BROADVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All quarterly data herein is unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
BroadVision, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) was incorporated in the state
of Delaware on May 13, 1993 and has been a publicly-traded corporation since 1996. BroadVision
develops, markets, and supports enterprise portal applications that enable companies to unify their
e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners,
and customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues, reduces costs, and
improves productivity.
In September 2005, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The
Nasdaq Stock Market stating that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and that
it would be provided 180 calendar days (or until March 6, 2006) to regain compliance. Because of
this non-compliance and in order to complete the stock for debt exchange described below without
violating applicable listing standards, the Company delivered to Nasdaq a notification of
voluntarily delisting of its common stock from the Nasdaq National Market, and its common stock was
delisted from the Nasdaq National Market effective March 8, 2006. Accordingly, the last day of
trading on the Nasdaq National Market was March 7, 2006. Quotations for BroadVisions common stock
are currently available through the Pink Sheets under the trading symbol BVSN.
As discussed more fully in our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of year 2005
Form 10-K, subsequent to the issuance of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, based on
clarifying SEC guidance issued in 2005, we made a determination that the convertible debentures
entered into in 2004 included an embedded derivative that should be valued under the provisions of
SFAS 133. We had previously determined that convertible debentures were conventional under the
provisions of EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock. Therefore, we have restated our operating results
for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2004, and for the three-month periods ended
March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005.
Basis of Presentation
At March 31, 2006, the Companys current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $
13.2 million (negative working capital) resulting in a working capital ratio of approximately 0.66
to 1.0. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current
assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first quarter of 2006 and our internal
financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working
capital requirements through at least the end of 2006 from our existing cash and cash equivalents
and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through December 31,
2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a combination
thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the carrying
values or classification of the assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements to
take account of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Basis of consolidations
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. In the Companys opinion, the consolidated financial statements presented herein
include all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to fairly state the
Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make certain
assumptions and estimates that affect reported
Page 6
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
estimates including those related to collectibility of customer accounts, the value assigned to and
estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, the realizability of goodwill and tax assets,
contingent liabilities and the valuation of equity securities.
The financial results and related information as of March 31, 2006 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2005 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does
not necessarily reflect all of the informational disclosures previously reported in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions in Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder
of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
Employee Stock Option and Purchase Plans
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach
in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock
Compensation (SFAS 123). However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their
fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. On January 1,
2006 (the first day of its 2006 fiscal year), the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified
prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123R. Under the modified prospective transition method,
compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes: (a)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January
1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123, adjusted for an
estimated future forfeiture rate, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R. Under the modified-prospective-transition method, results for the prior
periods have not been restated.
The Company has two share-based compensation plans: its Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Plan)
and its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan).
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had 96 million shares of common stock
available for issuance under the Equity Plan. Under this plan, the Board of Directors may
grant incentive or nonqualified stock options at prices not less than 100% or 85%, respectively, of
the fair market value of the Companys common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors, at
the date of grant. The vesting of individual options may vary but in each case at least 25% of the
total number of shares subject to options will become exercisable per year. These options generally
expire ten years after the grant date. When an employee option is exercised prior to vesting, any
unvested shares so purchased are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original purchase
price of the stock upon termination of employment. The Companys right to repurchase lapses at a
minimum rate of 20% per year over five years from the date the option was granted or, for new
employees, the date of hire. Such right is exercisable only within 90 days following termination of
employment.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had 1,023,000 shares available for issuance
under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan). The Purchase Plan permits eligible
employees to purchase common stock with a value equivalent to a percentage of the
employees earnings, not to exceed the lesser of 15% of the employees earnings or $25,000,
at a price equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at
on the date of the offering or the date of purchase. Under APB Opinion No. 25, the Company
was not required to recognize stock-based compensation expense for the cost of shares issued under
the Companys Stock Purchase Plan. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company began recording
stock-based compensation expense related to the Purchase Plan.
Page 7
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31,
2006 was approximately $168,000, after income tax effect was considered.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option valuation model which uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected
volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Companys stock over the expected term of
the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination
within the valuation model. The expected term of options is derived from the output of the option
valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding. The risk free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the
U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of
the grant.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company determined to use the forfeiture rate of 0% as
it reasonably approximates the currently anticipated rate of forfeiture for granted and outstanding
options. The adoption of this rate had no material effect on the stock-based compensation reported
for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized
forfeitures under SFAS 123 as they occurred. The Company grants options under the Equity Plan to
both employees and non-employee directors, for whom the vesting period of the grants is generally
two to five years. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the following assumptions are used for
these stock option grants to determine stock-based compensation expense:

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee
stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
25 (APB 25), Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44),
Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensationan Interpretation of APB Opinion
25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant
only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, the Company disclosed the pro forma
effects of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements. The
Company accounted for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That
Are Issued to Other Than Employees For Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.
In accordance with these accounting standards, we recorded no stock-based compensation expense
during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
The Company determined pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share in prior years as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method
as required by SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Compensation. The fair value of these stock-based
awards to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For purposes of pro
forma disclosures during fiscal periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006,
the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the vesting period of the options using
the straight-line method. The Companys pro forma information previously reported for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows (in thousands, except for per share data):

The Company granted 144,000 restricted stock awards to its non-employee board members in March
2006. The total compensation cost related to the nonvested stock options not yet recognized is
approximately $1.1 million over the next 23 months.
Earnings Per Share Information
Basic income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted income per share is computed
using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, common
equivalent shares from outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method,
potential common shares from the conversion of convertible debt using the as-if converted method,
and shares subject to repurchase. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted income
per share computational data for the periods presented.
There were 11.0 million potential shares excluded from the determination of diluted net income per
share for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as the effect of each share was anti-dilutive.

Legal Matters
The Companys current estimated range of liability related to pending litigation is based on claims
for which it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company can estimate the amount
and range of loss. The
Page 10
Company has recorded the minimum estimated liability related to those
claims, where there is a range of loss. As additional information becomes available, the Company
will assess the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revise its estimates, if
necessary. Such revisions in the Companys estimates of the potential liability could materially
impact the Companys results of operations and financial position. The Company currently is not a
party to any legal proceedings.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Companys functional currencies for all foreign subsidiaries are the local currency of the
respective countries. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for
the period. Currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), a
component of stockholders equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included in other income (expense),
net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The
Company assesses the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141) and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS 142).
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), on January 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company is required
to test its goodwill for impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-step
approach to determining whether and by how much goodwill has been impaired. The first step
requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to its net book value. If the fair value is
greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is less, then the second
step must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment. For the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no such impairments of goodwill, or other long-lived
assets.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current
period presentation. These reclassifications do not impact BroadVisions consolidated financial
condition, results of operation or cash flows.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which
consists of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and cumulative translation
adjustments. Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is displayed as a separate
component of stockholders equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
accumulated balances for each classification of comprehensive income (loss) consist of the
following, net of taxes (unaudited, in thousands):

New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting
for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS
155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to, among other things, clarify or amend
provisions regarding the fair value
measurement of financial instruments with embedded derivatives and the recording of interests in
securitized financial assets. SFAS 155 will be effective for all financial instruments acquired or
issued after January 1, 2007.
Page 11
The Company is currently analyzing SFAS 155 and has not determined
its potential impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 (FAS 156), Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. Among other requirements, FAS 156 requires a
company to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability when it undertakes an obligation to
service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under certain situations. Under FAS
156 an election can also be made for subsequent fair value measurement of servicing assets and
servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying the accounting and provide for income statement
recognition of potential offsetting changes in the fair value of servicing assets, servicing
liabilities and related derivative instruments. The Statement will be effect beginning the first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 156 to have
a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FIN No. 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes which prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the
derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for
uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of determining the effect, if any,
that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on its financial statements.

