ITEM 1.    BUSINESS



Overview



We (Chordiant Software, Inc.) are an
enterprise software vendor that offers software solutions for global business to consumer companies that seek to improve the quality of their customer interactions and to reduce costs through increased employee productivity and process efficiencies.
We concentrate on serving global customers in retail financial services, communications and consumer direct industries.



We deliver a complete customer solution that includes software applications and tools and services that enable businesses to integrate their customer
information and corporate systems so that they can have an accurate, real-time view of their customers across multiple forms of customer interaction.



We believe our solutions offer great flexibility to businesses to set business policies and processes to control the quality of servicing, fulfillment and
marketing to their customers. Our solutions enable companies to control and change their business policies and processes. We believe that we are leaders in providing business process driven solutions for customer management.



Our software solutions and architecture are based on leading industry
standards that are widely adopted by business customers in the industries we serve. We believe these solutions are capable of being the foundation for contemporary distributed computing environments required by global business-to-consumer
enterprises.



The Chordiant Solution



The complexities of integrating software for complex and disparate
information systems to enable a real-time view for customer interactions have forced enterprises to settle for prepackaged customer system applications that require predetermined, inflexible, vendor-defined customer data models, processes and
solutions. Custom-built solutions sometimes yielded better results, but have been slow to build, costly to deliver and expensive to maintain.



The complexities of marketing, selling and servicing multiple product lines to many customers have confounded the efforts of many prepackaged customer
software application vendors, delivering only static versus dynamic customer solutions. We believe that contemporary organizations require flexible solutions with real-time capabilities that are delivered across the enterprise and are powered by
business rules and processes that address this complex business environment and constantly changing customer needs.

##### Table of Contents

Our product solutions are designed for global enterprises seeking to optimize marketing, selling and
servicing efforts. We have designed our products to integrate customer information from different data sources, generate business processes based on a customers specific profile and requests, and provide uniform service and data to customers
across multiple communication channels. Our products are designed to enable companies to deliver appropriate offers and information to a targeted customer at the time of customer need.



Key benefits of our solutions include the following:



Comprehensive single view of the customer in real-time.Companies that have a comprehensive
profile of each customer and that distribute information throughout their enterprise to the points of customer contact can provide a more consistent and personalized consumer experience. Our integration and data management technology helps companies
develop a real-time profile of the customer by integrating, consolidating and managing data derived from external and internal sources. Our solution uses multiple data sources, existing applications and transaction systems to build a comprehensive
profile of the customer and generate the appropriate response at the time of customer contact.



Automated, sophisticated decision-making processes.Workflow and rules-driven business processes help companies to make automated, yet informed, decisions about customer inquiries. Our
workflow processing server technology supports customizable business processes allowing companies to manage processes and execute business rules consistently. Our business process designer is a graphical user interface application that allows
companies to customize and automate their unique processes and business rules. Business rules, policies, and processes can be changed and reused quickly in a number of customer-facing applications. Our sophisticated routing engine is designed to
allow companies to instantly determine how to respond to specific customer inquiries and generate offers appropriate for particular customers.



Consistent customer experience across multiple channels.We believe that companies providing customers with a consistent
experience across multiple communication channels enjoy greater customer satisfaction because customers are able to receive the same reliable service and information regardless of how they choose to contact the company. There is a large and
increasing number of customer communications channels, including web, e-mail, fax, self-service systems, mobile devices, call centers and retail outlets. Our solutions implement a common set of business processes and rules uniformly across systems
already existing in different customer communications channels.



Standard and customizable business services.    We believe that companies that implement their unique business processes will realize greater levels of efficiency, consistency and customer satisfaction. We believe
this results in customer cost improvements and customer service index improvements. Our solutions provide a broad set of standard business objects, or fundamental business functions, that are common across industries. These standard business objects
can be modified to accommodate specific customer and business processes, policies and transactions of individual companies. Additionally, our solutions adapt to many existing company transaction systems and legacy data warehouses thereby leveraging
these existing investments companies have previously made. We believe our solutions allow companies an increased return on their existing information systems as measured by increased retention rates, increased revenue per customer and increased
profitability.

Our solutions are designed to address the enterprise requirements of global
consumer companies serving millions of individual customers across multiple business channels integrating multiple lines of business. Our solutions are designed to enable global business-to-consumer enterprises to optimize marketing, selling and
servicing efforts. The solution suite is typically licensed as an integrated set of products, applications and functionalities based on an open systems environment capable of deployment throughout a customers information technology
infrastructure. We generally segregate our solutions into two product families which can be sold and implemented separately from each other. One product family is our marketing solution with it

Technology



We design and build our products to provide enterprise customer management solutions for large companies serving individual consumers. Our JX architecture
is an open standards-based enterprise platform based on industry standard J2EE and XML technology. Our JX architecture delivers XML connectivity and a J2EE standard object environment. Our JX architecture and in particular the Chordiant Enterprise
Platform are J2EE compliant. This industry standard set of development specifications leverages the strengths of the Java programming language to enable software applications that are easier to develop, configure and integrate with legacy and
third-party information technology systems.



Certain of our
products use technology modules from third party technology providers including Sun Microsystems, IBM and BEA Systems. Our products are based on open system standards and are designed to be scalable and integrate with a companys various
information technology systems, networks and telephony systems. Our enterprise platform solutions support industry standard J2EE application servers including IBM WebSphere and BEA WebLogic. Our server software runs on UNIX server platforms from Sun
Microsystems and IBM.



Sales and Marketing



We license our solutions and sell services primarily through a direct sales
organization that is complemented by the selling and support efforts through business alliance partners such as IBM and Accenture, systems integrators and technology vendors. Our market focus is the business-to-consumer segment of the economy with a
targeted effort on leading consumer focused industries and companies using multiple channels as the means of conducting business and serving customers. We target our sales and marketing efforts, together with our product

design efforts, on industries such as retail banking, insurance, consumer financial services, telecommunications and consumer direct industries.



The sales process generally ranges from three to twenty-four months
depending on the level of knowledge that prospective customers need about the use and benefits of our solutions and the involvement of systems integrators. During the sales process, we typically approach the senior management teams of the business
and information technology departments of a prospective customers organization. We utilize sales teams consisting of sales and technical professionals who work with our systems integration partners to create company specific proposals,
presentations and demonstrations that address the needs of the business and its technology requirements.



In the United States we have sales offices in the greater metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, New York, and San Antonio. Our corporate offices are
located in Cupertino, California. Outside the United States, we have offices in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Munich.



Our Services



We offer a comprehensive set of customer services including professional consulting services and product support and training services. We believe that
providing high quality customer service is critical to achieving rapid product implementation, customer success and revenue growth.



Professional Services



We provide implementation consulting and customer support services to licensed customers through our worldwide professional services organization. Our
professional services consulting teams assist customers and systems integrator partners in the design and implementation of our software solutions.



Our professional services organization deploys consultants as part of the project team alongside systems integration partners and members of the
customers internal team to provide technical knowledge, business engineering, project guidance and quality assessments during project implementation. In the design stage, we provide a variety of professional services that help determine a
customers business processes and the technical requirements of the solutions implementation. In the implementation stage, we use a delivery methodology to assist customers and integration partners in planning and managing the implementation.
Typically, systems integrators, supported by our consultants, manage the overall project and implement the products with a customers existing communications, applications, databases and transaction systems. In the final phases of an
implementation, the systems integrators provide deployment services to enable a customers internal team to implement the system, train internal users and provide first-level end-user support.



Although our primary strategy is to leverage our strategic systems
integration partners for implementations, our internal professional services organization is integral in implementing our enterprise platform software solutions for our customers. We believe that our consulting services enhance the use and
administration of our software solutions, facilitate the implementation of our solutions and result in sharing best business practices with client and systems integrator project teams. In addition to implementing our software, our professional
services organization works closely with our internal research and development organization to enhance existing, and design our new, software solutions.



We provide our customers with support and maintenance services including telephone support, web-based support and updates to our products and
documentation. We believe that providing a high level of technical support is critical to customer satisfaction. We also offer extensive training programs to our customers and other companies with which we have relationships to accelerate the
implementation and adoption of our solutions by the users within a company. Fees for our training services are typically charged separately from our software license, maintenance and consulting fees.

Services revenues provided by us in the year ended December 31, 2003 accounted for approximately 61% of
our total revenues.



Customer Support



Our customers have a choice of support and maintenance options depending on
the level of service desired. Our technical support services are available to clients by telephone, over the web and by e-mail. Additionally, we provide product enhancement releases to all customers as part of our support and maintenance contracts.
We use a customer service automation system to track each customer inquiry until it is resolved. We also make use of our website and a secured customer forum to provide product information and technical support information worldwide 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.



In fiscal year 2003 we entered into an
agreement with an independent contracting company with global technical resources and an operations center in Bangalore, India. The agreement provides for the independent contractor, at our direction, to attract, train, assimilate and retain
sufficient highly qualified personnel to perform technical support and certain sustaining engineering functions. In fiscal year 2004 we plan to significantly increase the size of this organization and expand its scope. The expansion of this
organization is an important component of our strategy to address the business needs of our customers and manage our expenses.



Educational Services



We provide educational services through an outsourced arrangement to train and enable our systems integrators and customers to use our products. Our
training partners offer a comprehensive series of training modules to provide the knowledge and skills to successfully deploy, use and maintain our products. These training courses focus on the technical aspects of our products as well as business
issues and processes. Training courses can be provided on-site for a custom session for a fee and through classroom and lab instruction.



We entered into a two-year agreement, beginning March 19, 2002, with Business Agility, formerly Merit International, pursuant to which Business Agility
provides exclusive training and certain non-exclusive consulting services for a fixed fee. Upon the effective date of the agreement, we transferred to Business Agility our training operations including selected employees. In addition, Business
Agility provides to our customers resource development services in exchange for an agreed-upon fee negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. In September 2003, we amended the agreement by extending its effective date through March 2006.



Product Development



We have made substantial investments in research and development through
internal development, acquisitions and technology licensing. Our product development efforts are focused on extending our enterprise software solutions, application components and business process functionality, and continued integration of key
industry-specific transaction systems and services. Our product development organization is responsible for new software products, product architecture, core technologies, product testing, quality assurance and ensuring the compatibility of our
products with third-party hardware and software platforms.



Our
product development resources are organized into a number of development teams including:



| |  |  | Enterprise Platform and Tools development;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Applications, including our Marketing, Selling and Servicing applications;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Documentation; and
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | Product Test and Release Management.

##### Table of Contents

Our product development teams have extensive experience in enterprise and distributed computing, J2EE and
object oriented development, data management, workflow engineering, transaction system interfaces and Internet technologies. Our research and development expenditures were $16.3 million and $20.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively.



Strategic Partnerships



Establishing partnerships and alliances with third parties that provide
additional services and resources for implementing our solutions to enhance our sales and service organizations productivity is an important element of our strategy. These relationships and alliances fall into the following categories:



Consulting and System Integration
Relationships.    To enhance the productivity of our sales and service organizations, we have established relationships with systems integrators, complementary technology providers and alternative service providers. We have
established relationships and trained professionals at a number of systems integrators including: Accenture and IBM Global Services and Business Agility. We plan to expand these relationships to increase our capacity to license and implement our
products. We have trained consultants in these organizations for the implementation and support of our solutions. We believe that expanding our relationships with systems integrators and independent consulting firms will enable us to gain a greater
share of our target markets.



Technology
Partnerships.    We make extensive use of industry platforms and embrace a number of core technologies in our solution offerings. We have formed partnerships with vendors of software and hardware technology platforms. We
currently maintain technology relationships with vendors such as Avaya/Lucent, Alcatel/Genesys, BEA Systems, Cisco Systems, IBM, Oracle and Sun Microsystems. Many of these companies voluntarily provide us with early releases of new technology
platforms, education related to those platforms and limited access to their technical resources to facilitate adoption of their technology.



Competition



The market for our products is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and can be affected by new product introductions and other market activities of
industry participants. The competitive landscape is quickly evolving to address the convergence of customer interaction applications, back-office systems and e-business services. The most significant competition we face is from customers
internal development efforts, custom system integration, as well as other software providers that offer integration and development platforms.



Internal Development



Many of our customers and potential customers have in the past attempted to develop customer service, call center and customer relationship management
systems in-house, either alone or with the help of systems integrators. Internal information technology departments have staffed projects to build their own systems utilizing a variety of tools. In some cases, such internal development projects have
been successful in satisfying the needs of an organization. We expect that internal development will continue to be a significant source of competition.



Custom System Integration Projects



Another source of competition results from systems integrators engaged to build a custom development application. The introduction of a systems integrator
typically increases the likelihood of success for the customer. The competitive factors in this area require that we demonstrate to the customer the cost savings and advantages of a configurable, upgradeable and commercially supported product
developed by a dedicated professional software organization.



7



---

##### Table of Contents

We frequently rely on system consulting and systems integration firms for implementation and other global
services, as well as recommendations of our products during the evaluation stage of the purchase process. Many of these third parties have similar and often more established relationships with our competitors. We cannot assure that these third
parties, many of whom have significantly greater resources than us, will not market software products in competition with us.



Application Software Competitors



Our primary competition is from internal development at our customers and potential customers as discussed above. However, other competitors include
providers of traditional, first-generation customer relationship management, enterprise resources planning, call center, marketing automation software and sales force automation software. These vendors include, among others, companies such as:
PeopleSoft, Inc., Pegasystems Inc., E.phipany, Inc. and Siebel Systems, Inc.



Some of these companies have longer operating histories, greater financial, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition in other markets and a larger base of customers than we do. In addition, some
companies have well-established relationships with our current and potential customers. As a result, these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can.



There is no one competitor, nor are there a small number of competitors that
are dominant in our market. There are many factors that may increase competition in the enterprise customer relationship management market, including (i) entry of new competitors, (ii) alliances among existing competitors, (iii) consolidation in the
software industry and (iv) technological changes or changes in the use of the Internet. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that competitive pressure faced by us will not materially and adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition.



Intellectual Property and
Propriety Rights



Our success is dependent upon our
ability to develop and protect proprietary technology and intellectual proprietary rights. We rely primarily on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures, patents pending, trade secrets, and copyright and trademark laws to
protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights.



We
license our products through non-exclusive license agreements that impose restrictions on customers ability to utilize the software. In addition, we seek to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets, including requiring employees, customers and
others with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and restricting access to our source code. We also seek to protect our rights in our products, documentation and other written materials under trade
secret and copyright laws. Due to rapid technological change, we believe factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments and enhancements to our existing products are more important than the various
legal protections of our technology to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position.



We integrate third party software into our products. We believe integrated technology represents under 10% of the value of our software products and has
historically ranged from 4% to 7% of total license revenues. The third party software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot maintain licenses to key third party software, shipments of our products
could be delayed until equivalent software is developed or licensed and integrated into our products. Moreover, although we are generally indemnified against claims if technology licensed from third parties infringes the intellectual property and
proprietary rights of others, this indemnification is not always available for all types of intellectual property and



8



---

##### Table of Contents

proprietary rights and in some cases the scope of this indemnification is limited. There can be no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims arising
from the incorporation of third-party technology or claims for indemnification from our customers resulting from these claims will not be asserted or prosecuted against us. These claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of
significant financial and managerial resources, in addition to potential product redevelopment costs and delays.



Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws afford only limited protection. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer
aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third party copying or use. Use by others of our
proprietary rights could materially harm our business. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights.



It is also possible that third parties will claim that we have infringed
their current or future products. We expect that software developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products in different industry segments overlap. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming,
result in costly litigation, prevent product shipment, cause delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent
uncertainties. If an infringement claim against us was successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable terms, license a substitute technology or redesign to avoid infringement, our business would be harmed.



Employees



As of December 31, 2003, we employed 279 full time employees. Of that total, 93 were primarily engaged in product
development, engineering or systems engineering, 74 were engaged in sales and marketing, 73 were engaged in professional services and 39 were engaged in operational, financial and administrative functions.



None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we have never
experienced a work stoppage. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. We believe our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to recruit and retain highly skilled technical, management and marketing personnel.

