Overview

   eGain is a leading provider of interaction management software for the
Internet that enables companies to transform traditional customer call centers
into multi-channel contact centers. To help businesses deliver a superior
customer experience and establish profitable, long-term customer relationships,
while reducing operating and technology costs, eGain offers best-of-breed
applications that enable online customers to communicate through each of the
three primary channels for online customer interaction--email, real-time and
self-service. Built using a 100% Web-native architecture, eGain's comprehensive
eService solutions are designed to provide robust scalability, global access,
diverse integration capabilities and rapid deployment. In addition, eGain's
solution is designed to integrate with leading CRM, ERP and call center
systems, enabling customers to leverage investments in existing systems and
providing an enterprise wide solution.

   eGain offers hosted and licensed eService solutions for email management,
interactive real-time Web and voice collaboration, intelligent self-help
agents, knowledge management and proactive online marketing. This comprehensive
suite of applications helps address the needs of customers across the full
customer lifecycle.

   Since eGain's applications are built upon a common knowledge base,
information such as a customer's account history and prior interactions,
regardless of origination, can be accessed and shared across different products
and across the enterprise. eGain believes this results in a more comprehensive,
efficient and personalized customer experience.

   eGain offers a complete line of consulting, support and training services
from offices throughout the world. eGain's customers include companies such as
ABN AMRO Bank, Daimler Chrysler, McAfee.com, Nextel Communications and
Timberland.

Recent Developments

   On September 7, 2001, eGain filed a final amendment to a tender offer
statement on Schedule TO dated May 24, 2001 announcing the final results of its
offer to exchange certain eligible options outstanding under eGain's stock
option plans for new options to purchase shares of eGain common stock. The new
options will be granted on or after six months and one day after August 10,
2001, the date the tendered options were accepted and canceled. eGain
anticipates issuing new options to purchase 925,370 shares of eGain common
stock in exchange for the options surrendered in the offer to exchange.

   On August 8, 2001, the conversion price of eGain's 6.75% Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), underwent a reset
from the original conversion price of $9.2517 per share to $5.6875 per share.
The Series A Preferred Stock was issued in a private placement in August 2000,
at which time eGain also issued warrants to purchase 3,826,322 shares of common
stock at an initial exercise price of $9.2517 per share (the "Warrants"). As a
result of this adjustment of the conversion price, the currently outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into an aggregate of
16,634,598 shares of common stock as of August 8, 2001. This number of shares
includes 1,074,158 shares of common stock representing the accretion on the
Series A Preferred Stock liquidation preference from August 8, 2000 through
August 8, 2001, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the registrant's
Certificate of Designation of 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Certificate of Designation"). In addition, on August 8, 2001, the
exercise price of the Warrants underwent an adjustment such that the exercise
price of the Warrants is now $5.6875 per share. This adjustment to the exercise
price of the Warrants will not result in the issuance of additional warrants or
shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants.

Industry Background

   The Internet has fundamentally changed the manner in which businesses and
customers interact. Customers demand instant access to customer service and
expect immediate responses to questions and issues. Accordingly, successful
companies are implementing multi-channel online interaction solutions.

   In a traditional commercial setting, companies typically addressed customer
service needs by establishing telephone call centers, enabling customers to
speak with customer service representatives by phone. With the arrival of the
Internet and the rapid growth of online communication, companies are
discovering that it is increasingly necessary to supplement or transform their
traditional call centers into multi-channel contact centers capable of handling
high volumes of customer interactions across multiple channels of
communication.

   This transformation is being driven both by the lower cost of providing
online assistance as compared with telephonic assistance, and by the apparent
customer demand for such assistance. Forrester Research estimates that during
2001, as much as 25% of all customer inquiries will take place over the
Internet via email, Web form submission, or some other type of online
interaction. In addition, a recent study conducted by Purdue University
Research indicates that the number of customer contacts is expected to double
to approximately 30 billion by 2005, and that approximately 45% of these
contacts will take place online, an increase from approximately 5% currently.

   The ability to address online service requirements has become a necessity in
today's competitive business environment. Integrated multi-channel online
interaction capabilities have become a significant part of any customer service
strategy seeking to deliver a quality customer experience. Failure to address
the communication needs of customers can result in diminished customer loyalty,
increased difficulty in acquiring new customers, and a deterioration of
competitive position and brand reputation, all potentially resulting in a loss
of current and future revenue.

                                      2

   Over the past few years, numerous software vendors have developed and
marketed point solutions, or software packages designed to handle online
customer communications through a specific channel such as email, real-time Web
collaboration or self-service. However, point solutions do not meet the demands
of customers who want flexibility in how they communicate with companies based
on the nature of their inquiry. Point solutions also are difficult to integrate
with other programs, making it difficult for customer service agents to easily
reference a customer's past communications that originated from multiple
channels. Nor can they integrate easily with a company's existing legacy
systems. This lack of integration makes these applications expensive to
implement and maintain, especially for companies with significant existing call
center operations.

   For these reasons, eGain believes that providing customers with a full range
of online communications options has become a strategic imperative, and that
the demand for an integrated multi-channel interaction platform will continue
to grow accordingly.

The eGain Solution

   eGain provides software products that enable online customers and businesses
to interact through each of the three primary channels for online customer
interaction--email, real-time and self-service. These applications operate on a
shared platform that provides for common archiving, reporting and knowledge
management capabilities across these different channels. In addition, eGain's
platform is designed to integrate with leading call center systems, as well as
third party customer communications, database and ecommerce software
applications, to provide comprehensive information about each customer, thereby
permitting companies to leverage existing investments and installed systems.

   eGain's applications and platform are designed with a 100% Web-native
architecture that allows companies to leverage the unique advantages of the
Internet. All of eGain's software products can be deployed either as a licensed
application installed on servers at the customer location or a hosted
application service through the eGain Hosted Network.

   The eGain solution provides companies with the following benefits:

  .  Develop, Maintain and Enhance Profitable Long Term Customer Relationships.
     Whether a customer is asking a question, seeking a resolution to an issue
     or making a purchase, eGain's eService platform allows companies to
     greatly enhance the interaction experience for customers. Companies can
     respond rapidly and effectively to large volumes of email, communicate
     over the Web in real-time with their customers, track the history of
     individual customer interactions and allow customers to handle their own
     service needs at any time. In addition to strengthening existing customer
     relationships, eGain's products may also increase the likelihood that a
     first-time Web site visitor will become a customer. Online visitors can
     interact immediately and directly with a customer service representative
     to inquire about a specific product or issue, thereby increasing the
     likelihood that a Web site visitor will complete a purchase.

  .  Reduce Operating Costs. eGain's products assist customers and companies in
     communicating more effectively while reducing operating costs and yielding
     rapid and demonstrable return on investment. eGain's intelligent email
     routing and suggested response capabilities, tracking, workload and
     reporting features, and knowledge management system is designed to
     measurably enhance the productivity of a company's customer service
     representatives. From an online customer perspective, eGain's robust
     self-service tools, logical integrated escalation paths and sophisticated
     artificial intelligence engine empower online customers to resolve
     business issues without assistance, thereby reducing the demands on the
     customer service organization.

                                      3

  .  Reduce Technology Costs. eGain's products are designed to integrate not
     only with each other, but with data and processes residing in legacy
     systems and other enterprises data sources. By integrating with existing
     corporate systems, eGain's platform allows companies to leverage prior
     information technology investments, extend the useful lives of such
     systems and reduce the need for additional expenditures for enterprise
     applications, while transforming traditional operations into a
     multi-channel contact centers.

  .  Provide Flexible Deployment Options. eGain's products are designed to
     allow companies to deploy eGain applications either in-house at their own
     facility as installed software or in a hosted environment through the
     eGain Hosted Network. Customers using the eGain Hosted Network can take
     advantage of eGain's system expertise, thereby reducing the demands on
     their own information technology resources while receiving the full
     benefit of secure and reliable access to eGain's applications.

The eGain Strategy

   eGain's objective is to further enhance its position as a leading provider
of interaction management software for the Internet. The key elements of
eGain's strategy include:

   Enhance and Expand the Leading Integrated, Multi-Channel Interaction
Management Platform. eGain believes it is one of the few companies that provide
software to enable communication across the three primary channels of online
interaction--email, real-time and self-service. eGain has a strong track record
of extending its platform through internal development and acquisitions and
continues to invest in its research and development efforts. eGain was the
first company to expand channels of communication by integrating the email and
real-time channels. eGain was also the first company to offer self-service and
knowledge management applications integrated into a complete customer service
platform. In addition, eGain's solution integrates with leading CRM, ERP and
call center systems, enabling customers to leverage investments in existing
systems and providing an enterprise wide solution.

   Provide Demonstrable Return on Investment to Customers. Especially in these
challenging economic times, when many companies are dramatically scaling back
their investments in information technology, eGain understands that customers
will only buy enterprise class software if they are convinced that they will
experience a real return on investment ("ROI"), in both the short and long run.
A central element of eGain's strategy is the ability to provide companies with
demonstrable ROI from the purchase of eGain's software applications. Among the
factors that can provide this ROI are: increased revenues from enhanced
customer loyalty; the relatively lower cost of customer retention (as opposed
to customer acquisition) initiatives; decreased headcount and associated costs
in the call center and customer support areas; providing customers with access
to lower cost service alternatives than traditional telephone support; and
preserving and leveraging existing information technology investments by using
eGain's easily integrated products. By focusing on these and other factors,
eGain works with existing and prospective customers to establish that investing
in eGain products will prove a wise investment.

   Technology Leadership. With its flagship product, eGain Mail, eGain was the
first company to introduce a 100% Web-native solution to address the need for
online customer interaction management. Since inception, eGain has designed its
products with the specific characteristics of the Web in mind and intends to
maintain its technology leadership by building all of its products on a 100%
Web-native architecture. eGain believes that its Web-native architecture
provides true global access, improved scalability, easier integration with
existing enterprise applications and systems and lower deployment costs.

   Flexible Delivery Options. eGain believes that offering its solution on a
hosted or licensed basis provides customers with a meaningful choice of
deployment options. Customers can choose to license applications for deployment
at their facilities, or employ the eGain Hosted Network. Customers choosing to
employ the eGain Hosted Network can focus on other aspects of their business
while benefiting from the rapid deployment, 24x7 reliability and support,
scalability on demand, and lower up-front investment, that the hosting option
offers.

