and deploy their e-business solutions.
  As
of December 31, 2008, eight employees were engaged in a variety of
marketing activities, including product planning, marketing material
development, public relations, identifying potential customers, establishing and
maintaining close relationships with recognized industry analysts and
maintaining our website.

 Alliances
  We
recognize that today's organizations require an open, partner-based approach to
e-business. Accordingly, we have assembled a global team of best-of-breed
partners with the skills, services and value-added products necessary to
develop, market, sell and deliver the most competitive e-business solutions
available.
 
 Consulting
Partners
 
 Our systems integration and consulting services
partners deliver strategic business solutions to our global customers. These
partners offer deployment experience, strong vertical market expertise, and
process-based solutions. Our contractual agreements with these consulting
partners motivate them to build a development expertise in our technology and
sell our products and services to potential customers, thus enabling us to
extend the reach of our products and services. Revenue generated from consulting
partners in recent years has not been significant.
 
 Technology/OEM
Partners
 
 Our
technology partners include Value-Added Resellers (VAR) and Independent Software
Vendors (ISV) who build and deploy BroadVision-based vertical and horizontal
software solutions. Our goal is to create value-added solutions that address a
customer's specific business and IT goals. In addition, technology partners
include distributors who are authorized representatives that market, distribute,
resell and support our products and services or application service providers
who develop, host and support value-added application solutions based on our
technology. The contracts that govern our relationships with these partners are
generally terminable by either party upon 30 to 90 days notice. In most
cases, technology/OEM partners license our products to users under the terms of
a reseller or distribution agreement. Revenue generated from technology/OEM
partners in recent years has not been significant.
 Competition
  If we
fail to compete successfully with current or future competitors, we may lose
market share. The market for e-business is intensely competitive. Our customers'
requirements and the technology available to satisfy those requirements will
continually change. We expect competition in this market to persist. Our primary
competition currently includes:
  l
                  in-house
      development efforts by prospective customers or
  partners;
 
 l
                  other
      vendors of application software or application development platforms and
      tools directed at interactive commerce and portal applications, such
      as Art Technology Group, ElasticPath, EscalateRetail, IBM Corporation,
      Microsoft, Oracle and
SAP.
  l
                    other
      vendors of workforce and human resource information systems, such as ADP’s
      Emplease, iEmployee, SuccessFactors, Taleo and
      Workday.
 l
                  web
      content developers that develop custom software or integrate other
      application software into custom
solutions.
  The
principal competitive factors affecting the market for our products
are:
  l
                  depth
      and breadth of functionality
offered;
 
 l
                  availability
      of knowledgeable developers;
 
 l
                  time
      required for application
deployment;
 
 l
                  reliance
      on industry standards;
 
 l
                  product
      reliability;
 
 l
                  proven
      track record;
 
 l
                  scalability;
 
 l
                  maintainability;
 
 l
                  product
      quality;
 
 l
                  price; and
 
 l
                  technical
      support.
  Compared
to us, many of these competitors and other current and future competitors have
longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical,
sales, marketing and other resources. As a result, they may be able to respond
more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer
requirements. Many of these companies can use their greater name recognition and
more extensive customer base to gain market share. Competitors may be able to
undertake more extensive promotional activities, adopt more aggressive pricing
policies and offer more attractive terms to purchasers. Current and potential
competitors may bundle their products to discourage users from purchasing our
products. In addition, competitors have established or may establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their products.
Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors
may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Competitive pressures
may make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers.

 Intellectual
Property andOther Proprietary Rights
  Our
success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our
proprietary technology. We hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998 and
expiring in August 2015, on elements of the BroadVision One-To-One Enterprise
product, which covers e-commerce operations common in today's web business. We
also hold a U.S. patent, issued in November 1996 and expiring in February
2014, acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition, on the elements of the
extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of
active documents. The patent on active documents (associating procedures to
elements of an electronic document) is fundamental and hard to avoid by some
modern document processing systems. Although we hold these patents, they may not
provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition,
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property
rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or
invalidity. We cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be
asserted or prosecuted against us in the future, whether resulting from our
intellectual property or licenses from third parties. Claims or litigation,
whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and
diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.
  We also
rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual
restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We have
registered "BroadVision", "BroadVision One-To-One", "iGuide", "Interleaf" and
"Interleaf Xtreme" as trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It
is possible that our competitors or other companies will adopt product names
similar to these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and
possibly confusing customers.
  As a
matter of our company policy, we enter into confidentiality and assignment
agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access
to and distribution of our software, documents and other proprietary
information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for an
unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or
other proprietary information or to develop similar software independently.
Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult, particularly
because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the
ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data. The
laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our
intellectual property.
  Employees
  As of
December 31, 2008, we employed a total of 219 full-time employees, of
whom 98 are based in North America, 32 in Europe and 89 in Asia. Of these
full-time employees, 38 are in sales and marketing, 90 are in product
development, 56 are in global services and client support, and 35 are in
operations, administration and finance.
  We
believe that our future success depends on attracting and retaining highly
skilled personnel. We may be unable to attract and retain high-caliber
employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit.
We have never experienced a work stoppage and consider our employee relations to
be good.

 ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS
 
 The
risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. In that event, the
trading price of our common stock could decline.
 
 Our business
currently depends on revenue related to BroadVision e-business solutions, and if
the market does not increasingly accept these products and related products and
services, our revenue may continue to decline.
  We
generate our revenue from licenses of BroadVision e-business solutions,
including process, commerce, portal and content management and related products
and services. We expect that these products, and future upgraded versions, will
continue to account for a large portion of our revenue in the foreseeable
future. Our future financial performance will depend on increasing acceptance of
our current products and on the successful development, introduction and
customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products. If new and
future versions and updates of our products and services do not gain market
acceptance when released commercially, or if we fail to deliver the product
enhancements and complementary third party products that customers want, demand
for our products and services, and our revenue, may decline.
 
 We
have recently introduced new products, services and technologies and our
business will be harmed if we are not successful in selling these offerings to
our existing customers and new customers.
 
 In
early 2007, we introduced a product roadmap that included new products, services
and technologies, to complement and replace certain of our existing products,
services and technologies.  We formally released BroadVision 8.1TM at the
end of the third quarter of 2007. We have spent significant resources in
developing these offerings and training our employees to implement and support
the offerings, and we plan to add additional sales and marketing resources to
support these new products, services and technologies.  We do not yet know
whether any of these new offerings will appeal to existing and potential new
customers, and if so, whether sales of these new offerings will be sufficient
for us to offset the costs of development, implementation, support and
marketing. Particularly in difficult economic times when companies are more
likely to be managing spending, potential new customers may delay spending
decisions and our existing customers may determine that the BroadVision products
and services they currently use are sufficient for their purposes, or that the
added benefit from these new offerings is not sufficient to merit the additional
cost.  As a result we may need to decrease our prices or develop
modifications.  Although we have performed extensive testing of our new
products and technologies, their broad-based implementation may require more
support than we anticipate, which would further increase our expenses. If sales
of our new products, services and technologies are lower than we expect, or if
we must lower our prices or delay implementation to fix unforeseen problems and
develop modifications, our operating margins are likely to decrease and we may
not be able to operate profitably.  A failure to operate profitably would
significantly harm our business.
 
 Current and
potential competitors could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain
customers now and in the future.
 
 The
market for our products is intensely competitive. We expect competition in this
market to persist and increase in the future. If we fail to compete successfully
with current or future competitors, we may be unable to attract and retain
customers. Increased competition could also result in price reductions for our
products and lower profit margins and reduced market share, any of which could
harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  Many
of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing
and other resources, greater name recognition, a broader range of products and a
larger installed customer base, any of which could provide them with a
significant competitive advantage. In addition, new competitors, or alliances
among existing and future competitors, may emerge and rapidly gain significant
market share. Some of our competitors, particularly established software
vendors, may also be able to provide customers with products and services
comparable to ours at lower or at aggressively reduced prices in an effort to
increase market share or as part of a broader software package they are selling
to a customer. We may be unable to match competitor's prices or price
reductions, and we may fail to win customers that choose to purchase an
information technology solution as part of a broader software and services
package. As a result, we may be unable to compete successfully with current or
new competitors.

 If
we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in online
commerce and communication, our products and services may fail to be
competitive.
 
 Our
products and services may fail to be competitive if we do not maintain or exceed
the pace of technological developments in Internet commerce and communication.
Failure to be competitive could cause our revenue to decline. The information
services, software and communications industries are characterized by rapid
technological change, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product and
service introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards and
practices. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies
and the emergence of new industry standards and practices can render existing
products and services obsolete. Our future success will depend, in part, on our
ability to:
  •
                    develop
      leading technologies;•
                    enhance
      our existing products and services;•
                    develop
      new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated and
      varied needs of our prospective customers; and•
                    respond
      to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on
      a timely and cost-effective basis.
  We have a history
of losses and our future profitability on a quarterly or annual basis is
uncertain, which could have a harmful effect on our business and the value of
BroadVision common stock.
  Our
quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate
significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which
are outside of our control.   As of December 31, 2008, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $1.2 billion.
  Given
our planned operating and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future we
expect our results of operations to fluctuate, and during this period we may
incur losses and/or negative cash flows. If our revenue does not increase or if
we fail to maintain our expenses at an amount less than our projected revenue,
we will not be able to achieve or sustain operating profitability on a
consistent basis. We are continuing our efforts to reduce and control our
expense structure. We believe strict cost containment and expense reductions are
essential to achieving positive cash flow and profitability. A number of factors
could preclude us from successfully bringing costs and expenses in line with our
revenues, including unplanned uses of cash, the inability to accurately forecast
business activities and further deterioration of our revenues. If we are not
able to effectively reduce our costs and achieve an expense structure
commensurate with our business activities and revenues, we may have inadequate
levels of cash for operations or for capital requirements, which could
significantly harm our ability to operate our business.
  Our
failure to operate profitably or control negative cash flows on a quarterly or
annual basis could harm our business and the value of BroadVision common stock.
If the negative cash flow continues, our liquidity and ability to operate our
business would be severely and adversely impacted. Additionally, our ability to
raise financial capital may be hindered due to our operational losses and
negative cash flows, reducing our operating flexibility.
 
 Our
sales and product implementation cycles are lengthy and subject to delay, which
make it difficult to predict our quarterly results.
  Our
sales and product implementation cycles generally span months. Delays in
customer orders or product implementations, which are difficult to predict, can
affect the timing of revenue recognition and adversely affect our quarterly
operating results. Licensing our products is often an enterprise-wide decision
by prospective customers. The importance of this decision requires that we
engage in a lengthy sales cycle with prospective customers. A successful sales
cycle may last up to nine months or longer. Our sales cycle is also affected by
a number of other factors, some of which we have little or no control over,
including the volatility of the overall software market, the business condition
and purchasing cycle of each prospective customer, and the performance of our
technology partners, systems integrators and resellers. The implementation of
our products can also be time and resource intensive, and subject to unexpected
delays. Delays in either product sales or implementations could cause our
operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

 Table of

 Because a
significant portion of our sales activity occurs at the end of each fiscal
quarter, delays in a relatively small number of license transactions could
adversely affect our quarterly operating results.
  A
significant proportion of our sales are concentrated in the last month of each
fiscal quarter. Gross margins are high for our license transactions. Customers
and prospective customers may use these conditions in an attempt to obtain more
favorable terms. While we endeavor to avoid making concessions that could result
in lower margins, the negotiations often result in delays in closing license
transactions. Small delays in a relatively small number of license transactions
could have a significant impact on our reported operating results for that
quarter.
  Because our
quarterly operating results are volatile and difficult to predict, our quarterly
operating results in one or future periods are likely to fluctuate
significantly, which could cause our stock price to decline if we fail to meet
the expectations of securities analysts or investors.
  Historically
our quarterly operating results have varied significantly from quarter to
quarter and are likely to continue to vary significantly in the future. If our
revenues, operating results, earnings or future projections are below the levels
expected by securities analysts or investors, our stock price is likely to
decline.
  We
may continue to experience significant fluctuations in our future results of
operations due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our
control, including:
  •
                    introduction
      of products and services and enhancements by us and our
      competitors;•
                    competitive
      factors that affect our pricing;•
                    market
      acceptance of new products;•
                    the
      mix of products sold by us;•
                    changes
      in our pricing policies or our competitors;•
                    changes
      in our sales incentive plans;•
                    the
      budgeting cycles of our customers;•
                    customer
      order deferrals in anticipation of new products or enhancements by our
      competitors or us or because of macro-economic
  conditions;•
                    nonrenewal
      of our maintenance agreements, which generally automatically renew for
      one-year terms unless earlier terminated by either party upon 90-days
      notice;•
                    product
      life cycles;•
                    changes
      in strategy;•
                    seasonal
      trends;•
                    the
      mix of distribution channels through which our products are
      sold;•
                    the
      mix of international and domestic sales;•
                    the
      rate at which new sales people become productive;•
                    changes
      in the level of operating expenses to support projected
      growth;•
                    increase
      in the amount of third party products and services that we use in our
      products or resell with royalties attached;•
                    fluctuations
      in the recorded value of outstanding common stock warrants that will be
      based upon changes to the underlying market value of BroadVision common
      stock;•
                    the
      timing of receipt and fulfillment of significant orders;
    and•
                    costs
      associated with litigation, regulatory compliance and other corporate
      events such as operational
reorganizations.
  As
a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our
revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that these
comparisons are not accurate indicators of future performance. Because our
staffing and operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, and
because a high percentage of our costs are fixed, small variations in the timing
of the recognition of specific revenue could cause significant variations in
operating results from quarter to quarter. If we were unable to adjust spending
in a timely manner to compensate for any revenue shortfall, any significant
revenue shortfall would likely have an immediate negative effect on our
operating results. If our operating results in one or more future quarters fail
to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, we would expect to
experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our
stock.
  We have
substantially modified our business and operations and will need to manage and
support these changes effectively in order for our business plan to
succeed.
  We
have substantially expanded and subsequently contracted our business and
operations since our inception in 1993. We grew from 652 employees at the end of
1999 to 2,412 employees at the end of 2000 and then reduced our numbers to 159
at the end of 2006, and 195 at the end of 2007. On December 31, 2008, we had 219
employees. As a consequence of our employee base growing and then contracting so
rapidly, we entered into significant contracts for facilities space for which we
ultimately determined we did not have a future use. We announced during the
third and fourth quarters of 2004 that we had agreed with the landlords of
various facilities to renegotiate future lease commitments, extinguishing a
total of approximately $155 million of future obligations. The management
of the expansion and later reduction of our operations has taken a considerable
amount of our management's attention during the past several years. As we manage
our business to introduce and support new products, we will need to continue to
monitor our workforce and make appropriate changes as necessary. If we are
unable to support past changes and implement future changes effectively, we may
have to divert additional resources away from executing our business plan and
toward internal administration. If our expenses significantly outpace our
revenues, we may have to make additional changes to our management systems and
our business plan may not succeed.

