PART I

Item 1. Business

     We are a leading global provider of technology-based solutions to improve the effectiveness of and the efficiencies within and across the supply chain. Our solutions, which consist of software, services and hardware, enhance distribution and transportation efficiencies through the real-time integration of supply chain constituents, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, suppliers, transportation providers and consumers. Our software consists of five key solution groups within supply chain execution (“SCE”) systems: warehouse management, transportation management, trading partner management, distributed order management and reverse logistics management. In addition, we provide additional solutions that support or enhance the functionality of our five key solutions, such as performance management and Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”). We refer to the combination of our solutions as Integrated Logistics Solutions™. Warehouse management solutions include the performance of the many processes that take place in the warehouse and distribution center, beginning with the placement of an order by a customer and ending with the order fulfillment process. Transportation management solutions include functionality that allows a company to optimally procure, plan and execute transportation services, including the delivery of the order to the end customer. Trading partner management solutions provide real-time synchronization of key processes and their associated information flows across the supply chain, including customer process synchronization, supplier process management, global inventory visibility and supply chain event management. Distributed order management solutions manage the order fulfillment lifecycle across the supply chain to coordinate the movement of goods, orchestrate the re-supply of products and consider global inventory for optimal fulfillment. Reverse logistics management solutions manage and automate the returns process, tracking, storing, referencing and reporting on returned merchandise to increase net asset recovery. Performance management solutions use analytic tools and alerting processes that allow distribution center managers to monitor events within the supply chain cycle, analyze historical data and generate reports. Our RFID in a Box® solution provides an integration and reporting platform between RFID readers and SCE and Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) systems for electronic product code (“EPC”) compliance. We also provide services, including design, configuration, implementation, product assessments and training services, plus customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions.

     We currently provide our solutions to manufacturers, distributors, retailers and transportation providers primarily in the following markets: retail, consumer goods, food and grocery, logistics service providers, industrial and wholesale, high technology and electronics, life sciences and government.

Industry Background

     Modern companies face increased globalization, outsourcing, channel convergence and regulatory and security requirements. In addition, technological innovations, such as RFID, rising logistics costs, increasing competition and smaller margins are causing companies to closely examine their supply chain operations. These companies have realized that, if executed properly, the supply chain can be a major competitive differentiator.

     The traditional push methodology, where companies would dictate customers’ options, has given way to a more customer demand-driven, pull methodology. The result has been an increased need for communication with trading partners and a closer examination of business process and systems. Unlike in the past, when companies were looking to simply establish supply chain systems, they are now looking to maximize their investments across the supply chain. In doing so, they are seeking to solve specific operational pain points with solutions that can scale as their business grows and integrate with other systems, such as their ERP, material handling equipment or other solutions. In addition, companies are increasingly seeking to reduce the number of vendors they work with and increase overall integration without compromising quality or performance.

Manhattan Associates’ Solution

     Our solutions are modular and employ leading database technology to address a full range of requirements of modern, complex distribution centers, transportation networks and the overall supply chain, including warehouse management, transportation management, trading partner management, distributed order management, reverse logistics management, RFID and performance management. Our warehouse management solutions include the performance of the many processes that take place in the warehouse and distribution center, beginning with the execution of an order by a customer and ending with the fulfillment and delivery of the order to the end customer. Our transportation management solutions include functionality that allows a company to optimally procure, plan and execute transportation services. Our trading partner management solutions provide real-time synchronization of key processes and their associated information flows across the extended supply chain, including customer process synchronization, supplier process management, global inventory visibility and, supply chain event management, and includes real-time monitoring and alerting. Distributed order management solutions manage the order fulfillment lifecycle across the supply chain to coordinate the movement of goods, orchestrate the re-supply of products and consider global inventory for optimal fulfillment. Reverse logistics management solutions manage and automate the returns process, tracking, storing, referencing and reporting on returned merchandise to increase net asset recovery. In addition to these solutions, we also provide performance management and RFID solutions that enhance the functionality of our other key solutions. Performance management solutions use analytic tools, which allow distribution center managers to monitor events within the supply chain cycle, analyze historical data and generate reports. Our RFID in a Box® solution provides an integration and reporting platform between RFID readers and SCE and ERP systems for EPC compliance. Our solutions, together with our professional services capabilities, enable our customers to optimize their supply chain effectiveness and efficiencies by:

  •   reducing inventory levels and increasing inventory turnover;
 
  •   improving inventory and order accuracy;
 
  •   improving compliance with customer requirements, including the RFID/EPC compliance requirements;
 
  •   facilitating the requirements of multi-channel fulfillment, including complying with industry shipping standards, unique pallet configuration and customer-specific personalization, labeling and packaging;
 
  •   improving visibility of inventory, order status and delivery status;

We aim to achieve this objective by delivering warehouse management, transportation management, trading partner management, distributed order management, reverse logistics, performance management and RFID solutions that help global manufacturers, retailers and transportation providers successfully manage the growing demands, complexity and volatility of their local and global supply chains. Our solutions are advanced, highly functional, highly scaleable and allow our customers to improve relationships with suppliers, customers and transportation providers, leverage their investments across the supply chain, effectively manage transportation costs and meet dynamically changing customer requirements. Our strategies to accomplish our objective include the following:

     Develop and Enhance Software Solutions. We intend to continue to focus our product development resources on the development and enhancement of our software solutions. We offer what we believe to be the broadest solution set in the SCE marketplace, founded upon software solutions, as described herein, to address all aspects of warehouse management, transportation management, trading partner management, distributed order management, reverse logistics, performance management and RFID. In order to provide additional functionality and value to our solutions, we plan to continue to provide enhancements to existing solutions and to introduce new solutions to address evolving industry standards and market needs. We identify further enhancements to our solutions and opportunities for new solutions through our customer support organization as well as ongoing customer consulting engagements and implementations, interactions with our user groups and participation in industry standards and research committees.

In addition to offices in Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom, we have also established reseller partnerships in Latin America. Our international strategy includes leveraging the strength of our relationships with current customers that also have significant overseas operations and the pursuit of strategic marketing partnerships with international systems integrators and third-party software application providers.

     Expand Our Strategic Alliances and Indirect Sales Channels. We currently sell our products primarily through our direct sales personnel. We have worked on joint projects and joint sales initiatives with industry-leading consultants and software systems implementers, including most of the large consulting firms and other systems consulting firms specializing in our targeted industries, to supplement our direct sales force and professional services organization. We have been expanding our indirect sales channels through reseller agreements, marketing agreements and agreements with third-party logistics providers. These alliances extend our market coverage and provide us with new business leads and access to trained implementation personnel. We have strategic alliances with complementary software providers, third party integrators/consultants and hardware vendors including Alien Technology, JDA Software, Lawson, Microsoft, Symbol Technologies, FKI Logistix, Siemens Logistics and Assembly Systems and Intentia.

     Acquire or Invest in Complementary Businesses. We intend to pursue strategic acquisitions of technologies, solutions and businesses that enable us to enhance and expand our SCE solutions and service offerings. More specifically, we intend to pursue acquisitions that will provide us with complementary solutions and technologies, expand our geographic presence and distribution channels, extend our presence into other vertical markets with similar challenges and requirements of those we currently meet and/or further solidify our leadership position within

     Professional Services. Our professional services provide our customers with expertise and assistance in planning and implementing our solutions. To ensure a successful product implementation, consultants assist customers with the initial installation of a system, the conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data onto our system, and ongoing training, education and system upgrades. We believe that our professional services enable the customer to implement our software rapidly, ensure the customer’s success with our solution, strengthen the relationship with the customer, and adds to our industry-specific knowledge base for use in future implementations and product development efforts.

     Although our professional services are optional, substantially all of our customers use at least some portion of these services for the implementation and ongoing support of our software products. Professional services are typically rendered under time and materials-based contracts, with services typically billed on an hourly basis. Professional services are sometimes rendered under fixed-fee based contracts, with payments due on specific dates or milestones. We believe that increased sales of our software solutions will drive higher demand for our consulting services.

     Our professional services group consists of business consultants, systems analysts and technical personnel devoted to assisting customers in all phases of the implementation of our systems, including planning and design, customer-specific configuring of modules, and on-site implementation or conversion from existing systems. Our consulting personnel undergo extensive training on supply chain operations and our products. We believe that this training enables us to productively use newly-hired consulting personnel. At times, we use third-party consultants, such as those from major systems integrators, to assist our customers in certain implementations.

     We have developed a proprietary, standardized implementation methodology called PRISM, which leverages our solutions’ architecture with the knowledge and expertise gained from completing more than 1,600 installations worldwide. The modular design of our solutions significantly reduces the complexities associated with integrating to existing systems, including ERP, Supply Chain Management (“SCM”), Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), e-business systems and complex material handling systems. As a result, we have been able to deploy a fully automated inbound and outbound system in less than two months.

     Customer Support Services and Software Enhancements. We offer a comprehensive program that provides our customers with timely software upgrades that offer additional or improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Over the last three years, our annual renewal rate of customers subscribing to comprehensive support and enhancements has been approximately 90%. We have the ability to remotely access the customer’s system in order to perform diagnostics, on-line assistance and assist in software upgrades. We offer 24x7 customer support plus software upgrades for an annual fee paid in advance, determined based on the level of service needed by the customer.

     Training. We offer training in a structured environment for new and existing users. Training programs are provided on a per-person, per-class basis at fixed fees. We currently have courses available to provide training on solution use, configuration, implementation and system administration. We have also developed several computer-based training programs that can be purchased for a fixed fee for use at client sites.

     Hardware. In conjunction with the licensing of our software, we resell a variety of hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties in order to provide our customers with an integrated supply chain execution solution. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all third-party hardware products pursuant to agreements with manufacturers or through distributor-authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase hardware products at discount prices and to receive technical support in connection with product installations and any subsequent product malfunctions. We generally purchase hardware from our vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain significant hardware inventory.

Sales and Marketing

     We employ multiple discipline sales teams that consist of professionals with industry experience in sales and technical sales support. To date, we have generated the majority of our revenue from sales of software through our direct sales force. We plan to continue to invest significantly to expand our sales, services and marketing organizations within the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia Pacific and to pursue strategic marketing partnerships. We conduct comprehensive marketing programs that include advertising, public relations, trade shows, joint programs with vendors and consultants and ongoing customer communication programs. The sales cycle typically begins with the generation of a sales lead, through in-house telemarketing efforts, trade shows or other means of referral, or the receipt of a request for proposal from a prospective customer. The sales lead or request for proposal is followed by the qualification of the lead or prospect, an assessment of the customer’s requirements, a formal response to the request for proposal, presentations and product demonstrations, site visits to an existing customer using our supply chain execution system and contract negotiation. The sales cycle can vary substantially from customer to customer, but typically requires three to nine months.

     In addition to sales to new customers, we will continue to leverage our existing customer base to provide for system upgrades, sales of additional licenses of purchased products and sales of new or add-on products. We also plan to further develop and expand our indirect sales channels, including sales through reseller agreements, marketing agreements and agreements with third-party logistics providers. To extend our market coverage and to provide us with new business leads and access to trained implementation personnel, we further intend to develop and expand our strategic alliances with systems integrators capable of performing implementations of our solutions. Business referrals and leads helping us to grow our business continue to be positively influenced by systems integrators, which include most of the large consulting firms and other systems consulting firms specializing in our targeted industries. We believe that our leadership position in providing SCE solutions perpetuates the willingness of systems integrators to recommend our solutions where appropriate.

     We have an established program intended to foster joint sales and marketing efforts with our business partners. In some cases, this included joint development work to make our products and our partner’s products interface seamlessly. Among others, partnerships arising from our Manhattan Associates Partner Program (MAP2) include: JDA Software Group, Inc., a leading global provider of integrated software and professional services to retailers and their suppliers; Intentia International AB, a leading global supplier of ERP solutions; ProClarity Corporation (formerly Knosys, Inc.), a provider of analytic front-end technology designed specifically for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services; Siemens Logistics and Assembly Systems, Inc, a world leader in providing system solutions from concept through implementation in manufacturing, automotive, distribution, parcel and freight, postal, air cargo, baggage handling and software applications; IBM, a globally recognized leader in technology solutions; and Accenture, a leading global consulting company.

Product Development

     Our development efforts are focused on adding new functionality to existing solutions, integrating the various solution offerings, enhancing the operability of our solutions across distributed and alternative hardware platforms, operating systems and database systems and developing new solutions. We believe that our future success depends in part upon our ability to continue to enhance existing solutions, to respond to dynamically changing customer requirements and to develop new or enhanced solutions that incorporate new technological developments and emerging supply chain and industry standards. To that end, our development efforts frequently focus on base system enhancements and the incorporation into our solutions of new user requirements and features identified and created through customer and industry interactions and systems implementations. As a result, we are able to continue to offer our customers a packaged, highly configurable solution with increasing functionality rather than a custom-developed software program. We have also developed interface toolkits for most major ERP systems to enhance communication and improve data flows between our core solutions and our clients’ host systems.

     We plan to principally conduct our development efforts internally in order to retain development knowledge and promote the continuity of programming standards; however, some projects that can be performed separately and/or require special skills may be outsourced. Periodically, we use third-party research and development companies to localize our products into Japanese, German, French and Spanish. We also established an off-shore development center in Bangalore, India during 2002, which now has more than 279 research and development professionals. The off-shore development center also employs several Indian citizens currently working for and holding extensive development experience with us.

     We continue to devote a significant portion of our research and development efforts to the enhancement and integration of all of our solutions. We have developed a release program for all solutions, which provides our customers with updates to all of our solutions. Our product development efforts will principally be focused on enhancement of our existing solutions, development of new solutions and modules and continued localization of our solutions into various international markets.

     Our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were $20.8 million, $27.0 million, and $28.8 million, respectively. We intend to continue to invest significantly in product development.

Competition

     Our solutions are targeted at the SCE market, which is rapidly consolidating, intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our solutions include:

  •   vendor and product reputation;
 
  •   compliance with industry standards;
 
  •   solution architecture;
 
  •   solution functionality and features;
 
  •   ease and speed of implementation;
 
  •   return on investment;
 
  •   solution quality and performance;
 
  •   total cost of ownership;
 
  •   solution price; and
 
  •   level of support.

Table of Contents

     We believe that we compete favorably with respect to each of these factors. Our competitors are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of the extended supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. Our existing competitors include:

  •   the corporate information technology departments of current or potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
 
  •   supply chain execution vendors, including Catalyst International, Inc., Highjump (3M), Optum, Inc., Provia Software, Inc., RedPrairie Corporation and SSA Global Technologies, Inc. among others;
 
  •   ERP or SCM application vendors with solutions or modules of their solution offering varying degrees of SCE functionality, such as i2 Technologies, Manugistics Group, Inc., Oracle Corp., Retek, Inc. and SAP AG; and
 
  •   smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to develop distribution center management software that competes with our SCE solutions.

     We may face competition in the future from ERP and SCM applications vendors and business application software vendors that may broaden their solution offerings by internally developing or by acquiring or partnering with independent developers of supply chain execution software. To the extent such ERP and SCM vendors develop or acquire systems with functionality comparable or superior to our solutions, their significant installed customer bases, long-standing customer relationships and ability to offer a broad solution could provide a significant competitive advantage over our solutions. In addition, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. Both Oracle and SAP have entered the market for SCM applications. We believe that the domain expertise required to compete provides us with a competitive advantage and is a significant barrier to market entry. However, some of our competitors have significant resources at their disposal, and the degree to which we will compete with these new products in the marketplace is still undetermined.

     Many of our competitors and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers than we do. In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors’ innovations. We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not develop solutions comparable or superior in terms of price and performance features to those developed by us. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not be required to make substantial additional investments in connection with our research, development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully in the future. Increased competition may result in reductions in market share, pressure for price reductions and related reductions in gross margins, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to achieve our financial and business goals. We cannot give assurance that in the future we will be able to successfully compete against current and future competitors.

International Operations

     Our international revenue was approximately $33.4 million, $38.7 million and $48.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which represents approximately 19%, 20% and 23% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. International revenue includes all revenue derived from sales to customers outside the United States. We now have over 550 employees outside the United States. We have offices in Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin America.

Table of Contents

     We conduct our direct European operations principally out of offices in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and France, consisting of approximately 170 employees. Total revenue for European operations was approximately $29.3 million, $31.9 million and $35.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which represents approximately 17%, 16% and 17% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Proprietary Rights

     We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark, service mark and trade dress laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our products and technology. We have registered trademarks for PkMS, PickTicket Management System, PTRS, Have/Needs Analysis, LogisticsPRO, InfoLink, InfoLink Order, Infolink Source, PkCost, PkView, PkAllocate, WorkInfo, SmartInfo, SlotInfo, SystemLink, DCMS, Logistics.com, RFID in a Box, Integrated Logistics Solutions, Manhattan Associates and the Manhattan Associates logo as a design mark. We have no registered copyrights. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, clients and potential clients and limit access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information. We license our solutions to our customers and restrict the customer’s use for internal purposes without the right to sublicense the solutions. However, we believe that this provides us only limited protection. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad, we cannot assure you that we will successfully deter misappropriation or independent third-party development of our technology or prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or obtaining and using our products or technology. In addition, policing unauthorized use of our solutions is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software solutions exist, software piracy could become a problem.

     As the number of supply chain management solutions in the industry increases and the functionality of these solutions further overlaps, companies that develop software may increasingly become subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights. Third parties may assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us in the future for current or future products. Any claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Any royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse determinations in such claims or litigation could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     We may be subject to additional risks as we enter into transactions in countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced. Legal protections of our rights may be ineffective in such countries. Litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the final outcome of such litigation. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad, we cannot assure that we will be successful in doing so, or that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of our technology or to prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our products or technology. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2004, we had nearly 1,400 full-time employees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. As of December 31, 2004, certain of our employees were employed pursuant to the H-1(B), non-immigrant work-permitted visa classification.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     All statements, trend analyses and other information contained in the following discussion relative to markets for our products and trends in revenue, gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” and “intend” and other similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and our actual results of operations may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Business

     We are a global leader in providing supply chain execution and optimization solutions. Our integrated logistics solutions leverage a comprehensive set of applications that can be implemented as an integrated whole or as individual point solutions to better manage the supply chain. This platform for logistics is comprised of various applications including warehouse management, transportation management, distributed order management, reverse logistics and trading partner management along with Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) and performance management. Our solution offering is comprised of software, services, and hardware.

