PART I



Item 1.Business



Overview



Versata, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VATA), (Versata or the Company) was incorporated in California on August 27, 1991, and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware on February, 24, 2000. Versata provides a way for companies to define and manage the
logic in their business systems at the business level, rather than at the system code level.



The Company provides solutions for automating and simplifying the building, maintenance and ongoing evolution of large, complex, data-intensive enterprise applications. These applications typically access multiple
data sources, incorporate multiple database tables and user interfaces, execute very complex business transactions and support thousands of users. The Versata solution effectively and efficiently replaces time-intensive hand-coding efforts
associated with Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) with simple, intuitive business rules and graphical process flow specification.



Versatas primary value proposition and sales focus has consistently
been on cheaper and faster application development. While Versata is confident there is a continuing opportunity for its technology in its core market of application development products, it believes that there may be a more strongly differentiated
opportunity for the Company in the emerging area of master data management. Master data management concerns the management of highly valuable shared data that is used in support of business processes and transactions throughout the enterprise.
Examples of master data would include customer data, product data, pricing data, configuration data, and other data types that vary from one industry to the next. Management of such data requires the specification and enforcement of business rules
and business logic that ensure complete, consistent and accurate data across all systems within the enterprise.



Traditional data-management approaches emphasize the creation of information models, but often overlook the business rules that define the management of
this information over time, leaving such responsibility to the various applications that produce and consume the shared data. As a result, many organizations find themselves with an increasingly fragmented information landscape, unable to answer
such simple questions as what accounts does this customer hold with us across all of our operating divisions?. Such segregated master data management problems must be addressed for businesses to quickly comply with important new
regulatory initiatives such as the USA PATRIOT Acts Anti-Money Laundering initiative or the HIPPA Healthcare patient records initiative.



Based on existing customer experience, Versata believes that development of enterprise master data management systems will likely follow the same
development process as that used for traditional application development: business analysts define the business rules required to properly operate on and maintain the shared master data; these rules are then used by the programmers to draw models,
sketch out pseudo-code, and write programs that are intended to meet the original specifications; these programs are then integrated with the rest of the companys infrastructure resources and deployed to a production environment. With Versata,
the programming step is eliminated: the business analyst specifies the business logic, and that business logic is directly executed by the Versata runtime product, the Versata Logic Server. This simplification enables companies to react faster to
business demands by developing data management solutions more efficiently with an enhanced ability to change these solutions as the business needs change.



This new opportunity area will leverage the success that many of Versatas customers have had, using existing Versata products to provide
easily-configurable, rules-based applications that can be continuously adapted to meet changing business conditions and regulatory pressures. Versatas objective is to establish the Versata Logic Suite, the Companys family of business
logic products, as an adaptable master data management platform. The Company intends to do this by extending its technology leadership, continuing to grow its multi-channel distribution network, and leveraging its technology alliances.

Versata markets its products primarily through a direct sales force in North America and in Europe. The
Company also works with a network of consulting and systems integration partners, companies selling pre-packaged software applications, and companies selling software applications over the Internet on a subscription service basis.



Versata also offers comprehensive professional services from training,
mentoring, ROI analysis, staff augmentation and project management to complete turnkey solution services, as well as customer support.



Strategy



Versata currently offers a platform that raises the level of abstraction for application development. Over the years, the Companys many successful
customers have repeatedly proven the value of the Versata technology in allowing them to build larger, more complex and better performing applications than they could otherwise have achieved. Quite simply, some of Versatas customers, such as
American Management Systems (AMS), could never have delivered comparable solutions in anywhere near the same timeframe without Versata.



This value of rapid development has been Versatas primary message since inception. However, there have always been two key components to the value
proposition that Versatas core business rules technology has delivered:



The first is in the area of application constructionspecifically, cheaper and faster time to deployment for new application development. Union Bank of California is a great example of a customer that has used
the same small team of developers to build more than 25 applications internally, with each application requiring no more than 3 months to develop.



Versatas second value component is in the area of application configuration and maintenancespecifically, the ability to quickly and easily
configure the application at the time of deployment as well as to continuously adapt the application across the enterprise lifecycle. By using Versata as the foundation of the Advantage 3.0 system, AMS has been able to configure this ERP-style
packaged application for each new customer in significantly less time than normally associated with such large systems. Similarly, Meridian Health Care Management has used Versata to address key pains in preparing for the unexpected in the context
of changing industry practices.



Application Development
Value Proposition



Versata believes that there is an
ongoing opportunity for the Company in the application development market, particularly as it looks at introducing new platform capabilities like rules auditing that would allow customers to create auditable applications supporting compliance
requirements without the need to build specific auditing functionality into their applications. However, Versata believes that the bigger opportunity is related to its ability to deliver solutions that are easily configurable and can be continuously
adapted to meet changing business conditions and regulatory pressures, particularly in the area of master data management.



Master Data Management Platform



Versata has a unique opportunity to provide a configurable and adaptable data management foundation. Using business rules and intelligent automation, this
foundation can be configured and continuously adapted to implement proprietary company policies, as well as regulatory and compliance requirements. For example, within IBM there are a variety of customer information systems sharing master customer
data. IBM has layered a master data management platform across these systems to manage and synchronize the information. The platform, built and continuously adapted with the current Versata product range tracks all changes to the customer data,
cross-references to the disparate systems, and maintains an audit history. It affords IBM the ability to meet the rigorous demands of the business and government regulatory compliance requirements.

This data management foundation is what the industry at large, including major players such as SAP, is
starting to call master data management. As already noted, master data management is concerned with the management of highly valuable shared data that is used in support of business processes and transactions throughout the enterprise. These systems
are owned and implemented by IT organizations that provide crucial data services for the day-to-day operating efficiency of the business. Importantly, much of this master data is subject to regulatory oversight and the management of this data open
to auditor scrutiny. Timeliness, accuracy, transparency and adaptability are key dimensions in addressing these requirements.



Versata believes that its rules technology coupled with its existing customer experience gives it a competitive advantage in the area of master data
management. As Versata moves forward, the Company intends to enhance its platform product capabilities in support of this new direction. Such enhanced capabilities may include rules auditing in support of compliance, the introduction of soft
constraints and associated event notification mechanisms in support of data sharing and management, broader XML and Web Services capabilities in support of Service Oriented Architectures and more support for business analysts and compliance
officers to directly configure rules in deployed systems without requiring extensive IT involvement.



Versata Solution



Versata believes it has a significant competitive advantage with respect to the development and deployment of complex, data-intensive applications. Our customers continue to realize the following benefits:



Achieve Better Collaboration Between Business and IT Organizations



Our products allow non-programmer, business-domain
experts to actively participate in and guide the translation of business requirements into differentiated business software applications and processes. Developers can reduce the time it takes to implement application changes and provide application
maintenance, enabling them to elevate their focus to new business demands.



Reduce Operating Costs



Our solution improves operational efficiencies associated with application development and maintenance by enhancing the productivity of a companys IT resources. First, our product reduces the lines of code that need to be
hand-written, debugged, and tested. Second, the applications that are delivered more accurately meet the user requirements, so there are fewer change requests. Third, existing programmers can be easily transitioned from other programming
technologies like Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, or COBOL, so that companies can take advantage of the existing business domain knowledge.



Reduce Project Risks



Our solution reduces project risks by taking out the error-prone translation cycles that occur between the business user, business analyst, and the
programmer. Rather than translating the requirements, step-by-step, the Versata solution enables the direct execution of the business requirements/logic.



Reduce the Risk of Selecting the Wrong Technology



Versata implements and layers its technology on top of industry standards and allows the migration of business logic to new versions of those standards.
This is important because it eliminates the need for application developers to re-write their applications as each edition of the J2EE, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), or other standard changes. Versata enables companies to invest in
designing and managing their business logic without concern for the underlying technology.



Speed Time to Market



Our solutions help companies significantly reduce the time necessary to develop and maintain their applications. In the current rapidly changing economy, early-to-market companies are rewarded with increasing

returns on investment. In addition, we believe companies using our solutions can rapidly reduce their application backlog, enabling IT to keep up with the
constant demand from the business operations.



As Versata
transitions to delivering master data management solutions, the Company expects to provide additional benefits to its customers. While they will continue to enjoy the application development benefits outlined above, new advantages will include the
following:



Business Agility and Continuous Adaptability



Versatas products facilitate rapid response to
business challenges, enabling constant innovation of processes and applications to stay in step with business demands and ahead of competition. When changes are required to the management of master data, the Versata approach would allow the data
stewards to systematically and rapidly implement those changes by modifying business rules. For example, if a new regulatory requirement is introduced that affects the way in which changes to shared customer account information must be analyzed for
potential fraud, the business rules defined in Versata could be quickly and easily changed by data analysts. Additionally, the application user interfaces that support the management of the client master data would be automatically updated to
reflect the new business rules. The traditional alternative is for programmers to investigate the current code, first finding, then changing, thousands of lines of hand implemented programming code. These changes must then be exhaustively tested to
ensure no errors in translation or unexpected impacts on other parts of the system.



Real-Time Business Management



The Versata platform offers a proven transactional data management capability that stands in strong contrast with traditional batch-oriented approaches. As customers apply Versata to the management of their shared master data, this
capability would enable them to increasingly manage their business in real-time. In addition, because the business rules are directly executed as stated, without translation by a human programmer, users would have more
confidence that the master data is accurate and represents a single source of truth at all times. This assurance of accuracy would further reduce errors in operating processes and provide important support for tactical decision making.



Ongoing Support and Proof for Compliance Requirements



In addition to implementing a companys own
proprietary policies as business rules, Versata would also be used to implement government or industry mandated compliance regulations stated as business rules. Because these requirements could be entered and managed declaratively as business rules
in business domain terms, they could also be directly inspected by auditors, managers, and compliance personnel. Versatas implementation of these compliance rules would generate audit trails of rule execution that could provide traceability
from regulatory requirement to execution proof. Traditional programming approaches would require auditing capabilities to be manually coded by the programmer and updated manually with each change to the system, with the linkage to the original
business rules as stated in the requirements being lost in translation.



Products



For organizations building
large-scale, transaction-intensive J2EE applications, Versata provides the Versata Logic Suite. The Versata Logic Suite includes the Versata Logic Studio: a proven high-productivity development environment, and the Versata Logic Server: a deployment
platform architected for performance and scalability. Unlike any other product on the market, Versata simplifies and accelerates the development of complete, full-function J2EE applicationsincluding presentation-level user interfaces, business
logic, persistence models, and workflow processes involving human intervention and/or straight-through processing. In addition, Versatas proven J2EE deployment platform is specifically architected to meet the rigorous reliability, high-load
performance, and scalability demands of todays business-critical systems.

|                                | 
|Versata Logic Server            |  | The Versata Logic Server (VLS) is an application server extension that manages and executes business logic. The VLS has two core engines, the Transaction Logic Engine and the
Process Logic Engine.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|                                | 
|                                |  | The first of the logic engines, the Versata Transaction Logic Engine (TLE), is at the core of the Versata Logic Server and enables business rules execution for transactional
business logic. To advance the use of the J2EE application server, the TLE also includes a J2EE framework to provide the necessary, reusable services such as cross-object navigation, transaction sequencing, event-action synchronization and more.
Developers using the TLE can focus on the business functionality of their applications rather than logic sequencing and infrastructure code.
|                                | 
|                                |  | The second of the logic engines, the Versata Process Logic Engine (PLE), furthers Versatas span of logic automation into the realm of business processes. The Versata PLE is
the runtime component that enacts business processes, routes work to participants, and provides integration points with external enterprise systems.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|                                | 
|                                |  | Using the Versata Logic Server, with one or both of these core logic engines, companies can deliver systems that are designed for change. Whenever business logic needs to be altered to
reflect changing business needs, developers and business analysts make these changes at the business logic levelnot the Java coding layer. Changes are then automatically deployed to the Versata Logic Server, reducing the cycle time for making
changes from months to days and reducing total cost of ownership by 80% or more.                                                     
|                                | 
|Versata Logic Studio            |  | The Versata Logic Studio houses the development designers for both the TLE and PLE, as well as presentation designers for HTML, JSP, and Java client interfaces. With these designers, users
express business rules and processes with high-level, business-centric syntax and graphical representations.

single product offering that integrated our software with IBMs WebSphere®Application Server Advanced Edition on an OEM basis. In September 2000, at our request, we extended our relationship with IBM by
entering into a software re-marketing agreement with IBM to allow them to resell some of our products. In September 2001, we further expanded our relationship with IBM by granting IBM the right to resell these products under the Versata brand name
through IBMs Passport Advantage Program, IBMs volume licensing program. Versata product availability on Passport Advantage eliminates special handling, such as separate contracts with Versata for license maintenance and support. This
arrangement has improved Versatas visibility within IBM and helped increase the volume of software sold through IBM. Our agreement with IBM provides for the current relationship to continue through December 31, 2004. We do not anticipate the
renewal of this agreement with IBM as IBM acquired Rational Corporation last year and Rational offers competing products.