RISK FACTORS



Weakness in technology spending in our target markets combined with geopolitical concerns could make the closing of license transactions to new and existing customers
difficult.



Our revenues fell in fiscal year 2003 compared
to revenues in fiscal year 2002. Our revenues will continue to decrease in 2004 if we are unable to enter into new large-scale license transactions with new and existing customers. The current state of world affairs and geopolitical concerns have
left many customers reluctant to enter into new large value license transactions without some assurance that the economy both in the customers home country and worldwide will have some economic and political stability. Continued or further
weakness in technology spending and geopolitical instability will continue to make closing large license transactions difficult. In addition, we cannot predict what effect the U.S. military presence overseas or potential or actual political or
military conflict have had or are continuing to have on our existing and prospective customers decision-making process with respect to licensing or implementing enterprise-level products such as ours. Our ability to enter into new large
license transactions also directly affects our ability to create additional consulting services and maintenance revenues, on which we also depend.



Historically, we have not been profitable and we may continue to incur losses, which may raise vendor viability concerns thereby making it more difficult to close
license transactions with new and existing customers.



We
incurred losses of $16.4 million and $32.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, we had an accumulated deficit of $188.9 million. We may continue to incur losses and cannot be
certain that we can achieve or generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. Continued losses may leave many customers reluctant to enter into new large value license transactions without some assurance that we will operate profitably. If
we fail to enter into new large value license transactions due to lack of vendor profitability and or viability concerns, our revenues will decline, which would further adversely affect our operating results.



Because a small number of customers account for a substantial portion of our revenues, the
loss of a significant customer could cause a substantial decline in our revenues.



We derive a significant portion of our software license revenues in each quarter from a limited number of customers. The loss of a major customer in a particular quarter could cause a decrease in revenues and net
income. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Royal Bank of Scotland accounted for 11% of our total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2002, USAA, Hutchinson 3 G and Lloyds TSB accounted for 17%, 13% and 11% of our total revenues,
respectively. While our customer concentration has fluctuated, we expect that a limited number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenues. As a result, if we lose a major customer, or if a contract is delayed or
cancelled or we do not contract with new major customers, our revenues and net loss would be adversely affected. In addition, customers that have accounted for significant revenues in the past may not generate revenues in any future period, causing
our failure to obtain new significant customers or additional orders from existing customers to materially affect our operating results.



If we fail to adequately address the difficulties of managing our international operations, our revenues and operating expenses will be adversely affected.



For the year ended December 31, 2003, international
revenues were $52.4 million or approximately 77% of our total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2002, international revenues were $54.2 million or approximately 73% of our total revenues. While we expect North American revenues to increase
as a percentage of our overall revenues, international revenues will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenues in future periods. We have faced, and will continue to face, difficulties in managing international operations
which include:



| |  |  | Difficulties in hiring qualified local personnel;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Seasonal fluctuations in customer orders;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Longer accounts receivable collection cycles;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Expenses associated with licensing products and servicing customers in foreign markets; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Economic downturns and political uncertainty in international economies.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



Any of these factors could have a significant impact on our ability to license products on a competitive and timely basis and could adversely affect our
operating expenses and net income.



Increases in the value of the U.S.
dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products less competitive in international markets and could negatively affect our operating results and cash flows.



A significant portion of our sales and operating expenses result from transactions outside of the United States, often in
foreign currencies. Our international sales comprised 77%, 73% and 84% of our total sales for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2003, our operating results were positively affected by changes in foreign currency rates. Our future operating
results will continue to be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates, especially if international sales continue to grow as a percentage of our total sales, and we may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency rates in the
future.



Competition in our markets is intense and could reduce our sales
and prevent us from achieving profitability.



Increased
competition in our markets could result in price reductions for our products and services, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could reduce our future revenues. The market for our products is intensely competitive,
evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We consider our primary competition to be from internal development, custom systems integration projects and application software competitors. In particular, we compete with:



| |  |  | Internal information technology departments: in-house information technology departments of potential customers have developed or may develop systems that provide some or all
of the functionality of our products. We expect that internally developed application integration and process automation efforts will continue to be a significant source of competition.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Point application vendors: we compete with providers of stand-alone point solutions for web-based customer relationship management and traditional client/server-based,
call-center service customer and sales-force automation solution providers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Many of our competitors have greater resources and broader customer relationships than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have extensive knowledge of our industry. Current and potential competitors have
established, or may establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to offer a single solution and to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs.



We may experience a shortfall in revenue, earnings, cash flow or otherwise fail to meet
public market expectations, which could materially and adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock.



Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly because of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Some of these
factors include:



| |  |  | Size and timing of individual license transactions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Delay or deferral of customer implementations of our products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Product and price competition; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to develop and market new products and control costs.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



One or more of the foregoing factors may cause our operating expenses to be disproportionately high during any given period or may cause our revenues and
operating results to fluctuate significantly. Based upon the preceding factors, we may experience a shortfall in revenues and earnings or otherwise fail to meet public market expectations, which could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock.



Our operating results fluctuate significantly and delays in implementation of our products may cause unanticipated declines in revenues or cash flow, which could disappoint investors and result in a decline in our stock price.



Our quarterly revenues depend primarily upon product
implementation by our customers. We have historically recognized most of our license and services revenue through the percentage-of-completion method, using labor hours incurred as the measure of progress towards completion of implementation of our
products and we expect this practice to continue. Thus, delays in implementation by our customers and systems integration partners would reduce our quarterly revenue. Historically, a significant portion of new customer orders have been booked in the
third month of the calendar quarter, with many of these bookings occurring in the last two weeks of the third month. We expect this trend to continue and, therefore, any failure or delay in bookings would decrease our quarterly revenue. If our
revenues or operating margins are below the expectations of the investment community, our stock price is likely to decline.



If we fail to maintain and expand our relationships with systems integrators and other business partners, our ability to develop, market, sell, and support our
products may be adversely affected.



Our development,
marketing and distribution strategies increasingly rely on our ability to form and maintain long-term strategic relationships with system integrators, in particular, our existing business alliance partners, IBM and Accenture. These business
relationships often consist of joint marketing programs, technology partnerships and resale and distribution arrangements. Although most aspects of these relationships are contractual in nature, many important aspects of these relationships depend
on the continued cooperation between the parties. Divergence in strategy, change in focus, competitive product offerings or potential contract defaults may interfere with our ability to develop, market, sell, or support our products, which in turn
could harm our business. If either IBM or Accenture were to terminate their agreements with us or our relationship were to deteriorate, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In many
cases, these parties have extensive relationships with our existing and potential customers and influence the decisions of these customers. A number of our competitors have stronger relationships with IBM and Accenture and, as a result, these
parties may be more likely to recommend competitors products and services.

##### Table of Contents

Failure to successfully customize or implement our products for a customer could prevent recognition of revenues,
collection of amounts due or cause legal claims by the customer.



If a customer is not able to customize or deploy our products successfully, the customer may not complete expected product deployment, which could prevent or delay recognition of revenues and collection of amounts due, and could result in
claims against us. We have, in the past, had disputes with customers concerning product performance.



Our primary products have a long sales and implementation cycle, which makes it difficult to predict our quarterly results and may cause our operating results to vary significantly.



The period between initial contact with a prospective customer and the
implementation of our products is unpredictable and often lengthy, ranging to date from three to twenty-four months. Thus, revenue and cash receipt could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Any delays in the implementation of our products
could cause reductions in our revenues. The licensing of our products is often an enterprise-wide decision that generally requires us to provide a significant level of education to prospective customers about the use and benefits of our products.
The implementation of our products involves significant commitment of technical and financial resources and is commonly associated with substantial implementation efforts that may be performed by us, by the customer or by third-party systems
integrators. Customers generally consider a wide range of issues before committing to purchase our products, including product benefits, ability to operate with existing and future computer systems, vendor financial stability and longevity, ability
to accommodate increased transaction volume and product reliability.



If we
are not able to successfully manage our partner operations in India, our operations and financial results may be adversely affected.



In fiscal year 2003 we entered into an agreement with an independent contracting company with global technical resources and an operations center in
Bangalore, India. The agreement provides for the independent contractor, at our direction, to attract, train, assimilate and retain sufficient highly qualified personnel to perform technical support and certain sustaining engineering functions. In
fiscal year 2004 we plan to significantly increase the size of this organization and expand its scope. The expansion of this organization is an important component of our strategy to address the business needs of our customers and manage our
expenses. The success of this operation will depend on our ability and our independent contractors ability to attract, train, assimilate and retain highly qualified personnel in the required periods. A disruption of our relationship with the
independent contractor could adversely affect our operations and financial results. Failure to effectively manage the organization and operations will harm our business and financial results.



Our stock price is subject to significant fluctuations, which may adversely affect the
value of your investment in our common stock.



Since our
initial public offering in February 2000, the price of our common stock has fluctuated widely. We believe that factors such as the risks described herein or other factors could cause the price of our common stock to continue to fluctuate, perhaps
substantially. In addition, recently, the stock market in general, and the market for high technology stocks in particular, has experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected
companies. Such fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.



We may incur in future periods significant stock-based compensation charges related to certain stock options and stock awards, which may adversely affect our reported financial results.



Based on accounting standards involving stock compensation, we may incur
variable accounting costs related to the issuance of restricted stock and certain stock options, including those associated with our stock option cancellation/re-grant program. Accounting standards require us to re-measure compensation cost for such

options each reporting period based on changes in the market value of the underlying common stock. Depending upon movements in the market value of our common
stock, the variable accounting treatment of those stock options may result in significant additional stock-based compensation costs in future periods. Refer to the discussions under the caption Stock-based compensation set forth in Note
2 and the discussions under the caption Stock-based compensation expense set forth in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-K/A.



We are the target of a securities class action complaint and are at risk of securities
class action litigation, which may result in substantial costs and divert management attention and resources.



Beginning in July 2001, Chordiant and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in several class action shareholder complaints filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now consolidated under the caption, In re Chordiant Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-6222. In the amended complaint, the
plaintiffs allege that Chordiant, certain of our officers and directors and the underwriters of our initial public offering (IPO) violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that Chordiants registration
statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other
public companies that conducted IPOs of their common stock in the late 1990s. Although Chordiant and almost all of the other issuers have approved in principle a tentative settlement with the plaintiffs, it remains subject to a number of procedural
conditions, as well as formal approval by the Court. This action may divert the efforts and attention of our management and, if determined adversely to us, could have a material impact on our business.



If our products do not operate effectively in a company-wide environment, we may lose
sales and suffer decreased revenues.



If existing
customers have difficulty deploying our products or choose not to fully deploy our products, it could damage our reputation and reduce revenues. Our success requires that our products be highly scalable, and able to accommodate substantial increases
in the number of users. Our products are expected to be deployed on a variety of computer hardware platforms and to be used in connection with a number of third-party software applications by personnel who may not have previously used application
software systems or our products. These deployments present very significant technical challenges, which are difficult or impossible to predict. If these deployments do not succeed, we may lose future sales opportunities and suffer decreased
revenues.



Defects in our products could diminish demand for our products
and result in decreased revenues, decreased market acceptance and injury to our reputation.



Errors may be found from time-to-time in our new, acquired or enhanced products. Any significant software errors in our products may result in decreased
revenues, decreased sales, injury to our reputation and/or increased warranty and repair costs. Although we conduct extensive product testing during product development, we have in the past discovered software errors in our products as well as in
third-party products, and as a result have experienced delays in the shipment of our new products. The latest major release of our primary product suite was introduced in December 2003.



To date, our sales have been concentrated in the financial services and telecommunications markets, and if we are unable to continue
sales in these markets or successfully penetrate new markets, our revenues may decline.



Sales of our products and services in two large marketsfinancial services and telecommunicationsaccounted for approximately 80% and 81% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and



15

##### Table of Contents

2002, respectively. We expect that revenues from these two markets will continue to account for a substantial portion of our total revenues in 2004. If we
are unable to successfully increase penetration of our existing markets or achieve sales in additional markets, or if the overall economic climate of our target markets deteriorates, our revenues may decline.



Low gross margin in services revenues could adversely impact our overall gross margin and
income.



Our services revenues have had lower gross
margins than our license revenues. Service revenue comprised 61%, 56% and 49% of total revenue for the years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gross margin on services revenues has been 37%, 26% and 13% for calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and gross margin on license fees has been approximately 95% for each of the past three years ended 2003. As a result, an increase in the percentage of total revenues represented by services revenues, or an unexpected decrease in
license revenues, could have a detrimental impact on our overall gross margins. To increase services revenues, we must expand our services organization, successfully recruit and train a sufficient number of qualified services personnel and obtain
renewals of current maintenance contracts by our customers. This expansion could further reduce gross margins in our services revenues.



Because we have reduced the size of our workforce, we may not have the workforce necessary to support our platform of products if demand for our products substantially
increased, and, if we need to rebuild our workforce in the future, we may not be able to recruit personnel in a timely manner, which could negatively impact the development and sales of our products.



In 2002 and 2003, we reduced the size of our workforce and may carry out
further reductions in the future. Our recent reductions were intended to align our operating expenses with our revenue expectations. In the event that demand for our products increases as a result of a positive turn in the economy, we may need to
rebuild our workforce or increase outsourced functions to companies based in foreign jurisdictions and we may be unable to hire, train or retain qualified personnel in a timely manner, which may weaken our ability to market our products in a timely
manner, negatively impacting our operations. Our success depends largely on ensuring that we have adequate personnel to support our platform of products as well as the continued contributions of our key management, engineering, sales and marketing
and professional services personnel.



If we fail to introduce new versions
and releases of functional and scalable products in a timely manner, customers may license competing products and our revenues may decline.



If we are unable to ship or implement enhancements to our products when planned, or fail to achieve timely market acceptance of these enhancements, we may
suffer lost sales and could fail to achieve anticipated revenues. We have in the past, and expect in the future, to derive a significant portion of our total revenues from the license of our primary product suite. Our future operating results will
depend on the demand for the product suite by future customers, including new and enhanced releases that are subsequently introduced. If our competitors release new products that are superior to our products in performance or price, or if we fail to
enhance our products or introduce new features and functionality in a timely manner, demand for our products may decline. We have in the past experienced delays in the planned release dates of new versions of our software products and upgrades. New
versions of our products may not be released on schedule or may contain defects when released.



We depend on technology licensed to us by third parties, and the loss or inability to maintain these licenses could prevent or delay sales of our products.



We license from several software providers technologies that are
incorporated into our products. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. This software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of the technology
licenses could result in delays in the license of our products until equivalent technology is developed or identified, licensed and

integrated into our products. Even if substitute technologies are available, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to license these technologies on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all.



Defects in third party products
associated with our products could impair our products functionality and injure our reputation.



The effective implementation of our products depends upon the successful operation of third-party products in conjunction with our products. Any
undetected errors in these third-party products could prevent the implementation or impair the functionality of our products, delay new product introductions or injure our reputation. In the past, while our business has not been materially harmed,
product releases have been delayed as a result of errors in third-party software and we have incurred significant expenses fixing and investigating the cause of these errors.



Our customers and system integration partners may have the ability to alter our source code and resulting inappropriate alterations could
adversely affect the performance of our products, cause injury to our reputation and increase operating expenses.



Customers and system integration partners may have access to the computer source code for certain elements of our products and may alter the source code.
Alteration of our source code may lead to implementation, operation, technical support and upgrade problems for our customers. This could adversely affect the market acceptance of our products, and any necessary investigative work and repairs could
cause us to incur significant expenses and delays in implementation.



If our
products do not operate with the hardware and software platforms used by our customers, our customers may license competing products and our revenues will decline.



If our products fail to satisfy advancing technological requirements of our customers and potential customers, the market
acceptance of these products could be reduced. We currently serve a customer base with a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, software applications and networking platforms. Customer acceptance of our products depends on many factors such
as:



| |  |  | Our ability to integrate our products with multiple platforms and existing or legacy systems;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to anticipate and support new standards, especially Internet and enterprise Java standards; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The integration of additional software modules and third party software applications with our existing products.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our failure to successfully integrate with future acquired or merged companies and
technologies could prevent us from operating efficiently.