   Expand Global Distribution Capabilities. eGain intends to continue its
expansion of global distribution capabilities through eGain's direct sales
efforts as well as strategic relationships. eGain has aggressively expanded its
domestic and international direct sales force. eGain maintains a sales presence
in 18 countries including the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan and plans to
establish a presence in additional regions in the future. Revenue from
international operations continues to increase and with the introduction of
multi-lingual versions of its products (Asian and Western European language
capabilities) eGain intends to further penetrate international markets. In
addition to its direct sales and marketing efforts, eGain is engaged in a
number of formal and informal strategic relationships with system integrators,
consulting firms, technology partners and solutions providers.

its sales efforts at Global 2000 companies as well as dedicated ecommerce

   The direct sales force is organized into teams that include both sales
representatives and systems engineers. eGain's direct sales force is
complemented by telemarketing representatives based at headquarters in
Sunnyvale, California.

   eGain further complements its direct sales force with a series of reseller
and sales alliances. Through these alliances, eGain is able to leverage
additional sales, marketing and deployment capabilities. In the future, eGain
intends to expand its distribution capabilities by increasing the size of its
direct sales force, establishing additional sales offices both domestically and

of interaction management software for the Internet that enables companies to
transform traditional call centers into multi-channel contact centers. eGain's
marketing efforts focus on Global 2000 companies.

Strategic Relationships

   eGain believes that its strategic relationships help extend the breadth and
depth of its product offerings, drive market penetration, and augment its
professional service capabilities. eGain believes these relationships are
important to delivering successful, integrated products and services to its
customers.

   eGain has five main types of strategic relationships: consulting alliances,
technology alliances, solution provider alliances, outsourcing alliances and
global distribution alliances.

  .  Consulting Alliances. eGain works with consulting firms and systems
     integrators with proven implementation expertise and training in eGain's
     technology platform. Firms such as eFortify and eLoyalty assist eGain
     customers in addressing their online business needs with strategy, design,
     implementation and integration services.

  .  Technology Alliances. eGain has a number of technology partnerships with
     companies that are leaders and innovators in the areas of content
     management, sales force automation, call center technology, analytics, and
     information technology hardware. These companies provide scalable
     platforms on which eGain products are built, as well as solutions that
     interoperate with and add value to eGain's proprietary solutions. eGain's
     current technology partners include Actuate Corp., Aspect Communications,
     BEA Systems, Inc., BroadVision, Business Objects, Oracle, Seibel Systems,
     Inc. and Vignette.

  .  Solution Provider Alliances. eGain solution provider partners include
     leading application service providers (ASPs) and value-added resellers
     (VARs). These partners resell and implement eGain products, and provide
     front-line support to their customers. Solution alliances include a
     partnership with Ineto, Inc.

  .  Outsourcing Alliances. eGain outsourcing partners are premier call center
     providers and service bureaus, providing the human capital required for a
     complete ecommerce service solution. Outsourcing alliances utilize the
     eGain platform to provide services such as customer care, Web
     collaboration, technical support, fulfillment services and direct
     marketing services to customers. Outsourcing alliances include

Competition

   The market for online interaction management software is relatively new,
rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. eGain currently competes with a
number of companies offering one or more products, some of which compete
directly with eGain's products, and expects the level of competition to
intensify in the future. Competitors providing point solutions that compete
with eGain's software products include Ask Jeeves, Inc., Avaya, Inc. (which
recently acquired the assets of Quintus Corp.), E.piphany, Inc., Kana Software,
Inc. (the combination of the former Kana Communications, Inc. and Broadbase
Software), Primus Knowledge Solutions, Inc., and Serviceware.

   eGain may also face potential competition from larger, front office software
providers such as Clarify, Inc. (a subsidiary of Nortel Networks), Onyx
Software Corporation, Peoplesoft, Inc., and Siebel Systems, Inc. In the future
eGain may also encounter competition from established companies such as
Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP,
Inc., and others that may seek to enter the market for online customer
communications solutions.

   eGain believes that the principal competitive factors influencing its market
include technology, product features, product quality and performance
(including scalability, reliability, functionality and security), ability to
integrate with legacy and third party systems, price, quality of service and
support, speed of implementation/deployment and brand reputation. eGain
believes that its products compete favorably with respect to these factors.

                                      9

<PAGE>

   Some of eGain's current competitors have, and future competitors may have,
longer operating histories, larger customer bases, stronger brand recognition
and significantly greater financial, sales, marketing, technical and other
resources. Some of eGain's current and future competitors may be able to devote
greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive
pricing policies or devote substantially greater resources to product
development. It is possible that new competitors, or alliances among existing
competitors, may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. eGain
also believes that competition will continue to intensify as a result of
ongoing industry consolidation.

Product Development

   The market for eGain's products changes rapidly and is characterized by
evolving industry standards, swift changes in customer requirements and
frequent new product introductions and enhancements. eGain believes that strong
product development capabilities are essential to its strategy of maintaining
technology leadership. This includes enhancing current technology, providing
excellent quality, performance, and functionality, as well as developing
additional applications and maintaining the competitiveness of eGain's product
and service offerings. eGain has invested significant time and resources to
create a structured process for undertaking all product development. This
process involves several functional groups at all levels within eGain's
organization and is designed to provide a framework for defining and addressing
the activities required in bringing product concepts and development projects
to market successfully.

   In addition, eGain continuously analyzes market and customer requirements
and evaluates technology that eGain believes will enhance platform acceptance
in the market. eGain selectively chooses partners with superior technology to
enhance features and functionality of its product offerings.

   In May 2001, eGain completed the acquisition of eGain Communications Pvt.
Ltd., a software development company located in Pune, India. eGain employs over
110 full-time employees in this India-based office, of whom approximately 76
are software developers.

   As of June 30, 2001, there were approximately 196 employees engaged in
worldwide product development activities.

Intellectual Property

   eGain regards its copyrights, service marks, trademarks and similar
intellectual property as critical to its success. eGain relies on patent,
trademark, copyright, trade secret and other laws, as well as confidentiality
procedures and licensing arrangements, to protect the proprietary aspects of
its technology and business. eGain has a patent pending for its WorkEverywhere
technology that matches customers' browsing platform with appropriate real-time
interaction method. eGain also has several United States and international
trademark applications pending.

   eGain is continually assessing the propriety of seeking patent and other
intellectual property protections for those aspects of eGain's technology that
it believes constitute innovations providing significant competitive
advantages. Pending and future applications may or may not receive the issuance
of valid patents and trademarks.

                                      10

<PAGE>

   eGain routinely requires its employees, customers, and potential business
partners to enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements before
eGain will disclose any sensitive aspects of its products, technology, or
business plans. In addition, eGain requires employees to agree to surrender to
eGain any proprietary information, inventions or other intellectual property
they generate or come to possess while employed by eGain. Despite eGain's
efforts to protect its proprietary rights through confidentiality and license
agreements, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and
use eGain's products or technology. These precautions may not prevent
misappropriation or infringement of eGain's intellectual property. In addition,
some of eGain's license agreements with certain customers and partners require
eGain to place the source code for its products into escrow. These agreements
typically provide that some party will have a limited, non-exclusive right to
access and use this code as authorized by the license agreement if there is a
bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against eGain, or if eGain materially
breaches a contractual commitment to provide support and maintenance the party.

   Third parties may infringe or misappropriate eGain's copyrights, trademarks
and similar proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may assert
infringement claims against eGain. eGain's products may infringe issued patents
that may relate to its products. In addition, because patent applications in
the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued,
applications may have been filed which relate to eGain's software products.
eGain may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the
ordinary course of its business, including claims of alleged infringement of
the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.
Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and could
divert management's attention away from running eGain's business. This
litigation could also require eGain to develop non-infringing technology or
enter into royalty or license agreements. These royalty or license agreements,
if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, in the event
of a successful claim of infringement. eGain's failure or inability to develop
non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis
would harm its business.

Employees

   As of June 30, 2001, eGain had 595 full-time employees, of which 155 were in
services and support, 196 in product development, 156 in sales and marketing
and 88 in finance and administration. None of eGain's employees is covered by
collective bargaining agreements. While eGain believes its relations with its
employees are good, eGain's future performance depends in large part upon the
continued service of its key technical, sales and marketing, and senior
management personnel, none of which are bound by employment agreements
requiring service for a defined period of time. The loss of services of one or
more of eGain's key employees could have a material adverse effect on its
business.

   eGain may not be successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified
personnel, and the failure to do so, particularly in key functional areas such
as product development and sales, could materially and adversely affect eGain's
business, results of operations and financial condition. Competition for such
personnel in the computer software industry is intense, and in the past eGain
has experienced difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel, especially
developers and sales personnel. eGain's future success will likely depend in
large part on its ability to attract and retain experienced sales, technical,
marketing and management personnel. eGain expects competition for qualified
personnel to remain intense, and it may not succeed in attracting or retaining
such personnel.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

   eGain leases all facilities used in its business. The following table
summarizes eGain's principal properties.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Slough, England........... European Headquarters      14,500          2002
</TABLE>

   eGain believes its facilities are suitable for its uses and are generally
adequate to support the current level of operations for the next 12 months.
eGain may not be able to obtain lease extensions or replacement space for all
of its leased facilities upon the expiration of the current lease terms, at
rates not materially higher than those currently in effect. The demand for real
estate, while easing slightly, remains competitive in the San Francisco Bay
area due to the large number of companies in the region. eGain's inability to
obtain acceptable facilities to support its current and planned level of
operations could harm its business.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   eGain is not a party to any material pending legal proceeding, nor is its
property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding, except routine
legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business and incidental
to its business, none of which are expected to have a material adverse impact
upon its business, financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

   None.

Overview

   eGain is a leading provider of interaction management software for the
Internet that enables companies to transform traditional customer call centers
into multi-channel contact centers. To help businesses deliver a superior
customer experience and establish profitable, long-term customer relationships,
while reducing operating and technology costs, eGain offers best-of-breed
applications that enable online customers to communicate through each of the
three primary channels for online customer interaction--email, real-time and
self-service. Built using a 100% Web-native architecture, eGain's comprehensive
eService solutions are designed to provide robust scalability, global access,
diverse integration capabilities and rapid deployment. In addition, eGain's
solution is designed to integrate with leading CRM, ERP and call center
systems, enabling customers to leverage investments in existing systems and
providing an enterprise wide solution.

   eGain was founded in September 1997. From inception to September 1998,
eGain's operating activities related primarily to planning and developing its
proprietary technological solutions, recruiting personnel, raising capital and
purchasing operating assets. In September 1998, eGain commenced commercial
shipment of eGain Mail, and established the eGain Hosted Network. To date,
eGain has developed and released several versions of its product suite. eGain
markets and sells its products worldwide primarily through its direct sales
force but also through third-party providers.

