SAGENT TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(Unaudited) 
(In thousands, except where noted)

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    1.  Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
        Basis of Presentation
        The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. 
        These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with Sagent's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.      Business
        Sagent offers a complete business intelligence software platform that allows business users and Information Technology (IT) departments to work together to integrate, analyze, deliver and understand information. Sagent's technology and proven implementation methodology reduce the time and expense required to deploy custom business intelligence solutions. Sagent technology also forms the basis for multiple partner solutions that address the needs of specific vertical and functional application areas. 
        Sagent was incorporated in California in April 1995 under the name Savant Software, Inc. In June 1995, we changed our name to Sagent Technology, Inc. In September 1998, we reincorporated in Delaware. References in this quarterly report to "Sagent," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Sagent Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.      Principles of Consolidation 
        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sagent Technology, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary Sagent Asia/Pacific Pte Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Qualitative Marketing Software, Inc.
(QMS), Sagent U.K., Ltd., Sagent Technology GmbH, Sagent France, S.A., Sagent Technology Japan
KK, Sagent Benelux, Sagent Australia Pty Ltd, Sagent do Brazil, and Sagent de Mexico. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.      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 and 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.
Examples of such estimates include accounting for litigation contingencies and
the valuation of accounts receivable. Sagent's current estimated range of liability related to some of the pending litigation is based on claims for which we can estimate the amount and range of loss.
Sagent analyzes current accounts receivable for a reserve for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, the current business environment and historical experience with the customer. The allowance includes specific reserves for accounts where collection is no longer probable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.      Foreign Currency Translation
        The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. Sagent translates the balance sheet accounts of the Company's foreign operations from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period.   Gains and losses from translation adjustments are included in stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet caption "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)". Currency transaction gains and losses on inter-company accounts stated in a currency other than the functional currency, are recognized in current operations and have not been significant to Sagent's operating results in any period. The effect of foreign currency rate exchange on cash and cash equivalents has not been significant in any period.      Cash and Cash Equivalents
        Cash and cash equivalent include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Sagent's cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 consisted of deposits in banks and money market funds.      Restricted Cash
        Certain of our lease agreements
require us to provide standby letters of credit to guarantee payment. As of
September 30, 2002, $775 of  standby letters of credit were issued against the restricted cash.     Concentration of Credit Risk
        Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Sagent maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Sagent maintains allowances for potential credit risks and for estimated future sales returns. Sales returns to date have not been material. Actual credit losses to date have been within management's expectations. As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, there were no customers with balances due to Sagent in excess of 10% of aggregate accounts receivable.      Property and Equipment
        Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to five years. Depreciation commences upon placing the asset in service. Capital leases are recorded at the lesser of the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease or the present value of the minimum lease payments as of the beginning of the lease term. Leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. Sagent reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.      Goodwill
        Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In 2001, Sagent amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life ranging from one to five years. 
        Sagent adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002. Sagent ceased amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002 and evaluates its goodwill for impairment, in accordance with Company's policy stated below.      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" became effective in 2002. In lieu of amortization, we are required to perform impairment reviews of our goodwill
at least annually. 
        Sagent reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or that the useful lives of the assets are no longer appropriate. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to changes in economic and industry trends, changes in the strategies of the company in sales and marketing and research and development, changes in projected future operating results, changes in the mode of operations and the exit from facilities and significant declines in Sagent's stock price for a significant period of time. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company's current business model. 
        The following table presents pro
forma net loss per share information for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2001, adjusted to exclude the amortization related to goodwill that is no longer being amortized under SFAS No. 142:

Due
to changes in the Company's overall business strategy, Sagent decided to close
its Brazil office, and as a result impaired all of the goodwill related to
Sagent Brazil of $728 during the three months ended September 30, 2002. The total asset impairments of $1,001 presented in the unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 also includes impairments of notes from shareholders.      Revenue Recognition
        Sagent sells its software products directly to its customers and through channel partners such as enterprise software vendors, resellers and distributors. Enterprise software vendors generally integrate our products with their applications and will embed them into their products or resell them with their products. Our other channel partners, principally resellers and distributors, sell our software products to end user customers. 
        Statement of Position, 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2) was issued in 1997 by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and amended by Statements of Position 98-4 and 98-9. We adopted SOP 97-2 effective January 1, 1998. 
        Sagent derives its revenue from license fees for software products and fees for services relating to the software products, including consulting, training, software and data updates, technical support and real-time marketing services over the Internet. 
        Sagent recognizes revenue from sales of software licenses to end users upon contract execution, provided all shipment obligations have been met, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and vendor specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fee between all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement. If vendor specific objective evidence does not exist to allocate the total fee to all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement, revenue is deferred until the earlier of a) when such evidence does exist for the undelivered elements, or b) when all elements are delivered. 
        Sagent's customers at times require consulting and implementation services which include evaluating their business needs, identifying the data sources necessary to meet these needs and installing the software solution in a manner that fulfills their needs. Our arrangements related to sales of software licenses generally do not include services that are essential to the functionality of the software. Where consulting services would be essential to the functionality of the licensed software, both the license revenue and the consulting service revenue are recognized as the services are performed. When licenses are sold together with consulting and implementation services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that a) the above revenue recognition criteria are met, b) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon performance of the consulting services, and c) the services do not include significant alterations to the features and functionality of the software. 
        Revenue for transactions with enterprise application vendors, OEMs, and distributors is generally recognized when the licenses are resold or utilized by the reseller and all related obligations on our part have been satisfied. However, if the contract stipulates a non-refundable royalty payment to be paid in advance of any resale, revenue is recognized upon execution of the contract, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. 
        Maintenance contracts generally call for us to provide technical support and software updates and upgrades to customers. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, on a straight-line basis when all revenue recognition requirements are met. Other service revenue, primarily training and consulting, is generally recognized at the time the service is performed and when it is determined that the Company has fulfilled our obligations resulting from the services contract.      Deferred Revenue
        Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced to customers under certain license, maintenance and service agreements for which the revenue earnings process has not been completed.      Software Development Costs 
        Software development costs are included in product development and are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, material software development costs are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed." The period between achieving technological feasibility, which Sagent has defined as the establishment of a working model, typically occurring when the beta testing commences, and the general availability of such software has been short, and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. No software development costs have been capitalized for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 since the timing of achieving technological feasibilities and general availability has not been materially different.      Stock-Based Compensation
        Sagent accounts for stock issued to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25") "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" as interpreted by FIN 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" and complies with the disclosure provision of
SFAS Statement No. 123 ("SFAS 123") "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock and the exercise price of the option. Stock compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of the individual awards in a manner consistent with the method described in
FASB Interpretation No. 28, "Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option Award Plus." In addition, the Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123. Pursuant to SFAS 123, stock-based compensation is accounted for at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or at the fair value of the consideration received, whichever is more reliably measurable.      Income Taxes
        Sagent uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between  financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Sagent records a valuation allowance to reduce tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. Sagent
has recorded a valuation allowance for substantially all of its deferred tax
assets, except to the extent of deferred tax liabilities, as we are presently
unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets
will be realized.     Net Loss Per Share
        Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, net of shares subject to repurchase during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Options, warrants, restricted stock and convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share  because the effect would be antidilutive.      Reclassification
        Certain amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated statements of operations were reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting
Pronouncements

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires an enterprise to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset. Since the requirement is to recognize the obligation when incurred, approaches that have been used in the past to accrue the asset retirement obligation over the life of the asset are no longer acceptable. Statement No. 143 also requires the enterprise to record the contra to the initial obligation as an increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset (i.e., the associated asset retirement costs) and to depreciate that cost over the remaining useful life of the asset. The liability is changed at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (i.e., accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair value measurement. The provision of SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. 
              In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of business. The provision will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2.    COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
        Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and all other revenues, expenses, gains and losses recorded directly in equity. Sagent's "other comprehensive loss" consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. There was no significant tax effect on the components of other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

## NOTE 3. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Other current
assets consist of:

|                 | September 30, 2002 | December 31, 2001
|---------------- | ------------------ | -----------------
|Prepaid licenses | $295               | $2,135

|Total            | $1,657             | $3,700           



Included in prepaid licenses are licensed technologies purchased from third parties, which are integrated into our products and services prior to deployment. These licensed technologies are being amortized ratably over the term of the license, generally for a period of two years.

