Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-QSB CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN
THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT"), AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
AMENDED (THE "EXCHANGE ACT"). ACTUAL RESULTS, EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES
(INCLUDING FUTURE PERFORMANCE, RESULTS AND TRENDS) COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM
THOSE SET FORTH IN SUCH STATEMENTS DUE TO VARIOUS FACTORS, RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY'S
FUTURE GROWTH AND OPERATING RESULTS, THE UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF THE
COMPANY'S PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, COMPETITIVE FACTORS AND GENERAL
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
Overview
The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports a family of
network security software products designed to provide comprehensive security to
computer networks, including Internet based systems and internal networks and
computing resources. The Company also offers to its customers a full range of
consulting services in network security, network design and support. From
inception (July 1990) through December 31, 1994, the Company was primarily
engaged in providing consulting and training services. In 1995, the Company
began to shift its focus from consulting and training to the development and
marketing of network security software products. The Company introduced its
first network software product (FIREWALL/PLUS) in June 1995. In January 1999,
the Company introduced its CYBERWALLPLUS-TM- family of network security
products. Accordingly, the Company has a limited relevant operating history as a
software developer upon which an evaluation of its prospects and future
performance can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of the
risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the operation and
expansion of a new business and the shift from research and product development
to commercialization of products based on rapidly changing technologies in a
highly specialized and emerging market. The Company will be required to
significantly expand its product and development capabilities, introduce new
products, introduce enhanced features to existing products, expand its in-house
sales force, establish and maintain distribution channels through third-party
vendors, increase marketing expenditures, and attract additional qualified
personnel. In addition, the Company must adapt to the demands of an emerging and
rapidly changing computer network security market, intense competition and
rapidly changing technology and industry standards. There can be no assurance
that the Company can successfully address such risks, and the failure to do so
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition.
To date, the Company has incurred significant losses and, at March 31,
1999, had an accumulated deficit of $ 15,077,000. In addition, since March 31,
1999, the Company has continued to incur significant losses. Inasmuch as the
Company has increased its level of activities following the consummation of its
initial public offering in November 1998 and will be required to make
significant up-front expenditures in connection with its sales and marketing and
continuing research and product development efforts, the Company anticipates
that losses will continue until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to
attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations. There can be no
assurance that the Company will ever achieve profitable operations.
During the period May 1998 through November 1998, the Company first
employed certain members of senior management, including Avi A. Fogel, President
and Chief Executive Officer, Robert P. Olsen, Vice President of Product
Management, Murray P. Fish, Chief Financial Officer, Joseph A. Donohue, Vice
President of Engineering, Joseph D. Harris, Vice President of International
Sales and Lance Westbrook, Vice President of North American Sales. In addition,
the Company intends to hire additional software engineers and developers and
additional sales and marketing personnel during 1999, as well as expand its
finance and administrative staff and increase expenses for employee benefits,
facilities, consulting, insurance, and other general operating needs.
The Company's software products have not yet achieved market
acceptance. The future success of the Company is largely dependent upon
market acceptance of its CYBERWALLPLUS-TM- family of software products which
was only first shipped in March 1999. While the Company believes that its
CYBERWALLPLUS-TM- family of software products offer advantages over competing
products for network security, license revenue from predecessor network
security software products offered by the Company since their introduction
(June 1995) through March 31, 1999 has only been $2,732,000, including a
non-refundable pre-paid royalty of $500,000 in 1997. In addition, during the
three month
-8-
period ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31,1998 license revenues
from software products decreased as compared to the three month period ended
March 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31,1997, respectively. There can be
no assurance that CYBERWALLPLUS-TM- will gain significant market acceptance.
Revenue from such commercial products depend on a number of factors, including
the influence of market competition, technological changes in the network
security market, the Company's ability to design, develop and introduce
enhancements on a timely basis, and the ability of the Company to successfully
establish and maintain distribution channels. The failure of CYBERWALLPLUS-TM-
to achieve significant market acceptance, as a result of competition,
technological change or other factors, would have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company has committed significant product and development
resources to its CYBERWALLPLUS-TM- family of products. The Company's
anticipated levels of expenditures for product development are based on its
plans for product enhancements and new product development. The Company
capitalizes and amortizes software development costs in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. These costs consist of
salaries, consulting fees and applicable overhead. During the year ended
December 31, 1999 the Company will significantly increase its product
development expenditures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
Revenues increased by $44,000 or 13%, from $339,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 to $383,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999, primarily as a result of one large consulting project serviced during the
three months ended March 31, 1999.