ILOG



ILOG, the worlds leading supplier of C++ and Java software components, and Versata have entered into a strategic alliance agreement in 2001 whereby
the companies participate in joint marketing and sales activities, as well as provide a level of integration between their products. Specifically, Versata has developed a connector between the Versata Logic Server and ILOG JRules. In turn, ILOG is
developing a connector between their ILOG JViews for Workflow product and the Versata Logic Server. This technical collaboration has resulted in a unified platform that supports all types of business logic: transactions, processes, and decisions.
However this unified platform uniquely provides improved business management with full visibility from the declarative specification of the business requirements to monitoring and managing the actual transactions, rules, and processes that a govern
business. In addition, Versata and ILOG have collaborated on a variety of sales and marketing activities, including seminars, sales events, and exchanged sales leads. The ILOG and Versata strategic alliance agreement automatically renews for one
year terms until terminated by either party upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.



MetaMatrix



MetaMatrix,
the model-driven information integration pioneer, and Versata entered into a strategic alliance agreement in 2002 whereby the companies participate in joint sales and marketing activities as well as provide a level of integration between their
products. Customers who use the MetaMatrix integration technology with Versatas declarative business logic solution can rapidly integrate multiple sources of data into the Versata business rules management platform, and can capture the
metadata across these disparate systems to create a consistent, logical data information model. We believe that when customers combine these two technologies they may not only simplify master data management, but also further reduce maintenance
costs. This agile infrastructure will enable companies to adapt quickly to changes in business logic, data sources, technologies and platforms. The MetaMatrix and Versata strategic alliance agreement automatically renews for one year terms until
terminated by either party upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.



Future Alliances



As Versata progresses with
its solution for master data management, new partnerships and alliances will be needed to augment its product capabilities. Versata is in the process of identifying potential new strategic partnerships to complement its own products and
technologies. Prospective partners are likely to come from several different technology sectors, including batch data cleansing; report generation; security systems; and companies delivering vertical solutions in the financial services,
manufacturing and telecommunications industries.



Competition



The application development market is intensely
competitive, subject to technological changes and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Versata expects the competition in this industry to persist and intensify as the market
continues to consolidate. Versatas

primary competition comes from companies developing their software applications internally using traditional programming approaches. The Company also
competes with a number of other sources including:



| |  |  | Vendors of application server development products and services such as IBM, BEA Systems, and Borland Software Corporation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Vendors of Web services development environments such as IBM, and Borland;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Companies that market business application software such as Oracle Corporation, PeopleSoft, and SAP.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Versata has identified the principal competitive factors in our market as:



| |  |  | Product functionality and features customized for developing and maintaining complex, data-intensive applications;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ease of application implementation;

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



| |  |  | Quality of customer support services;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pricing; and
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | Company reputation.
| | - |  | -------------------



Although Versata believes that it currently competes favorably with respect to these factors, the market for application development products is rapidly
maturing and consolidating. Versata may not be able to maintain its competitive position against current and potential competitors with greater financial, sales, marketing, professional services, technical support, training and other resources. The
risks associated with competition are more fully discussed in the Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results section contained below.



In contrast, we believe that the master data management arena is an emerging opportunity area with few competitors. However, industry analysts such as
Meta Group, Tower Group, and Gartner predict that known industry leaders and several smaller software companies will begin to innovate and deliver master data management offerings. Some of the potential competitors in this market segment will likely
include Chordiant, DWL, SAP, Siebel, and Soliton.



Services



An important component of Versatas overall solution is its ability
to provide customers with comprehensive professional servicesfrom training, mentoring, customer support, staff augmentation and project management or rapid requirements development to complete turnkey solution services. Through this
comprehensive suite of services, Versata enables its customers to automate e-business software applications without worrying about internal staffing constraints. Versatas services organization consists of staff consultants and technical
support personnel. The Company can also engage a variety of System Integration partners and independent contractors to augment its service offerings.



Consulting Services

and performance tuning. Versata also provides project management services to assist customers in developing and deploying large enterprise applications with
multiple data sources, multiple database tables, and multiple user interfaces. The Company also offers complete turnkey services whereby Versata professionals and consulting partners can deliver complete customized solutions. These services can be
provided at customers sites as well as via remote electronic connection, offering a balance between personal interaction and speed of responsiveness.



Training Services



Versata offers its customers introductory and advanced training in the use of its products. These training services are offered in several geographic
locations, either as standard public training classes located throughout the U.S. and Europe or on-site private training classes. Versata prices these services per course or on a per day basis.



Customer Support



Versata believes that a high level of customer service and support is
essential to its success. The Company offers a range of customer support services including (i) business hour telephone and e-mail support from its Oakland, Australia, Germany and United Kingdom facilities, (ii) 24-hour-a-day/seven-day-a-week
production system support and (iii) on-site support on request. Versata also provides customers with access to a developer knowledge base, discussion groups and other repositories of information regarding its products. The Companys customers
typically purchase annual customer support contracts at prices dependent upon their desired level of customer service.



Services Partners



In addition to Versatas internal services organization, the Company has relationships with resellers, professional service organizations and global
system integrators that offer consulting, training and customer support services. These service partners include IBM Global Services, Online Business Systems, and Cap Gemini Ernst and Young. Versatas service partners are encouraged to attend
and complete a series of Versata training courses.



Sales and Marketing



Sales



Versata sells its products through a multi-channel distribution model, which
includes both direct and indirect channel sales. As of December 31, 2003, Versatas sales organization consisted of 15 professionals throughout North America and Europe. The Companys sales teams typically include a sales representative
and a solutions architect that are supported by a regional service manager. As of December 31, 2003, Versata had 5 quota-carrying sales teams.



Versata utilizes sales teams consisting of both sales and technical professionals to create organization-specific proposals, presentations and
demonstrations that address the specific needs of each potential customer. The Companys sales model can include a proof of concept and/or an ROI approach to winning competitive sales opportunities. In many of these competitive situations, the
tangible results of Versatas proof of concept and/or ROI analyses substantiate the time-to-market advantages, ability to support business flexibility and ease of use characteristics of the Versata solution.



Versata complements its direct sales force with channel sales through various
types of relationships that either sell, or help sell, products and services. These relationships include:



| |  |  | IBM.    As previously noted, IBM has the right to resell some of our products under the Versata brand name through IBMs Passport Advantage Program,
IBMs volume licensing program. Versata product availability on Passport Advantage eliminates special handling, such as separate contracts with Versata for license maintenance and support.

Versata supports its sales efforts through a variety of marketing
initiatives implemented through both our corporate headquarters and our regional offices. The Companys marketing organization, which consisted of 5 employees as of December 31, 2003, focuses on creating market awareness for Versatas
solutions; generating sales leads; forming relationships with leading technology companies; promoting leadership in the areas of application development and master data management; and educating industry analysts about our solutions. Versata
conducts a variety of marketing initiatives worldwide to educate its target market. The Company has engaged in marketing activities such as business seminars, trade shows, press relations, industry analyst programs, ongoing public relations,
advisory councils, direct mailings and telemarketing, managing and maintaining its corporate Website, and producing and distributing sales support materials. Versatas marketing organization also serves an integral role in acquiring, organizing
and prioritizing customer and industry feedback in order to help provide product direction to its development organizations. Versata formalized this customer-driven approach by establishing advisory council meetings to provide forums for discussing
customer needs and requirements. Advisory council meetings provide a useful forum in which to share information, test product concepts and collect data on customer and industry needs. Versata intends to continue to pursue these programs in the
future.



Product Development



Design & Engineering



Most of the Versatas software products are developed internally. The
Company also licenses software technology from third parties. Internal development enables Versata to maintain closer technical control over the products and gives it the freedom to designate which modifications and enhancements are most important
and when they should be implemented. Product documentation is also created internally. Versata believes that a crucial factor in the success of a new product is getting it to market quickly without compromising product quality. Before releasing new
software, the product undergoes extensive quality assurance and testing.



Product Ports and Quality Assurance



In November of 2003, Versata established a relationship with Virtusa Corporation, a US-based premier software engineering services firm, which also has advanced technology centers in India and Sri Lanka. For the next
two years (and possibly beyond), Versata has retained Virtusa to provide Versata with engineering services including platform port development, quality assurance, and maintenance. Versata will retain responsibility for product vision, strategy,
architecture, design and reference implementation, enabling it to more aggressively drive product innovation and rapidly deliver the next round of capabilities in support of our new strategy.

Intellectual Property and Licensing



Intellectual Property



We rely on a combination of intellectual property rights to establish and protect our intellectual property. These legal protections afford only limited
protection for our technology, and we cannot provide any assurance that other companies will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. If we fail to protect our proprietary technology, our business could be seriously
harmed.



While various proprietary intellectual property rights
are important to our success, we believe that our business as a whole is not materially dependent on obtaining any particular patent. We currently have a U.S. patent relating to our automated development tool that uses a drag-and-drop metaphor. This
patent is scheduled to expire on April 9, 2016. It is possible that other companies could successfully challenge the validity or scope of our patent and that our patent may not provide a competitive advantage to us. We enforce our copyright,
trademark, service mark and trade name rights. Furthermore, as part of our proprietary protection procedures, we enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, customers, distributors and business partners and into license
agreements with respect to our software, documentation and other proprietary information. We further seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by restricting access to our source code. Despite these precautions, third parties could copy
or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, or develop similar technology independently. In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the U.S.



Currently, we are not aware of any pending claims that our
products, trademarks or other proprietary rights infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties. While we rely on patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our technology, we believe that factors
such as the creativity and technological skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements and reliable customer service and product maintenance are more essential to establishing and maintaining a technology
leadership position. See the Risk Factors section under Item 1 for a discussion of the risks associated with proprietary rights.



Third Party Licensing



We integrate third-party software into our products. While we believe that alternative sources of such third-party software is available and based upon
past experience and standard industry practice such licenses generally could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, any significant interruption in the supply of such products could adversely impact our sales of our products unless and until
we could secure another supplier.



International Operations



We have established international subsidiaries including entities located
in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.



Employees



As of December 31, 2003, we had 79 active employees and
24 contractors. Of these individuals, 20 employees and contractors were in sales and marketing, 39 employees and contractors were in product development, 16 employees were in professional services, 9 employees were in customer support, and 19
employees and contractors were in finance and administration. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit, and we believe our relations with employees are satisfactory.



Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results



We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks
and uncertainties. The following section lists some, but not all, of these risks and uncertainties, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Investors should carefully consider the
following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our common stock.



14

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

We have limited working capital and may experience difficulty in obtaining needed funding, which may limit our ability
to effectively pursue our business strategies.



As of October 31, 2003, we had $13.8 million in cash and short-term investments, and working capital of approximately $7.8 million. To date, we have not achieved profitability or positive cash flow on a sustained basis. Although we believe
that our current cash, cash equivalents, and any net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months, it is possible that events may
occur that could render our current working capital reserves insufficient. Because our revenue is unpredictable and a significant portion of our expenses are fixed, a reduction in projected revenue or unanticipated requirements for cash outlays
could deplete our limited financial resources, potentially to a serious degree. We may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing in fiscal 2004 or beyond. If we require additional external funding, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain it on a timely basis if at all, or, if available, on terms acceptable to us. Moreover, additional financing will cause dilution to existing stockholders. If we cannot secure adequate financing sources on a timely
basis, then we would be required, at a minimum, to reduce our operating expenses, which would restrict our ability to pursue our business objectives and could adversely impact our ability to maintain our revenue levels.