NOTE 4.    OTHER ASSETS
Other assets are comprised of the following:

|                                     | September

|Investment in Responsys (Net Acumen) | $0                             | $529             
|Deposit                              | 496                            | 545

|Total                                | $517                           | $1,138           



The investment in NetAcumen, prior to its acquisition by Responsys, was accounted for under the cost method. On January 16, 2002, Responsys, Inc. acquired 100% of NetAcumen, and NetAcumen became a wholly owned subsidiary of Responsys. As a result of the Responsys common stock Sagent received in the acquisition, Sagent's ownership interest in Responsys is 0.62% as of September 30, 2002.  Sagent continues to account for its investment in Responsys
under the cost method. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, Sagent recognized a $529 loss in investment in Responsys due to an other than temporary decline in the fair market value of the investment, which is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, Sagent recorded
total contract value of  $0 and $119  from sales to Responsys. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, Sagent recorded
total contract value of $31 from sales to NetAcumen.

NOTE 5.    LITIGATION 
        From time to time, the Company has been subject to litigation including the pending litigation described below. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and range of loss on the pending litigation, management is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome. As additional information becomes available, the Company will assess its potential liability and revise its estimates. Pending or future litigation could be costly, could cause the diversion of management's attention and could upon resolution, have a material adverse affect on our business, result of operations, financial condition and cash flow. 
        In addition, the Company is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to our normal business activities and believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, result of operations or cash flow. 
        From October 20, 2000 to November 27, 2000, several class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court on behalf of the individual investors who purchased Company common stock between October 21, 1999 and April 18, 2000. The claims allege that the Company misrepresented its prospects for 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Thereafter, the court consolidated the complaints and selected a lead plaintiff and counsel. A consolidated amended complaint was filed in April 2001. Sagent filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On September 28, 2001, the court granted Sagent's motion, and gave the plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint. On December 28, 2001, the class plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. Sagent filed a motion to dismiss that complaint on February 15, 2002. The hearing on Sagent's motion was held on June 3, 2002. On June 5, 2002, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part Sagent's motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. 
        Thereafter, the plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint.  Sagent has moved to strike certain portions of that complaint on the grounds that those particular allegations were dismissed by the Court from the prior complaint. On August 26, 2002, the court sustained Sagent's
motion to strike certain portions of the complaint. Sagent has answered the complaint.  Because certain claims survived the motion to dismiss the prior complaint, and the discovery stay is no longer in effect for those allegations, the parties are engaging in discovery. 
        On November 17, 2000, a derivative lawsuit was filed by a purported Company shareholder in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Mateo (the "Fanucci Complaint"). On February 9, 2001, a second derivative lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara
(the "Hu Complaint"). The complaints name certain of the Company's present and former officers and directors as defendants. The Hu Complaint also names an investment bank retained by the Company and an employee of that investment bank as defendants. The Company has also been named as a nominal defendant in each complaint. The principal allegation of the complaints is that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company through the dissemination of allegedly misleading and inaccurate information and other allegations. In July 2001, the two cases were coordinated for pretrial purposes in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Fanucci Complaint, on the grounds that, among other things, the plaintiff had failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors as required by Delaware law. The officer and director defendants joined in that motion, and also moved to dismiss on the grounds that the complaint fails to allege the asserted causes of action against the individual defendants. Similar motions were filed concerning the Hu Complaint. The parties agreed to stay the Hu Complaint indefinitely, pending the outcome of the Fanucci matter, and the court entered an order staying the Hu Complaint on January 11, 2002. Thereafter, on January 16, 2002, the Fanucci plaintiff filed a motion to transfer and/or remand that case back to the Superior Court for San Mateo County where it was originally filed. The court heard oral arguments on the defendants' motion to dismiss the Fanucci Complaint, and the plaintiffs' transfer motion on January 28, 2002. On March 1, 2002, the court issued an order sustaining the Company's motion to dismiss, granting the plaintiff leave to amend the complaint, denying the plaintiff's motion to transfer and/or remand the Fanucci case to San Mateo County, and ordering the Company to produce a limited quantity of documents to the plaintiff. 
        The Fanucci plaintiff filed an amended complaint in April 2002.  Sagent and the individual defendants each filed a motion to dismiss to that complaint.  The Court heard oral argument on July 9, 2002 and thereafter sustained the motions to dismiss, holding that the nominal plaintiff did not have standing to litigate the complaint where he had failed to make a pre-suit demand on the Company's Board of Directors as required by Delaware law.  The plaintiffs have not filed an amended complaint to date. 
        In October 2001, infoUSA, Inc. filed a complaint against Sagent in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, seeking amounts infoUSA claims are owed under a license agreement between Sagent and infoUSA. The amount of the claim is $900,000, plus interest.  A default judgment for the full amount of the claim was entered against Sagent on December 20, 2001, for failure by Sagent to respond to the initial complaint. Sagent filed a motion to set aside the default judgment in January 2002. On February 22, 2002, the court granted Sagent's motion to set aside the default judgment, and allowed Sagent to file its answer to the complaint. Currently, Sagent and infoUSA are engaged in pretrial discovery; no trial date has been set. 
        In November and December 2001, several class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased Company common stock between May 11, 2001 and November 28, 2001. The complaints allege that the Company and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Thereafter, the court consolidated the complaints and selected a lead plaintiff and counsel.  A consolidated complaint was filed in April 2002. The complaint alleges that during the class period, the defendants caused the Company's shares to trade at artificially inflated levels through the issuance of false and misleading financial statements. Sagent filed a motion to dismiss that complaint on April 18, 2002.  On August 14, 2002, the court issued an order sustaining Sagent's
motion to dismiss, granting the plaintiff leave to amend the complaint. The
plaintiffs have submitted papers to the Court stating their intent not to file
an amended complaint.
        In February 2002, two derivative lawsuits were filed by purported Company shareholders in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaints name certain of the Company's present and former officers and directors as defendants. The principal allegation of the complaints is that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company through the dissemination of allegedly misleading and inaccurate information and other allegations.
The cases have been consolidated and the plaintiffs have not yet filed a consolidated complaint. The
defendants filed a notion to dismiss, which is currently scheduled to be heard
by the Court on December 18, 2002.
        Following its investigation of the circumstances that lead to the restatement of its financial statements for the first and second quarters of 2001, and the revision of its financial statements for the third quarter of 2001, Sagent entered the Department of Defense's ("DOD") Voluntary Disclosure Program. On June 7, 2002, Sagent filed with the DOD a report of its investigation which revealed that a single non-officer employee was solely responsible for submitting false documents to Sagent which purportedly showed that the Company had entered into contracts with the federal government, and that Sagent had unwittingly submitted requests for payment to U.S. government agencies not knowing that the employee had fabricated those contracts in order to defraud Sagent of various payments and benefits including commission payments.
        In March 2002, Sagent filed suit against MICROS Systems, Inc. ("MICROS") in Santa Clara County California alleging that MICROS had breached a contract to purchase from Sagent certain software and a related service agreement.  The value of that contract is $136,000.  MICROS removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the case was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, where it is currently pending. MICROS has asserted a counterclaim against Sagent, alleging various torts and breaches of duties.  MICROS' counterclaim seeks in excess of $1 million in damages.  The parties are in the early stages of discovery.
        Sagent and Smart Online, Inc. ("Smart Online") entered into a Mutual OEM Agreement effective September 19, 2000. Disputes arose related to the relationship between the parties and Smart Online filed a lawsuit in North Carolina. Sagent filed a lawsuit in California and Smart Online filed a Cross-complaint in the California action. The parties entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement effective July 16, 2002, which terminated the relationship between the parties and waived and released all disputes without any cost to either party. 
        In connection with a dispute that arose with certain consultants over Sagent's
operations in Brazil, in October 2002 Sagent entered into a Settlement Agreement
with the Brazilian consultants and their consulting company. The consultants had
filed a lawsuit against Sagent. The Settlement Agreement calls for Sagent to pay
$400,000 to the consultants in full settlement of all claims, at which time the
lawsuit will be dismissed. Sagent accrued the settlement amount as of September
30, 2002, and paid it 
in October 2002, and Company expects the lawsuit to be dismissed shortly.
        In early 2000, the Company entered into a software license agreement with Mountain Energy Corporation ("MEC").  MEC filed for bankruptcy in October 2000.  The Company recently received a letter from the MEC bankruptcy trustee alleging that the Company had recently received certain preferential payment and demanding that the Company disgorge those payments.  The amount in controversy is approximately $1,040,000.

NOTE 6.    RESTRUCTURING COSTS 
       In December 2001, Sagent implemented a restructuring plan aimed at
streamlining the underlying cost structure to better position Sagent for growth
and improved operating results. As part of the restructuring plan, Sagent
consolidated the Florida facility and implemented a reduction in workforce of
approximately 14% or 51 employees and contractors through March 31, 2002.