     Our warehouse management solutions (“WMS”) manage the processes that take place within the distribution center, from receipt of goods to fulfillment of orders, and include applications for optimizing labor and slotting. With our transportation management solutions (“TMS”), companies can optimally procure, plan and execute transportation services across transportation modes, such as air, ship and ground. Our distributed order management solution enables companies to balance supply with demand and source goods to meet customer needs in a timely and cost effective manner. With our reverse logistics management solutions, companies can effectively manage the returns process and improve net asset recovery. Our trading partner management solutions (“TPM”) provide Web-based synchronization between trading partners, improving communication and visibility across the entire supply chain. Our RFID solutions offer a flexible, scalable and modular solution that provide an integration and reporting platform between RFID chip readers and supply chain execution and enterprise resource planning systems. Finally, our performance management applications include event management, alerting and reporting modules, which use analytic tools and alerting processes to monitor and proactively respond to events within the supply chain cycle, analyze historical and operational data and generate reports.

     In addition to our software solutions, we also offer a variety of services to enhance the value we provide customers. Our offerings include design, configuration, implementation, training, product assessment, customer support, hardware, consulting services and software enhancement subscriptions.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made estimates and judgments relating to certain amounts included in the financial statements. As a result, application of these accounting policies, could cause actual results to differ from these estimates.

     We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Revenues and Revenue Recognition

     Our revenue is derived from (i) Software and Hosting Fees, which consist of revenue from the licensing and hosting of software and revenue from funded research and development efforts; (ii) Services Revenue, which consist of fees from consulting, implementation and training services (collectively, “professional services”), plus customer

-18-


Table of Contents

support services and software enhancement subscriptions; and (iii) Hardware and Other Revenue, which consists of sales of hardware and reimbursed project expenses.

     Revenue recognition rules for software companies are very complex. We recognize software fees in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”). Although we follow very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue, the application of those guidelines requires judgment including: (i) whether a software arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for those elements; (ii) whether customizations or modifications of the software are significant; and (iii) whether collection of the software fee is probable. Additionally, we specifically evaluate any other elements in our license transactions, including but not limited to options to purchase additional software at a future date, extended payment terms, functionality commitments not delivered with the software and existing outstanding receivable balances in making the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

     Most of our software arrangements include professional services. Professional services revenues are generally accounted for separately from the software license revenues because the arrangements qualify as “service transactions” as defined by SOP 97-2. The most significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of the services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors and timing of payments. We provide our professional services under services agreements on a time and material basis or based on a fixed-price and/or fixed-time arrangement. The revenues from our time and material based professional consulting and implementation services are recognized as the work is performed, provided that the customer has a contractual obligation to pay, the fee is non-refundable and collection is probable. Delays in project implementation will result in delays in revenue recognition. For our professional consulting services under fixed-price and/or fixed-time arrangements, we recognize the related revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, with progress-to-completion measured by using labor costs input compared to estimated cost of completion. Revisions to the estimates are reflected in the period in which changes become known. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed, or if we do not manage our projects properly within the planned periods of time, then future consulting margins on our projects may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized.

     Hardware revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware products, developed and manufactured by third parties, which are integrated with and complementary to our software solutions. These products include computer equipment, radio frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers, bar code printers and scanners and other peripherals. We generally purchase hardware from our vendors only after receiving an order from a customer, and revenue is recognized upon shipment by the vendor to the customer.

Accounts Receivable

     We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts generally represent a sales allowance on services revenue, which are recorded to operations as a reduction to services revenue. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Our top five customers in aggregate accounted for 16%, 16% and 14% of total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2002, 2003 or 2004.

     On January 22, 2002, a significant customer from 2001 filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, the uncertainties around the bankruptcy proceedings and the ultimate timing of payment, we recorded an allowance of $4.3 million in 2001 to effectively defer revenues arising in the fourth quarter of 2001 from the significant customer, but unpaid at the time of the bankruptcy declaration. We recorded a recovery of approximately $2.3 million of the receivable in the fourth quarter of 2002. Upon receiving the final cash settlement in June 2003, subsequent to the significant customer emerging from bankruptcy, we recovered an additional $848,000 of the receivable during the second quarter of 2003. The recoveries were recorded as separate revenue line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and reductions to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets during the respective quarters.

Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), we do not amortize goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives. Our long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill are subject to annual impairment tests, which require us to estimate the fair value of our business compared to the carrying value. The impairment reviews require an analysis of future projections and assumptions about our operating performance. Should such review indicate the assets are impaired, we would record an expense for the impaired assets.

     Annual tests or other future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that our goodwill is impaired. For example, if we had reason to believe that our recorded goodwill and intangible assets had become impaired due to decreases in the fair market value of the underlying business, we would have to take a charge to income for that portion of goodwill or intangible assets that we believed was impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. At December 31, 2004, our goodwill balance was $32.5 million and our intangible assets with definite lives balance was $8.3 million, net of accumulated amortization.

Income Taxes

     We provide for the effect of income taxes on our financial position and results of operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this accounting pronouncement, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and for the change in net deferred tax assets or liabilities resulting from events that are recorded for financial reporting purposes in a different reporting period than recorded in the tax return. Management must make significant assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against our net deferred tax asset. Our judgments, assumptions and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our financial position and results of operations. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax asset take into account predictions of the amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render our current assumptions, judgments and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate, thus materially impacting our financial position and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Overview

     Over the past several years, our primary goal has been and continues to be to expand of our position as a leading provider of supply chain execution and optimization solutions by delivering integrated, modular solutions to our customers. With the addition and integration of new products resulting from the acquisitions completed during 2002, 2003 and 2004, as discussed above, along with the synchronized release of new versions of our product suite with enhanced functionality, we were able to accomplish continued revenue growth.

     During 2004, we continued to experience the effects of a weak spending environment for information technology in the United States and Europe, in the form of delayed and cancelled buying decisions by customers for our software, services and hardware, deferrals by customers of service engagements previously scheduled and pressure by our customers and competitors to discount our offerings. We believe that a deterioration in the current business climates or continued delay in capital spending within the United States and/or other geographic regions in which we operate, principally the United Kingdom and continental Europe, could have a material adverse impact on our future operations.

Table of Contents

     In 2005, we plan to continue to enhance our solutions, expand globally and further develop our sales and marketing, including strategic alliances and indirect sales channels. Our success could be limited by several factors, including spending on information technology, the timely release of quality new products and releases, continued market acceptance of our solutions and the introduction of new products by existing or new competitors.

     On December 31, 2002, we acquired certain assets of Logistics.com, Inc. for a cash payment of approximately $21.3 million. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting; thus the results of operations reflect the incremental effect beginning January 1, 2003. $1.5 million of the purchase price was allocated to acquired in-process research and development. Values assigned to the acquired in-process research and development (“IPRD”) were determined using the income approach. To determine the value of the IPRD, we considered, among other factors, the state of development of each project, the time and costs required to complete each project, expected income and associated risks, which included the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing the project and achieving technological feasibility and risks related to the viability of and potential changes in future target markets. This analysis resulted in amounts assigned to IPRD for projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility and do not have alternative future uses.

     Our revenue consists of fees generated from the licensing and hosting of software; fees from professional services, customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions; and sales of complementary radio frequency and computer equipment, which are considered non-strategic. We believe our revenue growth in the last two years is attributable to several factors, including, among others, increased sales of our expanded product suite, geographic expansion, our market leadership positions as to breadth of product offerings and financial stability and a compelling return on investment proposition for our customers.

     Software and hosting fees. The increase in software and hosting fees from 2002 to 2003 was due to sales of newer products, hosting fees and funded development, relating primarily to the TMS products obtained through the acquisition of Logistics.com. Sales of our solution groups other than our warehouse management solution group increased by $10.9 million, or 166%, from 2002 to 2003, while sales of our warehouse management solution group decreased by $7.9 million, or 24%, from 2002 to 2003. The increase from 2003 to 2004 was attributable to an increase of $2.8 million, or 11%, in sales of our warehouse management solution group and an increase of $3.9 million, or 22%, for all other solution groups. Sales outside of North America also impacted the increase from 2003 to 2004 as sales increased from 18% of total software and hosting fees in 2003 to 28% in 2004.

     Services revenue. The increases in services revenue from 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 were principally due to: (i) increases of 14% and 13% in 2003 and 2004, respectively, in the number of active engagements required to implement the increased amount of software sold and to upgrade existing customers to more current versions of our offerings; and (ii) renewals of customer support services and software enhancement subscription agreements on a growing installed base. Revenue from software enhancement subscription agreements increased by 30% and 20% during 2003 and 2004, respectively. During the economic downturn, we have experienced some pricing pressures with regard to our services. We believe that the pricing pressures are attributable to global macro-economic conditions and competitive pressures. Our services revenue growth has been and will likely continue to be affected

-21-

by the mix of products sold. The individual engagements involving our newer products, including TMS, RFID and TPM, typically require less implementation services; however, the number of engagements continue to grow.

     Hardware and other. Sales of hardware are non-strategic and largely dependent upon customer-specific desires. Sales of hardware decreased $0.4 million, or 2%, from approximately $17.3 million in 2002 to approximately $16.9 million in 2003 and decreased an additional $0.4 million, or 2%, to approximately $16.5 million in 2004. The decreases in hardware sales from 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 are attributable to customers’ desires in the current macro-economic environment to buy hardware from other suppliers offering greater discounts, combined with increased sales of our optimization and transportation products, which require less hardware than our core warehouse management products. As described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses are required to be classified as revenue and are included in hardware and other revenue. For 2002, 2003 and 2004, reimbursements by customers for out-of-pocket expenses were approximately $5.4 million, $6.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

     Recovery relating to bankrupt customer. On January 22, 2002, a significant customer for 2001 filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, the uncertainties around the bankruptcy proceedings and the ultimate timing of payment, we recorded an allowance of $4.3 million in 2001 to effectively defer revenues arising in the fourth quarter of 2001 from the significant customer, but unpaid at the time of the bankruptcy declaration. We recorded a recovery of approximately $2.3 million of the receivable in the fourth quarter of 2002. Upon receiving the final cash settlement in June 2003, subsequent to the significant customer emerging from bankruptcy, we recovered an additional $848,000 of the receivable during the second quarter of 2003. The recoveries were recorded as separate revenue line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and reductions to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets during the respective quarters.

     Cost of Software and Hosting Fees. Cost of software and hosting fees consists of the costs associated with software reproduction; hosting services; funded development; media, packaging and delivery, documentation and other related costs; royalties on third-party software sold with or as part of our products; and the amortization of capitalized research and development costs. The increase in cost of software fees, as a percent of software and hosting fees and in absolute dollars, in 2003 is principally attributable to the costs associated with hosting certain of our software solutions, which was approximately $1.7 million in 2003. As discussed above, we did not offer hosting services during 2002. In addition, sales of our open systems products as a percentage of total revenue from all

-22-


Table of Contents

products sold, increased from approximately 50% in 2002 to approximately 80% in 2003 which resulted in higher royalties paid to third parties during 2003. The decrease in cost of software fees, as a percentage of software and hosting fees and in absolute dollars, in 2004 is attributable to lower telecommunication costs associated with hosting certain of our software solutions and lower amortization expense. There was approximately $300,000 of amortization expense in 2003 associated with capitalized development costs, which were fully amortized by the end of 2003.

     Amortization of Acquired Developed Technology. Amortization of acquired developed technology increased from $1.5 million in 2002 to $2.0 million in 2003 to $2.1 million in 2004. The increases were the result of the acquisitions of Logistics.com in December 2002, ReturnCentral in June 2003, Streamsoft in October 2003 and Avere in January 2004.

     Cost of Services. Cost of services consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of employees dedicated to professional and technical services and customer support services. The increases in cost of services from 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 were principally due to increases in salary-related costs resulting from: (i) increases of 11% and 19%, respectively, in the number of personnel dedicated to the delivery of professional and technical services; and (ii) annual compensation increases. The decrease in the services gross margin from 58% in 2002 and 2003 to 53.5% during 2004 was attributable to the shift in the product mix to open systems, fixed price contracts, including unusually high costs associated with the implementation for one particularly challenging customer, and increased costs due to international expansion and training. The implementation of our warehouse management open systems products is more costly than the implementation of our legacy warehouse management product, the iSeries or AS400, due to the lower maturity level of the product and limited experience of the services personnel and integration requirements with multiple third party hardware and software products. Due to the shift towards open systems sales and less implementation services on our other products outside of warehouse management, we do not anticipate our services gross margin to return to the 2002 and 2003 levels, although some improvement is anticipated.

     Cost of Hardware and other. Cost of hardware decreased from approximately $13.6 million in 2002 and 2003 to approximately $13.1 million in 2004 as a direct result of lower sales of hardware. Cost of hardware and other includes out-of-pocket expenses to be reimbursed by customers of approximately $5.4 million, $6.5 million and $7.0 million for 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase in reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses is due to increased travel related to the increase in services projects.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs for personnel involved in our research and development activities. The increases in research and development expenses from 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 are principally attributable to: (i) increases in the number of full-time and contracted personnel dedicated to our ongoing research and development activities; (ii) the expansion of our offshore development center in India, which was formed in 2002; and (iii) annual compensation increases. Domestic research and development personnel increased by approximately 11% from the end of 2002 to the end of 2003 and 4% from the end of 2003 to the end of 2004. The number of personnel related to our offshore development center increased from 32 at December 31, 2002 to 164 at December 31, 2003 to 279 at December 31, 2004. Our principal research and development activities in 2004 focused on the expansion and integration of new products and the synchronized product release, which included expanded product functionality, interoperability and testing.

     Computer software development costs are charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established, after which remaining software production costs are capitalized. We have defined technological feasibility as the point in time at which we have a detailed program design or a working model of the related product, depending upon the type of development effort. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, we capitalized no research and development costs because the costs between the attainment of technological feasibility for the related software product through the date of general release were insignificant.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions, travel and other personnel-related costs of sales and marketing personnel and the costs of our marketing and alliance programs and related activities. The increases in sales and marketing expenses from 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 are principally attributable to: (i) an increase in salary-related costs resulting from a 9% increase in the average number of international and domestic sales and marketing personnel in 2003 compared to 2002 and no increase in 2004 compared to 2003; (ii) greater incentive compensation paid on 7% and 15% higher license and hosting fees in 2003 over 2002 and 2004 over 2003, respectively; and (iii) continued global expansion of our sales and marketing programs.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs of executive, financial, human resources, information technology and administrative personnel, as well as facilities, depreciation, legal, insurance, accounting and other administrative expenses. The increases in general and administrative expenses from 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 were principally attributable to increases in salary-related costs from increases of approximately 16% each year in the average number of general and administrative personnel, primarily from our international expansion, and increased audit and outside consulting costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Depreciation expense is included in general and administrative expenses and was $6.3 million, $7.6 million and $7.2 million during 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles. We have recorded goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets as part of the purchase accounting associated with various acquisitions, including the acquisitions of Logistics.com in December 2002, ReturnCentral in June 2003, Streamsoft in October 2003, Avere in January 2004, and eebiznet in July 2004. The increase in the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles is the result of amortization of intangible assets with finite lives that were purchased as part of the various acquisitions. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually.

     In-Process Research and Development and Acquisition-Related Charges. On December 31, 2002, we acquired certain assets of Logistics.com, Inc. from Internet Capital Group for a cash payment of approximately $21.3 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to net assets acquired of $1.2 million, acquired in-process research and development of $1.5 million, acquired developed technology of $1.5 million, and other intangible assets of $17.1 million.

     During the third quarter of 2003, we recorded expenses of $885,000 relating to fees incurred in connection with two potential acquisitions that we decided not to consummate. The acquisition-related charges are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income and consist primarily of legal, accounting and travel expenses associated with the two transactions.

     Restructuring Charge. During the second quarter of 2003, we recorded a restructuring charge of $893,000 relating to an internal reorganization. The reorganization more closely aligned our implementation teams and customer support organization with our technical teams. The charge consisted primarily of severance payments. Approximately $857,000 was paid prior to December 31, 2003 and the remaining $36,000 was and paid out in January 2004.

     Income from Operations. The decrease in operating income from 2002 to 2003 was attributable to a lower margin on our software fees resulting from our hosting services, a $1.5 million decrease in the amount recovered relating to the bankrupt customer and an overall increase in operating expenses from the continued investment in global expansion initiatives and the further development of our product suite. Operating income for 2002 reflects a recovery relating to the bankrupt customer totaling $2.3 million; a charge for in-process research and development totaling $1.5 million associated with the acquisition of Logistics.com and non-cash, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization totaling $1.8 million. Operating income for 2003 reflects a recovery relating to the bankrupt customer totaling $0.8 million; acquisition-related expenses of $0.9 million; a restructuring charge of $0.9 million; and non-cash, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization totaling $3.4 million. The increase in operating income from 2003 to 2004 resulted from the growth in higher margin software fees. Operating income for 2004 reflects acquisition-related intangible asset amortization totaling $3.6 million.

     Other Income, Net. Other income, net includes interest income and interest expense and foreign currency gains and losses. Interest income decreased from $2.1 million in 2002 to $1.5 million in 2003 due to an overall decline in market interest rates, and increased to $2.4 million in 2004 due to an overall increase in market interest rates along with an increase in the cash available to invest. The weighted-average interest rates on investment securities at December 31, 2002 was approximately 1.4%, as compared to 1.1% at December 31, 2003 and 2.2% at December 31, 2004. Interest expense was $147,000 in 2002, $13,000 in 2003, and $26,000 in 2004. We recorded net foreign currency gains of $0.8 million in 2002, $1.3 million in 2003, and $0.9 million in 2004. The foreign currency gains resulted from gains on intercompany transactions denominated in U.S. dollars with subsidiaries due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, primarily the British Pound and Euro.

     Income Tax Provision. The fluctuation in the income tax provision during 2003 and 2004 is directly attributable to the decrease during 2003 and increase during 2004 of income before income taxes. Our effective income tax rates were 36.3%, 34.3% and 36.2% in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Our effective income tax rate takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits. The decrease in the tax rates in 2003 was attributable to an increase in income generated in countries with lower tax rates along with an increase in the utilization of research and development credits. The increase in the tax rates in 2004 was attributable to a decrease in income generated in countries with lower tax rates. The provisions for income taxes for 2002, 2003 and 2004 do not include the $14.0 million, $11.3 million and $10.7 million of tax benefits realized from stock options exercised during the years, respectively. These tax benefits reduce our income tax liabilities and are included in additional paid-in capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During 2003 and 2004, we funded our operations primarily through cash generated from operations. As of December 31, 2003, we had $155.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments compared to $172.7 million at December 31, 2004.