   On April 30, 1999, eGain acquired Sitebridge Corporation and added its
real-time Web collaboration product to eGain's platform. The product, eGain
Live, is an application that allows ecommerce companies to interact in
real-time with visitors to their Web sites. eGain acquired Sitebridge in
exchange for common stock and the transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

   On March 7, 2000, eGain acquired Big Science Company and added its
Web-native self-service product to eGain's platform. The resulting product,
eGain Assistant, enables personalized customer assistance on Web sites through
virtual service agents. Customers interact in natural language dialogue with a
life-like character, which answers questions and leads customers through
problem resolution and sales situations. eGain acquired Big Science in exchange
for common stock and cash and the transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

<PAGE>

   On June 29, 2000, eGain acquired Inference Corporation in exchange for its
common stock and assumption of outstanding options to purchase Inference common
stock. The acquisition brought together eGain's strength in Web-native,
multi-channel customer communications with Inference's powerful customer
profiling and contact center support capabilities. It also significantly
expanded eGain's European business and add critical new product and technology
components to the eGain platform. The merger was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

   In April 2001, eGain obtained final regulatory approval from the government
of India to complete the acquisition of eGain Communications Private Limited
("eGain India"), formerly Nitman Software Private Limited, an ecommerce
software development company located in Pune, India. Effective April 23, 2001,
eGain acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of eGain India for cash.
eGain believes the acquisition will enhance its product development, licensed
customer support, information technology and hosted business services
capabilities. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

   eGain intends to continue to make investments in product development and
technology to enhance its current products and services, develop new products
and services and further advance its solution offerings. In addition, eGain has
incurred significant losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit
of $183.3 million as of June 30, 2001. eGain has not achieved profitability on
a quarterly or annual basis. In view of the rapidly evolving nature of its
business and limited operating history, eGain believes that period to period
comparisons of its revenue and operating results may not be meaningful and
should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

Results of Operations

   The following table sets forth certain items reflected in eGain's
consolidated statements of operations expressed as a percent of total revenues
for the periods indicated.

Revenue

   eGain recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2"), as amended. Under SOP 97-2, revenue
from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement
exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant eGain obligations
remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
License revenue in multiple element contracts is recognized using the residual
method when there is vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of
all undelivered elements in an arrangement but vendor specific objective
evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements
in an arrangement. Under the residual method, the total fair value of the
undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor specific objective evidence, is
deferred and the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the
delivered elements. If sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence does not
exist for undelivered elements in an arrangement, all revenue from the
arrangement is deferred until the earlier of the point at which (a) such
sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence does exist or (b) all elements of
the arrangement have been delivered.

   Revenue from hosting services is recognized ratably over the period of the
agreement as services are provided. Hosting agreements are typically for a
period of one year and automatically renew unless either party cancels the
agreement.

   Service revenue is primarily derived from consulting fees, maintenance
agreements, and training. Service revenue from consulting and training billed
on a time and materials basis is recognized as performed. Service revenue on
fixed price service arrangements is recognized upon completion of specific
contractual milestone events or based on an estimated percentage of completion
as work progresses. Maintenance agreements include the right to software
updates on an if-and-when-available basis. Maintenance revenue is deferred and
recognized on a straight-line basis as service revenue over the life of the
related agreement, which is typically one year.

   In all cases, eGain assesses whether the service element of the arrangement
is essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement. In
this determination, eGain focuses on whether the services include significant
alterations to the features and functionality of the software, whether the
services involve the building of complex interfaces, the timing of payments and
the existence of milestones. In making this determination, eGain considers the
following: (1) the relative fair value of the services compared to the
software, (2) the amount of time and effort subsequent to delivery of the
software until the interfaces or other modifications are completed, (3) the
degree of technical difficulty in building the interfaces or other
modifications, and (4) any contractual cancellation, acceptance, or termination
provisions for failure to complete the interfaces. In those instances where
eGain determines that the service elements are essential to the other elements
of the arrangement, eGain accounts for the entire arrangement in accordance
with Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 45, "Long-Term Construction-Type
Contracts," using the relevant guidance from SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1, "Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts."

   Total revenue increased to $53.4 million in fiscal 2001 from $13.4 million
in fiscal 2000 and $1.0 in fiscal 1999. The increase in each period was
primarily attributable to increases in eGain's customer base, the average size
of new customer orders and follow-on orders from existing customers. Factors
that contributed to these increases primarily included expanded direct sales
and marketing efforts, the introduction of new products and increased market
acceptance of eGain's products. A significant portion of the increase in
revenue for fiscal 2001 was due to the acquisition of Inference Corporation on
June 29, 2000 and the inclusion of its revenue from the effective date of the
merger. In fiscal 2001 and 2000, no single customer accounted for more than 10%
of total revenue, while in fiscal 1999, two customers accounted for
approximately 26% of total revenue. Although total revenue has increased from
prior periods, eGain cannot be certain that it will continue to grow in future
periods or that it will grow at similar rates experienced in the past.

                                      17

<PAGE>

   Hosting revenue increased to $10.5 million in fiscal 2001 from $3.5 in
fiscal 2000 and $137,000 in fiscal 1999. The increase in each period was
attributable to an increase in the number of eGain's hosted customers. Hosting
revenue represented 20%, 26% and 14% of total revenue for fiscal 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

   License revenue increased to $24.3 million in fiscal 2001 from $5.1 million
in fiscal 2000 and $473,000 in fiscal 1999. The increase in each period was
primarily due to increases in unit sales volumes and the average size of new
customer orders. License revenue represented 45%, 38% and 46% of total revenue
for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

   Services revenue increased to $18.6 million in fiscal 2001 from $4.8 million
in fiscal 2000 and $409,000 in the fiscal 1999. The increase in each period was
primarily attributable to an increase in software license sales, resulting in
increased revenue from customer implementations, system integration projects
and maintenance contracts. Services revenue represented 35%, 36% and 40% for
fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Cost of Revenue--Direct

   Cost of revenue--direct includes personnel costs for eGain's hosting
services, consulting services and customer support. It also includes
depreciation of capital equipment used in eGain's hosted network, cost of
third-party software royalties and lease costs paid to remote co-location
centers. Cost of revenue--direct increased to $29.4 million in fiscal 2001 from
$14.6 million in fiscal 2000 and $1.8 million in fiscal 1999, representing 55%,
109% and 174% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars
in each period was primarily due to the rapid expansion of eGain's hosting,
services and support organizations. In addition, during fiscal 2001 there was a
significant increase in royalties paid to third-party vendors for technology
embedded in eGain's product offerings. Cost of revenue--direct decreased as a
percentage of total revenue in each period primarily because significant
revenue growth outpaced increases in costs of revenue. The overall improvement
in gross profit margin in each period was principally due to increases in the
average selling price of eGain's products and services, as well as increased
leverage from the productivity of support, training, consulting and
implementation activities. eGain anticipates that costs of revenue in absolute
dollars will be relatively stable in future periods.

Cost of Revenue--Acquisition Related

   Cost of revenue--acquisition related costs of $1.4 million and $103,000 in
fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively, consisted of amortization of
developed technology resulting from eGain's business combinations in fiscal
2000.

Research and Development

   Research and development expenses primarily consist of compensation and
benefits for eGain's engineering, product management and quality assurance
personnel and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead.
Research and development expenses increased to $22.9 million in fiscal 2001
from $11.8 million in fiscal 2000 and $2.1 million in fiscal 1999, representing
43%, 88% and 206% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in absolute
dollars in each period was primarily attributable to significant growth in the
research and development organization associated with the enhancement of
existing products and the development of new products. Research and development
expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased in each period primarily
because significant revenue growth outpaced increases in research and
development expenses. eGain anticipates that research and development expenses
in absolute dollars will be relatively stable in future periods.

                                      18

<PAGE>

Sales and Marketing

   Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits
for eGain's sales, marketing and business development personnel, advertising,
trade show and other promotional costs and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs
and related overhead. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $47.0 million
in fiscal 2001 from $27.9 million in fiscal 2000 and $4.2 million in fiscal
1999, representing 88%, 208% and 410% of total revenue, respectively. The
increase in absolute dollars in each period was mainly due to increased
spending on marketing programs, a significant increase in personnel to enhance
eGain's sales and marketing efforts, as well as increased sales commissions
resulting from an increase in software license sales. Sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased in each period primarily
because significant revenue growth outpaced increases in sales and marketing
expenses. eGain anticipates that sales and marketing expenses in absolute
dollars will be relatively stable in future periods.

General and Administrative

   General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and
benefits for eGain's finance, human resources, administrative and legal
services personnel, fees for outside professional services, provision for
doubtul accounts and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead.
General and administrative expenses increased to $16.4 million in fiscal 2001
from $7.2 million in fiscal 2000 and $1.2 million in fiscal 1999, representing
30%, 54% and 121% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in absolute
dollars in each period was primarily attributable to increased personnel to
manage and support the growth of eGain's business, in addition to an increase
in legal and other outside professional services fees. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased in each
period primarily because significant revenue growth outpaced increases in
general and administrative expenses. eGain anticipates that general and
administrative expenses in absolute dollars will be relatively stable in future
periods.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

   Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized using the
straight-line method. The amounts allocated to goodwill, customer base,
acquired technology, workforce and trademark are being amortized over the
assets' estimated useful lives, which range from three to four years.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets was $36.8 million, $10.9
million and $1.2 million in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Amortization of intangible assets principally relates to goodwill acquired in
connection with eGain's acquisitions of Inference Corporation, Big Science
Company and Sitebridge Corporation.

Amortization of Deferred Compensation

   Deferred compensation is recorded in connection with grants of stock options
to employees on the date of grant when the deemed fair value of the underlying
common stock exceeds the exercise price for stock options. Deferred
compensation is amortized on a graded vesting method over the vesting period of
the individual grants. In addition, eGain records compensation expense in
connection with grants of stock options to non-employees pursuant to "Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). These grants are periodically revalued as they vest
in accordance with SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments
That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services." eGain recorded amortization of deferred
compensation of $3.3 million, $10.6 million and $1.8 million in fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

                                      19

<PAGE>

Restructuring

   During fiscal 2001, eGain recorded restructuring charges totaling $1.4
million. These charges primarily related to a reduction in eGain's worldwide
workforce of 141 employees across all departments and office closures in North
America pursuant to the adoption of eGain's expense management strategy. The
total charges were primarily comprised of $917,000 related to severance costs,
$263,000 related to office closure costs and $263,000 related to legal and
professional costs associated with the employee terminations. Of the total
charges, $220,000, which was primarily related to legal and professional costs,
remained unpaid as of June 30, 2001.