 We may face
liquidity challenges and need additional financing in the
future.
  We
currently expect to be able to fund our working capital requirements from our
existing cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from
operations and subleases through at least December 31, 2009. However, we could
experience unforeseen circumstances, such as an economic downturn, difficulties
in retaining customers and/or key employees, or other factors that could
increase our use of available cash and require us to seek additional financing.
We may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing due to
the factors listed above or in order to support a more rapid expansion, develop
new or enhanced products or services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire
complementary businesses or technologies or respond to unanticipated
requirements.
  We
may seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of
securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing
arrangements or otherwise. If additional funds are raised through the issuance
of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be
reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or any equity
securities we sell may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of
the holders of our common stock. We expect that obtaining additional financing
on acceptable terms would be difficult, at best. If adequate funds are not
available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to pay our
debts as they become due, develop our products, take advantage of future
opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and future operating results.
 
 If
we are unable to maintain our disclosure controls and procedures, including our
internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report our financial
results on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected.
  We
have evaluated our "disclosure controls and procedures" as such term is defined
in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as our
internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our independent registered public accounting firm
has performed a similar evaluation of our internal control over financial
reporting. Effective controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial
reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial
reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed.
  We
previously reported that as of March 31, 2006, we did not have a sufficient
number of experienced personnel in our accounting and finance organization to
facilitate an efficient financial statement close process and permit the
preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For
example, there were a significant number of adjustments to our financial
statements during the course of the 2005 audit, at least one of which was
individually material and required us to restate several prior quarters. Our
personnel also lacked certain required skills and competencies to oversee the
accounting operations and perform certain important control functions, such as
the review, periodic inspection and investigation of transactions of our foreign
locations. We consider this to be a deficiency that was also a material weakness
in the operation of entity-level controls. Despite taking a variety of remedial
measures, we were unable to conclude that no material weakness existed as of
December 31, 2006. Accordingly, when our management assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006,
this assessment identified one material weakness.
  While
we have remedied this material weakness as of December 31, 2007, maintaining
sufficient expertise and historical institutional knowledge in our accounting
and finance organization is dependent upon retaining existing employees and
filling any open positions with experienced personnel in a timely fashion. The
market for skilled accounting and finance personnel is competitive and we may
have continued difficulty in retaining our staff because (1) the region in which
we compete consists of many established companies that can offer more
lucrative compensation packages and (2) some professionals are reluctant to
deal with the complex accounting issues relating to our historical operations.
Our inability to staff the department with competent personnel with sufficient
training will affect our internal controls over financial reporting to the
extent that we may not be able to prevent or detect material
misstatements.
  We are dependent
on direct sales personnel and third-party distribution channels to achieve
revenue growth.
  To
date, we have sold our products primarily through our direct sales force. Our
ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future largely will depend
on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient direct sales
personnel and establishing and maintaining relationships with distributors,
resellers and systems integrators. Our products and services require a
sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective
customers. New hires as well as employees of our distributors, resellers and
systems integrators require training and may take a significant amount of time
before achieving full productivity. Our recent hires may not become as
productive as necessary, and we may be unable to hire and retain sufficient
numbers of qualified individuals in the future. We have entered into strategic
alliance agreements with partners, under which partners have agreed to resell
and support our current BroadVision product suite. These contracts are generally
terminable by either party upon 30 days' notice of an uncured material
breach or for convenience upon 90 days' notice prior to the end of any
annual term. Termination of any of these alliances could harm our expected
revenues. We may be unable to expand our other distribution channels, and any
expansion may not result in revenue increases. If we fail to maintain and expand
our direct sales force or other distribution channels, our revenues may not grow
or they may decline. Revenue generated from third-party distributors in recent
years has not been significant.

 Failure to
maintain relationships with third-party systems integrators could harm our
ability to achieve our business plan.
  Our
relationships with third-party systems integrators who deploy our products have
been a key factor in our overall business strategy, particularly because many of
our current and prospective customers rely on integrators to develop, deploy and
manage their online marketplaces. Our efforts to manage our relationships with
systems integrators may not succeed, which could harm our ability to achieve our
business plan due to a variety of factors, including:
 
 •
                    Systems
      integrators may not view their relationships with us as valuable to their
      own businesses. The related arrangements typically may be terminated by
      either party with limited notice and in some cases are not covered by a
      formal agreement.•
                    Under
      our business model, we often rely on our system integrators' employees to
      perform implementations. If we fail to work together effectively, or if
      these parties perform poorly, our reputation may be harmed and deployment
      of our products may be delayed or inadequate.•
                    Systems
      integrators may attempt to market their own products and services rather
      than ours.•
                    Our
      competitors may have stronger relationships with our systems integrators
      than us and, as a result, these integrators may recommend a competitor's
      products and services over ours.•
                    If
      we lose our relationships with our systems integrators, we will not have
      the personnel necessary to deploy our products effectively, and we will
      need to commit significant additional sales and marketing resources in an
      effort to reach the markets and customers served by these
      parties.
  We may be unable
to manage or grow our international operations and assets, which could impair
our overall growth or financial position.
  We
derive a significant portion of our revenue from our operations outside North
America. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, approximately 53% of our
revenue was derived from international sales. If we are unable to manage or grow
our existing international operations, we may not generate sufficient revenue
required to establish and maintain these operations, which could slow our
overall growth and impair our operating margins.
  As
we rely materially on our operations outside of North America, we are subject to
significant risks of doing business internationally, including:
 
 •
                    difficulties
      in staffing and managing foreign operations and safeguarding foreign
      assets;•
                    unexpected
      changes in regulatory requirements;•
                    export
      controls relating to encryption technology and other export
      restrictions;•
                    tariffs
      and other trade barriers;•
                    difficulties
      in staffing and managing foreign operations;•
                    political
      and economic instability;•
                    fluctuations
      in currency exchange rates;•
                    reduced
      protection for intellectual property rights in some
    countries;•
                    cultural
      barriers;•
                    seasonal
      reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and
      certain other parts of the world; and•
                    potentially
      adverse tax consequences.
  Management of international operations presents special challenges, particularly
at our reduced staffing levels.  For example, during 2008 we uncovered
through our whistle blower program that an officer of our Japan subsidiary was
involved in a scheme to submit fraudulent expense reimbursements totaling
approximately $84,000 during the period between 2007 and 2008.  We were
able to recover the funds from the officer and the officer was terminated. 
Although this scheme was detected, we face the risk that other similar
misappropriations of assets may occur in the future.
  Our international sales growth could be limited if we are unable to establish
additional foreign operations, expand international sales channel management and
support, hire additional personnel, customize products for local markets and
develop relationships with international service providers, distributors and
system integrators. Even if we are able to successfully expand our international
operations, we may not succeed in maintaining or expanding international market
demand for our products.

  Our success and
competitive position will depend on our ability to protect our proprietary
technology.
  Our
success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our
proprietary technology. We hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998, on
elements of the BroadVision platform, which covers electronic commerce
operations common in today's web business. We also hold a U.S. patent,
issued in November 1996, acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the
elements of the extensible electronic document processing system for creating
new classes of active documents. Although we hold these patents, they may not
provide an adequate level of intellectual property protection. In addition,
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property
rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of
the proprietary rights of others. It is also possible that third parties may
claim we have infringed their patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary
rights. Claims may be made for indemnification resulting from allegations of
infringement. Intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted against
us as a result of the use by third parties of our products. Claims or
litigation, with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and
diversions of resources, either of which could harm our business.
  We
also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and
contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and
services. We have registered "BroadVision", "iGuide", "Interleaf" and "Interleaf
Xtreme" as trademarks in the United States and in other countries. It is
possible that our competitors or other companies will adopt product names
similar to these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and
possibly confusing customers.
  As
a matter of our company policy, we enter into confidentiality and assignment
agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access
to and distribution of our software, documents and other proprietary
information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible for an
unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or
other proprietary information or to develop similar software independently.
Policing unauthorized use of our products will be difficult, particularly
because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the
ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data. The
laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our
intellectual property.
  A breach of the
encryption technology that we use could expose us to liability and harm our
reputation, causing a loss of customers.
  If
any breach of the security technology embedded in our products were to occur, we
would be exposed to liability and our reputation could be harmed, which could
cause us to lose customers. A significant barrier to online commerce and
communication is the secure exchange of valuable and confidential information
over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology,
including Open SSL and public key cryptography technology featuring the major
encryption algorithms RC2 and MD5, to provide the security and authentication
necessary to affect the secure exchange of confidential information. Advances in
computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other
events or developments could cause a breach of the RSA or other algorithms that
we use to protect customer transaction data.
  The loss or
malfunction of technology licensed from third parties could delay the
introduction of our products and services.
  We
rely in part on technology that we license from third parties, including
relational database management systems from Oracle and Sybase, Informix object
request broker software from IONA Technologies PLC, and database access
technology from Rogue Wave Software. The loss or malfunction of any of these
technology licenses could harm our business. We integrate or sublicense this
technology with internally developed software to perform key functions. For
example, our products and services incorporate data encryption and
authentication technology licensed from Open SSL. Third-party technology
licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable
terms, or at all. Moreover, the licensed technology may contain defects that we
cannot control. Problems with our technology licenses could cause delays in
introducing our products or services until equivalent technology, if available,
is identified, licensed and integrated. Delays in introducing our products and
services could adversely affect our results of operations.

 Our officers, key
employees and highly skilled technical and managerial personnel are critical to
our business, and they may not remain with us in the
future.
  Our
performance substantially depends on the performance of our officers and key
employees. We also rely on our ability to retain and motivate qualified
personnel, especially our management and highly skilled development teams. The
loss of the services of any of our officers or key employees, particularly our
founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Pehong Chen, could cause us to
incur increased operating expenses and divert senior management resources in
searching for replacements. The loss of their services also could harm our
reputation if our customers were to become concerned about our future
operations. We do not carry "key person" life insurance policies on any of our
employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to
identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in the
Internet industry. We have in the past experienced, and may continue to
experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining sufficient numbers of highly
skilled employees. The significant downturn in our business over the past
several years has had and may continue to have a negative impact on our
operations. We have restructured our operations by reducing our workforce and
implementing other cost containment activities. These actions could lead to
disruptions in our business, reduced employee morale and productivity, increased
attrition, and problems with retaining existing and recruiting future
employees.
 
 Limitations on
the online collection of profile information could impair the effectiveness of
our products.
  Online
users' resistance to providing personal data, and laws and regulations
prohibiting use of personal data gathered online without express consent or
requiring businesses to notify their web site visitors of the possible
dissemination of their personal data, could limit the effectiveness of our
products. This in turn could adversely affect our sales and results of
operations.
  One
of the principal features of our products is the ability to develop and maintain
profiles of online users to assist business managers in determining the nature
of the content to be provided to these online users. Typically, profile
information is captured when consumers, business customers and employees visit a
web site and volunteer information in response to survey questions concerning
their backgrounds, interests and preferences. Profiles can be augmented over
time through the subsequent collection of usage data. Although our products are
designed to enable the development of applications that permit web site visitors
to prevent the distribution of any of their personal data beyond that specific
web site, privacy concerns may nevertheless cause visitors to resist providing
the personal data necessary to support this profiling capability. The mere
perception by prospective customers that substantial security and privacy
concerns exist among online users, whether or not valid, may indirectly inhibit
market acceptance of our products.
  In
addition, new laws and regulations could heighten privacy concerns by requiring
businesses to notify web site users that the data captured from them while
online may be used by marketing entities to direct product messages to them. We
are subject to increasing regulation at the federal and state levels relating to
online privacy and the use of personal user information. Several states have
proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user information
gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. In
addition, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has urged Congress to
adopt legislation regarding the collection and use of personal identifying
information obtained from individuals when accessing web sites. The FTC has
settled several proceedings resulting in consent decrees in which Internet
companies have been required to establish programs regarding the manner in which
personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. We
could become a party to a similar enforcement proceeding. These regulatory and
enforcement efforts could also harm our customers' ability to collect
demographic and personal information from users, which could impair the
effectiveness of our products.
 