The Company has maintained various credit facilities with a commercial lender:
|
|
|
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company maintained a revolving line
of credit in the form of a loan and security agreement with a commercial lender, which
expired in February 2006. No amounts were outstanding under this credit facility. |
|
|
|
|
The Company has entered into term debt in the form of notes payable with the
same lender. The term debt requires monthly payments of approximately $38,000 plus
interest through October 2006, and monthly payments of approximately $2,000 for the five
months ending March 2007. A portion of the term debt was utilized for an equipment line of
credit. Principal and interest are due in monthly payments through maturity based on the
terms of the facilities. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the entire balance of
$277,000and $389,000, respectively, was classified as currently due. |
Convertible Notes
In November 2004, the Company issued $16.0 million of Notes that were convertible, at the holders
option, into common stock at a conversion price of $2.76 per share, subject to adjustment in
certain defined circumstances, including dilutive equity issuances. The Notes bore interest at a
rate of six percent per annum. In October 2005, the Company inadvertently did not make timely
payment of the third quarter interest payment due under the Notes. Lack of timely payment became
an event of default. As a result, the event of default permitted each noteholder to require the
Company to redeem 120% of all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the applicable Note.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded additional principal of $2.6
million, which represented the 20% increase in the redeemable debt premium.
In November 2005, the Notes were purchased by an unaffiliated investor, and subsequently on
November 18, 2005, the Notes were purchased by an entity controlled by Dr. Pehong Chen, the
Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On December 20, 2005, in order to relieve
BroadVision from the liquidity challenges presented by the Notes, Dr. Chen and the Company entered
into a Debt Conversion Agreement whereby Dr. Chen agreed to cancel all amounts owed under the Notes
in exchange for 34,500,000 shares of BroadVision common stock, which were issued in March 2006 as
discussed below, at an effective price per share of $0.45, representing a 25% discount to the
December 20, 2005 closing price of BroadVision common stock of $0.60 per share. Because of the
significant difference between the $0.45 per share exchange price and the $2.76 per share
conversion price included in the Notes, the Company accounted for this transaction as a deemed
extinguishment and reissuance of the Notes. A loss of $7.0 million was recorded in December 2005
under Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 26, Extinguishment of Debt, equal to fair value of the
reissued Notes (which was determined to be the fair value of the underlying common shares into
which the Notes were to be exchanged) less the carrying value of the extinguished Notes. As a
result, the Notes were carried at December 31, 2005 at fair value of the Common Stock on December
20, 2005 of $20.5 million less shares representing interest of $165,000.
In March 2006, the notes were cancelled and the related shares were issued. As a result of this
share issuance , Dr. Chens ownership of our common shares increased to approximately 59%. The
issuance of shares was recorded in Stockholders equity (deficit) at the amount then outstanding of
$20.5 million.
The Company made a determination that the convertible notes entered into in 2004 included certain
embedded derivatives (conversion feature and additional investment rights) that should be valued
under the provisions of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The additional investment rights expired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Accordingly,
the conversion feature and additional investment rights have been revalued each applicable
reporting period under SFAS 133, with the resulting gains and losses recorded in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Further, in conjunction with the December 20, 2005 Debt
Conversion Agreement, the conversion feature was no longer considered to be a derivative, as the
conversion rate was fixed at $0.45 per share. Additional investment rights of $132,000 were
included in the fair value of the Notes upon modification on December 20, 2005.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Notes to the institutional investors in original private
offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,739,130 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $3.58 per share, which were adjusted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to shares
exercisable for 3,082,219 common shares at an exercise price of $2.02 per shares as a result of the
issuance of shares to cancel the debt (see Note 8). The purpose of the
issuance of additional warrants is to alleviate the dilution effect from the exchange of
convertible notes for common
Page 13
stocks. The warrants were exercisable beginning in May 2005 and have a
five-year life. None of the warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2006. The warrants have
been accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133, as the warrants allow for the potential
settlement in cash. As such, the warrants have been revalued each reporting period under SFAS 133,
with the resulting gains and losses recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Gains (losses) on the revaluation of the warrants (including the warrants from the real estate
buyout discussed further in Note 7) and the embedded derivatives were recorded as follows (in

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties and Indemnification
The Company provides a warranty to its customers that its software will perform substantially in
accordance with documentation typically for a period of 90 days following receipt of the software.
The Company also indemnifies certain customers from third-party claims of intellectual property
infringement relating to the use of its products. Historically, costs related to these guarantees
have not been significant and the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of
these guarantees on its future results of operations.
The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or
occurrences while the officer is, or was, serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification
period is for so long as such officer or director is subject to an indemnifiable event by reason of
the fact that such person was serving in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future
payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited;
however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and
enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of the Companys
insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification
agreements is insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these
agreements as of either March 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005. The Company assesses the need for an
indemnification reserve on a quarterly basis and there can be no guarantee that an indemnification
reserve will not become necessary in the future.
Leases
The Company leases its headquarters facility and its other facilities under non-cancelable
operating lease agreements
expiring through the year 2012. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to pay
lease costs, property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

Note 6. Restructuring Charges
Through March 31, 2006, the Company has approved certain restructuring plans to, among other
things, reduce its workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and asset impairment charges
have been taken to align the Companys cost structure with changing market conditions and
to create a more efficient organization. The Companys restructuring charges have been
comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits termination costs related to the reduction of
its workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating our
facilities; (iii) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan;
and (iv) impairment costs related to certain long-lived assets abandoned. The Company
accounts for each of these costs in accordance with SAB 100, Restructuring and Impairment
Changes (SAB 101).
For each of the periods presented herein, restructuring charges consist solely of:
Severance and Termination Benefits These costs represent severance, payroll
taxes and COBRA benefits related to restructuring plans implemented prior to the date recognized.
For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, the Company accounted
for severance and benefits termination costs in accordance with EITF 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 Company accounts for severance and benefits
termination costs for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 in accordance
with SFAS 146, Accounting For Costs Associated with Exit Activities (SFAS 146).
Excess Facilities These costs represent future minimum lease payments related to
excess and abandoned space under lease, net of estimated sublease income and planned company
occupancy. For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we account
for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with EITF 88-10, Costs Associated with
Lease Modification or Termination. Accordingly, we recorded the costs associated with lease
termination and/or abandonment when the leased property had no substantive future use or benefit to
us. For exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for lease
termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with SFAS 146, which requires that a liability
for such costs be recognized and measured initially at fair value on the cease use date of the
facility.
As of March 31, 2006, the total restructuring accrual of $6.9 million consisted of the following

The Company has based its excess facilities accrual, in part, upon estimates of future sublease
income. The Company has used the following factors, among others, in making such estimates:
opinions of independent real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an
assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of
negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facilities. The Company
has recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for restructuring charges, in accordance
with SFAS 5. Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be required if actual sublease income
differs from amounts currently expected. The Company will review the status of restructuring
activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to our restructuring
obligations in current operations based on managements most current estimates.

The warrant issued in connection with the real estate transaction has a term of five years and
became exercisable beginning in August 2005. None had been exercised as of March 31, 2006.
In connection with the Note cancellation and stock issuance discussed above, the warrants
issued to convertible note investors in November 2004 (see Note 3), which were originally
exercisable to purchase 1,739,130 shares at an exercise price of $3.58 per share, were adjusted
such that, following such share issuance, the warrants became exercisable for 3,082,219 common
shares at an exercise price of $2.02 per share. The purpose of the issuance of additional warrants
is to alleviate the dilution effect from the exchange of convertible notes for common stock. The
Company recorded a charge of $282,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to reflect the issuance
of additional warrants, in its consolidated financial statements. The remaining terms of the
warrants were unchanged. The Warrants have a term of five years and became exercisable beginning
in May 2005. None had been exercised as of March 31, 2006.
In accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock, the warrants issued to convertible notes investors
have been included as a short-term liability and were originally valued at fair value on the date
of issuance. The warrants are revalued each period until and unless the warrants are exercised.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded gains related to the
revaluation of warrants to the landlord and note holders of approximately $400,000 and 800,000,
respectively. These gains are included as a component of Restructuring charges and of Other income
(expense), net, respectively, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
If the warrants are exercised prior to their termination, their carrying value will be transferred
to equity.