Our business strategy includes pursuing opportunities to grow our business, both through internal growth and through merger, acquisition and technology and other asset transactions. To implement this strategy, we may be involved in merger
and acquisition activity, additional technology and asset purchase transactions. Merger and acquisition transactions are motivated by many factors, including, among others, our desire to grow our business, acquire skilled personnel, obtain new
technologies and expand and enhance our product offerings. Growth through mergers and acquisitions has several identifiable risks, including difficulties associated with successfully integrating distinct businesses into new organizations, the
substantial management time devoted to integrating personnel, technology and entire companies, the possibility that we might not be successful in retaining the employees, undisclosed liabilities, the failure to realize anticipated benefits (such as
cost savings and synergies) and issues related to integrating acquired technology, merged/acquired companies or content into our products (such as unanticipated expenses). Realization of any of these risks in connection with any technology
transaction

or asset purchase we have entered into, or may enter into, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.



If we become subject to intellectual property infringement claims, these
claims could be costly and time-consuming to defend, divert managements attention, cause product delays and have an adverse effect on our revenues and net income.



We expect that software product developers and providers of software in markets similar to our target markets will
increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry grows and the functionality of products overlap. Any claims, with or without merit, could be costly and time-consuming to defend, divert our
managements attention or cause product delays. If any of our products were found to infringe a third partys proprietary rights, we could be required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements to be able to sell our products. Royalty
and licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.



ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES



Our headquarters are located in offices that are approximately 31,000 square feet in Cupertino, California pursuant to an office lease expiring in December 2008. We also lease office space in Mahwah, New Jersey and in the greater
metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, New York City, San Antonio, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Munich. We believe our existing facilities meet our current needs and that we will be able to obtain additional commercial space as needed.



ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



Beginning in July 2001, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a series of class action shareholder complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York, now consolidated under the caption, In re Chordiant Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-6222. In the amended complaint, the plaintiffs allege that Chordiant, certain of our officers and directors
and the underwriters of our initial public offering (IPO) violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that Chordiants registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the
compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission
constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (Issuers) that conducted IPOs of their
common stock in the late 1990s (collectively, the IPO Lawsuits).



In October 2002, the parties agreed to toll the statute of limitations with respect to Chordiants officers and directors until September 30, 2003, and on the basis of this agreement, our officers and directors
were dismissed from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claims against Chordiant and almost all of the other Issuers and denying the motion to dismiss the
Section 10(b) claims against Chordiant and many of the Issuers. In June 2003, Issuers and plaintiffs reached a tentative settlement agreement that would, among other things, result in the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the Issuers
and their officers and directors in the IPO Lawsuits, and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against the underwriters. The tentative settlement also provides that, in the event that plaintiffs
ultimately recover less than a guaranteed sum of $1 billion from the IPO underwriters, plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuers insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs guaranteed
recovery. Although Chordiant has approved this settlement proposal in principle, it remains subject to a number of procedural conditions, as well as formal approval by the Court. In September 2003, in connection with the possible settlement, those
officers and directors who had entered tolling agreements with plaintiffs (described above) agreed to extend those agreements so that they would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized.

We are also subject to various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.
The ultimate disposition of these various other claims and legal actions is not expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of February 27,
2004, there were approximately 235 holders of record of our common stock. Because many of such shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by
these record holders. We have never paid or declared any cash dividends. We currently expect to retain earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.



In response to the SECs adoption of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, we approved amendments to our insider trading policy on July 20, 2001 to permit our directors, executive officers and certain key employees to enter into trading plans or arrangements for systematic trading in our securities.
We have been advised that certain of our directors, officers and key employees have entered into trading plans for selling shares in our securities. As of December 31, 2003, the directors and executive officers who have entered into trading plans
include Stephen Kelly, Sam Spadafora, Don Morrison and Allen Swann. We anticipate that, as permitted by Rule 10b5-1 and our insider trading policy, some or all of our directors, executive officers and employees may establish trading plans at some
date in the future.



We did not make any unregistered sales of
our common stock during the fourth quarter of 2003.



In January
2004, we sold 4,854,368 shares of our common stock to Acqua Wellington Opportunity I Limited for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.0 million which will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

ITEM 6.    SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA



You should read the following selected financial data in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and the
consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K. The consolidated statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included in this Form 10-K. The diluted net loss per share computation excludes potential shares of common stock
(preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and common stock subject to repurchase rights that we hold), since their effect would be anti-dilutive. See the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a detailed explanation
of the determination of the shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for future periods.

discussed in Item 1 of this Form 10-K/A under the caption  Risk Factors and those discussed elsewhere in this annual report and in our other SEC filings. Chordiant undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events after the date of this report.



Overview



As an enterprise software vendor, we generate
substantially all of our revenues from the financial services and telecommunications industries. Our customers typically fund purchases of our software and services out of their lines of business and information technology budgets. As a result, our
revenues are heavily influenced by our customers long-term business outlook, and willingness to invest in new enterprise information systems and business applications.



Beginning in late calendar 2000, the financial services and telecommunications industries entered into a steep and long
economic downturn, with industry sales dropping from late 2000 through the first part of 2003. Over the past three years, our customers have focused on controlling costs and reducing risk, including constraining information technology and lines of
business expenditures and requiring more favorable pricing terms from their suppliers and pursuing consolidation within their own industries. As a result of this downturn, our license fee revenue has declined 18%-19% in each of the last two years.
Pricing pressure during the past year has intensified particularly with respect to our marketing solutions. Several of our competitors continue to aggressively price their products with large discounts. Over the past year, we have continued to see
competitive pricing pressure.



Our strategy is to:



| |  |  | continue to offer products with functionality different and superior to our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increase our revenues in North America as a percentage of our overall revenues;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to effectively manage costs and achieve profitability; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pursue opportunities to grow our business, both through internal growth and through merger, acquisition and technology and other asset transactions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our target customers include companies with demanding customer relationships
involving a large number of individual customers with complex customer relationships requiring high levels of personalized services. Through our acquisitions of Prime Response, Inc. (Prime Response), OnDemand, Inc.
(OnDemand), and of certain technology from ActionPoint, Inc. (ActionPoint), and ASP Outfitter, Inc. (ASP Outfitter), we have added new products and features to our product offerings. The acquisition of Prime
Response in 2001 resulted in the addition of our marketing solution product. The other acquisitions we made during 2001 and into 2002 have primarily added features and functionality to our enterprise solutions product offerings. Our solutions seek
to fulfill the requirements these companies have for enterprise-wide customer system software infrastructure

solutions capable of servicing millions of individual customers across multiple communication channels in real-time. Our solutions enable organizations to
market, sell and serve their customers across multiple channels, including call centers, branch representatives and self-serve channels such as automated telephony, the Internet and e-mail.



Financial Trends



Management focuses on license and service gross margin in evaluating our
financial condition and operating performance. Gross margin on license revenues has remained constant at approximately 95% for each of the past three years. Over the next year, we expect license gross margin to range from 94 to 96%.



Gross margin on service revenues has reflected steady improvement, increasing
from 13% in 2001 to 26% in 2002 to 37% in 2003. These increases are the result of the improvement in the design and functionality of our products, improvements in our cost management and our use of partners to provide an increasing portion of the
implementation services. Due to these improvements, we believe gross margin on services will improve modestly over the next year from the 2003 level. We expect that service revenues will continue to represent over 50% of our total revenues.



We believe international revenues will continue to represent a
significant portion of our total revenues in future periods. Our international revenue growth rate has continued to outpace our United States revenue growth rate. We believe this has occurred because the U.S. economy has been weak compared to areas
where we have an international presence and our leadership and market presence have been very strong internationally, particularly in the United Kingdom.



Historically, a small number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of our total revenues. We expect that revenues from a small number of
customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our total quarterly revenues in the foreseeable future. Customer concentration has declined over the past two years, but we expect that certain customers could each account for more
than 10% of our total revenues in future periods. For information relating to individual customers that have contributed 10% or more of our consolidated revenues during the past three years, please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements
contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K/A.



Critical Accounting Policies



Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to
estimates of percentage of completion on our service contracts, uncollectible receivables, valuation allowances, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring costs and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



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



| |  |  | Revenue recognition, including estimating the total estimated days to complete sales arrangements involving significant implementation or customization essential to the
functionality of our product;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Estimating valuation allowances and accrued liabilities, specifically the allowance for doubtful accounts, and assessment of the probability of the outcome of our current
litigation;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill;

| |  |  | Restructuring costs; and
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | Determining functional currencies for the purposes of consolidating our international operations.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Revenue recognition.    We derive revenues from licenses of our software and related services,
which include assistance in implementation, customization and integration, post-contract customer support, training and consulting. The amount and timing of our revenue is difficult to predict and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing
revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in operating losses.



At the time of entering into a transaction, we assess whether any services included within the arrangement require us to perform significant
implementation or customization essential to the functionality of our products. For contracts involving significant implementation or customization essential to the functionality of our products, we recognize the license and professional consulting
services revenues using the percentage-of-completion method using labor hours incurred as the measure of progress towards completion as prescribed by Statement of Position (SOP) No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Product-Type Contracts. The progress toward completion is measured based on the go-live date. We define the go-live date as the date the essential product functionality has been delivered
or the application enters into a production environment or the point at which no significant additional Chordiant supplied professional services resources are required. Estimates are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. We
account for the change in estimate in the period the change was identified. Provisions for estimated contract losses are recognized in the period in which the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. When we sell additional licenses
related to the original licensing agreement, revenue is recognized either upon delivery if the project has reached the go-live date, or if the project has not reached the go-live date, revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method.
We classify revenues from these arrangements as license and service revenues based upon the estimated fair value of each element.



On contracts for products not involving significant implementation or customization essential to the product functionality, we recognize license revenues
when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable and delivery has occurred as prescribed by SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.



We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction
history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We generally do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine 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.



For
arrangements with multiple elements, we recognize revenue for services and post-contract customer support based upon vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the respective elements. VSOE of fair value for the services
element is based upon the standard hourly rates we charge for the services when such services are sold separately. VSOE of fair value for annual post-contract customer support is established with the optional substantive stated future renewal rates
included in the contracts. When contracts contain multiple elements, and VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements, principally the license portion, based upon the residual method as
prescribed by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions.



In situations in which we are obligated to provide unspecified additional software products in the future, we recognize revenue as a subscription ratably
over the term of the commitment period.

##### Table of Contents

For all sales we use either a signed license agreement or a binding purchase order as evidence of an
arrangement. Sales through our third party systems integrators are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Revenues from reseller arrangements are
recognized on the sell-through method, when the reseller reports to us the sale of our software products to end-users. Our agreements with customers and resellers do not contain product return rights.



We recognize revenue for post-contract customer support ratably over the
support period which ranges from one to three years. Our training and consulting services revenues are recognized as such services are performed.



Allowance for doubtful accounts.    We must make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivables. We specifically
analyze accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Generally, we require no collateral
from our customers. Our accounts receivable balance was $12.0 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2003. Our accounts receivable balance was $9.4 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2
million as of December 31, 2002. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.



Accounting for income taxes.    As part of the
process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing
temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet.
We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation
allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations.



We have recorded a valuation allowance of $67.8 million as of December 31, 2003, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax
assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward and foreign tax credits. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to establish an additional
valuation allowance which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.



Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill.    We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Furthermore, we assess the impairment of goodwill annually. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review
include the following:



| |  |  | Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Market capitalization relative to net book value; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



When one or more of the above indicators of
impairment occurs we estimate the value of long-lived assets and intangible assets to determine whether there is an impairment. We measure any impairment based on the



25

##### Table of Contents

projected discounted cash flow method, which requires us to make several estimates including the estimated cash flows associated with the asset, the period
over which these cash flows will be generated and a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. These estimates are subjective and if we made different estimates, it could materially impact the estimated fair
value of these assets and the conclusions we reached regarding an impairment. To date, we have not identified any triggering events which would require us to perform this analysis.



We are required to perform an impairment review of our goodwill balance on at least an annual basis. This impairment review
involves a two-step process as follows:



Step
1We compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value, including goodwill, of each of those units. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the units fair value, we proceed on to
Step 2. If a units fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.



Step 2We perform an allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to our identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible
assets and liabilities. This derives an implied fair value for the reporting units goodwill. We then compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill. If the
carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment charge would be recognized for the excess.



We determined that we have one reporting unit. We completed our annual goodwill impairment review during the fourth quarter
of 2003 and performed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment analysis required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of
December 31, 2003 using the methodology described above. Accordingly, Step 2 was not performed. We will continue to test for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying amount.



Restructuring costs.    During fiscal years 2003 and 2002, we implemented cost-reduction plans as part of our continued effort to streamline our operations to reduce ongoing operating
expenses. These plans resulted in restructuring charges related to, among others, the consolidation of excess facilities. These charges relate to facilities and portions of facilities we no longer utilize and either seek to terminate early or
sublease. Lease termination costs for the abandoned facilities were estimated for the remaining lease obligations and brokerage fees offset by estimated sublease income. Estimates related to sublease costs and income are based on assumptions
regarding the period required to locate and contract with suitable sub-lessees and sublease rates which can be achieved using market trend information analyses provided by a commercial real estate brokerage retained by us. Each reporting period we
review these estimates and to the extent that these assumptions change due to continued negotiations with landlords or changes in the market, the ultimate restructuring expenses for these abandoned facilities could vary by material amounts.



Determining functional currencies for the purpose of
consolidation.    We have several foreign subsidiaries that together account for approximately 77% of our revenues, 47% of our assets and 66% of our total liabilities as of December 31, 2003.



In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to
translate the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their accounting records, generally the local currency, into United States dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses which, under
the relevant accounting guidance are either included within the statement of operations or as a separate part of our net equity under the caption cumulative translation adjustment.



Under the relevant accounting guidance the treatment of these translation
gains or losses is dependent upon our managements determination of the functional currency of each subsidiary. The functional currency is



26

##### Table of Contents

determined based on managements 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.



If
any subsidiarys functional currency were deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiarys financial statements would be included in cumulative translation adjustments. However, if
the functional currency were deemed to be the United States dollar then any gain or loss associated with the translation of these financial statements would be included within our statement of operations. If we dispose of any of our subsidiaries,
any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized into our statement of operations. If we determine that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to the United States dollar, any translation gains or losses
arising after the date of change would be included within our statement of operations.



Based on our assessment of the factors discussed above, we consider the relevant subsidiarys local currency to be the functional currency for each of our international subsidiaries. Accordingly, we had
cumulative translation gains of approximately $2.4 million and $1.3 million, which were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive income within our balance sheet at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



The magnitude of these gains or 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 United Kingdom Pound Sterling, the Euro and Australian and Canadian Dollars. Any future translation gains or losses
could be significantly higher than those noted in each of these years. In addition, if we determine that a change in the functional currency of one 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.



Related Party Transactions



During the first
quarter of 2002, two of our executives exercised 285,000 stock options in exchange for notes receivable (the Notes) of $496,000. The Notes were full-recourse collateralized by the underlying stock. The Notes were due in February and
March 2003 and accrued interest between 6.0% and 6.5% per annum, which was deemed market rates for the individuals. Both notes were paid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.



During 2000, we issued to one of our executives 200,000 shares of common stock subject to a right of repurchase in exchange
for a note receivable (the Note) of $800,000. The Note was collateralized by the underlying stock and bore interest at a rate of 5.88%. In 2001, we repurchased a total of 117,000 unvested shares at the original exercise price, cancelled
the repurchased shares and forgave the remaining balance of the Note. A compensation expense of $540,000 was recorded as of December 31, 2001.



