NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.    Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.

 

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

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Blue Martini Software, Inc. (“Blue Martini” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2004 and a subsequent Form 10-K/A filed on March 24, 2004.

Note 8.    Stock Option Plans and Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock Option Plans

 

Description of Plans. The Company’s stock option program consists of two plans: the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2000 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan. Stock options granted under these plans expire no later than ten years from the grant date and generally vest over two to four years. The Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors, which has the authority to designate participants and to determine the number and type of options to be granted, the time when options become exercisable, the method of payment and any other terms or conditions of the options. The Directors’ Plan designates participants and specifies the number, type, term and pricing of options granted, the exercisability and vesting schedule of such options, the method of payment and other terms and conditions. The Directors’ Plan is administered by our board of directors, which has the authority to determine provisions of options only to the extent not specified in the

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”, which amended SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as of December 31, 2002. As permitted under SFAS 148, the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

For the above calculation, the fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with no expected dividends. The risk-free interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury bill rates for the relevant expected useful lives. The Company estimated the expected useful lives based on vesting and purchase periods and terms of the options. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock equal to the expected lives of the options. The following table shows the weighted average assumptions for stock options:

 

    

Three Months Ended

Risk-free interest rate

   2.0 %   3.2 %

Expected life (in years)

   3.05     3.50  

Expected volatility

   47 %   76 %

 

Stock options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 had estimated fair values of $1.86 and $1.46, respectively, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The weighted average estimated fair values of the common stock purchase rights granted under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were $1.33 and $1.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Note 9.    Significant Customer Information

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Blue Martini should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements using terminology such as “can,” “may,” “believe,” “designated to,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those under Item 2 in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report and the risk factors fully described under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. All forward-looking statements and risk factors included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date thereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or risk factors, unless we are required to do so by law.

 

Overview

 

We provide sales optimization systems designed to enable companies to increase revenues by guiding salespeople, channel partners, and customers through sales interactions. Our revenues are derived from the licensing of our software and the sale of related services. The license agreement for our software typically provides for an initial fee to use the software in perpetuity, with use limited by the number of servers (CPUs), business unit, geographic area, brand or other similar limitations. Service revenues are principally derived from consulting services, maintenance and training. Our maintenance agreements are typically payable in advance,

 

10


Table of Contents

entitle customers to receive software updates, maintenance releases and technical support, and typically have a one-year term. Consulting services and training are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis.

 

We market our application suite primarily through a direct sales force. We also engage in alliances with systems integrators and technology vendors to assist us in marketing and selling our software and related services. Some of our customers use systems integrators to implement our product, and systems integrators are a significant influence in our customers’ purchasing decisions. We primarily target our products to customers competing in the commercial and consumer markets.

 

While our revenues to date have been derived principally from customers in the United States, international revenues accounted for 34% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004. We believe that international revenues may represent a significant portion of our total revenues in the future but may continue to fluctuate as a percentage of revenues in the near term due to variability in the number and size of our license deals and related service engagements. Our quarterly operating results have experienced seasonal fluctuations in the past and may continue to fluctuate based on several factors, including our customers’ budgeting cycles, sales incentive plans, slow summer purchasing patterns and general economic conditions in markets where we conduct business.

 

To date, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. The loss of a major customer or the delay or cancellation of anticipated significant license contracts would adversely affect our revenues and operating results in a particular quarterly period. Failure to obtain a significant number of new customers or additional orders from existing customers in any period would adversely affect our business and operating results. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, one customer, Masco Corporation, accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. Three customers namely, Computacenter Ltd., Federated Systems Group and Royal Doulton each accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable; combined, they accounted for 39% of net accounts receivable. See Note 9, Significant Customer Information, above.

 

Our operating expenses are based in part on our expectations of future revenues over the long term, and are largely fixed in the short term. As such, a delay in completion of new customer license contracts or the recognition of revenues from one or more license contracts could cause significant variations in our operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in lower-than-expected revenues in a given quarter, resulting in greater-than-expected net losses for that quarter.