   During fiscal 2000, eGain incurred $71,000 of restructuring charges related
to the acquisition of Inference, all of which was paid as of June 30, 2001.
eGain abandoned plans to occupy new office space in the United Kingdom and
expensed professional services fees incurred in the design phase of the office
space.

Interest Income

   Interest income consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments. Interest income increased to $3.4 million in fiscal
2001 from $2.0 million in fiscal 2000 and $111,000 in fiscal 1999. The increase
in interest income in fiscal 2001 was primarily attributable to an increase in
eGain's average cash balance during fiscal 2001 as a result of eGain's private
placement of convertible preferred stock on August 8, 2000, which generated net
proceeds of $82.6 million. The increase in interest income in fiscal 2000 was
primarily due to a significant increase in eGain's average cash balance during
fiscal 2000 as a result of its initial public offering in September 1999, which
generated net proceeds of $63.0 million.

Interest and Other Expenses

   Interest and other expenses increased to $845,000 in fiscal 2001 from
$762,000 in fiscal 2000 and $116,000 in fiscal 1999. The increase in fiscal
2001 was principally due to an increase in interest expense resulting from
increased bank borrowings and losses on the disposal of property and equipment.
The increase was partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange losses. The
increase in fiscal 2000 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense
resulting from the acquisition of capital leases and an increase in borrowings.
In addition, eGain experienced an increase in state taxes and foreign currency
transaction losses.

New Accounting Pronouncements

   During fiscal year 2001, eGain adopted Statement of Financial Reporting
Standards No. 133, ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." SFAS 133, as amended, requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Change in the
fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designed as part of
a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction. The adoption of
SFAS 133, as amended, did not have an impact on eGain's financial position or
results of operations, as eGain does not hold derivative instruments or engage
in hedging activities.

   In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." eGain adopted the guidance in SAB 101 during its fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2001. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on
eGain's results of operations or financial position.

   On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), "Business Combinations",
and No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

                                      20

<PAGE>

   SFAS 141 supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations", and
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations, thus requiring all business combinations be accounted for using
the purchase method. In addition, in applying the purchase method, SFAS 141
changes the criteria for recognizing intangible assets apart from goodwill and
states the following criteria should be considered in determining the
recognition of the intangible assets: (1) the intangible asset arises from
contractual or other legal rights, or (2) the intangible asset is separable or
dividable from the acquired entity and capable of being sold, transferred,
licensed, rented, or exchanged. The requirements of SFAS 141 are effective for
all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.

   SFAS 142 supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets", and requires
goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life to no
longer be amortized; however, these assets must be reviewed at least annually
for impairment. Application of SFAS 142 is required immediately for business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001; however, for transactions completed
prior to July 1, 2001, eGain may elect to adopt SFAS 142 effective either July
1, 2001 or July 1, 2002. This election must be made prior to the issuance of
its financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2001. Due to the
complexity of this new standard and its recent issuance, eGain is continuing to
evaluate whether it will adopt SFAS 142 effective July 1, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Prior to eGain's initial public offering, eGain financed operations
primarily through the private placement of convertible preferred stock, a bank
line of credit, and financing for capital purchases. On September 28, 1999,
eGain completed an initial public offering of common stock, in which 5.8
million shares of common stock were sold (including the exercise of an
over-allotment option in October 1999), at a price of $12.00 per share. Net
proceeds from the offering were $63.0 million.

   On August 8, 2000, eGain raised net proceeds of $82.6 million through the
issuance of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase approximately
3.8 million shares of common stock in a private placement. The convertible
preferred stock liquidation value accretes at 6.75% per annum. eGain is using
the net proceeds from this private placement for general corporate purposes.

   At June 30, 2001, eGain had cash and cash equivalents of $42.6 million, an
increase of $15.4 million since June 30, 2000. Working capital at June 30, 2001
was $37.8 million, an increase of $25.9 million since June 30, 2000. In fiscal
2001, eGain regularly invested excess funds in short-term money market funds
and commercial paper.

   Net cash used in operating activities was $70.7 million, $38.6 million and
$7.8 million in the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of net losses
experienced during these periods as eGain invested in the development of its
products, expansion of its sales and marketing efforts and the expansion of its
infrastructure to support its rapid growth. The net losses in each period were
partially offset by an increase in non-cash charges.

   Net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million, $4.4 million and
$1.2 million in the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities in each period was primarily due to the
purchases of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities in
fiscal 2001 was also partially offset by proceeds from the sale of short-term
securities. In addition, cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2000 was
affected by net purchases of short-term securities, offset by cash assumed in
the acquisition of Inference Corporation.

   Net cash provided by financing activities was $88.6 million, $68.9 million
and $6.4 million in the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities in each of the periods was primarily due
to the issuance of preferred stock and common stock, including net proceeds of
$82.6 million generated by the private placement on August 8, 2000 and $63.0
million from the initial public offering on September 28, 1999.

   eGain intends to continue to make investments in product development and
technology to enhance its current products and services, develop new products
and services and further advance its solution offerings. eGain believes that
its existing capital resources will enable it to maintain its current and
planned operations for the next 12 months.

Quarterly Results of Operations

   The following tables set forth certain unaudited consolidated statement of
operations data for the eight quarters ended June 30, 2001. 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 elsewhere herein
on this Form 10-K. eGain believes that period-to-period comparisons of its
financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon
as an indication of future performance.

                    FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

eGain expects continuing losses and may never achieve profitability, which in
turn may harm its future operating performance and may cause the market price
of eGain common stock to decline

   eGain incurred a net loss of $102.7 million for the year ended June 30,
2001. As of June 30, 2001, eGain had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$183.3 million. eGain does not know when or if it will become profitable. If
eGain does not become profitable within the timeframe expected by financial
analysts or investors, the market price of eGain common stock may decline. If
eGain does achieve profitability, it may not be able to sustain or increase
profitability in the future.

eGain's revenue and operating expenses may fluctuate as eGain builds its
business, and this increase may harm its operating results and financial
condition

   eGain has spent heavily on technology and infrastructure development. eGain
expects to continue to spend substantial financial and other resources on
developing and introducing product and service offerings. Accordingly, if
eGain's revenue does not correspondingly increase, its business and operating
results could suffer.

   eGain was incorporated in September 1997 and shipped its first product in
September 1998. Because of this limited operating history and other factors,
eGain's quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict. In
addition, due to the emerging nature of the online customer communications
market and other factors, eGain's revenue and operating results may fluctuate
from quarter to quarter. It is possible that eGain's operating results in some
quarters will be below the expectations of financial analysts or investors. In
this event, the market price of eGain common stock is likely to decline.

   A number of factors are likely to cause fluctuations in eGain's operating
results, including, but not limited to, the following:

  .  the growth rate of ecommerce;

  .  demand for online customer communications applications;

  .  eGain's ability to attract and retain customers and maintain customer
     satisfaction;

  .  eGain's ability to upgrade, develop and maintain its systems and
     infrastructure;

  .  eGain's ability to develop new products and services;

  .  the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating
     to expansion of eGain's business and infrastructure;

  .  technical difficulties or system outages;

  .  eGain's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel with software
     and Internet industry expertise, particularly sales and marketing
     personnel;

  .  the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products and services
     by eGain's competitors;

  .  changes in eGain's pricing policies and those of its competitors;

  .  litigation relating to proprietary rights;

  .  seasonal trends in technology purchases;

                                      23

<PAGE>

  .  timing of large contracts;

  .  changes in market conditions limiting eGain's ability to raise capital;

  .  general business conditions in the industry;

  .  failure to increase eGain's international sales; and

  .  governmental regulation regarding the Internet and ecommerce in
     particular.

   eGain bases its expense levels in part on its expectations regarding future
revenue levels. In the short term, eGain's expenses are generally fixed and if
eGain's revenue for a particular quarter is lower than it expects, it may be
unable to proportionately reduce its operating expenses for that quarter. For
example, eGain's hosting agreements are typically for a period of one year and
automatically renew unless terminated by either party with 30 days' prior
notice. In addition, some of eGain's hosting agreements give the customer the
right to terminate the contract at any time. Period-to-period comparisons of
eGain's operating results may not be a good indication of its future
performance.

   Like all companies, eGain's business is linked to the health of the U.S. and
international economies. Economic growth has slowed significantly, and some
analysts believe the U.S. economy will experience a recession. The recent
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. may also have an adverse
effect on eGain's orders and revenue.

eGain must compete successfully in its market segment

   The market for online customer interaction management software is relatively
new, growing rapidly, and intensely competitive. There are no substantial
barriers to entry in this market, and established or new entities may enter
this market in the near future. eGain competes with companies that develop and
maintain internally developed customer interaction management applications.
eGain also competes directly with companies that provide licensed software
products to assist in handling customer interactions, including AskJeeves,
Inc., Avaya, Inc., (which recently acquired the assets of Quintus Corp.),
E.Piphany, Inc., Kana Software, Inc., (the combination of the former Kana
Communications, Inc. and Broadbase Software), Primus Knowledge Solutions, Inc.,
and Serviceware. In addition, some of eGain's competitors who currently offer
licensed software products are now beginning to offer hosted approaches. eGain
also faces actual or potential competition from larger, front office software
companies such as Clarify, Inc. (a subsidiary of Nortel Networks Corp.), Onyx
Software Corporation, PeopleSoft, Inc. and Siebel Systems, Inc. Furthermore,
established enterprise software companies, including Hewlett-Packard Company,
IBM, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP, Inc., and similar
companies, may seek to leverage their existing relationships and capabilities
to offer online customer interaction management solutions.

eGain's business is premised on a novel business model that is largely untested

   eGain's business is premised on novel business assumptions that are largely
untested. Customer communications historically have been conducted primarily in
person or over the telephone. eGain's business model assumes that companies
engaged in ecommerce will continue to elect to communicate with customers
mainly through the Internet rather than by telephone. eGain's business model
also assumes that many companies recognize the benefits of a hosted delivery
model and will seek to have their customer communications applications hosted
by eGain. If any of these assumptions is incorrect, eGain's business will be
seriously harmed.