In 1999, two former executives exercised 288,000 stock options covering an aggregate of 288,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for notes
receivables in the amount of $400,000 and $51,000. The notes were full-recourse collateralized by the underlying stock. The notes were assessed by us to be fully collectible, based on our understanding of the financial standing of the individuals.
We perform periodic reviews of the recoverability of our outstanding notes receivables. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we determined that collection of these two notes was no longer probable although we would still actively pursue collection of both
notes. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $451,000 as stock compensation expense. In December 2003, we were successful in obtaining a payment of $448,000 from one former executive for his outstanding note receivable plus interest. The
principal portion was $400,000 of the total payment and was recorded as a credit to compensation expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. The adoption of this statement did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 is generally
effective for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in certain contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have
a significant impact upon our financial position or results of operations.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial
instruments that under previous guidance issuers could account for as equity. It requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. The guidance in SFAS No. 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective on July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a significant impact upon our financial position or results of operations.



In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires us to consolidate a variable interest entity if we are subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys
residual returns or both. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must
be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not currently have any variable interest entities and, accordingly, the adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.



In November 2002, the
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or
performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Comparison of the Years Ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002



Revenues



License.    Total license revenues decreased to
approximately $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $32.6 million, or approximately 19%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. License revenues for enterprise solutions decreased to approximately $20.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 from $26.6 million, or approximately 23%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. License revenues for marketing solutions decreased to approximately $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $6.0 million, or
approximately 1%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The overall license revenues decrease was due to smaller aggregate dollar sales by new and existing customers as they reduced or delayed spending due to a weak economic environment in our
target markets. We had six customers that purchased enterprise solution licenses in



29

##### Table of Contents

amounts greater than $1.0 million in each of 2003 and 2002. The average license fee amount for these purchases decreased by $0.8 million in 2003 from 2002
due to lower-volume license commitments.



Service.    Total service revenues, which include reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, increased to approximately $41.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $41.3 million, or approximately 1%, for
the year ended December 31, 2002. Service revenues for enterprise solutions increased to approximately $30.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $28.5 million, or approximately 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. Service
revenues for marketing solutions decreased to approximately $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $12.8 million, or approximately 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The overall service revenues increase was due to a
continuation in large customer implementations as well as maintenance, support and consulting revenues associated with license agreements.



Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (which is included in total service revenues) increased to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003
from $2.0 million, or approximately 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2002.



Cost of Revenues



License.    Cost of license revenues decreased to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $1.6 million, or approximately 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. License gross margins were
approximately 95% for both years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The aggregate cost of license revenues is in line with the decrease in aggregate license revenues. We expect cost of license revenues to remain in the range of four to
six percent of license revenues.



Service.    Cost of service revenues decreased to $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $29.7 million, or approximately 17%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. These costs resulted in service
gross margins of 41% and 28% for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Service gross margins improved mainly as the result of combined effects of restructuring actions implemented, increased efficiencies and reduced spending. The
decrease in these expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $2.3 million in personnel related expenses due to a decrease in headcount, a decrease of $2.2 million in third-party consulting services and a decrease of $0.6 million in
office, facilities, depreciation and other related expenses due to restructuring actions implemented.



Stock-based compensation.    Stock-based compensation included in cost of revenues was $1.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2003 compared to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in stock-based compensation is mainly due to the increase in the Companys stock price during fiscal year 2003 which affects the variable accounting
calculation to which restricted stock and some outstanding stock options are subject.



Operating Expenses



Sales and marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $32.5 million, or approximately 34%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in
these expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $6.2 million in personnel related expenses due to a decrease in headcount and commission expenses, a decrease of $2.4 million in marketing programs, trade shows and professional services and a
decrease of approximately $2.5 million in office, facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses due to lower headcount as a percentage of the Companys overall headcount as a result of restructuring actions implemented.



Research and development.    Research and
development expenses decreased to $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $20.1 million, or approximately 19%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in these expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $2.6 million
in personnel related

expenses due to a decrease in headcount and bonus expenses and a decrease of approximately $1.2 million in overhead allocations, office, facilities and
depreciation related expenses due to lower headcount as a percentage of the Companys overall headcount as a result of restructuring actions implemented.



General and administrative.    General and administrative expenses decreased to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2003 from $7.7 million, or approximately 19%, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in these expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $0.7 million in personnel related expenses due to a decrease in headcount, a decrease of $1.5
million in office, facilities and depreciation related expenses due to restructuring actions implemented and a decrease of $0.8 million in professional services and other expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.6 million
in allocated expenses due to lower headcounts in other operating functions of the Company as a result of restructuring actions implemented.



Stock-based compensation expense.    We recorded amortization of stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 in relation to options granted prior to our initial public offering with an exercise price lower than the deemed fair market value of the underlying common stock
at the date of issuance. At December 31, 2003, approximately $0.2 million of unearned stock-based compensation remained to be amortized.



On August 23, 2002, we implemented a stock option exchange program (the Program). Under the Program, holders of outstanding options with an
exercise price of $3.00 or greater per share (the Eligible Options) were given the choice of retaining these options or canceling the options in exchange for (i) restricted shares of common stock (Restricted Stock) to be
issued as soon as possible after the expiration of the Program period and/or (ii) replacement options issuable six (6) months and one (1) day following the cancellation of the Program (Replacement Options) at the closing market price on
that date. The Program, as amended, also provided our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, if they participated in the Program, with a Separate Restricted Stock Agreement (the CEO and CFO Agreement), which
includes specific vesting provisions based on achieving certain financial performance goals. There were 11,668,875 options subject to the Program, which closed on October 9, 2002.



Employees tendered 8,109,640 stock options and received 2,780,967 shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Program. In
addition, employees tendered 672,948 stock options, which were cancelled and to the extent an employee was still with the Company were replaced six (6) months and one (1) day following the expiration of the Program. The tendered stock options
represented approximately 59% of our total outstanding stock options as of the expiration date of the Program. In addition, in October 2002, we issued 3,706,745 shares of Restricted Stock to our employees residing in the United Kingdom, including to
our Chief Executive Officer. The Restricted Stock issued to our Chief Executive Officer is subject to the CEO and CFO Agreement. In November 2003, our then acting Chief Financial Officer left our employ and, as a result, the Company is no longer
subject to stock-based compensation expense related to the vesting of his restricted stock. In connection with the termination, we accelerated the vesting of 154,723 shares of restricted stock resulting in a compensation expense of $0.6 million.



The Program has been accounted for under the guidance of
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-23, Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, and Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensationan
Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. Because we offered to cancel existing fixed stock options in exchange for a grant of restricted stock within six months of the cancellation date of the existing options, the Eligible Options became subject
to variable accounting treatment at the commencement date of the Program. Variable accounting ceased upon cancellation of the tendered options. A total of 2,886,287 Eligible Options that were not tendered will remain subject to variable accounting.
The remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense amounted to approximately $1.5 million at December 31, 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2003, $7.6 million was recorded as stock-based compensation expense. The compensation expense on
variable options will be re-measured at the end of each operating period until the options are exercised, forfeited or have expired. Depending upon movements in

the market value of our common stock, this accounting treatment may result in significant additional stock-based compensation charges in future periods.



As part of the Program implemented in 2002, we issued 499,068
replacement options at the current market value of $0.88 per share on April 11, 2003 to employees.



The related functional breakdown of total stock-based compensation is outlined below (in thousands):

In September 2001, we
issued warrants to Accenture plc to purchase up to 600,000 shares of our common stock subject to performance based vesting. No warrants have vested through December 31, 2003.



On August 12, 2002, we entered into an agreement with IBM to market our products and services to customers. We issued a
fully vested and exercisable warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock in connection with this agreement. The exercise price is set at $2.25 per share. The warrants expire on August 12, 2007. The warrants were valued at $0.1 million
based on the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility: 105%, risk-free rate: 3.22% and fair market value of our common stock at the grant date: $0.84. The value of the warrants was recorded as a prepaid expense and was offset
against revenue during 2003 upon the completion of an IBM revenue generating transaction.



Amortization of intangibles.    Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $3.6 million compared to $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The
amortization expense in fiscal year 2003 included $0.5 million attributable to the acquisition of OnDemand in April 2002 and $1.8 million attributable to the acquisition of Prime Response in March 2001. The remaining balance of $1.3 million is
related to the acquisitions of certain assets from ActionPoint and ASP Outfitter in May 2001 and technology from EDS in December 2001.



There was no amortization of goodwill in fiscal years 2003 or 2002 as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, effective January 1, 2002. We expect amortization expense on purchased intangible assets to be $1.3 million in fiscal year 2004 and $0.1 million in fiscal year 2005, at which time existing purchased intangible assets will be fully
amortized.



Restructuring
Costs.    During fiscal years 2003 and 2002, based upon our continued evaluation of economic conditions in the information technology industry and based upon our expectations regarding revenue levels, we restructured several
areas of our business to reduce expenses and improve our revenue per employee, operating margin and overall operating performance to achieve cash flow and profitability breakeven in the near future. This restructuring program included a worldwide
workforce reduction and consolidation of excess facilities and certain business functions. We believe that these reductions and realignments have resulted and will continue to result in a more responsive management structure.



We aligned our research and development spending with anticipated revenues in
2002 and 2003 after consolidating five acquisitions and integrating the various technologies into Chordiant solutions. We anticipate that we will continue to devote adequate resources to develop and maintain our products. If we experience
significant growth, we may need to increasingly rely on the services of independent contractors.

##### Table of Contents

We also aligned our sales and marketing resources and expense levels with anticipated revenues as we
entered fiscal year 2003. We made decisions to abandon certain vertical markets and focus our sales and marketing resources with our business alliance partners in particular vertical markets such as retail banking, insurance, consumer financial
services, telecommunications and consumer direct industries.



The restructuring and cost control initiatives that occurred in fiscal year 2002 reduced our expense levels by $4.3 million per quarter. The restructuring and cost control initiatives that occurred in fiscal year 2003 reduced our expense
levels an additional $1.3 million per quarter, resulting in a cost structure that we believe is better aligned with anticipated revenues. The majority of the $1.3 million in quarterly expense savings from the 2003 restructuring was derived from our
workforce reduction.



As part of the fiscal year 2003
restructuring, we entered into an agreement with an independent contracting company with global technical resources and an operations center in Bangalore, India. The agreement provides for the independent contractor, at our direction, to attract,
train, assimilate and retain sufficient highly qualified personnel to perform technical support and certain sustaining engineering functions. In fiscal year 2004, we plan to significantly increase the size of this organization and expand its scope
as employee reductions occur throughout the year. Severance costs associated with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 employee reductions were accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for Post-employment
Benefits. Other one-time benefit arrangements are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.



| |  |  | Workforce reduction.    The restructuring program resulted in the reduction of 74 regular employees and 108 regular employees during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. All areas of the Company were affected by this restructuring. We recorded a total workforce reduction expense relating to severance and benefits of approximately $2.0 million and $3.8 million for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidation of excess facilities.    We accrued for lease costs of $0.2 million and $2.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, pertaining to the estimated future obligations for non-cancelable lease payments for the consolidation of excess facilities relating to lease terminations and non-cancelable lease costs. This expense included estimated sub-lease income
based on current comparable rates for leases in the respective markets. If facilities rental rates continue to decrease in these markets or if it takes longer than expected to sublease these facilities, the maximum amount by which the actual loss
could exceed the original estimate is approximately $1.4 million.

Amounts related to the net lease expenses due to the consolidation of facilities will be paid over the lease terms through fiscal year 2011. As of
December 31, 2003, $4.3 million related to the restructuring reserve remains outstanding and is included in the accrued expenses line item on the balance sheet. The remaining accrual primarily relates to the termination and/or sublease of our excess
facilities and to severance and other benefits for impacted employees which we expect to pay out by December 31, 2004.

##### Table of Contents

The total charge and related cash outlay related to our restructurings are based on managements
current estimates, which may change materially if further consolidations are required or if actual lease-related expenditures or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. We will review the status of our obligations related to the
restructurings quarterly and, if appropriate, record changes in estimates related to these obligations in current operations.



Because the benefits related to our restructuring are derived from managements estimates, which are based on currently available information, we may
not achieve the benefits currently anticipated or on the timetable or at the level currently contemplated.



Purchased in-process research and development.    In-process research and development expense represents acquired technology
that, on the date of acquisition, had not achieved technological feasibility and did not have an alternative future use, based on the state of development. Because the product under development may not achieve commercial viability, the amount of
acquired in-process research and development was immediately expensed. The nature of the efforts required to develop the purchased in-process research and development into a commercially viable product principally relate to the completion of all
planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its designed specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements.



During 2002, we expensed $1.0 million related to acquired
in-process technology attributable to the acquisition of OnDemand. There was no purchased in-process research and development expense in fiscal year 2003.



The value of the purchased in-process research and development was determined by estimating the projected net cash flows related to the product,
determined based upon our estimates of costs to complete the development of the technology and the future revenue to be earned upon commercialization of the products. The estimated stage of completion (expressed as a percentage of completion) for
each project was calculated and then was applied to the net cash flows for the product. The cash flows were then discounted back to their net present value.



Other Income, Net, and Interest Expense



Other income, net, and interest expense consist primarily of interest income generated from our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments,
interest expense incurred in connection with outstanding borrowings, realized foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating income and expenses. Interest expense decreased to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $0.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease is due primarily to the payoff of outstanding borrowings during fiscal year 2003. Other income, net decreased to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $0.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in other income, net is mainly attributable to lower return on our investments as a result of our declining investment balances and lower interest rates, the write-off of a long outstanding
acquisition-related balance and an asset write-off of disposed property and equipment.



Provision for Income Taxes



Our provisions for income taxes were $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The provisions were attributable to taxes on earnings from our foreign subsidiaries.



Our deferred tax assets primarily consist of net operating loss
carryforwards, nondeductible allowances and research and development tax credits. We have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets, as the future realization of the tax benefit is not considered by management
to be more-likely-than-not.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001



Revenues



License.    Total license revenues decreased to
approximately $32.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $39.7 million, or approximately 18%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. License revenues for enterprise solutions decreased to approximately $26.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002 from $27.0 million, or approximately 1%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. License revenues for marketing solutions decreased to approximately $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $12.7 million, or
approximately 53%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The overall license revenue decrease was primarily due to the decline in the number of application product implementations by new customers.



Service.    Total service revenues, which include
reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, increased to approximately $41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $37.8 million, or approximately 9%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. Service revenues for enterprise solutions increased
to approximately $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $28.4 million, or less than 1%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. Service revenues for marketing solutions increased to approximately $12.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002 from $9.4 million, or approximately 35%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The overall service revenue increase was primarily due to a continuation in large customer implementations as well as maintenance, support and
consulting revenues associated with license agreements.



Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (which is included in total service revenues) increased to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $1.5 million, or approximately 33%, for the year ended December 31, 2001.



Cost of Revenues



License.    Cost of license revenues decreased to
$1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $2.0 million, or approximately 20%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. License gross margins were approximately 95% for both years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The cost of
license revenues is in line with the decrease of our license revenue. We expect cost of license revenues to remain in the range of four to six percent of license revenues.



Service.    Cost of service revenues decreased to $29.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2002 from $32.1 million, or approximately 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. These costs resulted in service gross margins of 28% and 15% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Service gross margins improved mainly as
the result of combined effects of restructuring actions implemented, increased efficiencies and reduced spending.



Stock-based compensation.    Stock-based compensation included in cost of revenues remained flat at $0.7 million for both years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



Operating
Expenses



Sales and
marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $41.7 million, or approximately 22%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in these expenses were
mainly attributable to a decrease of $6.9 million in personnel related expenses due to a decrease in headcount and commission expenses, a decrease of $2.0 million in marketing programs and professional services and a $0.2 million decrease in
facilities and overhead expenses.



Research and
development.    Research and development expenses, decreased to $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $20.5 million, or approximately 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was mainly due to
a decrease of $0.9 million in outside consulting expense. This decrease was partially

offset by an increase of $0.3 million in personnel related expenses and $0.2 million in allocated depreciation and overhead costs.



General and administrative.    General and
administrative expenses decreased to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $9.6 million, or approximately 20%, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of $1.5 million in personnel related
expenses due to a decrease in headcount and $0.4 million in professional services expenses.