During the second quarter of 2002, Sagent implemented a new restructuring plan
to be executed during the three months ended September 30, 2002. The major
element of the restructuring plan was to terminate certain employees; as a
result, Sagent had a reduction in force by approximately 29% or 74 employees,
which brought Sagent's total headcount to
184 worldwide. The reductions came from all areas of the Company, and the terminations were
substantially completed by September 30, 2002. Sagent's
Chief Executive Officer and President and its Executive Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer stepped down as part of this restructuring. Further, Sagent
decided to proceed with closing its Brazil office and discontinuing its
marketing services due to  changes in the strategy of the Company. The purpose of the restructuring was to bring operating expenses in line with net revenues with the goal of achieving cash flow breakeven in the near future and strategically focusing the Company on its core business.

We incurred
$4.9 million restructuring and related charges for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002.
As of September 30, 2002, the remaining restructuring accrual is summarized as follow:

|                                       | Severance | Lease termination costs | Total

consist of $1,152 from the forgiveness and impairment of loans to a former
executive, $912 in stock compensation from the acceleration of vesting for a terminated executive, and $25 impairment of property and equipment. Sagent expects to pay the remaining accrued balance within the next four quarters.

NOTE 7.    NET LOSS PER SHARE
        The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 9,779 and 8,105 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 9,357 and 8,171 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



NOTE 8.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
    Agreements and Arrangement with previous Chief Executive Officer and President
        In August 2000, we entered into an employment agreement with our President and Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement provides that he would receive, among other things,
the following two loans:

1. an interest-free $750 loan for use towards the purchase of a home, which  would be forgiven over a period of five years provided he continued to be employed with us (or upon his termination without cause), and
2. a $2,000 loan for use towards the purchase of a home bearing simple
  interest at a rate of 5% per year and maturing in five years. On November 12, 2001, his employment agreement
  was amended whereby the Company agreed to forgive $282 of the principal of this loan in exchange for him foregoing the payment of guaranteed bonus, which was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The Executive's
employment with the Company terminated effective August 31, 2002. Sagent forgave
the first loan for $750 upon termination of the Executive's employment in
accordance with his employment agreement, which is included in restructuring
charges in the
Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2002.  The principal and interest under the second loan as of September 30, 2002
is $1,898 which is due in August 2005, and is included in the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2002,  at
the estimated recoverable value based on the separation agreement  and change of  employment status.
        In May 2000, we entered into a letter
agreement with our former Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration,
and Chief Financial Officer. The letter agreement provides that our previous
Chief Financial Officer would receive, among other things, a $400 loan for use
towards the purchase of a home bearing interest at a rate of 7.5% per year and
maturing in five years. During 2001, Sagent forgave a total of $316 of the principal and interest,
which is included in general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2002, $133 in unpaid principal and interest was outstanding under the loan.  Agreements and Arrangements with Directors
        Sagent recognized revenues of $0 and
$65 for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2002 from licenses
sold to an entity for which Sagent's former Chairman served as a member of its Board of Directors. A member of Sagent's
Board of Directors is also an officer of an entity from which Sagent recorded
a total contract value of $0 and $870 for the three and nine months
periods ended September 30, 2002.

NOTE 9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT
        On October 24, 2002, Sagent entered into an agreement with CDC Software Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of chinadotcom corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), pursuant to which CDC Software will make secured loans to Sagent of up to $7 million in the aggregate.  The loans will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.  The principal amount of each loan will be payable in full two years after the date such loan is made.  The loan will be secured by all of Sagent's assets, both tangible and intangible.  Sagent will use the proceeds from the loans for working capital and general corporate purposes. As part of this agreement, CDC Software will receive warrants to purchase up to 8 million shares of Sagent's common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.
In addition, certain financial advisors may receive warrants to purchase up to
400,000 shares of Sagent 's common stock at $0.10 per share. The agreement also contemplates that Sagent and CDC Software will work in good faith to develop a commercial relationship whereby CDC Software may sell Sagent's software, whether as distributor, OEM
partner, or as part of a joint venture.
        On October 31, 2002, Sagent and CDC Software closed on the first $5 million of the total loan facility.  The net proceeds to Sagent from the $5 million loan, after payment of expenses, was approximately $4.6 million. In connection with this loan, Sagent issued to CDC Software a warrant to purchase 5.7 million shares of Sagent's
common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. The estimated fair value of the
warrants of $1.2 million will be charged to interest expense over the term of the loan. The principal amount of the loan is
payable in full on October 31, 2004.

Copies of our reports filed with the SEC are available from us without charge and on the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the other information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in our company or to maintain or increase your investment. OVERVIEW 
        We provide business intelligence (BI) solutions that enable enterprises to win, retain, and grow new customers and improve operational effectiveness. We develop, market, and support products and services that help businesses collect, analyze, understand, and act on customer and operational information both in batch and in real-time. Our products and services provide a way for an organization's employees, customers, and partners to use the Internet to examine the internal data they already have and to supplement that data with external, value-added information such as demographic, geographic, or other content and data feeds. We refer to our products as business intelligence solutions because they enable organizations to rapidly make more informed, intelligent decisions and to spread that ability across the enterprise. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

- Revenue recognition
- Valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill
- Consolidation of Sagent's international operations
- Valuation allowances
- Contingent Liabilities

Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. 
    Revenue recognition
        Sagent sells its software products directly to our customers and through channel partners such as enterprise software vendors, resellers and distributors. Enterprise software vendors generally integrate our products with their applications and will embed them into their products or resell them with their products. Our other channel partners, principally resellers and distributors, sell our software products to end user customers. 
        Sagent derives its revenue from license fees for software products and fees for services relating to the software products, including consulting, training, software and data updates, technical support and real-time marketing services over the Internet. 
        Sagent recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended by SOP 98-4 and 98-9 and generally recognize revenue when, all of the following criteria are met as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) delivery has occurred, 3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and 4) collectability is probable. We define each of the four criteria above as follows: 
        Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists - It is our customary practice to have a written contract, which is signed by both the customer and Sagent. 
        Delivery has occurred - Our software may be either physically or electronically delivered to the customer. If undelivered products or services exist in an arrangement that are essential to the functionality of the delivered product, delivery is not considered to have occurred until these products or services are delivered. 
        The fee is fixed or determinable - Arrangement fees are generally due within six months or less. Arrangements with payment terms extending beyond these customary payments terms are considered neither to be fixed nor determinable, and revenue from such arrangements is recognized as payments become due. 
        Collectability is probable - Collectability is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis.  Sagent assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customers and their credit worthiness. New customers are subjected to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer's financial positions and ultimately their ability to pay.  Sagent obtains and reviews credit reports from the third-party credit reporting agencies for new customers with which it is not familiar. If Sagent determines that collection of a fee is not probable, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash. The determination regarding the probability of collection ultimately relies on management judgment. If changes in conditions cause management to determine that this criteria is not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected. 
        Revenue for transactions with enterprise application vendors, OEMs, and distributors is generally recognized when the licenses are resold or utilized by the reseller and all related obligations on our part have been satisfied. However, if the contract stipulates a non-refundable royalty payment to be paid in advance of any resale, revenue is recognized upon execution of the contract, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Sagent reports the revenue generated through distributors based on FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19 on a gross basis only if it acts as the principal in the transaction and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns. In these cases Sagent reflects the distributors' fees under sales and marketing expenses. If the above conditions do not exist, Sagent records revenue based on the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to the customer less the amount paid to the distributor.) 
        We allocate revenue on software arrangements involving multiple elements to the delivered element using the residual method. Our determination of the fair value of the undelivered elements in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). We have analyzed all of the elements included in our multiple-element arrangements and determined that we have sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to maintenance, professional services and data services components of our license arrangements. We sell our data and professional services separately, and have established VSOE on this basis. We have also established VSOE for maintenance services for arrangements less than $1 million through selling such services separately. VSOE for maintenance services for arrangements greater than $1 million is determined based upon the customer's contractual annual renewal rates. Accordingly, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from licenses is recognized upon delivery using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9, and revenue from data, maintenance and professional services are recognized ratably over their respective terms. 
        Sagent usually licenses its software products on a perpetual basis. If vendor specific objective evidence does not exist to allocate the total fee to all delivered and undelivered elements of the arrangement, revenue is deferred until the earlier of a) such evidence does exist for the undelivered elements, or b) all elements are delivered. Where software license contracts call for payment terms of six months or more from the date of delivery, revenue is recognized as payments become due and all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied. 
        Sagent's customers generally require consulting and implementation services which include evaluating their business needs, identifying the data sources necessary to meet these needs and installing the software solution in a manner that fulfills their needs. When licenses are sold together with consulting and implementation services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that a) the above revenue recognition criteria are met, b) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon performance of the consulting services, and c) the services do not include significant alterations to the features and functionality of the software. To date, services have not been essential to the functionality of the software products for substantially all software agreements. 
        Maintenance contracts generally call for us to provide technical support and software updates and upgrades to customers. Maintenance revenue is recognized over the term of the maintenance contract when all revenue recognition requirements are met. Other service revenue, primarily training and consulting, is generally recognized at the time the service is performed and when it is determined that we have fulfilled our obligations resulting from the services contract.  Valuation of long-lived assets
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" became effective in 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we have ceased to amortize any goodwill starting January 1, 2002. In lieu of amortization, we are required to perform impairment reviews of our goodwill. Sagent assesses the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 
        In addition to the annual review of goodwill required by SFAS No. 142, the following factors could trigger an impairment review:

- Changes in economic and industry trends
- Changes in the strategies of the company in sales and marketing and research and development
- Changes in projected future operating results
- Changes in the mode of operations and the exit from facilities
- Significant decline in Sagent's stock price for a significant period of time.