     Our operating activities provided cash of $45.5 million in 2002, $37.0 million in 2003 and $44.5 million in 2004. Cash from operating activities for 2002 arose principally from a substantial increase in operating income, the income tax benefits arising from exercises of stock options by employees, partially off-set by the increase in accounts receivable. Cash from operating activities for 2003 arose principally from operating income, the income tax benefits arising from exercises of stock options by employees, the increase in deferred revenue and rent, partially off-set by the increase in accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Days sales outstanding increased from 65 days at December 31, 2002 to 76 days at December 31, 2003, as a result of slower collections associated with international revenues. Cash from operating activities for 2004 arose principally from operating income, the income tax benefits arising from exercises of stock options by employees, increases in deferred revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially off-set by the increase in accounts receivable. Days sales outstanding was 76 days at December 31, 2004, consistent with the prior year.

     Our investing activities used approximately $65.7 million, $77.8 million, and $20.9 million of cash during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. During 2002, our principal uses of cash were $21.2 million for the acquisition of Logistics.com, $6.0 million for purchases of capital equipment to support our business and infrastructure and net purchases of $38.6 million in investments. During 2003, our principal uses of cash were for net purchases of $65.3 million in investments, purchases of capital equipment of $7.7 million to support our business and infrastructure, $2.6 million for the acquisitions of ReturnCentral and Streamsoft, and the $2.0 million investment in Alien Technology. During 2004, our principal uses of cash were $7.6 million for purchases of capital equipment to support our business and infrastructure, $1.7 million for acquisitions and net purchases of $11.6 million in investments.

     Our financing activities used cash of approximately $0.9 million in 2002 and $17.9 million in 2004 and provided approximately $9.0 million of cash in 2003. The principal uses of cash for financing activities in 2002 was for the repurchase of 260,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $4.1 million and the repayment of $5.3 million relating to the note payable issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Intrepa, L.L.C. in October 2000. The principal source of cash provided by financing activities in 2003 was $9.3 million in proceeds from the issuance

of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options. The principal uses of cash for financing activities in 2004 was for repurchase of 885,400 shares of our common stock for approximately $21.8 million, partially off-set by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options of approximately $4.0 million. The stock purchases in 2002 and 2004 were through open market transactions as part of a publicly-announced repurchase program.

     We believe there are opportunities to grow our business through the acquisition of complementary and synergistic companies, products and technologies. Any material acquisition could result in a decrease to our working capital depending on the amount, timing and nature of the consideration to be paid. Our Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program covering up to $20 million of our common stock over a period ending no later than July 21, 2005, of which $4.2 million in approved but unspent stock repurchases remains at December 31, 2004. In February 2005, our Board of Directors authorized us to purchase up to $20 million of our common stock, including the amount that had previously been approved but not yet spent, over a period ending no latter than February 3, 2006. We expect to fund purchases under the program through existing cash, cash equivalents and investments.

     We believe that our existing liquidity and expected cash flows from operations will satisfy our capital requirements for normal operations for the foreseeable future. We believe that existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs at least for the next twelve months, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved the consensus reached on the EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. The accounting provisions of EITF 03-1 were effective for all reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements were effective only for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-1 did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Statements of Income, financial position or liquidity.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) 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. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

     Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued.

     Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

2. A “modified retrospective” method, which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

     We will adopt Statement 123(R) beginning on July 1, 2005 and are currently in the process of evaluating which method we will adopt.

     As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on our result of operations. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the

-26-


Table of Contents

future. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 1. Pro forma net income for 2002 was $182,000 compared to reported net income of $25.2 million. Pro forma net loss for 2003 and 2004 was $6.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, compared to reported net income of $21.8 million and $22.1 million in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were $14.0 million, $11.3 million, and $10.7 million in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act)” that provides tax relief to U.S. domestic manufacturers. The FSP states that the manufacturers’ deduction provided for under the Act should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with Statement 109 rather than as a tax rate reduction. Also in December 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” addressing accounting and disclosure guidance relating to a company’s repatriation program. The additional disclosures required under this FSP are included in Note 2, Income Taxes. Both FSPs were effective upon issuance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

     Our principal commitments as of December 31, 2004, consist of obligations under operating leases. We expect to fulfill all of the following commitments from our working capital.

Lease Commitments

     We lease certain of our facilities and some of our equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates through 2008. Rent expense for these leases aggregated $4.0 million, $5.0 million and $5.9 million during fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     The following table summarizes our contractual commitments as of December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

                                                         
                                                    After  
    Total     2005     2006     2007     2008     2009     2009  
Non-cancelable operating leases
  $ 22,233     $ 5,554     $ 6,373     $ 6,007     $ 2,715     $ 1,298     $ 286  
Capital leases
  $ 304     $ 152     $ 152     $     $     $     $  

Indemnifications

     Our sales agreements with customers generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the customer in connection with patent, copyright or trade secret infringement claims made by third parties with respect to the customer’s authorized use of our products and services. The indemnity provisions generally provide for our control of defense and settlement and cover costs and damages finally awarded against the customer, as well as our modification of the product so it is no longer infringing or, if it cannot be corrected, return of the product for a refund. Our sales agreements with customers sometimes also contain indemnity provisions for death, personal injury or property damage caused by our personnel or contractors in the course of performing services to customers. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the customer in connection with death, personal injury and property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of our personnel or contractors. The indemnity provisions generally provide for our control of defense and settlement and cover costs and damages finally awarded against the customer. The indemnity obligations contained in sales agreements generally have no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on the amount of award covered. We have not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations. We account for these indemnity obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and record a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2004.

     We warrant to our customers that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer for 90 days after first use of the licensed products, but no more than 24 months after execution of the license agreement. Additionally, we warrant to our customers that our services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, we have not incurred significant recurring expense under our product or service warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is nominal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2004.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Business

     Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Our international operations currently include business activity out of offices in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, China, Singapore and India. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against a foreign currency, the value of our sales and expenses in that currency converted to U.S. dollars decreases. When the U.S. dollar weakens, the value of our sales and expenses in that currency converted to U.S. dollars increases.

     We recognized foreign exchange rate gains of approximately $0.8 million during 2002, $1.3 million in 2003, and $0.9 million in 2004, classified in “Other income, net” on our Consolidated Statements of Income. A fluctuation of 10% in the period end exchange rates at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004 relative to the US dollar would result in changes of approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million in the reported foreign currency gains, respectively.

Interest Rates

     We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, including taxable and tax-advantaged floating rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and local, state and national governmental entities and agencies. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are derived from operations.

     We account for our investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). All of the cash equivalents and investments are treated as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115.

     Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. The weighted-average interest rate on investment securities at December 31, 2003 was approximately 1.1%, as compared to 2.2% at December 31, 2004. The fair value of cash equivalents and investments held at December 31, 2003 and 2004 was $149.3 million and $161.3 million, respectively. Based on the average investments outstanding during 2003 and 2004, increases or decreases of 25 basis points would result in increases or decreases to interest income of approximately $325,000 and $400,000 in 2003 and 2004, respectively, from the reported interest income.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

     Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2004 due to a material weakness.

     A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2004, management has determined that the Company’s controls over monitoring vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements related to sales contracts with multiple revenue elements were insufficient. Although no material misstatements related to revenue recognition were discovered, until this deficiency is remediated, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected by the Company’s controls in a timely manner. Because of this material weakness, we have concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on the criteria in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

     Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears beginning on page 31 hereof.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Manhattan Associates, Inc.

     We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Manhattan Associates, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of the material weakness identified in management’s assessment related to insufficient controls over monitoring vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements related to sales contracts with multiple revenue elements, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Manhattan Associates, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

     A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. As of December 31, 2004, management has determined that the Company’s controls over monitoring vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements related to sales contracts with multiple revenue elements were insufficient. Although no material misstatements related to revenue recognition were discovered, until this deficiency is remediated, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected by the Company’s controls in a timely manner. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 16, 2005 on those financial statements.

Table of Contents

     In our opinion, management’s assessment that Manhattan Associates, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO control criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Manhattan Associates, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO control criteria.

     We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and our report dated March 16, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Manhattan Associates, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Manhattan Associates, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

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

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

     We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 16, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts and credit losses at the time of sale.

     The Company’s top five customers in aggregate accounted for 16%, 16% and 14% of total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004. On January 22, 2002, a significant customer for 2001 filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, the uncertainties around the bankruptcy proceedings and the ultimate timing of payment, we recorded an allowance of $4.3 million in 2001 to effectively defer revenues arising in the fourth quarter of 2001 from the significant customer, but unpaid at the time of the bankruptcy declaration. The allowance included approximately $2.3 million of software fees, $1.6 million of fees for professional services and $0.4 million of hardware. In September 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division authorized the significant customer’s request to assume the software license, services, support and enhancement agreement. With the appeals process completed in October 2002, the Company recovered approximately $2.3 million of the receivable during the fourth quarter of 2002. Upon receiving the final cash settlement in June 2003, subsequent to the significant customer emerging from bankruptcy, the Company recovered an additional $848,000 of the receivable during the second quarter of 2003. The recoveries were recorded as separate revenue line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and reductions to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets during the respective quarters.

     Investments

     The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist of debt instruments of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies, state and local government agencies and corporate commercial paper. These investments are categorized as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair market value, as defined by SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash equivalents; investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days but less than one year are classified as short-term investments; and those with original maturities of greater than one year are classified as long-term investments. The long-term investments consist of debt instruments of U.S. government agencies and mature after one year through five years. The Company holds investments in Auction Rate Securities, which have original maturities greater than one year, but which have auctions to reset the yield every 7 to 35 days. The Company has classified these assets as short-term investments. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. For the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis.

     As of December 31, 2004, $38.1 million, $35.7 million, $0 and $87.5 million of the Company’s investments mature within 1 year, after 1 year through 5 years, after 5 years through 10 years and after 10 years, respectively.

     On July 11, 2003, the Company made a cash investment of $2 million in Alien Technology Corp. (“Alien”), a provider of ultra-low cost radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and hardware. The investment represents approximately a 1.5% ownership interest in the privately-held corporation. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Alien is its investment of $2 million. The investment has been accounted for under the cost method, and is included in “Other Assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of this investment is not estimated as there were no identified events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon an evaluation of historical amounts written-off, the Company’s customers’ ability to pay and general economic conditions; the useful lives of intangible assets; self insurance accruals; the recoverability or impairment of intangible asset values; and the Company’s effective income tax rate and deferred tax assets, which are based upon the Company’s expectations of future taxable income, allowable deductions, and projected tax credits. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other financial instruments included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values principally due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are included as a separate component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income”, net of any related tax effect, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

     Risks Associated with Single Business Line, Technological Advances, and Foreign Operations

     The Company currently derives a substantial portion of its revenues from sales of its software and related services and hardware. The markets for supply chain execution are subject to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. As a result, the Company’s position in these markets could be eroded rapidly by unforeseen changes in customer requirements for application features, functions, and technologies. The Company’s growth and future operating results will depend, in part, upon its ability to enhance existing applications and develop and introduce new applications that meet changing customer requirements that respond to competitive products and that achieve market acceptance. Any factor adversely affecting the markets for supply chain execution solutions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

     The Company’s international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, the future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors. The Company recognized foreign exchange rate gains of approximately $830,000 in 2002, $1,283,000 in 2003 and $927,000 in 2004, classified in “Other income, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company’s revenue consists of revenues from the licensing and hosting of software; fees from consulting, implementation and training services (collectively, “professional services”), plus customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions; and sales of hardware.

     The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”), specifically when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed contract is obtained; (2) delivery of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is probable. SOP 98-9 requires recognition of revenue using the “residual method” when (1) there is vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of all undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement that is not accounted for using long-term contract accounting; (2) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement; and (3) all revenue-recognition criteria in SOP 97-2, other than the requirement for vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each delivered element of the arrangement are satisfied. For those contracts that contain significant customization or modifications, license revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method.

     The Company’s services revenue consists of fees generated from professional services, customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions related to the Company’s software products. Fees from professional services performed by the Company are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Professional services are sometimes rendered under agreements in which billings are limited to contractual maximums or based upon a fixed-fee for portions of or all of the engagement. Revenue related to fixed-fee based contracts is recognized on a percent complete basis based on the hours incurred. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period in which they become known. Revenue related to customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions are generally paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, typically 12 months.

     Hardware revenue is generated from the resale of a variety of hardware products, developed and manufactured by third parties, that are integrated with and complementary to the Company’s software solutions. As part of a complete solution, the Company’s customers frequently purchase hardware from the Company in conjunction with the licensing of software. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminals networks, RFID chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer when title passes. The Company generally purchases hardware from its vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a result, the Company does not maintain significant hardware inventory.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     In accordance with the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-14 (“EITF No. 01-14”), “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred,” the Company recognizes amounts associated with reimbursements from customers for out-of-pocket expenses as revenue. Such amounts have been classified to hardware and other revenue. The total amount of expense reimbursement recorded to revenue was $5.4 million, $6.5 million and $7.0 million for 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     Deferred Revenue

     Deferred revenue represents amounts collected prior to having completed performance of professional services, customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions and significant remaining obligations under license agreements. The Company expects to complete such services or obligations within the next twelve months.

     Returns and Allowances

     The Company has not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, has not recorded a provision for the cost of returns and product warranty claims at December 31, 2003 or 2004.

     The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment of accounts receivable. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts generally represent a sales allowance on services revenue, which are recorded to operations as a reduction to services revenue. The total amounts charged to operations were $3.1 million, $3.5 million and $4.0 million for 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the age of the accounts receivable, the Company’s historical write-offs, and the credit worthiness of the customer, among others. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of the Company’s future provision for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible accounts are written off when it is determined that the specific balance is not collectible.

     Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment consists of furniture, computers, other office equipment, purchased software for internal use, and leasehold improvements recorded at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of furniture, computers, other office equipment and purchased software on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (three years for computer equipment and software, five years for office equipment, seven years for furniture). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease. Included in computer equipment and software are assets under a capital lease of approximately $247,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2004. Accumulated depreciation relating to the assets under a capital lease was $0 and $82,000 as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment, including assets under a capital lease, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was approximately $6,275,000, $7,639,000 and $7,207,000, respectively, and was included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

     Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

     Acquisition-related intangible assets are stated at historical cost and include acquired software and certain other intangible assets with definite lives. The acquired software is being amortized over the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product including the period being reported on. The other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of two to ten years. Total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,772,000, $3,432,000 and $3,575,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and is included in amortization of acquired developed technology and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

     Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired is no longer being amortized. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under the new statement, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill, but instead tests for impairment on at least an annual basis. Goodwill consists of the following (in thousands):

                 
    December 31,  
    2003     2004  
Goodwill
  $ 36,268     $ 37,049

  $ 31,688     $ 32,469  
 
           

     Approximately $35.8 million of the gross Goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

     Software Development Costs

     Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred. The Company determines the amount of development costs capitalizable under the provisions of SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Computer software development costs are charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established, after which remaining software production costs are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86. The Company has defined technological feasibility as the point in time at which the Company has a detailed program design or a working model of the related product, depending on the type of development efforts. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company capitalized no internal research and development costs because the costs incurred between the attainment of technological feasibility for the related software product through the date when the product was available for general release to customers has been insignificant. Total amortization expense related to software development costs capitalized prior to 2002 was approximately $526,000, $343,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and is included in cost of software and hosting fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, all capitalized development costs were fully amortized.

     Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

     The Company periodically reviews the values assigned to long-lived assets, including property and certain intangible assets, to determine whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives may warrant revision or that the remaining balances may not be recoverable. In such reviews, undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets are compared with their carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. Management believes the long-lived and intangible assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are fairly valued.

     The evaluation of asset impairment requires management to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.

     Impairment of Goodwill

     In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which was adopted in its entirety on January 1, 2002, the Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether the goodwill or other intangible asset is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill or other intangible asset is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill and the other intangible assets. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill or other intangible assets, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The initial evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets completed as of June 30, 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 142 resulted in no impairment losses. Additionally, the Company performed its periodic review of its goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, and did not identify any asset impairment as a result of the review.

     Guarantees and Indemnifications

     The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with Financial Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Company’s sales agreements with customers generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the customer in connection with patent, copyright or trade secret infringement claims made by third parties with respect to the customer’s authorized use of the Company’s products and services. The indemnity provisions generally provide for the Company’s control of defense and settlement and cover costs and damages finally awarded against the customer, as well as the Company’s modification of the product so it is no longer infringing or, if it cannot be corrected, return of the product for a refund. The sales agreements with customers sometimes also contain indemnity provisions for death, personal injury or property damage caused by the Company’s personnel or contractors in the course of performing services to customers. Under these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the customer in connection with death, personal injury and property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of the Company’s personnel or contractors. The indemnity provisions generally provide for the Company’s control of defense and settlement and cover costs and damages finally awarded against the customer. The indemnity obligations contained in sales agreements generally have no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on the amount of award covered. The Company has not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations. The Company accounts for these indemnity obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and records a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2004.

     The Company warrants to its customers that its software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with the standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer for 90 days after first use of the licensed products, but no more than 24 months after execution of the license agreement. Additionally, the Company warrants to its customers that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, the Company will provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, the Company has not incurred significant recurring expense under product or service warranties. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is nominal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2004.

     Segment Information

     The Company operates in a single segment as defined by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” See Note 8 for discussion of foreign operations.

     Advertising Costs

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $715,000, $855,000 and $534,000 in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

     Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

     Basic net income per share is computed using net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (“Weighted Shares”) for the period presented.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     Diluted net income per share is computed using net income divided by Weighted Shares, and the treasury stock method effect of common equivalent shares (“CESs”) outstanding for each period presented. The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004:

     Options to purchase 1,924,075 shares, 1,866,351 shares and 3,020,952 shares of common stock were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective years. See Note 3 for further information on those securities.

     Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan for stock issued to employees under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and, accordingly, records deferred compensation for options granted at an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock. The deferred compensation is presented as a component of equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and is amortized over the periods to be benefited, generally the vesting period of the options. Effective in fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted the pro forma disclosure option for stock-based compensation issued to employees of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

     Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by SFAS No. 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock option grants under the fair value method required by SFAS No. 123. The fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

                         
    2002     2003     2004  
Dividend yield
                 
Expected volatility
    84 %     73 %     62 %
Risk-free interest rate at the date of grant
    2.0 %     3.3 %     4.3 %
Expected life

     Using these assumptions, the fair values of the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 are $24,693,000, $24,980,000 and $32,257,000, respectively, which would be amortized over the vesting period of the options.

     The weighted average fair values of options at the date of grant for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was $16.61, $17.52 and $16.95 per share, respectively.

     The Company’s estimated forfeiture rate of unvested stock options used in 2002 and 2003 when determining the stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair-value method, net of taxes, used an incorrect assumption when determining the appropriate forfeiture rate. As a result, the pro forma information was restated to reflect the proper forfeiture rate. The impact of the restatement is presented below (in thousands):

     On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) 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. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

     Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued.

     Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

2. A “modified retrospective” method, which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

     The Company will be adopting Statement 123(R) beginning July 1, 2005 and is currently in the process of evaluating which method will be adopted.

     As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share above. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were $14.0 million, $11.3 million, and $10.7 million in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications were made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentation. Auction rate securities previously included in cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were reclassified to short-term investments. These reclassifications also impacted the amounts relating to both cash and investments in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Investments above for a further description of these securities.

     A lease incentive payment received during 2003 previously included as a reduction to net property and equipment was reclassified from net property and equipment and to deferred rent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These reclassifications also impacted the amounts relating to depreciation and amortization, deferred rent and property and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

     Amortization expense relating to acquired developed technology previously included in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles in the Consolidated Statements of Income was reclassified to amortization of acquired developed technology.

     Depreciation expense relating to the off-shore development center in India previously included in research and development in the Consolidated Statements of Income was reclassified to general and administrative.

     Unrealized gains and losses on intercompany balances were previously included in foreign currency impact on cash and were reclassified to unrealized foreign currency gain under cash flow from operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

     The reclassifications described above were not considered material. The following represents the previously reported amounts and amounts after the reclassification adjustments (in thousands):

     New Accounting Pronouncements

     In March 2004, the FASB approved the consensus reached on the EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. The accounting provisions of EITF 03-1 were effective for all reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements were effective only for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-1 did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Statements of Income, financial position or liquidity.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act)” that provides tax relief to U.S. domestic manufacturers. The FSP states that the manufacturers’ deduction provided for under the Act should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with Statement 109 rather than as a tax rate reduction. Also in December 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” addressing accounting and disclosure guidance relating to a company’s repatriation program. The additional disclosures required under this staff position are included in Note 2, Income Taxes. Both FSPs were effective upon issuance.

2. Income Taxes

     The Company is subject to future federal and state income taxes and has recorded net deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2003 and 2004. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial accounting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

     The components of income from domestic and foreign operations before income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

                         
    2002     2003     2004

     The components of the historical income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

                         
    2002     2003     2004

     The income tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options were allocated to additional paid-in capital. Such amounts were approximately $14,024,000, $11,322,000 and $10,737,000 for 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     The Company has approximately $2.8 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards that expire in 2020 to 2024. The Company has provided a tax reserve of $2.1 million for the carryforwards. As the Company utilizes the carryforwards, the amount of tax benefit realized will be charged to Additional paid-in-capital.

     The valuation allowance referred to above represents the removal of deferred tax items for net operating loss carryforwards which were generated by stock option exercises recorded to additional paid-in-capital. In fiscal 2004, all net operating loss carryforwards were utilized therefore the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance decreased to $0 at December 31, 2004.

2. Income Taxes (continued)

     The Company currently has a tax holiday in India through March of 2009. As a result of this holiday, the Company had income of approximately $771,000 in 2003 and $2,028,000 in 2004 that was not subject to tax. The India entity did not have income in 2002. The impact on diluted earnings per share if the income had been taxable was decreases of $.01 per share and $.02 per share in 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     Deferred taxes are not provided for temporary differences of approximately $4.2 million, $5.5 million and $8.7 million as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, representing earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries that are intended to be permanently reinvested. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested; accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries.

     In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act provides for a special one-time deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated. The Company may elect to apply this provision to qualifying earnings repatriations in 2005. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has started an evaluation of the effects of the repatriation provision, but does not expect to be able to complete this evaluation until the second quarter of 2005. While no repatriation decisions have been made as of December 31, 2004, the range of possible amounts that the Company is considering for repatriation is between zero and $8.7 million. The related potential range of deferred taxes that would have to be provided should a repatriation decision be made is between zero and $3 million.

     The following is a summary of the items that cause recorded income taxes to differ from taxes computed using the statutory federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004:

                         
    2002     2003     2004

3. Stock Option Plans

     The Manhattan Associates LLC Option Plan (the “LLC Option Plan”) became effective on January 1, 1997. The LLC Option Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The options are granted at terms determined by the committee; however, the options cannot have a term exceeding ten years. Options granted under the LLC Option Plan have vesting periods ranging from immediately to six years. Subsequent to February 28, 1998, no additional options could be granted pursuant to the LLC Option Plan.

     Prior to the establishment of the LLC Option Plan, the Company issued options to purchase 661,784 shares of common stock to certain employees. These grants contain provisions similar to options issued under the LLC Option Plan.

     The Manhattan Associates, Inc. 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders in February 1998. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options. Optionees have the right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified option price and subject to such terms and conditions as are specified in connection with the option grant. The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The committee has the authority to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Stock Incentive Plan generally and to interpret the provisions thereof. Options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan cannot have a term exceeding ten years and typically vest over a period of two to six years.

     As of December 31, 2004, the Stock Incentive Plan provides for issuance of up to 13,603,085 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events), less the number of shares issued under the LLC Option Plan, in the form of stock options and other stock incentives. The number of shares available for issuance under the Plan is automatically adjusted, without shareholder approval, on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the 2000 fiscal year, by a number of shares such that the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan equals the sum of (i) the aggregate number of shares previously issued under the Plan and the LLC Option Plan; (ii) the aggregate number of shares subject to then outstanding stock incentives granted under the Plan and the LLC Option Plan; and (iii) 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year. However, no more than 1,000,000 of the shares available for grant each year shall be available for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options, and no more than 10,000,000 shares resulting from such automatic adjustments may ever be issued during the term of the Plan.

Employment Agreements

     The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain executives and other key employees. The agreements provide for total severance payments of up to approximately $2.1 million for termination of employment for any reason other than cause. Payment terms vary from a lump sum payment to equal monthly installments over a period of not more than 24 months. No amounts have been accrued because the amounts cannot be reasonably estimated.

Legal and Other Matters

     The Company is currently in the process of implementing its warehouse management system at a large customer with whom it is having challenging discussions surrounding their delayed implementation, although no legal claims have been filed by either party to date. The Company believes that its contractual obligations to date have been met and it is entitled to the outstanding receivables of approximately $3 million from the customer at December 31, 2004. The Company is in discussions with this customer regarding resolution of this matter as well as payment; however, no such resolution has been reached at this time. While no assurance can be given regarding the outcome of the matter discussed, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of disputes, should the outcome of this matter be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

     From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its ordinary course of business. Many of the Company’s installations involve products that are critical to the operations of its clients’ businesses. Any failure in a Company product could result in a claim for substantial damages against the Company, regardless of the Company’s responsibility for such failure. Although the Company attempts to limit contractually its liability for damages arising from product failures or negligent acts or omissions, there can be no assurance the limitations of liability set forth in its contracts will be enforceable in all instances. The Company is not presently involved in any material litigation. However, it is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company believes that any liability that may arise as a result of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. The Company expenses legal costs associated with loss contingencies as such legal costs are incurred.

6. Acquisitions (continued)

     ReturnCentral

     On June 30, 2003, the Company acquired certain assets of ReturnCentral for a cash payment of approximately $1.5 million. The purchase price includes the earnout of approximately $900,000 recorded through December 31, 2004, and will be further adjusted for additional potential earnout based upon the total ReturnCentral software and services fees received and recognized prior to August 31, 2005. The earnout payment for the first twelve months is the sum of: (i) 30% of all ReturnCentral software fees up to and including $800,000; plus 33% of all ReturnCentral software fees greater than $800,000 and up to and including $1.3 million; plus 36% of all ReturnCentral software fees greater than $1.3 million and up to and including $2.0 million; plus 40% of all ReturnCentral software fees greater than $2.0 million; and (ii) 13% of all ReturnCentral service fees. The earnout payment, if any, for the following fourteen month period will be the sum of: (i) 30% of all ReturnCentral software fees up to and including $2.0 million; plus 33% of all ReturnCentral software fees greater than $2.0 million and up to and including $3.0 million; plus 36% of all ReturnCentral software fees greater than $3.0 million and up to and including $4.0 million; plus 40% of all ReturnCentral software fees greater than $4.0 million; and (ii) 13% of all ReturnCentral service fees. The results of operations are included in operations after June 30, 2003. The entire purchase price has been recorded as acquired developed technology and is being amortized over the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product (5 years) including the period being reported on.

     Streamsoft

     On October 14, 2003, the Company closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Streamsoft, a provider of warehouse optimization software. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Streamsoft for a purchase price of approximately $2.1 million. The purchase price includes the earnout of approximately $250,000 recorded through December 31, 2004, and will be further adjusted for additional potential earnout based upon the total Streamsoft software fees received and recognized prior to September 30, 2005. The earnout payment shall be calculated as 10% of all net software fees recognized, and is subject to additional terms and conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the results of operations are included in operations after October 14, 2003. The purchase price has been allocated to net assets acquired of $0.2 million, acquired developed technology of $0.2 million, and other intangible assets of $1.7 million. Acquired developed technology is being amortized over the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product (5 years) including the period being reported on. Approximately $0.1 million of other intangible assets is being amortized over a ten-year useful life. The remaining $1.6 million of other intangible assets is goodwill, which is not being amortized, but is being reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.

     Avere

     On January 23, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets of Avere, Inc. (“Avere”), a provider of order management software. The Company completed the acquisition to enhance its product offering. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Avere for a purchase price of approximately $285,000 in cash plus a potential earnout based upon the total Avere software fees recognized by the Company during the period starting on December 31, 2003 and ending on December 31, 2005. The earnout payment, if any, will be calculated as the following percentages of all Avere software fees recognized during the earnout period: (i) 25% of the Avere software fees greater than $200,000 and up to and including $2 million; (ii) 30% of the Avere software fees greater than $2 million and up to and including $4 million; and (iii) 35% of the Avere software fees greater than $4 million. The entire purchase price has been recorded as acquired developed technology and is being amortized over the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining five-year estimated economic life of the product, including the period being reported on. The operating results of Avere were included in the Company’s operations after January 23, 2004.

     eebiznet

     On July 9, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets of eebiznet (“eebiznet”), whose primary business activities consist of the marketing and sale of supply software in France.

6. Acquisitions (continued)

starting April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2006. The earnout payment, if any, will be calculated based on the following percentages of all license sales in France recognized during the period: (i) 30% of the software fees in France up to 1.5 million ($2.05 million as of December 31, 2004); (ii) 40% of the software fees in France over 1.5 million ($2.05 million as of December 31, 2004); and (iii) 2% of all service revenues. The entire purchase price has been recorded on a preliminary basis to goodwill, as eebiznet’s assets and liabilities were immaterial. The operating results of eebiznet were included in the Company’s operations after July 9, 2004.

7. In-Process Research and Development, Acquisition-Related Expenses and Restructuring Charge

     In-process research and development represents the value assigned in a purchase business combination to research and development projects of the acquired business that had commenced but had not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. In accordance with SFAS No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” as clarified by FASB Interpretation No. 4, amounts assigned to in-process research and development meeting the above stated criteria must be charged to expense as part of the allocation of the purchase price of the business combination. Accordingly, a charge totaling $1,470,000 was recorded during 2002 as part of the allocation of the purchase price related to the acquisition of Logistics.com.

     During the third quarter of 2003, the Company recorded expenses of approximately $885,000 relating to fees incurred in connection with two potential acquisitions that the Company decided not to consummate. The acquisition-related expenses are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The expenses consist primarily of legal, accounting and travel expenses associated with the two transactions.

     During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a restructuring charge relating to an internal reorganization of $893,000. The restructuring charge is presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The reorganization more closely aligns the Company’s customer advocates with implementation teams, and the customer support organization with the technical teams. The charge consists primarily of one-time severance payments to 25 employees. The Company anticipates no further costs relating to this reorganization.

                         
    2003 Charge     Paid 2003     Paid 2004  
Employee severance-related costs
  $ 893,000     $ 857,000     $ 36,000  

8. Geographic and Product Information

     Geographic revenue information for the three years ended December 31, 2004 is based on the location of the customer. Long-lived asset information is based on the physical location of the assets at the end of each of the fiscal years.

     Revenue by geographic region/country was as follows (in thousands):

                         
    2002     2003     2004  
United States
  $ 142,296     $ 158,120     $ 166,267  
 
               
Europe
    29,333       31,920       35,532  
Rest of world
    4,092       6,774       13,120  
 
                 
Total international
    33,425       38,694       48,652  
 
               
Total revenue
  $ 175,721     $ 196,814     $ 214,919  
 
                 

     Total U.S. long-lived assets were approximately $66.8 million and $100.6 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Total international long-lived assets, which include assets in Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom, were approximately $3.8 million and $5.7 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

     The software products that the Company sells consist of the following Solution Groups: Warehouse Management, Transportation Management, Trading Partner Management, Distributed Order Management, Reverse Logistics Management, Performance Management and RFID. The Company has not included annual revenue for each of the solution groups in the footnote disclosures primarily to avoid the somewhat misleading method of allocating the revenue to the various products when multiple solutions groups are sold in a single contract. Although the Company currently uses the list prices as a basis for allocating the revenue to the various products, it does not believe that this information is always an accurate indicator of the products’ success because of the way certain products are added to contracts for incentive reasons, although the customer may not have the desire to implement that product immediately. The allocation method places revenue on products that could be significantly in excess of the value the customer would place on it in some cases. Therefore, the Company believes that disclosing the software and hosting fees for the Warehouse Management Solution Group and combining all other Solution Groups into one is the most useful information. Software and hosting fees for the three years ended December 31, 2004 were as follows (in thousands):

                         
    2002     2003     2004  
Warehouse Management Solution Group
  $ 33,653     $ 25,704     $ 28,455  
All Other Solution Groups
    6,580       17,525       21,431  
 
                 
 
                       
Total Software and Hosting Fees
  $ 40,233     $ 43,229     $ 49,886

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

     None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

     Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2004, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have concluded that, due to the material weakness discussed in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting on page 30 hereof, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

     The material weakness identified by management relates to revenue recognition for sales contracts with multiple revenue elements. The Company has historically been able to establish vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of its professional services and customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions (“maintenance”) but not for its software licenses and, therefore, typically allocates arrangement consideration using the residual method and recognizes software license revenue upon the execution of the software license contract, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Although various preventive controls have been in place, management believes that additional detective controls should be established to ensure that professional services and maintenance, when sold separately, are not being offered at prices substantially different than the established VSOE of fair market value for those services. If substantial variations from VSOE of fair value exist, then appropriate evidence of fair value does not exist and the Company would be required to recognize the revenue from software license fees ratably over the service period, rather than at the time of contract execution.

     The Company does not believe that the lack of these additional controls has resulted in errors in our revenue recognition. Based on analyses performed by management, we believe that appropriate VSOE of fair value did exist during 2004 for professional services and maintenance. We are improving our internal controls over monitoring VSOE of fair value as it relates to revenue recognition beginning immediately by:

  •   establishing a quarterly procedure of comparing actual professional services billing rates and rates for maintenance renewals to management’s assessment of VSOE of fair value for those services to ensure that VSOE of fair value still exists for our consulting and maintenance services, and
 
  •   providing additional training and documentation of our internal pricing policies to our sales, services, and product management personnel.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and the attestation report of Ernst & Young LLP on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are contained on pages 30, 31 and 32, respectively, of this report.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     There are no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