Stock-based compensation expense.    In connection with the grant of certain employee stock options, we recorded aggregate unearned stock-based compensation expenses of $14.8 million. This
balance represents the total difference between the exercise price of the option and the deemed fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of issuance in relation to options granted prior to our initial public offering. During
2002, we recorded amortization of stock-based compensation expense related to the grant of certain employee stock options of $1.6 million compared to $2.7 million in 2001. At December 31, 2002, approximately $1.5 million of unearned stock-based
compensation remained to be amortized.



On August 23, 2002, we
implemented a stock option exchange program (the Program). Under the Program, holders of outstanding options with an exercise price of $3.00 or greater per share (the Eligible Options) were given the choice of retaining these
options or canceling the options in exchange for (i) restricted shares of common stock (Restricted Stock) to be issued as soon as possible after the expiration of the Program period and/or (ii) replacement options issuable six (6) months
and one (1) day following the cancellation of the Program (Replacement Options) at the closing market price on that date. On October 4, 2002, we amended the Program to provide the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
the Company, if they participated in the Program, with a Separate Restricted Stock Agreement (the CEO and CFO Agreement), which includes specific vesting provisions based on achieving certain financial performance goals. There were
11,668,875 options subject to the Program, which closed on October 9, 2002.



Employees tendered 8,109,640 stock options and received 2,780,967 shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Program. In addition, employees tendered 672,948 stock options, which were cancelled and to the extent an
employee was still with the Company were replaced six (6) months and one (1) day following the expiration of the Program. The tendered stock options represented approximately 59% of our total outstanding stock options as of the expiration date of
the Program.



In addition, in October 2002, we issued 3,706,745
shares of Restricted Stock to our employees residing in the United Kingdom, including to our Chief Executive Officer. The Restricted Stock issued to our Chief Executive Officer is subject to the CEO and CFO Agreement.



The Program has been accounted for under the guidance of Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue No. 00-23, Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, and Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensationan Interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25. Because we offered to cancel existing fixed stock options in exchange for a grant of restricted stock within six months of the cancellation date of the existing options, the Eligible Options became subject to variable
accounting treatment at the commencement date of the Program. Variable accounting ceased upon cancellation of the tendered options. A total of 2,886,287 Eligible Options that were not tendered will remain subject to variable accounting. We recorded
$6.1 million of unearned stock-based compensation expense based on the fair market value of the Restricted Stock at the date of issuance of which $1.2 million was recorded as compensation expense at December 31, 2002. We recorded $0.6 million of
unearned stock-based compensation expense related to the options that were not tendered based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at December 31, 2002 of which $0.2 million was expensed at December 31,
2002. The compensation expense on variable options will be re-measured at the end of each operating period until the options are exercised, forfeited or expired. Depending upon movements in the market value of our common stock, this accounting
treatment may result in significant additional stock-based compensation charges in future periods.

We also recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million for both the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001 in conjunction with notes receivable with current and former executives.

In September 2001, we
issued warrants to Accenture plc to purchase up to 600,000 shares of our Common Stock subject to performance based vesting. No warrants have vested through December 31, 2003.



On August 12, 2002, we entered into an agreement with IBM to market our products and services to customers. We issued a
fully vested and exercisable warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock in connection with this agreement. The exercise price is set at $2.25 per share. The warrants expire on August 12, 2007. The warrants were valued at $0.1 million
based on the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility: 105%, risk-free rate: 3.22% and fair market value of our common stock at the grant date: $0.84. The value of the warrants was recorded as a prepaid expense, and will be
offset against revenue on future IBM revenue generating transactions.



Amortization of intangibles.    Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $3.7 million of which $0.4 million is attributable to the acquisition of OnDemand in April 2002 and $1.8
million is attributable to the acquisition of Prime Response in March 2001. The remaining balance of $1.5 million is related to the acquisitions of certain assets from ActionPoint and ASP Outfitter in May 2001 and technology from EDS in December
2001.



Restructuring
expense.    During 2002, several areas of the Company were restructured to prioritize our initiatives around services, sales, training and research and development business, reduce expenses and improve efficiency in order to
achieve cash flow and profitability breakeven in the near future. This restructuring program included a worldwide workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities and restructuring of certain business functions.



| |  |  | Workforce reduction.    The restructuring program resulted in the reduction of 108 regular employees representing annual savings of approximately $10
million. All areas of the Company were affected by this restructuring. We recorded a total workforce reduction charge of approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 relating to severance and benefits.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidation of excess facilities.    We accrued for lease costs of $2.8 million during 2002 pertaining to the estimated future obligations for
non-cancelable lease payments for the consolidation of excess facilities relating to lease terminations and non-cancelable lease costs. This charge included estimated sub-lease income based on current comparable rates for leases in the respective
markets. The consolidation of excess facilities represents an annual savings of approximately $0.2 million.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



On March 27, 2001 we completed the acquisition of Prime Response. In connection with the acquisition, we restructured several areas to prioritize our
initiatives around high-growth areas of our business, reduce expenses, and improve efficiency due to macro-economic conditions. This restructuring program included a worldwide workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, and
restructuring of certain business functions.

| |  |  | Workforce reduction.    The restructuring program resulted in the reduction of 11 regular employees, seven in the general and administrative function in
the U.S. and four in the sales and marketing function based outside the U.S. The workforce reductions were completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2001. We recorded a workforce reduction charge of approximately $0.7 million relating primarily
to severance and benefits.

| |  |  | Consolidation of excess facilities.    We accrued for lease costs of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2001 pertaining to the estimated future gross
obligations for non-cancelable lease payments for excess facilities that were vacated due to reductions in workforce. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, we entered into a favorable sublease transaction, which led to a $0.2 million reduction in
the corresponding facilities charge.

Purchased in-process research and development.    In-process research and development expense represents acquired technology
that, on the date of acquisition, had not achieved technological feasibility and did not have an alternative future use, based on the state of development. Because the product under development may not achieve commercial viability, the amount of
acquired in-process research and development was immediately expensed. The nature of the efforts required to develop the purchased in-process research and development into a commercially viable product principally relate to the completion of all
planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its designed specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements.



During 2002, we expensed $1.0 million related to acquired
in-process technology attributable to the acquisition of OnDemand. During 2001, we expensed a total of $3.0 million related to acquired in-process technology of which $1.5 million is attributable to the acquisition of Prime Response, $0.4 million is
attributable to the acquisition of certain assets of ActionPoint, $0.8 million is attributable to certain assets acquired from ASP Outfitter and $0.3 million is attributable to certain assets acquired from Pyxis, Inc.



The value of the purchased in-process research and development was determined
by estimating the projected net cash flows related to the product, determined based upon our estimates of costs to complete the development of the technology and the future revenue to be earned upon commercialization of the products. The estimated
stage of completion (expressed as a percentage of completion) for each project was calculated and then was applied to the net cash flows for the product. The cash flows were then discounted back to their net present value.



Amortization of goodwill.    There was no
amortization of goodwill from 2002 as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. We ceased to amortize the unamortized goodwill balances of approximately $20.7 million,
including $2.7 million of acquired workforce-in- place that was reclassified to goodwill during 2002. Additionally, there was no amortization of the $4.2 million of goodwill recorded as a result of the OnDemand acquisition. Amortization of goodwill
during the year ended December 31, 2001 represented $6.6 million.

##### Table of Contents

Other Income, Net, and Interest Expense



Other income, net, and interest expense consist primarily of interest income
generated from our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, interest expense incurred in connection with outstanding borrowings, realized foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating income and expenses. Interest expense
increased to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase is due primarily to borrowings assumed as part of the acquisition of OnDemand in 2002. Other income, net
decreased to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in other income, net is mainly attributable to lower interest income on our investments as a result of our declining
investment balances and lower interest rates, a $0.5 million contract termination fee received in 2001 and the effect of currency translation gains and losses.



Provision for Income Taxes



Our provisions for income taxes were $0.2 million for both years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The provisions were attributable to
taxes on earnings from our foreign subsidiaries.



Our deferred
tax assets primarily consist of net operating loss carryforwards, nondeductible allowances and research and development tax credits. We have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets, as the future realization
of the tax benefit is not considered by management to be more-likely-than-not.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our cash,
cash equivalents, and short-term investments and restricted cash and long-term restricted cash consist principally of money market funds, a certificate of deposit and marketable equity securities, which totaled $38.3 million at December 31, 2003.
All of our short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale under the provisions of SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The securities are carried at fair market value. Gains and losses
on investments are recognized when realized on the consolidated statements of income.



Cash used in operating activities was $7.7 million, $11.1 million and $27.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash used in operating activities during fiscal year 2003
consisted primarily of our net loss of $16.4 million adjusted for non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock based compensation expense) of approximately $14.6 million and the net cash outflow effect from changes in
assets and liabilities of approximately $5.9 million. During fiscal year 2003, the following occurred which contributed to the net cash outflow effect from changes in assets and liabilities: (i) deferred revenues decreased as long-term support
and maintenance revenues were recognized for which cash was received in prior years; (ii) accounts payable decreased as the Company paid off prior year balances and continued to closely manage 2003 operating expenses; (iii) accrued expenses
decreased as a result of payments for restructuring-related accruals, commissions and bonuses which were partially offset by current year accruals; and (iv) accounts receivable increased due to higher fourth quarter revenues in 2003 than in 2002.
Cash used in operating activities during fiscal year 2002 consisted primarily of our net loss of $32.3 million adjusted for non-cash items (primarily depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expense and purchased in-process
research and development) of approximately $12.7 million and the net cash inflow effect from changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $8.5 million. During fiscal year 2002, the following occurred which contributed to the net cash inflow
effect from changes in assets and liabilities: (i) accounts receivable decreased due to lower fourth quarter revenues in 2002 than in 2001; (ii) prepaid expenses decreased as prepaid commission expenses were recognized and prepaid acquisition
related balances were utilized; (iii) accrued expenses increased due to restructuring activities implemented in 2002; and (iv) deferred revenue decreased as license revenue contracts signed in 2001 were completed and recognized in 2002.

Cash provided by investing activities was $8.1 million, $7.8 million and $11.8 million during the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During fiscal year 2003, the following occurred: (i) proceeds from net maturities of short-term investments totaled $8.6 million and were reinvested into cash and cash equivalent investments
to be available to fund operating activities; and (ii) capital expenditures totaled $0.6 million. During fiscal year 2002, the following occurred: (i) proceeds from net maturities of short-term investments totaled $13.4 million and were
reinvested into cash and cash equivalent investments to be available to fund operating activities; (ii) cash paid for the acquisition of OnDemand (net of cash acquired) totaled $4.8 million; and (iii) capital expenditures totaled $1.5 million.



Cash provided by financing activities was $1.9 million, $5.8
million and $1.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During fiscal year 2003, the following occurred: (i) repaid $4.7 million of borrowings including $3.5 million of borrowings entered into during
2003; (ii) received proceeds of $1.3 million from the issuance of common stock as part of the employee stock purchase plan; (iii) received proceeds of $1.0 million from the exercise of employee stock options; and (iv) received proceeds of $0.9
million from the collection of notes receivables. During fiscal year 2002, the following occurred: (i) obtained net proceeds of $3.0 million from the sale of 479,100 shares of our common stock to Canadian Imperial Holdings, Inc.; (ii) received
proceeds of $1.9 million from the issuance of common stock as part of the employee stock purchase plan; (iii) received proceeds of $1.5 million from the exercise of employee stock options; (iv) repaid $1.2 million of borrowings net of $0.4 million
of borrowings entered into during 2002; and (v) received proceeds of $0.5 million from the collection of notes receivables.



At December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had a balance of $1.5 million in the form of short-term investments that meet the qualification to be considered cash
equivalents, which were restricted from withdrawal. This balance serves as a security deposit in a post-contract customer support revenue transaction. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, we also had an interest bearing certificate of deposit classified
as short-term investments and restricted cash which serves as collateral for a $0.4 million letter of credit security deposit for a leased facility.



Borrowings consisted of several notes payable for equipment leases assumed by Chordiant upon the acquisition of OnDemand. Interest rates ranged from
12.86% to 15.61%. We paid off all outstanding note payable balances in December 2003.



Our two-year line of credit with Comerica Bank, effective from March 28, 2003, is comprised of an accounts receivable line and an equipment line. The terms of the line of credit require us to maintain a minimum quick
ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, a tangible net worth of at least $15.0 million plus 60% of the proceeds of any equity offerings and subordinated debt issuances subsequent to the effective date of the line of credit agreement, and certain other covenants.



Under the terms and conditions of the accounts receivable
line, the total amount of the line of credit is $5.0 million. Borrowings under the accounts receivable line of credit will bear interest at the lending banks prime rate plus 0.5%. Advances are available on a non-formula basis up to $2.0
million (non-formula portion); however, if advances exceed $2.0 million, then subsequent advances cannot exceed 80% of eligible accounts receivable balances, and the bank would hold a security interest in those accounts receivable.



Borrowings under the new $2.5 million equipment line bear interest at the
lending banks prime rate plus 1.0%, and the bank would hold a security interest in the equipment. In March 2003, we borrowed $2.5 million against the equipment line of credit. We paid off the outstanding line of credit balance in December
2003. As of December 31, 2003, we were in compliance with the respective debt covenants.



We have no material commitments for capital expenditures or strategic commitments and we anticipate a low rate of capital expenditures. We may use cash to acquire or license technology, products or businesses related
to our current business. In addition, we anticipate that we will experience low growth in our operating expenses for the foreseeable future and that our operating expenses will be a material use of our cash resources.

Our existing cash,
cash equivalents and investment balances may decline further during fiscal year 2004. However, we believe that the effects of our strategic actions implemented to improve revenue as well as control costs will be adequate to generate sufficient cash
reserves, which, when combined with existing cash balances, we anticipate will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for the next 12 months. If the global economy weakens further, the decline in
cash, cash equivalents and investments balances may be greater than presently anticipated.



We anticipate that operating expenses will continue to be a material use of our cash resources. We may continue to utilize cash resources to fund acquisitions or investments in other businesses, technologies or
product lines. In the long-term, we may require additional funds to support our working capital and operating expense requirements or for other purposes, and may seek to raise these additional funds through public or private debt or equity
financings. There can be no assurance that this additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on reasonable terms. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or to control spending could adversely affect our ability to achieve our
business objectives.



In January 2004, we sold 4,854,368 shares
of our common stock to Acqua Wellington Opportunity I Limited for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.0 million which will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.



Indemnification



As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers, directors and certain employees for
certain events or occurrences while the employee, officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officers or directors lifetime. The maximum potential amount of
future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a Director and Officer insurance policy that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As
a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2003.



We enter into standard indemnification agreements in our ordinary course of
business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally our business partners or customers, in connection with any
patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount
of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated
fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2003.

We enter into arrangements with our business partners, whereby the business partner agrees to provide
services as a subcontractor for our implementations. We may, at our discretion and in the ordinary course of business, subcontract the performance of any of our services. Accordingly, we enter into standard indemnification agreements with our
customers, whereby we indemnify them for other acts, such as personal property damage, of our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however,
we have general and umbrella insurance policies that may enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. We have not incurred significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we
believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2003.



When as part of an acquisition we acquire all of the stock or all of the assets and liabilities of a company, we may assume the liability for certain
events or occurrences that took place prior to the date of acquisition. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make for such obligations is undeterminable at this time. All of these obligations were grandfathered
under the provisions of FIN 45 as they were in effect prior to March 31, 2003. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these liabilities as of December 31, 2003.



We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published
specifications and documentation in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer for a specified period of time. Additionally, we warrant that our maintenance and consulting services will be performed consistent with
generally accepted industry standards. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history, however, we have not incurred significant expense under our product
or services warranties to date. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value on these warranties is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of December 31, 2003.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and change in the market values of our non-traded,
available-for-sale investments.