Note 8. Stockholders Equity
As discussed more in details in Note 3, Dr. Pehong Chen, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, in December 2005 entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement whereby Dr. Chen agreed to
cancel all amounts owed under the Notes in exchange for 34,500,000 shares of BroadVision common
stock. In March 2006, the notes were cancelled and the related shares were issued. As a result of
this share issuance, the $20.5 million Notes carrying amount of fair value at December 31, 2005 was
charged to common stock and additional paid-in-capital in the first quarter of 2006.
Note 9. Subsequent Event
In June 2006, William Meyer resigned as the Companys
Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr. Meyer had held since April 2003. The Companys Chief Executive Officer
has also served as Chief Financial Officer since Mr. Meyers resignation and will
continue to serve in that capacity until a permanent replacement is hired.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections.
These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as expect, anticipate,
intend, believe, hope, assume, estimate, plan, will and other similar words and
expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those described herein and in the Companys
most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed with the SEC. We undertake
no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or to reflect
events and circumstances after the date of this document.
Overview
BroadVision solutions are designed to help customers increase revenues and reduce costs by moving
interactions and transactions to personalized self-service via the web. Our integrated self-service
application suite including process, commerce, portal and content offers rich functionality out
of the box, and is easily configured for each customers e-business environment.
Over 1,000 customers including U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin, Audible, Netikos, Sears, Circuit
City, Iberia L.A.E. and Vodafone have licensed BroadVision solutions to power and personalize
their mission-critical web initiatives.
Worldwide demand for enterprise software has declined significantly over the past several years.
The decline in venture capital spending has resulted in fewer new companies with funding to, among
other things, build an on-line business. Established companies have scaled back, delayed or
cancelled web-based initiatives. As a result of these
Page 18
reasons and others, in particular the selling challenges created by our deteriorating financial
condition, we have seen significant declines in our revenue over the past five fiscal years.
Our objective is to further our position as a global supplier of web-based, self-service
applications. This will require us to continue to build new functionality into our applications
that offer our customers a compelling value proposition to license our products rather than design
and build custom solutions.
We generate revenue from fees for licenses of our software products, and related maintenance,
consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses of our software
products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number
of CPUs utilized by the machine on which the product is installed. Payment terms are generally 30
days from the date the products are delivered, the maintenance contract is booked or the consulting
services are provided.
From 2001 to date, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. In
fiscal years 2004 and 2005, we incurred significant cash usage related to the termination of excess
real estate obligations, certain reductions in workforce and the execution and subsequent
termination of an acquisition agreement. See further discussion under Background and Recent
Events below. Although we believe that cash flows will be benefited in future periods by a number
of these events, we make no assurance about our ability to generate profits or positive cash flows
in future periods.
We strive to anticipate changes in the demand for our services and aggressively manage our labor
force appropriately. Through our budgeting process, cross-functional management participates in the
planning, reviewing and managing of our business plans. This process is intended to allow us to
adjust our cost structures to changing market needs, competitive landscapes and economic factors.
Our emphasis on cost control helps us manage our margins even if revenues generated fall short of
what we anticipated.
Recent Events
In November 2005, an entity controlled by Dr. Pehong Chen, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, acquired all of our convertible Notes then outstanding. Including interest, the Notes
represented $15.5 million in debt obligations as of December 15, 2005. In order to relieve us from
the liquidity challenges presented by the Notes, Dr. Chen agreed to cancel all amounts owed under
the Notes in exchange for 34,500,000 shares of BroadVision common stock, at an effective price per
share of $0.45, a 25% discount to the December 20, 2005 closing price of BroadVision common stock,
and $180,000 in cash that represented the portion of the accrued interest on the Notes that was not
paid in stock. That exchange was completed in March 2006. The common share issuance, representing
approximately 50% of the post-conversion shares outstanding, increased Dr. Chens ownership
interest in BroadVision to approximately 59% of the total shares outstanding.
In December 2005, we announced our intention to complete a subscription rights offering to existing
stockholders to sell a total of 178 million shares, or 5.9 shares for each share of BroadVision
common stock held as of the record date of December 20, 2005, at effective price per share of
$0.45. The primary purpose of the rights offering is to allow the holders of BroadVision common
stock an opportunity to further invest in BroadVision in order to maintain their proportionate
interest in BroadVision common stock, at the same price per share as the per share price afforded
to Dr. Chen in connection with the Note exchange. Dr. Chen has waived any right to participate in
the rights offering. Under the terms of the offering, each common stockholder as of December 20,
2005 will have the right to purchase approximately 5.9 shares of common stock for each common share
then held. The rights offering will be made only by means of a prospectus, a preliminary copy of
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a registration statement on
February 3, 2006.
In order to complete the issuance of shares to Dr. Chen without violating applicable listing
standards, we delivered to Nasdaq a notification of voluntary delisting of BroadVision common stock
from the Nasdaq National Market effective prior to the opening of trading on March 8, 2006. We had
previously received a notice from Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance with the minimum
bid price rules applicable to stocks traded on Nasdaq, and that we had until March 6, 2006 to
regain compliance. Quotations for BroadVision common stock are currently available through the
Pink Sheets (www.pinksheets.com) under the trading symbol BVSN.
In March 2006, the Company received $1.2 million property tax refund from the County of San Mateo
covering tax years 2000 through 2005. The Company is obligated to compensate an outside tax
specialist $335,000 for its efforts to reach agreement with the County on the Companys behalf.
The net proceeds were accounted in the operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Page 19
In June 2006, William Meyer resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr. Meyer had held
since April 2003. Dr. Chen has served as Chief Financial Officer since Mr. Meyers resignation and
will continue to serve in that capacity until a permanent replacement is hired.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
This managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In preparing these
financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to
doubtful accounts, product returns, investments, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and
restructuring, as well as contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates using
different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect
the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.
At March 31, 2006, the Companys
current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $13.2 million (negative working capital)
resulting in a working capital ratio of approximately 0.66
to 1.0. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current
assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first quarter of 2006 and our internal
financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working
capital requirements through at least the end of 2006 from our existing cash and cash equivalents
and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. Our Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through
December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a
combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to
the carrying values or classification of the assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial
statements to take account of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
As discussed more fully in our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of year 2005
Form 10-K, subsequent to the issuance of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, based on
clarifying SEC guidance issued in 2005, we made a determination that the convertible debentures
entered into in 2004 included an embedded derivative that should be valued under the provisions of
SFAS 133. We had previously determined that convertible debentures were conventional under the
provisions of EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock. Therefore, we have restated our operating results
for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2004, and for the three-month periods ended
March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005.
Revenue Recognition
Overview Our revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance,
consulting services and customer training. We generally charge fees for licenses of our software
products either based on the number of persons registered to use the product or based on the number
of CPUs on the machine on which the product is installed. Licenses for software whereby fees
charged are based upon the number of persons registered to use the product include licenses for
development use and licenses for use in deployment of the customers website. Licenses for software
whereby fees charged are on a per-CPU basis do not differentiate between development and deployment
usage. Our revenue recognition policies comply with the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP)
No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended; SOP No. 98-9, Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions (SOP 98-9) and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition
(SAB 104).
Software License Revenue
We license our products through our direct sales force and indirectly through resellers. In
general, software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been
signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has
been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and
determinable and collection is considered probable. Delivery is
Page 20
considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer,
which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier.
In case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed
programs. For products that cannot be used without a licensing key, the delivery requirement is met
when the licensing key is made available to the customer. If collectibility is not considered
probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Subscription-based license revenues are
recognized ratably over the subscription period. We enter into reseller arrangements that typically
provide for sublicense fees payable to the us based upon a percentage of list price. We do not
grant resellers the right of return.
We recognize revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of SOP No. 97-2, as
amended by SOP No. 98-9. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are
allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as
licenses for software products, maintenance, consulting services or customer training. The
determination of fair value is based on objective evidence, which is specific to us. We limit its
assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price charged when the same element
is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so,
for an element not yet sold separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements
exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized
using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is
deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.
We record unearned revenue for software license agreements when cash has been received from the
customer and the agreement does not qualify for revenue recognition under our revenue recognition
policy. We record accounts receivable for software license agreements when the agreement qualifies
for revenue recognition but cash or other consideration has not been received from the customer.