Our Quarterly Revenues and Operating Results May Fluctuate in Future Periods.



Our operating results have varied and may continue to
vary substantially from period to period. The timing and amount of our license fees are subject to a number of factors that make estimating revenues and operating results prior to the end of a quarter uncertain. While we receive certain recurring
revenues on royalty-based license agreements and also from deferred maintenance and support fees, a significant amount of license fees in any quarter is dependent on the execution of new license sales in a particular quarter. Our professional
services revenue in any quarter is substantially dependent on our license revenue. Services are normally purchased in conjunction with software, although it is not a requirement. Should our license revenues decrease, there will be a reduced market
for our services. Any revenue shortfall in services could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on our results of operations. Operating expenses for any year are normally based on the attainment of planned revenue levels for that year and
are generally incurred ratably throughout the year. As a result, if revenues were less than planned in any period while expense levels remain relatively fixed; our operating results would be adversely affected for that period. In addition, unplanned
expenses such as; increase in salaries, third party software rates, restructuring assumptions, and cost of software development, could adversely affect operating results for the period in which such expenses were incurred.



We Have Incurred Operating Losses Since Our Inception and are Likely to Incur Net Losses
and Negative Cash Flows for the Foreseeable Future.



We
have experienced operating losses in each quarterly and annual period since inception, and we expect to incur losses in the future. If our revenue grows less than we anticipate or if our operating expenses increase more than expected or are not
reduced in the event of lower revenue, we may never achieve profitability. In addition, we have entered into various sublease agreements. If income from these subleases is not received in accordance with the underlying contractual obligations this
will have an adverse impact on our financial operations. If we fail to collect amounts due from subleases under contractual arrangements or one of our sublessees does not renew their sublease for periods anticipated in our assumptions, this will
have an adverse effect on our operating results and projected cash flow. As of October 31, 2003, we had an accumulated deficit of $206.1 million. Although we have an objective of achieving profitability as soon as practical, we cannot assure you
that we will be successful. In order to achieve and maintain profitability, we will need to increase revenues while decreasing expenses.



Weakening of World Wide Economic Conditions Realized in the Internet Infrastructure Software Market May Result in Decreased Revenues or Lower Revenue Growth Rates.



The revenue growth of our business depends on the overall
demand for computer software, particularly in the product segments in which we compete. Any further slowdown of the worldwide economy affects the buying



15

decision of corporate customers, such as it has in the recent years. Because our sales are primarily to Global 2000 customers, our business also depends on
general economic and business conditions. A reduction in demand for computer software, caused by a weakening of the economy, such as occurred in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, or otherwise, may result in continued decreased revenues or lower revenue
growth rates.



Entering Into New or Developing Markets May Also Result in
Decreased Revenues or Lower Revenue Growth Rates



As we
focus on the new market opportunity in master data management, we may be competing with large, established suppliers and/or systems integrators as well as start-up companies. Some of our current and potential competitors may have greater resources,
including technical and engineering resources, than we do. Since the master data management market is relatively new, we believe that success in developing and selling master data management products will require us to devote appropriate efforts to
develop the strong sales, marketing and development skills required to address new target markets. These efforts may increase our operating costs and, if we fail to timely generate revenue from the master data management business, our working
capital and operating results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that our efforts to pursue the master data management business will be successful or will not adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations,
particularly in the near term.



If We Do Not Effectively Compete With New
and Existing Competitors, Our Revenues and Operating Margins Will Decline.



The Internet infrastructure software market in general, and the market for our software and related services in particular, are new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive. We expect the competition in this industry
to persist and intensify as the market continues to consolidate. Many of our competitors, including but not limited to IBM, BEA Systems, Inc., Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems have longer operating histories and significantly greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer requirements. Many of our competitors, such as the ones mentioned
herein; also have more extensive customer bases, broader customer relationships and broader industry alliances that they could leverage, thereby establishing relationships with many of our current and potential customers. These companies also have
significantly more established customer support and professional service organizations. In addition, these companies may adopt aggressive pricing policies or offer more attractive terms to customers, may bundle their competitive products with
broader product offerings or may introduce new products and enhancements. Furthermore, current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their products. As a result, it is
possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. If we fail to compete successfully with our competitors, the demand for our products would decrease. Any reduction in demand could
lead to loss of market share, a decrease in the price of our products, fewer customer orders, reduced revenues, reduced margins, and increased operating losses. These competitive pressures could seriously harm our business and operating results.



If We Do Not Develop and Enhance New and Existing Products to Keep Pace
With Technological, Market and Industry Changes, Our Revenues May Decline.



The markets for our products are characterized by rapid technological advances in software development, evolving standards in software technology and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. Product
introductions and short product life cycles necessitate high levels of expenditures for research and development. To maintain our competitive position, we must:



| |  |  | Enhance and improve existing products and continue to introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments, such as the new master data management products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Achieve market acceptance.
| | - |  | --------------------------



16

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

The success of new products is dependent on several factors including proper new product definition,
product cost, timely completion and introduction of new products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify new product
opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, and achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
Our inability to run on new or increasingly popular operating systems, and/or our failure to successfully enhance and improve our products in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.



New Versions and Releases of Our Products May
Contain Errors or Defects and Result in Loss of Revenue.



The software products we offer are complex and, despite extensive testing and quality control, may have had, and in the future could have errors or defects, especially when we first introduce them. Typically we need to issue corrective
releases of our software products to fix any defects or errors. Defects or errors could also cause damage to our reputation, loss of revenues, product returns or order cancellations, lack of market acceptance of our products, and expose us to
litigation. Accordingly, defects or errors particularly if they are more numerous than expected could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



Our Failure to Accurately Forecast Sales May Lead to a Disappointment of Market
Expectations.



Our Company uses a pipeline
system, a common industry practice, to forecast sales and trends in our business. Our sales personnel monitor the status of all proposals, such as the date when they estimate that a customer will make a purchase decision and the potential dollar
amount of the sale. We aggregate these estimates periodically in order to generate a sales pipeline. We compare the pipeline at various points in time to look for trends in our business. While this pipeline analysis may provide us with some guidance
in business planning and budgeting, these pipeline estimates are necessarily speculative and may not consistently correlate to revenues in a particular quarter or over a longer period of time. A variation in the conversion of the pipeline into
contracts or in the pipeline itself such as occurred in the past could cause our Company to improperly plan or budget and thereby adversely affect our business or results of operations. In particular, the current slowdown in the economy is causing
purchasing decisions to be delayed, reduced in amount or cancelled which will therefore reduce the overall license pipeline conversion rates in a particular period of time.



The Price of Our Common Stock is Volatile, and It May Fluctuate Significantly.



The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly and has
declined sharply since our initial public offering in March 2000. Our Companys stock price is affected by a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:



| |  |  | Quarterly variations in results, announcements that our revenue or income are below analysts expectations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The competitive landscape;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Technological innovations by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by analysts;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales of large blocks of our common stock, sales or the intention to sell stock by our executives and directors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | General economic and market conditions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additions or departures of key personnel;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

| |  |  | Estimates and projections by the investment community; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuations in our stock trading volume, which is particularly common among highly volatile securities of software companies.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As a result, our stock price is subject to significant volatility. In the
past, following periods of volatility or decline in the market price of a companys securities, securities class action litigation has at times been instituted against that company. This could cause us to incur substantial costs and experience
a diversion of managements attention and resources.



Any Potential
Delisting of Versatas Common Stock from the NASDAQ National Market Could Harm Our Business.



Versatas common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market, which has certain compliance requirements for continued listing of common stock,
including the requirement that our common stock have a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and that we maintain a market value of publicly held shares of at least $5 million.



In the past, our Companys common stock has not consistently maintained a minimum bid price of $1.00 and our market
value of publicly held shares has periodically dropped below the $5 million requirement for numerous trading days.



If we are unable to maintain our compliance with the NASDAQ National Market listing requirements, and any appeal we file as a result of a notice of
noncompliance receives an unfavorable determination by NASD our common stock would be removed from listing on the NASDAQ National Market that could have a material adverse effect on us and on the price of our common stock.



We May Have to Delay Recognizing License or Service Related Revenue for a Significant
Period, Which Could Negatively Impact Our Results of Operations.



Although we typically enter into standard license agreements and time-and-materials services agreements, we may occasionally have to delay recognizing license or service revenue for a significant period of time for a variety of types of
transactions, including:



| |  |  | Transactions which require specified future deliverables not covered by maintenance and support arrangements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transactions that involved significant production, modification or customization;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transactions that contain customer acceptance clauses, cancellation/exchange rights, or refund rights;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transactions that involve certain customer financing arrangements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transactions that involve extended payment terms or payments based on milestones;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transactions that do not support current established pricing of training, professional services, maintenance and support, or other typical undelivered elements in an arrangement;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These factors and other specific accounting
requirements for software revenue recognition, require that we have very precise terms in our license agreements to allow us to recognize revenue when we initially deliver software or perform services. Although we have a standard form of license
agreement that meets the criteria for current revenue recognition on delivered elements, we negotiate and revise these terms and conditions in some transactions. Sometimes we are unable to negotiate terms and conditions that permit revenue
recognition at the time of delivery or even as work on the project is completed.

If Accounting Interpretations Relating to Revenue Recognition Change, Our Reported Revenues Could Decline, or We Could
be Forced to Make Changes in Our Business Practices.



Over
the past several years, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), and Statement of Position No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions (SOP 98-9). In addition, in December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements (SAB 104), which explains how the SEC staff believes existing revenue recognition rules should be applied to or interpreted for transactions not specifically addressed by existing rules. These standards address software
revenue recognition matters primarily from a conceptual level and do not include specific implementation guidance. We believe that our revenue has been recognized in compliance with SOP 97-2, SOP 98-9 and SAB 104. However, the accounting profession
and regulatory agencies continue to discuss various provisions of these pronouncements with the objective of providing additional guidance on their application. These discussions and the issuance of new interpretations, once finalized, could lead to
unanticipated reductions in recognized revenue. They could also drive significant adjustments to our business practices, which could result in increased administrative costs, lengthened sales cycles and other changes which could adversely affect our
results of operations.



If the Versata Products and Related Services Do Not
Achieve Widespread Market Acceptance, the Source of Substantially All of Our Revenue Will be At Risk.



We cannot predict the level of market acceptance that will be achieved or maintained by our products and services. If either the Internet infrastructure
software market in general, or the market for our software or related services in particular, fails to grow or grows more slowly than we anticipate, or if either market fails to accept our products and related services, the source of substantially
all of our revenue will be at risk. We expect to continue to derive substantially all our revenue from and be dependent upon the Versata products and related services in the future. The market for the Versata products and related services is new,
rapidly evolving and highly competitive, and we cannot be certain that a viable market for our products will ever develop or be sustained. Our future financial performance will depend in large part on the successful development, introduction and
customer acceptance of our new products, product enhancements and related services in a timely and cost effective manner. We expect to continue to commit significant resources to market and further develop our products and related services and to
enhance the brand awareness of our software and services.



If Java
Technology Does Not Continue to be Widely Adopted for E-business Application Development, Our Business Will Suffer.



Our products are based on Java technology, an object-oriented software programming language and distributed computing platform developed by Sun
Microsystems. Java is a relatively new language and was developed primarily for the Internet and corporate intranet applications. It is still too early to determine whether Java will achieve greater acceptance as a programming language and platform
for enterprise applications. Alternatives to Java include Microsofts C# language and .net computing platform. Should Java not continue to be widely adopted, or is adopted more slowly than anticipated, our business will suffer. Alternatively,
if Sun Microsystems makes significant changes to the Java language or its proprietary technology, or fails to correct defects and limitations in these products, our ability to continue improving and shipping our products could be impaired. In the
future, our customers also may require the ability to deploy our products on platforms for which technically acceptable Java implementations either do not exist or are not available on commercially reasonable terms.



We Depend on Increased Business from Our Current and New Customers and if We Fail to
Generate Repeat and Expanded Business or Grow Our Customer Base, Our Products and Services Revenue Will Likely Decline.



