DemandTec, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business Summary and Significant Accounting Policies
Business Summary
DemandTec, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 1, 1999. We are a leading provider of
Consumer Demand Management, or CDM, solutions. CDM is a software category based on quantifying,
predicting and shaping consumer demand. Our software services enable retailers and consumer
products, or CP, companies to define strategies based on a scientific understanding of consumer
behavior and make actionable pricing, promotion and other merchandising and marketing decisions to
achieve their revenue, profitability and sales volume objectives. We deliver our applications by
means of a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, model, which allows us to capture and analyze the most
recent retailer and market-level data and enhance our software services rapidly to address our
customers ever-changing merchandising and marketing needs. We are headquartered in San Carlos,
California, with additional offices in North America, Europe and Japan.
Initial Public Offering
In August 2007, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, in which we sold and issued
6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an issue price of $11.00 per share. We raised a total of
$66.0 million in gross proceeds from the IPO, or approximately $57.6 million in net proceeds after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.6 million and other offering costs of $3.8
million. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding
automatically converted into 13,511,107 shares of common stock, and all outstanding warrants to
purchase shares of convertible preferred stock automatically converted to warrants to purchase
181,747 shares of common stock.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on the last day in February. References to fiscal 2008, for example,
refer to our fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 and references to fiscal 2009 refer to our fiscal
year ending February 28, 2009.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in our consolidated balance sheet at February 29, 2008, in
our consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2007, and within
operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended November
30, 2007, were combined with other line items to conform to the current period presentation. We
combined these line items in order to improve the presentation of our financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2008, the
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 and
2007, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 and
2007 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet data as of February 29, 2008 was derived from
the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 (the Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, on April 25, 2008. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K, as
well as subsequent filings with the SEC.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. They do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required
by GAAP. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as
the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of our management, include all
adjustments necessary, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, for the fair presentation of
our statement of financial position and our results of operations for the periods included in this
quarterly report. The results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal
year ending February 28, 2009.
6
Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles require us to make
certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as
of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management
include the determination of the fair value of share-based payments, the probability of attainment
of service and performance conditions established related to performance-based awards, and the fair
value of acquired intangible assets and the recoverability of long-lived assets. We believe that
the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonable, based upon information available to
us at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. To the extent there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements will
be affected.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from fees under agreements with initial terms that generally are one to
three years in length. Our agreements contain multiple elements, which include the use of our
software, SaaS delivery services, and professional services, as well as maintenance and customer
support. Professional services consist of implementation, training, data integration and modeling,
and analytical services related to our customers use of our software.
Because we provide our software as a service, we follow the provisions of the SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue
No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, or EITF 00-21. We recognize revenue
when all of the following conditions are met:
|
|
|
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; |
|
|
|
|
access to the software service has been provided to the customer; |
|
|
|
|
the collection of the fees is probable; and |
|
|
|
|
the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. |
In applying the provisions of EITF 00-21, we have determined that we do not have objective and
reliable evidence of fair value for each element of our offering. As a result, the elements within
our agreements do not qualify for treatment as separate units of accounting. Therefore, we account
for all fees received under our agreements as a single unit of accounting and recognize them
ratably over the term of the related agreement, commencing upon the later of the agreement start
date or the date access to the software is provided to the customer.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition.
For arrangements with terms of over one year, we generally invoice our customers in annual
installments, although certain multi-year agreements have had certain fees for all years invoiced
and paid upfront. Deferred revenue to be recognized in the succeeding twelve month period is
included in current deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remaining amounts
included in deferred revenue, non-current.
Foreign Currency Translation
The denomination of the majority of our sales arrangements and the functional currency of our
international operations is the United States dollar. Our international operations financial
statements are remeasured into United States dollars with adjustments recorded as foreign currency
gains (losses) in our consolidated statements of operations. All monetary assets and liabilities
are remeasured at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, non-monetary assets and
liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are remeasured at
average exchange rates in effect during the period. We recognized foreign currency gains (losses)
of approximately $37,000 and $297,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and ($20,000) and $388,000 in the nine months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, in other income (expense), net.

Concentrations of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Suppliers and Geographic Information
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and a line of credit.
Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable.
As of November 30, 2008 and February 29, 2008, long-lived assets located outside the United
States were not significant. As of November 30, 2008, two customers accounted for 33% and 14%,
respectively, of our accounts receivable balance. As of February 29, 2008, three customers
accounted for 23%, 18% and 10%, respectively, of our accounts receivable balance.