6 ARTICLE II PREMISES, TERM AND RENT 2.1 The Premises Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord Tenant's Space in the Building. The demise herein excludes exterior faces of exterior walls, the common stairways and stairwells, elevators and elevator shafts, fan rooms, electric and telephone closets, janitor closets, freight elevator vestibules, and pipe, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures serving exclusively or in common other parts of the Building, and if Tenant's Space includes less than the entire rentable area of any floor, excluding the common corridors, elevator lobbies and toilets located on such floor. Tenant's Space with such exclusions is hereinafter referred to as "the Premises." The term "Building" means the building erected on the Lot by Landlord, and the term "Lot" means all, and also any part of, the land described in Exhibit A in whole or in part and subject to minor adjustments of the lot boundaries. "Property" means the Building and Lot. 2.2 Rights to Use Common Facilities Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common, subject to reasonable rules of general applicability to tenants of the Building from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice: (a) the common lobbies, corridors, stairways, elevators and loading platform of the Building, and the pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment serving the Premises in common with others, (b) common walkways and driveways necessary for access to the Building, (c) if the Premises included less than the entire rentable area of any floor, the common toilets, corridors and elevator lobbies of such floor and (d) up to sixty-one (61) parking spaces in the common parking facilities adjacent to the Building (Tenant hereby acknowledging that parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis only); and no other appurtenant rights or easements. Landlord shall have no obligation to police the use of such parking spaces. Landlord shall have no obligation to police said common parking areas and Landlord shall not be responsible for money, jewelry, automobiles or other personal property lost in or stolen from the common parking areas. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to persons using the common parking areas or automobiles or other property therein, it being agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the use of the common parking areas shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees. 2.3 Landlord's Reservations Landlord reserves the right from, time to time, without unreasonable interference with Tenant's use: (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and other parts of the Building, or either, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises or Building, and (b) to alter or relocate any other common 7 facility, provided that substitutions are substantially equivalent or better. Installations, replacements and relocations referred to in clause (a) above shall be located so far as practicable in the central core area of the Building, above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises. 2.4 Commencement of Term Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for a period commencing on the date ("Term Commencement Date") which is the earlier of (a) the later of: (i) the Substantial Completion Date, as defined in Exhibit B to the Lease, or (ii) October 1, 2004, or (b) that date on which Tenant commences occupancy of any portion of the Premises for the Permitted Uses. If Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the Premises on the Scheduled Term Commencement Date because the Premises are not completed and ready for occupancy, or due to the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or occupant, or if repairs, improvements or decorations of the Premises or of the Building are not completed, or for any other reason, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give possession on said date, nor shall such failure affect the continuing validity of this Lease. 2.5 Monthly Fixed Rent Payments Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, monthly installments of 1/12 of (a) the Annual Fixed Rent, and (b) a charge ("Annual Electricity Charge") equal to $1.25 per annum for each square foot of Rentable Floor Area of the Premises for tenant electricity, as described in paragraph VI (A) of Exhibit E, in advance oil the first day of each month for each full calendar month of the Term, and the corresponding fraction of said amounts for any fraction of a calendar month at the beginning or end of the Term. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, Tenant shall pay the first monthly installment of Annual Fixed Rent on the execution of this Lease. Rental and any other sums due hereunder not paid within ten (10) days after the date due shall bear interest for each month or fraction thereof from the due date until paid computed at the annual rate of two (2) percentage points over the so-called prime rate then currently from time to time charged by Bank of America, or its successor, or at any applicable lesser maximum legally permissible rate for debts of this nature. In addition, should Tenant fail to pay when due rental and any other sums due hereunder, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses which are difficult to determine. Therefore, in such event, Landlord may assess against Tenant, from and after the tenth (10th) day following the date on which any sum shall be due and payable, a late payment fee ("Late Fee") equal to three (3%) percent of the sum due from Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby 8 agrees to waive the Late Fee with respect to the first two late payments (i.e., any payment which are not paid within ten (10) days of the due date) in any twelve month period. 2.6 Adjustment for Operating Expenses A. Terms used herein are defined as follows: (a) "Operating Year" shall mean any 12 month period elected by Landlord for operating purposes. Landlord's current Operating Year commences on January 1 of each year. If Landlord should elect to change said Operating Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof, and all calculations required to be made at the end of an Operating Year shall be made and proportioned accordingly. (b) "Operating Expenses for the Property" means the cost of operation of the Property which shall exclude costs of special services rendered to tenants (including Tenant) for which a separate charge is made, and items of expense referred to in Section 2.7 hereof, but shall include, without limitation, the following: Premiums for insurance carried with respect to the Property (including insurance against loss in case of fire or casualty, rent interruption insurance, and any insurance required by Landlord's mortgagee); compensation and all fringe benefits, Workmen's Compensation Insurance premiums and payroll taxes paid to, for or with respect to all persons engaged in the operating, repairing, maintaining, or cleaning of the Building or Lot; steam, water, sewer, gas, oil and telephone charges; electricity provided to the Building and to electricity provided to the tenanted areas ("Premises Electricity") to the extent that the cost of Premises Electricity exceeds $1.25 per square foot of Rentable Floor Area of the Building per annum); cost of building and cleaning supplies and equipment; related equipment, facilities and appurtenances, elevators, cooling and heating equipment, provided, however, that (i) if, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall replace any capital items or make any capital expenditures (collectively called "capital expenditures") the total amount of which is not properly includible in Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which they were made, there shall nevertheless be included in such Operating Expenses and in Operating Expenses for each succeeding Operating Year the amount, if any, by which the annual charge-off (determined as hereinafter provided) of such capital expenditure (less insurance proceeds, if any, collected by Landlord by reason of damage to, or destruction of the capital item being replaced) exceeds the annual charge-off of the capital expenditure for the item being replaced; and (ii) if a new capital item is acquired which does not replace another capital item which has worn out, has become obsolete, etc., then there shall be included in Operating Expenses for each Operating Year in which and after such capital expenditure is made the annual charge-off of such capital expenditure. (Annual charge-off shall be determined by (i) dividing the original cost of the capital expenditure by the number of years of life thereof [The useful life shall be reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of acquisition of the capital item], and (ii) adding to such quotient an interest factor computed 9 on the unamortized balance of such capital expenditure at an annual rate of either one percentage point over the AA Bond rate [Standard & Poor's corporate composite or, if unavailable, its equivalent] as reported in the financial press at the time the capital expenditure is made or, if the capital item is acquired through third-party financing, then the actual [including fluctuating] rate paid by Landlord in financing the acquisition of such capital item.) Provided, further, that if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of engineering estimates that a particular capital expenditure will effect savings in Operating Expenses for the Property, including, without limitation, energy-related costs, and that such annual projected savings will exceed the annual charge-off of capital expenditure computed as aforesaid, then and in such events, the annual charge-off shall be determined by dividing the amount of such capital expenditure by the number of years over which the projected amount of such savings shall fully amortize the cost of such capital item or the amount of such capital expenditure; and by adding the interest factor, as aforesaid; cost of maintenance, cleaning and repairs, cost of snow removal and care of landscaping; payments under service contracts with independent contractors or subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord; management fees to the extent the same do not exceed market rate management fees charged with respect to comparable buildings in the Town of Burlington; and all other expenses paid in connection with the operation, repair, cleaning and maintenance of the Building and Lot. (c) If during all or part of any Operating Year (including, without limitation, the base year of 2005), Landlord is not performing or furnishing any item to any portion of the Building (the cost of which, if performed or furnished by Landlord to such portion of the Property would constitute a part of Operating Expenses for the Property) on account of (a) such portion of the Building not being occupied or leased, (b) such item not being required or desired by a tenant, (c) any tenant itself obtaining or providing such item, or (d) any other reason, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing; then, Operating Expenses for the Property shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional costs and expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had performed or furnished such item to 100% of the Building. (d) "Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises", as may be adjusted pursuant to Subparagraph (c) hereof, shall mean Operating Expenses for the Property, multiplied by a fraction, which is equal to the greater of: (i) ninety-five (95%) percent of the ratio of the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant's Space to the Rentable Floor Area of the Building, or (ii) the ratio of the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant's Space to the Rentable Floor Area of the Building actually leased on an average annual basis for said Operating Year. (e) The "Statement" shall mean a statement rendered to Tenant by Landlord within 90 days or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible after the end of each Operating Year. The Statement shall be in reasonable detail, certified by Landlord's representative, and show the Operating Expenses for the Property, the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises, amounts already paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises (including Tenant's Operating Expense Base, amounts received on account of 10 Annual Electricity Charge pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, and amounts paid pursuant to part C of this Section 2.6), and the amount of Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises remaining due from or overpaid by Tenant for the Operating Year or fraction thereof covered by the Statement with appropriate prorations for fractional years. B. If with respect to any Operating Year of the Term, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises exceed Tenant's Operating Expense Base, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the amount of such excess ("Operating Expense Excess"). Such payments shall be made at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 2.6. Appropriate prorations shall be made for those periods at the beginning or end of the Term which are less than a full Operating Year (Tenant's Operating Expense Base includes the $1.25 per Rentable Square Foot charge for Annual Electricity Charge to be paid pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof). Within 30 days after the date of delivery of such Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall pay to Tenant as the case may be, the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.6, except that Landlord may at its option credit any amounts due from it to Tenant against monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent next thereafter coming due. C. Commencing on the first day of the first month following the delivery to Tenant of the Statement referred to above and on the first day of each month thereafter until delivery to Tenant of the next such Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of Tenant's share of increases in Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises anticipated by Landlord for the then current Operating Year, 1/12th of the difference between Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises calculated by Landlord on the basis of the most recent Operating Expense data or budget available from time to time, and Tenant's Operating Expense Base. 2.7 Adjustments for Real Estate Taxes Terms used herein are defined as follows: (a) "Tax Year" means the twelve-month period beginning July 1 each year during the Term or if the appropriate governmental tax fiscal period shall begin on any date other than July 1, such other date. (b) In any Tax Year when the Building has an average annual occupancy rate of less than 95% then "Tax Expenses Allocable to the premises" means the same proportion of the Landlord's Tax Expenses as Rentable Floor Area of Tenant's Space bears to 95% of the Rentable Floor Area of the Building. 11 (c) In any Tax Year when the Building has an average annual occupancy rate of 95% or more "Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises" means the same proportion of Landlord's Tax Expenses as Rentable Floor Area of Tenant's Space bears to the Rentable Floor Area of the Building actually leased on an average annual basis for said Tax Year. (d) "Landlord's Tax Expenses" with respect to any Tax Year means the aggregate Real Estate Taxes on the Property with respect to that Tax Year, reduced by any abatements actually received with respect to that Tax Year. (e) "Real Estate Taxes" means all taxes, levies, betterments, and special assessments of every kind and nature assessed by National, State, Municipal or by any other governmental authority on the Lot or the Building or the Property which the Landlord shall become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing, operating, use or occupancy of the Lot, the Building, and the Property or based upon rentals derived therefrom; charges, fees and assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other governmental services or purported benefits to the Building; service or user payments in lieu of taxes; and reasonable expenses of any proceedings for abatement of taxes. The amount of special taxes or special assessments to be included shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest, other than penalty interest, payable therein) of such special tax or special assessment required to be paid during the year in respect of which such taxes are being determined. There shall be excluded from such taxes all income, estate, succession, inheritance and transfer taxes; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem tax of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property, there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents received with respect to the Lot or Building or Property, or a federal, state, county, municipal, or other local income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy or charge (distinct from any now in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located) measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon any such gross rents, than any and all of such taxes shall be included within the term "Real Estate Taxes" but only to the extent that the same would be payable if the Lot, Building or Property were the only property of Landlord. If with respect to any Tax Year of the Term, Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises exceed Tenant's Tax Base, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the amount of such excess ("Tax Excess"). Such payments shall be made at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 2.7. Appropriate prorations shall be made for those periods at the beginning or end of the Term which are less than a full Tax Year. Within ninety (90) days or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible after the end of such first Tax Year or fraction thereof at the beginning of the Term, and of each succeeding Tax Year during the Term and within ninety (90) days or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible after lease termination, Landlord shall render to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding Tax Year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, Landlord's Tax Expenses for the Property, and Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises. 12 Commencing on the first day of the first month following the delivery to Tenant of the statement referred to above and on the first day of each month thereafter until delivery to Tenant of the next such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account toward Tenant's share of increases in Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises anticipated for the then current Tax Year, 1/12th of the total amount of Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises as shown on the most recent such statement delivered to Tenant. The statements to be rendered to Tenant referred to above shall also show for the preceding Tax Year amounts of Real Estate Taxes already paid by Tenant on account for such year and the amount of Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises remaining due from or overpaid by Tenant for the Tax Year or fraction thereof covered by the statement. Within 30 days after the date of delivery of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall pay to Tenant as the case may be, the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.7, except that Landlord may at its option credit any amounts due from it to Tenant against installments of Annual Fixed Rent and other charges due under the Lease next thereafter coming due; provided however, that if such statement is delivered after the termination of the term of the Lease, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the amount of any overpayment on account of Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises to the extent that it exceeds any amount then due from Tenant to Landlord. To the extent that Real Estate Taxes shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments for periods less than a Tax Year, the foregoing statement shall be rendered and payments made on account of such installments with respect to such periods rather than with respect to such full Tax Year. 2.8 Due Date, Additional Rent, No Offsets Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all sums, amounts, items or charges payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be considered as additional rent, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the first day of the month following the date on which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount payable or on the tenth day after the giving of such notice, whichever shall be later. Any such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis of such additional rent. Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without offset or deduction. ARTICLE III TENANT ALTERNATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION 3.1 Alterations and Additions by Tenant (a) This Section 3.1 shall apply before and during the Term. Tenant shall not make alterations and additions to Tenant's Space except in accordance with plans and 13 specifications and a time schedule therefor first approved by Landlord in writing. All alterations and additions to Tenant's Space shall equal or exceed the specifications and quantities provided in Exhibit D. No amendments or additions to Tenant's approved plans shall be made without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable for withholding approval of any alterations or additions which (a) involve or might affect any structural or exterior element of the Building, any area or element outside of the Premises, or any facility serving any area of the Building outside the Premises, or (b) will delay completion of the Premises or Building or (c) will require unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal office use on Lease termination or increase the cost of construction or of insurance or taxes on the Building or of the services called for by Section 4.1 unless Tenant first gives assurance acceptable to Landlord for payment of such increased cost and that such readaption will be made prior to such termination without expense to landlord. (b) All alterations and additions shall be part of the Building unless and until Landlord shall specify the same for removal pursuant to Section 5.2. Landlord may elect to require Tenant at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed at the Term Commencement Date. (c) All of Tenant's alterations and additions and installation of furnishings shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord in such manner as to not damage the Property or interfere with Building construction or operation and, except for installation of furnishings, shall be performed by Landlord's general contractor or by contractors or workmen first approved by Landlord. In the event that Tenant shall engage its own contractors to perform such work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of services provided by Landlord or Landlord's contractor to Tenant and to Tenant's contractors while performing such work, which services shall include, but not be limited to, cleaning, security, rubbish removal, electricity, toilet facilities, and elevators. Tenant's contract with any such contractors shall include the Required Tenant Work General Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit G, and Landlord shall have the right to enforce such General Conditions directly against any of Tenant's contractors. Tenant shall defend, save harmless, exonerate and indemnify Landlord from all injury, loss or damage to any person or property occasioned by or growing out of such work. Tenant agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, use any contractors and/or materials if their use will create any difficulty, whether in the nature of a labor dispute or otherwise, with other contractors and/or labor engaged by Tenant or Landlord or others in the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Building or any part thereof. Except for work by Landlord's general contractor, Tenant, before its work is started, shall: secure all licenses and permits necessary therefor; deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all its contractors and subcontractors and the estimated cost of all labor and material to be furnished by them; and cause each contractor to carry Workmen's Compensation insurance in statutory amounts covering all the contractor's and subcontractor's employees, Automobile Liability Insurance and comprehensive public liability insurance and property damage 14 insurance with such limits as Landlord may reasonably require but in no event less than, with respect to public liability insurance, the applicable Minimum Liability Insurance Limit, as hereinafter defined and with respect to property damage insurance, the applicable Minimum Liability Insurance Limit (all insurance to be written in companies approved by Landlord and insuring Landlord and Tenant as well as the contractors, and to deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance. With respect to any alteration, addition, or installation made by, or on behalf of Tenant, the cost of which exceeds One Hundred Thousand ($100,000.00) Dollars (referred to herein as "Bonded Project"), no installations or work shall be undertaken or begun by Tenant until Tenant has either: (i) procured appropriate surety payment and performance bonds which shall name Landlord as an additional obligee and filed lien bonds on behalf of such contractors, laborers and suppliers, or (ii) obtained other appropriate protective measures, approved by Landlord. The "Minimum Liability Insurance Limit" for any general contractor which performs construction work within the Premises shall be $5,000,000.00, and the Minimum Liability Insurance Limit for all other contractors (e.g. furniture movers, telecommunications installation contractors, etc.) and all subcontractors shall be $2,000,000.00. (d) In no event shall any material or equipment be incorporated in or added to the Premises, so as to become a fixture or otherwise a part of the Building, in connection with any such alteration, decoration, installation, addition or improvement which is subject to any lien, charge, mortgage or other encumbrance of any kind whatsoever or is subject to any security interest or any form of title retention agreement. Any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises or the Building for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant's expense, by filing the bond required by law or otherwise. If Tenant fails so to discharge any lien, Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for or any expense or cost incurred by Landlord in so doing within fifteen (15) days after rendition of a bill therefor. (e) All installations or work done by Tenant shall be at its own expense and shall at all times comply with (i) laws, rules, orders and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof; (ii) orders, rules and regulations of any Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other body hereafter constituted exercising similar functions, and governing insurance rating bureaus; (iii) Rules and Regulations of Landlord; and (iv) plans and specifications prepared by and at the expense of Tenant theretofore submitted to and approved by Landlord. All construction work required or permitted by this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner. Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work done on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, or independent contractors. 3.2 Real Estate Taxes on Leasehold Improvements If under Massachusetts law or regulations, the tax assessor is required to include leasehold (real property) improvements in determining the assessed value of the Building, then to the extent that Tenant makes leasehold improvements (including Tenant's original installation and Tenant's subsequent alterations, additions, substitutions and improvements) which are in excess of the Building Standard Tenant Improvements set forth in Exhibit D, 15 whether done prior to or after the commencement of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the real estate taxes attributable to the value of such excess leasehold improvements throughout the Term of this Lease within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. 3.3 Landlord's Right to Make Alterations Landlord reserves the right, exercisable by itself or its nominee, at any time and from time to time without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor or otherwise affecting Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements (collectively "Alterations') in or to the Building (including the Premises, provided however, that no Alterations shall be made with the Premises in the volume below the ceiling, outside of the walls, and above the floor without obtaining Tenant's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed) and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, escalators, and stairways thereof, as it may deem necessary or desirable, and to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building, provided, however, that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right to access to, or unreasonable interference with the use of the premises by Tenant. Nothing contained in this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability of Tenant with respect to making any repair, replacement or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of any governmental or other authority. Landlord reserves the right to adopt at any time and from time to time to change the name or address of the Building. Neither this Lease nor any use by Tenant shall give Tenant any right or easement for the use of any door or any passage or any concourse connecting with any other building or to any public convenience, and the use of such doors, passes and concourses and of such conveniences may be regulated or discontinued at any time and from time to time by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without affecting the obligation of Tenant hereunder or incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, provided, however, that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right to access to, or unreasonable interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the necessity of Landlord or its agents entering the Premises for any of the purposes in this Lease authorized, or for repairing the Premises or any portion of the Building, however the necessity may occur. Subject to Section 8.18, in case Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord's part, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord's control, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor except as expressly otherwise provided in Section 6.1 shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant's favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. 16 Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed; provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency repairs Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to Tenant by reason thereof. ARTICLE IV LANDLORD'S COVENANTS; INTERRUPTIONS AND DELAYS Landlord covenants: 4.1 Services Furnished by Landlord To furnish services, utilities, facilities and supplies ("Landlord's Services") set forth in Exhibit E, which Landlord's Services Landlord shall have the right to change, from time to time, provided that Landlord's Services (i.e., at the time that Landlord changes such services) shall be equal in quality to those customarily provided by landlords in comparable buildings in the Burlington area. 4.2 Additional Services Available to Tenant To furnish, at Tenant's expense, reasonable additional Building operation services which are usual and customary in similar office buildings in the Burlington area upon reasonable advance request of Tenant at reasonable and equitable rates from time to time established by Landlord. 4.3 Additional Air Conditioning Equipment In the event Tenant requires additional air conditioning for business machines, meeting rooms or other special purposes, or because of occupancy or excess electrical loads, any additional air conditioning units, chillers, condensers, compressors, ducts, piping and other equipment, such additional air conditioning equipment will be installed and maintained by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense (provided however, that Landlord's Contribution, as defined in Paragraph C of Exhibit B towards the cost of installing such equipment), but only if Tenant has obtained Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and if the same will not cause damage or injury to the Building or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere with or disturb other tenants; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in such an amounts as will 17 compensate it for the cost incurred by it in operating such additional air conditioning equipment. 4.4 Roof, Exterior Wall, Floor Slab, and Common Facility Repair Except as otherwise provided in Article VI to make such repairs to the roof, exterior walls, floor slabs, and common areas and facilities as may be necessary to keep them in serviceable condition, the expense of which shall be charged in accordance with Section 2.6. 4.5 Door Signs To provide and install, at Landlord's expense, letters or numerals on doors in the Premises to identify Tenant's name and Building address; all such letters and numerals shall be in the building standard graphics and no others shall be used or permitted on the Premises if the same are visible from anywhere outside of the Premises other than the elevator lobby. 4.6 Quiet Enjoyment Landlord covenants that if, and so long as, Tenant keeps and performs each and every covenant, agreement, term, provision and condition herein contained on the part and on behalf of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall quietly enjoy the Premises from and against the claims of all persons claiming by, through or under Landlord subject, nevertheless, to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and to any instrument to which this Lease is subject and subordinate. 4.7 Indemnification Landlord, subject to the limitations on Landlord's liability contained elsewhere in this Lease, agrees to hold Tenant harmless and to defend, exonerate and indemnify Tenant from and against any and all claims, liabilities, or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any third party for damage to property or injuries to persons sustained or occurring in the Building to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or contractors. 4.8 Liability Insurance Landlord shall maintain, in responsible companies qualified to do business, and in good standing, in Massachusetts public liability insurance covering the Premises insuring Landlord with a limit of not less than $5,000,000.00.