The following table presents
the amounts of short-term investments and restricted cash that are subject to interest rate risk by year of expected maturity and average interest rates as of December 31, 2003:



|                                           |  |      |     |   |           |   |

|Short-term investments and restricted cash |  | $    | 581 |   |           | $ | 581
|Average interest rates                     |  |      | 1.6 | % |           |   |    



The following table
presents the amounts of short-term investments and restricted cash that are subject to interest rate risk by year of expected maturity and average interest rates as of December 31, 2002:

|                                           |  | 2002 |       |   | FairValue
|Short-term investments and restricted cash |  | $    | 9,245 |   |           | $ | 9,245
|Average interest rates                     |  |      | 2.7   | % |           |   |      



Interest Rate
Risk.    Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We have not used derivative financial instruments to hedge our investment portfolio. We invest excess cash
in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and in high-quality corporate issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We protect and preserve invested funds by limiting default, market and
reinvestment risk. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carries a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while
floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if
forced to sell securities, which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.



Foreign Currency Risk.    International revenues from our foreign subsidiaries accounted for approximately 77% of total
revenues during 2003. International sales are made mostly from our foreign sales subsidiaries in their respective countries and are typically denominated in the local currency of each country. These subsidiaries also incur most of their expenses in
the local currency. Accordingly, all foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency.



Additionally, one of our foreign subsidiaries holds cash equivalent investments in currencies other than their respective local currency. Such holdings
increase our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As exchange rates vary, the holdings may magnify foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or upon translation adversely impact overall expected profitability through foreign currency
losses incurred upon the sale or maturity of the investments. Foreign currency losses, net for the year ended December 31, 2003 was less than $0.1 million.



Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to changing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax
structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility when compared to the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1THE COMPANY:



We (Chordiant Software, Inc.) are an enterprise software
vendor that offers software solutions for global business-to-consumer companies that seek to improve the quality of their customer interactions and to reduce costs through increased employee productivity and process efficiencies. We concentrate on
serving global customers in retail financial services, communications and consumer direct industries. We were incorporated in California in March 1991 and reincorporated in Delaware in October 1997.



We deliver a complete customer solution that includes software applications
and tools and services that enable businesses to integrate their customer information and corporate systems so that they can have an accurate, real-time view of their customers across multiple forms of customer interaction.



We believe our solutions offer great flexibility to businesses to set
business policies and processes to control the quality of servicing, fulfillment and marketing to their customers. Our solutions enable companies to control and change their business policies and processes. We believe that we are leaders in
providing business process driven solutions for customer management.



Our software solutions and architecture are based on leading industry standards that are widely adopted by business customers in the industries we serve. We believe these solutions are capable of being the foundation for contemporary
distributed computing environments required by global business-to-consumer enterprises.



We have incurred losses and negative cash flows during each fiscal year since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we incurred a net loss of approximately $16.4 million and negative cash flows from
operations of approximately $7.6 million. Our cash balances may decline further although we believe that the effects of our strategic actions implemented to improve revenue as well as control costs will be adequate to generate sufficient cash
resources to fund our operations. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or control spending could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.



NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:



Reclassifications



Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation. For balance sheet reporting purposes, certain
accounts receivable balances, principally consisting of unbilled license fees, have been netted against the corresponding deferred revenue balance.



Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 01-14, Income Statement Characterization
of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred, requiring that certain out-of-pocket expenses rebilled to customers be recorded as revenue versus an offset to the related expense. Fiscal year 2001 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to this presentation, as required by EITF No. 01-14. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the impact of reclassification was to increase service revenues and cost of service revenues by $1.5 million.
Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses included in service revenues and cost of service revenues was $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



Principles of consolidation



The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and
those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates



The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods.



On an on-going basis, we evaluate the
estimates, including those related to our allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, restructuring costs, contingencies and the estimates associated with the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting for certain of our revenue contracts. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments



All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from
their date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.



Our short-term investments consist of debt securities with maturities greater than three months at the date of purchase and remaining maturities at the balance sheet date of one year or less. We classify all short-term investments as
available-for-sale. Accordingly, our investments are carried at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Additionally, the cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, amortized cost
approximated fair value and unrealized gains and losses were insignificant due to their short maturities. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002 all short-term investments had maturities of less than one year from the balance sheet date.



The portfolio of short-term investments (including cash and cash equivalents)
consisted of the following (in thousands):

Restricted cash



At December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had a balance of $1.5 million in the form
of short-term investments that meet the qualification to be considered cash equivalents, which were restricted from withdrawal. This balance serves as a security deposit in a post-contract customer support revenue transaction. At December 31, 2003
and 2002, we also had an interest bearing certificate of deposit classified as short-term investments and restricted cash which serves as collateral for a $0.4 million letter of credit security deposit for a leased facility.

Fair value of financial instruments



Our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and borrowings are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The reported amounts of borrowings approximate fair value due to the market value interest rates that these debts bear.



During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we did not
enter into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts.



During the year ended December 31, 2001, we had entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates of underlying assets and liabilities, primarily certain
receivables that were denominated in British pounds. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the gains and losses were insignificant. As of December 31, 2001, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts.



Revenue recognition



We derive revenues from licenses of our software and related services, which include assistance in implementation,
customization and integration, post-contract customer support, training and consulting. The amount and timing of our revenue is difficult to predict and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to
vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in operating losses.



At the time of entering into a transaction, we assess whether any services included within the arrangement require us to perform significant implementation or customization essential to the functionality of our
products. For contracts involving significant implementation or customization essential to the functionality of our products, we recognize the license and professional consulting services revenues using the percentage-of-completion method using
labor hours incurred as the measure of progress towards completion as prescribed by Statement of Position (SOP) No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Product-Type Contracts. The progress toward
completion is measured based on the go-live date. We define the go-live date as the date the essential product functionality has been delivered or the application enters into a production environment or the point at which no
significant additional Chordiant supplied professional services resources are required. Estimates are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. We account for the change in estimate in the period the change was identified.
Provisions for estimated contract losses are recognized in the period in which the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. When we sell additional licenses related to the original licensing agreement, revenue is recognized either upon
delivery if the project has reached the go-live date, or if the project has not reached the go-live date, revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. We classify revenues from these arrangements as license and service revenues
based upon the estimated fair value of each element.



On
contracts for products not involving significant implementation or customization essential to the product functionality, we recognize license revenues when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection
of the fee is probable and delivery has occurred as prescribed by SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.



We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We
generally do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine 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.

CHORDIANT SOFTWARE, INC.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



For arrangements with multiple elements, we recognize revenue for services and post-contract customer
support based upon vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the respective elements. VSOE of fair value for the services element is based upon the standard hourly rates we charge for the services when such services are
sold separately. VSOE of fair value for annual post-contract customer support is established with the optional substantive stated future renewal rates included in the contracts. When contracts contain multiple elements, and VSOE of fair value exists
for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements, principally the license portion, based upon the residual method as prescribed by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect to Certain
Transactions.



In situations in which we are obligated to
provide unspecified additional software products in the future, we recognize revenue as a subscription ratably over the term of the commitment period.



For all sales we use either a signed license agreement or a binding purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our third party systems
integrators are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Revenues from reseller arrangements are recognized on the sell-through method, when
the reseller reports to us the sale of our software products to end-users. Our agreements with customers and resellers do not contain product return rights.



We recognize revenue for post-contract customer support ratably over the support period which ranges from one to three years. Our training and consulting
services revenues are recognized as such services are performed.



Concentrations of credit risk



Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. To date, we have invested excess funds in money market accounts, commercial paper, municipal
bonds and term notes. We have cash equivalents and investments with various high quality institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenues earned from customers located in
North America, Europe, and elsewhere in the world. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers financial condition and, generally, require no collateral from our customers. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses on
customer accounts when deemed necessary.



The following table
summarizes the revenues from customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenues:

Research and Development



Costs incurred in the research and development of new
products and enhancements to existing products are charged to expense as incurred until the technological feasibility of the product or enhancement has been established through the development of a working model. After establishing technological
feasibility, additional development costs incurred through the date the product is available for general release to customers would be capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. To date, the period between achieving technological
feasibility and general release has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, we have not capitalized any software development costs.



Royalties



We have certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is
generally based on a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense was approximately $1.4 million, $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect cost of license revenues to remain
in the range of four to six percent of license revenues.

Acquired Technology



Acquired technology represents developed technology of acquired
businesses. Acquired technology is stated at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the products estimated useful lives, which are typically three years. Acquired in-process technology is expensed during the period of acquisition.

Property and equipment



Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the
estimated useful lives of assets, which range from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the economic life of the asset or the lease term. Property and equipment
acquired in connection with the acquisition of OnDemand, Inc. (OnDemand) were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Purchased internal-use software consists primarily of amounts paid for perpetual licenses to third party
software applications, which are amortized over their estimated useful life, generally three years. Property and equipment, net consists of the following (in thousands):

Goodwill



In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the
discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized
intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. As of January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 142 and have ceased to amortize goodwill. As
of December 31, 2003, net goodwill remaining on our balance sheet was approximately $24.9 million.



We are required to perform an impairment review of our goodwill balance on at least an annual basis. This impairment review involves a two-step process as
follows:



Step 1We compare the fair
value of our reporting units to the carrying value, including goodwill, of each of those units. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the units fair value, we proceed on to Step 2. If a units fair
value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.



Step 2We perform an allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to our identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible
assets and liabilities. This derives an implied fair value for the reporting units goodwill. We then compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill. If the
carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment charge would be recognized for the excess.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



We determined that we have one reporting unit. We completed our annual goodwill impairment review
during the fourth quarter of 2003 and performed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment analysis required by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2003 using the
methodology described above. Accordingly, Step 2 was not performed. We will continue to test for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value
of our reporting units below their carrying amount.



Finite-lived
intangibles and long-lived assets



Purchased technology
and other identifiable intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes other identifiable intangibles on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The range of estimated useful lives on the
Companys identifiable intangibles is one to three years (refer to Note 5).



We account for finite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under this standard, the Company reviews
finite-lived intangibles or long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Factors which are considered important that could
trigger an impairment include, but are not limited to, the following:



| |  |  | Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Market capitalization relative to net book value; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Based upon the existence of one or more of the
above indicators of impairment, we measure impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model.



Advertising costs



Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2002 and 2001 totaled $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.



Stock-based compensation



We account for
stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, FASB Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44),
Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Based Compensationan Interpretation of APB No. 25, and related interpretations and comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. Under APB No. 25 and FIN 44, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of our stock and the exercise price of the stock option being granted. Stock-based
compensation is amortized in accordance with FIN 28 using the

multiple option approach. SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.



We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.



We have adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the methods of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As permitted by SFAS 148 and SFAS 123, we continue to apply the accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We generally grant stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant and, therefore, under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation
expense is recognized in the statements of operations. Had we recorded compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value, as defined by SFAS No. 123, for awards granted under our stock option plans and stock purchase plan, our net
loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The weighted average fair value of options granted in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $0.88,
$1.51 and $1.80, respectively. The weighted average fair value of share purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plan during fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $0.32, $1.11 and $1.35, respectively.



Because the determination of the fair value of all options granted after we
became a public entity includes an expected volatility factor in addition to the other factors described in the table above and because additional option grants are expected to be made each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not
representative of the pro forma effects of option grants on reported results for future years.

Foreign currency translation



The functional currency of our foreign entities is their
respective local currency. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rates at each balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the year. The
related unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) as a separate component of stockholders equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange
transactions are included in other income, net and were not significant during the periods presented.



Income taxes



Income
taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The
measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.



Net loss per share



Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share includes potential common shares unless their effect is anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using
the treasury stock method) and common shares subject to repurchase by us.

Other comprehensive income (loss)



For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive income (loss) were $2.4 million, $1.3 million and $(0.5) million. There were no other items included in other comprehensive income (loss) other than our net loss for each respective
year.



NOTE 3RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:



Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. The
adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends and
clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 is
generally effective for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in certain contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149
did not have a significant impact upon our financial position or results of operations.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial
instruments that under previous guidance issuers could account for as equity. It requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. The guidance in SFAS No. 150 is generally effective for all financial

instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective on July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a significant
impact upon our financial position or results of operations.



In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires us to consolidate a variable interest entity if we are subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest
entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest
entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not currently have any variable interest entities and, accordingly, the
adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides
guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The value of the
shares issued was determined based on our market price two days before and two days after the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed upon and announced.



The value of the options included in the purchase price was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. To the extent that services were
required subsequent to the date of the acquisition to vest in the replacement unvested options, the intrinsic value of the unvested options was deducted from the fair value of the options issued and allocated to unearned compensation. The amount
allocated to unearned compensation will be recognized as compensation expense over the remaining future vesting period.



The total purchase price for each acquisition has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

The value of the purchased in-process research and development was determined by estimating the
projected net cash flows related to the product under development, determined based upon our estimates of costs to complete the development of the technology and the future revenue to be earned upon commercialization of the products. The estimated
stage of completion (expressed as a percentage of completion) was calculated and then applied to the net cash flow for the product. Discount rates of 30%, 40%, 25% and 35% were applied to the projected cash flows of the in-process research and
development to determine their net present value for the OnDemand, ASP Outfitter (AoNet), ActionPoint (Dialog Server) and Prime Response products under development, respectively. OnDemands in-process research and development efforts consisted
of one project for which the estimated state of completion was approximately 25%. In-process research and development efforts associated with the acquisition from ASP Outfitter consisted of one project for which the estimated state of completion was
approximately 50%. In-process research and development efforts associated with the Dialog Server assets acquired from ActionPoint consisted of one project for which the estimated state of completion was approximately 75%. Prime Responses
in-process research and development efforts consisted of three projects for which the estimated states of completion were approximately 47%, 21% and 79%. The in-process research and development efforts from all of the above 2002 and 2001
acquisitions were completed as of December 31, 2003 and no significant developments occurred that resulted in material changes to the original assumptions used to record the acquisitions.



The value attributed to in-process research and development was charged to expense in the period the acquisitions were
consummated. The write-offs were necessary because the acquired in-process technologies had not yet reached technological feasibility, and in our opinion, have no future alternative uses. The product under development may not achieve commercial
viability. The nature of the efforts required to develop the purchased in-process research and development into a commercially viable product principally relate to the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing
activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its designed specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements.



The value allocated to the assembled workforce was determined by estimating the cost involved in assembling a new workforce
including costs of salaries, benefits, training and recruiting. Workforce in place is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, which is between two and three years. On January 1, 2002, we reclassified the value
allocated to workforce in place along with its related accumulated amortization to existing goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142 (See Note 5).



The excess of purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill and was being
amortized over a three year period on a straight-line basis. Beginning on January 1, 2002, our unamortized balance of goodwill was no longer amortized, but will continue to be subject to a periodic impairment assessment in accordance with SFAS 142
(See Note 5).



The following unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial information reflects the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as if the acquisitions of OnDemand, Prime Response, assets associated with Dialog Server from ActionPoint and assets associated with AoNet from
ASP Outfitter had occurred at the beginning of each period presented, after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only, do not purport to be indicative of what operating
results would have been had the acquisitions actually taken place at the beginning of each period, and may not be indicative of future operating results (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 5GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS:



On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment under certain circumstances and written down when impaired. It also requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill to be
amortized over their useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. We ceased amortizing goodwill totaling approximately $20.7 million as of the beginning of fiscal 2002, including $2.7 million of acquired workforce intangibles
previously classified as purchased intangible assets. Our purchase of OnDemand increased our goodwill by $4.2 million to $24.9 million at December 31, 2002.

All of our acquired
intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are subject to amortization and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives which are as follows: Developed technologiesone and one half to
three years; purchased technologiesthree years; tradenamesthree years; customer listthree years. Aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets totaled $3.6 million, $3.7 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December
31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect amortization expense on purchased intangible assets to be $1.3 million in fiscal 2004 and $0.1 million in fiscal 2005, at which time existing purchased intangible assets will be fully amortized.



NOTE 6ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY AND
DISPOSITION OF MARKETING SERVICE PROVIDER BUSINESS:



In
December 2001, we acquired from EDS certain XML interface technology for $0.7 million.



In October 2001, we acquired certain intellectual property assets and technology of the iApply technology from Pyxis, Inc. At the time of the acquisition, the technology consisted of one project that had not reached
technological feasibility and had no alternative use. As a result, the total consideration of $0.3 million was expensed as in-process research and development.