Services Revenue
Consulting services revenues and customer training revenues are recognized as such services are
performed. Maintenance revenues, which include revenues bundled with software license agreements
that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our
products, are deferred and recognized ratably over the related agreement period, generally twelve
months.
Our consulting services, which consist of consulting, maintenance and training, are delivered
through the BroadVision Global Services (BVGS) organization. Services that we provide are not
essential to the functionality of the software. We record reimbursement from our customers for
out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues.
Allowances and Reserves
Occasionally, our customers experience financial difficulty after we record the revenue but before
we are paid. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. Our normal payment terms are 30 to 90 days
from invoice date. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Impairment Assessments
We adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS 142, we are required to test goodwill for
impairment upon adoption and annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the asset might be impaired. While there was no accounting charge to record upon adoption, we
concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, based on the existence of impairment indicators including a
decline in the market value of our common shares, we would be required to test goodwill for
impairment. SFAS No. 142 provides for a two-step approach to determining whether and by how much
goodwill has been impaired. Since we have only one reporting unit for purposes of applying SFAS No.
142, the first step requires a comparison of the fair value of BroadVision to our net book value.
If the fair value is greater, then no impairment is deemed to have occurred. If the fair value is
less, then the second step must be completed to determine the amount, if any, of actual impairment.
Page 21
Deferred Tax Assets
We analyze our deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. We have established a
valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets to the extent that we determined that it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based upon
the uncertainty of their realization. We have considered any potential loss of net operating loss
(NOL), estimated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in
assessing the amount of the valuation allowance.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006 (the first day of its 2006 fiscal year), the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the
modified prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123R. Under the modified-prospective-transition
method, results for the prior periods have not been restated.
In anticipation of the pending reporting requirements under SFAS 123 (R), the Companys Board of
Directors on November 29, 2005 unanimously approved accelerating the vesting of out-of-the-money,
unvested stock options held by current employees, including executive officers, and Board members.
The acceleration applied only to those options with an exercise price of $1.13 per share or higher.
The closing market price of the Companys common stock on November 28, 2005, the last full trading
day before the date of the acceleration, was $0.72 per share. The following table summarizes the
options for which vesting was accelerated:

The decision to accelerate vesting of these options was made to avoid recognizing compensation cost
in the Companys statements of operations as required under the provisions of SFAS 123 (R), which
was effective as of January 1, 2006.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share Based Payment: An
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95 (FAS 123R), in our first quarter of 2006 we started
to recognize compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees based on: (a)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January
1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with FAS No 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), adjusted for an estimated future forfeiture rate, and (b)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Our assessment of the estimated fair value of the stock options granted is affected by our stock
price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. We utilize the
Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted. Generally, our calculation
of the fair value for options granted under SFAS 123R is similar to the calculation of fair value
under SFAS 123 with the exception of the treatment of forfeitures. The fair value of restricted
stock units granted is based on the grate date price of our common stock.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model also
requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including:
|
|
|
The expected volatility of our common stock price, which we determine based on
historical volatility of our common stock over the expected term of the option; |
|
|
|
|
Expected dividends, which are nil, as we do not currently anticipate issuing dividends; |
|
|
|
|
Expected life of the stock option, which is estimated based on the historical stock
option exercise behavior of our employees; and |
|
|
|
|
Expected forfeitures of stock options, which is estimated based on the historical
turnover of our employees. Prior to adoption of FAS 123R, we recognized forfeitures under
FAS 123 as they occurred. |
Page 22
In the future, we may elect to use different assumptions under the Black-Scholes valuation model or
a different valuation model, which could result in a significantly different impact on our net
income or loss.
Restructuring Charges
Through March 31, 2006, we have approved restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce our
workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and asset impairment charges were taken to
align our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient
organization. Our restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance and benefits
termination costs related to the reduction of our workforce; (ii) lease termination costs and/or
costs associated with permanently vacating our facilities; (iii) other incremental costs incurred
as a direct result of the restructuring plan; and (iv) impairment costs related to certain
long-lived assets abandoned. We account for each of these costs in accordance with SAB 100 .
Severance and Termination Costs . We account for severance and benefits termination costs
as follows:
For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we account
for costs in accordance with EITF 94-3. Accordingly, we record the liability related to these
termination costs when the following conditions have been met: (i) management with the appropriate
level of authority approves a termination plan that commits us to such plan and establishes the
benefits the employees will receive upon termination; (ii) the benefit arrangement is communicated
to the employees in sufficient detail to enable the employees to determine the termination
benefits; (iii) the plan specifically identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their
locations and their job classifications; and (iv) the period of time to implement the plan does not
indicate changes to the plan are likely.
For exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for costs
in accordance with SFAS 146. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit
or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is
incurred.
Excess Facilities Costs . We account for excess facilities costs as follows:
For exit or disposal activities initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002, we
account for lease termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with EITF 88-10, Costs
Associated with Lease Modification or Termination . Accordingly, we recorded the costs associated
with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property had no substantive future use or
benefit to us.
For exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, we account for lease
termination and/or abandonment costs in accordance with SFAS 146, which requires that a liability
for such costs be recognized and measured initially at fair value on the cease use date of the
facility.
Severance and termination costs and excess facilities costs we record under these provisions are
not associated with nor do they benefit continuing activities.
Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to our restructuring efforts are assessments
related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the
restructuring. In determining the charges related to the restructurings to date, the majority of
estimates made by management have related to charges for excess facilities. In determining the
charges for excess facilities, we were required to estimate future sublease income, future net
operating expenses of the facilities, and brokerage commissions, among other expenses. The most
significant of these estimates have related to the timing and extent of future sublease income in
which to reduce our lease obligations. We based our estimates of sublease income, in part, on the
opinions of independent real estate experts, current market conditions and rental rates, an
assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of
negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facility, among other
factors. The Company has recorded the low-end of a range of assumptions modeled for restructuring
charges, in accordance with SFAS 5. Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be required if
actual lease exit costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected. We will review
the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to
our restructuring obligations in current operations based on managements most current estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all debt and equity securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents. Our short-term investments consist of debt and equity securities
that are classified as available-for-sale. Our debt securities are carried at fair value with
related unrealized gains or losses reported as other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Our cash, and cash equivalents, at cost, which approximates fair value, consisted of the following

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial assets that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash
equivalents with two separate financial institutions. We market and sell our products throughout
the world and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We maintain reserves for
potential credit losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, no one customer accounted for
more than 10% of total revenue or accounts receivable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
debt. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts
of its financial instruments approximates fair value, based upon the short maturity of cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and based on the current rates available to it on
similar debt issues.
Foreign Currency
We license our products and maintain significant operations in foreign countries. Fluctuations in
the value of foreign currencies, principally the Euro, relative to the United States dollar have
impacted our operating results in the past and may do so in the future. We expect that
international license, maintenance and consulting revenues will continue to account for a
significant portion of our total revenues in the future. We pay the expenses of our international
operations in local currencies and do not currently engage in hedging transactions with respect to
such obligations.
Equity Investments
Our equity investments consist of investments in public and non-public companies that are accounted
for under the cost method of accounting. Equity investments are accounted for under the cost method
of accounting when we have a minority interest and do not have the ability to exercise significant
influence. These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value
when readily determinable market values exist or at cost when such market values do not exist.
Adjustments to fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income unless the
investments are considered permanently impaired in which case the adjustment is recorded as a
component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Page 24
We had no long-term equity investments in public and non-public companies as of March 31, 2006.
There was not any other than temporary write-down during the three months ended March 31, 2006
related to long-term equity investments.
Legal Matters
Our current estimated range of liability related to pending litigation is based on claims for which
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and we can estimate the amount and range of loss.
We have recorded the minimum estimated liability related to those claims, where there is a range of
loss. As additional information becomes available, we will assess the potential liability related
to its pending litigation and revise our estimates, if necessary. Such revisions in our estimates
of the potential liability could materially impact our results of operations and financial
position. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings.

The Company operates in a competitive industry. There have been declines in both the technology
industry and in general economic conditions since the beginning of 2001. These declines may
continue. Financial comparisons discussed herein may not be indicative of future performance.