In the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, one customer accounted for 17% and 14%
of total revenue, respectively. In the three months ended November 30, 2007, two customers
accounted for 14% and 10%, respectively, of total revenue, and in the nine months ended November
30, 2007, one customer accounted for 12% of total revenue. Revenue by geographic region, based on
the billing address of the customer, was as follows (in thousands):

The equipment hosting our software is in two third-party data center facilities located in
California. We do not control the operation of these facilities and our operations are vulnerable
to damage or interruption in the event either of these third-party data center facilities fails.
Deferred Commissions
We capitalize certain commission costs directly related to the acquisition of a customer
agreement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Technical Bulletin
90-1, Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts. Our
commission payments are paid shortly after our receipt of the related customer payment. The
commissions are deferred and amortized to sales and marketing expense over the revenue recognition
term of the related non-cancelable customer agreement. The deferred commission amounts are
recoverable through their accompanying future revenue streams under non-cancellable customer
agreements. We believe this is the appropriate method of accounting as the commission charges are
so closely related to the revenue from the customer contracts that they should be recorded as an
asset and charged to expense over the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
Commission costs amortized to sales and marketing expense were approximately $829,000 and $2.4
million in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, respectively, and were $710,000 and
$2.0 million in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2007, respectively. At November 30,
2008 and February 29, 2008, total deferred commission costs were $1.8 million and $2.6 million,
respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We record as goodwill the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value of the
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS No. 142, we do
not amortize goodwill, but perform an annual impairment review of our goodwill during our third
quarter, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment arise. We evaluated our goodwill
in November 2008 and observed no indication of any impairment. Following the criteria of SFAS No.
131 and SFAS No. 142, we have a single operating segment and consequently evaluate goodwill for
impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of our company as a whole. We record acquired
intangible assets at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Acquired
intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated
useful lives, which currently range from approximately eleven months to eight years. We evaluate
the remaining useful lives of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or
circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining estimated amortization period. We observed no
impairment indicators in the three months ended November 30, 2008.
8
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets
and property and equipment, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events
or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We
measure recoverability of assets by comparison of their carrying amount to the future undiscounted
cash flows we expect the assets to generate. If we consider assets to be impaired, we measure the
amount of any impairment as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the
impaired assets. We observed no impairment indicators through November 30, 2008.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for employee and director stock-based compensation pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS No. 123R, which requires that all
share-based payments be recognized as an expense in the statement of operations based on their fair
values over the vesting period. Grants of stock options generally vest over four years. Annual
stock option grants to members of our board of directors vest over one year. Performance-based
awards, or PSUs, vest over an individuals service period pursuant to certain performance and
time-based vesting criteria set by our Compensation Committee, which has generally been between one
and two years. We evaluate the probability of meeting the performance criteria at the end of each
reporting period to determine how much compensation expense to record. Because the number of shares
to be issued is not known until the end of the performance period, the compensation expense related
to these awards could differ significantly from our estimates. Restricted stock units, or RSUs,
vest over and individuals service period solely pursuant to time-based vesting criteria set by our
Compensation Committee. We measure the value of the RSUs at fair value on the measurement date,
based on the number of units granted and the market value of our common stock on that date.
Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are accounted for in
accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments That Are Issued to Other
Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, or EITF No. 96-18,
and are valued using the Black-Scholes model prescribed by SFAS No. 123R. These options are subject
to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms and are charged to expense over the vesting term
using the graded method.
Net Loss per Common Share
We compute net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, or SFAS No.
128. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period except that it does not include
unvested common shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon
the exercise of stock options or warrants or upon the settlement of PSUs or RSUs, shares subject to
issuance under our 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), unvested common shares subject to
repurchase or cancellation and convertible preferred stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding
stock options, PSUs and RSUs, shares subject to issuance under the ESPP, and warrants is reflected
in diluted loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. When dilutive, warrants and
convertible preferred stock are reflected on an if-converted basis from the date of issuance.
Because the company has been in a loss position in all periods shown, basic and diluted net
loss per common share were the same for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007,
as the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 161. SFAS No. 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to
disclose information that should enable financial statement users to understand how and why a
company uses derivative instruments and related hedging activities and how they affect a companys
financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early
application is encouraged and accordingly, we adopted SFAS No. 161 in August 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, or SFAS
No. 141R, which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures
in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R also establishes
principles around how goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase
should be recognized and measured, as well as provides guidelines on the disclosure requirements on
the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and we will adopt it beginning in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets, or FSP FAS 142-3. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP
FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is
prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 on our
consolidated financial statements.

and do not believe any of the marketable securities are impaired based on our evaluation of
available evidence as of November 30, 2008. At November 30, 2008, we held no auction rate or
asset-backed securities and all of our marketable securities had maturities of less than two years.

3. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In May 2008, we entered into a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide agreement with a research
and consulting firm pursuant to which we acquired rights to develop our own products based upon the
firms assortment optimization technology and to integrate these into our software service offering
for sale initially to the retail industry. In consideration, we committed to pay an aggregate of
$1,450,000 in installments through January 2009. Upon delivery of the source code, the technology
and intangible assets were recorded as intangible assets and are being amortized into operating
expenses over an estimated life of approximately 18 months. At November 30, 2008, $450,000 remained
payable under this agreement.
11
At November 30, 2008, we had an outstanding irrevocable letter of credit in connection with a
noncancelable operating lease commitment which we issued in favor of our landlord, for an aggregate
amount of $200,000 that will automatically renew until the lease expires in February 2010. We
secured the letter of credit using our existing line of credit, as described in Note 4.
Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time involved in legal matters that arise in the normal course of
business. Based on information currently available, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution
of any current matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.
4. Debt
In connection with our acquisition of TradePoint Solutions, Inc. (TradePoint) in November
2006, we issued a $1.8 million non-interest bearing promissory note to former TradePoint
shareholders. At November 30, 2008, $434,000 remained outstanding and payable thereunder, awaiting
instructions by the former TradePoint shareholders on how to allocate and distribute the proceeds.
In April 2008, we entered into a new revolving line of credit with a total borrowing capacity
of $15.0 million and terminated our existing $5.0 million credit facility. Amounts borrowed will
bear interest, at our election, at a rate equal to either (i) the financial institutions prime
rate at the time of the borrowing or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 2.0%. The line of credit is
collateralized by substantially all of our assets and requires us to comply with working capital,
net worth, and other non-financial covenants, including limitations on indebtedness and
restrictions on dividend distributions, among others. In April 2008, the available balance was
reduced by $200,000, to $14.8 million, to secure a non-cancelable operating lease commitment.
Throughout the nine month period ended November 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all loan
covenants and at November 30, 2008 we had no outstanding balance under the line of credit.

5. Stockholders Equity
Equity Incentive Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
1999 Equity Incentive Plan
In December 1999, our Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the 1999
Plan). The 1999 Plan, which expired on August 8, 2007 upon our IPO, provided for incentive or
nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses and rights to acquire restricted stock to be granted to
employees, outside directors and consultants. As of November 30, 2008, options to purchase
5,611,322 shares were outstanding under the 1999 Plan. Such options are exercisable as specified in
each option agreement, generally vest over four years, and expire no more than ten years from the
date of grant.
2007 Equity Incentive Plan
In May 2007, our Board of Directors adopted, and in July 2007 our stockholders approved, the
2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan). The 2007 Plan became effective upon our IPO. The 2007
Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, provides for
stock options, stock units, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights to be granted to
employees, non-employee directors and consultants. We initially reserved 3.0 million shares of our
common stock for issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year
commencing with fiscal year 2009, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the
2007 Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lowest of a) 5% of the total number
of shares of common stock then outstanding, b) 3,750,000 shares, or c) a number determined by our
Board of Directors. As of November 30, 2008, a total of 763,811 shares were available for issuance
and options to purchase 2,137,475 shares were outstanding under the 2007 Plan.
Stock Options. Options granted under the 2007 Plan may be either incentive stock options or
nonstatutory stock options and are exercisable as determined by the Compensation Committee and as
specified in each option agreement. Options vest over a period of time as determined by the
Compensation Committee, generally four years, and generally expire seven years (but in any event no
more than ten years) from the date of grant. The exercise price of any stock option granted under
the 2007 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
The term of the 2007 Plan is ten years.
Performance Stock Units. Performance stock units are awards under our 2007 Plan that entitle
the recipient to receive shares of our common stock upon vesting and settlement of the awards
pursuant to certain performance and time-based vesting criteria set by our Compensation Committee.
We measure the value of the PSUs at fair value on the measurement date, based on the number of
units granted and the market value of our common stock on that date. We amortize the fair value,
net of estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period of the award (or, if applicable, over the vesting period of the tranche, viewing
each tranche as a separate award). SFAS No. 123R requires compensation expense to be recognized on
the PSUs if it is probable that the performance and service conditions will be achieved.
On August 17, 2007, our Compensation Committee granted 1,000,000 PSUs to certain of our
executive officers and other key employees. These awards had a grant date fair value of
approximately $10.0 million, which is to be recognized over the vesting lives of the awards. These
PSU grants are divided into two tranches. The first tranche consists of 30% of each grant, and
relates to fiscal 2008 company performance and subsequent individual service requirements. The
second tranche consists of the remaining 70% of each grant, and relates to fiscal year 2009 company
performance and subsequent individual service requirements. These PSUs may vest over a period of up
to 29 months. As of November 30, 2008, there were 626,875 shares subject to outstanding PSUs
granted on August 17, 2007.