In order to be successful, we need to broaden our business by selling product licenses and services to current and new customers. Many of our customers
initially make a limited purchase of our products and services for



19

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

pilot programs. These customers may not choose to purchase additional licenses to expand their use of our products. These and other potential customers also
may not yet have developed or deployed initial software applications based on our products. If these customers do not successfully develop and deploy these initial software applications, they may choose not to purchase deployment licenses or
additional development licenses. In addition, as we introduce new versions of our products or new products, our current customers may not require the functionality of our new products and may not license these products.



If we fail to add new customers who license our products, our services
revenue will also likely decline. Our service revenue is derived from fees for professional services and customer support related to our products. The total amount of services and support fees we receive in any period depends in large part on the
size and number of software licenses that we have previously sold as well as our customers electing to renew their customer support agreements. In the event of a further downturn in our software license revenue such as it occurred during fiscal
2003, 2002 and fiscal 2001, or a decline in the percentage of customers who renew their annual support agreements, our services revenue could become flat or further decline.



Our Failure to Maintain Ongoing Sales Through Distribution Channels Will Result in Lower Revenues.



To date, we have sold our products principally through our direct sales
force, as well as through indirect sales channels, such as Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), systems integrators and independent consultants, application service providers (ASPs) and resellers, particularly IBM. Our
agreement with IBM provides for our current relationship to continue through December 31, 2004. We do not anticipate the renewal of this agreement with IBM as IBM acquired Rational Corporation last year and Rational offers competing products. Our
ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in part on our success in making our direct sales force more efficient and in further establishing and expanding relationships with distributors, ASPs, ISVs, Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and systems integrators. We intend to seek distribution arrangements with additional ISVs to embed our solutions in their products. It is possible that we will not be able to increase the efficiency of our direct
sales force or other distribution channels, or secure license agreements with additional ISVs on commercially reasonable terms. Moreover, even if we succeed in these endeavors, it still may not increase our revenues. If we invest resources in these
types of expansion and our revenues do not correspondingly increase, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.



We rely on informal relationships with a number of consulting and systems integration firms to enhance our sales, support,
service and marketing efforts, particularly with respect to implementation and support of our products as well as lead generation and assistance in the sales process. We will need to expand our relationships with third parties in order to support
license revenue growth. Many such firms have similar, and often more established, relationships with our principal competitors. It is possible that these and other third parties will not provide the level and quality of service required to meet the
needs of our customers, that we will not be able to maintain an effective, long term relationship with these third parties, and that these third parties will not successfully meet the needs of our customers.



Our Business is Subject to Risks from International Operations.



We conduct business internationally. Accordingly, a portion of our revenues
is derived from international sales and is therefore subject to the related risks including the general economic conditions in each country, the overlap of different tax structures, the difficulty of managing an organization spread over various
countries, changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, longer payment cycles and volatilities of exchange rates in certain countries. There can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully
address each of these challenges. Other risks associated with international operations include import and export licensing requirements, trade restrictions and changes in tariff rates.



A portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in the value of major foreign
currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar may adversely affect revenues and operating results.

If We Infringe the Patents or Proprietary Rights of Others Our Business, Financial Condition and Operating Results
Would Be Harmed.



We do not believe our products infringe
the proprietary rights of third parties, but third parties may nevertheless assert infringement claims against us in the future. Regardless of whether these claims have merit, they can be time consuming and expensive to defend or settle, and can
harm our business and reputation. Furthermore, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation, whether resolved in our favor or
not, could be time-consuming to defend, result in increased costs, divert managements attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into unfavorable royalty or licensing agreements.



We May Incur Substantial Expenses If We are Sued for Product Liability.



Our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions
designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in our license agreements may not be effective as a result of existing or future federal, state or
local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to date, sale and support of our products entails the risk of such claims, which could be substantial in light of
customers use of such products in mission-critical applications. If a claimant brings a product liability claim against us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our products
interoperate with many parts of complicated computer systems, such as mainframes, servers, personal computers, application software, databases, operating systems and data transformation software. Failure of any one of these parts could cause all or
large parts of computer systems to fail. In such circumstances, it may be difficult to determine which part failed, and it is likely that customers will bring a lawsuit against several suppliers. Even if our software was not at fault, we could
suffer material expense and material diversion of management time in defending any such lawsuits.



If We Lose Key Employees or Cannot Hire Key Qualified Employees, It May Adversely Affect Our Ability to Manage Our Business, Develop Our Products and Increase Our Revenues.



We believe our continued growth and success depends to a large extent on the
continued service of our senior management and other key employees and the hiring of key qualified employees. In the software industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for highly skilled business, product development, technical and
other personnel. We may experience increased compensation costs that are not offset by either improved productivity or higher prices. We may not be successful in recruiting new personnel and in retaining and motivating existing personnel. Members of
our senior management team have left Versata over the years for a variety of reasons and we cannot assure you that there will not be additional departures. Any changes in management can be disruptive to our operations. In general, we do not have
long-term employment or non-competition agreements with our employees. Part of our total compensation program includes stock options. The volatility or lack of positive performance of our stock price may from time to time adversely affect our
ability to retain or attract key employees.



If We Are Unable To Reach an
Agreement With Our Landlord on our Headquarters Lease Renegotiations, and Fail to Cure Any Defaults Under the Lease, Any Legal Action Taken Against Us By the Landlord Could Harm Our Financial Condition and Operating Results.



Versata is seeking to renegotiate its headquarters lease in Oakland,
California with its landlord. As of the filing date of this annual report, we have not made our January lease payment and the landlord has not given us any default notices. If we are unable to reach an agreement, the landlord could serve us with a
default notice. Following receipt of any default notice, and if we fail to cure within applicable notice and cure periods, the landlord could elect to draw down on our letter of credit security deposit, terminate the lease, evict us and sue us for
damages. Such actions taken against us by the Landlord could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Item 2.Properties



Our principal executive and administrative offices are located in approximately 74,000 square feet of office space in Oakland, California, and we have subleased approximately 37,000 square feet of this space,
approximately 24,000 of which is subleased for the remaining term of our lease. Our lease expires in August 2008. Our monthly net lease payments on the Oakland facility are approximately $200,000, which includes approximately $104,000 for currently
excess space we are actively seeking to sublease. We also maintain leased offices or executive suites in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Neuss, London, Melbourne, and Paris. Versata is seeking to renegotiate its headquarters lease in Oakland,
California with its landlord. As of the filing date of this annual report, we have not made our January lease payment and the landlord has not given us any default notices. If we are unable to reach an agreement, the landlord could serve us with a
default notice. Following receipt of any default notice, and if we fail to cure within applicable notice and cure periods, the landlord could elect to draw down on our letter of credit security deposit, terminate the lease, evict us and sue us for
damages.



Item 3.Legal Proceedings



Securities Class Action and State Derivative Actions



On February 14, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California issued Orders of Final Approval of the Settlements of the
consolidated securities class action and the consolidated derivative action that were all initially filed in 2001. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Versatas directors and officers insurers paid $9.75 million, Versata issued 200,000
shares of common stock and implemented certain corporate therapeutics. The shares of common stock have a $3.50 per share put option exercisable for 20 trading days commencing one year after distribution; however, the put shall expire should our
stock trade above $3.50 per share for 15 trading days during the one year period following distribution. Distribution is scheduled to occur in January 2004. As of October 31, 2003 and 2002, we had accrued $700,000 for this liability in accrued
restructuring and other in the accompanying financial statements.



Litigation and Other Claims



From time to
time, we become subject to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the
outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

PART II



Item 5.Market for Registrants Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters



(a)  Price Range of Common Stock



Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol VATA. Public trading of our common stock commenced on March 3, 2000.
Prior to that date, there was no public market for our common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sale price per share of our common stock on the NASDAQ National Market. We implemented a one-for-six
reverse stock split on May 24, 2002. All prices below have been adjusted for the reverse split.



|                             |  |      |      |     |   |     
|---------------------------- |  | ---- | ---- | --- | - | ----
|                             |  | High |      | Low
|Year Ended October 31, 2003: |  |      |      |     |   |     
|First Quarter                |  | $    | 1.25 |     | $ | 0.81
|Second Quarter               |  |      | 1.30 |     |   | 0.65
|Third Quarter                |  |      | 2.34 |     |   | 1.15
|Fourth Quarter               |  |      | 2.87 |     |   | 1.80
|                             |  |     
|                             |  | High |      | Low
|Year Ended October 31, 2002: |  |      |      |     |   |     
|First Quarter                |  | $    | 6.48 |     | $ | 1.80
|Second Quarter               |  |      | 5.46 |     |   | 2.10
|Third Quarter                |  |      | 2.52 |     |   | 0.55
|Fourth Quarter               |  |      | 1.78 |     |   | 0.95



We believe that a
number of factors may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate. See Item 1. BusinessRisk Factors That May Affect Future Results. As of January 9, 2004, there were 415 holders of record of our common stock.



We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our
common stock or other securities and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations of our business.



(b)  Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities



On March 2, 2000 the Securities and Exchange Commission
declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-92451) relating to our initial public offering of our common stock. The 737,917 shares offered by us under the Registration Statement were sold at a price of $144.00 per share.
The aggregate proceeds to the Company from the offering were $97.1 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions of $7.4 million and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of approximately $1.7 million. The Company
closed its initial public offering on March 8, 2000.



Versata
invested the net proceeds from its initial public offering in interest-bearing investment-grade instruments. The net proceeds generated from the offering have been used primarily to fund the Companys working capital, capital expenditures and
general corporate needs. In addition, the Company paid approximately $1.2 million in connection with the acquisition of Verve, Inc.

logic is an umbrella term referring to the aggregated set of business rules and business processes that govern and define a business operations. Business logic is a critical part of todays new generation of enterprise applications, which
are increasingly built in the Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) programming language.



From our incorporation in August 1991 through December 1994, we were a professional services company and generated revenue from technical consulting projects. In January 1995, we commenced development efforts on our
initial software products, which we generated revenue from in late 1995 through early 1998. In September 1996, we began development of our first Web-based software product, which we began shipping commercially in September 1997. In September 1998,
we introduced the first generation of what is now our suite of software products. To date, we have licensed our products and provided services to over 500 customers around the world.



In November 2003, Versata streamlined its operations to improve cash flow and increase the companys overall
performance. A key component of the initiative included a services agreement with Virtusa Corporation, a US-based premier software engineering services firm, which also has advanced technology centers in India and Sri Lanka. For the next two years,
Versata has retained Virtusa to provide Versata with engineering services including platform port development, quality assurance, and maintenance. Versata will retain responsibility for product vision, strategy, architecture, design and reference
implementation, enabling it to more aggressively drive product innovation and rapidly deliver the next round of capabilities in support of its new strategy.



On December 31, 2001, Versata announced a change in its fiscal year end from December 31 to October 31. The change was effective for the ten-month period
ended October 31, 2001.



We derive our revenue from the sale of
software product licenses and from related services. Our software is generally priced on a per central processing unit (CPU) basis. Sales of software licenses typically include revenue associated with product maintenance which provides
the customer with unspecified software upgrades over a specified term, typically one year. Maintenance and support revenue consists of fees relating to the provision of customer support as well as product updates and upgrades. Professional services
revenue includes consulting, training, mentoring, staff augmentation and project management or rapid requirements development to complete turnkey solution services. Customers typically purchase professional services from us for specialized training
and mentoring activities directed at optimizing the customers use of our software product. Professional services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis. Maintenance and customer support is priced based on the particular level of
support chosen by the customer and the number of CPUs in operation.



We market our products and services through our direct sales force, international distributors, consulting and system integration partners, companies that sell pre-packaged software applications and companies that
custom develop and integrate software applications.



Our
revenues to date have been derived predominantly from customers in North America. Net revenues from international sales represented 27%, 23%, and 30%, of our total revenue for the years ended October 31, 2003, and 2002, and the ten months ended
October 31, 2001.



Our cost of software license revenue
consists of royalty payments to third parties for technology incorporated into our products, the cost of manuals and product documentation, as well as electronic delivery costs. Our cost of maintenance and support revenue consists of salaries, other
employee related costs and general office costs incurred in providing customer maintenance and support. Our cost of professional services revenue consists of salaries and other employee related costs, travel, and payments to third party consultants
incurred in providing training, and consulting services. Cost of professional services revenue as a percentage of professional

services revenue is likely to vary significantly from period to period depending on overall utilization rates, the mix of services we provide and whether
these services are provided by us or by third-party contractors.