Software license revenues decreased 34% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $2.9
million as compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. License revenue in
all areas declined due to the selling challenges created by our deteriorating financial condition.
Services revenues consisting of consulting revenues, customer training revenues and maintenance
revenues decreased 19% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $9.7 million as compared to
$12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in service revenues was
attributable to both lower maintenance and consulting revenues. Maintenance revenues decreased 13%
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $5.9 million as compared to $6.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2005. Maintenance revenue decreased due to a decline in customer licenses
and certain existing customers declining the renewal of annual maintenance services. Consulting
revenues decreased 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $3.8 million as compared to
$5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Consulting revenues decreased as a result
of a decline in our sales of new software license.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of software license revenues includes the costs of product media, duplication, packaging and
other
manufacturing costs, as well as royalties payable to third parties for software that is either
embedded in, or bundled and licensed with, our products. Cost of services consists primarily of
employee-related costs, third-party consultant fees incurred on consulting projects, post-contract
customer support and instructional training services. A summary of our cost of revenues is as
follows (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Cost of (credit for) software licenses increased in absolute dollar terms during the three months
ended March 31, 2006 to $62,000 as compared to $(57,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
This increase was primarily due to the reversal of some royalty costs no longer considered payable
in the quarter ended March 31,2005.
Cost of services decreased $1.8 million in absolute dollar terms during the three months ended
March 31, 2006 to $4.1 million as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005. This decline was attributable to lower consulting headcount in Europe and the Middle East
regions and lower customer support headcount in the Americas, as well as decreased revenue. This
was partially offset by an increase in consulting spending in the Americas.
Gross margin increased to 67% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 64% for the three
months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is a result of the Companys restructuring and cost
control plans.
Operating Expenses and Other Income, net
Operating expenses consists of the following:
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related
benefit costs and consulting fees incurred in association with the development of our products.
Costs incurred for the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred
until such time that technological feasibility, in the form of a working model, is established at
which time such costs are capitalized and recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net
realizable value. The costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of a working model but prior
to general release of the product have not been significant to date, and we have not capitalized
any costs related to the development of software for external use.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related benefit
costs, commissions and other incentive compensation, travel and entertainment and marketing
program-related expenditures such as collateral materials, trade shows, public relations,
advertising, and creative services.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, employee-related
benefit costs, provisions and credits related to uncollectible accounts receivable and professional
service fees.
Restructuring charges represent costs incurred to restructure company operations.
These charges, including charges for excess facilities, severance and certain non-cash items, were
recorded under the provisions of EITF 94-3, and SFAS 146.
A summary of operating expenses is set forth in the following table. The percentage of expenses is

Research and development expenses decreased 39% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to
$2.7 million as compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in
research and development expenses was primarily attributable to reduced headcount as a result of
layoffs, natural attrition and lower overhead allocations. The Company conducted layoffs to focus
on its core technologies.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 59% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $2.4
million as compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease was
primarily attributable to reduction in the sales organization combined with lower commissions on
lower license revenue.
General and administrative expenses decreased 31% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to
$1.7 million as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease
was primarily attributable to layoffs, natural attrition and function consolidations.
Interest income (expense), net was income of $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as
compared to expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Interest expense
decreased in the first quarter of 2006 due to the exchange of convertible notes to common stock
(see Note 3).
(Loss) gain on revaluation of warrants and change in value of derivatives was a loss of $370,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to a gain of $8.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily that the Company entered an agreement in
December 2005 to cancel outstanding convertible notes in exchange for shares of common stock;
therefore, there was no amortization associated with the convertible notes.
Other income, net, was $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $598,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The income in the three months ended March 31, 2005 was
primarily due to recognition of gains on the disposition of equity investments.
(Provision) benefit for income taxes, was a provision of $156,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2006. The expenses related to Alternative Minimum Taxes (AMT) calculated at both Federal and
state levels after net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards have been applied. For the three months
ended March 31, 2005, we recorded a tax benefit of $2.0 million related to the reversal of certain
income tax accruals determined during the first quarter to be no longer required.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Background and Overview
At March 31, 2006, the Companys current
liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $13.2 million (negative working capital) resulting in a working capital ratio of approximately 0.66
to 1.0. Based on our current liquidity position, our analysis of the components of our current
assets and liabilities, our actual financial results for the first quarter of 2006 and our internal
financial forecast for the balance of the year, we currently expect to be able to fund our working
capital requirements through at least the end of 2006 from our existing cash and cash equivalents
and our anticipated cash flows from operations and subleases. Our Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and majority stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any time through
December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt guarantees or a
combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to
the carrying values or classification of the assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial
statements to take account of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our capital requirements relate primarily to
facilities, employee infrastructure and working
capital needs. Historically, the Company has funded its cash requirements primarily through public
and private sales of equity and debt securities, and commercial credit facilities. As of March 31,
2006, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and investments totaled $10.6 million, which
represents an increase of $5.8 million as compared to a balance of $4.8 million on December 31,
2005. This increase was primarily attributable to net cash generated from operations during
the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Commitments totaling $2.0 million in the form of standby letters of credit were issued on our
behalf from financial institutions as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively,
primarily in favor of our various landlords to secure obligations under our facility leases.
Accordingly, $1.8 million and $2.0 million have been presented as restricted cash in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment
portfolio. We had no derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards and the amount of
credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited. Our interest rate risk
related to borrowings historically has been minimal as interest expense related to adjustable rate
borrowings has been immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Cash Provided By (Used For) Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The primary reason for the net cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million of unearned
revenue and deferred maintenance revenue received in the quarter as a result of our receipt of
customer payments prior to the time we have performed all material obligations to be performed by
us as under the applicable agreement and the Company received payment of $5.0 million from one
customer. Other significant adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating
activities included net increases in accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payable
aggregating approximately $1.4 million.
Cash used for operating activities was $25.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The
primary reason for the net cash used by operating activities was due to the payment of accrued
liabilities related to restructuring of $20.9 million, offset by net income of $7.4 million. Other
significant adjustments to reconcile net income to cash used for operating activities included the
non-cash gain on sale of cost method investments of $1.2 million, the non-cash release of income
tax reserves of $2.0 million, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.3 million,
and the gain on revaluation of warrants to fair value of $8.0 million.
Cash Provided By (Used For) Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $21,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 and was due
to purchase of property and equipment. Cash provided by investing activities was $20.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and was primarily due to transfers from restricted cash of
$19.1 million and proceeds from dividends of $1.1 million. Our capital
expenditures consisted of purchases of operating resources to manage our operations and consisted
primarily of computer hardware and software.
Cash (Used For) Provided By Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $112,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2006, mainly as
a result paying down bank term debt. Cash provided by financing activities was $120,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2005, consisting mainly of $370,000 in proceeds from the issuance of
common stock to offset net payment to convertible notes of $250,000.
Leases and Other Contractual Obligations
We lease our headquarters facility and our other facilities under non-cancelable operating lease
agreements expiring
through the year 2012. Under the terms of the agreements, we are required to pay lease costs,
property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

See Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about additional
bank borrowings.
Restricted cash represents collateral for letters of credit, all of which are due to mature within
one year.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment
portfolio. We had no derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
We place our investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards and the amount of
credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument is limited. Our interest rate risk
related to borrowings historically has been minimal as interest expense related to adjustable rate
borrowings has been immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2006. Based on this evaluation, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, our
disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating
to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities particularly during the period
in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms.
In June 2006, William Meyer resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, a position Mr. Meyer had held
since April 2003. Our Chief Executive Officer has also served as Chief Financial Officer since Mr.
Meyers resignation and will continue to serve in that capacity until a permanent replacement is
hired.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. In addition, the
design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events and the application of judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control
systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals
under all potential future conditions.
Page 29
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-
15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. In the process of preparing this report, the Company recorded several significant
journal entries, which indicates that we continue to face significant internal control issues.
In the second quarter of 2006, the Company hired key finance and accounting personnel, including
Vice President of Finance, Corporate Controller, Revenue Manager, and a senior accountant. All of
these new hires had extensive general ledger, reconciliation, and financial reporting experience.