On September 24, 2001, we sold our Marketing Service Provider Business (the Business) for cash proceeds of $1.6 million to HNC Software
International, Inc. The Business was acquired from Prime Response. The results of operations of the Business of $150,000 from the date of acquisition of Prime Response to the date of the sale of the Business are included in our results of
operations. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale of the Business.



NOTE
7RESTRUCTURING:



Restructuring Costs. During fiscal
years 2003 and 2002, based upon our continued evaluation of economic conditions in the information technology industry and our expectations regarding revenue levels, we restructured several areas of the Company to reduce expenses and improve our
revenue per employee. This restructuring program included a worldwide workforce reduction and consolidation of excess facilities and certain business functions. We believe that these reductions and realignments have resulted and will continue to
result in a more responsive management structure.



We aligned
our research and development spending with anticipated revenues in 2002 and 2003 after consolidating five acquisitions and integrating the various technologies into Chordiant solutions. We anticipate

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



that we will continue to devote adequate resources to develop new products and new versions of Chordiant solutions.



We also aligned our sales and marketing resources and expense levels with
anticipated revenues as we entered fiscal year 2003. We made decisions to abandon certain vertical markets and focus our sales and marketing resources with our business alliance partners in particular vertical markets such as retail banking,
insurance, consumer financial services, telecommunications and consumer direct industries.



The restructuring and cost control initiatives that occurred in fiscal year 2002 reduced our expense levels by $4.3 million per quarter. The restructuring and cost control initiatives that occurred in fiscal year 2003
reduced our expense levels an additional $1.3 million per quarter, resulting in a cost structure that we feel is better aligned with anticipated revenues. The majority of the $1.3 million in quarterly expense savings from the 2003 restructuring were
derived from our workforce reduction.



As part of the fiscal
year 2003 restructuring, we entered into an agreement with an independent contracting company with global technical resources and an operations center in Bangalore, India. The agreement provides for the independent contractor, at our direction, to
attract, train, assimilate and retain sufficient highly qualified personnel to perform technical support and certain sustaining engineering functions. In fiscal year 2004, we plan to significantly increase the size of this organization and expand
its scope as employee reductions occur throughout the year. Severance costs associated with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 employee reductions were accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for
Post-Employment Benefits. Other one-time benefit arrangements are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.



Workforce reduction



The restructuring program resulted in the reduction of 74 regular employees and 108 regular employees during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. All areas of the Company were affected by this restructuring. We recorded a total workforce reduction expense relating to severance and benefits of approximately $2.0 million and $3.8 million for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



Consolidation of excess
facilities



We accrued for lease costs of $0.2 million and
$2.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, pertaining to the estimated future obligations for non-cancelable lease payments for the consolidation of excess facilities relating to lease terminations and
non-cancelable lease costs. This expense included estimated sub-lease income based on current comparable rates for leases in the respective markets. If facilities rental rates continue to decrease in these markets or if it takes longer than expected
to sublease these facilities, the maximum amount by which the actual loss could exceed the original estimate is approximately $1.4 million.

Amounts related to the net lease expenses due to the consolidation of facilities will be paid over the lease terms through fiscal year 2011. As of
December 31, 2003, $4.3 million related to the restructuring reserve remains outstanding and is included in the accrued expenses line item on the balance sheet. The remaining accrual primarily relates to the termination and/or sublease of our excess
facilities and to severance and other benefits for impacted employees which we expect to pay out by December 31, 2004.



NOTE 8RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:



During the first quarter of 2002, two of our executives exercised 285,000 stock options in exchange for notes receivable (the Notes) of
$496,000. The Notes were full-recourse collateralized by the underlying stock. The Notes were due in February and March 2003 and accrued interest between 6.0% and 6.5% per annum, which was deemed market rates for the individuals. Both notes were
paid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.



During
2000, we issued to one of our executives 200,000 shares of common stock subject to a right of repurchase in exchange for a note receivable (the Note) of $800,000. The Note was collateralized by the underlying stock and bore interest at a
rate of 5.88%. In 2001, we repurchased a total of 117,000 unvested shares at the original exercise price, cancelled the repurchased shares and forgave the remaining balance of the Note. A compensation expense of $540,000 was recorded as of December
31, 2001.



In 1999, two former executives exercised 288,000
stock options covering an aggregate of 288,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for notes receivables in the amount of $400,000 and $51,000. The notes were full-recourse collateralized by the underlying stock. The notes were assessed by us to
be fully collectible, based on our understanding of the financial standing of the individuals. We perform periodic reviews of the recoverability of our outstanding notes receivables. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we determined that collection of
these two notes was no longer probable although we would still actively pursue collection of both notes. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $451,000 as stock compensation expense. In December 2003, we were successful in obtaining a
payment of $448,000 from one former executive for his outstanding note receivable plus interest. The principal portion was $400,000 of the total payment and was recorded as a credit to compensation expense.

NOTE 9BORROWINGS:



Notes payable



Borrowings consisted of several notes payable for equipment leases assumed by Chordiant upon the acquisition of OnDemand. Interest rates ranged from
12.86% to 15.61%. We paid off all outstanding note payable balances in December 2003.



Revolving line of credit



Our two-year line of
credit with Comerica Bank, effective from March 28, 2003, is comprised of an accounts receivable line and an equipment line. The terms of the line of credit require us to maintain a minimum quick ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, a tangible net worth of at
least $15.0 million plus 60% of the proceeds of any equity offerings and subordinated debt issuances subsequent to the effective date of the line of credit agreement, and certain other covenants.



Under the terms and conditions of the accounts receivable line, the total
amount of the line of credit is $5.0 million. Borrowings under the accounts receivable line of credit will bear interest at the lending banks prime rate plus 0.5%. Advances are available on a non-formula basis up to $2.0 million (non-formula
portion); however, if advances exceed $2.0 million, then subsequent advances cannot exceed 80% of eligible accounts receivable balances, and the bank would hold a security interest in those accounts receivable.



Borrowings under the new $2.5 million equipment line bear interest at the
lending banks prime rate plus 1.0%, and the bank would hold a security interest in the equipment. In March 2003, we borrowed $2.5 million against the equipment line of credit. We paid off the outstanding line of credit balance in December
2003. As of December 31, 2003, we were in compliance with the respective debt covenants.



We have no material commitments for capital expenditures or strategic commitments and we anticipate a low rate of capital expenditures. We may use cash to acquire or license technology, products or businesses related
to our current business. In addition, we anticipate that we will experience low growth in our operating expenses for the foreseeable future and that our operating expenses will be a material use of our cash resources.



NOTE 10COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:



We lease our facilities and some equipment under noncancellable operating
leases that expire on various dates through 2011. Rent expense is recognized ratably over the lease term. Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

We entered into a two-year agreement, beginning March 19, 2002, with Business Agility (formerly Merit
International), pursuant to which Business Agility provides exclusive training and certain non-exclusive consulting services for a fixed fee. Upon the effective date of the agreement, we transferred to Business Agility our training operations
including selected employees. In addition, Business Agility provides to our customers resource development services in exchange for an agreed-upon fee negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. We believe this agreement provides us with high
quality training and consulting services. As part of the original agreement, we were required to pay Business Agility certain minimum revenue amounts and were subject to an early termination fee. In September 2003, we amended the agreement to extend
its effective date through March 2006, and we are no longer required to make minimum revenue payments to Business Agility or pay an early termination fee. As part of the amendment, Business Agility has agreed to share a portion of Business
Agility-Chordiant monthly consulting revenues with us as follows: 0% revenue share of Business Agility-Chordiant monthly consulting revenues of (British Pounds) 0 to 157,000; 10% revenue share of Business Agility-Chordiant monthly consulting
revenues exceeding (British Pounds) 157,001 and up to 300,000; and 15% revenue share of Business Agility-Chordiant monthly consulting revenues exceeding (British Pounds) 300,001.



Indemnification



As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers, directors and certain employees for certain events or occurrences
while the employee, officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officers or directors lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be
required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a Director and Officer insurance policy that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance
policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2003.



We enter into standard indemnification agreements in our ordinary course of
business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally our business partners or customers, in connection with any
patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount
of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated
fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2003.



We enter into arrangements with our business partners, whereby the business partner agrees to provide services as a subcontractor for our implementations.
We may, at our discretion and in the ordinary course of business, subcontract the performance of any of our services. Accordingly, we enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers, whereby we indemnify them for other acts, such
as personal property damage, of our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have general and umbrella insurance policies that may
enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. We have not incurred significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is
minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2003.



When as part of an acquisition we acquire all of the stock or all of the assets and liabilities of a company, we may assume the liability for certain
events or occurrences that took place prior to the date of acquisition. The

maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make for such obligations is undeterminable at this time. All of these obligations were
grandfathered under the provisions of FIN 45 as they were in effect prior to March 31, 2003. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these liabilities as of December 31, 2003.



We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published
specifications and documentation in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer for a specified period of time. Additionally, we warrant that our maintenance and consulting services will be performed consistent with
generally accepted industry standards. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history, however, we have not incurred significant expense under our product
or services warranties to date. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value on these warranties is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of December 31, 2003.



NOTE 11LITIGATION:



Beginning in July 2001, we and certain of our officers and directors were
named as defendants in a series of class action shareholder complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now consolidated under the caption, In re Chordiant Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering
Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-6222. In the amended complaint, the plaintiffs allege that Chordiant, certain of our officers and directors and the underwriters of our initial public offering (IPO) violated Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that Chordiants registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The
complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (Issuers) that conducted IPOs of their common stock in the late 1990s (collectively, the IPO Lawsuits).



In October 2002, the parties agreed to toll the statute of limitations with
respect to Chordiants officers and directors until September 30, 2003, and on the basis of this agreement, our officers and directors were dismissed from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying
the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claims against Chordiant and almost all of the other Issuers and denying the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) claims against Chordiant and many of the Issuers. In June 2003, Issuers and plaintiffs reached a
tentative settlement agreement that would, among other things, result in the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the Issuers and their officers and directors in the IPO Lawsuits, and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential
claims that the Issuers may have against the underwriters. The tentative settlement also provides that, in the event that plaintiffs ultimately recover less than a guaranteed sum of $1 billion from the IPO underwriters, plaintiffs would be entitled
to payment by each participating Issuers insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs guaranteed recovery. Although Chordiant has approved this settlement proposal in principle, it remains subject to a number of
procedural conditions, as well as formal approval by the Court. In September 2003, in connection with the possible settlement, those officers and directors who had entered tolling agreements with plaintiffs (described above) agreed to extend those
agreements so that they would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized.



We are also subject to various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate disposition of these various other claims and legal actions is not expected to have a material
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The components of net loss before taxes are as follows (in thousands):

Our provision for
income taxes was $550,000, $150,000 and $200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the provision for fiscal year 2003 when compared to fiscal year 2002 is due to an increase in earnings from our
foreign subsidiaries. The decrease in the provision for fiscal year 2002 when compared to fiscal year 2001 was due to the reduction of earnings in our foreign subsidiaries.



Deferred tax assets consist of the following (in thousands):

|                                 |  |              |         |   |      |   |         |

The valuation
allowance increased by $2.7 million, $7.2 million and $27.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on a
number of factors, including the lack of a history of profits, future projected taxable income and the fact that the market in which we compete is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, we believe that there is
sufficient uncertainty regarding the realization of deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance has been provided. At December 31, 2003, we had approximately $142.3 million and $20.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards for
federal and state purposes, respectively. These carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income and expire beginning in 2010 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2003, there are approximately $3.2 million of federal credits that begin
to expire in 2010. The California state credits of approximately $3.6 million do not expire.



Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefit from net operating losses that can be carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events that may cause limitations in the
utilization of net operating losses include a cumulative stock ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period and other events. We have not yet determined whether or not operating loss benefits are impaired or limited.

NOTE 13COMMON STOCK:



There were no repurchases of our common stock during
fiscal years 2003 and 2002. During fiscal year 2001, we repurchased 117,000 shares of common stock through the cancellation of a note receivable in the amount of $332,000. We then cancelled all of the repurchased shares.



During 2002, we sold 479,100 shares of our common stock to Canadian Imperial
Holdings, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million for which the principal purpose of the offering is for working capital and other general corporate purposes.



NOTE 14STOCK OPTION EXCHANGE:



On August 23, 2002, we implemented a stock option exchange program (the Program). Under the Program, holders of outstanding options with an
exercise price of $3.00 or greater per share (the Eligible Options) were given the choice of retaining these options or canceling the options in exchange for (i) restricted shares of common stock (Restricted Stock) to be
issued as soon as possible after the expiration of the Program period and/or (ii) replacement options issuable six (6) months and one (1) day following the cancellation of the Program (Replacement Options) at the closing market price on
that date. The Program, as amended, also provided our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, if they participated in the Program, with a Separate Restricted Stock Agreement (the CEO and CFO Agreement), which
includes specific vesting provisions based on achieving certain financial performance goals. There were 11,668,875 options subject to the Program, which closed on October 9, 2002.



Employees tendered 8,109,640 stock options and received 2,780,967 shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Program. In
addition, employees tendered 672,948 stock options, which were cancelled and to the extent an employee was still with the Company were replaced six (6) months and one (1) day following the expiration of the Program. The tendered stock options
represented approximately 59% of our total outstanding stock options as of the expiration date of the Program. In addition, in October 2002, we issued 3,706,745 shares of Restricted Stock to our employees residing in the United Kingdom, including to
our Chief Executive Officer. The Restricted Stock issued to our Chief Executive Officer is subject to the CEO and CFO Agreement. In November 2003, our

then acting Chief Financial Officer left our employ and, as a result, the Company is no longer subject to stock-based compensation expense related to the
vesting of his restricted stock. In connection with the termination, we accelerated the vesting of 154,723 shares of restricted stock resulting in a compensation expense of $0.6 million.



The Program has been accounted for under the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-23, Issues Related to
the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, and Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensationan Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. Because we offered to cancel
existing fixed stock options in exchange for a grant of restricted stock within six months of the cancellation date of the existing options, the Eligible Options became subject to variable accounting treatment at the commencement date of the
Program. Variable accounting ceased upon cancellation of the tendered options. A total of 2,886,287 Eligible Options that were not tendered will remain subject to variable accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2003, $7.6 million was recorded
as stock-based compensation expense. The remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense amounted to approximately $1.5 million at December 31, 2003. The compensation expense on variable options will be re-measured at the end of each operating
period until the options are exercised, forfeited or have expired. Depending upon movements in the market value of our common stock, this accounting treatment may result in significant additional stock-based compensation charges in future periods.



As part of the Program implemented in 2002, we issued 499,068
replacement options at the current market value of $0.88 per share on April 11, 2003 to employees.



On May 4, 2001, we announced a voluntary stock option exchange program for our employees. Under the program, employees were given the opportunity to elect
to cancel outstanding stock options held by them in exchange for an equal number of new options to be granted six months and a day after the exchange took place at the then current fair market value. These elections needed to be made by June 6, 2001
and were required to include all options granted during the prior six-month period. A total of 61 employees elected to participate in the exchange program. Those 61 employees tendered approximately 801,000 options to purchase our common stock in
return for our promise to grant new options on the grant date of December 10, 2001. Approximately 801,000 options were granted at the fair market value of $6.45 per share on December 10, 2001 to those employees who had been continuously employed by
us from the date they tendered their original options through December 10, 2001. The exchange program was also available to our executive officers and directors.



NOTE 15STOCK OPTION PLANS:



1999 Equity Incentive Plan



Our 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the 1999 Plan) provides for the grant to employees of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and for grants to employees, directors and consultants of nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights. Unless terminated sooner, the 1999 Plan will terminate automatically in 2009. A total of
20,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan. The number of shares reserved under the plan automatically increases on October 1st of each year by the greater of (1) 5% of outstanding shares on that date or
(2) the number of shares of common stock subject to stock awards made under the 1999 Plan during the prior twelve month period. However, the automatic increase is subject to reduction by the Board of Directors, and the automatic increase ceases when
20,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1999 Plan. As of December 31, 2003, there were 20,000,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee of
the Board of Directors to which it has delegated this power, and provides generally that the option price shall not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of

grant and that no portion may be exercised beyond ten years from that date. Under the 1999 Plan, stock options vest over a period that is limited to five
years, but are typically granted with a four-year vesting period. Each option outstanding under the 1999 Plan may be exercised in whole or in part at any time. Exercised but unvested shares are subject to repurchase by us at the initial exercise
price. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, 6,000 and 11,000 shares were subject to repurchase, respectively.