 We may not have
adequate back-up systems, and natural or manmade disasters could damage our
operations, reduce our revenue and lead to a loss of
customers.
  We
do not have fully redundant systems for service at an alternate site. A disaster
could severely harm our business because our service could be interrupted for an
indeterminate length of time. Our operations depend upon our ability to maintain
and protect our computer systems at our facility in Redwood City, California,
which reside on or near known earthquake fault zones. Although these systems are
designed to be fault tolerant, they are vulnerable to damage from fire, floods,
earthquakes, power loss, acts of terrorism, telecommunications failures and
similar events. In addition, our facilities in California could be subject to
electrical blackouts if California faces another power shortage similar to that
of 2001. Although we do have a backup generator that would maintain critical
operations, this generator could fail. We also have significantly reduced our
workforce in a short period of time, which has placed different requirements on
our systems and has caused us to lose personnel knowledgeable about our systems,
both of which could make it more difficult to quickly resolve system
disruptions. Disruptions in our internal business operations could harm our
business by resulting in delays, disruption of our customers' business, loss of
data, and loss of customer confidence.

 Risks
related to BroadVision common stock
 
 One
stockholder beneficially owns a substantial portion of the outstanding
BroadVision common stock, and as a result exerts substantial control over
us.
 
 As
of December 31, 2008, Dr. Pehong Chen, our Chairman and CEO, beneficially owned
approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock, which represents
approximately 37% of the outstanding common stock as of such date. As a result,
Dr. Chen exerts substantial control over all matters coming to a vote of our
stockholders, including with respect to:
 
 •
                      the
      composition of our board of directors and, through it, any determination
      with respect to our business direction and policies, including the
      appointment and removal of officers;•
                      any
      determinations with respect to mergers and other business
      combinations;•
                      our
      acquisition or disposition of assets;•
                      our
      financing activities; and•
                      the
      payment of dividends on our capital
stock.
  This
control by Dr. Chen could depress the market price of our common stock or delay
or prevent a change in control of BroadVision.
  Our stock price
has been highly volatile.
  The
trading price of BroadVision common stock has been highly volatile. For example,
the trading price of BroadVision common stock has ranged from $9.00 per
share to $114.25 per share between January 1, 2007 and December 31,
2008. On December 31, 2008 the closing price of BroadVision common stock was
$11.10 per share. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to
a variety of factors, including:
  •
                        quarterly
      variations in operating results;•
                        announcements
      of technological innovations;•
                        announcements
      of new software or services by us or our competitors;•
                        changes
      in financial estimates by securities analysts;•
                        low
      trading volume on the NASDAQ Global Market;•
                        general
      economic conditions; or•
                        other
      events or factors that are beyond our
control.
  In
addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity
securities of many technology companies. These fluctuations have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies.
Any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of Internet or
electronic commerce companies could further depress our stock price regardless
of our results. Other broad market fluctuations may decrease the trading price
of BroadVision common stock. In the past, following declines in the market price
of a company's securities, securities class action litigation, such as the class
action lawsuits filed against us and certain of our officers and directors in
early 2001, has often been instituted against that company. Litigation could
result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and
resources.

 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
  As
of December 31, 2008, we leased approximately 67,240 square feet of office
space, of which approximately 78% was in the United States. We occupied or
subleased 100% of our leased office space as of December 31, 2008.
 
 In September 2006, we decided not to exercise a $4.5 million buy-out
option for a 50,000 square foot lease for 66 months from January 1, 2007 through
June 30, 2012 at Pacific Shores Center in Redwood City, California. Our
worldwide headquarters at Pacific Shores Center occupies approximately
27,000 square feet of office facilities used for research and development,
technical support, sales, marketing, consulting, training and administration. We
subleased the remaining approximately 22,500 square feet effective on
January 8, 2007.
  Our
additional leased domestic facilities include offices located in New York, NY
and Waltham, MA, which are primarily used for sales, marketing and customer
service activities. Leased facilities of significant size located outside of the
United States and used primarily for sales, marketing, customer support and
administrative functions include facilities located in Paris, France; Reading,
UK; Milan, Italy; Tokyo, Japan; Beijing, China; and Bangalore,

 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  You
should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
In addition to the historical consolidated information, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are
subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. These forward-looking
statements are generally identified by words such as "expect", "anticipate",
"intend", "believe", "hope", "assume", "estimate", "plan", "will" and other
similar words and expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of
certain factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to differences include
those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly in Item
1A, "Risk Factors." We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions
to the forward-looking statements or to reflect events and circumstances after
the date of this document.
  Overview
  Since 1993, BroadVision has been a pioneer and
consistent innovator of e-business solutions. We deliver a combination of
technologies and services into the global market that enable customers of all
sizes to power mission-critical web initiatives that ultimately deliver
high-value to their bottom line. Our offering consists of a robust framework for
personalization and self-service, modular applications and agile toolsets that
customers use to create e-commerce and portal solutions. As of December 31,
2007, we had licensed our products to more than 1,800 companies - including
Audible.com, Baker Hughes, BioRad Laboratories, BNP Paribas, Canon, EFG Bank,
Epson America, Fiat, Hilti, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Company, ING
Bank, LaPoste, Mettler Toledo, Oreck Corporation, PETCO, Prime Polymer, Standard
Bank of Argentina, U.S. Air Force, Vodafone, W.W. Grainger and
Xerox.
  Our
objective is to further our position as a global supplier of web-based,
self-service applications. This will require us to continue to build new
functionality into our applications that offer our customers a compelling value
proposition to license our products rather than design and build custom
solutions.
  We
generate revenue from fees for licenses of our software products, and related
maintenance, consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees
for licenses of our software products either based on the number of persons
registered to use the product or based on the number of CPUs utilized by the
machine on which the product is installed. Payment terms are generally 30 days
from the date the products are delivered, the maintenance contract is booked or
the consulting services are provided.
  From
2001 to 2005, we incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from
operations. In fiscal years 2004 and 2005, we incurred significant cash usage
related to the termination of excess real estate obligations, certain reductions
in workforce and the execution and subsequent termination of an acquisition
agreement. Although we generated net income in year 2006 and 2007 and net loss
in year 2008 due to goodwill impairment, our ability to generate profits or
positive cash flows in future periods remains uncertain.
  We
strive to anticipate changes in the demand for our services and aggressively
manage our labor force appropriately. As part of our budgeting process,
cross-functional management participates in the planning, reviewing and managing
of our business plans. This process is intended to allow us to adjust our cost
structures to changing market needs, competitive landscapes and economic
factors. Our emphasis on cost control helps us manage our margins even if
revenues generated fall short of our expectations.
 
 In
2009, our focus will be on delivering new products and technologies and
generating demand among existing and potential new customers.  We will
also continue to nurture the relationships with current customers.
  In
February 2006, we announced a subscription rights offering to existing
stockholders. The primary purpose of the rights offering was to allow the
holders of BroadVision common stock on the record date an opportunity to further
invest in BroadVision in order to maintain their proportionate interest in
BroadVision common stock, at the same price per share as the per share price
afforded to our Chief Executive Officer, founder and largest stockholder, Dr.
Pehong Chen, in connection with a transaction in which we issued shares to Dr.
Chen in exchange for the cancellation of notes he held. The rights offering
expired on November 28, 2006. Eligible participants exercised rights to purchase
1.5 million shares, resulting in $15.8 million in net proceeds. We deregistered
the shares not sold in the rights offering and subject to the registration
statement we filed in connection with the rights offering.  Then we
reduced our total number of authorized shares of common stock from 80,000,000 to
11,200,000 in February 2007. Dr. Chen's ownership was approximately 39% as a
result of closing the rights offering in the fourth quarter of 2006. As of
December 31, 2008, Dr. Chen's ownership was approximately 37%.
  In
order to complete the issuance of shares to Dr. Chen without violating NASDAQ
applicable listing standards, we delivered to NASDAQ a notification of voluntary
delisting of BroadVision common stock from the NASDAQ National Market effective
prior to the opening of trading on March 8, 2006. Effective as of the opening of
trading on October 27, 2008, we effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse split of
our common stock.  As of November 10, 2008, we transferred the
quotation of our common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board to the NASDAQ Global
Market under the trading symbol "BVSN".
  In
June 2006, William Meyer resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr.
Meyer had held since April 2003. Dr. Chen has served as Chief Financial Officer
on an interim basis until January 2008 when Dr. Shin-Yuan Tzouwas appointed to this
position.

  In
late 2007, we broadened our business model with the introduction of our first
product that is offered to customers through a licensing model known as software
as a service, or SaaS. SaaS, which has gained popularity in recent years, is a
different way of commercializing computer software than the enterprise license
model that we and most other software vendors have traditionally used. In the
SaaS model, instead of licensing software to customers for use on their
computers, the software is operated, or hosted, on the vendor's own computers,
and customers are allowed to access and utilize the software remotely in return
for the payment of one-time or recurring subscription fees.
 
 Our
first SaaS offering, called CHRM*060, is the centerpiece of our CHRM family of
workforce relationship management solutions that also includes three more
advanced modules. This family of applications, all of which are designed based
on our Kona * Kukini, or K2
technology, was developed by our development team in China, the members of which
have been employed by our China subsidiary, BroadVision OnDemand (Beijing) Ltd.,
or BV OnDemand, since its formation in 2007. The concept underlying the CHRM
product family originated as a new stand-alone company idea that was initiated
in China in 2005 by a group of engineers and business executives that included
Dr. Pehong Chen, our President, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder.
At the time the CHRM product idea was conceived, BroadVision, Inc. was actively
seeking to be acquired in a transaction that was publicly announced but
ultimately abandoned in late 2005. Shortly after the acquisition transaction was
abandoned, the CHRM development project, which was then at an early stage, was
absorbed into BroadVision, Inc.
 
 In
support of BV OnDemand's efforts to commercialize the CHRM product in China,
BroadVision, Inc. is appointing BV OnDemand as its exclusive licensee to operate
the K2
software for purposes of offering the CHRM products on a SaaS basis to customers
in China. BroadVision, Inc. is also appointing BV OnDemand as its exclusive
sales representative for purposes of licensing the K2
products on an enterprise license basis to customers in China. In return, BV
OnDemand is appointing BroadVision, Inc. as its exclusive licensee for the
purpose of offering the CHRM family of products on a SaaS basis to customers
everywhere in the world except China. BroadVision, Inc. and BV OnDemand are also
each providing various types of professional and business services to each
other. In view of the origins of the CHRM project outside our Company and in
order to ensure that we have full ownership of the product, we have advised Dr.
Pehong Chen and certain other individuals involved in the CHRM development
project that a limited liability company owned by them will be issued a 20%
interest in the BroadVision, Inc. subsidiary that indirectly owns BV OnDemand
and, accordingly, the CHRM product family.
  On
November 14, 2008, BroadVision (Delaware) LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("BVD"), which was then our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a
Share Purchase Agreement with CHRM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
and we and CHRM LLC then entered into an Amended and Restated Operating
Agreement of BroadVision (Delaware) LLC dated as of November 14, 2008 (the "BVD
Operating Agreement"). Under these agreements, CHRM LLC received, in exchange
for the assignment of certain intellectual property rights, 20 Class B Shares of
BVD, representing the right to receive 20% of any "net profit" from a "capital
transaction" (as such terms are defined in the BVD Operating Agreement) of
BroadVision (Barbados) Limited ("BVB"). A "capital transaction" under that
agreement is any merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of BVB as a
result of which the members of BVB will no longer have an interest in BVB or the
assets of BVB will be distributed to its members.
  The
CHRM family of applications was commercially launched by BV OnDemand in China in
November 2007 and by us in the United States in January 2008. Revenues related
to the CHRM product family were not material in 2007 and in 2008.
  Critical
Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
  This
management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In
preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to receivable
reserves, stock-based compensation, investments, impairment assessments, income
taxes and restructuring, as well as contingencies and litigation. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
using different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical
accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in
the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

  Revenue
Recognition
  Overview
  Our
revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance,
consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses
of our software products either based on the number of persons using the
product or based on the number of CPUs on which the product is installed.
Licenses for software for which fees are charged based upon the number of
persons using the product include licenses for development use and licenses for
use by registered users of the customer's website (deployment use). Licenses for
software for which fees are charged on a per-CPU basis differentiate between
development and deployment usage. Our revenue recognition policies comply with
the provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition("SOP 97-2"), as amended by SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With
Respect to Certain Transactions("SOP 98-9"), and Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") 104, Revenue
Recognition("SAB 104"). We apply the separation
criteria in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables ("EITF 00-21") to determine whether our arrangements with
multiple deliverables should be treated as separate units of accounting. EITF
00-21 indicates that revenue recognized for any multiple-element contract is to
be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair value
of each element. The determination of the fair value of each element is based on
our analysis of objective evidence from comparable sales of the individual
element.
 