When Sagent determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets or goodwill may not be recoverable based upon any of the above indicators of impairment, Sagent measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. If the assumptions we use to determine the valuation of these long-lived assets proved to be wrong, we may be required to record impairment charges to the carrying value of these assets in future periods.  Consolidation of Sagent's international operations 
        We have several international subsidiaries that accounted for 36% of our total net revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2002, 21% of our total assets and 19% of our total liabilities as of September 30, 2002. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The functional currency is determined based on management judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures would be considered the functional currency but any dependency upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary's operations must also be considered. Sagent translates the assets and liabilities of
its international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the current rates of
exchange in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are included in stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet caption "Accumulated other comprehensive
(loss) income." 
        Accordingly, we had a cumulative
translation loss of $0.6 million and  a cumulative translation gain of $0.02 million as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively. Had we determined that the functional currency of our subsidiaries was the U.S. dollar, these losses would have increased our loss for each of the periods presented. The magnitude of these losses is dependent upon movements in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which we transact business against the United States dollar. These currencies include the following:

- U.K.	  	British             
    Pound
- Japan	  	Japanese        
    Yen
- Germany                  
    Euro
- France                     
    Euro
- Australia                  
    Australian Dollar
- Brazil	  	Brazilian         
    Real
- Benelux                   
    Euro
- Mexico                    
    Mexican Peso
- Asia Pacific              
    Singapore Dollar

Any future translation gains and losses could be significantly higher than those noted in each of these periods if the international business continues to grow. In addition, if we determine that a change in the functional currency of our subsidiaries has occurred at any point in time, we would be required to include any translation gains or losses from the date of change in our statement of operations. 
    Valuation allowances
        The preparation of financial statements requires Sagent's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. 
        Sagent evaluates the collectability of its trade receivables based on a combination of factors. When we become aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including length of time the receivables are past due and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further reduced. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.7 million as of September 30, 2002 and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2001. For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2002, Sagent recovered  $0.1 million from bad debt expense and recognized $0.6 million of bad debt expense, respectively.  If events arise that may cause our customers' ability to pay, we evaluate the need to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts based on an assessment of the probability of collection. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts against specific customer balances outstanding to determine the adequacy of the allowance. To the extent economic and market events cause the financial ability of our customers with outstanding balances to deteriorate; we may be required to record additional provisions for doubtful accounts in the future periods. 
        Sagent has a 90 days warranty for any defects in the products that it sells to customers. Sagent has not provided any allowances for returns since historically we have not had any material returns due to defects. If due to certain circumstances, we receive sales returns from customers due to defective materials shipped, then we may be required to record additional expenses in the future periods. 
        Sagent records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is likely to be realized. Sagent has not reflected any deferred tax assets in its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2002. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, and if it were determined that we would be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period in which such determination was made. Likewise, if we determined that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, and adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period in which such determination was made. 
    Contingent Liabilities
        Sagent's current estimated range of liability related to some of the pending litigation is based on claims for which we can reasonably estimate the amount and range of loss. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and range of loss on the remaining pending litigation, Sagent is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the liability that could result from unfavorable outcome. As additional information becomes available, we will assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and revise our estimates. Such revisions in our estimates of the potential liability could materially impact our results of operation and financial position. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Amount in thousands)

Revenue
        Total revenue decreased by 23% to
$8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $11.4 million
for the corresponding period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, total revenue decreased by 14% to $29.3 million from $34.3 million for the corresponding period in 2001. The slowing global economy resulted in continued lengthening of the enterprise sales cycle and deferral of
information technology (IT) spending further contributed to the lower license and professional services revenue. 
        License revenue declined by 22% to
$4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.9 million for
the corresponding period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
license revenue declined by 11% to $15.4 million from $17.3 million for the
corresponding period in 2001.The decline was mainly attributed to a reduction in
the number and size of the deals closed during the three and nine months periods
ended September 30, 2002. Uncertainty in global economic conditions continues to
make it difficult to predict our product demand. We expect seasonal trends
to continue throughout the next few quarters, and license revenue will remain
flat or grow modestly. Sagent had a restructuring during the three months period
ended September 30, 2002, and as part of this restructuring, there were management
changes at the executive level and sales force turnover. This reorganization
impacted the performance of our sales force in the United States and Asia
Pacific during the three months ended September 30, 2002, and delayed the closure of several transactions.  In any quarter, a few large license transactions at the end of the quarter may account for a substantial amount of our license revenue. If a customer or potential customer cancels or does not enter into an anticipated large transaction, or delays the transaction beyond the end of the quarter, our financial results may be materially adversely affected. 
        Service revenue declined by 24% to $4.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 from $5.6 million for the corresponding period in 2001.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, service revenue declined by 18% to $13.9 million from $16.9 million for the corresponding period in 2001.