On March 4, 2008, our Compensation Committee granted 160,000 PSUs to an executive officer.
This PSU grant consists of a single tranche, and relates to company performance metrics for fiscal
2009 and subsequent individual service requirements. At the measurement date, the fair value of the
PSUs granted on March 4, 2008 was approximately $1.7 million.
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are awards under our 2007 Plan that entitle the
recipient to receive shares of our common stock upon vesting and settlement of the awards pursuant
to time-based vesting criteria set by our Compensation Committee. We measure the value of the RSUs
at fair value on the measurement date, based on the number of units granted and the market value of
our common stock on that date. We amortize the fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, as
stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. SFAS No. 123R
requires compensation expense to be recognized with respect to the RSUs if it is probable that the
service condition will be achieved.
13
In March and April 2008, our Compensation Committee granted 545,900 RSUs to our executive
officers and certain other employees. All of these RSUs will vest on April 15, 2010 subject to each
grantees continued service. At the measurement date, the fair value of the RSUs was approximately
$5.7 million. As of November 30, 2008, there were 502,850 shares subject to outstanding RSUs.
2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2007 our Board of Directors adopted, and in July 2007 our stockholders approved, the
2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase
shares of common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market values of
our common stock at the beginning or end of the applicable offering period. The initial offering
period commenced on August 8, 2007 and ended on April 15, 2008; each subsequent offering period
lasts for six months. We initially reserved 500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under
the ESPP. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year commencing with fiscal year 2009, the
aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP shall automatically increase by a
number equal to the lowest of a) 1% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding,
b) 375,000 shares, or c) a number determined by our Board of Directors. As of November 30, 2008, a
total of 612,011 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense Associated with Awards to Employees
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards to employees is based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and is
recognized over the respective vesting periods of the applicable awards on a straight-line basis.
In the three months ended November 30, 2008, we issued employee stock-based awards in the form of
stock options and shares subject to the ESPP. In the nine months ended November 30, 2008, we issued
employee stock-based awards in the form of stock options, PSUs, RSUs and shares subject to the
ESPP.
We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options,
awards and ESPP shares. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of
grant using this pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as by assumptions regarding a
number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price
volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise
behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The estimated grant date fair values of
the employee and non-employee director stock options, PSUs, RSUs and ESPP shares were calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised in the three and nine months ended November
30, 2008 was $1.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options
exercised was calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock
option awards and the closing market value of our common stock on the date of exercise.
We estimate forfeitures for our stock options, PSUs, and RSUs at the time of grant, and at the
end of each reporting period we revise those estimates based on actual results and on service and
performance criteria, taking into account cancellations related to terminations, as applicable to
each award. The estimation of whether the performance targets and service periods will be achieved
requires judgment. When our revised estimates result in a change to the number of awards expected
to vest, we record a cumulative effect adjustment to unvested shares in the current period. When
our revised estimates result in a change to the recognition period, we record the effect
prospectively. In each of the three month periods ended May 31, 2008, August 31, 2008 and November
30, 2008, we recorded cumulative effect adjustments which resulted in a decrease to stock-based
compensation expense of approximately $940,000, $253,000 and $224,000, respectively.
As of November 30, 2008, we had $10.5 million of gross unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense, excluding estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options granted after March 1,
2006. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.9
years.
As of November 30, 2008, we had $3.8 million of gross unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense, excluding estimated forfeitures, related to PSUs. This amount is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of approximately 0.8 years.
As of November 30, 2008, we had $3.7 million of gross unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense, excluding estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs. This amount is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years.
Total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $228,000 related to the current ESPP
purchase period is being recognized on a straight-line basis from October 16, 2008 through April
15, 2009, the end of the purchase period.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense Associated with Awards to Non-Employees
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees is
recognized as the stock options vest. We believe that the fair value of the stock options granted
is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value of the
stock options granted is calculated at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123R.
Stock-based compensation expense in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 related
to options granted to non-employees was approximately ($6,000) and $24,000, respectively, and in
the three and nine months ended November 30, 2007 was approximately $226,000 and $454,000,
respectively.