 Revenues
for consulting services are generally recognized as the services are performed.
If there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of
payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty
is sufficiently resolved. For the "fixed" or "not to exceed" fees contracts,
revenues are recognized based on SOP No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts("SOP
81-1").  We estimate the proportional performance on contracts on a
basis of utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated
hours to complete the project.
  Software
License Revenue
 
 We
license our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through
resellers and Application Service Providers ("ASP"). In general, software
license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been
signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the
software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding
product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is
reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk
of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media
containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of
electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the
licensed programs. For products that cannot be used without a licensing key, the
delivery requirement is met when the licensing key is made available to the
customer. If collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized
when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are recognized
ratably over the subscription period. We enter into reseller arrangements that
typically provide for sublicense fees payable to us based upon a percentage of
list prices. We do not grant resellers the right of return.
 
 We
recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP
97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software
arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair
values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance,
consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is
based on vendor-specific objective evidence, which is specific to us. We limit
our assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price
charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by
management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold
separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but
evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is
recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value
of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the
arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.
 
 We record
unearned revenue for software license agreements when cash has been received
from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for revenue recognition
under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable for software
license agreements when the agreement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash
or other consideration has not been received from the customer.
 
 Services
Revenue
 
 Consulting
services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services
are performed.
 
 Maintenance
revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements that
entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements
to our products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement
period, generally twelve months.
 
 Our
consulting services, which consist of consulting, maintenance and training, are
delivered through the BroadVision Global Services ("BVGS") organization. In
January 2008, we renamed BVGS to Worldwide E-Business Solution Organization
("WebSo").  In order to support our customers’ expanded needs relating
to recently launched products, WebSo involves more internal departments than did
the BVGS organization.   The services that we provide are not
essential to the functionality of the software. We record reimbursement from our
customers for out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services
revenues.

 Receivable
Reserves
 Occasionally, our customers experience
financial difficulty after we record the sale but before payment has been
received. We maintain receivable reserves for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our normal payment
terms are generally 30 to 90 days from the invoice date. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to
make the contractual payments, additional reserves may be required. Losses from
customer receivables in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, have not
been significant. If all efforts to collect a receivable fail, and the
receivable is considered uncollectible, we would write off against the
receivable reserve.
 Research and
Development and Software Development Costs
  Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires
capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Based on our product development
process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a
working model. To date, costs incurred by us between the completion of the
working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release
have been insignificant. Accordingly, we have charged all such costs to research
and development expense in the period incurred.
 
 Impairment
Assessments
  As of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, we performed a goodwill impairment analysis under
the Step 1 provisions of SFAS 142. Because our fair value was determined to be
greater than our book value, Step 2 under SFAS 142 was not required, and
therefore no impairment was necessary at December 31, 2007 and
2006.
 
 In
the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a goodwill impairment
charge of $25.1 million, which represents a full write-off of our remaining
goodwill balance in accordance with the requirements SFAS 142. As of
December 31, 2008, we performed Step 1 under the provisions of
SFAS 142 by determining that we have a single reporting unit and then
comparing our net book value to our market capitalization based upon the quoted
market price of our stock. Based upon the results of Step 1, which showed
impairment indicators of our goodwill balance, we completed Step 2 and
recognized an impairment charge of $25.1 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 2008.
 
 Income
Taxes and Deferred Tax Assets
 
 Income
taxes are computed using an asset and liability approach in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for
the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in our Consolidated Financial
Statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets
and liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of
future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of
deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits
that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
 
 We
analyze our deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. We have
established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets to the extent that
management has determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized based upon the uncertainty of
their realization. We consider the effects of estimated future taxable
income, current economic conditions and ongoing prudent and feasible tax
planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation
allowance.
  Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation
  Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS
123R"), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is estimated
at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and
is recognized as expense, net of estimated
pre-vesting forfeitures, ratably over the
vesting period of the award.
  On
November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3 "Transition Election Related to
Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards" ("FSP 123R-3").
We adopted the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position
for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS
123R in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The alternative transition method
includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional
paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee
stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC
pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee
stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R.
The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations and
financial condition.
 
 Prior to
January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based payments to our employees and
non-employee members of our board of directors under the recognition and
measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
Accounting
for Stock Issued
to Employees,and related guidance, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ("SFAS 123"), and amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure("SFAS
148"). We did not
recognize any significant share-based employee compensation costs in our
statements of operations prior to January 1, 2006, as options granted to
employees and non-employee members of the board of directors generally had an
exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. As required by SFAS 148, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we
provided pro forma disclosure of net income (loss) applicable to common
shareholders as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been
applied. In the pro forma information for periods prior to 2006, we accounted
for pre-vesting forfeitures as they occurred. Our operating results for prior
periods have not been restated.
 
 For our
one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split event effective on October 24, 2008, we
were not required to recognize any incremental compensation cost for this equity
restructuring.  Based on FAS 123(R), if an award is adjusted based on
an existing antidilution provision that requires adjustment in the event of an
equity restructuring, and is properly structured to preserve the value of the
awards upon completion of the equity restructuring, incremental fair value
generally should not result from the modification.  Our equity
restructuring did not result in any additional compensation expense related to
our equity awards under SFAS 123R.
 
 Further
details related to our Stock Benefit Plans and our adoption of SFAS 123R are
provided in Note 9 Stockholders' Equity to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.

 Restructuring
(Credits) Charges
  Through
December 31, 2008, we have approved restructuring plans to, among other things,
reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and asset
impairment charges were taken to align our cost structure with changing market
conditions and to create a more efficient organization. Our restructuring
charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination
costs related to the reduction of our workforce; (ii) lease termination
costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating our facilities;
(iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the
restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived
assets abandoned. We account for each of these costs in accordance with SAB No.
100, Restructuring and
Impairment Charges, ("SAB 100").
 l For exit or
      disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we
      account for costs in accordance with EITF 94-3, Liability Recognition for
      Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
      (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)("EITF
      94-3"). Accordingly, we record the liability related to these termination
      costs when the following conditions have been met: (i) management
      with the appropriate level of authority approves a termination plan that
      commits us to such plan and establishes the benefits the employees will
      receive upon termination; (ii) the benefit arrangement is
      communicated to the employees in sufficient detail to enable the employees
      to determine the termination benefits; (iii) the plan specifically
      identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their locations and
      their job classifications; and (iv) the period of time to implement
      the plan does not indicate changes to the plan are
  likely.
 
 l For exit or
      disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for
      costs in accordance with SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs
      Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities("SFAS 146"). SFAS
      146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or
      disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only
      when the liability is incurred. This differed from EITF 94-3, which
      required that a liability for an exit cost be recognized at the date of an
      entity's commitment to an exit
plan.
  Excess
Facilities Costs.  We account
for excess facilities costs as follows:
  l For exit or
      disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we
      account for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with
      EITF 88-10, Costs
      Associated with Lease Modification or Termination. Accordingly, we
      recorded the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment
      when the leased property had no substantive future use or benefit to
      us.
 
 l For exit or
      disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for
      lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with SFAS 146,
      which requires that a liability for such costs be recognized and measured
      initially at fair value on the cease use date of the
    facility.
  Severance
and termination costs and excess facilities costs we record under these
provisions are not associated with nor do they benefit continuing
activities.
  Inherent
in the estimation of the costs related to our restructuring efforts are
assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant
actions to accomplish the restructuring. In determining the charges related to
the restructurings to date, the majority of estimates made by management have
related to charges for excess facilities. In determining the charges for excess
facilities, we were required to estimate future sublease income, future net
operating expenses of the facilities, and brokerage commissions, among other
expenses. The most significant of these estimates have related to the timing and
extent of future sublease income in which to reduce our lease obligations. We
based our estimates of sublease income, in part, on the opinions of independent
real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment
of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of
negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective
facility, among other factors. We have recorded the low-end of a range of
assumptions modeled for restructuring charges, in accordance with SFAS 5. 
Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be required if actual lease exit
costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. We will review
the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate,
record changes to our restructuring obligations in current operations based on
management's most current estimates.
  On
June 29, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a business restructuring
plan, primarily consisting of headcount reductions, designed to adjust expenses
to a level more consistent with anticipated revenues. The reduction included
approximately 63 employees, or 22% of our workforce. We recorded severance
charges of approximately $443,000 and $627,000 in the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
  During
2006 we recorded a restructuring credit of $3.4 million primarily due to a $4.5
million accrual reversal related to the buy-out option of a new space that we
decided to occupy and have sub-leased out excess facility space.
 
 During
2007, one of our leases located in Redwood City expired.  We incurred
an asset retirement obligation of $40,000 before returning the property back to
the landlord. We have also reversed  $347,000 in severance accruals
due to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to these accruals.
This resulted in a reversal of the related accrual amount of $347,000, which is
recorded as part of operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
  During 2008, there were no restructuring charges related to severance and
benefits termination costs.  We recognized restructuring credits in
the amount of $26,000 due to sublease income in excess of rent expense we
incurred during the year 2008.

 Revenues
  Total
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $35.9 million, down $14.1
million, or 28%, from $50.0 million for the prior year. License revenue from the
sales of software licenses decreased from $21.1 million to $12.1 million. The
decreases came from all regions due to less demand for our products and to weak
macro economic conditions. Maintenance revenue, which is generally derived from
maintenance contracts sold with initial customer licenses and from subsequent
contract renewals, declined from $22.7 million to $17.7 million due to certain
customers choosing to not fully renew maintenance contracts, together with the
decline in new license revenue. Consulting revenue, which is generally related
to services in connection with our licensed software, declined from $6.2 million
to $6.0 million.   This decrease in consulting revenue was
attributable to a decline in demand for new licenses from our
customers.
 
 Total
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $50.0 million, down $2.0
million, or 4%, from $52.0 million for the prior year. License revenue from the
sales of software licenses increased from $15.2 million to $21.1 million. The
increases came from all regions due to increased license sales to existing
customers in North America, Europe and Asia. Maintenance revenue declined from
$24.7 million to $22.7 million due to certain customers choosing to not fully
renew maintenance contracts, together with the decline in new license revenue.
Consulting revenue declined from $12.0 million to $6.2 million, primarily
because customers purchased existing versions of our product instead of the
newly released version.

  Operating
Expenses
 
 Operating
expenses consist of the following:
  l Research and development
      expenses consist
      primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs and consulting fees
      incurred in association with the development of our products. Costs
      incurred for the research and development of new software products are
      expensed as incurred until such time that technological feasibility, in
      the form of a working model, is established at which time such costs are
      capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net
      realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a
      working model but prior to general release of the product have not been
      significant. To date, we have not capitalized any costs related to the
      development of software for external use.
 l Sales and marketing
      expenses consist
      primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, commissions and
      other incentive compensation, travel and entertainment and marketing
      program-related expenditures such as collateral materials, trade shows,
      public relations, advertising and creative
  services.
 l General and administrative
      expenses consist
      primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit costs, provisions and
      credits related to uncollectible accounts receivable and professional
      service fees.
 l Goodwill and intangible
      write-offs and amortization represents
      costs to write-off or amortize goodwill and other intangible assets. As of
      January 1, 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill or the assembled
      workforce as we have identified the assembled workforce as an intangible
      asset that does not meet the criteria of a recognizable intangible asset

  Research and
development.    Research
and development expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 5% in 2008 compared to 2007
and decreased $0.8 million, or 8% in 2007 compared to 2006. The decrease from
2007 to 2008 was primarily attributable to different reductions in a number of
areas, including a reduction in bonus payments, computer supplies and
depreciation expenses in computers and software.  The decrease from
2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to our off-shoring of certain research
and development activities to our subsidiary in China. 
 Sales and
marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses decreased
$0.4 million, or 4% in 2008 compared to 2007 and decreased $0.5 million, or 6%
in 2007 compared to 2006. The decrease from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to a
reduction of commission cost as a result of declining revenue  The
decrease from 2006 to 2007 was primarily due to a one-time favorable payroll tax
adjustment in Europe.
  General and
administrative.    General and administrative
expenses in 2008 are comparable to 2007 levels.  General and
administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 22% in 2007 compared to 2006,
due to a reduction of $321,000 in accounting fees, reversal of $735,000 in bad
debt reserves and a reduction of $440,000 in contractor costs.
  Goodwill impairment and
amortization.    On April 14, 2000, we acquired
all of the outstanding common stock of Interleaf, Inc. in a transaction
accounted for as a purchase business combination. As a result of this
transaction, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of
$767.0 million.  Since the fair value of these assets as of
December 31, 2006 and 2007 was determined to be greater than book value, we
determined that no impairment was necessary in 2006 and 2007.  In the
fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that an impairment of the goodwill had
occurred, and therefore we recorded a write-off of $25.1 million as an
impairment amount. From 2000 to 2008, we have amortized or written off the
entire $767.0 million of goodwill we recorded in connection with the Interleaf
Inc. acquisition.
 