|Total service revenue | $4,265                           | $5,588                        



Maintenance revenue increased by 3% to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.7 million for the corresponding period in 2001. For the nine months
      ended September 30, 2002, maintenance revenue increased by 11% to $8.6
      million from $7.7 million for the corresponding period in 2001.The
      increases of $0.01 and $0.9 million in maintenance revenue during the
      three and nine months periods ending September 30, 2002, respectively,
      were primarily due to new licenses and an increased effort to renew the
      maintenance agreements within our existing customer base. 
              Professional services declined by 49% to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.9 million for the corresponding period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, professional services declined 43% to $5.3 million from $9.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Decreases in professional services revenue of $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months periods ending September 30, 2002, respectively, were due to declines in consulting and training services attributed to a slowdown in the economy and a decline in new license revenue in previous quarters. Sagent had a restructuring during the period ended September 30, 2002, as part of this restructuring, we reduced the headcount of professional services by 15. This reduction in headcount will improve the productivity and gross margin in the long run; however, it also causes a decline in the professional services revenue.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated outside the United States. Our international revenue was 36% of total revenue or $3.1 million and 32% or $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing a decline of $0.5 million or 14%. The decline in international revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2002 was mainly attributable to restructuring efforts in our subsidiaries including a reduction in their headcounts from 85 to 72
and the decision to close our Sagent Brazil office. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, our international revenue was 37% of total revenue or $11.0
million and 27% or $9.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001,
representing an increase of $1.7 million or 19%. This increase is attributed
mainly to expansion of our international operations as well as stronger overseas
market demand for our products. A significant portion of our total revenue is
currently derived from international sales and therefore subject to its related
risks, including general economic conditions in each country, the strength of
international competitors, different tax structures, difficulty of managing an
organization spread over various countries, changes in regulatory requirements,
compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, longer payment
cycles, and the volatility of exchange rates in certain countries. A significant portion of
our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the
effect of exchange rates on our total revenues was immaterial during the three
and nine months periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Foreign exchange rates will continue to affect our total revenue and results of operations depending on the U.S. dollar strengthening or weakening relative to foreign currencies. Unfavorable changes in each country's general economic and political environment or foreign exchange rates may have a material adverse impact on our total revenue and results of operations. 
    Cost of Revenue
        Cost of revenue from license sales
consists primarily of royalties, product packaging, shipping, media, and
documentation. Our cost of revenue for license sales was $0.3 million and $1.6
million, representing 7% and 27% of license revenue, for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our cost of revenue for license sales
was $1.4 million and $3.3 million, representing 9% and 19% of license revenue,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our cost of
license revenue decreased over the same period of the prior year as a result of
discontinuation of providing product documentation in a hard copy format thereby
reducing the applicable costs by $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three and
nine months periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We have been providing our customers with soft copy online documentation effective January 1, 2002. The cost of licensed technology decreased by $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decline in the cost of licensed technology is due to the impairment of our obsolete technology licenses in the previous quarters that we no longer intended to use. 
        Cost of service consists primarily of personnel costs associated with providing software maintenance, technical support, training and consulting services. Our cost of service revenue declined by 31% to $1.7 million, representing 41% of service revenue, for the three months period ended September 30, 2002 from $2.5 million, representing 45% of service revenue, for the corresponding period in 2001. Our cost of service revenue declined by 29% to $6.1 million, representing 44% of service revenue, for the nine months  ended September 30, 2002 from $8.5 million, representing 50% of service revenue, for the corresponding period in 2001. The decline was mainly attributed to the outsourcing of marketing services during the period ended September 30, 2002, and a reduction in salary related expenditures of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to a reduction in headcount from 42 to 25, and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to a headcount reduction from 46 to 25. 
        Further, during the three months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.2 million related to purchased technology that we no longer expect to utilize in the future.  Gross Margin
        Gross margins increased to 77% for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 64% for the corresponding period
in 2001. For the nine months period ended September 30, 2002, the gross margin
increased to 70% from 65% for the corresponding period in 2001. The increase was
mainly due to improved gross margins for both license and service sales, as discussed in previous paragraphs, and partially due the mix of revenue and a higher percentage of license revenue to services revenue. 
        Our service revenues have a substantially lower margin than our product license revenues, and an increase in service revenues relative to license revenues could harm our gross margins.  Sales and Marketing
        Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation, travel, marketing programs, and branch facilities. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 42% to $5.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 from $10.1 million for the corresponding period in
2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, sales and marketing expenses decreased by 29% to $20.0 million from $28.3 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales and marketing expenses represent 66% and 88% of total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 68% and 83% of total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the decline of $4.3 million is primarily attributable to $2.6 million decrease in salary related expenses due to a reduction in headcount from 131 to
97, a decrease in marketing related programs for $0.4 million, and a decrease in
travel related expenditures of $0.3 million. For the nine months ended September
30, 2002, the decline of $8.3 million is primarily attributable to a decrease in
salary related expenses of $4.3 million due to a reduction in headcount from 169
to 97, and a decrease in marketing related programs of $1.0 million, and a decrease in travel related expenditures of $0.6 million.  Research and Development
        Research and development expenses
consist primarily of personnel and related costs associated with the development
of new products, enhancement and localization of existing products, quality
assurance testing, and facilities. Research and development expenses decreased
by $0.7 million to $2.6 million for the three months period ended September 30,
2002 from $3.3 million for the corresponding period in 2001. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, research and development expenses declined by $1.4
million to $9.3 million from $10.7 million for the corresponding period in 2001.
Research and development expenses represent 29% of total net revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and 32% and 31% of total net
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decline of $0.7 million and $1.4 million during the three and nine months periods ending September 30, 2002, respectively, is mainly attributable to a reduction in salary and employee related costs due to a reduction in headcount from 61 to 45 for the three months and from 64 to 45 for the nine months
periods ended September 30, 2002, and other cost cutting measures that took effect during such periods.  General and Administrative
        General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for finance, human resources, information systems and general management, as well as legal, accounting and bad debt expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.5 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $3.9 million for the corresponding period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative expenses decreased by $5.4 million to $4.0 million from $9.4 million for the corresponding period in 2001. General and administrative expenses represent 16% and 34% of total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 13% and 27% of total net revenue for the nine months  ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the three months  ended September 30, 2002, the decline of $2.5 million is primarily due to a reduction of $1.5 million in bad debt
expense, $0.3 million reduction in facility related costs, and $0.5 million decrease in personnel and related costs due to a reduction in headcount from 24 to
17.  For the nine months  ended September 30, 2002, the decline of $5.4 million is primarily due to a reduction of $1.6 million in bad debt expense, $0.9 million reduction in facility related costs,
and a $1.3 million decline in personnel and related costs due to a reduction in headcount from 31 to
17.  Asset Impairments
        For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, Sagent incurred asset impairment charges of  $1.0 million, consisted of $0.7 million impairment in goodwill and $0.3 million reserve on shareholders' notes due to decline in fair market value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the asset impairment charge of $1.6 million consisted of  $0.3 million reduction in the carrying value of goodwill, $1.2 million impairment of prepayments for data center services, and $0.1 million of other losses related to the closing of a remote facility.  Restructuring Costs
        In December 2001, Sagent implemented
a restructuring plan aimed at streamlining the underlying cost structure to
better position Sagent for growth and improved operating results. As part of the
restructuring plan, Sagent consolidated the Florida facility and implemented a
reduction in workforce of approximately 14% or 51 employees and contractors
through March 31, 2002. During the second quarter of 2002, Sagent implemented a
new restructuring plan to be executed during the three months ended September
30, 2002. The major element of the restructuring plan was to terminate certain
employees; as a result, Sagent had a reduction in force by approximately 29% or
74 employees, which brought Sagent's total headcount to 184 worldwide. The reduction came from all areas of the Company, and the terminations were completed by September 30, 2002. Sagent's
Chief Executive Officer and President and its Executive Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer stepped down as part of this restructuring. Further, Sagent
decided to proceed with closing its Brazil office and discontinuation of its
marketing services due to the changes in the strategy of the Company. The purpose of the restructuring was to bring operating expenses in line with net revenues with the goal of achieving cash flow breakeven in the near future and strategically focusing the Company on its core business. We incurred $4.9 million in restructuring and related charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, consisting primarily of personnel and facility related costs. Sagent paid $1.3 million for the period ended September 30, 2002, $1.5 million will be paid in the next four quarters, and the remaining $2.1 million consisting of non-cash charges was primarily related to
$1.2 million from forgiveness and impairment of loans to executive and $0.9
million in stock compensation from the acceleration of vesting for certain
terminated executive. As part of this restructuring, Sagent reduced its total headcount
worldwide to 177, as of October 31, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
        As of September 30, 2002, Sagent's principal source of liquidity consisted of $5.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $0.8 million restricted cash in the form of a money market account and certificate of deposit. Since inception, we have funded our operations partially through private sales of equity securities, the use of equipment leases and the initial public offering of our common stock in April 1999. 
        Net cash used in operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $8.2 million, which primarily funded our ongoing operations. 
       Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million, which primarily was due to the collection of notes due from shareholders of $0.4 million, offset by $0.1 million in fixed asset purchases. 
        Net cash used in financing activities was $1.8 million, which primarily funded the payment of our capital lease obligations. 
       Accounts receivable decreased by 41% as of September 30, 2002 compared with December 31, 2001 balance. The decrease was due primarily to lower sales revenue. The Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was at 110 as of September 30, 2002 compared with 106 for the corresponding period in 2001. Sagent calculates its DSO on a "net" basis by dividing the average accounts receivable at the beginning and the end of the quarter by the revenue recognized net of changes in deferred revenue for the quarter multiplied by the number of days during that quarter. 
        The following is a summary of our
future minimum payments under contractual obligations as of September 30, 2002:

|(amount in millions) | Remaining of 2002 | 2003 | 2004 and thereafter | Total
|-------------------- | ----------------- | ---- | ------------------- | -----
|Capital Leases       | $0.4              | $1.4 | $0.1                | $1.9 
|Operating Leases     | 0.7               | 2.1  | 0.7                 | 3.5  
|Purchase obligation  | 0.2               | 0.1  | 0.0                 | 0..3 
|Restructuring        | 1.4               | 0.2  | 0.0                 | 1.6  
|Total                | $2.7              | $3.8 | $0.8                | $7.3 



Sagent has entered into several agreements to finance computer equipment leases. Sagent financed the acquisition of property and equipment, primarily computer hardware and software, and leasehold improvements and furniture totaling $0.1 million and $4.0 million as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, through capital leases. Sagent has also entered into several agreements to lease facilities in California and several other states as well as in other countries in which it has sales operations. Sagent is also under obligation to pay certain maintenance fees to third party vendors. 
              Purchase obligations relate to Sagent's future commitments for technology and a data renewal contract. 
              Restructuring consists of primarily personnel and facility related costs. The purpose of the restructuring was to bring operating expenses in line with net revenues with the goal of achieving cash flow breakeven in the near future and strategically focusing
      the Company on its core business as discussed in Note 6.
              Our ability to grow sales and manage our expenses will have a direct impact on our liquidity and capital resources. Factors that are reasonably likely to impact our ability to maintain or grow Sagent's revenue, are as follows:

- general economic conditions and the information technology spending
  environment;
- the growth or contraction of the enterprise intelligence software market;
- competition from other participants in the enterprise intelligence
  software market;
- our ability to expand our direct and indirect sales channels;
- our ability to maintain and expand our marketing, technology and
  distribution relationships;
- our access to licensed technologies integrated in our products and
  services
- market acceptance of Internet solutions;
- our ability to manage our international expansion;
- our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; and
- our ability to anticipate and respond to technological change.