Since our inception, we have incurred substantial costs to develop our technology and products, to recruit and train personnel for our product development, sales and marketing and professional services departments, and to establish our
administrative infrastructure. To date, all software development costs have been expensed in the period incurred as such costs have not met the criteria for capitalization under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed (SFAS 86). Historically, our operating expenses have exceeded the revenue generated by our products and services. As a result, we have incurred net losses in
each quarter since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $206.1 million as of October 31, 2003 and $195.3 million as of October 31, 2002.



For the year ended October 31, 2003 certain adjustments, not materially affecting the net loss, working capital or earnings per share calculations, were
made to the consolidated financial statements after the press release was issued and before the conclusion of our financial statement audit.



Critical Accounting Policies



The 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 of America. 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



We believe the following are critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:



Revenue Recognition



We derive revenue from three sources as follows: (i) sale of software
licenses to end users, value added resellers (VARs), distributors, system integrators and independent software vendors (ISVs); (ii) maintenance and support which consist of post-contract customer support
(PCS); and (iii) professional services which include consulting and training. We recognize revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended. Under SOP 97-2, we record revenue from licensing of software products to end-users and system integrators, who use our software to build systems for their customers, when both parties sign
a license agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of the product has occurred. For VARs and distributors, we recognize revenue upon notification of sell-through, provided all other revenue
recognition criteria are met. For sales to certain ISVs, where we receive non-refundable royalty payments, we defer the fair value of PCS related to the arrangement and recognize the remainder as license revenue, when paid, provided all other
revenue recognition criteria are met. Generally, we provide payment terms that range from thirty to ninety days from the invoice date. Accordingly, payment terms that exceed ninety days are not considered fixed or determinable and revenue is
recognized as payments become due. When contracts contain multiple elements, and for which vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for the undelivered elements, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements based
upon the residual method. VSOE is generally the price for products sold separately or the renewal rate in the agreement for PCS. Undelivered elements consist primarily of PCS and other services such as consulting, mentoring and training. Services
are generally not considered essential to the functionality of the software. We recognize revenue allocated to PCS ratably over the period of the contracts, which is generally twelve months. For revenue related to consulting services, we recognize
revenue as the related services are performed. In instances where services are deemed essential to the software, both the software license fee and consulting fees are recognized using the percentage- of-completion method of contract accounting. The
portion of fees related to either products delivered or services

rendered which are not due under our Companys standard payment terms are reflected in deferred revenue and in unbilled receivables.



Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection
with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.



Determining Functional Currencies for the Purpose of Consolidation



We have several foreign subsidiaries, which together
account for approximately 27% of our net revenues for the year ended October 31, 2003, and 5% of our assets and 14% of our total liabilities as of October 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 stockholders equity under the caption cumulative translation adjustment.



If any subsidiarys functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the
translation of that subsidiarys financial statements is included in cumulative translation adjustments. If we dispose of any of our subsidiaries, any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized in 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.



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, the Indian Rupee, and Australian and Canadian dollars. Any future
translation gains or losses could be significantly higher than those noted in each of these periods. 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.



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts



We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes
doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. For those invoices not specifically reviewed, provisions are provided at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable. In determining these
percentages, we analyze our historical collection experience and current economic trends. If the historical data we use to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables,
additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected.



Stock-based Compensation



Our Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or
Award Plans (FIN 28), and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Under APB 25, compensation expense is
based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of our Companys common stock and the exercise price. SFAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar
equity investment. Our Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of



27

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

SFAS 123 and Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force 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 (EITF 96-18).



An alternative method to the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation is the fair value approach prescribed by SFAS 123, as
amended by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure.If the Company followed the fair value approach, the Company would be required to record deferred compensation based on the fair value of the
stock option at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock option is required to be computed using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes option valuation model, at the date of the stock option grant. The deferred compensation
calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option.



Information concerning the impact on our operating results of using the alternative of SFAS 123 is included below in Note 3 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. In the event the Company must adopt the provisions of FAS 123, stock-based compensation charges will increase our operating expense.

Year Ended October 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 2002



Revenue



Total Revenue.    Total revenue consists of software license revenue, maintenance and support,
and professional services revenue. Total revenue decreased by $4.9 million or 24% from $20.2 million in 2002 to $15.3 million in 2003. This decrease was attributable to the continued decline in spending on new information technology (IT)
infrastructure projects, general competitive pressures, and overall market and economic conditions. In addition, during fiscal 2003 management attention was largely focused on sales to existing customers and expense reductions, not on generating
sales to new customers.



Software License
Revenue.    Software license revenue decreased by $800,000 or 12% from $6.6 million in 2002 to $5.8 million in 2003. Domestic operations accounted for 84% of license revenues in 2003 compared to 82% in 2002. As a percentage
of total revenue, license revenues accounted for 39% of total revenues in 2003 compared to 33% in 2002. License sales slowed in fiscal 2003 as management worked on expense management and improving satisfaction within our existing customer base. In
addition, license sales suffered from a general decline in spending on large-scale IT infrastructure projects and general competitive pressures.



Maintenance and Support Revenue.    Maintenance and support revenue consists of revenue associated with providing customer
support and product upgrades and updates. Maintenance and support revenue was $5.8 million for both 2002 and 2003. These revenues are derived from new maintenance and support contracts and the renewal of existing maintenance and support contracts.
Such revenue is recognized ratably over time periods of at least one year and therefore tends to result in more stable revenue amounts from year-to-year. Maintenance and support revenue was essentially the same for both our domestic and
international operations in 2002 and 2003. As a percentage of total revenue, maintenance and support revenue accounted for 38% of total revenues in 2003 and 29% in 2002.



Professional Services Revenue.    Professional services revenue consists of revenue associated
with providing technical consulting and training services. Professional services revenue decreased by $4.2 million or 54% from $7.8 million in 2002 to $3.6 million in 2003. As a percentage of total revenue, professional services revenue accounted
for 24% of total revenues in 2003 and 39% in 2002. This decrease was related to our customers increasing use of in-house project management, our focus on sales to existing customers, and general competitive pressures.



Cost of Revenue



Total Cost of Revenue.    Total cost of revenue consists of cost of software license revenue,
cost of maintenance and support revenue and cost of professional service revenue. Total cost of revenue decreased by $2.7 million or 34% from $7.9 million in 2002 to $5.2 million in 2003. This decrease in cost of revenue primarily reflects the
reduction in cost of professional services revenue in 2003 as compared to 2002.



Cost of Software License Revenue.    Cost of software license revenue consists of royalty payments to third parties for technology incorporated into our product, as well as electronic
distribution costs. Cost of software license revenue remained constant at approximately $200,000 in 2002 and 2003. Third party royalties increased slightly in 2003 offsetting a marginal decrease in costs of packaging and distribution.



Cost of Maintenance and Support Revenue.    Cost
of maintenance and support revenue consists of salaries, other employee related costs and general office costs incurred in providing customer maintenance. Cost of maintenance and support revenue increased by $183,000 or 13% from $1.5 million in 2002
to $1.6 million in 2003. This increase was principally related to increased salaries and other employee related expenses.



Cost of Professional Services Revenue.    Cost of professional services revenue consists of salaries and other employee related
costs, travel, and payments to third party consultants incurred in providing training, and

consulting services. Cost of professional services revenue decreased by $2.9 million or 46% from $6.3 million in 2002 to $3.4 million in 2003. This decrease
was principally related to decreased salaries and other employee related expenses as well as third-party professional consulting fees. The number of employees decreased by 26 from 45 at the beginning of 2002 to 19 at the end of 2003.



Gross Profit



Gross Profit.    Gross profit decreased by $2.2 million or 18% from $12.2 million in 2002 to
$10.0 million in 2003. As a percentage of total revenue gross margin increased to 66% in 2003 from 61% in 2002. This increase was principally related to the expense management initiatives taken to reduce professional service cost of revenue.



Operating Expenses



Operating Expenses.    Operating expenses
decreased by $2.8 million or 12% from $23.7 million in 2002 to $20.9 million in 2003. The majority of expense reductions related to sales and marketing and general and administrative costs, offset by increased restructuring costs. As a percentage of
revenue, operating costs increased to 137% in 2003 compared to 118% in 2002, reflecting the lower revenues in 2003.



Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries, commissions, sales offices, travel and entertainment
expense and marketing programs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $3.1 million or 36% from $8.7 million in 2002 to $5.6 million in 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in personnel and related expenses, marketing
program costs, commissions and travel and entertainment expenses. The number of employees decreased by 24 from 51 at the beginning of 2002 to 27 at the end of 2003.



Product Development.    Product development expenses include costs associated with the
development of new products, enhancements to existing products, quality assurance and technical publication activities. These costs consist primarily of employee salaries and the cost of consulting resources that supplement our product development
teams. Product development expense decreased by $200,000 or 4% from $5.5 million in 2002 to $5.3 million in 2003. Employee costs were similar in both years reflecting the reductions in staff made in the first two quarters for fiscal 2002. The number
of employees decreased by 18 from 52 at the beginning of 2002 to 34 at the end of 2003.



General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist of salaries for executive, finance and administrative personnel, information systems costs and allowance for
doubtful accounts. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million or 26% from $4.6 million in 2002 to $3.4 million in 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in accounting and legal expenses, bad debt provisions,
and reduction in personnel and related expenses. The number of employees decreased by 12 from 28 at the beginning of 2002 to 16 at the end of 2003.



Stock-Based Compensation.    Stock-based compensation expense includes the amortization of earned and unearned employee
stock-based compensation and expenses for stock granted to consultants in exchange for services. Unearned employee stock-based compensation expenses are amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the related options, generally 50
months. Earned employee stock-based compensation is expensed at the time the stock is issued. We incurred a non-cash charge of $856,000 in 2003 as compared to $1.0 million in 2002. The decrease relates primarily to the cancellation of unvested
options for terminated employees, offset by earned stock based compensation expense of $571,000 in 2003. As of October 31, 2003 unamortized stock based compensation totaled $45,000. This expense will be incurred in the year ending October 31, 2004
subject to any unvested option cancellations for future employee terminations.



Amortization of Intangibles.    We incurred non-cash charges of $2.0 million in 2003 and 2002 for the amortization of intangibles. As of October 31, 2003 the unamortized balance of
intangibles totaled $2,000. This balance will be amortized in the year ending October 31, 2004.

Restructuring and Other Expenses.    Restructuring and other expenses consist
primarily of expenses relating to excess office facilities, and reductions in personnel. We incurred restructuring and other expenses of $3.7 million in 2003 and $1.9 million in 2002. This increase related principally to the provision of reserves on
our leased premises in Oakland, California.



Interest
Income.    Interest income is primarily comprised of interest income from our cash balances and investments. We had interest income of $266,000 in 2003, compared to interest income of $483,000 in 2002. This decrease was
principally related to lower cash and investment balances and a general reduction in interest rates.



Interest Expense.    Interest expense is primarily comprised of interest paid on our equipment loan and capital lease
obligations. We had interest expense of $33,000 in 2003, compared to interest expense of $63,000 in 2002.



Year Ended October 31, 2002 Compared to Ten Months Ended October 31, 2001



On December 31, 2001, we announced a change in our fiscal year from December 31 to October 31. The change was effective for the ten-month period ended
October 31, 2001. The comparisons in the comments below are comparing the year ended October 31, 2002 to the ten months ended October 31, 2001.



Revenue



Total Revenue.    Total revenue consists of software license revenue, maintenance and support, and professional services revenue. Total revenue for the year ended October 31, 2002 decreased
by $9.9 million, or 33%, to $20.2 million compared to $30.1 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2001. This decrease was principally attributable to decreased Information Technology (IT) spending and overall economic and market conditions.
As a percentage of total revenue, software license revenue was 33% for the year ended October 31, 2002 and 33% for the ten months ended October 31, 2001, while total services revenue was 67% and 67%, respectively.



Software License Revenue.    Software license
revenue decreased by $3.4 million, or 34%, from $10.1 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $6.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. License revenue from international sales decreased by $3.4 million or approximately 74% to
$1.2 million for the year ended October 31, 2002 compared to $4.6 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2001. The decreases domestically and internationally were primarily attributable to decreased IT spending and overall economic and market
conditions.