 Restructuring (credits) charges,
net.  During 2008 we recorded a restructuring credit of $26,000
relating to our facilities in Redwood City, California and New York, New
York.  This is the result of excess sublease income over our rent
expense for such facilities.  In fiscal 2007, one of our leases
located in Redwood City, California expired.  We incurred an asset
retirement obligation of $40,000 before returning the property back to the
landlord in 2007. We have also reversed the severance accruals due to the
expiration of the statute of limitations related to these
accruals.  This resulted in a reversal of a $347,000 accrual. During
2006 we recorded a restructuring credit of $3.4 million primarily due to a $4.5
million accrual reversal related to the buy-out option of a new space that we
decided not to exercise. In addition, we have sub-leased out excess facility
space in 2006.

  Net
interest income includes interest income on invested funds. We generated
$1,628,000 in interest income from our cash and cash equivalents balances in
2008.  Due to a decline in interest rates, our interest income
decreased by $278,000 in 2008 as compared to 2007.  We generated
$1,906,000 net interest income in 2007 and $638,000 net interest income in
2006.
 
 Income
from revaluation of warrants in 2008 included $4.0 million from the revaluation
of the warrants issued in connection with senior subordinated secured
convertible notes we issued in November 2004 and the real estate buyout in
August 2004.  Expense from revaluation of warrants in 2007 and 2006
were also from the revaluation of the warrants issued in connection with the
November 2004 notes and the real estate buyout in August 2004.  These
changes are primarily due to fluctuations in our stock price during the relevant
periods.
 
 Other income, net decreased from $2,175,000 in 2007 to $1,257,000 in 2008. In
2008, we reversed prior year accruals of $458,000 for foreign goods and services
taxes liability, which we have determined are not owed
anymore.  Other income, net increased from $888,000 in 2006 to
$2,175,000 in 2007.  The changes were primarily due to unrealized
losses and gains on the foreign exchange transactions.
 Income
Taxes
  We
recorded income tax provisions (benefits) of $520,000, ($73,000), and
$634,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006,
respectively. The tax provision from 2008 was primarily due to foreign income
taxes.  The tax benefit for 2007 was primarily due to the reversal of
tax accruals determined to be no longer required and partially offset by foreign
income taxes. The tax provision for 2006 mainly relates to foreign and federal
income taxes.
 
 Liquidity
and Capital Resources
  Background and
Overview
  During
the previous years through December 31, 2005, we faced various liquidity
challenges. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the following significant
events occurred: approximately $20.5 million in convertible debt was exchanged
for 1.4 million shares of common stock; we generated cash flow from operations
of approximately $16.0 million; and we closed our rights offering and raised net
proceeds of approximately $15.8 million. At December 31, 2008, our current
assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $51.0 million. Our
management believes that cash resources at December 31, 2008 will be sufficient
to fund operations through at least December 31, 2009. If our existing cash
resources are not sufficient to meet our obligations, we will seek to raise
additional capital through public or private equity financing or from other
sources. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable
terms as needed, we may be unable to pay our debts as they become due, develop
our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive
pressures or unanticipated requirements.
 
 Our cash
position on our Consolidated Balance Sheet strengthened considerably throughout
2006 to 2008. As of December 31, 2006, we had $37.0 million of cash, with no
long-term debt borrowings. This represents a 671% increase from the prior year's
starting cash position of $4.8 million. Positive cash flow from business
operations and the rights offering each contributed approximately half of the
$32.2 million cash generated during 2006.  As of December 31, 2007, we
had $54.0 million of cash, with no long-term debt borrowings. This represents a
46% increase from the prior year's starting cash position of $37.0 million.
Positive cash flow from business operations contributed approximately all cash
generated during 2007.  As of December 31, 2008, we had $52.9 million
of cash and $9.0 short-term investments, with no long-term debt
borrowings.  This represents a 15% increase from the prior year’s
starting cash position of $54.0 million.  Positive cash flow from
business operations contributed approximately all cash generated during
2008.
 
 Revenues
in year 2007 of $50.0 million were down 4% from 2006 revenues of $52.0 million,
due primarily to declines in consulting revenues, which were down 48%.
Maintenance revenues were down 8%, while license revenues were up 38%. The most
significant change was the year-over-year decline in consulting revenues, which
was because our customers purchased existing versions of our
products.  However, on a more positive note, we released a new version
of our product in the second half of 2007.
 
 Revenues
in year 2008 of $35.9 million were down 28% from 2007 revenues of $50.0 million,
due primarily to declines in licenses revenues, which were down 43%. Maintenance
revenues were down 22% and consulting revenues down 2%. The decrease was caused
primarily by the weak macroeconomic conditions domestically and
abroad.  Economic uncertainties also negatively impacted the timing of
spending decisions and the spending levels of current and prospective customers,
particularly those in the financial services and government
segments.

 Cash
Provided By Operating Activities
  Cash
provided by operating activities was $8.2 million for fiscal
2008.  Net cash provided by operating activities in this period
consisted primarily of $5.5 million in operating profit (excluding restructuring
charges, goodwill impairment and revaluation of warrants) mainly generated from
company-wide cost reduction efforts and cash collected from customers of $3.5
million.
 
 Cash flow
from operating activities was $14.6 million for fiscal 2007.  Net cash
provided by operating activities in this period consisted primarily of $16.3
million in operating profit generated from sales margin improvement and
company-wide cost reduction efforts. Also impacting cash flows from operations
in fiscal 2007 was cash collected from accounts receivable of $2.2 million,
offset by payment of $2.8 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses and a
$6.3 million reduction in unearned revenue accounts.
 
 Cash flow
from operating activities was $16.0 million for fiscal 2006.  Net cash
provided by operating activities in 2006 was primarily due to the $12.3 million
profit (excluding restructuring credit) generated from sales margin improvement
and our company-wide cost reduction efforts. In addition, we recognized a $3.4
million restructuring credit resulting from our effort of subleasing the excess
facilities. Also impacting cash flows from operations in fiscal 2006 was an
additional $5.3 million in collection of accounts receivable and unearned
revenue and deferred maintenance, partially offset by a decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $4.3 million.
  Cash
      (Used for) Provided By Investing
Activities
  Cash
(used for) provided by investing activities in fiscal 2008 was $9,134,000,
primarily as a result of purchasing short-term investments of
$9,004,000.  Cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2007 was
$542,000, primarily as a result of transferring restricted cash to cash
equivalents of $977,000, and offset by capital expenditures of $517,000. Cash
provided by investing activities in fiscal 2006 was $180,000, primarily as a
result of sales of cost-method investments of $426,000 and offset by capital
expenditures of $246,000
  Our
capital expenditures substantially consist of purchases of operating resources
to manage our operations and included computer hardware and software, office
furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements.
  Cash
Provided By Financing Activities
 
 Cash
provided by financing activities was $332,000 in fiscal 2008, primarily due to
cash received in connection with employee purchases of common stock under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  In the fourth quarter of 2008, we paid
$325,000 for fractional shares due to a reverse stock split
transaction.  Cash provided by financing activities was
$2.0 million in fiscal 2007, primarily due to issuance of common stock
in relation to option and warrant exercises. Cash provided by financing
activities was $15.9 million in fiscal 2006. In November 2006, we closed
the rights offering, which provided $15.8 million in net proceeds after issuance
costs.

 Leases
and Other Contractual Obligations
  We lease
our headquarters and other facilities under non-cancelable operating lease
agreements expiring 2012. Under the terms of the agreements, we are required to
pay lease costs, property taxes, insurance, and normal maintenance
costs.
  We expect
to incur significant operating expenses for the foreseeable future in order to
execute our business plan. A summary of total future minimum lease payments as
of December 31, 2008, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements is as
follows (in millions):

 As of
December 31, 2008, we have accrued $0.8 million of estimated future facilities
costs as a restructuring accrual. This accrual includes the above minimum lease
payments that are related to excess space under lease and certain lease related
allowances, fees and expenses, partially offset by estimated future sublease
income (See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).
  Additional Factors That May Affect
Future Liquidity
  The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31,
2008 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and
cash flows in future years. Restricted cash represents the collateral for our

 We
anticipate that future operating expenses and cash payments under operating
leases will constitute a material use of our existing cash resources. As a
result, our net cash flows will depend heavily on the level of future revenues,
and our ability to manage infrastructure costs.

 Quarterly
Results of Operations
 
 The
following tables set forth certain unaudited Consolidated Statement of
Operations data for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2008, as well as
that data expressed as a percentage of our total revenues for the periods
indicated.
 
 This data
has been derived from unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements that, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such information
when read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto.
 
 The unaudited quarterly information should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this
Form 10-K. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our
financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon
as an indication of future performance.

 Our
quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate
significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which
are outside of our control. It is likely that our operating results in one or
more future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock almost certainly
would decline.

 RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
  In October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Staff Position FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active("FSP
157-3"). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not
active, and demonstrates how the fair value of a financial asset is determined
when the market for the financial assets is inactive.  FSP 157-3 was
effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements
had not been issued.  The implementation of this standard did not have
an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
  In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles("SFAS 162").SFAS 162 defines
the order in which accounting principles that are generally accepted should be
followed. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP 157-2,The Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157 ("SFAS
157-2"),  , which delays the effective date of
SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except
those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements
on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. These
nonfinancial items include assets and liabilities such as reporting units
measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and nonfinancial assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS 157-2 to have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
  Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
("SFAS 157"), for financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and
liabilities carried at fair value.  This pronouncement clarifies the
definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB
agreed to a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other
non-financial assets and liabilities. Our adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a
material effect on our financial statements for financial assets and liabilities
and any other assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combination ("SFAS
141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles
and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement
also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the
nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is to be
applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after an entity's fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We will
assess the impact of SFAS 141R if and when a future acquisition
occurs.
  In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51 ("SFAS 160"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards
for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the
valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that
provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal
year that begins after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the
potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
   ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
 
 Our
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our
investment portfolio. We had no derivative financial instruments as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007. We place our investments in instruments that
meet high credit quality standards and the amount of credit exposure to any one
issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited.
 
 Cash
and Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments
 
 We
consider all debt and equity securities with remaining maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term
investments consist of debt and equity securities that have a remaining maturity
of less than one year as of the date of the balance sheet. Cash and cash
equivalents that serve as collateral for financial instruments such as letters
of credit are classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash in which the
underlying instrument has a term of greater than twelve months from the balance
sheet date are classified as non-current.
 
 Management
determines the appropriate classification of short-term investments at the time
of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All
short-term investments to date have been classified as held to maturity and
carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Our short-term
investments’ contractual maturities are between January 2009 and February
2009.  Total realized gains during fiscal years 2008 and 2007 were
$1,628,000 and $1,906,000, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents, and
restricted cash consisted of the following as of December 31, 2008 and 2007

  Concentrations
of Credit Risk
  Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts
receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
with high-quality institutions. Our management performs ongoing credit
evaluations of our customers and requires certain of these customers to provide
security deposits or letters of credit.
 
 Cash
deposits in foreign countries of approximately $14.0 million are subject to
local banking laws and may bear higher or lower risk than cash deposited in the
United States. As part of our cash and investment management processes, we
perform periodic evaluations of the credit standing of the financial
institutions we use and we have not sustained any credit losses from instruments
held at these financial institutions. From time to time, our financial
instruments maintained in our foreign subsidiaries may be subject to political
risks or instability that may arise in foreign countries where we
operate.
  At
December 31, 2008, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts
receivable balance.  At December 31, 2007, one customer accounted for
20% of our accounts receivable balance. For the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006, no customer accounted for 10% or more of our total
revenues.
 
 Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
 
 Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157. SFAS 157 provides a
definition of fair value, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value under
generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about
fair values used in the financial statements.   SFAS 157 defines
fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair
value under SFAS 157 aim to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy
based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered
observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value,
which are the following:
 
 ·
                  Level
      1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
      liabilities.
 ·
                  Level
      2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
      indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
      quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
      observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
      substantially the full term of the assets or
    liabilities.
 ·
                  Level
      3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
      and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
      liabilities.
 