                                      24

<PAGE>

eGain may engage in future acquisitions or investments that could dilute
eGain's existing stockholders, cause eGain to incur significant expenses or
harm its business

   eGain may review acquisition or investment prospects that might complement
its current business or enhance its technological capabilities. Integrating any
newly acquired businesses or their technologies or products may be expensive
and time-consuming. For example, eGain acquired eGain Communications Pvt. Ltd.
("eGain India"), an ecommerce software development company in India, in April
2001. There can be no assurance that eGain can effectively integrate eGain
India's operations with those of eGain's. To finance any acquisitions, it may
be necessary for eGain to raise additional funds through public or private
financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable
to eGain, if at all, and, in the case of equity financings, may result in
dilution to eGain's existing stockholders. eGain may not be able to operate
acquired businesses profitably or otherwise implement its growth strategy
successfully. If eGain is unable to integrate newly acquired entities or
technologies effectively, eGain's operating results could suffer. Future
acquisitions by eGain could also result in large and immediate write-offs,
incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, or amortization of expenses
related to goodwill and other intangibles, any of which could harm eGain's
operating results.

eGain could incur additional non-cash charges associated with stock-based
compensation arrangements

   eGain's operating results may be impacted if it incurs significant non-cash
charges associated with stock-based compensation arrangements with employees
and non-employees. eGain has issued options to non-employees which are subject
to various vesting schedules of up to 48 months. For deferred compensation
purposes, non-employee options are required to be remeasured at each vesting
date, which may require eGain to record additional non-cash accounting
expenses. These expenses may result in eGain incurring net losses or increased
net losses for a given period, and this could seriously harm eGain's operating
results and common stock price.

If eGain fails to expand its sales activities, it may be unable to expand its
business

   If eGain does not successfully expand its sales activities, eGain may not be
able to expand its business, and eGain's common stock price could decline. The
complexity of eGain's ecommerce customer communications platform and related
products and services requires it to have highly trained sales personnel to
educate prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of eGain's
services, and provide effective customer support. With eGain's relatively brief
operating history and its plans for continued growth, eGain has considerable
need to recruit, train, and retain qualified sales staff. Any delays or
difficulties eGain encounters in these staffing efforts could impair its
ability to attract new customers and to enhance its relationships with existing
customers. This in turn would adversely affect the timing and extent of eGain's
revenue. Because many of eGain's current sales personnel have recently joined
eGain and have limited experience working together, eGain's sales organization
may not be able to compete successfully against bigger and more experienced
organizations of its competitors.

eGain must recruit and retain its key employees to expand its business

   eGain's success will depend on the skills, experience and performance of
eGain's senior management, engineering, sales, marketing and other key
personnel, many of whom have worked together for only a short period of time.
The loss of the services of any of eGain's senior management or other key
personnel, including eGain's Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Ashutosh
Roy, and eGain's President and co-founder, Gunjan Sinha, could harm its
business. eGain does not have employment agreements with, or life insurance
policies on,

                                      25

<PAGE>

most of its key employees. Most of these employees may terminate their
employment with eGain at any time. eGain's success also will depend on its
ability to recruit, retain and motivate other highly skilled engineering,
sales, marketing and other personnel. Competition for these personnel is
intense, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, and eGain has had difficulty
hiring employees in its desired timeframes. In particular, eGain may be unable
to hire a sufficient number of qualified software engineers. If eGain fails to
retain and recruit necessary engineering, sales and marketing, customer support
or other personnel, eGain's business and its ability to develop new products
and services and to provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer.
In addition, companies in the software industry whose employees accept
positions with competitors frequently claim that competitors have engaged in
unfair hiring practices. eGain could incur substantial costs in defending
itself against any of these claims, regardless of the merits of such claims.

eGain's failure to expand third-party distribution channels would impede its
revenue growth

   To increase its revenue, eGain must increase the number of its marketing and
distribution partners, including software and hardware vendors and resellers.
eGain's existing or future marketing and distribution partners may choose to
devote greater resources to marketing and supporting the products of
competitors which could also harm eGain. eGain's failure to expand third-party
distribution channels would impede its revenue growth.

   Similarly, to increase its revenue and implementation capabilities, eGain
must develop and expand relationships with systems integrators. eGain relies on
systems integrators to recommend eGain's products to their customers and to
install and support eGain's products for their customers. Systems integrators
may develop, market or recommend software applications that compete with
eGain's products. Moreover, if these firms fail to implement eGain's products
successfully for their customers, eGain may not have the resources to implement
its products on the schedule required by its customers.

Unknown software defects could disrupt eGain's products and services, which
could harm eGain's business and reputation

   eGain's product and service offerings depend on complex software, both
internally developed and licensed from third parties. Complex software often
contains defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions are
released. eGain may not discover software defects that affect its new or
current services or enhancements until after they are deployed. It is possible
that, despite testing by eGain, defects may occur in the software. These
defects could result in damage to eGain's reputation, lost sales, product
liability claims, delays in or loss of market acceptance of eGain's products,
product returns and unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to remedy
errors.

eGain may face liability associated with its management of sensitive customer
information

   eGain's applications manage sensitive customer information, and eGain may be
subject to claims associated with invasion of privacy or inappropriate
disclosure, use or loss of this information. Any imposition of liability,
particularly liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of
insurance coverage, could harm eGain's reputation and its business and
operating results.

If eGain's system security is breached, eGain's business and reputation could
suffer

   A fundamental requirement for online communications and transactions is the
secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Third
parties may attempt to breach eGain's security or that of

                                      26

<PAGE>

eGain's customers. eGain may be liable to its customers for any breach in its
security and any breach could harm its business and reputation. Although eGain
has implemented network security measures, eGain's servers are vulnerable to
computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions,
which could lead to interruptions, delays or loss of data. eGain may be
required to expend significant capital and other resources to license
encryption technology and additional technologies to protect against security
breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breach.

Due to the lengthy sales cycles of some of eGain's products, the timing of its
sales is difficult to predict and may cause eGain to miss its revenue
expectations

   eGain's sales cycle for its products can be six months or more, and varies
substantially from customer to customer. While eGain's potential customers are
evaluating eGain's products before executing definitive agreements, eGain may
incur substantial expenses and spend significant management effort in
connection with the potential customer. eGain's multi-product offering and the
increasingly complex needs of its customers may make it more difficult for
eGain to forecast when eGain may recognize the corresponding revenue. In
addition, the recent economic slowdown in North America may cause potential
customers to delay or cancel major information technology purchasing decisions.
If this slowdown continues, eGain's average sales cycle could increase and, in
some cases, prevent deals from closing that eGain has been forecasting as
likely to close. Consequently eGain may not meet its revenue forecast and may
incur significant expenses that are not offset by corresponding revenue.

If eGain does not successfully address the risks inherent in the expansion of
its international operations, its business could suffer

   eGain intends to continue to expand into international markets and to spend
significant financial and managerial resources to do so. For example, eGain has
established subsidiaries in Europe, Asia Pacific and India. If eGain's revenue
from international operations does not exceed the expense associated with
establishing and maintaining these operations, eGain's business and operating
results will suffer. eGain has limited experience in international operations
and may not be able to compete effectively in international markets. eGain
faces various risks inherent in conducting business internationally, such as
the following:

  .  unexpected changes in international regulatory requirements;

  .  difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

  .  differing technology standards;

  .  difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection
     periods;

  .  political and economic instability;

  .  fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

  .  imposition of currency exchange controls;

  .  potentially adverse tax consequences;

  .  reduced protection for intellectual property rights in foreign countries;
     and

  .  general business conditions.

                                      27

eGain's recent growth has placed a strain on its resources and if eGain fails
to manage its future growth, its business could suffer

   eGain has expanded its operations rapidly. The completed acquisitions of
Inference, Big Science and eGain India are three examples of this expansion.
This rapid expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a
significant strain on eGain's managerial, operational and financial resources.
To manage further growth, eGain will need to improve or replace its existing
operational, customer support and financial systems, procedures and controls.
Any failure by eGain to properly manage these system and procedural transitions
could impair its ability to attract and service customers, and could cause it
to incur higher operating costs and delays in the execution of its business
plan. eGain's management may not be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and
manage required personnel. In addition, eGain's management may not be able to
successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market
opportunities.

eGain may not be able to upgrade its systems and the eGain Hosted Network to
accommodate growth in ecommerce

   eGain faces risks related to the ability of the eGain Hosted Network to
operate with higher activity levels while maintaining expected performance. As
the volume and complexity of ecommerce customer communications increase, eGain
will need to expand its systems and hosted network infrastructure. The
expansion and adaptation of eGain's network infrastructure will require
substantial financial, operational and management resources. Customer demand
for eGain's products and services could be greatly reduced if eGain fails to
maintain high capacity data transmission. In addition, as eGain upgrades its
network, eGain is likely to encounter equipment or software incompatibility.
eGain may not be able to expand or adapt the eGain Hosted Network to meet
additional demand or eGain's customers' changing requirements in a timely
manner or at all.

Unplanned system interruptions and capacity constraints could reduce eGain's
ability to provide hosting services and could harm its business and reputation

   eGain's customers have in the past experienced some interruptions with the
eGain Hosted Network. eGain believes that these interruptions will continue to
occur from time to time. These interruptions could be due to hardware and
operating system failures. eGain expects a substantial portion of its revenue
to be derived from customers who use the eGain Hosted Network. As a result,
eGain's business will suffer if it experiences frequent or long system
interruptions that result in the unavailability or reduced performance of the
eGain Hosted Network or reduce eGain's ability to provide remote management
services. eGain expects to experience occasional temporary capacity constraints
due to sharply increased traffic, which may cause unanticipated system
disruptions, slower response times, impaired quality and degradation in levels
of customer service. If this were to continue to happen, eGain's business and
reputation could be seriously harmed.

   eGain's success largely depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation
of its computer and communications hardware and network systems. Most of
eGain's computer and communications systems are located in Sunnyvale,
California. eGain's systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or
interruption from fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure and
similar events. In addition, eGain may experience temporary system disruptions
due to the loss of electrical power as a result of California's energy
shortages and related customer blackouts and the recent bankruptcy filing by
one of the major California public utilities.

   eGain has entered into service agreements with some of its customers that
require minimum performance standards, including standards regarding the
availability and response time of eGain's remote management services. If eGain
fails to meet these standards, eGain's customers could terminate their
relationships with eGain, and eGain could be subject to contractual monetary
penalties. Any unplanned interruption of services may harm eGain's ability to
attract and retain customers.

                                      28

eGain relies on relationships with, and the system integrity of, hosting
partners for the eGain Hosted Network

   The eGain Hosted Network consists of virtual data centers co-located in the
physical data centers of eGain's hosting partners. Accordingly, eGain relies on
the speed and reliability of the systems and networks of these hosting
partners. If eGain's hosting partners experience system interruptions or
delays, or if eGain does not maintain or develop relationships with reliable
hosting partners, eGain's business could suffer.