Maintenance and Support
Revenue.    Maintenance and support revenue increased by $506,000, or 10%, from $5.3 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $5.8 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. This increase was primarily
attributable to the renewal of maintenance and support contracts in 2002. Revenue in both our international and domestic markets increased in 2002 as compared to 2001.



Professional Services Revenue.    Professional services revenue decreased by $7.0 million, or
47%, from $14.8 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $7.8 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. The level of our new software sales and the ongoing economic and market conditions has impacted our professional services revenue.
Finally, we have increased software sales to our existing customer base, which tends to produce fewer service engagements as the customers staff is usually trained to complete new projects.



Cost of Revenue



Total Cost of Revenue.    Total cost of revenue consists of cost of software license revenue,
cost of maintenance and support revenue and cost of professional service revenue. Total cost of revenue decreased by $10.6 million, or 57%, from $18.5 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $7.9 million in the year ended October 31,
2002. This decrease was mainly attributable to a lower volume of sales for the year ended October 31, 2002 as compared to the ten months ended October 31, 2001.

Cost of Software License Revenue.    Cost of software license revenue consists
of royalty payments to third parties for technology incorporated into our product, the cost of manuals and product documentation, as well as packaging and distribution costs. Cost of software license revenue decreased by $2,000 or 1%, from $206,000
in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $204,000 in the year ended October 31, 2002. These decreases were attributable to lower direct costs associated with lower volume of sales.



Cost of Maintenance and Support Revenue.    Cost of maintenance and support revenue consists of
salaries, other employee related costs and general office costs incurred in providing customer maintenance and support. Cost of maintenance and support revenue decreased by $1.0 million or 41% from $2.5 million in 2001 to $1.5 million in 2002. This
decrease was principally associated with reductions in personnel and other employee related expenses.



Cost of Professional Services Revenue    Cost of professional services revenue consists of salaries and other employee related
costs, travel, and payments to third party consultants incurred in providing training, and consulting services. Cost of professional services revenue decreased by $9.6 million or 61% from $15.9 million in 2001 to $6.3 million in 2002. This decrease
was driven by reductions in personnel and other employee related expenses as well as third-party professional consulting fees



Gross Profit



Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $601,000, or 5%, from $11.6 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to
$12.2 million in the year ended October 31, 2002. As a percentage of total revenue, gross margin increased by 22% from 39% in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to 61% for the year ended October 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit is a result
of our cost cutting efforts implemented to better align our costs with our revenue.



Operating Expenses



Operating
Expenses.    Operating expenses decreased by $52.2 million, or 69%, from $75.9 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $23.7 million in the year ended October 31, 2002. The majority of this decrease was due to
cost-cutting initiatives and reductions in force. During fiscal 2002, the Company eliminated 50 positions in the sales and marketing, product development and general and administrative departments as part of the restructuring effort. As a percentage
of revenue, operating expenses decreased from 252% in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to 118% in the year ended October 31, 2002. Excluding the restructuring and other expenses, operating expenses for year ended October 31, 2002 were $21.8
million, a 61% decrease from $56.2 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001.



Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expense includes salaries, commissions, expenses from our sales offices, travel and entertainment expenses, marketing programs and recruitment
expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $17.8 million, or 67%, from $26.5 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $8.7 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. These decreases were largely attributable to a reduction in
personnel related costs of approximately $7.9 million, a reduction in sales commissions of $1.7 million, and decreased spending of $2.7 million on marketing programs. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased from 88% for the
ten months ended October 31, 2001 to 43% for the year ended October 31, 2002.



Product Development.    Product development expenses include costs associated with the development of new products, enhancements to existing products, quality assurance and technical
publication activities. These costs consist primarily of employee salaries and the cost of consulting resources that supplement our product development teams. Product development expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 37%, from $8.8 million in the
ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $5.5 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in workforce of 9 positions. As a percentage of total revenue, product

development expense decreased from 29% for the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to 27% for the year ended October 31, 2002. To date, all software
development costs have been expensed in the period incurred.



General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist of salaries for executive, finance and administrative personnel, information systems costs and bad debt expense. General and
administrative expenses decreased by $6 million, or 56%, from $10.6 million in the ten months ended October 31, 2001 to $4.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in workforce of 11 positions and
a decrease in bad debt expense of $2.2 million as a result of lower sales volume and continuing focused collection efforts. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased from 35% for the ten months ended October 31,
2001 to 23% for the year ended October 31, 2002.



Stock-Based Compensation.    Stock-based compensation expense includes the amortization of unearned employee stock-based compensation offset by reversals of previously expensed amounts for cancellations of the
related options. Unearned stock-based compensation expense is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the related options, generally 50 months. We incurred a non-cash charge of $1 million for the year ended October 31, 2002 as
compared to $1.7 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2001. The decrease primarily relates to the impact of option cancellations for terminated employees. As of October 31, 2002, additional unvested outstanding options were scheduled to vest
over the next 19 months, which will result in additional compensation expenses of approximately $528,000 in the aggregate in periods subsequent to October 31, 2002. This future expense will be reduced in the event of related option cancellations for
employee terminations in the future.



Amortization of
Intangibles.    We incurred non-cash amortization charges of $2 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. This included straight-line amortization of intangible assets from the acquisitions of Verve, Inc. Intangible
assets, primarily purchased technology attributable to the Verve acquisition, of approximately $2 million, will continue to be charged to operations ratably over the remaining period of benefit, which is approximately one year.



Restructuring and Other Expenses.    We had
restructuring and other expenses of $1.9 million for the year ended October 31, 2002, and $19.7 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2001. Restructuring and other expenses for fiscal 2002 consists of severance of $1.1 million, expenses
relating to office closures of $57,000, and other expenses of $700,000.



Interest Income.    Interest income is primarily comprised of interest income from our cash and investments. We had interest income of $483,000 for the year ended October 31, 2002, compared to interest income of
$1.8 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2001. This decrease was principally due to the gradually reduced cash balance for the year ended October 31, 2002 as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for our investment
portfolio from 2.67% in fiscal 2001 to 2.03% in fiscal 2002.



Interest Expense.    Interest expense is primarily comprised of interest paid on our equipment loan and capital lease obligations. We had interest expense of $63,000 for the year ended October 31, 2002, compared
to interest expense of $64,000 for the ten months ended October 31, 2001.



Provision for Income Taxes.    We have incurred operating losses for all periods from inception through October 31, 2002. We have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our
deferred tax assets, as the future realization of the tax benefits is uncertain.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Since
inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the private sale of our equity securities, and our initial public offering, resulting in the aggregate, net proceeds of approximately $167.2 million. We have also funded our operations
through equipment financing. As of October 31, 2003, we had $13.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, $7.8 million in working capital and no loan balances outstanding.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million, $9.2 million and $40.4 million for the years
ended October 31, 2003 and 2002, and the ten months ended October 31, 2001, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities in each period reflects net losses through fiscal 2003, offset by changes in working capital and non-cash expenses
including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring accruals.



Net cash used in investing activities was $942,000 million for the year ended, October 31, 2003, and $1.2 million for the year ended October 31, 2002. Net cash provided by investing activities was $22.9 million for
the ten months ended October 31, 2001. Cash used in investing activities during the years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002 primarily reflects the purchase of short-term investments offset by the proceeds from the sale of short-term
investments. Cash provided by investing activities during the ten months ended October 31, 2001 primarily reflects the net proceeds from the sale of short-term investments offset by purchases of property and equipment.



Net cash used in financing activities was $102,000 for the year ended October
31, 2003 and primarily reflects principal payments made on capital leases, offset by the proceeds of option and warrant exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities was $749,000 and $445,000 for the year ended October 31, 2002, and the ten
months ended October 31, 2001, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities for the ten months ended October 31, 2001 included $1.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of stock under the employee stock purchase plan, offset by $1.0 million
repurchase of stock from former officers of the Company.



We
believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of October 31, 2003 will be sufficient to meet our general expenses, working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next year. However, we may find it
necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing in fiscal 2004 or beyond. In the event additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all.



Our Company has entered into leases for certain office space and equipment
with original terms ranging from 36 months to the year 2008. The lease for office space at our principal executive and administrative offices includes scheduled base rent increases over the term of the lease. In addition, this lease contains an
escalation clause to recover increases in future operating costs and real estate taxes over the base year. The future minimum lease payments shown below are inclusive of such escalation.



We have also entered into sub-lease agreements for certain office space and equipment. As of October 31, 2003, we had
entered into three separate sublease agreements with leasing terms ranging from one year to the year 2008. The future minimum lease payments shown below include both gross and net lease commitments.



Versata is seeking to renegotiate its headquarters lease in Oakland,
California with its landlord. As of the filing date of this annual report, we have not made our January lease payment and the landlord has not given us any default notices. If we are unable to reach an agreement, the landlord could serve us with a
default notice. Following receipt of any default notice, and if we fail to cure within applicable notice and cure periods, the landlord could elect to draw down on our letter of credit security deposit, terminate the lease, evict us and sue us for
damages.

The company has no
off-balance sheet arrangements and has not utilized any special purpose entities for the years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002 and the ten months ended October 31, 2001.



Contingencies



The Company accounts for contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. SFAS No. 5 requires that the Company record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of the Companys financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been
impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies such as legal matters requires significant judgment. Many of these legal matters
can take years to resolve. Generally, as the time period increases over which the uncertainties are resolved, the likelihood of changes to the estimate of the ultimate outcome increases. Management believes that the accruals for loss contingencies
are adequate.



Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



We are exposed to a variety of risks including changes in interest rates affecting the return on its investments and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency
fluctuations. In the normal course of business, we establish policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency values.



Interest Rate Risks.    We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting
principally of investments in commercial paper, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with financial institutions, money market funds and highly liquid debt securities of corporations, municipalities and the U.S. Government. These investments are
denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local operating bank.



All of the cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments are treated as available-for-sale. Investments
in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their 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 that have
seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, the Company reduces its interest rate risk by investing its cash in instruments with short maturities. We estimate that 10% uniform change in general interest rates would have
changed our net loss by approximately $23,000 in 2003, $42,000 in 2002, and $177,000 for the ten months ending October 31, 2001.

Foreign Currency
Risks.    As of October 31, 2003, Versata had operating subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia. Our revenue outside North America was 27% for the year ended October 31, 2003.
International sales were made mostly from the Companys foreign sales subsidiaries in the local 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, foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency.



The Companys international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to, differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange volatility. Accordingly, the Companys future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or
other factors. We estimate that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would have changed our net loss by approximately $83,000 in 2003 and $194,000 in 2002.



The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in
consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall financial results. We do not currently enter into foreign currency hedge transactions.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of (SFAS 121). SFAS 144 applies to all long- lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (APB 30). SFAS 144 develops one accounting model
for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of
discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. We adopted the
provisions of SFAS 144 in the year ended October 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Exit
or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that
are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3). The scope of
SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing
benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 in the year ended October 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146.



In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables(EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 sets out criteria for whether revenue on a deliverable can be recognized separately from other deliverables in a multiple deliverable
arrangement. The criteria consider whether the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer, whether the fair value of the delivered item can be reliably determined and the rights of returns for the delivered item. EITF 00-21 was adopted by
the Company for the year ended October 31, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others(FIN 45). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the
guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the disclosure
requirements were effective for the Company during the quarter ended January 31, 2003. The Company generally grants its customer a warranty, which guarantees that the Companys products will substantially conform to the Companys current
specifications as well as indemnification for customers from third party claims. Costs related to these guarantees and indemnifications have not been significant and the Company cannot estimate the potential impact of these guarantees and
indemnifications on future results of operations.

(iii) The decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent
accountants was approved by the audit committee of our board of directors.



(iv) In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002 and the subsequent interim periods, preceding the dismissal, we had no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused them to make reference
to the subject mater of the disagreements in connection with its report. We requested PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as to whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of
that letter, dated February 13, 2003, is filed as Exhibit 16 to our report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2003.

end of the period covered by this report the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Versata, Inc.



We have audited
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Versata, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of October 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended. Our audit also included the 2003 data in the financial statement schedule. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audit.



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



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Versata, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.