We believe that our existing cash balances, including the proceeds from the loan referred to in Note 9 to the financial statements above, and any cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months. Thereafter, we may require additional funds to support our operating requirements and may seek, even before such time, to raise additional funds through public or private equity financing, debt financing or other sources. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available at all, or that if available, such financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us and would not result in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will take actions to conserve our cash balances, including significantly reducing our operating expenses, downsizing our staff and closing existing branch offices, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to reduce losses or generate profits. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
              In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity should be recorded when it is incurred, meeting the definition of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, " Elements of Financial Statements", and when its fair value can be measured. SFAS 146 supersedes FASB's Emergency Issues Task Force (EITF ) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring." The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
              Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information about risks, together with the other information contained in this report, before you decide whether to buy our common stock or maintain your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we now believe to be unimportant could also impair our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer significantly. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all of your investment. 
          Our workforce reduction and financial performance may adversely affect the morale and performance of our personnel and our ability to hire new employees.

In connection with our effort to streamline operations, increase revenues, reduce costs and bring our staffing and structure in line with our current and anticipated requirements, we recently realigned our business organization, which included a 29% reduction in workforce as discussed in Note 6. There may be costs associated with the workforce reduction, and our realignment plan may yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond our planned reduction in staff. In addition, our common stock has recently declined in value below the exercise price of many options granted to employees pursuant to our stock option plan. Thus, the intended benefits of the stock option granted to our employees, the creation of performance and retention incentives, may not be realized. 
              In addition, workforce reductions and management changes create anxiety and uncertainty and may adversely affect employee morale. As a result, we may lose employees whom we would prefer to retain. Due to above factors, our remaining personnel may seek employment with larger, more established companies they perceive as having less volatile stock prices. 
          We may need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations.
              Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through sales of equity securities, and not from cash generated by our business. During 2001, we completed two separate private offerings of our common stock. In February 2001, we sold 5.8 million shares of our common stock to a group of private investors, raising approximately $16.1 million in net proceeds. In August 2001, we completed the sale of 9.1 million shares of our common stock to a group of private investors, netting approximately $16.0 million in proceeds. 
              In October 2002, we entered into an agreement with CDC Software Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of chinadotcom corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), pursuant to which CDC Software will make secured loans of up to $7 million in the aggregate.  The loans will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.  The principal amount of each loans will be payable in full two years after the date such loan is made.  The loans will be secured by all of our assets, both tangible and intangible.  As part of this agreement, CDC Software will receive warrants to purchase up to 8 million shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.
      In addition, certain financial advisor may receive warrants to purchase up
      to 400,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. On October 31, 2002, we closed on the first $5 million of the total loan facility.  We expect to close on the remaining $2 million of the total loan amount on or prior to December 31, 2002.
              Although we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and any net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months, a revenue shortfall could require us to reduce operations or raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. We cannot assure you any equity or debt financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all, or that if available, such financing will not be dilutive to our stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will take actions to conserve our cash balances, including significantly reducing our operating expenses, downsizing our staff and closing existing branch offices, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and our ability to reduce losses or generate profits.  Variations in our quarterly operating results due to such factors as changes in demand for our products and changes in our mix of revenues may cause our stock price to decline.
              We expect our quarterly
      operating results to fluctuate. We therefore believe that
      quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be a good
      indication of our future performance, and you should not rely on them to
      predict our future performance or the future performance of our stock
      price. Our short-term expense levels are relatively fixed and are based on
      our expectations of future revenues. As a result, a reduction in revenue
      in a quarter may harm our operating results for that quarter. In the past,
      our operating results have fallen below the expectations of market
      analysts and investors. If we fall short of market expectations in future
      quarters, the price of our common stock may fall. Factors that may cause
      our operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly basis are as follows:

- varying size, timing and contractual terms of orders for our products;
- lengthy sales cycles associated with our products;
- changes in the mix of revenue attributable to higher-margin product
  license revenue as opposed to lower-margin service revenue;
- customers' decisions to defer orders or implementations, particularly
  large orders or implementations, from one quarter to the next;
- announcements or introductions of new products by our competitors;
- our ability to hire, train and retain sufficient engineering, consulting,
  training and sales staff; and
- subcontracting to more expensive consulting organizations to help provide
  implementation, support and training services when our own capacity is
  constrained.

A slowing economy and reductions in information technology spending may negatively affect our revenues.
              Our revenues may be negatively affected by the increasingly uncertain economic conditions both in the market generally and in our industry. If the economy continues to slow, some companies may reduce their budgets for spending on information technology and business software. As a consequence, our sales cycle may become longer with some customers, and other prospective customers may postpone, reduce, or even forego the purchase of our products and services, which could negatively affect our revenues.

We have transferred from the Nasdaq National Market to the SmallCap Market, and we may be subject to delisting altogether.
      
              In August 2002, we received a notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market that we are out of compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). Therefore, our common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq National Market.   We determined to transition to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, which would extend the period for which we would be able to regain compliance with the minimum price requirement.  In September 2002, Nasdaq informed us that it has approved our application to list Sagent's common stock on the Nasdaq small Cap Market.  In November 2002, Nasdaq
      notified us that we met the initial listing criteria for the SmallCap
      Market, other than minimum bid price, and that we have until May 6, 2003
      to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. We may pursue
      a reverse stock-split or other measures in an effort to regain compliance.
              In the event our shares are delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we will attempt to have our common stock traded on the Nasdaq
      Over-The Counter Bulletin Board. If our common stock is delisted, it would seriously limit the liquidity of our common stock and impair our potential to raise future capital through the sale of our common stock, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Delisting could also reduce the ability of holders of our common stock to purchase or sell shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically, and may have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. Delisting could also adversely affect relationships with vendors and customers.  We restated a portion of our financial results for 2001.
              On November 28, 2001, we announced that we were revising our reported revenues for the first nine months of 2001, as a result of an internal investigation into the validity of sales orders to various government agencies. Our investigation confirmed that sales orders totaling approximately $5 million booked by one of our employees were forged. As a result, we filed Form 10-Q/A's for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001 with financial statements restated to remove the effect of the invalid sales orders.
              As a result of the restatement, Sagent has been named in shareholder lawsuits. These lawsuits could seriously harm our business and financial condition. In particular, the lawsuits could harm our relationships with existing customers and our ability to obtain new customers. The continued defense of the lawsuits also could result in the diversion of our management's time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. Negative developments with respect to the lawsuits could cause our stock price to decline significantly. In addition, although we are unable to determine the amount, if any, that we may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of these lawsuits by settlement or otherwise, the size of any such payment could seriously harm our financial condition. The complaints generally allege that we and the other named defendants made false or misleading statements of material facts about our financial results during 2001. The complaints, in general, do not specify the amount of damages that plaintiffs seek. As a result, we are unable to estimate the possible range of damages that might be incurred as a result of the lawsuits. We have not set aside any financial reserves relating to potential damages associated with any of these lawsuits.  Enterprise intelligence software markets may not grow.
              Since all of our revenues are attributable to the sale of enterprise intelligence software and related maintenance, consulting and training services, if the market for enterprise intelligence software does not grow, our business will not grow. We expect enterprise intelligence software and services to account for substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Although demand for enterprise intelligence software has grown in recent years, the market may not continue to grow or, even if the market does grow, businesses may not adopt our products.  If we fail to expand our direct and indirect sales channels, we will not be able to increase revenues.
              Competition for highly qualified sales personnel is intense, and we may not be able to recruit and maintain the kind and the number of sales personnel we need. Hiring highly qualified customer service and account management personnel is very competitive in the software industry due to the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills and understanding of the space. 
              In order to grow our business, we need to increase market awareness and sales of our products and services. To achieve this goal, we need to increase both our direct and indirect sales channels. If we fail to do so, this failure could harm our ability to increase revenues. We currently receive a significant portion of our revenues from direct sales, but we intend to increase sales through indirect sales channels in the future. 
              We intend to derive revenues from indirect sales channels by selling our software through value-added resellers (VARs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These VARs and OEMs offer our software products to their customers together with consulting and implementation services or integrate our software solutions with other software. Our ability to increase our revenues is dependent on entering into relationships with these VARs and OEMs. 
              We expect as part of our strategy to increase international sales principally through both direct and indirect sales. Our ability to develop and maintain direct and indirect channels will significantly affect our ability to penetrate international markets.  Pending litigation could harm our business.
              During the last two years, Sagent has been the subject of several shareholder lawsuits, which are still pending. In addition, the members of our board of directors have been the subjects of derivate lawsuits alleging breaches of their fiduciary duties to Sagent. More recently, as the result of the restatement by Sagent of its financial results for portions of 2001, Sagent has been named in additional shareholder lawsuits. These lawsuits could seriously harm our business and financial condition. In particular, the lawsuits could harm our relationships with existing customers and our ability to obtain new customers. The continued defense of the lawsuits could also result in the diversion of our management's time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. The lawsuits could also have the effect of discouraging potential acquirers from bidding for us or reducing the consideration they would otherwise be willing to pay in connection with an acquisition. In addition, although we are unable to determine the amount, if any, that we may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of these lawsuits by settlement or otherwise, the size of any such payment could seriously harm our financial condition.  We have a relatively new management team and there is no guarantee that they will be successful in growing our business.
              Our management team has not been with us for a significant length of time. In July 2002, Ben Barnes, our President and Chief Executive Officer stepped down, and Andre Boisvert, our Chairman, assumed the role of Interim CEO. Also in July 2002, Steven R. Springsteel, our Chief Financial Officer, was appointed to serve the additional role of Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Springsteel, our Chief Financial Officer, joined us in November 2001. These employees serve "at-will" and may elect to pursue other opportunities at any time. If our management team is unable to work effectively together to accomplish our business objectives, our ability to grow our business could be severely impaired.  Recent terrorist and military activities could adversely affect our business.

The terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001 disrupted commerce throughout the United States and Europe. In response to such attacks, the United States is actively using military force to pursue those behind these attacks and initiating broader actions against global terrorism. The continued threat of terrorism within the United States and Europe, the escalation of military action and heightened security measures in response to such further threats may cause significant disruption to commerce throughout the world. To the extent that such disruptions result in further reductions in capital expenditures or spending on information technology, longer sales cycles, deferral or delay of customer orders, or an inability to effectively market our products, our revenues would decline, which would materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

General economic conditions may harm our business.

We have become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic and political conditions. Because of the recent economic slowdown in the United States and in Europe, and the terrorist events of September 11, companies in many industries are delaying or reducing technology purchases. We experienced the impact of the September 11 events in the third and fourth quarters of 2001 and the recent economic slowdown in 2001 and the three quarters of 2002 with reductions in capital expenditures by our end-user customers, longer sales cycles, deferral or delay of purchase commitments for our products and increased price competition. As a result, if the current economic conditions in the U.S. and Europe continue or worsen, or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, we may fall short of our revenue expectations for the fourth quarter of 2002 or for the entire year. These conditions would negatively affect our business and results of operations.

If we do not keep pace with technological change, our products may be rendered obsolete and our business may fail.
              Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and emerging industry standards. In order to achieve broad customer acceptance, our products must be compatible with major software and e-commerce applications and operating systems. We must continually modify and enhance our products to keep pace with changes in these applications and systems. If our products were to be incompatible with popular new systems or applications, our business would be significantly harmed. In addition, the development of entirely new technologies replacing existing software could lead to new competitive products that have better performance or lower prices than our products and could render our products obsolete. 
              Delays or problems in the installation or implementation of our new releases may cause customers to forego purchases of our products to purchase those of our competitors.  Our markets are highly competitive and competition could harm our ability to sell products and services and reduce our market share.
              Competition could seriously harm our ability to sell additional software and maintenance and support renewals on prices and terms favorable to us. Additionally, if we cannot compete effectively, we may lose market share. The markets for our products are intensely competitive and subject to rapidly changing technology. We compete against providers of decision support software, data warehousing software and enterprise application software. We also compete with providers of e-Business software, which allows for the electronic delivery of products and services that enable commerce among businesses and end users. Companies in each of these areas may expand their technologies or acquire companies to support greater enterprise intelligence functionality and capability, particularly in the areas of query response time and the ability to support large numbers of users. We may also face competition from vendors of products and turnkey solutions for e-Business applications that include Internet based information functionality. 
              Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources, or greater name recognition than we do. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.  We rely, in part, on equity incentives to attract and retain employees, and the performance of our stock price may impair our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
              The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially since our initial public offering in April 1999, and has experienced a significant decline since the first quarter of 2000. We have relied historically on our ability to attract and retain employees using equity incentives, and any perception by potential or existing employees that our equity incentives are less attractive could harm our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.  We rely on marketing, technology and distribution relationships that may generally be terminated at any time, and if our current and future relationships are not successful, our growth may be limited.
              We rely on marketing and technology relationships with a variety of companies that, in part, generate leads for the sale of our products. These marketing and technology relationships include relationships with:

- system integrators and consulting firms;
- vendors of e-commerce and Internet software;
- vendors of software designed for customer relationship management or for
  management of organizations' operational information;
- vendors of key technology and platforms;
- demographic data providers; and
- an application service provider and an Internet hoster.

If we cannot maintain successful marketing and technology relationships or cannot enter into additional marketing and technology relationships, we may have difficulty expanding the sales of our products and our growth may be limited.  If we lose key licenses we may be required to develop or license alternatives, which may cause delays or reductions in sales.
              We rely on third-party technologies, and if we are unable to use or integrate these technologies, our product and service development may be delayed. 
              Sagent relies on MainWin from MainSoft to deliver the Solaris versions of the Data Load, Data Access, and WebLink Servers. MainWin is the Windows API ported to Sun Solaris. In addition, Visual Basic for Applications has been embedded in Design Studio and Information Studio to allow customization. We rely on interfaces from Microsoft and Crystal Decisions to integrate Microsoft Excel and Crystal Reports as display options in Design Studio, Information Studio, and WebLink. The Opalis Robot from Opalis provides the basis for the Sagent Automation tool. Automation is a dependency-scheduling tool with extensive integration with operating system level tasks. Opalis may not provide a stable Solaris version in the timeframe expected by our customers. The DirectLink for R/3 product we offer to connect to SAP is based on metadata browsing technology and pool table connectivity from Server Enterprises. DirectLink for Mainframes, which provides connectivity to mainframe data sources, is enabled by technologies from Striva and Cross Access.  Failure of commercial users to accept internet solutions could limit our future growth.
              A key element of our strategy is to offer users the ability to access, analyze and report information from a data server through a Web browser. Our growth may be limited if businesses do not accept Internet solutions or perceive them to be cost-effective. Continued viability of the Internet depends on several factors,
      some of these factors are as follows:

- Third parties' abilities to develop new enabling technologies in a timely
  manner;
- The Internet's ability to handle increased activity;
- The Internet's ability to operate as a fast, reliable and secure network;
  and
- Potential changes in government regulation.

Moreover, critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet, including data corruption, cost, ease of use, accessibility and quality of service, remain unresolved and may negatively affect commerce and communication on the Internet. These issues will need to be addressed in order for the market for our products and services to grow.  We have expanded our international operations but may encounter a number of problems in managing overseas operations, which could limit our future growth.
        We may not be able to successfully
market, sell, deliver and support our products and services internationally. Our
failure to manage our international operations effectively could limit the
future growth of our business. International sales represented approximately 36%
and 37% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002. We conduct our international sales through local subsidiaries in the
United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, the Benelux regions,
Australia and the Asia/Pacific and through distributor relationships in South
Africa and Italy. We are currently in the process of closing our Brazil office
due to changes in our strategy. We expect this process to be completed by the end of 2002. The expansion of our existing international operations and entry into additional international markets will require management attention and significant financial resources. Because of the significant growth in international business, we benefit overall from a weaker dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may unfavorably affect our consolidated sales and net income.  We have been, and may be subject to future, intellectual property infringement claims.
        We may be subject, from time to time, to claims that we are infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Any litigation regarding intellectual property rights may be costly to defend or settle, and may divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. The complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property litigation increase these risks. Claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. In December 2000, we settled an infringement claim brought by Timeline, Inc. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid Timeline $600,000 and issued 600,000 shares of our common stock to Timeline. We may be subject to similar or more costly claims in the future or may become subject to an injunction against use of our products. A successful claim of patent or other intellectual property infringement against us would have an immediate material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, this inability could weaken our competitive position, reduce our revenue and increase our costs.
        Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position may be harmed. 
        Other software providers could copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization. They also could develop similar technology independently which may infringe our proprietary rights. We may not be able to detect infringement and may lose a competitive position in the market before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States.  If we discover software defects we may have product-related liabilities, which may lead to loss of revenue or delay in market acceptance for our products.
        Our software products are internally complex and may contain errors, defects or failures, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. We test our products extensively prior to releasing them; however, in the past we have discovered software errors in some of our products after their introduction. Despite extensive testing, we may not be able to detect and correct errors in products or releases before commencing commercial shipments, which may result in loss of revenue or delays in market acceptance. 
        Our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. All domestic and international jurisdictions may not enforce these limitations. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to date, we may encounter such claims in the future. Product liability claims, whether or not successful, brought against us could divert the attention of management and key personnel and could be expensive to defend.  We have anti-takeover defenses that could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company.
        Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, other agreements and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our board of directors could choose not to negotiate with an acquirer that it did not feel was in the strategic interests of our company. If the acquirer was discouraged from offering to acquire us, or prevented from successfully completing a hostile acquisition by the anti-takeover measures, you could lose the opportunity to sell your shares at a favorable price.



Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
        The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors including those set forth in "Risk Factors That May Affect Results". INTEREST RATE RISK 
        Our exposure to market risk related to changes in interest rates is primarily due to our highly liquid investments. We do not use derivative financial instruments. The primarily objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. Our investments consist primarily of highly liquid investments and certificate of deposits. Due to the nature of our investments, we believe that there is no material risk exposure. All investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, we had $6.0 and $16.3 million, respectively, in cash equivalents and restricted cash. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
        A high percentage of operations are based in the United States, and, accordingly, the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars. However, we do have foreign-based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to exchange rate risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. Currently, we have operations throughout Asia, Asia Pacific, Europe, Australia, Middle East, South Africa and Latin America and conduct transactions in the local currency of each location. To date, the impact of any fluctuation in the relative value of other currencies has not been material due to relative size of the operation. However, we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot assure you that exchange rate fluctuations will not harm our business in the future. An increase in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products less competitive in international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations and, when appropriate, may use economic hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we can make no assurances that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future. Through September 30, 2002, the Company had not engaged in foreign currency hedging activities. EQUITY PRICE RISK
        We do not own any significant public equity investments. Therefore, we believe we are not currently exposed to any direct equity price risk.



Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
        Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c)) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days before the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(b)  Changes in internal controls. 
        Subsequent to the Evaluation Date, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls.  As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
         From time to time, the Company
has been subject to litigation including the pending litigation described below.
Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and range of loss on the
pending litigation, management is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the
liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome. As additional
information becomes available, the Company will assess its potential liability
and revise its estimates. Pending or future litigation could be costly, could
cause the diversion of management's attention and could upon resolution, have a
material adverse affect on our business, result of operations, financial
condition and cash flow. 
        In addition, the Company is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to our normal business activities and believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, result of operations or cash flow. 
        From October 20, 2000 to November 27, 2000, several class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court on behalf of the individual investors who purchased Company common stock between October 21, 1999 and April 18, 2000. The claims allege that the Company misrepresented its prospects for 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Thereafter, the court consolidated the complaints and selected a lead plaintiff and counsel. A consolidated amended complaint was filed in April 2001. Sagent filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On September 28, 2001, the court granted Sagent's motion, and gave the plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint. On December 28, 2001, the class plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. Sagent filed a motion to dismiss that complaint on February 15, 2002. The hearing on Sagent's motion was held on June 3, 2002. On June 5, 2002, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part Sagent's motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. 
        Thereafter, the plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint.  Sagent has moved to strike certain portions of that complaint on the grounds that those particular allegations were dismissed by the Court from the prior complaint. On August 26, 2002, the court sustained Sagent's
motion to strike certain portions of the complaint. Sagent has answered the complaint.  Because certain claims survived the motion to dismiss the prior complaint, and the discovery stay is no longer in effect for those allegations, the parties are engaging in discovery. 
        On November 17, 2000, a derivative lawsuit was filed by a purported Company shareholder in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Mateo (the "Fanucci Complaint"). On February 9, 2001, a second derivative lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara
(the "Hu Complaint"). The complaints name certain of the Company's present and former officers and directors as defendants. The Hu Complaint also names an investment bank retained by the Company and an employee of that investment bank as defendants. The Company has also been named as a nominal defendant in each complaint. The principal allegation of the complaints is that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company through the dissemination of allegedly misleading and inaccurate information and other allegations. In July 2001, the two cases were coordinated for pretrial purposes in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Fanucci Complaint, on the grounds that, among other things, the plaintiff had failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors as required by Delaware law. The officer and director defendants joined in that motion, and also moved to dismiss on the grounds that the complaint fails to allege the asserted causes of action against the individual defendants. Similar motions were filed concerning the Hu Complaint. The parties agreed to stay the Hu Complaint indefinitely, pending the outcome of the Fanucci matter, and the court entered an order staying the Hu Complaint on January 11, 2002. Thereafter, on January 16, 2002, the Fanucci plaintiff filed a motion to transfer and/or remand that case back to the Superior Court for San Mateo County where it was originally filed. The court heard oral arguments on the defendants' motion to dismiss the Fanucci Complaint, and the plaintiffs' transfer motion on January 28, 2002. On March 1, 2002, the court issued an order sustaining the Company's motion to dismiss, granting the plaintiff leave to amend the complaint, denying the plaintiff's motion to transfer and/or remand the Fanucci case to San Mateo County, and ordering the Company to produce a limited quantity of documents to the plaintiff. 
        The Fanucci plaintiff filed an amended complaint in April 2002.  Sagent and the individual defendants each filed a motion to dismiss to that complaint.  The Court heard oral argument on July 9, 2002 and thereafter sustained the motions to dismiss, holding that the nominal plaintiff did not have standing to litigate the complaint where he had failed to make a pre-suit demand on the Company's Board of Directors as required by Delaware law.  The plaintiffs have not filed an amended complaint to date. 
        In October 2001, infoUSA, Inc. filed a complaint against Sagent in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, seeking amounts infoUSA claims are owed under a license agreement between Sagent and infoUSA. The amount of the claim is $900,000, plus interest.  A default judgment for the full amount of the claim was entered against Sagent on December 20, 2001, for failure by Sagent to respond to the initial complaint. Sagent filed a motion to set aside the default judgment in January 2002. On February 22, 2002, the court granted Sagent's motion to set aside the default judgment, and allowed Sagent to file its answer to the complaint. Currently, Sagent and infoUSA are engaged in pretrial discovery; no trial date has been set. 
        In November and December 2001, several class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased Company common stock between May 11, 2001 and November 28, 2001. The complaints allege that the Company and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Thereafter, the court consolidated the complaints and selected a lead plaintiff and counsel.  A consolidated complaint was filed in April 2002. The complaint alleges that during the class period, the defendants caused the Company's shares to trade at artificially inflated levels through the issuance of false and misleading financial statements. Sagent filed a motion to dismiss that complaint on April 18, 2002.  On August 14, 2002, the court issued an order sustaining Sagent's
motion to dismiss, granting the plaintiff leave to amend the complaint. The
plaintiffs have submitted papers to the Court stating their intent not to file
an amended complaint.
        In February 2002, two derivative lawsuits were filed by purported Company shareholders in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaints name certain of the Company's present and former officers and directors as defendants. The principal allegation of the complaints is that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company through the dissemination of allegedly misleading and inaccurate information and other allegations.
The cases have been consolidated and the plaintiffs have not yet filed a consolidated complaint. The
defendants filed a notion to dismiss, which is currently scheduled to be heard
by the Court on December 18, 2002.
        Following its investigation of the circumstances that lead to the restatement of its financial statements for the first and second quarters of 2001, and the revision of its financial statements for the third quarter of 2001, Sagent entered the Department of Defense's ("DOD") Voluntary Disclosure Program. On June 7, 2002, Sagent filed with the DOD a report of its investigation which revealed that a single non-officer employee was solely responsible for submitting false documents to Sagent which purportedly showed that the Company had entered into contracts with the federal government, and that Sagent had unwittingly submitted requests for payment to U.S. government agencies not knowing that the employee had fabricated those contracts in order to defraud Sagent of various payments and benefits including commission payments.
        In March 2002, Sagent filed suit against MICROS Systems, Inc. ("MICROS") in Santa Clara County California alleging that MICROS had breached a contract to purchase from Sagent certain software and a related service agreement.  The value of that contract is $136,000.  MICROS removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the case was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, where it is currently pending. MICROS has asserted a counterclaim against Sagent, alleging various torts and breaches of duties.  MICROS' counterclaim seeks in excess of $1 million in damages.  The parties are in the early stages of discovery.
        Sagent and Smart Online, Inc. ("Smart Online") entered into a Mutual OEM Agreement effective September 19, 2000. Disputes arose related to the relationship between the parties and Smart Online filed a lawsuit in North Carolina. Sagent filed a lawsuit in California and Smart Online filed a Cross-complaint in the California action. The parties entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement effective July 16, 2002, which terminated the relationship between the parties and waived and released all disputes without any cost to either party. 
        In connection with a dispute that arose with certain consultants over Sagent's
operations in Brazil, in October 2002 Sagent entered into a Settlement Agreement
with the Brazilian consultants and their consulting company. The consultants had
filed a lawsuit against Sagent. The Settlement Agreement calls for Sagent to pay
$400,000 to the consultants in full settlement of all claims, at which time the
lawsuit will be dismissed. The settlement was accrued as of September 30,
2002. Sagent  paid the settlement amount in October
2002, and the lawsuit will be shortly dismissed.
        In early 2000, the Company entered into a software license agreement with Mountain Energy Corporation ("MEC").  MEC filed for bankruptcy in October 2000.  The Company recently received a letter from the MEC bankruptcy trustee alleging that the Company had recently received certain preferential payment and demanding that the Company disgorge those payments.  The amount in controversy is approximately $1,040,000.Item 2.     Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.Not applicable. Item 3.    Defaults upon Senior Securities.    Not applicable. Item 4.