 We
measurethe following
financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these
financial assets as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands)wereas follows:

Includes money market funds.
 Our
financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term investments,
accounts receivable, and accounts payable. We do not have any derivative
financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts of our financial
instruments approximates fair value, based upon the short maturity of cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates
available to us on short-term investments.
  Foreign
Currency
 
 We
license our products and maintain significant operations in foreign countries.
Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, principally the Euro, British
Pound and Japanese Yen, relative to the United States dollar have impacted our
operating results in the past and may do so in the future. We expect that
international licenses, maintenance and consulting revenues will continue to
account for a significant portion of our total revenues in the future. We pay
the expenses of our international operations in local currencies and do not
currently engage in hedging transactions with respect to such
obligations.
  Equity
Investments
 
 Our
equity investments consist of equity investments in public and non-public
companies that are accounted for under either the cost method of accounting or
the equity method of accounting. Equity investments are accounted for under the
cost method of accounting when we have a minority interest and do not have the
ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are classified as
available for sale and are carried at fair value when readily determinable
market values exist or at cost when such market values do not exist. Adjustments
to fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income unless
the investments are considered permanently impaired in which case the adjustment
is recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations. Equity investments are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting when we have a minority interest and have the ability to
exercise significant influence. These investments are classified as available
for sale and are carried at cost with periodic adjustments to carrying value for
equity in net income (loss) of the equity investee. Such adjustments are
recorded as a component of other income, net. Any decline in value of our
investments, which is other than a temporary decline, is charged to earnings
during the period in which the impairment occurs. These investments were either
liquidated or written-off in 2005 and a net gain of $17,000 was recorded. In
2006, we received approximately $426,000 cash related to investments we made in
prior years. There was no net gain or loss in 2007.  In 2008, we
received approximately $35,000 cash related to investments we made in prior
years.  Those investments were accounted for under the lower of cost
or market method and were written off in prior years. The gain is reported under
"Other Income , net" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

 ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA
 
 The
following Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto of
BroadVision, Inc. and the Report of the Company’s Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm are filed as a part of this Form 10-K.
  REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 BroadVision,
Inc.
 
 We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BroadVision, Inc. and
its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss), and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
accompanying index at item 15(a)2. We also have audited BroadVision, Inc.'s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on
criteria established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
BroadVision, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements and
financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial
reporting based on our integrated audits.
 
 We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.
 
 A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
 
 Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of BroadVision, Inc. as of December
31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index at
Item 15(a)2 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated
financial statements. Also in our opinion, BroadVision, Inc. maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control --
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO).

 Note 1---Organization
and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 Nature
of Business
 
 BroadVision, Inc.
(collectively with its subsidiaries, "BroadVision" or "we") was incorporated in
the state of Delaware on May 13, 1993 and has been a publicly traded
corporation since 1996. We develop, market, and support enterprise portal
applications that enable companies to unify their e-business infrastructure and
conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners, and
customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues,
reduces costs, and improves productivity.
  On September 9, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors and requisite
stockholders had approved a reverse stock split of our common stock on a one for
twenty five ratio, effective October 24, 2008.   Our common stock
began trading on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on October 27,
2008.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related
financial information contained herein for all periods presented have been
retroactively restated to give effect to the stock split in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
 
 Our
common stock began trading on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on
October 27, 2008.  Our stock was quoted under the trading symbol
"BVIS.OB" on the OTC Bulletin Board from October 27, 2008 to November 7,
2008.  Since November 10, 2008, we have transferred the quotation of
our common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board to the NASDAQ Global Market under
the trading symbol "BVSN".
 
 Principles
of Consolidation
  The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our
subsidiaries and us. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 Use
of Estimates
 
 The
preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates, including those related to receivable reserves, stock-based
compensation, investments, impairment assessments, income taxes and
restructuring, as well as contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are
reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates using different
assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies
reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 Revenue
Recognition
 
 Overview
 
 Our
revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance,
consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses
of our software products either based on the number of persons using the
product or based on the number of CPUs on which the product is installed.
Licenses for software for which fees are charged based upon the number of
persons using the product include licenses for development use and licenses for
use by registered users of the customer's website (deployment use). Licenses for
software for which fees are charged on a per-CPU basis differentiate between
development and deployment usage. Our revenue recognition policies comply with
the provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition("SOP 97-2"), as amended by SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With
Respect to Certain Transactions("SOP 98-9"), and Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") 104, Revenue
Recognition("SAB 104"). We apply the separation
criteria in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables ("EITF 00-21") to determine whether our arrangements with
multiple deliverables should be treated as separate units of accounting. EITF
00-21 indicates that revenue recognized for any multiple-element contract is to
be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair value
of each element. The determination of the fair value of each element is based on
our analysis of objective evidence from comparable sales of the individual
element.
 
 Revenues
for consulting services are generally recognized as the services are performed.
If there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of
payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty
is sufficiently resolved. For the "fixed" or "not to exceed" fees contracts,
revenues are recognized based on SOP No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts("SOP
81-1").  We estimate the proportional performance on contracts on a
basis of utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated
hours to complete the project.
  Software
License Revenue
 
 We
license our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through
resellers and Application Service Providers ("ASP"). In general, software
license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been
signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the
software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding
product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is
reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk
of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media
containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of
electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the
licensed programs. For products that cannot be used without a licensing key, the
delivery requirement is met when the licensing key is made available to the
customer. If collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized
when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are recognized
ratably over the subscription period. We enter into reseller arrangements that
typically provide for sublicense fees payable to us based upon a percentage of
list prices. We do not grant resellers the right of return.
 
 We
recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP
97-2, as amended by SOP 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software
arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair
values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance,
consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is
based on vendor-specific objective evidence, which is specific to us. We limit
our assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price
charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by
management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold
separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but
evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is
recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value
of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the
arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.
 
 We record
unearned revenue for software license agreements when cash has been received
from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for revenue recognition
under our revenue recognition policy. We record accounts receivable for software
license agreements when the agreement qualifies for revenue recognition but cash
or other consideration has not been received from the customer.

 Services
Revenue
 
 Consulting
services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services
are performed.
 
 Maintenance
revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements that
entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements
to our products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement
period, generally twelve months.
 
 Our
consulting services, which consist of consulting, maintenance and training, are
delivered through the BroadVision Global Services ("BVGS") organization. In
January 2008, we renamed BVGS to Worldwide E-Business Solution Organization
("WebSo").  In order to support our customers’ expanded needs relating
to recently launched products, WebSo involves more internal departments than did
the BVGS organization. The services that we provide are not essential to the
functionality of the software. We record reimbursement from our customers for
out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues.
 
 Cash
and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Short-term Investments
 
 We
consider all debt and equity securities with remaining maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term
investments consist of debt and equity securities that have a remaining maturity
of less than one year as of the date of the balance sheet. Cash and cash
equivalents that serve as collateral for financial instruments such as letters
of credit are classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash in which the
underlying instrument has a term of greater than twelve months from the balance
sheet date are classified as non-current. At December 31, 2008, a letter of
credit of $1.0 million secured by an equal amount of restricted cash is
available to the landlord securing certain facilities leases as more fully
described in Note 7.
 
 Management
determines the appropriate classification of short-term investments at the time
of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All
short-term investments to date have been classified as held-to-maturity and
carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value, on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our short-term investments’ contractual maturities
are between January 2009 and February 2009.  Total realized gains
during fiscal years 2008 and 2007 were $1,628,000 and $1,906,000, respectively,
and are included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
 
 Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments

and Development and Software Development Costs
  Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, Accounting for the Cost of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires
capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Based on our product development
process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a
working model. To date, costs incurred by us from the completion of the working
model to the point at which the product is ready for general release have been
insignificant. Accordingly, we have charged all such costs to research and
development expense in the period incurred.

 Advertising
Costs
  Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is included in sales
and marketing expense, amounted to $76,000, $146,000 and $33,000 in 2008, 2007
and 2006, respectively.
  Prepaid
Royalties
 
 Prepaid
royalties relating to purchased software to be incorporated and sold with our
software products are amortized as a cost of software licenses either on a
straight-line basis over the remaining term of the royalty agreement or on the
basis of projected product revenues, whichever results in greater
amortization.
  Receivable
Reserves
  Occasionally,
our customers experience financial difficulty after we record the revenue but
before payment has been received. We maintain receivable reserves for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.
Our normal payment terms are generally 30 to 90 days from the invoice date.
If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
their inability to make the contractual payments, additional reserves may be
required. Losses from customer receivables in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2008, have not been significant. If all efforts to collect a
receivable fail, and the receivable is considered uncollectible, such receivable
would be written off against the receivable reserve.
 Concentrations
of Credit Risk
 
 Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts
receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
with high-quality institutions. Our management performs ongoing credit
evaluations of our customers and requires certain of these customers to provide
security deposits or letters of credit.
 
 Cash
deposits in foreign countries of approximately $14.0 million and $14.2 million
on December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are subject to local banking laws
and may bear higher or lower risk than cash deposited in the United States. As
part of our cash and investment management processes, we perform periodic
evaluations of the credit standing of the financial institutions and we have not
sustained any credit losses from instruments held at these financial
institutions. From time to time, our financial instruments maintained in our
foreign subsidiaries may be subject to political risks or instability that may
arise in foreign countries where we operate.
 
 As of
December 31, 2008, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts
receivable balance.  At December 31, 2007, one customer accounted for
20% of our accounts receivable balance. For the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006, no customer accounted for 10% or more of our total
revenues.
 
 Restructuring
 
 Through
December 31, 2008, we have approved certain restructuring plans to, among
other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and
asset impairment charges were taken to align our cost structure with changing
market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. Our restructuring
charges are comprised primarily of: (1) lease termination costs and/or
costs associated with permanently vacating and sub-leasing our facilities;
(2) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the
restructuring plan; (3) impairment costs related to certain long-lived
assets abandoned, and (4) severance and benefits termination costs related
to the reduction of our workforce. We account for each of these costs in
accordance with SAB 100, Restructuring and Impairment
Charges.
 
 We
account for severance and benefits termination costs in accordance with EITF
94-3, Liability Recognition
for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) ("EITF 94-3"), for
exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002.
Accordingly, we record the liability related to these termination costs when the
following conditions have been met: (i) management with the appropriate
level of authority approves a termination plan that commits us to such plan and
establishes the benefits the employees will receive upon termination;
(ii) the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employees in sufficient
detail to enable the employees to determine the termination benefits;
(iii) the plan specifically identifies the number of employees to be
terminated, their locations and their job classifications; and (iv) the
period of time to implement the plan does not indicate changes to the plan are
likely. The termination costs recorded by us are not associated with nor do they
benefit continuing activities. We account for severance and benefits termination
costs for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 in
accordance with SFAS 146, Accounting For Costs Associated with
Exit Activities("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. This
differs from EITF 94-3, which required that a liability for an exit cost be
recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan.
  Prior to
the adoption on January 1, 2003 of SFAS 146, we accounted for the
costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment in accordance with
EITF 88-10, Costs Associated
with Lease Modification or Termination ("EITF 88-10"). Accordingly, we
recorded the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the
leased property has no substantive future use or benefit to us. Under EITF
88-10, we record the liability associated with lease termination and/or
abandonment as the sum of the total remaining lease costs and related exit
costs, less probable sublease income. Under SFAS 146, we record a liability for
lease termination and/or abandonment cost initially at fair value on the
cease-use date of that facility. We account for costs related to long-lived
assets abandoned in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and, accordingly, charges to expense the
net carrying value of the long-lived assets when we cease to use the
assets.
  Inherent
in the estimation of the costs related to our restructuring efforts are
assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant
actions to accomplish the restructuring.  In determining the charge
related to the restructuring, the majority of estimates made by management
related to the charge for excess facilities. In determining the charge for
excess facilities, we were required to estimate future sublease income, future
net operating expenses of the facilities, and brokerage commissions, among other
expenses. The most significant of these estimates related to the timing and
extent of future sublease income in which to reduce our lease obligations. We
based our estimates of sublease income, in part, on the opinions of independent
real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment
of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of
negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective
facility, among other factors.
 
 We have
recorded restructuring charges at the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled
for restructuring charges in accordance with SFAS No.5, Accounting for Contingencies("SFAS 5").
Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be required if actual lease exit
costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. We will review
the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate,
record changes to our restructuring obligations in current operations based on
management's most current estimates.

 Property
and Equipment
 
 Property
and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over
their estimated useful lives (generally two years for software, three years for
computer equipment and four years for furniture and fixtures). Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease
term or their estimated useful lives.
 
 Maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization
are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in
operations in the period realized.
 
 Valuation
of Long-Lived Assets
 
 We
adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets ("SFAS 142"), on January 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS 142,
we are required to test our goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually
or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that our goodwill
might be impaired. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-step approach in
determining whether, and by how much, goodwill has been impaired. The first step
requires a comparison of our fair value to our net book value. If the fair value
is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is
less, then the second step must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of
actual impairment (Note 3).
 
 During
the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a goodwill
impairment charge of $25.1 million, which represents a full write-off of
our remaining goodwill balance in accordance with the requirements of
SFAS 142. As of December 31, 2008, we performed Step 1 under the
provisions of SFAS 142 by determining that we have a single reporting unit
and then comparing our net book value to  our market capitalization
based upon the quoted market price of our stock. Based upon the results of Step
1, which showed impairment indicators of our goodwill balance, we completed Step
2 and recognized an impairment charge of $25.1 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 2008.
 