We have also audited Schedule II for the year ended
October 31, 2003. In our opinion, this schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    The Company



Versata, Inc. (Versata or the
Company) was incorporated in California on August 27, 1991, and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware on February 24, 2000. Versata provides a business logic management system that enables the creation, execution, change and re-use
of business logic (the heart of the application) for companies to build large, distributed applications in the Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) infrastructure. Versata provides a declarative approach for transaction and
process logic, which enables companies to deliver business logic as a key strategic asset of their enterprise architecture.



On December 31, 2001, we announced a change in our fiscal year from December 31 to October 31. The change was effective for the ten-month period ended
October 31, 2001.



On May 17, 2002, Versata stockholders
approved a reverse split of Versatas common stock, and on May 24, 2002 the Company implemented a one for six reverse stock split. Although there were no guarantees, the reverse stock split was implemented to allow the Companys common
stock to trade above the $1.00 per share minimum bid price as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and therefore, to help the Company to continue its listing on the NASDAQ National Market. On August 16, 2002, Versata received notification from the
NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel that the Company was in full compliance with the requirements necessary for continued listing on the NASDAQ National Market and the hearing file was closed. All shares and per share amounts in these consolidated
financial statements have been restated to give effect to this reverse stock split. The number of common shares authorized decreased commensurately from 155.0 million to 25.8 million.



2.    Basis of Presentation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Versata and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned
and located in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.



We have an accumulated deficit of $206.1 million as of October 31, 2003
and we have generated losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in current and prior periods. We may incur additional operating losses and negative cash flows in the future. Failure to generate sufficient revenue or reduce certain
discretionary spending could have a material adverse affect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.



Certain amounts in our prior years consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These
reclassifications have no impact on our previously reported net loss.



3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Use of estimates



The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates include, but are not limited to, the establishment of reserves for
accounts receivable and restructuring, revenue recognition, the useful lives for property, equipment, and intangible assets, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition



We derive revenue from three sources as follows: (i) sale of software licenses to end users, value added resellers
(VARs), distributors, system integrators and independent software vendors (ISVs); (ii) maintenance and support which consist of post-contract customer support (PCS); and (iii) professional
services which include consulting and training. We recognize revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition
(SOP 97-2), as amended. Under SOP 97-2, we record revenue from licensing of software products to end-users and system integrators, who use our software to build systems for their customers, when both parties sign a license
agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of the product has occurred. For VARs and distributors, we recognize revenue upon notification of sell-through, provided all other revenue recognition
criteria are met. For sales to certain ISVs, where we receive non-refundable royalty payments, we defer the fair value of PCS related to the arrangement and recognize the remainder as license revenue, when paid, provided all other revenue
recognition criteria are met. Generally, we provide payment terms that range from thirty to ninety days from the invoice date. Accordingly, payment terms that exceed ninety days are not considered fixed or determinable and revenue is recognized as
payments become due. When contracts contain multiple elements, and for which vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for the undelivered elements, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements based upon the
residual method. VSOE is generally the price for products sold separately or the renewal rate in the agreement for PCS. Undelivered elements consist primarily of PCS and other services such as consulting, mentoring and training. Services are
generally not considered essential to the functionality of the software. We recognize revenue allocated to PCS ratably over the period of the contracts, which is generally twelve months. For revenue related to consulting services, we recognize
revenue as the related services are performed. In instances where services are deemed essential to the software, both the software license fee and consulting fees are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. The
portion of fees related to either products delivered or services rendered which are not due under our Companys standard payment terms are reflected in deferred revenue and in unbilled receivables.



Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection
with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.



Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments



We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our short-term investments consist of debt securities with maturities greater than three months at the date of purchase and are carried at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Unrealized
gains and losses are reported without adjustment for taxes as a component of stockholders equity. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. At each period end presented, amortized cost approximated fair
value and unrealized gross gains or losses were insignificant, and during each of the periods presented, realized gains were insignificant. As of October 31, 2003 we maintained a $4.8 million balance within a certificate of deposit and classified as
restricted cash within our financial statements. This cash balance serves as security for the office lease payments related to our Oakland, California headquarters. The amount we need to maintain as a restricted cash balance will be reduced over
time as the unexpired term of our office lease is commensurately reduced.

Fair value of
financial instruments



The reported amounts of certain of
our Companys financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The reported amounts of loans payable approximate fair
value due to the market interest rates, which these debts bear.



Concentration of credit risk



Financial
instruments, which potentially subject our Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, investments, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and accounts receivable. Our Company places its cash investments with three
major financial institutions. At October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002 our Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limits of $13.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively.



The Company performs ongoing customer credit evaluations within the context of the industry in which it operates, does not
require collateral, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. A specific bad debt reserve of up to 100% of the invoice value is provided for certain problematic customer balances. A general
reserve is established for all other accounts based on the age of the invoices. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.



Two customers comprised 15% and 11%, respectively, of the total revenue
generated for the year ended October 31, 2003. One customer comprised 14% of the total revenue generated for the year ended October 31, 2002.



Two customers accounted for approximately 32% and 41% of our accounts receivable as of October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002, respectively.



Property and equipment



Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a



F-11

straight-line basis over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Equipment under capital lease is amortized
using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or their estimated useful lives.



Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the assets are
charged to expense. In the period assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss on disposal is included in results of operations.



Unbilled receivables



Fees from arrangements that provide for extended payment terms, and for
which our Company does not have a sufficient history of collection are recognized as revenue when payments become due. The portion of fees related to either products delivered or services rendered which are not due under our Companys standard
payment terms are reflected in deferred revenue and in unbilled receivables until payments become due.



Goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles



Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS
142). SFAS 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. The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective
November 1, 2001 and we had no goodwill recorded on our balance sheet on the date of adoption.



Stock-based compensation



Our Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(APB
25), and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans (FIN 28), and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of our
Companys common stock and the exercise price. SFAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity investment. The pro forma disclosures of the difference between the compensation
expense included in net loss and the related cost measured by the fair value method are presented below. Our Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and Financial Accounting
Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force 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 (EITF 96-18).



An alternative method to the intrinsic value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation is the fair value approach prescribed by SFAS 123 , as amended by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure.If the Company followed the fair value approach,
the Company would be required to record deferred compensation based on the fair value of the stock option at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock option is required to be computed using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes
option valuation model, at the date of the stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option.

Software
development costs



Software development costs are included
in product development and are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, material software development costs are capitalized. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product
life, or in the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is greater. The Company has defined technological feasibility as the establishment of a working model, and typically occurs when the beta testing commences, To
date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has not
capitalized any software development costs.



Foreign
currency translation



Assets and liabilities of foreign
operations where the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate prevailing during the period. The related gains and
losses from translation are recorded as a translation adjustment in a separate component of stockholders equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses have been immaterial to date.



Comprehensive loss



Comprehensive loss consists of net loss, the net changes in foreign currency
translation adjustment and the net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.



Income taxes



Our Company has accounted for income taxes 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 Companys financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets
are based on provisions of the enacted tax law. 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 available to holders of common stock 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 excludes potential common stock if their effect is antidilutive. Potential common stock consists of unvested
restricted common stock, and incremental common or preferred shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants.



The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share on post-split basis (in thousands, except per share data):

The classification of
long-lived assets, predominantly intangibles and property and equipment, are based on the location of the assets, or, for intangibles, the location of the entity owning the intangible asset. As of October 31, 2003, long-lived assets costing
approximately $7.2 million were located in North America, $909,000 were located in Europe, and $188,000 were located elsewhere. As of October 31, 2002, approximately $10.7 million of long-lived assets were located in North America, $336,000 were
located in Europe, and $190,000 were located elsewhere.



Certain risks and uncertainties



The
Companys products are concentrated in the industry segment for internet infrastructure software that is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry
standards. These products depend in part on third-party technology that the Company licenses from a limited number of suppliers. Also, the Company has depended on a limited number of products for substantially all revenue to date. Failure by the
Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or
introduction of products or services, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, cash flows and operations.



Recent accounting pronouncements



In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144).

SFAS 144 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of (SFAS 121). SFAS 144 applies to all long- lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (APB 30). SFAS 144 develops one accounting model for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale.
SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an
entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 144 in the year ended October 31,
2003. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS
146). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF
No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (EITF 94-3). The scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to
terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual
deferred-compensation contract. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 in the year ended October 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The provisions of EITF
No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146



In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables(EITF
00-21). EITF 00-21 sets out criteria for whether revenue on a deliverable can be recognized separately from other deliverables in a multiple deliverable arrangement. The criteria consider whether the delivered item has stand-alone value to the
customer, whether the fair value of the delivered item can be reliably determined and the rights of returns for the delivered item. EITF 00-21 was adopted by the Company for the year ended October 31, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others(FIN 45). FIN
45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The
initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and adoption of the disclosure requirements were effective for the Company during the quarter ended January 31, 2003. The Company
generally grants its customer a warranty, which guarantees that the Companys products will substantially conform to the Companys current specifications as well as indemnification for customers from third party claims. Costs related to
these guarantees and indemnifications have not been significant and the Company cannot estimate the potential impact of these guarantees and indemnifications on future results of operations.

Intangible assets are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of 3 years.



In October 31, 2001, we performed an impairment assessment of the identifiable and goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Verve, Inc. and our French distributor. The assessment was performed primarily
due to (1) the sustained decline in the Companys stock price since the valuation date of the shares issued in the Verve, Inc. acquisition, resulting in the net book value of its assets prior to the impairment charge exceeding the
Companys market capitalization; (2) the overall decline in the industry growth rates; and, (3) projected operating results. As a result, we recorded a $4.1 million impairment charge to reduce goodwill and other identifiable intangibles. The
charge was based upon the estimated discounted cash flows over the remaining

useful life of the goodwill using a discount rate of 20%. The assumptions supporting the cash flows, including the discount rate, were determined using the
Companys best estimate as of such date. There was no remaining goodwill balance at October 31, 2001



In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS No.
141), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. In addition, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 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 the impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. Versata adopted SFAS No. 142 effective November 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements
as we had no goodwill recorded on our balance sheet on the date of adoption.



The following table presents comparative information showing the effect excluding the amortization of goodwill would have had on the statements of operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

5.    Restructuring and Other



In January 2001, we implemented a cost cutting initiative that included a reduction in total staff of approximately 70 people, or 13% of the total workforce. This reduction impacted all departments, but primarily reflected a shift in the
strategy of our services organization.



In March 2001, we
announced a restructuring effort to realign our expenses with a business plan geared to the changing economy. This restructuring was designed to align the workforce with customer needs and focus on core business products. The restructuring plan
included the discontinuation of further development of non-core business products, facility consolidations, and a reduction in total staff, including domestic and international

employees and contractors. As a result of this restructuring effort we reduced staff by an additional 263 positions during fiscal 2001, and closed additional
field offices. We incurred $19.7 million in restructuring and other expenses as a result of these activities in fiscal 2001. During fiscal 2002, we eliminated an additional 70 positions, and expensed $1.9 million to restructuring and other as a
result of this restructuring effort.



In 2003 we provided for
office closures and anticipated losses on subleases of approximately $3.7 million. In addition, we reduced 10 positions within the Company.



Other costs accrued at October 31, 2003 primarily reflect $700,000 for the anticipated costs of the settlement agreement for the Securities Class Action
and State Derivative Actions described in Note 12.



The
following table summarizes the restructuring and other activity during the years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Approximately $1.0
million of the accrued restructuring and other will be paid in cash during fiscal 2004. We incurred a $3.7 million charge in fiscal 2003 for restructuring. Cash receipts relating to the early termination of a sublease totaling $1.0 million and other
accruals totaling approximately $600,000 were reclassified to our restructuring reserves during fiscal 2003.



6.    Related Party Transactions



During 2000, we held a $1 million investment in the preferred stock of TruMarkets, Inc., a privately held corporation. Our Chairman of the Board of Directors held a membership interest in the general partner of a
partnership that owned a controlling interest in the outstanding capital stock of TruMarkets, Inc. In January 2001, we provided the investee with a $500,000 bridge loan. As of December 31, 2000, the investee was in the process of developing its
products and was actively negotiating with third parties for additional financing to fund its operations. During March 2001, the investees attempts to obtain additional financing failed and the investee began efforts to sell the company. The
$500,000 loan was recorded in restructuring and other expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. In June 2001, TruMarkets, Inc. was acquired by MortgageSight Holding LLC (MortgageSight) and our investment and loan were converted to
22,122 shares of preferred stock, or less than 1% of MortgageSight. MortgageSight has subsequently ceased its operations; therefore, no amount has been recorded on the balance sheet.