In July 2006, the Company hired another senior accountant with extensive general ledger,
reconciliation and financial reporting experience. The Company believes these staff additions have
significantly improved the companys financial control and reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject from time to time to various other claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the Company has adequate defenses for each of the claims and actions, and believes that their
ultimate disposition is not expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations. Although management currently believes that the outcome of other
outstanding legal proceedings, claims and litigation involving us will not have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, litigation is inherently
uncertain, and there can be no assurance that existing or future litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. The company
is not presently a party to any legal proceeding.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks
and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair
our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be
harmed. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
We have a history of losses and our future profitability on a quarterly or annual basis is
uncertain, which could have a harmful effect on our business and the value of BroadVision common
stock.
Since 2000, we have incurred substantial net operating losses and have not achieved positive
cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$1.2 billion.
Given our planned operating and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future we expect our
results of operations to fluctuate, and during this period we may incur losses and/or negative cash
flows. If our revenue does not increase or if we fail to maintain our expenses at an amount less
than our projected revenue, we will not be able to achieve or sustain operating profitability on a
consistent basis, if at all. We are continuing efforts to reduce and control our expense structure.
We believe strict cost containment and expense reductions are essential to achieving positive cash
flow and profitability. A number of factors could preclude us from successfully bringing costs and
expenses in line with our revenues, including unplanned uses of cash, the inability to accurately
forecast business activities and further deterioration of our revenues. If we are not able to
effectively reduce our costs and achieve an expense structure commensurate with our business
activities and revenues, we may have inadequate levels of cash for operations or for capital
requirements, which could significantly harm our ability to operate our business.
Our failure to operate profitably or control negative cash flows on a quarterly or annual
basis could harm our business and the value of BroadVision common stock. If the negative cash flow
continues, our liquidity and ability to operate our business would be severely and adversely
impacted. Additionally, our ability to raise financial capital may be hindered due to our
operational losses and negative cash flows, reducing our operating flexibility.
We face liquidity challenges and may need additional near-term financing.
We face liquidity
challenges. We currently expect to be able to fund our working capital
requirements from our existing cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from
operations and subleases. However, we could experience unforeseen circumstances, such as an
economic downturn, difficulties in retaining customers and/or key employees due going concern
issues, or other factors that could increase our use of available cash and
Page 30
require us to seek additional financing. We may find it necessary to obtain additional equity
or debt financing due to the factors listed above or in order to support a more rapid expansion,
develop new or enhanced products or services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire
complementary businesses or technologies or respond to unanticipated requirements. Our Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder has committed to provide, upon our request at any
time through December 31, 2006, up to $5 million of working capital support through cash, debt
guarantees or a combination thereof on mutually satisfactory terms. However, we currently do not
have any bank loan agreement or other similar financing arrangement in place that would entitle us
to borrow additional funds, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate
sufficient cash from ongoing operations, the pending rights offering or from any other source in
order to fund our future working capital requirements.
We may seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities, strategic
relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. If additional funds
are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders
will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or any equity securities we sell
may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. We
expect that obtaining additional financing on acceptable terms would be difficult, at best. If
adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to pay
our debts as they become due, develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or
respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and future operating results.
Our management identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and restated our historical operating results, and we
cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not be discovered or additional
restatements will not be made in the future.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2005, and this assessment identified one material weakness. Further, we restated
our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2004, due to the subsequent determination
that an embedded derivative existed in our convertible notes that should have been separately
accounted for as a liability.
As of March 31, 2006, we did not have a sufficient number of experienced personnel in our
accounting and finance organization to facilitate an efficient financial statement close process
and permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. For example, there were a significant number of adjustments to our financial
statements during the course of the 2005 audit, at least one of which was individually material and
required us to make the restatement described above. We also recorded several material journal
entries in the first quarter of 2006. Our personnel also lacked certain required skills and
competencies to oversee the accounting operations and perform certain important control functions,
such as the review, periodic inspection and investigation of transactions of our foreign locations.
We consider this to be a deficiency that is also a material weakness in the operation of
entity-level controls. If we are not successful in remedying the deficiencies that caused this
material weakness, there is more than a remote likelihood that our quarterly or annual financial
statements could be materially misstated, which could require a restatement.
As our future staffing is dependent upon filling the open position and retaining existing
employees, we are currently unable to determine when this material weakness will be fully
remediated. The market for skilled accounting personnel is competitive and we may have difficulty
in retaining our staff due to (1) our efforts to restructure our operations by reducing our
workforce and other cost containment activities and (2) the uncertainty created by the recent
execution and subsequent termination of our merger agreement with an affiliate of Vector Capital
Corporation. Our inability to staff the department with competent personnel with sufficient
training may affect our internal controls over financial reporting to the extent that we may not be
able to prevent or detect material misstatements. Inferior internal control could also cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative
effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Our business currently depends on revenue related to our BroadVision Self-Service Suite, and if the
market does not increasingly accept this product and related products and services, our revenue may
continue to decline.
We generate our revenue from licenses of the BroadVision Self-Service Suite, including
process, commerce, portal and content management and related products and services. We expect that
these products, and future upgraded versions, will continue to account for a large portion of our
revenue in the foreseeable future. Our future financial performance will depend on increasing
acceptance of our current product and on the successful
Page 31
development, introduction and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our
products. If new and future versions and updates of our products and services do not gain market
acceptance when released commercially, or if we fail to deliver the product enhancements and
complementary third party products that customers want, demand for our products and services, and
our revenue, may decline.
If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in online commerce and
communication, our products and services may fail to be competitive.
Our products and services may fail to be competitive if we do not maintain or exceed the pace
of technological developments in Internet commerce and communication. Failure to be competitive
could cause our revenue to decline. The information services, software and communications
industries are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements,
frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards and
practices. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence
of new industry standards and practices can render existing products and services obsolete. Our
future success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
|
|
|
develop leading technologies; |
|
|
|
|
enhance our existing products and services; |
|
|
|
|
develop new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated
and varied needs of our prospective customers; and |
|
|
|
|
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices
on a timely and cost-effective basis. |
Our sales and product implementation cycles are lengthy and subject to delay, which make it
difficult to predict our quarterly results.
Our sales and product implementation cycles generally span months. Delays in customer orders
or product implementations, which are difficult to predict, can affect the timing of revenue
recognition and adversely affect our quarterly operating results. Licensing our products is often
an enterprise-wide decision by prospective customers. The importance of this decision requires that
we engage in a lengthy sales cycle with prospective customers. A successful sales cycle may last up
to nine months or longer. Our sales cycle is also affected by a number of other factors, some of
which we have little or no control over, including the volatility of the overall software market,
the business condition and purchasing cycle of each prospective customer, and the performance of
our technology partners, systems integrators and resellers. The implementation of our products can
also be time and resource intensive, and subject to unexpected delays. Delays in either product
sales or implementations could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to
quarter.
Because our quarterly operating results are volatile and difficult to predict, our quarterly
operating results in one or future periods are likely to fluctuate significantly, which could cause
our stock price to decline if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors.
Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to
continue to vary significantly in the future. For example, in the quarters ended March 31, 2005,
June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, our revenues declined 22%, 23% and 18%, respectively, as
compared to the previous fiscal year quarters. In the quarters ended June 30, 2004, September 30,
2004 and December 31, 2004, our revenues declined 8%, 7% and 15%, respectively, as compared to the
same quarterly periods in the prior fiscal year. Our revenue decreased again in the quarter ended
March 31, 2006. If our revenues, operating results, earnings or future projections are below the
levels expected of securities analysts or investors, our stock price is likely to decline.
We expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations due
to a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:
|
|
|
introduction of products and services and enhancements by us and our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
competitive factors that affect our pricing; |
|
|
|
|
market acceptance of new products; |
|
|
|
|
the mix of products sold by us; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our pricing policies or our competitors; |
Page 32
|
|
|
changes in our sales incentive plans; |
|
|
|
|
the budgeting cycles of our customers; |
|
|
|
|
customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products or enhancements by us or our
competitors or because of macro-economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
nonrenewal of our maintenance agreements, which generally automatically renew for
one-year terms unless earlier terminated by either party upon 90-days notice; |
|
|
|
|
product life cycles; |
|
|
|
|
changes in strategy; |
|
|
|
|
seasonal trends; |
|
|
|
|
the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold; |
|
|
|
|
the mix of international and domestic sales; |
|
|
|
|
the rate at which new sales people become productive; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the level of operating expenses to support projected growth; |
|
|
|
|
increase in the amount of third party products and services that we use in our products
or resell with royalties attached; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in the recorded value of outstanding common stock warrants that will be
based upon changes to the underlying market value of BroadVision common stock; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of receipt and fulfillment of significant orders; and |
|
|
|
|
costs associated with litigation, regulatory compliance and other corporate events such
as operational reorganizations. |
As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue
and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that these comparisons are not accurate
indicators of future performance. Because our staffing and operating expenses are based on
anticipated revenue levels, and because a high percentage of our costs are fixed, small variations
in the timing of the recognition of specific revenue could cause significant variations in
operating results from quarter to quarter. If we are unable to adjust spending in a timely manner
to compensate for any revenue shortfall, any significant revenue shortfall would likely have an
immediate negative effect on our operating results. If our operating results in one or more future
quarters fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, we would expect to
experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.
Because a significant portion of our sales activity occurs at the end of each fiscal quarter,
delays in a relatively small number of license transactions could adversely affect our quarterly
operating results.
A significant proportion, generally over 40%, of our sales are concentrated in the last month
of each fiscal quarter. Gross margins are high for our license transactions. Customers and
prospective customers may use these conditions in an attempt to obtain more favorable terms. While
we endeavor to avoid making concessions that could result in lower margins, the negotiations often
result in delays in closing license transactions. Small delays in a relatively small number of
license transactions could have a significant impact on our reported operating results for that
quarter.
We have substantially modified our business and operations and will need to manage and support
these changes effectively in order for our business plan to succeed.
We substantially expanded then contracted our business and operations since our inception in
1993. We grew from 652 employees at the end of 1999 to 2,412 employees at the end of 2000 and then
reduced our numbers to 1,102 at the end of 2001, 449 at the end of 2002, 367 at the end of 2003 and
337 at the end of 2004. On June 29, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a business restructuring
plan, which included a reduction in headcount by an additional 63 employees. On March 31, 2006, we
had approximately 160 employees. As a consequence of our employee base growing and then contracting
so rapidly, we entered into significant contracts for facilities space for which we ultimately
determined we did not have a future use. We announced during the third and fourth quarters of 2004
that we had agreed with the landlords of various facilities to renegotiate future lease
commitments, extinguishing a total of approximately $155 million of future obligations. The
management of the expansion and later reduction of our operations has taken a considerable amount
of our managements attention during the past several years. As we manage our business to introduce
and support new products, we will need to continue to
Page 33
monitor our workforce and make appropriate changes as necessary. If we are unable to support
past and implement future changes effectively, we may have to divert additional resources away from
executing our business plan and toward internal administration. If our expenses significantly
outpace our revenues, we may have to make additional changes to our management systems and our
business plan may not succeed.
Modifications to our business and operations may not result in a reduced cost structure as
anticipated and may otherwise adversely impact our productivity.
Since 2000, we have substantially modified our business and operations in order to reduce our
cost structure. These modifications included closing facilities, reducing liability for idle lease
space and reducing our employee headcount, while maintaining sales efforts and providing continuing
customer support by reallocating the workload among continuing employees. We may not realize
anticipated reductions in our cost structure, which will delay or prevent us from achieving
sustained profitability. In addition, these modifications may result in lower revenues as a result
of the decreased headcount in our sales and marketing and professional services groups, or other
adverse impacts on productivity that we did not anticipate.
We are dependent on direct sales personnel and third-party distribution channels to achieve revenue
growth.
To date, we have sold our products primarily through our direct sales force. Our ability to
achieve significant revenue growth in the future largely will depend on our success in recruiting,
training and retaining sufficient direct sales personnel and establishing and maintaining
relationships with distributors, resellers and systems integrators. Our products and services
require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective
customers. New hires as well as employees of our distributors, resellers and systems integrators
require training and take time to achieve full productivity. Our recent hires may not become as
productive as necessary, and we may be unable to hire and retain sufficient numbers of qualified
individuals in the future. We have entered into strategic alliance agreements with partners, under
which partners have agreed to resell and support our current BroadVision product suite. These
contracts are generally terminable by either party upon 30 days notice of an uncured material
breach or for convenience upon 90 days notice prior to the end of any annual term. Termination of
any of these alliances could harm our expected revenues. We may be unable to expand our other
distribution channels, and any expansion may not result in revenue increases. If we fail to
maintain and expand our direct sales force or other distribution channels, our revenues may not
grow or they may decline. Revenue generated from third-party distributors in recent years has not
been significant.
Failure to maintain relationships with third-party systems integrators could harm our ability to
achieve our business plan.
Our relationships with third-party systems integrators who deploy our products have been a key
factor in our overall business strategy, particularly because many of our current and prospective
customers rely on integrators to develop, deploy and manage their online marketplaces. Our efforts
to manage our relationships with systems integrators may not succeed, which could harm our ability
to achieve our business plan due to a variety of factors, including:
|
|
|
Systems integrators may not view their relationships with us as valuable to their own
businesses. The related arrangements typically may be terminated by either party with
limited notice and in some cases are not covered by a formal agreement. |
|
|
|
|
Under our business model, we often rely on our system integrators employees to perform
implementations. If we fail to work together effectively, or if these parties perform
poorly, our reputation may be harmed and deployment of our products may be delayed or
inadequate. |
|
|
|
|
Systems integrators may attempt to market their own products and services rather than
ours. |
|
|
|
|
Our competitors may have stronger relationships with our systems integrators than us
and, as a result, these integrators may recommend a competitors products and services over
ours. |
|
|
|
|
If we lose our relationships with our systems integrators, we will not have the
personnel necessary to deploy our products effectively, and we will need to commit
significant additional sales and marketing resources in an effort to reach the markets and
customers served by these parties. |
Page 34
We may be unable to manage or grow our international operations and assets, which could impair our
overall growth or financial position.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our operations outside North America. In
the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, approximately 43% of our revenues were derived from
international sales. In the quarter ended March 31, 2006, approximately 21% of our revenue was
derived from European and Asia/Pacific sales. If we are unable to manage or grow our existing
international operations, we may not generate sufficient revenue required to establish and maintain
these operations, which could slow our overall growth and impair our operating margins.
As we rely heavily on our operations outside of North America, we are subject to significant
risks of doing business internationally, including:
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and safeguarding foreign assets; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
|
export controls relating to encryption technology and other export restrictions; |
|
|
|
|
tariffs and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
|
|
|
|
political and economic instability; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; |
|
|
|
|
cultural barriers; |
|
|
|
|
seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and
certain other parts of the world; and |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences. |
Management of international operations presents special challenges, particularly at our
reduced staffing levels. For example, in December 2005, an inappropriate transfer of approximately
$60,000 was made from our bank account in Japan to a consulting services provider affiliated with
two officers of our Japan subsidiary without the approvals required under our internal control
policies. Although this transfer was later detected, the funds were recaptured and the services of
the Japan subsidiary officers involved were terminated, we face the risk that other similar
misappropriations of assets may occur in the future.
In addition, our international sales growth will be limited if we are unable to establish
additional foreign operations, expand international sales channel management and support, hire
additional personnel, customize products for local markets and develop relationships with
international service providers, distributors and system integrators. Even if we are able to
successfully expand our international operations, we may not succeed in maintaining or expanding
international market demand for our products.
Current and potential competitors could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers
now and in the future.