 The
impairment charge was recorded as a component of operating expenses in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations and was determined by comparing the
implied fair value of the goodwill, with its carrying amount on the balance
sheet. The decline in our fair value is attributed to continued competition and
a decline in the revenues of current generation products due to weaker market
conditions and the ongoing transition to next-generation software
platforms.  In addition, our stock price has been affected by the
general deterioration in the capital markets caused by the ongoing financial
crisis.  Our fair value was determined using a weighted average of a
discounted cash flows method as well as a market valuation method.
  Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
  Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157,Fair Value
Measurements("SFAS 157").
SFAS 157 provides a definition of fair value, establishes a hierarchy for
measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and
requires certain disclosures about fair values used in the financial
statements.   SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price
that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit
price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The
standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of
which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that
may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
 
 ·
              Level
      1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
      liabilities.
 ·
              Level
      2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
      indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
      quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
      observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
      substantially the full term of the assets or
  liabilities.
 ·
              Level
      3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
      and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
      liabilities.
 
 We
measurethe following
financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these
financial assets as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands)wereas follows:

 Employee
Stock Benefit Plans
 
 2006 Equity Incentive Plan:
At our 2006 annual meeting held on August 8, 2006, our stockholders approved the
adoption of our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan"), under which
140,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. Our 1996 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "Prior Equity Plan") was terminated and replaced by the
Equity Plan. Under the Equity Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive
or nonqualified stock options at prices not less than 100% of the fair market
value of our common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors, at the date
of grant. The vesting of individual options may vary but in each case at least
20% of the total number of shares subject to vesting will become exercisable per
year. These options generally expire ten years after the grant date. When an
employee option is exercised prior to vesting, any unvested shares so purchased
are subject to repurchase by us at the original purchase price of the stock upon
termination of employment. Our right to repurchase lapses at a minimum rate of
20% per year over five years from the date the option was granted or, for new
employees, the date of hire. Such right is exercisable only within 90 days
following termination of employment. During the years ended December 31, 2008,
2007, and 2006, no shares were repurchased since no options were exercised prior
to vesting. We may grant options from plans not approved by security holders.
The "2000 Non-Officer Plan" is our only plan that has not been approved by our
stockholders.  In addition, we have granted options outside of the
plans, pursuant to arrangements that have not been approved by our
stockholders.
 
 2000 Non-Officer Plan: In
February 2000, we adopted our 2000 Non-Officer Plan under which 240,000 shares
of common stock were reserved for issuance to selected employees, consultants,
and our affiliates who are not Officers or Directors. As of December 31, 2008,
we had 40,549 shares available for issuance under the 2000 Non-Officer Plan.
Under the 2000 Non-Officer Plan, we may grant non-statutory stock options at
prices not less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock at the
date of grant. Options granted under the 2000 Non-Officer Plan generally vest
over two years and are exercisable for not more than ten years.
  Employee Stock Purchase Plan:We also have a compensatory Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase
Plan") that enables employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of
our common stock at a discount from the market price of the stock at the time of
purchase. The Board of Directors has authorized sequential one-year offerings
beginning on July 1 of each year and extending until June 30 of the following
year.  Commencing on the first day of the fiscal year that begins on
January 1, 2004 and ending on (and including) the first day of the fiscal year
that begins on January 1, 2014 (each such day, a "Calculation Date"), our
Purchase Plan's reserved shares can be increased by a number equal to the lesser
of (i) one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding
on each such Calculation Date (rounded down to the nearest whole share); or (ii)
thirty two thousand (32,000) shares of Common Stock.
 
 As of
December 31, 2008, we had 78,932 shares available for issuance under the
Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common
stock with a value equivalent to a percentage of the employee's earnings, not to
exceed the lesser of 15% of the employee's earnings or $25,000, at a price equal
to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
the offering or the date of purchase. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based
Payment ("SFAS 123R") (effective January 1, 2006), we began recording
stock-based compensation expense related to the fair value of the employee
purchase rights in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
  Stock-Based
Compensation
  Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R,
using the modified-prospective transition method. Under the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is estimated
at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as
expense, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, ratably over the vesting
period of the award. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123R requires additional
accounting related to the income tax effects and disclosure regarding the cash
flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. In January 2005,
the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107"), which provides supplemental implementation
guidance for SFAS 123R. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires
the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the
share-based awards, stock price volatility, dividend yield, risk free interest
rates, and pre-vesting forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the fair
value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a
result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based
compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition,
we are required to estimate the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and only
recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture
rate is materially different from our estimate, our share-based compensation
expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the
current period. The total amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are as the
following:

 For our
reverse stock split effected in October 2008, we were not required to recognize
any incremental compensation cost for this equity
restructuring.  Based on FAS 123(R), if an award is adjusted based on
an existing antidilution provision that requires adjustment in the event of an
equity restructuring, and is properly structured to preserve the value of the
awards upon completion of the equity restructuring, incremental fair value
generally should not result from the modification.  Our equity
restructuring did not result in any additional compensation expense related to
our equity awards under SFAS 123R.
 
 On
November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3 "Transition Election Related to
Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards" ("FSP 123R-3").
We adopted the alternative transition method provided in this FASB Staff
Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to
SFAS 123R in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The alternative transition
method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the
additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of
employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the
APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of
employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of
SFAS 123R. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.
  The fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model based on the assumptions noted in the
following table below. The expected term of options represents the period that
our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified
method provided for in SAB 107, as amended by SAB No. 110, Share-Based
Payment. Because we do not have sufficient
historical exercise data, we used the simplified method for estimating the
stock option expected term.  The risk-free interest rate for periods
related to the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
curve in effect at the time of grant.  The expected volatility is based on
historical volatilities of our stock over the expected life of the option. 
The expected dividend yield is zero, as we do not anticipate paying dividends in
the near future. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
we used forfeiture rates of 12%, 9% and 11%, respectively, based on an analysis
of historical data as we reasonably approximate the currently anticipated rate
of forfeiture for granted and outstanding options that have not vested.

December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, was $8.8, $19.5, and $5.5,
respectively.
 
 In
anticipation of the reporting requirements under SFAS 123R, our Board of
Directors on November 29, 2005 unanimously approved accelerating the
vesting of the following out-of-the-money, unvested stock options held by
current employees, including executive officers, and members of the Board of
Directors. The acceleration applied only to those options with an exercise price
of $28.25 per share or higher. The closing market price of our common stock on
November 28, 2005, the last full trading day before the date of the
acceleration, was $18.00 per share.

provisions of SFAS 123R, which was effective as of January 1, 2006.

 Earnings
Per Share Information
 
 We
effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split of our common stock,
effective October 24, 2008.   Our common stock began trading on a
post-split basis at the opening of trading on October 27, 2008.  The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial information
contained herein for all periods presented have been retroactively restated to
give effect to the stock split in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
 
 Basic
(loss) income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares
of common stock outstanding, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted (loss)
income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares from
outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The
following table sets forth the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share
computational data for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share

 Foreign
Currency Transactions
  During
fiscal 2004, we changed the functional currencies of all foreign subsidiaries
from the U.S. dollar to the local currency of the respective countries. Assets
and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the
balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange
rates for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as other
income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  During
2008 and 2006, we determined that one of our foreign subsidiaries' operations
had substantially ceased and was effectively liquidated, and as a result, we
wrote off $87,000 and $51,000, respectively, of related cumulative translation
adjustments which were recorded as charges to other income, net in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.  For the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, translation (loss) gain was ($499,000),
($152,000), and $75,000, respectively, and is included in the Comprehensive
income (loss) account in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholder's
Equity.
  Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
 
 Comprehensive
income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss),
which may consist of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities and cumulative translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income
(loss) is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Stockholders'
Equity (Deficit). Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is
displayed as a separate component of Consolidated Statement of Stockholder's
Equity (Deficit) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) , consisting primarily
of foreign currency translation, net of taxes is as follows (in

 Income
Taxes
  Income
taxes are computed using an asset and liability approach in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for
the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in our Consolidated Financial
Statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets
and liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of
future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of
deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits
that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
 
 We
analyze our deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. We have
established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets to the extent that
management has determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized based upon the uncertainty of
their realization. We consider the effects of estimated future taxable
income, current economic conditions and ongoing prudent and feasible tax
planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation
allowance.

  Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
  In
October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active("FSP
157-3"). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not
active, and demonstrates how the fair value of a financial asset is determined
when the market for the financial assets is inactive.  FSP 157-3 was
effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements
had not been issued.  The implementation of this standard did not have
an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
  In May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles("SFAS 162").SFAS 162 defines
the order in which accounting principles that are generally accepted should be
followed. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP 157-2, The Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157 ("SFAS 157-2"),which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. These nonfinancial items include
assets and liabilities such as reporting units measured at fair value in a
goodwill impairment test and nonfinancial assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a business combination.  We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS 157-2 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
  Effective
January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157  for
financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities carried at
fair value.  This pronouncement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. In February 2008, the FASB agreed to a one-year deferral for the
implementation of SFAS 157 for other non-financial assets and liabilities. Our
adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on our Consolidated
Financial Statements for financial assets and liabilities and any other assets
and liabilities carried at fair value.
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS
141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles
and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non
controlling interest in the acquire and the goodwill acquired. The Statement
also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the
nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is to be
applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after an entity's fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We will
assess the impact of SFAS 141R if and when a future acquisition
occurs.
  In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51 ("SFAS 160"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards
for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the
valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that
provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160
is effective as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after
December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of
the adoption of SFAS 160 on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.

 Note 3---Goodwill
  Goodwill is tested for impairment in the event of an impairment indicator
or, in the absence of any impairment indicators, at least annually.
 
 In
the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a goodwill impairment
charge of $25.1 million, which represents a full write-off of our remaining
goodwill balance in accordance with the requirements SFAS 142. As of
December 31, 2008, we performed Step 1 under the provisions of
SFAS 142 by determining that we have a single reporting unit and then
comparing our net book value to our market capitalization based upon the quoted
market price of our stock. Based upon the results of Step 1, which showed
impairment indicators of our goodwill balance, we completed Step 2 and
recognized an impairment charge of $25.1 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 2008.
 
 The
impairment charge was recorded as a component of operating expenses in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations and was determined by comparing the
implied fair value of the goodwill with its carrying amount on the balance
sheet. The decline in our fair value is attributed to continued competition and
a decline in the revenues of current generation products due to weaker market
conditions and the ongoing transition to next-generation software platforms. In
addition, our stock price has been affected by the general deterioration in the
capital markets caused by the ongoing financial crisis.   Our
fair value was determined using a weighted average of a discounted cash flows
method as well as a market valuation method.
 
 The
process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective
and requires significant judgment. In estimating the fair value, we made
estimates and judgments about future revenues and cash flows. Our forecasts were
based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we are
using to manage the business.
 
 From 2000 through 2008, we have amortized and written off the entire $767.0
million goodwill incurred as a result of a statutory merger involving a
stock-for-stock exchange with another company.

 We have
provided a valuation allowance for all of our deferred tax assets as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, due to the uncertainty regarding their future
realization. The total valuation allowance increased $1,558,000 from
December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and decreased $14,457,000 from
December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007, respectively, due primarily to
utilization of net operating loss carryovers as well as increase in accruals and
allowances. As of December 31, 2008, we had federal and state net operating
loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $543,803,000 and $158,242,000, net
of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limitations respectively,
available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income. The
NOLs include deductions for stock based compensation for which a benefit would
be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized of $1,799,000 and
$1,447,000 respectively. In addition, we had federal and state research and
development credit carryforwards of approximately $4,456,000 and $3,176,000 as
of December 31, 2008, respectively, available to offset future tax
liabilities.  We had federal and state research and development credit
carryforwards of approximately $4,290,000 and $2,854,000 as of December 31,
2007, respectively, available to offset future tax liabilities.  Our
federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expire in the tax years
2011 through 2025, if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards
expire in the tax years 2014 through 2017. The state research and development
credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

 Federal
and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net
operating loss and credit carryforwards in the event of an "ownership change"
for tax purposes, as defined in IRC Section 382. Based on an IRC Section 382
study completed in February 2007, we determined that there were ownership
changes during the year 1998. Consequently, a portion of our tax carryforwards
will expire before they can be fully utilized. Therefore, in 2007, we reduced
our reported available federal NOL carryforwards by approximately $5.3 million.
Based on an updated study completed in January 2009, we determined that there
were no additional ownership changes through December
2008.
  Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Interpretation, or FIN No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109 ("FIN No. 48"). Fin
No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in our income tax return, and also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 utilizes a two-step approach for
evaluating uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income
Taxes ("SFAS No. 109"). Step one, Recognition, requires us to
determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that a tax position is
more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related
appeals or litigation processes, if any. Step two, Measurement, is based on the
largest amount of benefit, which is more likely than not to be realized on
ultimate settlement. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 on January 1,
2007 is recognized as a change in accounting principle, recorded as an
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption
date.
 
 Upon
adoption of FIN No. 48, our policy to include interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits within our provision for (benefit from) income taxes
did not change.
 
 Our total
amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 and December 31,
2008 were $1,860,000 and $2,237,000, respectively. Also, our total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect its effective tax
rate were $160,000 and $329,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2008,
respectively.
 
 The tax
years 1993 to 2008 remain open in several jurisdictions, none of which have
individual significance in our opinion.

 Warranties
and Indemnification
  We
provide a warranty to our customers that our software will perform substantially
in accordance with the documentation we provide with the software, typically for
a period of 90 days following receipt of the software. Historically, costs
related to these warranties have been immaterial. Accordingly, we have not
recorded any warranty liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007.
 