1999 Non-Employee Director Option Plan



In November 1999, the 1999 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and became effective on the date of the initial public offering. The Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan
provides for the automatic grant of a nonstatutory option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock to each new non-employee director who becomes a director after the date of our initial public offering on the date that such person becomes a
director. Each current and future non-employee director will automatically be granted an additional nonstatutory option to purchase 7,500 shares on the day after each of our annual meetings of the stockholders. Each director who is a member of a
board committee will automatically be granted an additional nonstatutory option to purchase 5,000 shares on the day after each of our annual meetings of the stockholders. A total of 1,168,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance
under the director plan. The amount reserved under the 1999 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan automatically increases on October 1st of each year by the greater of (1) 0.5% outstanding shares on such date or (2) the number of shares subject to stock
awards made under the director plan during the prior twelve month period. However, the automatic increase is subject to reduction by the Board of Directors.

NOTE 16WARRANTS:



On August 12, 2002, we entered into an agreement with IBM
to market our products and services to customers. We issued a fully vested and exercisable warrant to purchase up to 0.2 million shares of common stock. The exercise price is set at $2.25 per share. The warrant expires on August 12, 2007. The
warrant was valued at $0.1 million based on the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: volatility: 105%, risk-free rate: 3.22% and fair market value of our common stock at the grant date: $0.84. The value of the warrant was recorded as
a prepaid expense and was offset against revenue during 2003 upon the completion of an IBM revenue generating transaction.



In September 2001, we issued a warrant to Accenture plc to purchase up to 0.6 million shares of common stock. The warrant will vest based on achieving
designated sales targets. As of December 31, 2003, no warrants had vested. The exercise price is set at $7.05 per warrant. The warrants expire on September 4, 2006. The warrants will be valued based on the fair market value of our common stock upon
Accenture achieving the revenue targets and the measured amount will be recorded as sales and marketing. As of December 31, 2003, no designated sales targets have been achieved by Accenture.



NOTE 17EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:



401(k) Savings Plan



We sponsor a 401(k) Savings Plan for our full-time employees. Under the 401(k) Plan, each participant may elect to
contribute up to 15% of their pre-tax compensation. During fiscal 2003, we suspended our matching of employee contributions which historically has been at a rate of 50%. Employee contributions are fully vested, whereas vesting in Chordiants
matching contributions occurs at a rate of 33.3% per year of employment. Our contributions to the 401(k) Plan totaled approximately $247,000, $577,000 and $358,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



Defined Contribution Plan



We also sponsor a defined contribution pension plan for the employees of our
United Kingdom sales office. Under the pension plan, employees of the United Kingdom sales office may elect to contribute 5% of their pre-

tax compensation. Our contributions to the pension plan totaled approximately $598,000, $789,000 and $599,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively.



1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan



In November 1999, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
ESPP) was adopted by the Board of Directors and became effective on February 14, 2000, the date of our initial public offering. Eligible employees can have up to 15% of their earnings withheld, to be used to purchase shares of our Common
Stock on every February 15th and August 15th, for a total 24-month term. A new ESPP scheme commences on each 6-month anniversary. An employee may participate in one ESPP scheme at any one time. The price of the Common Stock purchased under the
Purchase Plan will be equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the commencement date of each six-month offering period or the specified purchase date. The amount that may be offered pursuant to this plan is
approximately 6,014,000 shares. In 2003, 2002 and 2001, approximately 2,000,000, 1,341,000 and 555,000 shares were purchased under the ESPP at weighted average prices of $0.64, $1.40 and $2.35, respectively. The amount reserved under the plan will
automatically increase each year by the greater of (1) 0.5% outstanding shares on such date and (2) the number of shares subject to stock awards made under the ESPP during the prior twelve-month period. However, the automatic increase is subject to
reduction by the Board of Directors.

|------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



None.



|ITEM 9A. |  | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- |  | -----------------------



(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures



We carried out an evaluation, as of December 31, 2003, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.



(b) Changes in internal controls



Such evaluation did not identify any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December
31, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.



(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.



The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty,
and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error, mistake or circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. We believe, however, our disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving our disclosure control objectives.

The Audit Committee



Chordiant has a separately-designated standing audit committee (the Audit Committee). As of March 18, 2004, three independent directors
comprise the Audit Committee: David Springett, William Raduchel and Steven R. Springsteel. The Board of Directors (the Board) has determined that Mr. Springsteel qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in
applicable SEC rules. The Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Springsteels level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his formal education and experience as a chief financial officer for public reporting
companies.



Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance



Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
1934 Act) requires the Companys directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Companys equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.



To the Companys knowledge, based solely on a
review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied
with.



Code of Business Conduct and Ethics



The Company has adopted the Chordiant Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
(the Code), which applies to all officers and employees. The Code is available on our website at www.chordiant.com/company/ir/corpgov.html. If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code or grants any waiver from a provision
of the Code to any executive officer, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on its website.

|(1) |  | The potential realizable value information is calculated based on the ten-year term of the option at the time of grant. Stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% is assumed as
prescribed by the rules promulgated by the SEC and does not represent our prediction of our future stock price performance.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | The stock options listed for Messrs. Spadafora and Kelly vest in a series of equal monthly installments over the three years following their date of grant; the stock options listed
for Messrs. Morrison and Swann vest in a series of equal monthly installments over the two years following their date of grant. Our stock option plans allow for the early exercise of options granted to employees. All options exercised early
are subject to repurchase by us at the original exercise price upon the option holders cessation of service to us before the vesting of such holders shares. Each of the options has a ten-year term, subject to earlier termination if the
option holders service with us ceases.

|(3) |  | Percentages shown are based on an aggregate of 4,516,877 options granted to our employees under our stock option plans during the period from January 1, 2003 through December 31,
2003.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) |  | The exercise price of each option is equal to the fair market value of our common stock as valued by the Board on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash, in
shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise, or through a cashless exercise procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchased shares.

Compensation of Directors



Non-employee directors receive cash compensation from us for their services
as members of the Board or for attendance at committee meetings as follows: Directors receive a quarterly retainer of $7,500.00 for service as a member of the Board (subject to attendance at meetings) and $750.00 per quarter for service on the audit
committee and $750.00 per quarter for service on the compensation committee (each subject to attendance at committee meetings). Other committees such as the nominating committee or other special ad hoc committees formed do not carry separate
compensation. Directors are also eligible for reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings in accordance with our policy.



Each non-employee director receives stock option grants under the 1999 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors
Plan) (only non-employee directors of ours or of an affiliate of ours are eligible to receive options under the Directors Plan). Options granted under the Directors Plan are non-discretionary and are intended by us not to qualify
as incentive stock options.



Under the Directors Plan,
each non-employee director is automatically entitled to receive an initial option to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Directors Plan, initial grants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock were
made to those non-employee directors serving on the Board on February 14, 2000, the effective date of our initial public offering. Each director elected or appointed subsequent to February 14, 2000 has received or will receive an initial option to
purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock on the date of such non-employee directors election or appointment to the Board. These option grants are immediately exercisable with 1/3rd of the shares vesting on the anniversary of the grant date
and 1/36th of the shares initially granted vesting each month thereafter that the director serves on the Board, such that all shares are fully vested over 3 years.



In addition, on the day after each of our annual meetings of stockholders, each person who is then a non-employee director
is automatically granted an annual option to purchase 7,500 shares of our common stock. These annual option grants are immediately exercisable, with the shares vesting in equal monthly installments over a year period measured from the date of grant.
If a non-employee director is appointed to the Board between annual meetings, the annual option is prorated to reflect the amount of time to be served until the next annual meeting.

##### Table of Contents

Finally, on the day after each of our annual meetings, each non-employee director who is then serving on
a Board committee will automatically receive, pursuant to the terms of the Directors Plan, an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock. The option is exercisable immediately and vests monthly over the year period measured from the
date of grant. If the non-employee director is appointed to a committee after the annual meeting, the option is prorated according to the time to be served until the next annual meeting.



The exercise price of options granted under the Directors Plan is the fair market value of our common stock on the
date of the grant, as determined by the closing price reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the date of grant. Each option grant made pursuant to the Directors Plan has a term of ten years. However, the time in which an option granted
under the Directors Plan may be exercised ends three months from the date the optionees service with us is terminated, with the exception of termination resulting from death or disability of the optionee, in which case the option
terminates 18 months following such optionees death and 12 months following such optionees disability. In no event, however, may an option be exercised after its term expires.



In addition, in the event of a dissolution, liquidation, sale of substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation
in which we are not the surviving corporation, a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property or
the acquisition by any person, entity or group of the beneficial ownership of our securities representing at least 50% of the combined voting power permitted to vote in the election of directors, then those unvested options issued under the
Directors Plan held by optionees then performing services as an employee or director of, or consultant to, us are accelerated by one year.



As discussed above, we grant options covering 25,000 shares to each non-employee director who becomes a director in the year, each having a per share
exercise price equal to the fair market value of such common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the closing price reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the date of grant. Mr. Raduchel and Mr. Eckert became directors in 2003. Mr.
Springsteel became a director in 2004. As non-employee directors, each received a grant of 25,000 shares.



Employment and Change of Control Agreements



Employment Agreements



On April 24, 1998, we
entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Spadafora. Under the terms of that agreement, Mr. Spadafora is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $250,000 and is eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus of $200,000. As of January 1,
2004, Mr. Spadaforas salary is $250,000 and he is eligible for a bonus of up to 30% of his salary. Mr. Spadafora received a $100,000 hiring bonus upon signing the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr.
Spadafora also received options to purchase 1,809,650 shares of our common stock. In the event we undergo a change in control, which is defined as a sale of substantially all of our assets, a merger in which we are not the surviving
corporation or the transfer of more than 50% of our voting interests, Mr. Spadafora will immediately vest in 50% of his then unvested shares. The agreement also provides that either Mr. Spadafora or we may terminate Mr. Spadaforas employment
at any time. If Mr. Spadaforas employment is terminated without cause, Mr. Spadafora is entitled to receive 12 months of base salary and he will automatically vest in 50% of his then unvested shares.



Effective as of January 1, 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Kelly. Under the terms of that agreement, Mr. Kelly was entitled to receive an annual base salary of $250,000 for 2002 and an annual base salary of $350,000 for 2003. Additionally, under the agreement, Mr. Kelly earned a bonus of $350,000 for
the third calendar quarter of 2002, and was eligible to receive a performance-based bonus of $200,000 for the fourth quarter of 2002, which was neither earned nor paid. Mr. Kellys employment agreement also provides that in the event his
employment relationship is terminated without cause, as defined in Mr. Kellys employment agreement, then the Company will pay Mr. Kelly severance payments equal to Mr. Kellys base salary for twelve

months following his termination date, and the vesting of fifty percent (50%) of all restricted stock and/or options held by Mr. Kelly that are unvested on
the date of his termination will become vested. Under the terms of Mr. Kellys employment agreement, if he resigns or his employment is terminated for cause, then all compensation and benefits from Chordiant will cease
immediately.



Effective as of January 23, 2001, we entered into
an employment agreement with Allen Swann. Mr. Swann assumed the role of president of our international operations on March 27, 2001. Mr. Swann was previously an employee of Prime Response, Inc., a company we acquired on January 8, 2001. Under
the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Swann is entitled to receive and annual base salary of $275,000, additional incentive compensation of up to $725,000, and a one-time retention bonus of $300,000. Mr. Swann was granted two compensatory stock
options on March 27, 2001, for 76,649 shares vesting over 12 months, and 120,000 shares vesting over 24 months, respectively. In 2003, Mr. Swann earned a bonus of $112,709. For 2004, Mr. Swanns salary is £200,000 ($362,820 based
on the currency conversion rate as of March 29, 2004).



Effective as of October 10, 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Michael J. Shannahan. Mr. Shannahan assumed the role of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on October 20, 2003. Under the terms of his employment
agreement, Mr. Shannahan is entitled to receive and annual base salary of $225,000, and is eligible to participate in Chordiants Bonus Program with a 40% targeted payout at 100% achievement of plan objectives. Mr. Shannahan was also eligible
to participate in the year end Executive Bonus Plan (on a pro-rated basis) with a targeted payout of 20% of base compensation, pursuant to his employment agreement. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Shannahan was granted
compensatory stock options on October 27, 2003 for 300,000 shares vesting 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and monthly thereafter, such that the grant completely vests in four years. The agreement also provides that either Mr.
Shannahan or we may terminate Mr. Shannahans employment at any time, for any reason.



Change of Control Agreements



We have entered into Change of Control Agreements with Stephen Kelly, Sam Spadafora, Don Morrison, Allen Swann, and Michael Shannahan (each an Executive). We may in the future enter into these agreements with other executives of
ours. These agreements provide generally that if an Executive is terminated either without cause, as defined in the agreements, or voluntarily leaves employment for good reason, as defined in the agreements, within 90 days
prior to a change of control, as defined in the agreements, or 12 months following a change of control, then the Executive will receive, among other benefits, the following: (1) payment of the Executives salary for a period of 12
months, (2) payment of the Executives annual bonus, (3) continuation of our health and life insurance policies for one year, (4) so long as not prohibited by law, automatic extension of 60 months to repay any promissory note, loan or other
indebtedness to us, and (5) with respect to options and restricted stock, accelerated vesting of a number of shares equal to the greater of (a) 50% of the then-unvested shares, or (b) 12 months worth of vesting.



Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation



None of our executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors
or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or compensation committee.

|(2) |  | Upon our acquisition of Prime Response, Inc. and White Spider Software, Inc. in 2001 and 2000, respectively, we assumed outstanding options of Prime Response and White Spider such
that these options became exercisable for an aggregate of 768,560 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $9.21 per share. As of December 31, 2003, 119,881 options of Prime Response, Inc. and White Spider Software, Inc are
still outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.82. The option plans governing these options terminated other than with respect to the outstanding options, and no options will be granted in the future pursuant to these plans. These
plans were not approved by our stockholders, as no approval was required and the plans were not assumed by us. The shares referenced in this note are not included in any of the numbers set forth in the table.

In March of 2000 the Board adopted our 2000 Nonstatutory Equity Incentive
Plan (the 2000 Plan). Stockholder approval of this plan has not been obtained. The 2000 Plan was in effect as of December 31, 2001. In April of 2002, the Board approved an increase to the number of shares reserved under the 2000 Plan
from 900,000 shares to 2,400,000 shares, also without stockholder approval as such approval was not required by the 2000 Plan or by applicable law. The 2000 Plan does not have a termination date, and will continue indefinitely until suspended or
terminated by the Board. The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options and the issuance of restricted stock and stock bonuses to our employees (other than officers, directors, or beneficial owners of ten percent (10%) or more of
our common stock) and consultants who meet certain eligibility requirements. The terms and price of nonstatutory stock options granted under the 2000 Plan are determined by the Board (or a committee of the Board) and are set forth in each
optionees option agreement. The Board (or a committee of the Board) sets the terms of stock bonuses and rights to purchase restricted stock.

Pre-Approval of Services.



Before the independent accountant is engaged by the Company or its subsidiaries to render audit or non-audit services, the Audit Committee shall
pre-approve the engagement. Audit Committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee
regarding the Companys engagement of the independent accountant, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed of each service provided and such policies and procedures do not
include delegation of the Audit Committees responsibilities under the Exchange Act to the Companys management. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Audit Committee the authority to grant
pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the Audit Committee at a subsequent meeting. If the Audit Committee elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the Audit Committee must be informed
of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee pre-approval of non-audit services (other than review and attest services) also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by
the SEC.



The Audit Committee has determined the rendering of
the tax and other non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is compatible with maintaining the accountants independence.