 

We believe that our greatest challenges as a company are to increase our sales pipeline, close sales transactions more expeditiously and maintain relationships with existing customers. During 2003, our ability to sell was harmed by turnover in the leadership and staffing of our sales force. In 2004, we need to communicate better to our potential customers the immediate value we believe our solutions offer, we need to provide potential customers with a clear path to achieve that potential value, and we must grow our relationships with consulting and system integrator partners. We also need to increase our sales force productivity and ensure that new members of our sales team become productive within a reasonable period. We also strive to improve our overall performance by strengthening our competitive position, controlling costs, effectively managing our cash flow and better aligning our management and organizational structure to support our sales efforts.

The increase in license revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 was due to an increase in the number of transactions and the average selling price of our software licenses. Geographically, 34% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2004 were derived from international sources, as compared to 18% in the same period in 2003. We expect the number of international customers will continue to fluctuate due to variability in the number and size of our license deals and related service engagements.

Service revenues include maintenance and professional services revenues. The increase in maintenance revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year was due to the increase over time of the customer base under maintenance arrangements. The decrease in professional services revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year was due to our continued transitioning of professional services to our system integrator partners. This decrease in professional services revenues was partially offset by a non-recurring milestone payment in the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Cost of license revenues consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties and amortization of purchased intangible assets for software that are either embedded in or bundled with our products. Cost of license revenues were 8% and 18% of license revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decline in costs as a percentage of license revenue is primarily due to the purchased intangibles being fully amortized at the end of 2003 and due to the impact of this fixed component of cost of license on a higher license revenue base. Since these purchased intangibles were fully amortized in December 2003, cost of license revenue, when expressed in dollar terms, decreased for the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. In the near term, our cost of license revenues, when expressed in dollar terms, will fluctuate with license revenues.

   $ 3,093     (25 )%   $ 4,117  

Percentage of total revenues

Cost of service revenues consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, reimbursable expenses, costs of services provided by third party consultants engaged by the Company, allocated overhead costs, and depreciation of equipment used to provide consulting services, technical support and training. Allocated overhead costs for costs of services and other expense categories include facilities and information systems. Cost of service revenues were 56% and 70% of service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in dollar terms was primarily due to approximately 15% reduction in force from the corresponding quarter in the prior year arising from cost-saving actions we implemented in the second quarter of 2003. Our cost of service revenues is relatively fixed; however, our cost of service revenues, when expressed as a percentage of related service revenues, may fluctuate in the near term, based primarily on fluctuations in related service revenues.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, and other personnel-related expenses associated with our direct sales and marketing personnel, allocated overhead expenses, and costs of marketing programs including trade shows, advertisements, promotional activities and media events. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to increased commissions due to the higher license revenues and severance expenses in the first quarter of 2004. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in the near term reflecting related additional personnel and variable costs as we commit to improve our sales operations and continue to increase our license revenues.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for engineering personnel, allocated overhead costs, costs of contractors, and depreciation of equipment used in the development of our software products. To date, all costs related to the development of our software have been expensed as incurred. Our research and development operations in the three months ended March 31, 2004 remained at relatively the same level as the corresponding quarter in the prior year.

 

In the near term, we expect research and development expenses to remain at a similar level as the first quarter of 2004.

General and administrative expenses include costs associated with our finance, human resources, legal, and other administrative functions. These costs consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, professional fees, insurance premiums, provision for doubtful accounts, equipment depreciation, and allocated overhead costs. The decrease in general and administrative in the three months ended March 31, 2004 from the corresponding quarter in the prior year was primarily due to reductions in force in the second quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004 resulting in a headcount decrease of approximately 13%.

Net amortization of deferred stock compensation consists of the amortization of deferred stock compensation using the accelerated method, net of an adjustment for unvested options of terminated employees during the quarter that reverses previously recognized expenses.

 

In 2003, all deferred stock compensation remaining at the time was fully amortized. Deferred stock compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004 consists of a charge of $96,000 due to the accelerated vesting of options in connection with a termination agreement with a former Company executive.