License revenues decreased by $125,000 or 64%, from $195,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 to $70,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999, primarily due to lower product licensing revenue from two major
resellers during the three months ended March 31, 1999 as well as the
introduction of its successor product line, CyberwallPLUS which commenced
shipping in March 1999.
Service revenues increased by $169,000 or 117%, from $144,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 to $313,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999. Service revenues from consulting increased by $161,000 or 136%, from
$118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $279,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in service revenues was attributable
to one large consulting project serviced during the three months ended March 31,
1999.
The Company's two largest customers, ARINC and Fluor Daniel, Inc.
accounted for 57% and 11% of the Company's revenues, respectively, during the
three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company's three largest customers during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 were The City of Hope, Sabre, Inc. and
OmniComm Systems, Inc. which accounted for 33%, 26% and 15% of the Company's
revenues, respectively. The Company's revenues from customers in the United
States represented 97% of its revenues during the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1999.
Cost of revenues consists of cost of licenses, amortization of software
development costs and cost of services. Cost of licenses consist of software
media (disks), documentation, product packaging, production costs, product
royalties and the cost of hardware associated with sales of FireWall/Plus
Premier Version. Cost of licenses decreased by $27,000 or 61%, from $44,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $17,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, representing 23% and 24% of license revenues, respectively. The
decrease in cost of licenses in dollar amount was due to the decrease in license
revenue. Cost of licenses as a percentage of license revenues may fluctuate from
period to period due to changes in product mix, changes in the number or size of
transactions recorded in a given period or an increase or decrease in licenses
of products which would require the Company to pay royalties to third parties.
Amortization of software development costs increased by $2,000 or 2%,
from $133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $135,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999, representing 68% and 193% of license
revenues, respectively.
Cost of services consist of salaries, benefits and overhead associated
with consulting services and maintenance. Cost of services increased by $239,000
or 319%, from $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $314,000 for
-9-
the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing 52% and 100% of service
revenues, respectively. The increase in cost of services in dollar amount
resulted primarily from hiring and travelling costs related to increases in
employees and consulting time expended which was not billable to the customer.
Cost of services as a percentage of license revenues may fluctuate from period
to period due to changes in consultant headcount, costs relating to hiring new
consultants or an increase or decrease in number of projects being worked.
Gross profit (loss) decreased from $87,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 to ($83,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
representing 26% and (22%) of revenues, respectively. The decrease in gross
profit was due to decreased license revenues and the increase in cost of
services as a result of increased hiring costs.
Product development consists of salaries, benefits, bonuses, travel and
related costs of the Company's product development personnel, including
consulting fees, the costs of computer equipment used in product and technology
development and third-party development contracts. Product development expenses
increased $184,000 or 89%, from $208,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 to $392,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing 61% and
102% of revenues, respectively. Total product developments costs, including
capitalized costs of $0 and $100,000, were $208,000 and $492,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in
total product development costs was due to the salaries and related employment
costs of the new development team in Waltham, MA. The Company currently
anticipates that product development costs will continue to increase as the
Company hires additional software engineers and developers to support the
Company's growth.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, including
commissions, benefits, bonuses, travel, advertising, public relations,
consultants and trade shows. Selling and marketing expenses increased by
$751,000 or 536%, from $140,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to
$891,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing 41% and 233% of
revenues, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was due
primarily to available funding for marketing as a result of the Company's
completion of its initial public offering and the release of its new product
line, CyberwallPLUS.
General and administrative expenses include employee costs, including
salary, benefits, travel and other related expenses associated with management,
finance and accounting operations, and legal and other professional services
provided to the Company. General and administrative expenses increased by
$317,000 or 150%, from $212,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to
$529,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing 63% and 138% of
revenues, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
due primarily to increased salaries related to the hiring of two (2) executive
officers of the Company in May 1998, increased professional fees and
recruiting fees, non-cash charges of $113,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 related to the value of stock options issued to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, and the value of other securities issued to third
parties for services, as compared to non-cash charges of $38,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 related to consulting services. The Company
currently anticipates that general and administrative expenses will continue
to increase as the Company hires additional personnel to support its growth
in future periods.