Problems arising from use of eGain's products with other vendors' products
could cause eGain to incur significant costs, divert attention from eGain's
product development efforts and cause customer relations problems

   eGain's customers generally use eGain products together with products from
other companies. As a result, when problems occur in the network, it may be
difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when eGain's products do
not cause these problems, these problems may cause eGain to incur significant
warranty and repair costs, divert the attention of eGain's engineering
personnel from product development efforts and cause significant customer
relations problems.

eGain may be unable to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights

   eGain regards its patents, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade
secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to its success, and
relies on trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and
confidentiality and/or license agreements with eGain employees, customers and
partners to protect its proprietary rights. eGain has numerous registered
trademarks and trademark applications pending in the United States and
internationally, as well as common law trademark rights. In addition, eGain
owns several patents in the area of case-based reasoning, and has patents
pending relating to various technologies. eGain will seek additional trademark
and patent protection in the future. eGain does not know if its trademark and
patent applications will be granted, or whether they will provide the
protection eGain desires, or whether they will subsequently be challenged or
invalidated. It is difficult to monitor unauthorized use of technology,
particularly in foreign countries, where the laws may not protect eGain's
proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Furthermore, eGain's
competitors may independently develop technology similar to eGain's technology.

   Despite eGain's efforts to protect its proprietary rights through
confidentiality and license agreements, unauthorized parties may attempt to
copy or otherwise obtain and use eGain's products or technology. These
precautions may not prevent misappropriation or infringement of eGain's
intellectual property. In addition, eGain routinely requires its employees,
customers, and potential business partners to enter into confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreements before eGain will disclose any sensitive aspects of
its products, technology, or business plans. In addition, eGain requires
employees to agree to surrender to eGain any proprietary information,
inventions or other intellectual property they generate or come to possess
while employed by eGain. In addition, some of eGain's license agreements with
certain customers and partners require eGain to place the source code for its
products into escrow. These agreements typically provide that some party will
have a limited, non-exclusive right to access and use this code as authorized
by the license agreement if there is a bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or
against eGain, or if eGain materially breaches a contractual commitment to
provide support and maintenance to the party.

                                      29

eGain may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be costly
to defend

   Third parties may infringe or misappropriate eGain's copyrights, trademarks
and similar proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may assert
infringement claims against eGain. Although eGain has received no notice of any
alleged infringement, eGain's products may infringe issued patents that may
relate to its products. In addition, because the contents of patent
applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent
is issued, applications may have been filed which relate to eGain's software
products. eGain may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to
time in the ordinary course of its business, including claims of alleged
infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third
parties. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and
could divert management's attention away from running eGain's business. This
litigation could also require eGain to develop non-infringing technology or
enter into royalty or license agreements. These royalty or license agreements,
if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, in the event
of a successful claim of infringement. eGain's failure or inability to develop
non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis
would harm its business.

eGain may need to license third-party technologies and may be unable to do so

   To the extent eGain needs to license third-party technologies, it may be
unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, eGain
may fail to successfully integrate any licensed technology into its products or
services. Third-party licenses may expose eGain to increased risks, including
risks associated with the integration of new technology, the diversion of
resources from the development of eGain's own proprietary technology, and
eGain's inability to generate revenue from new technology sufficient to offset
associated acquisition and maintenance costs. eGain's inability to obtain any
of these licenses could delay product and service development until equivalent
technology can be identified, licensed and integrated. This in turn would harm
eGain's business and operating results.

The conversion of eGain's preferred shares and the exercise of the related
warrants would result in a substantial number of additional shares being
issued, which could result in a decline in the market price of eGain's common
stock

   On August 22, 2000, eGain issued 35.11 shares of non-voting Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A"), $100,000 stated value per
share, and 849.89 shares of non-voting Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series B"), $100,000 stated value per share in a private
placement to certain investors. The Series B shares automatically converted
into Series A shares upon stockholder approval on November 20, 2000 at the
annual stockholders meeting. In addition, the investors received warrants to
purchase 3,826,000 shares of eGain's common stock with a current warrant
exercise price of $5.6875 per share. The total proceeds of the offering were
$88,500,000. The Series A shares have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per
share which increases on a daily basis at an annual rate of 6.75% from August
8, 2000, compounded on a semi-annual basis. The Series A stockholders are
entitled to cash dividends only when and if declared by the board of directors.
The Series A shares are convertible into common stock (including all amounts
accreted from August 8, 2000) at a conversion price of $5.6875 per share. By
way of illustration, at the current conversion price of $5.6875 per share, as
of August 8, 2001 the Series A shares would be convertible into 16.6 million
shares of common stock.

   To the extent the preferred shares are converted into common stock
(including all amounts accreted from August 8, 2000), a significant number of
shares of common stock may be sold into the market, which could decrease the
price of eGain's common stock.

                                      30

<PAGE>

eGain's stock price may be volatile

   The price at which eGain common stock trades has been and will likely
continue to be highly volatile and fluctuate substantially due to factors such
as the following:

  .  actual or anticipated fluctuations in eGain's operating results;

  .  changes in or failure to meet securities analysts' expectations;

  .  announcements of technological innovations;

  .  introduction of new services by eGain or its competitors;

  .  developments with respect to intellectual property rights;

  .  conditions and trends in the Internet and other technology industries; and

  .  general market conditions.

eGain may become involved in securities class action litigation which could
divert management's attention and harm its business

   The stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the common stocks
of technology companies, particularly Internet companies. These broad market
fluctuations may cause the market price of eGain common stock to decline. In
the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular
company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought
against that company. eGain may become involved in this type of litigation in
the future. Litigation is often expensive and diverts management's attention
and resources, which could harm eGain business and operating results.

eGain may need additional capital, and raising additional capital may dilute
existing stockholders

   eGain believes that its existing capital resources will enable it to
maintain its current and planned operations for the next 12 months. However,
eGain may choose to, or be required to, raise additional funds due to
unforeseen circumstances. If eGain's capital requirements vary materially from
those currently planned, it may require additional financing sooner than
anticipated. This financing may not be available in sufficient amounts or on
terms acceptable to eGain and may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

   eGain believes competition will increase as its current competitors increase
the sophistication of their offerings and as new participants enter the market.
Many of eGain's current and potential competitors have:

  .  longer operating histories;

  .  larger customer bases;

  .  greater brand recognition;

  .  more diversified lines of products and services; and

  .  significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources.

   These competitors may enter into strategic or commercial relationships with
larger, more established and better-financed companies. These competitors may
be able to:

  .  undertake more extensive marketing campaigns;

                                      31

<PAGE>

  .  adopt more aggressive pricing policies; and

  .  make more attractive offers to businesses to induce them to use their
     products or services.

   Further, any delays in the general market acceptance of eGain's ecommerce
customer communications applications would likely harm its competitive
position. Any delay would allow eGain's competitors additional time to improve
their service or product offerings, and also provide time for new competitors
to develop ecommerce customer communications applications and solicit
prospective customers within eGain's target markets. Increased competition
could result in pricing pressures, reduced operating margins and loss of market
share.

eGain depends on broad market acceptance of online customer communications
applications

   eGain depends on the widespread acceptance and use of online customer
communications applications as an effective solution for businesses seeking to
manage high volumes of customer communication over the Internet. eGain cannot
estimate the size or growth rate of the potential market for its product and
service offerings, and does not know whether its products and services will
achieve broad market acceptance. The market for online customer communications
is new and rapidly evolving, and concerns over the security and reliability of
online transactions, the privacy of users and quality of service or other
issues may inhibit the growth of the Internet and commercial online services.
If the market for online customer communications applications fails to grow or
grows more slowly than eGain currently anticipates, its business will be
seriously harmed.

eGain may be unable to develop or enhance products or services that address the
changing needs of the online customer communications market

   To be competitive in the online customer communications market, eGain must
continually improve the performance, features and reliability of eGain products
and services, including eGain's existing online customer communications
applications, and develop new products, services, functionality and technology
that address changing industry standards and customer needs. If eGain cannot
bring new or enhanced products to market in a timely and effective way, its
business and operating results will suffer. More generally, if eGain cannot
adapt or respond in a cost-effective and timely manner to changing industry
standards, market conditions or customer requirements, eGain's business and
operating results will suffer.

eGain will only be able to execute its business plan if Internet usage
continues to grow

   eGain's business will be seriously harmed if Internet usage does not
continue to grow or grows at significantly lower rates compared to current
trends. The continued growth of the Internet depends on various factors, most
of which are outside eGain's control. These factors include the following:

  .  the Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on
     it;

  .  the performance and reliability of the Internet may decline as usage
     grows;

  .  security and authentication concerns with respect to transmission over the
     Internet of confidential information, such as credit card numbers, and
     attempts by unauthorized computer users, so-called hackers, to penetrate
     online security systems; and

  .  privacy concerns, including those related to the ability of Web sites to
     gather user information without the user's knowledge or consent.

                                      32

<PAGE>

Because eGain provides its interaction management software to companies
conducting business over the Internet, eGain's business could suffer if
efficient transmission of data over the Internet is interrupted

   The recent growth in the use of the Internet has caused frequent
interruptions and delays in accessing the Internet and transmitting data over
the Internet. Because eGain provides Internet-based interaction management
software, interruptions or delays in Internet transmissions will harm eGain
customers' ability to receive and respond to online interactions. Therefore,
eGain's market depends on improvements being made to the entire Internet
infrastructure to alleviate overloading and congestion.

Governmental regulation and legal uncertainties could impair the growth of the
Internet and decrease demand for eGain's services or increase eGain's cost of
doing business

   Governmental regulation may impair the growth of the Internet or commercial
online services. This could decrease the demand for eGain's products and
services, increase its cost of doing business or otherwise harm its business
and operating results. Although there are currently few laws and regulations
directly applicable to the Internet and the use of the Internet as a commercial
medium, a number of laws have been proposed involving the Internet. These
proposed laws include laws addressing user privacy, pricing, content,
copyrights, distribution, antitrust, and characteristics and quality of
products and services. Further, the growth and development of the market for
commercial online transactions may prompt calls for more stringent consumer
protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies engaged
in ecommerce. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws in
various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership, sales and
other taxes, libel and personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to
resolve.

eGain may be liable for activities of its customers or others using the eGain
Hosted Network

   As a provider of interaction management software for the Internet, eGain
faces potential liability for defamation, negligence, copyright, patent or
trademark infringement and other claims based on the actions of eGain customers
or others using the eGain Hosted Network. This liability could result from the
nature and content of the communications transmitted by eGain customers through
the eGain Hosted Network. eGain does not and cannot screen all of the
communications generated by its customers, and eGain could be exposed to
liability with respect to this content. Furthermore, some foreign governments
have enforced laws and regulations related to content distributed over the
Internet that are more strict than those currently in place in the United
States.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   eGain develops products in the United States and India and sells these
products internationally. Generally, sales are made in local currency. As a
result, eGain's financial results could be affected by factors such as changes
in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign
markets. To date, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on
revenues and operating expenses has not been material. eGain does not currently
use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

   eGain's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to its investment portfolio. eGain's investments consist primarily of
commercial paper and money market funds, which have an average fixed rate of
4.5% to 5.5%, and have maturities of three months or less. eGain does not
consider its cash equivalents to be subject to interest rate risk due to their
short maturities.