In November 1999, our former Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Ferrell, delivered a full-recourse promissory note to us in
payment for 100,000 shares of Series F preferred stock. The principal amount secured under the note

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



was $556,000. The note bore interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum, compounded annually, and was secured by the purchased shares. The principal balance
would become due and payable in one lump sum on the third anniversary of the signing of the note (November 2002). In 2000, Mr. Ferrell paid down approximately $103,000 in principal and $35,000 in interest towards this note. In December 1999, Mr.
Ferrell delivered a full-recourse promissory note to us in payment of the exercise price of 400,000 outstanding stock options under our 1997 stock option plan. The principal amount secured under the note was $1.2 million. In 2000, Mr. Ferrell paid
down $84,000 approximately in interest towards this note. Mr. Ferrell resigned in February 2001. In February 2001, we exercised our right to repurchase 240,000 unvested shares of Mr. Ferrells 400,000 option shares. We paid par value to
repurchase the shares, which reduced the principal amount of the note by $720,000. The offset to the reduction in the note was recorded as a reduction in paid in capital. In October 2001, we wrote down $632,000 in principal in connection with both
of Mr. Ferrells notes. In April 2002, we cancelled both promissory notes and related accrued interest of $301,000 in exchange for a pledge of 260,000 shares of our Companys common stock owned by Mr. Ferrell. On that date, the fair market
value of the 260,000 shares was $109,000 and was recorded as treasury stock. We recorded $192,000 in restructuring and other expenses as a result of this transaction.



In January 2000, Mr. Hewitt delivered a full recourse promissory note to us in payment of the exercise price of stock
options issued pursuant to our 1997 Stock Option Plan. The principal amount secured under the note was $1 million. The note had a term of three years and bore interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum, compounded annually. The note was secured by the
purchased shares and additional collateral. The entire unpaid balance of the note was due and payable upon termination of employment, failure to pay any installment of principal or interest when due, or insolvency or bankruptcy, or in the event we
are acquired. None of the shares serving as security for the note could have been sold unless the principal portion of the note attributable to those shares and the accrued interest on that principal portion was paid to us. In December 2000, Mr.
Hewitt delivered to us another full recourse promissory note in the amount of $375,000. The note was secured by shares of our common stock held by us for the previous loan. The note was due and payable on January 31, 2002, and bore interest at the
prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal from time to time and compounded annually. Accrued interest was due on each anniversary of the signing of the note. Mr. Hewitt resigned in March 2001. In June 2001, in connection with Mr.
Hewitts termination of employment, we cancelled both promissory notes and related accrued interest totaling $1.5 million in exchange for a pledge of 770,000 shares of our Companys common stock owned by the officer. On that date, the fair
market value of the 770,000 shares was $919,000 and was recorded as treasury stock and $598,000 was included in restructuring and other expenses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company received $978,000 in cash from the sale of Mr.
Hewitts shares held in escrow.



In November 2003, we
entered into an engineering services agreement with Virtusa Corporation, a US and Indian based premier software engineering services firm which provides engineering support to software product developers and enterprise customers. Virtusa will
provide Versata with engineering services including platform port development, quality assurance and maintenance. Versatas own engineering team will retain responsibility for product vision, strategy, architecture, design and reference
implementation, enabling it to more aggressively drive product innovation and rapidly deliver the next round of capabilities in support of our new strategy. Our board member, Robert Davoli, is also a board member of Virtusa Corporation. A major
shareholder, Sigma Partners, is also a venture capital investor in Virtusa Corporation. Our board members Robert Davoli and Wade Woodson serve as managing directors of Sigma Partners.



7.    Borrowings



Equipment line



In August 1999, our Company obtained a capital financing line (the Equipment Line), which provides for the purchase of up to $1 million in
property and equipment with any amounts borrowed due within 36 months of

October 31, 2003 there were no borrowings outstanding against the Equipment Line.

Due to uncertainty
surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset.



Differences between the federal statutory and effective tax rates are primarily due to the resulting increase in the
valuation allowance.



At October 31, 2003 our Company has the
following approximate net operating loss carryforwards and research and experimentation credit carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, if any (in thousands):



|                                                  |  |                  |         |       |   |         |  |   |

The Companys net
operating loss and research and experimentation credit carryforwards expire through 2023 (through 2014 for state net operating loss carryforwards) if not used beforehand to offset taxable income or tax liabilities. For federal and state tax
purposes, our Companys net operating loss and research and experimentation credit carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations on annual utilization in the event of changes in ownership, as defined by federal and state tax laws.



9.    Common Stock

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



During fiscal 2000, certain common stock option holders exercised unvested options, subject to a
repurchase right held by our Company, in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination of employment of the stockholder. On April 6, 2001, the Company issued 384,166 shares of common stock to certain executive officers of the company. The
purchase price per share was at par value. The shares are subject to a repurchase right held by our Company. As of October 31, 2003 and October 31 2002, 45,164 and 160,066 shares of common stock, respectively, were subject to repurchase by our
Company.



During fiscal 2003, the Company issued 351,507 shares
of common stock to certain employees resulting in a stock-based compensation charge of $571,000.



10.    Stock Options and Purchase Plan



In November 1999, the Board of Directors of our Company approved the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the 2000 Plan), which became effective on March
3, 2000 in connection with the initial public offering of the common stock. The 2000 Plan serves as the successor to the Corporations 1994, 1996, and 1997 Stock Option Plans (the Predecessor Plans). All options outstanding under
the Predecessor Plans have been incorporated into the 2000 Plan, and no further option grants or stock issuances will be made under the Predecessor Plans. Each option so incorporated will continue to be governed by the terms of the agreement
evidencing that option, and no provision of the 2000 Plan will adversely affect or otherwise modify the rights of the holders of such incorporated options with respect to their acquisition of shares of common stock thereunder.



The 2000 Plan is comprised of five separate equity incentive programs: (i)
the Discretionary Option Grant Program under which options may be granted to individuals in the Corporations service which will provide them with the right to purchase shares of common stock at a fixed price per share equal to the fair market
value of the common stock on the grant date; (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which such individuals may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the purchase of those shares at fair market value or as a bonus for services
rendered to the Corporation; (iii) the Salary Investment Option Grant Program under which the Corporations officers and other highly-compensated executives may elect to invest a portion of their base salary each year in special option grants
with a below-market exercise price; (iv) the Automatic Option Grant Program under which non-employee Board members will automatically receive special option grants at designated intervals over their period of Board service; and (v) the Director Fee
Option Grant Program under which non-employee Board members may elect to have all or any portion of their annual cash retainer fee applied to special stock option grants with a below-market exercise price. The adoption of the 2000 Plan resulted in
the cancellation of 1,109,967 un-issued options relating to the Corporations 1994, 1996 and 1997 Stock Option Plans.



The Company established the 2003 Employment Inducement Award Plan (2003 Stock Plan) to provide a material inducement for the best available
employees to join the Company and to promote the success of the Companys business. The 2003 Stock Plan permits the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to employees as a material inducement to
entering into their initial employment with the Company; provided, however, that a former employee who is returning to the employ of the Company following a bona-fide period of non-employment by the Company may also receive an Award hereunder. The
maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the 2003 Stock Plan is 800,000 shares; provided, however, that commencing October 1, 2004, on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the 2003 Stock Plan, an
additional 400,000 shares shall automatically be added to the Plan; provided, further, that in no event shall more than 50% of the Shares issuable under the 2003 Stock Plan be granted pursuant to awards with an exercise price or purchase price that
is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. The shares may be authorized, but un-issued, or reacquired common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Fair value disclosures



Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), which also requires that the information be determined as if our Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method. The fair value
for these options was estimated using the minimum value method to the date of our initial public offering and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model thereafter.



Our Company calculated the minimum fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method as prescribed by
SFAS 123 using the following assumptions:



|                          |  |                           |  |                           |  |

The weighted average
fair value of the options granted in the years ended October 31, 2003, 2002, and the ten months ended October 31, 2001, was $1.78, $2.20, and $2.31, respectively.



Stock-based employee compensation



In connection with certain stock option grants, the Company recognized $285,000 of unearned compensation that is being
amortized over the vesting periods of the related options, usually 50 months, using an appropriate accelerated basis, in accordance with FIN 28. In addition, the Company recognized $571,000 of stock-based compensation through the issuance of our
common stock to certain employees in the year ended October 31, 2003. The total unearned compensation recorded by our Company from January 1, 1998 through October 31, 2003 was $41.3 million. Stock-based employee compensation expense recognized
during the years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002, and the ten months ended October 31, 2001, was $856,000, $1.0 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.



Amortization of stock-based compensation expense is as follows (in thousands):

Employee stock purchase plan



Versatas Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) was adopted by our Board of Directors in
November 1999 and was approved by the stockholders in February 2000. A total of 83,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. The reserve will automatically increase on the first trading day of the second
fiscal quarter each year, by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the immediately preceding first fiscal quarter. In no event will any annual reserve increase
exceed 1,000,000 shares.



The Purchase Plan enables eligible
employees to designate up to 15% of their compensation for the purchase of stock. The purchase price is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Versatas common stock on the first day or the last day of each six-month purchase period. No
compensation expense is recorded in connection with the plan. In August 2001, the Company suspended employee participation in the Purchase Plan. We did not issue shares under the Purchase Plan during the years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31,
2002.



11.    Employee Benefit Plans



In May 1995, our Company established a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the
Plan) which covers substantially all employees. Under the Plan, employees are permitted to contribute up to 15% of gross compensation not to exceed the annual 402(g) limitation for any Plan year. Discretionary contributions may be made
by our Company. Our Company made no contributions during the years ended October 31, 2003, October 31, 2002, or the ten months ended October 31, 2001.



We assumed 38,622 stock options in connection with the acquisition of Verve, Inc. that are subject to stock appreciation rights that allow the optionee to
elect to receive cash compensation equal to the increase in value of the stock option, in lieu of exercising the option. On November 20, 2000, we granted 3,268 options to some of the optionees with a $73.62 exercise price, and 35,354 options to the
remaining optionees with a $17.28 exercise price. The stock appreciation rights must be exercised by the optionees at the $17.28 exercise price. The stock appreciation rights must be exercised by the optionee in whole or in part no later than nine
months after the options vest. As of October 31, 2003, the stock appreciation rights for a total of 105 shares issued with a $73.62 exercise price were outstanding, and the stock appreciation rights for a total of 656 shares issued with a $17.28
exercise price were outstanding.



12.    Commitments and
Contingencies



Our Company has entered into leases for
certain office space and equipment with original terms ranging from 36 months to the year 2008. The lease for office space includes scheduled base rent increases over the term of the lease. The total amount of the base rent payments is charged to
expense over the term of the lease using the straight-line method. In addition, the lease for office space contains an escalation clause to recover increases in future operating costs and real estate taxes over the base year. The future minimum
lease payments shown below are inclusive of such escalation.



We have also entered into sub-lease agreements for certain office space and equipment. On October 30, 2002, we entered into a Termination of Sublease Agreement (Termination Agreement) with one of our subtenants. Under the terms
of the Termination Agreement, the sublease between us and the subtenant was terminated and the subtenant was released from its liabilities in exchange for payments totaling $950,000 that we received in November 2002. These payments were credited to
our restructuring reserve.

Securities Class Action and State Derivative Actions



On February 14, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California issued Orders of Final Approval of the Settlements of the
consolidated securities class action and the consolidated derivative action that were all initially filed in 2001. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Versatas directors and officers insurers paid $9.75 million, Versata issued 200,000
shares of common stock and implemented certain corporate therapeutics. The shares of common stock have a $3.50 per share put option exercisable for 20 trading days commencing one year after distribution; however, the put shall expire should our
stock trade above $3.50 per share for 15 trading days during the one year period following distribution. Distribution is scheduled to occur in January 2004. As of October 31, 2003 and 2002, we had accrued approximately $700,000 for this liability in
accrued restructuring and other in the accompanying financial statements.