Interest expense decreased by $289,000 or 129%, from $224,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 to interest income of $65,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, representing 66% and 17% of revenues, respectively.
The decrease in interest expense and the increase in interest income was due to
the conversion of the majority of the Company's debt to equity concurrent with
the Company's initial public offering and the utilization of a portion of the
proceeds of the offering to pay the remaining debt.
No provision for or benefit from federal, state or foreign income taxes
was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1998 or the three months ended
March 31, 1999 because the Company incurred net operating losses during each
period and fully reserved its deferred tax assets as their future realization
could not be determined.
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss increased by $1,133,000 or
163%, from $697,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1,830,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's capital requirements have been and will continue to be
significant, and its cash requirements have been exceeding its cash flow from
operations. At March 31, 1999, the Company had $4,590,000 of cash and cash
equivalents and a working capital of $3,896,000. The Company has financed its
operations primarily through net proceeds from the
-10-
consummation of its initial public offering in November 1998, and prior thereto
by private sales of equity and debt securities. Net cash used in operating
activities was $383,000 and $1,363,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1999, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $697,000
and by decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities of $208,000 which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts
receivable of $159,000, and by amortization of debt discount of $164,000,
issuance of Common Stock and warrants for services rendered of $25,000 and
depreciation and amortization of $171,000. Net cash used in operating activities
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was primarily attributable to a net
loss of $1,830,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $109,000 which was
partially offset by increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
current liabilities of $332,000, and depreciation and amortization of $191,000.
The Company's operating activities during the three months ended March
31, 1998 were financed primarily with $400,000 of net proceeds from the issuance
of $400,000 principal amount of notes and warrants to purchase 74,795 shares of
Common Stock. The Company's operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 were primarily financed with the proceeds from the initial public
offering consummated in November 1998. The Company does not currently have a
line of credit from a commercial bank or other institution.
The Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and
assumptions relating to the implementation of its business plan (including the
timetable of, costs and expenses associated with, and success of, its marketing
efforts), that the net proceeds of its public offering, together with projected
revenues from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's operations
and capital requirements through January 2000. There can be no assurance,
however, that such funds will not be expended prior thereto due to unanticipated
changes in economic conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event
the Company's plans change or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate
(due to unanticipated expenses, difficulties, delays or otherwise) or projected
revenues otherwise prove to be insufficient to fund the implementation of the
Company's business plan or working capital requirements, the Company could be
required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. The
Company has no current arrangements with respect to any additional financing.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be
available to the Company when needed, on commercially reasonable terms or at
all. Any inability to obtain additional financing when needed would have a
material adverse effect on the Company, requiring it to curtail and possibly
cease its operations. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve
substantial dilution to the interests of the Company's then existing
stockholders.
Year 2000 Issue
The Company has assessed the potential software issues associated with
the Year 2000 and believes its software products are Year 2000 compliant and,
therefore, does not expect to incur material costs related thereto. With regard
to internal computing resources utilized in its operations, the Company does not
expect to incur material costs to make such resources year 2000 compliant.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The Company anticipates significant quarterly fluctuations in its
operating results in the future. The Company generally ships orders for
commercial products as they are received and, as a result, does not have any
material backlog. As a result, quarterly revenues and operating results depend
on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter, which are
difficult to forecast. Operating results may fluctuate on a quarterly basis due
to factors such as the demand for the Company's products, purchasing patterns
and budgeting cycles of customers, the introduction of new products and product
enhancements by the Company or its competitors, market acceptance of new
products introduced by the Company or its competitors and the size, timing,
cancellation or delay of customer orders, including cancellation or delay in
anticipation of new product introduction or enhancement. In addition, the
Company's consulting revenues tend to fluctuate as projects, which may continue
over several quarters, are undertaken or completed. Therefore, comparisons of
quarterly operating results may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon,
nor will they necessarily reflect the Company's future performance. Because of
the foregoing factors, it is likely that in some future quarters the Company's
operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and
investors. In such event, the price of the Common Stock would likely be
materially adversely affected.