                  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
eGain Communications Corporations

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eGain
Communications Corporation as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of eGain
Communications Corporation at June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

   eGain is a leading provider of enterprise interaction management/eService
software that enables companies to transform traditional customer call centers
into multi-channel eService networks. To help businesses deliver a superior
customer experience and establish profitable, long-term customer relationships,
while reducing operating and technology costs, eGain offers best-of-breed
applications that enable online customers to communicate through each of the
three primary channels for online customer interaction--email, real-time and
self-service. Built using a 100% Web-native architecture, eGain's comprehensive
eService solutions are designed to provide robust scalability, global access,
diverse integration capabilities and rapid deployment. In addition, eGain's
solution is designed to integrate with leading CRM, ERP and call center
systems, enabling customers to leverage investments in existing systems and
providing an enterprise wide solution.

Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eGain and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The estimates are based upon information available as of the
date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

   The functional currency of each of eGain's international subsidiaries is the
local currency of the country in which it operates. Assets and liabilities of
eGain's foreign subsidiaries are translated at month-end exchange rates, and
revenues and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The
resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations
and, to date, have not been significant.

Cash equivalents

   eGain considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. eGain's cash equivalents consisted
of the following (in thousands):

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Short-Term Investments

   Short-term investments are securities with maturities of more than 90 days
but less than one year. Management determines the appropriate classification of
debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and evaluates such
designation as of each balance sheet date. To date, all debt and equity
securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income/loss. Realized gains and losses and interest and
dividends on all securities are included in interest income. As of June 30,
2001, eGain had no short-term investments. As of June 30, 2000, eGain had an
investment in a single debt security with a contractual maturity of
approximately 10 months that had a fair value of $2,991,000 and an amortized
cost basis of $3,154,000.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   eGain's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. eGain
does not have any derivative financial instruments. eGain believes the reported
carrying amounts of its financial instruments approximate fair value, based
upon their short-term nature and comparable market information available at the
respective balance sheet dates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

   Financial instruments that subject eGain to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
eGain invests excess cash primarily in commercial paper and money market funds,
which are highly liquid securities that bear minimal risk. In addition, eGain
has investment policies and procedures that are reviewed periodically to
minimize credit risk.

   eGain's customer base extends across many different industries and
geographic regions. eGain performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally
does not require collateral. In addition, eGain establishes an allowance for
doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers,
historical trends and other information. In the years ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue, while in
the year ended June 30, 1999, two customers accounted for 26% of total revenue.

Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful life of the respective assets (3 years). Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of their corresponding lease term or
the estimated useful lives of the improvements (5 years).

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

   Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized using the
straight-line method. The amounts allocated to goodwill, customer base,
acquired technology, workforce and trademark are being amortized over the
assets' estimated useful lives, which range from three to four years.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

   eGain periodically evaluates long-lived assets, including goodwill, to
determine if the carrying value of the assets is impaired. The reviews look for
the existence of facts or circumstances, either internal or external, which
indicate that the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered. Such
indicators would include a lack of successful further development and
integration of the acquired company's technology into eGain's operations, lack
of market acceptance of the products and lower than expected cash flows from
operations. No impairment has been indicated to date. If there is an indication
of impairment in the future and undiscounted expected future cash flows are
less than the carrying amount of the assets, eGain will measure the amount of
the loss based on discounted expected future cash flows from the impaired
assets. The cash flow calculations would be based on management's best
estimates, using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time.

   In addition, eGain assesses the impairment of goodwill not included in the
scope of SFAS 121 under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17, Intangible
Assets ("APB 17"). Write-offs and write-downs to net realizable value of
goodwill not included in the scope of SFAS 121 will typically be made only if
eGain has effectively abandoned and stopped selling virtually all of the
products acquired in the acquisition. No impairment has been indicated to date.

Revenue Recognition

   eGain recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2"), as amended. Under SOP 97-2, revenue
from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement
exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant eGain obligations
remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
License revenue in multiple element contracts is recognized using the residual
method when there is vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of
all undelivered elements in an arrangement but vendor specific objective
evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements
in an arrangement. Under the residual method, the total fair value of the
undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor specific objective evidence, is
deferred and the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the
delivered elements. If sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence does not
exist for undelivered elements in an arrangement, all revenue from the
arrangement is deferred until the earlier of the point at which (a) such
sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence does exist or (b) all elements of
the arrangement have been delivered.

   Revenue from hosting services is recognized ratably over the period of the
agreement as services are provided. Hosting agreements are typically for a
period of one year and automatically renew unless either party cancels the
agreement.

   Service revenue is primarily derived from consulting fees, maintenance
agreements, and training. Service revenue from consulting and training billed
on a time and materials basis is recognized as performed. Service revenue on
fixed price service arrangements is recognized upon completion of specific
contractual milestone events, or based on an estimated percentage of completion
as work progresses. Maintenance agreements include the right to software
updates on an if-and-when-available basis. Maintenance revenue is deferred and
recognized on a straight-line basis as service revenue over the life of the
related agreement, which is typically one year.

   In all cases, eGain assesses whether the service element of the arrangement
is essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement. In
this determination, eGain focuses on whether the services include significant
alterations to the features and functionality of the software, whether the
services involve the building of complex interfaces, the timing of payments and
the existence of milestones. In making this determination, eGain considers the
following: (1) the relative fair value of the services compared to the
software, (2) the amount of time and effort subsequent to delivery of the
software until the interfaces or other modifications are completed, (3) the
degree of technical difficulty in building the interfaces or other
modifications, and (4) any contractual cancellation, acceptance, or termination
provisions for failure to complete the interfaces. In those instances where
eGain determines that the service elements are essential to the other elements
of the arrangement, eGain accounts for the entire arrangement in accordance
with Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 45, "Long-Term Construction-Type
Contracts," using the relevant guidance from SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1, "Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts."

Software Development Costs

   Software development costs are included in research and development and are
expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product is
achieved. To date, software development costs incurred in the period between
achieving technological feasibility and general availability of software have
been charged to operations as incurred.

Advertising Costs

   eGain expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising expenses for
the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $2,629,000, $4,291,000 and
$210,000 respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

   eGain accounts for its stock-based compensation arrangements with employees
using the intrinsic value method as allowed under Accounting Principles Board
No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25,
deferred stock-based compensation is recorded on the date of grant when the
deemed fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price for
stock options. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), eGain is required to
disclose the pro forma effects on operating results as if eGain had elected to
use the fair value approach to account for all of its stock-based employee
compensation plans.

   In accordance with SFAS 123, stock options and warrants issued to
non-employees are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
reliably measured.

Income Taxes

   Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes ("SFAS 109"). Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the
carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Comprehensive Loss

   eGain reports comprehensive loss and its components in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("SFAS 130"). Under SFAS 130, comprehensive income includes all changes
in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or
distributions to owners. Total comprehensive loss for each of the three years
ended June 30, 2001 is shown in the statement of stockholders' equity.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss presented in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets at June 30, 2001 consists solely of accumulated foreign currency
translation adjustments.

Net Loss Per Common Share

   Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding.

New Accounting Pronouncements

   During fiscal year 2001, eGain adopted Statement of Financial Reporting
Standards No. 133, ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." SFAS 133, as amended, requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Change in the
fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designed as part of
a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction. The adoption of
SFAS 133, as amended, did not have an impact on eGain's financial position or
results of operations, as eGain does not hold derivative instruments or engage
in hedging activities.

   In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." eGain adopted the guidance in SAB 101 during its fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2001. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on
eGain's results of operations or financial position.

   On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), "Business Combinations",
and No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

   SFAS 141 supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations", and
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations, thus requiring all business combinations be accounted for using
the purchase method. In addition, in applying the purchase method, SFAS 141
changes the criteria for recognizing intangible assets apart from goodwill and
states the following criteria should be considered in determining the
recognition of the intangible assets: (1) the intangible asset arises from
contractual or other legal

                                      47

<PAGE>

                       eGAIN COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

rights, or (2) the intangible asset is separable or dividable from the acquired
entity and capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged.
The requirements of SFAS 141 are effective for all business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001.

   SFAS 142 supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets", and requires
goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life to no
longer be amortized; however, these assets must be reviewed at least annually
for impairment. Application of SFAS 142 is required immediately for business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001; however, for transactions completed
prior to July 1, 2001, eGain may elect to adopt SFAS 142 effective either July
1, 2001 or July 1, 2002. This election must be made prior to the issuance of
its financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2001. Due to the
complexity of this new standard and its recent issuance, eGain is continuing to
evaluate whether it will adopt SFAS 142 effective July 1, 2001.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

   In April 2001, eGain obtained final regulatory approval from the government
of India to complete the acquisition of eGain Communications Private Limited
("eGain India"), formerly Nitman Software Private Limited, an ecommerce
software development company located in Pune, India. Effective April 23, 2001,
eGain acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of eGain India in exchange
for a $921,000 cash payment and transaction costs totaling $65,000. The
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
the results of eGain India's operations have been combined with those of eGain
since the date of acquisition.

intangible assets that are being amortized over estimated useful lives ranging
from three to four years.

   On March 7, 2000, eGain acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Big
Science Company ("Big Science"), a developer of self-service software products
for $34,200,000. eGain issued 740,000 shares of its common stock in the
acquisition and assumed options that can be exercised for 50,000 shares of its
common stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and the results of Big Science's operations have been combined with
those of eGain since the date of acquisition. This purchase resulted in
$34,423,000 of goodwill and other intangible assets that are being amortized
over an estimated useful life of three years.

   On April 30, 1999, eGain acquired Sitebridge Corporation ("Sitebridge"). In
connection with the acquisition, eGain issued preferred stock and common stock
and assumed options and warrants to acquire shares of common stock and
preferred stock. The fair market value of the securities issued in the
acquisition was $20,148,000. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and the results of Sitebridge's operations have
been combined with those of eGain since the date of acquisition. This purchase
resulted in $21,412,000 of goodwill and other intangible assets that are being
amortized over an estimated useful life of three years.