Tenant will remove any personal property from the Building and the Premises upon or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease and any such property which shall remain in the Building or the Premises thereafter shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned, and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale and apply the same at its option, against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving any storage, any arrears of Annual Fixed Rent, additional or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under Section 7.2 hereof or pursuant to law. 5.3 Use A. From the commencement of the Term to only use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted uses, and not to injure or deface the Premises, Building or Lot, nor to permit in the Premises any auction sale, or inflammable fluids or chemicals, or nuisance, 19 or the emission from the Premises of any objectionable noise or odor, nor to use or devote the Premises or any part thereof for any purpose other than the Permitted Uses, nor any use thereof which is inconsistent with the maintenance of the Building as an office building of first class quality in maintenance, use and occupancy, or which is improper, offensive, contrary to law or ordinance or liable to invalidate or increase the premiums for any insurance on the Building or its contents or liable to render necessary any alteration or addition to the Building. B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease contained, if Tenant shall abandon or vacate the Premises for a period of no less than one hundred twenty (120) days, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. Such termination shall not be deemed to be based upon the default of Tenant under this Lease, provided that Tenant is then in compliance with all of its obligations under the Lease. 5.4 Obstructions, Items Visible from Exterior; Rules and Regulations Not to obstruct in any manner any portion of the Building not hereby leased or any portion thereof or of the Lot used by Tenant in common with others; not without prior consent of Landlord to permit the painting or placing of any signs, curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials or flagpoles, or the like, visible from outside the Premises; and to comply with all reasonable Rules and Regulations now or hereafter made by Landlord, or which Tenant has been given notice, for the care and use of the Building and Lot and their facilities and approaches; Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of other occupants of the Building to conform to such Rules and Regulations. 5.5 Safe Appliances To keep the Premises equipped with all safety appliances required by law or ordinance or any other regulation of any public authority because of any use made by Tenant other than normal office use, and to procure all licenses and permits so required because of such use and, if requested by Landlord, to do any work so required because of such use, it being understood that the foregoing provisions shall be construed to broaden in any way Tenant's Permitted Uses. 5.6 Assignment; Sublease A. Except as provided in this Section 5.6: (i) Tenant covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the term and estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and that neither the Premises, nor any part thereof will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, or used or occupied, or permitted to be used or occupied, or utilized for desk space for mailing privileges, by anyone other than Tenant, or for any use or purposes other than the Permitted Uses stated in Article 1, and (ii) in no event shall Tenant have the right to sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, or to offer or advertise the 20 Premises, or any portion thereof, for subletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby expressly understood and agreed, however, if Tenant is a corporation, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord's consent and without giving Landlord a Recapture Offer to assign its interest in this Lease to any corporation ("Permitted Tenant Successor") into which Tenant is merged or with which Tenant is consolidated which corporation shall have a net worth at least equal to that of Tenant immediately prior to such merger or consolidation upon the express condition that Assignee and Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement ("Assumption Agreement") in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby Assignee shall agree to be independently bound by and upon all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, and whereby Assignee shall expressly agree that the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future assignments and transfers. B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease contained: 1. Tenant shall, prior to offering or advertising the Premises, or any portion thereof for sublease or assignment, other than to a Permitted Tenant Successor or Affiliated Entity, as defined in this Section 5.6, give Landlord a Recapture Offer, as hereinafter defined. 2. For the purposes hereof a "Recapture Offer" shall be defined as a notice in writing from Tenant to Landlord which: (a) States that Tenant desires to sublet the Premises, or a portion thereof, or to assign its interest in this Lease. (b) Identifies the affected portion of the Premises ("Recapture Premises"). (c) Identifies the period of time ("Recapture Period") during which Tenant proposes to sublet the Recapture Premises or to assign its interest in the Lease. (d) Offers to Landlord to terminate the Lease in respect of the Recapture Premises (in the case of a proposed assignment of Tenant's interest in the Lease or a subletting for the remainder of the term of the Lease) or to suspend the term of the Lease pro tanto in respect of the Recapture Period (i.e., the term of the Lease in respect of the Recapture Premises shall be terminated during the Recapture Period and 21 Tenant's rental obligations shall be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the Total Rentable Area of the Recapture Premises to the Total Rentable Area of the premises then demised to Tenant). 3. Landlord shall have the applicable Offer Period, as hereinafter defined, to accept a Recapture Offer. If Landlord does not timely give written notice to Tenant accepting a Recapture Offer, then Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a sublease of the Recapture Premises for the Recapture Period, or an assignment of Tenant's interest in the Lease, as the case may be, to a Qualified Transferee, as hereinafter defined. If the Recapture Premises is 10,000 square feet of Total Rentable Area or less, then the Offer Period shall be thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the Recapture Offer in question. If the Recapture Premises exceeds 10,000 square feet of Total Rentable Area, then the Offer Period shall be forty-five (45) days after Landlord receives the Recapture Offer in question. 4. For the purposes hereof, a "Qualified Transferee" shall be defined as a person, firm or corporation which, in Landlord's reasonable opinion: (a) is financially responsible and of good reputation; (b) is engaged in a business, the functional aspects of which, with respect to the premises, are similar to the use of other premises made by other office space tenants in the Building; and (c) is not a tenant or subtenant of premises in the Building. 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph B contained: (a) If Tenant is in default of its obligations under the Lease at the time that it makes the aforesaid offer to Landlord, such default shall be deemed to be a "reasonable" reason for Landlord withholding its consent to any proposed subletting or assignment; and 22 (b) If Tenant does not enter into a sublease with a subtenant (or an assignment to an assignee, as the case may be) approved by Landlord, as aforesaid, on or before the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the earlier of: (x) the expiration of the applicable Offer Period, or (y) the date that Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord will not accept Tenant's offer to terminate or suspend the Lease, then Landlord shall have the right arbitrarily to withhold its consent to any subletting or assignment proposed to be entered into by Tenant after the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180) day period unless Tenant again offers, in accordance with this Paragraph B, either to terminate or to suspend the Lease in respect of the portion of the premises proposed to be sublet (or in respect of the entirety of the premises in the event of a proposed assignment, as the case may be). If Tenant shall make any subsequent offers to terminate or suspend the Lease pursuant to this Paragraph B, any such subsequent offers shall be treated in all respects as if it is Tenant's first offer to suspend or terminate the Lease pursuant to this Paragraph B, provided that the period of time Landlord shall have in which to accept or reject such subsequent offer shall be fifteen (15) days. C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord's consent and without giving Landlord a Recapture Offer to assign its interest in this Lease and to sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, to an Affiliated Entity, as hereinafter defined, so long as such entity remains in such relationship to Tenant, and provided that prior to or simultaneously with such assignment or sublease, such Affiliated Entity executes and delivers to Landlord an Assumption Agreement. For the purposes hereof, an "Affiliated Entity" shall be defined as any entity which is controlled by, is under common control with, or which controls Tenant. For the purposes hereof, control shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the beneficial interest of the entity in question. D. If Tenant is an individual who uses and/or occupies the Premises with partners, or Tenant is a partnership, then: (i) Each present and future partner shall be personally bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed; and 23 (ii) In confirmation of the foregoing, Landlord may (but without being required to do so) request (and Tenant shall duly comply) that Tenant, at the time that Tenant admits any new partner to its partnership, shall require each such new partner to execute an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby such new partner shall agree to be personally bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, without regard to the time when such new partner is admitted to partnership or when any obligations under any such covenants, etc., accrue. E. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the premises or on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in any such other person, firm or corporation any right or interest in this Lease or in the premises or be deemed to effect or evidence any consent of Landlord, it being expressly understood that any such listing is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by written notice to Tenant. F. If this Lease be assigned, or if the premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than tenant, Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, then due and hereafter becoming due, but no assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment or subletting shall not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in the first sentence of this Section 5.6 or the continuing liability of the Tenant named in Article I as the party-Tenant under this Lease. No assignment or subletting or use of the premises by an affiliate of Tenant shall affect the Permitted Uses for which the premises may be used as stated in Article 1. G. In the event of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof to anyone other than a Permitted Tenant Successor or an Affiliated Entity, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty (50%) percent of any Net Sublease Profits (as defined below), payable in accordance with the following. In the case of an assignment of this Lease, "Net Sublease Profit": (1) shall be defined as a lump sum in the amount (if any) by which any consideration paid by the assignee in consideration of or as an inducement to Tenant to make said assignment exceeds the reasonable attorneys' fees, construction costs and brokerage fees incurred by Tenant in order to effect such assignment (collectively, "Sublease Expenses"), and (2) be payable concurrently with the payment to be made by the assignee to Tenant. In the case of a sublease, "Net Sublease Profit": (3) shall be defined as a monthly amount equal to the amount by which the sublease rent and other charges payable by the subtenant to Tenant under the sublease exceed the sum of the rent and other charges payable under this Lease for the premises or allocable to the sublet portion thereof, plus a monthly amount equal to the Sublease Expenses divided by the 24 number of months in the term of the sublease, and (4) shall be payable on a monthly basis concurrently with the subtenant's payment of rent to Tenant under the sublease. 5.7 Indemnity; Insurance To defend with counsel first approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), save harmless, and indemnify Landlord from any liability for injury, loss, accident or damage to any person or property, and from any claims, actions, proceedings and expenses and costs in connection therewith (including without limitation reasonable counsel fees) arising from (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or of Tenant's employees, agents or contractors, or (b) from any use made or thing done or occurring on the Premises not due to the omission, fault, willful act, negligence or other misconduct of Landlord or of Landlord's employees, agents, or contractors; to maintain in responsible companies qualified to do business, and in good standing, in Massachusetts public liability insurance covering the Premises insuring Landlord as well as Tenant with limits which shall, at the commencement of the Term, be at least equal to those stated in Article I and from time to time during the Term shall be for such higher limits, if any as are customarily carried in the Burlington area with respect to similar properties, and Workmen's Compensation Insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant's employees working in the Premises, and to deposit promptly with Landlord certificates for such insurance, and all renewals thereof bearing the endorsement that the policies will not be cancelled until after ten (10) days' written notice to Landlord. 5.8 Personal Property at Tenant's Risk That all of the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant, and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant which, during the continuance of this Lease or any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, may be on the Premises or elsewhere in the Building or on the Lot, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the whole or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the leakage or bursting of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, by theft or from any other cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or be borne by Landlord, except that Landlord shall in no event be indemnified or held harmless or exonerated from any liability to Tenant or to any person, for any injury, loss, damage or liability to the extent such indemnity, hold harmless or exoneration is prohibited by law or, subject to Section 8.9, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord's agents, employees or contractors. 5.9 Right of Entry To permit Landlord and its agents: to examine the Premises at reasonable times and, if Landlord shall so elect, to make any repairs or replacements Landlord may deem necessary; to remove, at Tenant's expense, any alterations, additions, signs, curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, 25 aerials, flagpoles, or the like not consented to in writing; and to show the Premises to prospective Tenants during the nine months preceding expiration of the Term and to prospective purchasers and mortgagees at all reasonable times. Without incurring any liability to Tenant, Landlord may permit access to the Premises and open the same, whether or not Tenant shall be present, upon any demand or any receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, sheriff, marshall or court officer entitled to, or reasonably purporting to be entitled to, such access for the purposes of taking possession of, or removing, Tenant's property or for any other lawful purposes (but this provision and any action by Landlord hereunder shall not be deemed a recognition by Landlord that the person or official making such demand has any right or interest in or to this Lease, or in or to the premises), or upon demand of any representation of the fire, police, building, sanitation or other department of the city, state or federal governments. 5.10 Floor Load; Prevention of Vibration and Noise Not to place a load upon the Premises exceeding an average rate of 70 pounds of live load per square foot of floor area (partitions shall be considered as part of the live load); Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes, files and heavy equipment which Tenant desires to place in the Premises so as properly to distribute the weight thereof; Tenant's business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise that may be transmitted to the Building structure or to any other space in the Building shall be so installed, maintained and used by Tenant as to eliminate such vibration or noise. 5.11 Personal Property Taxes To pay promptly when due all taxes which may be imposed upon personal property (including without limitation, fixtures and equipment) in the Premises to whomever assessed. 5.12 Payment of Litigation Expenses In the event of any litigation between the parties, the losing party will reimburse the prevailing party for its reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred in connection with such litigation. 5.13 Compliance with Insurance Regulations Not to do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises which will invalidate or be in conflict with the terms of the Massachusetts standard form of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance policies covering the Building and the fixtures and property therein; Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all rules, regulations, and requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or any state or other similar body having jurisdiction, and shall not knowingly do or permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises 26 in a manner which increases the rate of fire insurance upon the building or on any property or equipment located therein. ARTICLE VI CASUALTY AND TAKING 6.1 Termination or Restoration; Rent Adjustment A. In case during the Term all or any material part of the Premises or the Building or the Lot are damaged materially by fire or other casualty or by action of public or other authority in consequence thereof, or are taken by eminent domain or Landlord receives compensable damage by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority, this Lease shall terminate at Landlord's election, which may be made notwithstanding Landlord's entire interest may have been divested, by notice given to Tenant within three (3) months after the casualty or taking specifying the effective date of termination. The effective date of termination specified by Landlord shall not be less than 15 nor more than 30 days after the date of notice of such termination. Unless terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such damage or taking, subject, however, to the following provisions. If in any such case the Premises are rendered unfit for use and occupation and this Lease is not so terminated, Landlord shall use due diligence (following the expiration of the period in which Landlord may terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1), subject to the then applicable statutes, building codes, zoning ordinances, and regulations of any governmental authority and at the expense of Landlord (but only to the extent of insurance proceeds made available to Landlord) to put the Premises, or in case of taking what may remain thereof (excluding in case of both casualty and taking any items installed or paid for by Tenant which Tenant may be required to remove pursuant to Section 5.2), into proper condition for use and occupation and a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent according to the nature and extent of the injury shall be abated from the date of such casualty or taking until the Premises or such remainder shall have been put by Landlord in such condition; and in case of taking which permanently reduces the area of the Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent shall be abated for the remainder of the Term. B. In the event that the premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty to such an extent so as to render the premises untenantable, and if Landlord shall fail to substantially complete said repairs or restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such fire or other casualty for any reason other than Tenant's fault, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice as follows: (1) Said notice shall be given after said one hundred eighty day period. 27 (2) Said notice shall set forth an effective date which is not earlier than thirty (30) days after Landlord receives said notice. (3) If said repairs or restoration are substantially complete on or before the date thirty (30) days (which thirty-(30)-day period shall be extended by the length of any delays caused by Tenant or Tenant's contractors) after Landlord receives such notice, said notice shall have no further force and effect. (4) If said repairs or restoration are not substantially complete on or before the date thirty (30) days (which thirty-(30)-day period shall be extended by the length of any delays caused by Tenant or Tenant's contractors) after Landlord receives such notice, the Lease shall terminate as of said effective date. 6.2 Eminent Domain Except for award to Tenant for moving expenses and lost profits, and except for any separate award which does not reduce Landlord's award (collectively "Tenant Awards"), Landlord reserves to itself any and all rights to receive awards made for damages to the Premises and Building and Lot and the leasehold hereby created, or any one or more of them, accruing by reason of exercise of eminent domain or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority. Tenant hereby releases and assigns to Landlord all Tenant's rights to all such awards other than Tenant Awards, and covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from to time request. Tenant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver in Tenant's name and behalf all such further assignments thereof if Tenant fails, without cause, to execute such assignments within ten (10) days of written request therefore. 6.3 Temporary Taking In the event of taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (i) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not abate, and (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall then pay to Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing Tenant's obligations under Section 5.2 with respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such payment shall be excused from such obligations. 28 ARTICLE VII DEFAULT 7.1 Events of Default If (a) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of Tenant's covenants or agreements herein, including the obligation to pay, when due, Annual Fixed Rent or additional rent, and such failure continues, in the case of Annual Fixed Rent or additional rent, for more than ten (10) days, or in any other case, for more than thirty (30) days and such additional time, if any, as is reasonably necessary to cure the default if the default is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured in thirty (30) days, provided however, that no such notice need be given and no such default shall be curable if on two (2) prior occasions within the same calendar year there had been a default which had been cured after notice thereof had been given by Landlord to Tenant as herein provided; or if Tenant or any guarantor or any guarantor of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, (b) is not paying its debts as such debts become due, becomes insolvent, seeks relief under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or any insolvency or similar law of any jurisdiction), or (c) proposes any dissolution, liquidation, composition, financial reorganization or recapitalization with creditors; or (d) makes an assignment or trust mortgage for the benefit of creditors or (e) if a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar agent is appointed or takes possession with respect to any property or business of Tenant or such guarantor, or (f) any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease, or the term and estate thereby created, would (by operation of law or otherwise) devolve upon or pass to any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted under Section 5.6 hereof then, in any such case, whether or not the Term shall have begun, Landlord may immediately, or at any time while such default exists and without further notice, terminate this Lease by entry by Landlord or upon the giving of notice to Tenant, and this Lease shall come to an end as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. 7.2 Damages In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section 7.1 or shall be otherwise terminated for breach of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants to pay forthwith to Landlord, as compensation, the excess of the total rent reserved for the residue of the Term over the rental value of the Premises for said residue of the Term. In calculating the rent reserved there shall be included, in addition to the Annual Fixed Rent and all additional rent, the value of all other considerations agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant for said residue. Tenant further covenants as an additional and cumulative obligation after any such ending to pay punctually to Landlord all the sums and perform all the obligations which Tenant covenants in this Lease to pay and to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same 29 time as if this Lease had not been terminated. In calculating the amounts to be paid by Tenant under the next foregoing covenant Tenant shall be credited with any amount paid to Landlord as compensation as in this Section 7.2 provided and also with the net proceeds of any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the Premises, after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, fees for legal services and expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting, it being agreed by Tenant that Landlord may (i) relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such concessions and free rent as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same, and no action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under reletting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant's liability as aforesaid. In lieu of any other damages or indemnity and in lieu of full recovery by Landlord of all sums payable under all the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant, at any time after this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section 7.1 or is otherwise terminated for breach of any obligation of Tenant and before such full recovery, elect to recover, and Tenant shall thereupon pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the aggregate of the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent accrued under Section 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 in the 12 months ended next following such termination plus the amount of Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent of any kind accrued and unpaid at the time of termination and less the amount of any recovery by Landlord under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2 up to the time of payment of such liquidated damages. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above. 7.3 Landlord's Default A. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations under the Lease unless Tenant has given Landlord written notice of such default, and Landlord has failed to cure said default within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives such notice or such longer period of time as Landlord may reasonably require to cure such default. B. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate the Lease nor shall Tenant's obligation to pay 30 Annual Fixed Rent or other charges under the Lease abate based upon any default by Landlord of its obligations under the Lease. C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, if the Premises shall lack any service which Landlord is required to provide hereunder (thereby rendering the Premises or a portion thereof untenantable) so that, for the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period, as hereinafter defined, the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant's business is materially adversely affected and if Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the period of untenantability as the direct result of such lack of service, then, provided that Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the entirety of the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period and that such untenantability and Landlord's inability to cure such condition is not caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors, Annual Fixed Rent, Operating Expense Excess and Tax Excess shall thereafter be abated in proportion to such untenantability until the day such condition is completely corrected.