 

Interest Income and Other, Net

 

Interest income and other, net consists primarily of interest income from cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest income and other were $229,000 and $356,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments over time. We expect interest income to decrease as the amount of cash and cash equivalents available for investment decreases as cash is used in operations and as interest rates remain at the current low level.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds, commercial paper and U.S. treasury and government agency securities. All of our investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and carried at fair value based on quoted market prices in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities increased to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and other changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the increase in

license revenues in the first quarter of 2004 relative to the first quarter of 2003, partially offset by improvement in days sales outstanding from 66 days in the first quarter of 2003 to 49 days in the first quarter of 2004.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $11.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2003. The difference was due primarily to a decrease in the sales and maturities of short-term investments in 2004 from the timing of maturities of our investment securities. We do not expect any significant capital expenditures in the near future.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $238,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 due primarily to increased proceeds from employee stock option exercises.

 

At March 31, 2004, we had aggregate operating lease commitments of approximately $7.5 million, payable through 2006, of which, $2.2 million have been accrued and reflected on the balance sheet as part of the accrued restructuring charges.

 

Our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations in any period could be affected by the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan. The resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares could also affect, our per share results of operations. However, we cannot predict the timing or amount of proceeds from the exercise of these securities, or whether they will be exercised at all.

 

We expect that for the foreseeable future, our operating expenses will continue to constitute a significant use of our cash balances. In addition, we may use cash to fund acquisitions or invest in other businesses, technologies or product lines. We currently anticipate that our existing cash and investments will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated working capital, capital expenditure and operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. Either within this time period or at some future date, if our current financial performance continues, we may need to raise additional funds in the future through public or private debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that this additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on reasonable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may have to accept financing on terms we view as unreasonable or that are dilutive to our stockholders, or to cease operations. If we were to seek additional financing today, we do not believe it would be available on reasonable terms.

 

The existence or even the anticipation of an uncertain economic and political environment by potential customers in the markets we operate in has affected the demand for our applications, caused pricing pressures for our products and increased customer requests for extended payment terms. We expect current conditions to continue in future periods, which could in turn materially reduce our liquidity.

Factors That May Impact Future Operating Results

 

Set forth below and elsewhere in this quarterly report and in the other documents we file with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report. Prospective and existing investors are strongly urged to carefully consider the various cautionary statements and risks set forth in this quarterly report and our other public filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K. Some of these factors are as follows:

 

Risks Related To Our Financial Condition

 

    We have incurred losses throughout our operating history. These losses may continue for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve profitability.

 

    Our declining cash balance and volatile stock price have affected our potential and current customers’ and partners’ perception of our viability, which in turn could affect our ability to close sales and partnership transactions.

 

    Cost reduction efforts may harm our productivity and service levels.

 

Risks Related To Our Products

 

    If we fail to keep pace with technological innovation, improve our existing products, or develop new products, our application suite could become obsolete and our revenues would decline.

 

    If we fail to release new versions and upgrades of our application suite in a timely manner, customers may license competing products and our revenues may decline.

 

    If our application suite does not successfully function for customers with large numbers of transactions, customers or product offerings, we may lose sales and suffer decreased revenues.

 

    Our applications may be implemented in a way that does not capture our customers’ business processes or address their needs.

 

    Loss or unavailability of key technologies licensed to us by third parties could affect our ability to license our product.

 

    If our product does not operate with the wide variety of hardware, software and operating systems used by our current and potential customers, our revenues would be harmed.

 

    Defects in our application suite could diminish demand for our application suite and result in loss of revenues, decreased market acceptance, injury to our reputation and product liability claims.

 

    If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or become subject to intellectual property infringement claims, we may lose a valuable asset or incur costly and time-consuming litigation.

 

Risks Related to Our Market and Our Ability to Sell

 

    The economic downturn significantly affected demand for our products and services and may continue to adversely affect future revenues.

 

    We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors.

 

    The sales cycle for our products is long, and variable, which makes it difficult to predict our future revenues and may cause our operating results to vary significantly.