4. BANK BORROWINGS AND NOTES PAYABLE

   On March 29, 2001, eGain entered into an amendment to a previous loan
agreement dated August 7, 1998. The amendment provides for a $3,500,000
revolving line of credit, reduced by the issuance of standby letters of

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

credit not to exceed $1,000,000, and a $3,000,000 equipment line of credit. In
addition, eGain's previous $1,000,000 line of credit was converted into a
24-month term loan. Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by all of
eGain's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 0.50% (7.5% at
June 30, 2001). The lines of credit and term loan are subject to certain
financial covenants and restrictions with respect to, among others, tangible
net worth, liquidity and the repurchase of eGain's common stock. eGain was in
compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2001.

   Total borrowings under the lines of credit and term loan were $5,435,000 at
June 30, 2001, which consisted of the following (in thousands):

   In October 1998, eGain obtained a $1,500,000 credit facility with a leasing
company for equipment purchases. Borrowings under the credit facility are
collateralized by certain fixed assets and bear an imputed interest rate of
13.68%. At June 30, 2001 and 2000, $360,000 and $525,000, respectively, were
outstanding under the credit facility. In conjunction with the credit facility,
eGain issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of its Series A preferred
stock, which was converted into a right to purchase eGain's common stock upon
eGain's initial public offering, at $0.8055 per share.

5. INCOME TAXES

   Due to operating losses and the inability to recognize the benefits
therefrom, there is no provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30,
2001, 2000 or 1999.

   As of June 30, 2001, eGain had a federal net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $140,000,000. eGain also had federal research and development
credit carryforwards of approximately $1,300,000. The net operating loss and
credit carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2002 through
2021, if not utilized.

   Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to a
substantial limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual
limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits
before utilization.

operating loss and credit carryforwards and of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the
amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of eGain's
deferred tax assets and liabilities for federal and state income taxes are as

   FASB No. 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if
realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of
available evidence, which includes eGain's historical operating performance and
the reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, eGain has provided a
full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

   The net valuation allowance increased by $24,100,000 and $27,100,000 during
the year ended 2001 and 2000, respectively.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

   eGain sponsors an employee savings and retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan")
as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan
is available to all domestic employees who meet minimum age and service
requirements, and provides employees with tax deferred salary deductions and
alternative investment options. Employees may contribute up to 20% of their
salary, subject to certain limitations. eGain, at the discretion of its Board
of Directors, may make contributions to the 401(k) Plan. eGain has not
contributed to the 401(k) Plan since its inception.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Convertible Preferred Stock

   On August 22, 2000, eGain issued 35.11 shares of non-voting Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A"), $100,000 stated value per
share, and 849.89 shares of non-voting Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series B"), $100,000 stated value per share in a private
placement to certain investors. The Series B shares automatically converted
into Series A shares upon stockholder approval on November 20, 2000 at the
annual stockholders meeting. In addition, the investors received warrants to
purchase approximately 3,826,000 shares of eGain's common stock (the
"Warrants"). The total proceeds of the offering were $88,500,000. The Series A
shares have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share which increases on a
daily basis at an annual rate of 6.75% from August 8, 2000, compounded on a
semi-annual basis. The Series A aggregate liquidation preference was
$93,933,000 at June 30, 2001. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of eGain, before any distribution or payment to holders of common
stock, Series A stockholders shall be entitled to be paid the greater of (i)
the liquidation value, or (ii) an amount equal to the amount that Series A
stockholders would be entitled to receive if they had converted their shares to
common stock immediately prior to the record date in connection with such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up. A consolidation, merger or other
business combination resulting in the holders of the issued and outstanding
voting securities immediately prior to such transaction owning or controlling a
majority of the voting securities of the continuing or surviving entity
immediately following such transaction shall not be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up (unless in connection therewith, the liquidation of
eGain is specifically approved). The Series A stockholders are entitled to cash
dividends only when and if declared by the board of directors. The Series A
shares are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at any
time.

   Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A agreement, on August 8,
2001, the conversion price of the Series A shares underwent a reset from the
original conversion price of $9.2517 per share to $5.6875 per share. As a
result of this adjustment of the conversion price, the currently outstanding
Series A shares were convertible into approximately 16,635,000 shares of common
stock as of August 8, 2001. In addition, on August 8, 2001, pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Warrant agreement, the exercise price of the
Warrants underwent an adjustment from the original exercise price of $9.2517
per share to $5.6875 per share. This adjustment to the exercise price of the
Warrants will not result in the issuance of additional warrants or shares of
common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   If not sooner converted, eGain has the option to convert the Series A shares
into common stock after August 8, 2003 if the closing bid price of eGain's
common stock on 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of
notice requesting conversion is equal to or greater than 250% of the initial
conversion price (or $23.13 per share). If not sooner converted, on August 8,
2005 eGain must either, at its option, redeem the Series A shares for cash or
convert the Series A shares into common stock at a price per share equal to 95%
of the average closing bid price per share of eGain's common stock on the 20
consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date.

   The net cash proceeds of the offering, after expenses, were $82,601,000. In
order to determine whether a beneficial conversion feature existed in
connection with the offering, the proceeds were discounted by $25,300,000,
representing the valuation of the 3,826,000 warrants issued in connection with
the sale of Series A and B shares. After reducing the proceeds by the value of
the warrants, the remaining proceeds were used to compute a discounted
conversion price, which was compared to the fair market value of eGain's common
stock at the date of issuance to determine whether a beneficial conversion
feature existed. In the year ended June 30, 2001, $19,300,000 was allocated to
the beneficial conversion feature and was included in net loss applicable to
common stockholders. Additionally, in connection with the adjustment of the
Series A conversion price to $5.6875 per share on August 8, 2001, eGain will
record a substantial additional beneficial conversion charge in the quarter
ending September 30, 2001.

   Accrued dividends, representing the increase in liquidation value at the
rate of 6.75% per annum, are charged against additional paid-in capital and are
included in net loss applicable to common stockholders. In the year ended June
30, 2001, accrued dividends were $5,433,000.

Common Stock

   On September 28, 1999, eGain completed an initial public offering in which
it sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share for net proceeds
of $54,700,000. In October 1999, the underwriters exercised an over-allotment
option of 750,000 shares resulting in net proceeds of $8,300,000.

   Certain option holders have exercised options to purchase shares of
restricted common stock in exchange for five-year, full recourse promissory
notes. The notes bear interest ranging from 5.0% to 6.0% and expire at various
dates through June 2004. eGain has the right to repurchase all unvested shares
at the original exercise price upon employee termination. The number of shares
subject to this repurchase right decreases as the shares vest under the
original option terms, generally four years. There were 485,000 and 1,460,000
shares subject to repurchase at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Common Stock Warrants

   In connection with the acquisition of Sitebridge, eGain assumed warrants to
purchase 121,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.9916 per share, which
expire in May 2003. In addition, eGain assumed warrants to purchase 30,000
shares of common stock at a price of $0.2754 per share, which expire in October
2001.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

   The 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") allows eligible employees
to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of an
employee's compensation, subject to certain limitations. The ESPP has a
one-year offering period that begins in May or November of each year, depending
on which date the participant elects to enter the ESPP. The purchase price of
the common stock will be equal to 85% of the lower of (1) the fair market value
per share on the participant's entry date into the offering period or (2) the
fair market value per share on each semi-annual purchase date during the
offering period. A total of 750,000 shares of common stock have been reserved
for issuance under the ESPP, of which 463,000 shares had been issued as of June
30, 2001. During the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 there were 388,000 and
75,000 shares issued under the ESPP, respectively.

2000 Stock Plan

   In July 2000, the board of directors adopted the 2000 Non-Management Stock
Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"), which provides for the grant of nonstatutory
stock options to employees, advisors and consultants of eGain. Options under
the 2000 Plan shall be granted at a price not less than 85% of the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. eGain's board of directors
determines the fair market value (as defined in the 2000 Plan) of the common
stock, date of grant and vesting schedules of the options granted. The options
generally vest ratably over 4 years and expire no later than 10 years from the
date of grant.

1998 Stock Plan

   In June 1998, the board of directors adopted the 1998 Stock Plan (the "1998
Plan"), which provides for grant of stock options to eligible participants.
Options granted under the 1998 Plan are either incentive stock options or
nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees
with exercise prices of no less than the fair value of the common stock and
nonstatutory options may be granted to eligible participants at exercise prices
of no less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.
eGain's board of directors determines the fair market value (as defined in the
1998 Plan) of the common stock, date of grant and vesting schedules of the
options granted. The options generally vest ratably over a period of four years
and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Options are generally
exercisable upon grant, subject to repurchase rights by eGain until vested.

Stock-Based Compensation

   Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required
by SFAS 123 as if eGain had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees
under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of eGain's stock-based
awards to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes multiple option
pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use
in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model
requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility. eGain's stock-based awards to employees have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate. Therefore, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
stock-based awards to employees.

   The fair value of eGain's stock-based awards to employees was estimated
assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate..................... 6.00% 5.79% 5.72% 5.65% 5.79% 5.72%
</TABLE>

   The weighted-average fair value of options granted in the years ended June
30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $1.41, $15.62 and $0.06, respectively.

   For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of an option
is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the option. eGain's pro
forma information, which includes the stock option plans and the ESPP, for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is as follows (in thousands except
for basic and diluted net loss per common share information):

    Basic and diluted pro forma.........................     (3.79)    (3.42)
</TABLE>

   The effect of applying SFAS 123 to eGain's stock options granted prior to
fiscal 2000 did not result in pro forma net loss amounts that are materially
different from the reported historical amounts. Therefore, such pro forma
information is not separately presented herein.

9. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

   During fiscal 2001, eGain recorded restructuring charges totaling
$1,443,000. These charges primarily related to a reduction in eGain's worldwide
workforce of 141 employees across all departments and office closures in North
America pursuant to the adoption of eGain's expense management strategy. The
total charges were primarily comprised of $917,000 related to severance costs,
$263,000 related to office closure costs and $263,000 related to legal and
professional costs associated with the employee terminations. Of the total
charges, $220,000, which was primarily related to legal and professional costs,
remained unpaid as of June 30, 2001.

   During fiscal 2000, eGain incurred $71,000 of restructuring charges related
to the acquisition of Inference, all of which was paid as of June 30, 2001.
eGain abandoned plans to occupy new office space in the United Kingdom and
expensed professional services fees incurred in the design phase of the office
space.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS--(Unaudited)

   On September 7, 2001, eGain filed a final amendment to a tender offer
statement on Schedule TO dated May 24, 2001 announcing the final results of its
offer to exchange certain eligible options outstanding under eGain's stock
option plans for new options to purchase shares of eGain common stock. The new
options will be granted on or after six months and one day after August 10,
2001, the date the tendered options were accepted and canceled. eGain
anticipates issuing new options to purchase 925,370 shares of eGain common
stock in exchange for the options surrendered in the offer to exchange.