Tenant agrees not to record this Lease, but upon request of either party both parties shall execute and deliver a notice of this Lease in form appropriate for recording or registration, and if this Lease is terminated before the term expires, an instrument in such form acknowledging the date of termination. Whenever any notice, approval, consent, request or election is given or made pursuant to this Lease it shall be in writing. Communications and payments shall be addressed if to Landlord at Landlord's Original Address or at such other address as may have been specified by prior notice to Tenant, and if to Tenant, at Tenant's Original Address or at such other place as may have been specified by prior notice to Landlord. Any communication so addressed shall be deemed duly given when mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested or reputable national overnight courier. If Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time designates some other person to receive payments or notices, all payments or notices thereafter by Tenant shall be paid or given to the person designated until notice to the contrary is received by Tenant from Landlord. The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that only the original Landlord named herein shall be liable for obligations accruing before the beginning of the Term, and thereafter the original Landlord named herein and each successive owner of the Premises shall be liable only for obligations accruing during the period of ownership. 8.3 Landlord's Failure to Enforce The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or with respect to such failure of Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations referred to in Section 5.4, whether heretofore or hereafter adopted by Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation, nor shall the failure of Landlord to enforce any of said Rules and Regulations against any other tenant of the Building be deemed a waiver of any such Rule or Regulation. The receipt by Landlord of Annual Fixed Rent or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, or by Tenant, unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party to be charged. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant, to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty. 32 8.4 Acceptance of Partial Payments of Rent; Delivery of Keys No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord's agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or surrender of the Premises. 8.5 Cumulative Remedies The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions. 8.6 Partial Invalidity If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 8.7 Self Help If Tenant shall at any time default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform such obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default. In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. All sums so paid by Landlord (together with interest at the rate of 2 1/2 percentage points over the then prevailing prime rate in Boston as set by The First National Bank in Boston) and all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately or on demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. 33 8.8 Tenant's Estoppel Certificate Tenant agrees from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days' prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent and to perform its other covenants under this Lease and that there are no uncured defaults of Landlord or Tenant under this lease (or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets, counterclaims, or defaults, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Annual Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges have been paid. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 8.8 maybe relied upon by a prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises or any prospective assignee of any mortgagee of the Premises. Time is of the essence in respect of any such requested certificate, Tenant hereby acknowledging the importance of such certificates in mortgage financing arrangements, prospective sale and the like. 8.9 Waiver of Subrogation In any case in which Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord any loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense suffered or incurred by Landlord, Landlord shall allow to Tenant as an offset against the amount thereof (i) the net proceeds of any insurance collected by Landlord for or on account of such loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, provided that the allowance of such offset does not invalidate or prejudice the policy or policies under which such proceeds were payable, and (ii) if such loss, cost, damage, liability or expense shall have been caused by a peril against which Landlord has agreed to procure insurance coverage under the terms of this Lease, the amount of' such insurance coverage, whether or not actually procured by Landlord. In any case in which Landlord or Landlord's agents shall be obligated to pay to Tenant any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant, Tenant shall allow to Landlord and Landlord's agents as an offset against the amount thereof (i) the net proceeds of any insurance collected by Tenant for or on account of such loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense, provided that the allowance of such offset does not invalidate the policy or policies under which such proceeds were payable and (ii) the amount of any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense caused by a peril covered by fire insurance with the broadest form of property insurance generally available on property in buildings of the type of the Building, whether or not actually procured by Tenant. The parties hereto shall each procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any property insurance policy covering the premises and the Building and personal property, fixtures and equipment located thereon and therein, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery. Having obtained such clauses and/or endorsements each party hereby agrees that it will not 34 make any claim against or seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from firm or other perils covered by such property insurance. 8.10 All Agreements Contained This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior dealings between them with respect to such subject matter. 8.11 Brokerage Landlord and Tenant each warrant that they have had no dealings with any broker or agent other than CB Richard Ellis and Meredith & Grew (the "Brokers") in connection with the Lease and covenant to defend, hold harmless and indemnify each other from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any broker or agent, other than the Brokers, claiming by or through them with respect to dealings in connection with this Lease or the negotiation thereof. 8.12 Submission Not an Option The submission of this Lease or a summary of some or all of its provisions for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises or an offer to lease. 8.13 Applicable Law This Lease, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 8.14 Waiver of Jury Trial Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other, on or in respect to any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder. Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or claim of injury or damages. 8.15 Holdover Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that Tenant shall pay as a use and occupancy charge an amount equal to the greater of (x) the Holdover Percentage, as hereinafter defined, of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a 35 daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease or (y) the fair market value of the Premises, in each case for the period measured from the day on which Tenant's hold-over commences and terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises. For purposes hereof, the "Holdover Percentage" shall mean one hundred fifty percent (150%). In addition, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant's hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Building or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity. 8.16 Arbitration Any disputes relating to provisions or obligations in this Lease as to which a specific provision for a reference to arbitration is made herein shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of applicable state law, as from time to time amended. Arbitration proceedings, including the selection of an arbitrator, shall be conducted pursuant to the rules, regulations and procedures from time to time in effect as promulgated by the American Arbitration Association. Prior written notice of application by either party for arbitration shall be given to the other at least ten (10) days before submission of the application to the said Association's office in the city wherein the Building is situated (or the nearest other city having an Association office). The arbitrator shall hear the parties and their evidence. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive, and judgment upon the award or decision of the arbitrator may be entered in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and further agree that any process or notice of motion or other application to the Superior Court or a Judge thereof may be served outside the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by registered mail or by personal service, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. The costs and expenses of each arbitration hereunder and their apportionment between the parties shall be determined by the arbitrator in his award or decision.

Tenant shall reimburse and compensate Landlord for all expenditures made by, or damages or fines sustained or incurred by, Landlord due to nonperformance or noncompliance with or breach or failure to observe any item, covenant, or condition of this Lease upon Tenant's part to be kept, observed, performed or complied with. If Tenant receives notice of any violation of law, ordinance, order or regulation applicable to the Premises, it shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord. 8.18 Inability to Perform - Exculpatory Clause This Lease and the obligations of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform all the other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied or is unable to make or is delayed in making any repairs, replacement, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any equipment or fixtures if Landlord is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of strikes or labor troubles or any other similar or dissimilar cause whatsoever beyond Landlord's reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department thereof of any governmental agency or by reason of the conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war, hostilities or other similar or dissimilar emergency. In each such instance or inability of Landlord to perform, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of such inability to perform. Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim or breach of this Lease against any of Landlord's assets other than Landlord's equity interest in the Building and in the uncollected rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord or Landlord's agents under this Lease or otherwise, it being specifically agreed that in no event shall Landlord (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals, agents or representatives, and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever by personally liable for any such liability.

In no event shall Landlord (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for consequential damages.

In no event shall Tenant (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for consequential damages; provided however, that nothing herein shall relieve Tenant from any liability in the event that Tenant breaches its obligations under Section 8.15 of this Lease. 8.19 Parties Bound - Seizin of Title The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Section 5.6 hereof shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant and that the provisions of this Section 8.19 shall not be construed as modifying the default provisions contained in Article VII hereof. If, in connection with or as a consequence of the sale, transfer or other disposition of Landlord's interest in the Building, any party who is Landlord ceases to be the owner of the reversionary interest in the Premises, Landlord, upon written notice to Tenant, shall be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance thereafter of all covenants and obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be performed and observed, it being understood and agreed in such event (and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land) that the person succeeding to Landlord's ownership of said reversionary interest shall thereupon and thereafter assume, and perform and observe, any and all of such covenants and obligations of Landlord. 8.20 Security Deposit The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant's liability for damages.

Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. ARTICLE IX RIGHTS OF PARTIES HOLDING PRIOR INTERESTS 9.1 Lease Subordinate This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage now or hereafter on the Lot or Building, or both, which are separately and together hereinafter in this Article IX referred to as "the mortgaged premises", and to each advance made or hereafter to be made under any mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidation, replacements and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefor, provided that the holder thereof enters into an agreement with Tenant by the terms of which such holder will agree to recognize the rights of tenant under this Lease and to accept Tenant as tenant of the Premises under the terms and conditions of this Lease in the event of acquisition of title by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise and Tenant will agree to recognize the holder of such mortgage as Landlord in such event, which agreement shall be made expressly to bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Tenant and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing the Premises at any foreclosure sale, provided however, that such holder shall not: (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this Lease; (ii) be subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim which shall theretofore have accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (iii) have any obligation with respect to any security deposit unless it shall have been paid over or physically delivered to such successor; or (iv) be bound by any previous modification of this Lease or by any previous payment of Annual Fixed Rent for a period greater than one (1) month, made without the consent of such holder where such consent is required by the applicable instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing any such holder may at its election subordinate its mortgage to this Lease without the consent or approval of Tenant. Tenant and Landlord agree to execute and deliver any appropriate instruments necessary to carry out the agreements contained in this Section 9.1. Tenant acknowledges that, where applicable, any consent or approval hereafter given by Landlord may be subject to the further consent or approval of the holder; and the failure or refusal of such holder to give such consent or approval shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, constitute reasonable justification for Landlord's 39 withholding its consent or approval. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord or any holder, and their respective successors in interest, acting singly, Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such certificate or instrument for, on behalf and in the name of Tenant, but only if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such certificate or instrument within ten (10) days after Landlord or such holder has made written request therefor. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, there are no mortgages affecting the Building. Landlord agrees that, as to any future mortgages affecting the Building, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the holder of such mortgage a written instrument in recordable form and in the customary form of such mortgagee that, as long as Tenant shall not be in terminable default of the obligations on its part to be kept and performed under the terms of this Lease, this Lease will not be affected and Tenant's possession hereunder will not be disturbed by any default in and/or foreclosure of, such mortgage. 9.2 Rights of Holder of Mortgage to Notice of Defaults by Landlord and to Cure Same No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Landlord's act or failure to act to Landlord's mortgagees of record, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give basis to Tenant's rights; and (ii) such mortgagees after receipt of such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a reasonable time thereafter; but nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgagees to correct or cure any condition. "Reasonable time" as used above means and includes a reasonable time to obtain possession of the mortgaged premises if the mortgagee elects to do so and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist. ARTICLE X TENANT'S OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE LEASE A. On the conditions, which conditions Landlord may waive, at its election, by written notice to Tenant at any time, that Tenant is not in default of any of its monetary obligations under the Lease or in any other material covenants and obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable period of notice and cure, and that only Manhattan Associates, Inc., itself, and/or a Permitted Tenant Successor and/or Affiliated Entity, each as defined in Section 5.6 are occupying the entirety of the Premises then demised to Tenant, both as of the time of option exercise and as of the commencement of the hereinafter described additional term, Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional three (3) year term, such 40 additional term commencing as of the expiration of the initial term of the Lease. Tenant may exercise such option to extend by giving Landlord written notice on or before the date nine (9) months prior to the expiration date of the initial term of the Lease.

S. (i) Tenant recognizes that Landlord may wish to (and Landlord hereby reserves the right to) install a central Building system (the "Central Building System") capable of, among other things, providing Tenant with the type of service (to be) provided by Tenant's Rooftop Installations. If Landlord elects to install the Central Building System, (i) Tenant shall, upon Landlord's request and at Tenant's expense, remove its Rooftop Installations and other Alterations (including any existing cabling) from the Building and repair any damage caused their installation or removal, (ii) Tenant may, at Tenant's expense and subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, subparagraph P hereof), have access to and use (and tie into) the Central Building System for the uses permitted hereunder, and (ii) commencing upon Tenant's use of the Central Building System and continuing thereafter throughout the term, the Yearly Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted to be that which is reasonably designated by 46 Landlord from time to time based upon Landlord's determination of the fair market value of the access rights to the Central Building System granted herein. (ii) Landlord shall maintain, repair or replace the Central Building System, in accordance with the standards for the repair and maintenance of such systems generally prevailing in the industry from time to time, so as to eliminate any material interruption or other adverse effects caused by malfunction, damage or destruction of the Central Building System, the cost of which shall be borne by Tenant if the problem was caused by the act or omission of Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees.

         Lessee shall pay the Installments within seven (7) days from the date
         on which the relevant Acceptance Certificate has been issued.

         will keep its personal property, the Premises, the Building, and
         leasehold improvements for which it retains ownership (including the
         Premises), insured against loss or damage by fire and all other risks
         of direct physical loss, only excepting the customary exclusions that
         are contained in a standard "all risks" policy, for not less than one
         hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value thereof. For purposes
         of this Clause, "replacement value" will be deemed to be the cost of
         replacing the property less the cost of excavation, foundations and
         footings. Damages that are not insured and/or amounts for which the
         Lessor becomes a co-insurer under its policy, including any related
         costs, which occur due to the Lessor's failure to maintain property
         insurance at the most recent replacement value, will be borne by the
         Lessor. It is hereby clarified that the Lessor shall not be required to
         insure any of the fit-outs or equipment installed in the Premises or
         the Building by the Lessee. The Lessor hereby agrees that it will seek
         reimbursement for any losses from its insurance provider and not from
         the Lessee.

10.2     Evidence of Insurance. The Lessor shall furnish to the Lessee a true,
         correct and validly certified True Copy of the certificates of such
         insurance policies as are referenced in any and all Clauses contained
         in this Agreement, within fifteen (15) days of the Lease Commencement
         Date and shall provide evidence of the renewal of such insurance prior
         to the expiration of the policies. The Lessor hereby undertakes that
         any such insurance policies will not be cancelled without the provision
         of at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Lessee. The
         Lessor agrees to notify the Lessee in writing thirty (30) days prior to
         the date any material adverse change in, or any non-renewal of, such
         policies is to become effective.

10.3     Lessor's Indemnification. The Lessor will indemnify, defend, and hold
         the Lessee, and its employees and agents, harmless from any and all
         loss or damage which the Lessee may sustain by reason of claims brought
         against the Lessee alleging bodily injury or death to any person or
         damage to property to the extent that such loss or damage is caused by


                                       16



         (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Lessor, or its
         employees or agents, in connection with the Premises or the Building,
         including Common Areas; or (b) the Lessor's default under the terms of
         this Lease. Nothing contained herein will require the Lessor to defend,
         indemnify or hold harmless the Lessee, or its employees and agents, for
         losses or damages related to claims of bodily injury or death to any
         person or damage to property to the extent caused by the negligence or
         willful misconduct of the Lessee, or its employees or agents.

            they fully understand the terms and conditions herein and agree to

            Schedule A for a period of Twelve (12) months from January 15, 2005.

      4)    Effect of violations by Executive. Executive agrees and understands
            that any action by him in violation of this Agreement shall void

            benefits provided for herein and shall require immediate repayment
            by the Executive to Employer.

      5)    Severability. If any provision, or portion thereof, of this
            Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable statute
            or rule of law, only that provision shall be deemed omitted from

                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.1

         SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      You should consider the following factors in evaluating our business or an
investment in our common stock. If any of the following or other risks actually
occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could
decline.

 OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AND COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE
                                    TO FALL.

      Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and
may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. If our quarterly revenue or
operating results fall below the expectations of investors or public market
analysts, the price of our common stock could fall substantially. Our quarterly
revenue is difficult to forecast for several reasons, including the following:

      -     the varying sales cycle for our products and services from customer
            to customer;

      -     demand for our products;

      -     customers' budgeting and purchasing cycles;

      -     delays in our implementations at customer sites;

      -     timing of hiring new services employees and the rate at which these
            employees become productive;

      -     development and performance of our distribution channels; and

      -     timing of any acquisitions and related costs.

      As a result of these and other factors, our license revenue is difficult
to predict. Because our revenue from services is largely correlated to our
license revenue, a decline in license revenue could also cause a decline in our
services revenue in the same quarter or in subsequent quarters. In addition, an
increase or decrease in hardware sales, which provide us with lower gross
margins than sales of software licenses or services, may cause variations in our
quarterly operating results.