The market for our products is intensely competitive. We expect competition in this market to
persist and increase in the future. If we fail to compete successfully with current or future
competitors, we may be unable to attract and retain customers. Increased competition could also
result in price reductions for our products and lower profit margins and reduced market share, any
of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources, greater name recognition, a broader range of products and a larger installed customer
base, any of which could provide them with a significant competitive advantage. In addition, new
competitors, or alliances among existing and future competitors, may emerge and rapidly gain
significant market share. Some of our competitors, particularly established software vendors, may
also be able to provide customers with products and services comparable to ours at lower or at
aggressively reduced prices in an effort to increase market share or as part of a broader software
package they are selling to a customer. We may be unable to match competitors prices or price
reductions, and we may fail to win customers that choose to purchase an information technology
solution as part of a broader software and services package. As a result, we may be unable to
compete successfully with current or new competitors.
Page 35
Our success and competitive position will depend on our ability to protect our proprietary
technology.
Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary
technology. We hold a U.S. patent, issued in January 1998, on elements of the BroadVision platform,
which covers electronic commerce operations common in todays web business. We also hold a U.S.
patent, issued in November 1996, acquired as part of the Interleaf acquisition on the elements of
the extensible electronic document processing system for creating new classes of active documents.
Although we hold these patents, they may not provide an adequate level of intellectual property
protection. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual
property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others. It is also possible that third parties may claim we have infringed
their patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights. Claims may be made for
indemnification resulting from allegations of infringement. Intellectual property infringement
claims may be asserted against us as a result of the use by third parties of our products. Claims
or litigation, with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversions of
resources, either of which could harm our business.
We also rely on copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret laws and contractual
restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We have registered
BroadVision, iGuide, BroadVision Self-Service Suite, BroadVision Process, BroadVision
Commerce, BroadVision Portal, BroadVision Content and Interleaf as trademarks in the United
States and in other countries. It is possible that our competitors or other companies will adopt
product names similar to these trademarks, impeding our ability to build brand identity and
possibly confusing customers.
As a matter of company policy, we enter into confidentiality and assignment agreements with
our employees, consultants and vendors. We also control access to and distribution of our software,
documents and other proprietary information. Notwithstanding these precautions, it may be possible
for an unauthorized third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our software or other
proprietary information or to develop similar software independently. Policing unauthorized use of
our products will be difficult, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it
difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software and other transmitted data.
The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual
property.
A breach of the encryption technology that we use could expose us to liability and harm our
reputation, causing a loss of customers.
If any breach of the security technology embedded in our products were to occur, we would be
exposed to liability and our reputation could be harmed, which could cause us to lose customers. A
significant barrier to online commerce and communication is the secure exchange of valuable and
confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology,
including Open SSL and public key cryptography technology featuring the major encryption algorithms
RC2 and MDS, to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect the secure exchange of
confidential information. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of
cryptography or other events or developments could cause a breach of the RSA or other algorithms
that we use to protect customer transaction data.
The loss or malfunction of technology licensed from third parties could delay the introduction of
our products and services.
We rely in part on technology that we license from third parties, including relational
database management systems from Oracle and Sybase, Informix object request broker software from
IONA Technologies PLC, and database access technology from Rogue Wave Software. The loss or
malfunction of any of these technology licenses could harm our business. We integrate or sublicense
this technology with internally developed software to perform key functions. For example, our
products and services incorporate data encryption and authentication technology licensed from Open
SSL. Third-party technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, the licensed technology may contain defects that we cannot
control. Problems with our technology licenses could cause delays in introducing our products or
services until equivalent technology, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. Delays
in introducing our products and services could adversely affect our results of operations.
Page 36
Our executive officers, key employees and highly skilled technical and managerial personnel are
critical to our business, and they may not remain with us in the future.
Our performance
substantially depends on the performance of our executive officers and key
employees. We also rely on our ability to retain and motivate qualified personnel, especially our
management and highly skilled development teams. The loss of the services of any of our executive
officers or key employees, particularly our founder, Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer,
Dr. Pehong Chen,
could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and divert senior management resources in
searching for replacements. The loss of their services also could harm our reputation if our
customers were to become concerned about our future operations. We do not carry key person life
insurance policies on any of our employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing
ability to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in the Internet industry. We have
in the past experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining
sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees. The significant downturn in our business and the
uncertainty created by the recent execution and subsequent termination of our merger agreement with
an affiliate of Vector has had and may continue to have a negative impact on our operations. We
have restructured our operations by reducing our workforce and implementing other cost containment
activities. These actions could lead to disruptions in our business, reduced employee morale and
productivity, increased attrition, and problems with retaining existing and recruiting future
employees.
Limitations on the online collection of profile information could impair the effectiveness of our
products.
Online users resistance to providing personal data, and laws and regulations prohibiting use
of personal data gathered online without express consent or requiring businesses to notify their
web site visitors of the possible dissemination of their personal data, could limit the
effectiveness of our products. This in turn could adversely affect our sales and results of
operations.
One of the principal features of our products is the ability to develop and maintain profiles
of online users to assist business managers in determining the nature of the content to be provided
to these online users. Typically, profile information is captured when consumers, business
customers and employees visit a web site and volunteer information in response to survey questions
concerning their backgrounds, interests and preferences. Profiles can be augmented over time
through the subsequent collection of usage data. Although our products are designed to enable the
development of applications that permit web site visitors to prevent the distribution of any of
their personal data beyond that specific web site, privacy concerns may nevertheless cause visitors
to resist providing the personal data necessary to support this profiling capability. The mere
perception by prospective customers that substantial security and privacy concerns exist among
online users, whether or not valid, may indirectly inhibit market acceptance of our products.
In addition, new laws and regulations could heighten privacy concerns by requiring businesses
to notify web site users that the data captured from them while online may be used by marketing
entities to direct product messages to them. We are subject to increasing regulation at the federal
and state levels relating to online privacy and the use of personal user information. Several
states have proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user information gathered
online or require online services to establish privacy policies. In addition, the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission, or FTC, has urged Congress to adopt legislation regarding the collection and use
of personal identifying information obtained from individuals when accessing web sites. The FTC has
settled several proceedings resulting in consent decrees in which Internet companies have been
required to establish programs regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from
users and provided to third parties. We could become a party to a similar enforcement proceeding.
These regulatory and enforcement efforts could also harm our customers ability to collect
demographic and personal information from users, which could impair the effectiveness of our
products.
We may not have adequate back-up systems, and natural or manmade disasters could damage our
operations, reduce our revenue and lead to a loss of customers.
We do not have fully redundant systems for service at an alternate site. A disaster could
severely harm our business because our service could be interrupted for an indeterminate length of
time. Our operations depend upon our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems at our
facility in Redwood City, California, which reside on or near known earthquake fault zones.
Although these systems are designed to be fault tolerant, they are vulnerable to damage from fire,
floods, earthquakes, power loss, acts of terrorism, telecommunications failures and similar events.
In addition, our facilities in California could be subject to electrical blackouts if California
faces another power shortage similar to that of 2001. Although we do have a backup generator that
would maintain critical operations, this generator could fail. We also have significantly reduced
our workforce in a short period of time, which has placed different requirements on our systems and
has caused us to lose personnel knowledgeable about
Page 37
our systems, both of which could make it more difficult to quickly resolve system disruptions.
Disruptions in our internal business operations could harm our business by resulting in delays,
disruption of our customers business, loss of data, and loss of customer confidence.
Risks related to BroadVision common stock
Our stock price has been highly volatile.
The trading price of BroadVision common stock has been highly volatile. For example, the
trading price of BroadVision common stock has ranged from $0.32 per share to $9.05 per share
between January 1, 2004 and August 1, 2006. On August 1, 2006 the closing price of BroadVision
common stock was $0.48 per share. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to a
variety of factors, including:
|
|
|
quarterly variations in operating results; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of new software or services by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; |
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions; or |
|
|
|
|
other events or factors that are beyond our control. |
In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that
have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many technology companies.
These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of
these companies. Any negative change in the publics perception of the prospects of Internet or
electronic commerce companies could further depress our stock price regardless of our results.
Other broad market fluctuations may decrease the trading price of BroadVision common stock. In the
past, following declines in the market price of a companys securities, securities class action
litigation, such as the class action lawsuits filed against us and certain of our officers and
directors in early 2001, has often been instituted against that company. Litigation could result in
substantial costs and a diversion of managements attention and resources.