 

    We have recently changed several aspects of our sales strategy and process with the intention of improving our sales pipeline and results, including changes in the way we generate leads, hiring of additional salespeople and changes in the way we target and approach accounts. We expect that it may take up to twelve months to see positive results from these changes; although these changes may not show positive results during that period or at all. As a result of these changes, our ability to market and license our software may be limited accordingly.

 

16


Table of Contents
    A small number of customers have accounted for a substantial portion of our revenues. In the three months ended March 31, 2004, one customer, Masco, accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. This pattern is likely to continue for the foreseeable future; as a result, our revenues could decline due to the loss or delay of a single customer order, the delay in recognizing revenue associated with a single customer order, or the failure to collect revenue associated with a single customer.

 

    We may not successfully establish ourselves in international markets or generate significant revenues abroad, which could result in slower revenue growth and harm our business.

 

    Increasing government regulation of the Internet, imposition of sales and other taxes on products sold by our customers over the Internet and privacy concerns relating to the Internet could reduce the licensing of our application suite and harm our business.

 

Risks Related To System Integrators

 

    Our failure to develop and maintain strong relationships with consulting and system integrator firms (CSIs) would harm our ability to market our application suite, which could reduce future revenues and increase our expenses.

 

    Our failure to develop and maintain strong relationships with systems integrators would harm our ability to implement our application suite.

 

Other Risks

 

    Changes in accounting policies created and interpreted by authoritative agencies can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced.

 

    We may enter into mergers or acquisitions in the future; our business could be affected by the distraction and challenges by such transaction.

 

    Although the purported shareholders’ derivative complaint against us relating to our IPO has been favorably resolved, and we have agreed in principle to a tentative global settlement, which remains subject to a number of procedural conditions and formal approval by the court, of the securities class action claims against us and other companies relating to our collective IPOs, as a technology company with a volatile stock price, we may be at risk of other litigation, which could result in substantial costs and divert management attention and resources.

 

    We may have difficulty retaining or recruiting qualified personnel, which could impact the development and licensing of our application suite.

 

    Our Chairman and CEO maintains significant control over Blue Martini, which may lead to conflicts with other stockholders over corporate strategy and other issues.

 

    We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could discourage or prevent a takeover.

 

Due to these and other factors, we may not meet the expectations of our shareholders with respect to our revenues and other operating results, which could adversely affect our stock price. Please refer to “Risk Factors” under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, for further discussion of risk factors.

 

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Foreign Currency Exchange

 

Through March 31, 2004, most of our recognized revenues have been denominated in United States dollars and were from both domestic and international customers. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes has not been material. We expect that a portion of future license and service revenues will continue to be derived from international markets and may be denominated in the currency of the applicable market. We have

 

17


Table of Contents

incurred operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies. Our future operating results may become subject to significant fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies in relation to the United States dollar. In the future, we expect to engage in international sales denominated in both the United States dollar and in foreign currencies. An increase in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products less competitive in international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations and, when appropriate, may use economic hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we can make no assurances that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future. Through March 31, 2004, we have not engaged in foreign currency hedging activities.

 

Fixed Income Securities

 

At March 31, 2004, we had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities, including those classified as cash equivalents, of $41.8 million compared to $46.2 million at December 31, 2003. Our exposure to financial market risk, including changes in interest rates, relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. This exposure is limited by the establishment and strict monitoring of compliance with our investment policy which provides for investments in fixed income securities with maturities not exceeding 18 months. This policy also establishes credit quality standards and limits investment exposure to any one issuer. We do not invest in any derivative instruments. Due mainly to the relatively short-term nature of our available-for-sale investment portfolio, the fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates.

 

ITEM 4.   EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Quarterly Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls:    As of March 31, 2004 (the “Evaluation Date”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (the “Disclosure Controls”), as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting (the “Internal Controls”). This evaluation (the “Controls Evaluation”) was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO. Rules adopted by the SEC require that we present the conclusions of the CEO and the CFO about the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls based on and as of the date of the Controls Evaluation.