 Our
software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers
for intellectual property infringement claims caused by use of a current release
of our software consistent with the terms of the license agreement. The term of
these indemnification clauses is generally perpetual. The potential future
payments we could be required to make under these indemnification clauses is
generally limited to the amount the customer paid for the software.
Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have been
immaterial. We also maintain liability insurance that limits our exposure. As a
result, we believe the potential liability of these indemnification clauses is
minimal. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
 We
entered into agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for
certain events or occurrences while the officer is, or was, serving in such
capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for so long as such officer
or director is subject to an indemnifiable event by reason of the fact that such
person was serving in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future
payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements may
be unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that
limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts
paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated
fair value of these indemnification agreements is insignificant. Accordingly, we
have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of either December 31, 2008
or December 31, 2007. We assess the need for an indemnification reserve on a
quarterly basis and there can be no guarantee that an indemnification reserve
will not become necessary in the future.
 
 Leases
 
 We lease
our headquarters facility and our other facilities under noncancelable operating
lease agreements expiring through the year 2012. Under the terms of the
agreements, we are required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal
maintenance costs.

 The
severance and benefits accrual for each period includes severance, payroll taxes
and COBRA benefits related to restructuring plans implemented prior to the
balance sheet date. The facilities/excess assets accrual for each period
includes future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, net of estimated
sublease income and planned company occupancy, and related leasehold improvement
amounts payable subsequent to the balance sheet date for which the provisions of
EITF 94-3 or SFAS 146, as applicable, were satisfied. See further
discussion below. In determining estimated future sublease income, the following
factors were considered, among others: opinions of independent real estate
experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment of the time
period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of negotiations
with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective
facilities.
 
 In
September 2006, we decided not to exercise a $4.5 million buy-out option for a
50,000 square foot lease for 66 months from January 1, 2007 through June 30,
2012 at Pacific Shores Center. We instead decided to occupy a portion of the new
space and sub-lease the remaining excess space. In January 2007, we moved into
our new worldwide headquarters at Pacific Shores Center, occupying approximately
27,000 square feet of office facilities used for research and development,
technical support, sales, marketing, consulting, training and administration. We
subleased approximately 22,500 square feet effective on January 8,
2007.

 The
nature of the charges and credits in 2008 were as follows:
 
 l
              Severance and
      benefits -- In 2008, we did not incur any severance and
      benefits expense.
 
 l
              Facilities/excess
      assets -- During 2008, we recorded a facilities-related
      restructuring credit of $26,000 due to an excess of subleases
      income.
 
 The
nature of the charges and credits in 2007 were as follows:
  l
              Severance and
      benefits -- In 2007, we have reversed severance accruals due
      to the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations. This resulted
      into a reversal of the related accrual of
  $347,000.
 
 l
              Facilities/excess
      assets -- During 2007, one of the leases located in Redwood
      City, California expired. We incurred an asset retirement obligation of
      $40,000 before returning the property to the landlord.  This
      amount was included in the restructuring charge of
    $996,000.
 
 The
nature of the charges and credits in 2006 were as follows:
  l
              Severance and
      benefits -- During the year ended December 31, 2006, we
      recorded $348,000 in severance charges related to the approved Work
      Reduction Plan. Due to European labor law we were not able to recognize
      severance charges for three employees until
  2006.
 
 l
              Facilities/excess
      assets -- During the year ended December 31, 2006, we
      recorded a facilities-related restructuring credit of $3.7 million.
      In the third quarter of 2006, we did not exercise a $4.5 million option to
      buy out the residual lease obligation entered in 2004 and the buyout
      option expired. Therefore, we reversed the 2004 accrual in the third
      quarter of 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we subleased 22,500 square
      feet of excess space and adjusted the restructuring accrual accordingly.
      We made cash payments of $0.9 million during the year ended
      December 31, 2006 related to these
  agreements.
 
 As of
December 31, 2008, we have remaining lease obligation of approximately $5.6
million.  As a component of the settlement of one of the previous
leases, we have a residual lease obligation beginning in 2007 of approximately
$9.0 million. We would have made an additional cash payment of
$4.5 million had we exercised an option to terminate this residual real
estate obligation prior to the commencement of the lease term
(January 2007). This option to terminate the residual lease obligation is
accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146 and is a part of the
restructuring credit of $24.6 million recorded in fiscal 2004. As discussed
above, in the third quarter of 2006, we did not exercise the $4.5 million
option to buy out the residual lease obligation, and the buy-out option expired.
In connection with one of the buyout transactions, we issued to the landlord a
five-year warrant to purchase approximately 28,000 shares of our common stock at
an exercise price of $125.00 per share, exercisable beginning in
August 2005. See Note 9.
 
 As of
December 31, 2008, the total restructuring accrual of $0.8 million
consisted of the following (in millions):

  Note 9---Stockholders'
Equity
 
 Convertible
Preferred Stock
 
 As of
December 31, 2008, there were no outstanding shares of convertible
preferred stock.  Our Board of Directors and our stockholders have
authorized 1,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock that are available
for issuance.
 
 Common
Stock
 
 In
November 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement for the private placement
of the $16.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated
secured convertible notes (the "Notes") that were convertible, at the holders'
option, into common stock at a conversion price of $69 per share. The Notes bore
interest at a rate of six percent per annum, and we were originally obligated to
repay the principal amount of the initial $16.0 million of notes in 15 equal
monthly installments of $1.1 million beginning in June 2005. In November 2005,
Dr. Pehong Chen, our Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder, acquired
all Notes then outstanding. Including interest, the Notes represented $15.5
million in debt obligations as of December 15, 2005. In order to relieve us from
the liquidity challenges presented by the Notes, Dr. Chen agreed to cancel all
amounts owed under the Notes in exchange for 1,380,000 shares of BroadVision
common stock, at an effective price per share of $11.25, a 25% discount to the
December 20, 2005 closing price of BroadVision common stock, and $180,000 in
cash that represented the portion of the accrued interest on the Notes that was
not paid in stock. That exchange was completed in March 2006 and was reported as
an increase in additional paid-in capital of approximately $20.7
million.
 
 In
February 2006, we announced a subscription rights offering to existing
stockholders to sell a total of 7 million shares, or 147.5 shares for each share
of BroadVision common stock held as of the record date of December 20, 2005, at
an effective price per share of $11.25. The primary purpose of the rights
offering was to allow the holders of BroadVision common stock an opportunity to
further invest in BroadVision in order to maintain their proportionate interest
in BroadVision common stock, at the same price per share as the conversion price
afforded to Dr. Chen in the Notes conversion. Dr. Chen waived any right to
participate in the rights offering.
 
 Our
rights offering expired on November 28, 2006. Eligible participants exercised
rights to purchase approximately 1.4 million shares, resulting in $15.8 million
in net proceeds for us.  Then we reduced our total number of
authorized shares of common stock from 80,000,000 to 11,200,000 in February
2007. We deregistered the shares not sold in the rights offering and subject to
the registration statement we filed in connection with the rights
offering.
  We
effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse split of our common stock on October 24,
2008  Our common stock began trading on a post-split basis at the
opening of trading on October 27, 2008.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements and related financial information contained herein for all
periods presented have been retroactively restated to give effect to the stock
split in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  We paid cash in lieu of issuing
fractional shares, based upon the closing sales price of our stock as reported
on the OTC Bulletin Board on October 24, 2008.
 
 As of
December 31, 2008, we had reserved 233,495 common shares for future issuance
upon the exercise of stock options and warrants.
 
 Our CEO
has options to purchase 68,175 shares of common stock at a weighted average
exercise price of $965 per share. The table below is a summary of shares granted
through December 31, 2008:

  We
granted 933 shares of restricted stock to the non-employee members of our Board
of Directors in June 2007, and recorded a stock-based compensation expense of
$28,541.  We granted 2,018 shares of restricted stock to the
non-employee members of our Board of Directors in June 2008, and recorded a
stock-based compensation expense of $51,950.  These 2,018 shares of
restricted stock will vest over a one-year period measured from the date of the
annual meeting of stockholders held in June 2008, with one quarter of the shares
included in such Director Grant vesting on each of the dates that are three
months, six months, nine months and twelve months from the June 2008 annual
meeting, so long as each board member continues to serve as a member of our
board of directors on such vesting date.

 Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff
Position No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment
Arrangements("FSP"). This FSP addresses how to account for registration
payment arrangements and clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a
registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with
other generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") without regard to the
contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration
payment arrangement. This accounting pronouncement further clarifies that a
liability for liquidated damages resulting from registration payment obligations
should be recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies("SFAS No. 5"), when the payment of liquidated damages becomes probable
and can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that we have any SFAS No. 5
contingencies as of December 31, 2008 relating to our registration payment
arrangements, nor do we believe that there is a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of implementing this
FSP.

 The
warrant issued in connection with the real estate transaction has a term of five
years, and is exercisable beginning in August 2005. The warrant issued in
connection with the convertible debentures also has a term of five years and is
exercisable beginning in May 2005. Under an anti-dilution provision of the
debt warrants and as triggered by the debt to equity exchange of the Notes and
the rights offering (Note 9), the debt warrant was reissued in March 2006 and
November 2006, respectively.  All our outstanding warrants have been
retroactively restated to give effect to our reverse stock-split transaction
effective October 2008.
 
 In
accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own
Stock, the warrants have been included as a short-term liability and were
originally valued at fair value on the date of issuance. During year 2008, we
recorded credits related to the change in the fair value of warrants of
approximately $4.0 million.  During year 2007, we recorded charges
related to the change in fair value of the warrants of approximately $3.1
million. During year 2007, certain convertible debenture investors exercised
13,640 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of Company common shares for
total cash proceeds of $505,000.  During year 2006, we recorded
charges related to the change in fair value of the warrants of approximately
$1.3 million.

 During
the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, no customer accounted for
10% or more of our revenues.
 
 In 2008,
license sales through independent distributors, VARs, ASPs, and SIs became
significant.  Although it was immaterial in Americas, license sales
via these channels accounted for 32% in Europe and 42% Asia Pacific in
2008.
 
 The
following represents property and equipment and goodwill (long-lived assets) by

million, primarily due to an impairment of the goodwill balance recognized in
the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

Party Transactions
  On
November 14, 2008, BroadVision (Delaware) LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("BVD"), which was then our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a
Share Purchase Agreement with CHRM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
that is controlled by Dr. Pehong Chen, our CEO and largest
stockholder.  We and CHRM LLC then entered into an Amended and
Restated Operating Agreement of BroadVision (Delaware) LLC dated as of November
14, 2008 (the "BVD Operating Agreement"). Under these agreements, CHRM LLC
received, in exchange for the assignment of certain intellectual property
rights, 20 Class B Shares of BVD, representing the right to receive 20% of any
"net profit" from a "capital transaction" (as such terms are defined in the BVD
Operating Agreement) of BroadVision (Barbados) Limited ("BVB"), an entity wholly
owned by BVD.  A "capital transaction" under that agreement is any
merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of BVB as a result of which
the members of BVB will no longer have an interest in BVB or the assets of BVB
will be distributed to its members.
 
 In 2008,
we executed a renewal contract with a third party in which Dr. Pehong Chen, our
CEO and largest stockholder, is a board member.   The total
renewal license value $73,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $64,109 was
recognized as license revenue and  $17,835 as consulting revenue. We
have received payment of  $73,000 for the renewal contract as December
31, 2008.  We incurred $70,000 in direct costs and expenses relating
to this contract.
  In June
2007, we executed a software license agreement with a third party in which Dr.
Pehong Chen, our CEO and largest stockholder, is a board member. The total
contract value is $132,000.  We recognized $112,000 and $20,000
revenue for year 2007 and year 2008, respectively.  We have received
payment of $126,000 and $6,000 for the contract for year 2007 and year 2008,
respectively.  We incurred $50,000 in direct costs and expenses
relating to this contract.
 In 2006,
we executed a consulting agreement with a third party in which the CEO is a
passive owner and convertible note holder. The total contract value is $365,000.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized $365,000 as revenue. We
received payment for the entire contract in the third quarter of 2006. We
incurred $99,000 in costs and expenses relating to this contract.

Results of Operations (Unaudited)
 
 The
following tables set forth certain unaudited Consolidated Statement of
Operations data for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2008, as well as
that data expressed as a percentage of total revenues for the periods
indicated.
 
 This data has been derived from unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
that, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such
information when read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto.  We believe that period-to-period comparisons of
our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied
upon as an indication of future performance.

quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate
significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which
are outside of our control. It is likely that our operating results in one or
more future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock almost certainly
would decline.

  ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
  (a)
                Evaluation
      of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
  An
evaluation as of December 31, 2008 was carried out under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures," which are defined under
SEC rules as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (Exchange
Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time
periods. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of December 31, 2008.
 
 (b)
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable assurance
that the objectives of the internal control system are met.
 
 Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based
on our evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
 
 Our
independent registered public accounting firm, Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi
& Co. LLP, has audited our Consolidated Financial Statements for two years
ended December 31, 2008 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and has
issued a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2008.
 
 (c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
has evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and has concluded that
there was no change during such quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