      Most of our expenses, including employee compensation and rent, are
relatively fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on our
expectations regarding future revenue increases. As a result, any shortfall in
revenue in relation to our expectations could cause significant changes in our
operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in quarterly losses.
As a result of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of
our revenue levels and operating results are not necessarily meaningful.
Although we have grown significantly during the past six years, we do not
believe that our prior growth rates are sustainable or a good indicator of
future operating results. You should not rely on our historical quarterly
revenue and operating results to predict our future performance.

      DELAYS IN IMPLEMENTATIONS OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT US.

      Due to the size and complexity of most of our software implementations,
our implementation cycle can be lengthy and may result in delays. These delays
could cause customer dissatisfaction, which could harm our reputation.
Additional delays could result if we fail to attract, train and retain services
personnel, or if our alliance companies fail to commit sufficient resources
towards implementing our software. These delays and resulting customer
dissatisfaction could harm our reputation and cause our revenue to decline.



       OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE WITH OTHER COMPANIES MAY FAIL.

      We compete in markets that are intensely competitive and are expected to
become more competitive as current competitors expand their product offerings
and new competitors enter the market. Our current competitors come from many
segments of the software industry and offer a variety of solutions directed at
various aspects of the extended supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a
whole. We face competition for product sales from:

      -     the corporate information technology departments of current or
            potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;

      -     supply chain execution vendors, including Catalyst International,
            Inc., RedPrairie Corporation, Optum, Inc., Provia Software, Inc.,
            Highjump (3M) and SSA Global Technologies, Inc. among others;

      -     Enterprise resource planning (ERP) or supply chain management (SCM)
            application vendors with products or modules of their product suite
            offering varying degrees of supply chain execution (SCE)
            functionality, such as Retek, Inc., Manugistics Group, Inc., i2
            Technologies, Oracle Corp. and SAP AG; and

      -     smaller independent companies that have developed or areattempting
            to develop distribution center management software that competes
            with our SCE solutions.

      We may face competition in the future from ERP and SCM applications
vendors and business application software vendors that may broaden their product
offerings by internally developing or by acquiring or partnering with
independent developers of supply chain execution software. To the extent such
ERP and SCM vendors develop or acquire systems with functionality comparable or
superior to our products, their significant installed customer bases,
long-standing customer relationships and ability to offer a broad solution could
provide a significant competitive advantage over our products. In addition, it
is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors
may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Increased competition
could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins
and loss of market share. Both Oracle and SAP have entered the market for SCM
applications. We believe that the domain expertise required to compete provides
us with a competitive advantage and is a significant barrier to market entry.
However, some of our competitors have significant resources at their disposal,
and the degree to which we will compete with these new products in the
marketplace is still undetermined.

      Many of our competitors and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers
than we do. In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond
promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors' innovations.
We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not develop
products comparable or superior in terms of price and performance features to
those developed by us. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not be
required to make substantial additional investments in connection with our
research, development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in order to
meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully in
the future. Increased competition may result in reductions in market share,
pressure for price reductions and related reductions in gross margins, any of
which could materially and adversely affect our ability to achieve our financial
and business goals. We cannot give assurance that in the future we will be able
to successfully compete against current and future competitors.

 OUR PERFORMANCE MAY BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY MACRO-ECONOMIC OR OTHER EXTERNAL
                                  INFLUENCES.

      Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2000, a declining United States economy
began to adversely impact the performances of many businesses particularly
within the technology sector. We are a technology company selling
technology-based solutions with total pricing, including software and services,



in many cases, exceeding $1.0 million. Reductions in the capital budgets of our
customers and prospective customers could have an adverse impact on our ability
to sell our solutions. During 2004, we continued to experience effects from a
weak spending environment for information technology in both the United States
and Europe, in the form of delayed and cancelled buying decisions by customers
for our software, services and hardware, deferrals by customers of service
engagements previously scheduled and pressure by our customers and competitors
to discount our offerings. We believe that prolonged continuation of or further
deterioration in the current business climates, and the continued delay in
capital spending within the United States and/or other geographic regions in
which we operate, principally the United Kingdom and continental Europe, could
have a material adverse impact on our business and our ability to compete, and
is likely to further intensify our intensely competitive markets.

            OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS HAVE MANY ASSOCIATED RISKS.

      We continue to expand our international operations, and these efforts
require significant management attention and financial resources. We may not be
able to successfully penetrate international markets or if we do, there can be
no assurance that we will grow these markets at the same rate as in North
America. Because of the complex nature of this expansion, it may adversely
affect our business and operating results.

      In the last three years, we opened new international offices in China,
Germany, France, Australia, India, Singapore and Japan. These openings
constituted a substantial expansion of our international presence, which, prior
to 2002, consisted principally of offices in the United Kingdom and the
Netherlands. We have committed resources to the opening and integration of
international sales offices and the expansion of international sales and support
channels. Our efforts to develop and expand international sales and support
channels may not be successful. International sales are subject to many risks,
including the following:

      -     difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

      -     difficulties in managing international systems integrators;

      -     difficulties and expenses associated with complying with a variety
            of foreign laws;

      -     difficulties in producing localized versions of our products;

      -     import and export restrictions and tariffs;

      -     difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

      -     unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

      -     currency fluctuations; and

      -     political and economic instability abroad.

      Seasonal fluctuations may arise from the lower sales that typically occur
during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world. Additionally,
our moves into other geographical markets may give rise to greater foreign
currency exchange risk, in addition to further concentration of risk in Europe.

   OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY DEPENDENT ON ONE LINE OF BUSINESS.

      We continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales of
our software and related services and hardware. Any factor adversely affecting
the markets for SCE solutions could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, our future operating



results will depend on the demand for our products and related services and
hardware by our customers, including new and enhanced releases that we
subsequently introduce. We cannot assure you that the market will continue to
demand our current products or that we will be successful in marketing any new
or enhanced products. If our competitors release new products that are superior
to our products in performance or price, demand for our products may decline. A
decline in demand for our products as a result of competition, technological
change or other factors would reduce our total revenues and harm our ability to
maintain profitability.

       OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH OF OPERATIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US.

      We plan to continue to increase the scope of our operations domestically
and internationally. This growth may place a significant strain on our
management systems and resources. If we are unable to manage our growth
effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be
adversely affected. We may further expand domestically or internationally
through internal growth or through acquisitions of related companies and
technologies. For us to effectively manage our growth, we must continue to:

      -     maintain continuity in our executive officers;

      -     improve our operational, financial and management controls;

      -     improve our reporting systems and procedures;

      -     enhance management and information control systems;

      -     develop the management skills of our managers and supervisors; and

      -     train and motivate our employees.

 OUR INABILITY TO ATTRACT, INTEGRATE AND RETAIN MANAGEMENT AND OTHER PERSONNEL
                            MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US.

      Our success greatly depends on the continued service of our executives, as
well as our other key senior management, technical and sales personnel. In 2004
we entered into an employment agreement with Peter F. Sinisgalli, which provides
for Mr. Sinisgalli to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. Our success will
depend on the ability of any new executive officers, including Mr. Sinisgalli,
to integrate themselves into our daily operations, to gain the trust and
confidence of our other employees and to work together as a team. The loss of
any of our senior management or other key professional services, research and
development, sales and marketing personnel, particularly if lost to competitors,
could impair our ability to grow our business. We do not maintain key man life
insurance on any of our executive officers. Our future success will depend in
large part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled
employees. We face significant competition for individuals with the skills
required to perform the services we offer. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of these highly skilled employees
or to motivate them. Because of the complexity of the SCE market, we may
experience a significant time lag between the date on which technical and sales
personnel are hired and the time at which these persons become fully productive.

           FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR HARDWARE SALES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US.

      A portion of our revenue in any period is comprised of the resale of a
variety of third-party hardware products to purchasers of our software. Our
customers may choose to purchase this hardware directly from manufacturers or
distributors of these products. We view sales of hardware as non-strategic. We
perform this service to our customers seeking a single source for their supply
chain execution needs. Hardware sales are difficult to forecast and fluctuate
from quarter to quarter, leading to unusual comparisons of total revenue and
fluctuations in profits. Revenue from hardware sales as a percentage of total
revenue decreased in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and may continue to decrease in the
future. If we are not



able to increase our revenue from software licenses and services or maintain our
hardware revenue, our profitability may be adversely affected.

 OUR EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND HIRING MAY BE HINDERED BY IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS.

      A number of our employees are Indian nationals employed pursuant to
non-immigrant work-permitted visas issued by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service, or INS. There have been many changes within the INS as a
result of the events of September 11, 2001. We anticipate that there will be
additional restrictions placed on non-immigrant work-permitted visas, and we do
not know how such changes may affect us. In 2003, the INS reduced the number of
new non-immigrant work-permitted visas that will be issued each year. In years
in which this limit is reached, we may be unable to retain or hire additional
foreign employees. If we are unable to retain or hire additional foreign
employees, we may incur additional labor costs and expenses or not have
sufficient qualified personnel to carry on our business, which could harm our
ability to successfully continue and grow our business.

    OUR BUSINESS AND OUR PROFITABILITY MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE CANNOT
                         INTEGRATE ACQUIRED COMPANIES.

      We acquired Intrepa, L.L.C. in October 2000, Logistics.com, Inc. in
December 2002, ReturnCentral, Inc. in June 2003, Streamsoft, L.L.C. in October
2003 and Avere, Inc. in January 2004. We may from time to time acquire companies
with complementary products and services. These acquisitions will continue to
expose us to increased risks and costs, including the following:

      -     difficulties in assimilating new operations and personnel;

      -     diverting financial and management resources from existing
            operations; and

      -     difficulties in integrating acquired technologies.

      We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue from any of these
acquisitions to offset the associated acquisition costs. We will also be
required to maintain uniform standards of quality and service, controls,
procedures and policies. Our failure to achieve any of these standards may hurt
relationships with customers, employees and new management personnel. In
addition, future acquisitions may result in additional issuances of stock that
could be dilutive to our shareholders.

      We may also evaluate joint venture relationships with complementary
businesses. Any joint venture we enter into would involve many of the same risks
posed by acquisitions, particularly the following:

      -     risks associated with the diversion of resources;

      -     the inability to generate sufficient revenue;

      -     the management of relationships with third parties; and

      -     potential additional expenses.

      Many acquisition candidates have significant intangible assets, and an
acquisition of these businesses would likely result in significant amounts of
goodwill and other intangible assets. Under new accounting rules, goodwill and
certain other intangible assets will no longer be amortized to income, but will
be subject to at least annual impairment reviews. If the acquisitions do not
perform as planned, future charges to income arising from such impairment
reviews could be significant. Likewise, future quarterly and annual earnings
could be significantly adversely affected. In addition, these acquisitions could
involve acquisition-related charges, such as one-time acquired research and
development charges. During the third



quarter of 2003, we recorded expenses of $885,000 relating to fees incurred in
connection with two potential acquisitions that we decided not to consummate.

    OUR GROWTH IS DEPENDENT UPON THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR DIRECT AND
                            INDIRECT SALES CHANNELS.

      We believe that our future growth also will depend on developing and
maintaining successful strategic relationships with systems integrators and
other technology companies. Our strategy is to continue to increase the
proportion of customers served through these indirect channels. We are currently
investing, and plan to continue to invest, significant resources to develop
these indirect channels. This investment could adversely affect our operating
results if these efforts do not generate license and service revenue necessary
to offset this investment. Also, our inability to partner with other technology
companies and qualified systems integrators could adversely affect our results
of operations. Because lower unit prices are typically charged on sales made
through indirect channels, increased indirect sales could reduce our average
selling prices and result in lower gross margins. In addition, sales of our
products through indirect channels will reduce our consulting service revenues,
as the third-party systems integrators provide these services. As indirect sales
increase, our direct contact with our customer base will decrease, and we may
have more difficulty accurately forecasting sales, evaluating customer
satisfaction and recognizing emerging customer requirements. In addition, these
systems integrators and third-party software providers may develop, acquire or
market products competitive with our products.

      Our strategy of marketing our products directly to customers and
indirectly through systems integrators and other technology companies may result
in distribution channel conflicts. Our direct sales efforts may compete with
those of our indirect channels and, to the extent different systems integrators
target the same customers, systems integrators may also come into conflict with
each other. Any channel conflicts that develop may have a material adverse
effect on our relationships with systems integrators or harm our ability to
attract new systems integrators.

        OUR TECHNOLOGY MUST BE ADVANCED IF WE ARE TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.

      The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological
change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changes in customer
demands and evolving industry standards. Our existing products could be rendered
obsolete if we fail to continue to advance our technology. We have also found
that the technological life cycles of our products are difficult to estimate,
partially because of changing demands of other participants in the supply chain.
We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to
enhance our current product line while we concurrently develop and introduce new
products that keep pace with competitive and technological developments. These
developments require us to continue to make substantial product development
investments. Although we are presently developing a number of product
enhancements to our product sets, we cannot assure you that these enhancements
will be completed on a timely basis or gain customer acceptance.

      OUR LIABILITY TO CLIENTS MAY BE SUBSTANTIAL IF OUR SYSTEMS FAIL.

      Our products are often critical to the operations of our customers'
businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If our
products fail to function as required, we may be subject to claims for
substantial damages. Courts may not enforce provisions in our contracts that
would limit our liability or otherwise protect us from liability for damages.
Although we maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage
for errors or omissions, this coverage may not continue to be available on
reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover claims against us. In
addition, our insurer may disclaim coverage as to any future claim. If claims
exceeding the available insurance coverage are successfully asserted against us,
or our insurer imposes premium increases, large deductibles or co-insurance
requirements on us, our business and results of operations could be adversely
affected.



 OUR SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN UNDETECTED ERRORS OR "BUGS," RESULTING IN HARM TO OUR
                       REPUTATION AND OPERATING RESULTS.

      Software products as complex as those offered by us might contain
undetected errors or failures when first introduced or when new versions are
released. We cannot assure you, despite testing by us and by current and
prospective customers, that errors will not be found in new products or product
enhancements after commercial release. Any errors found may cause substantial
harm to our reputation and result in additional unplanned expenses to remedy any
defects as well as a loss in revenue.

  OUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
                                       US.

      Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our
proprietary technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect our
proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as
confidentiality agreements and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect
our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
existing copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited
protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries do not protect
our rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States. Attempts may
be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use
information that we regard as proprietary. Any infringement of our proprietary
rights could negatively impact our future operating results. Furthermore,
policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and 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. Litigation could result in substantial costs and
diversion of resources and could negatively impact our future operating results.

 OUR LIABILITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS CAN BE COSTLY AND RESULT IN THE
                           LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS.

      It is possible that third parties will claim that we have infringed their
current or future products. We expect that SCE software developers like us will
increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products grows.
Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements, any of which could negatively impact our operating
results. We cannot assure you that these royalty or licensing agreements, if
required, would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We cannot
assure you that legal action claiming patent infringement will not be commenced
against us, or that we would prevail in litigation given the complex technical
issues and inherent uncertainties in patent litigation. If a patent claim
against us was successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable terms
or license a substitute technology or redesign to avoid infringement, we may be
prevented from distributing our software or required to incur significant
expense and delay in developing non-infringing software.

                  OUR BUSINESS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.

      We may require additional capital to finance our growth or to fund
acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product
lines. Our capital requirements may be impacted by many factors, including:

      -     demand for our products;

      -     the timing of and extent to which we invest in new technology;

      -     the timing of and extent to which we acquire other companies;

      -     the level and timing of revenue;

      -     the expenses of sales and marketing and new product development;



      -     the success and related expense of increasing our brand awareness;

      -     the extent to which competitors are successful in developing new
            products and increasing their market share; and

      -     the costs involved in maintaining and enforcing intellectual
            property rights.

      To the extent that our resources are insufficient to fund our future
activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private
financing. However, additional funding, if needed, may not be available on terms
attractive to us, or at all. Our inability to raise capital when needed could
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity
securities, the percentage ownership of our company by our current shareholders
would be diluted.

                    OUR STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN HIGHLY VOLATILE.

      The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly since
our initial public offering in April 1998. In addition, the trading price of our
common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various
factors, including:

      -     quarterly variations in operating results;

      -     announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or
            our competitors;

      -     developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights; and

      -     changes in financial estimates by securities analysts.

      In addition, the stock market has experienced volatility that has
particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology
companies and that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.

   INVESTOR CONFIDENCE AND SHARE VALUE MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED AS A RESULT
     OF THE INABILITY OF OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO PROVIDE US WITH THEIR
    ATTESTATION REGARDING OUR MAINTENANCE OF EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
                              FINANCIAL REPORTING.

      The Securities and Exchange Commission, as directed by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring public companies to include
a report of our management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting in our annual reports on Form 10-K. In
addition, our independent auditors must attest to and report on management's
assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial
reporting.

      Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, and this assessment identified one
material weakness in our internal controls. A material weakness is a control
deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a
remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weakness
related to revenue recognition for sales contracts with multiple revenue
elements. We have historically been able to establish vendor specific objective
evidence ("VSOE") of fair value of our professional services and
customer support services and software enhancement subscriptions
("maintenance") but not for our software licenses and, therefore,
typically allocate arrangement consideration using the residual method and
recognize software license revenue upon the execution of the software license
contract, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Although various preventive controls have been in place, our management believes
that additional detective controls should be established to ensure that
professional services and maintenance, when sold separately, are not being
offered at prices substantially different than the established VSOE of fair
market value for those services. If substantial variations from VSOE of fair
value exist, then VSOE of fair value does not exist and we would be required to
recognize the revenue from software license fees ratably over the service
period, rather than at the time of contract execution. As a result of the
identification of this material weakness, our independent auditors were unable
to provide us with their attestation regarding our maintenance of effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. This
inability could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due
to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements,
which ultimately could negatively impact the market price of our shares.


 OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS AND GEORGIA LAW MAY INHIBIT A TAKEOVER
                                 OF OUR COMPANY.

      Our basic corporate documents and Georgia law contain provisions that
might enable our management to resist a takeover of our company. These
provisions might discourage, delay or prevent a change in the control of our
company or a change in our management. These provisions could also discourage
proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to
elect directors and take other corporate actions. The existence of these
provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in
the future for shares of our common stock.