 

Certifications:    Attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1 are two separate forms of certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The certifications attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). The information contained in this Item 4 relates to the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications, and should be read with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

 

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting:    Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure and internal controls over our financial reporting. Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and include those policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurances that our transactions are properly authorized, our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and our transactions and dispositions of assets are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

Table of Contents

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls:    Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Scope of the Controls Evaluation:    The CEO and CFO evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our controls’ implementation and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. We will perform this type of evaluation on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and to make modifications as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.

 

Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” in our Internal Controls, or whether we have identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our Internal Controls. This information was important both for the Controls Evaluation generally and because item 5 in the Section 302 Certifications require that the CEO and CFO disclose such information to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and to our independent auditors and to report on related matters in this section of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the professional auditing literature, “significant deficiencies” are referred to as “reportable conditions,” which are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A “material weakness” is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement or correction to make in accordance with our on-going procedures.

 

Conclusions:    Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information related to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting:    In accordance with SEC requirements, our CEO and CFO note that, during the the quarter ended March 31, 2004, there have been no changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Beginning in July 2001, Blue Martini, Monte Zweben, William Zuendt, Andrew Verhalen, certain of our former officers and directors and Goldman Sachs and the other underwriters of our initial public offering, or IPO, were named as defendants in several class action shareholder complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, consolidated under the title In re Blue Martini Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. Plaintiffs claim that the defendants violated the federal securities laws because our IPO registration statement and prospectus allegedly contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed in the same Court against hundreds of other public companies that conducted IPOs of their common stock since the mid-1990s. On August 8, 2001, all IPO-related lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial purposes before United States Judge Shira Scheindlin of the Southern District of New York. In accordance with Judge Scheindlin’s orders, we did not answer the complaint, and no discovery was served. Also in accordance with Judge Scheindlin’s orders, plaintiffs filed amended consolidated complaints on April 19, 2002. We joined in a global motion to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits on July 15, 2002. On or about October 9, 2002, our directors and officers were dismissed without prejudice pursuant to a stipulated dismissal and tolling agreement between the plaintiffs and certain individual defendants. On November 1, Judge Scheindlin presided over an all-day hearing on the global motions to dismiss. On February 19, 2003, Judge Scheindlin issued a ruling on the global motion to dismiss; with respect to us, the motion was granted in part and denied in part. In June 2003, we joined in a tentative global settlement that would, among other things, result in the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against all issuers and their officers and directors in the IPO-related lawsuits, and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the issuers may have against their IPO underwriters. The tentative settlement provides that, in the event that the plaintiffs ultimately recover less than $1 billion in settlement or judgment against the underwriter defendants in the IPO-related lawsuits, the plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs’ guaranteed recovery. The tentative settlement does not involve any payment or admission of wrongdoing by us. In July 2003, pursuant to the authorization of a special litigation committee of the our Board of Directors, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding reflecting the settlement terms described above. In September 2003, in connection with the possible settlement, our officers and directors described above who had entered tolling agreements with plaintiffs agreed to extend those agreements so that they would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. Although Blue Martini has approved this settlement proposal in principle, it remains subject to a number of procedural conditions, as well as formal approval by the court.

 

On or about July 24, 2002, a complaint was filed against Blue Martini in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Queens. The complaint, captioned Fresh Direct, Inc. v. Blue Martini Software, Inc., was filed by a customer that had licensed our products and engaged us to perform related services. The complaint was amended on or about August 26, 2002, to change the plaintiff to Fresh Direct, LLC as successor to Fresh Direct, Inc. The amended complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and unjust enrichment. On or about September 18, 2002, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about October 23, 2002, Fresh Direct opposed the motion to dismiss and filed a cross-motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, which we subsequently opposed. On or about March 24, 2003, the Court issued an order which granted in part and denied in part our motion to dismiss and granted Fresh Direct’s motion for leave to file the second amended complaint. In April 2003, we appealed the denial of the motion to dismiss, and in May 2003, we filed its answer to the second amended complaint and counterclaims for breach of contract and fraud. In May 2004, the appellate court affirmed the lower court’s decision respecting the motion to dismiss.