6. Income Taxes
In the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded an income tax (benefit)
expense of ($91,000) and $1,000, respectively, compared to expense of $181,000 and $319,000,
respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the nine
months ended November 30, 2008 was 4% based on our estimated taxable income for the year, less
certain discrete items. The discrete items were recorded as a result of the enactment of the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and changes in our prior year estimated tax liability
based on actual tax payments made with tax returns filed during our third quarter. Under the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act, corporations otherwise eligible for bonus first-year
depreciation may instead elect to claim a refund for R&D tax credits generated prior to 2006. Our
estimate of the refundable credit under this Act is $83,000. Excluding the tax impact of the
discrete items, we would have recorded a tax expense primarily for federal alternative minimum
income taxes, state income taxes in states where we do not have net operating loss carryforwards,
and foreign taxes. The income tax expense in the corresponding periods of the prior year was for
federal alternative minimum income taxes, state income taxes in states where we have no net
operating loss carryforwards, and foreign taxes.
We recorded liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions
of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). For the nine months
ended November 30, 2008, our unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $16,000 which had been
reduced by $34,000 based on the tax returns filed during our third quarter. FIN No. 48 specifies
that tax positions for which the
15
timing of the ultimate resolution is uncertain should be recognized as long-term liabilities.
We made no reclassifications between current taxes payable and long-term taxes payable. We do not
expect to have significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
Because of our history of operating losses, all years remain open to audit.
7. Derivative Financial Instruments
We maintain a foreign currency risk management strategy, which includes the use of derivative
financial instruments, that is designed to protect our economic value from the possible adverse
effects of currency fluctuations. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for
speculative or trading purposes.
In July 2008, we entered into two foreign currency forward contracts (forward contracts) to
reduce our exposure in Euro denominated accounts receivable. We designated these forward contracts
as cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated firm commitments. Our objective in purchasing
these forward contracts was to negate the impact of currency exchange rate movements on our
operating results. One of our forward contracts matures in 6 months and the other matures in 18
months. As of November 30, 2008, the fair value of our forward contracts was approximately $636,000
and was included in other current assets and other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheet.
To receive hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 133, our hedging relationships are formally
documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting
changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of the hedge and on an
ongoing basis. We record effective spot-to-spot changes in these cash flow hedges in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction takes place. We evaluate hedge
effectiveness prospectively and retrospectively and record any ineffective portion of the hedging
instruments to other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Implicit
interest of approximately $85,000 was excluded from effectiveness testing, in accordance with SFAS
No. 133, and is being recorded using the straight line method over the terms of the forward
contracts to interest expense and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Implicit interest
recorded for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 totaled approximately $16,000 and
$24,000, respectively. We did not incur any hedge ineffectiveness on our forward contracts in the
three or nine months ended November 30, 2008 and we had no forward contracts or other derivatives
in the corresponding periods of the prior year.
8. Fair Value Measurements
Effective March 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS No. 157,
which clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for
considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, we measure our foreign currency forward contracts at fair
value. Our foreign currency forward contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs
are based on quoted prices of similar instruments in inactive markets and do not involve management
judgment.

Overview
We are a leading provider of Consumer Demand Management, or CDM, solutions. CDM is a software
category based on quantifying, predicting and shaping consumer demand. Our software services enable
retailers and consumer products, or CP, companies to define strategies based on a scientific
understanding of consumer behavior and make actionable pricing, promotion and other merchandising
and marketing decisions to achieve their revenue, profitability and sales volume objectives. We
deliver our applications by means of a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, model, which allows us to
capture and analyze the most recent retailer and market-level data and enhance our software
services rapidly to address our customers ever-changing merchandising and marketing needs.
17
Our CDM solutions consist of one or more software services and complementary analytical
services. We offer our solutions individually or as a suite of integrated applications. Our
software services are configurable to accommodate individual customer needs. Our solutions for the
retail industry include DemandTec Lifecycle Price Optimization, DemandTec End-to-End
Promotion Management, DemandTec Assortment & Space, and DemandTec Targeted
Marketing. Our solution for the CP industry is DemandTec Trade Effectiveness.
The DemandTec Platform underlies all of our solutions for the retail and CP industries
and the DemandTec TradePoint Network connects the two industries for online
collaboration. We were incorporated in November 1999 and began selling our software in fiscal 2001.
Our revenue has grown from $9.5 million in fiscal 2004 to $61.3 million in fiscal 2008, and was
$55.7 million in the nine months ended November 30, 2008. Our operating expenses have also
increased significantly during these same periods. We have incurred losses to date and had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $75.8 million at November 30, 2008.
We sell our software to retailers and CP companies under agreements with initial terms that
generally are one to three years in length and provide a variety of services associated with our
customers use of our software. We recognize the revenue we generate from each agreement ratably
over the term of the agreement. Our revenue growth depends on our attracting new customers and
renewing agreements with and selling add-ons to existing customers. Our ability to maintain or
increase our rate of growth will be directly affected by the continued acceptance of our software
in the marketplace, as well as the timing, size and term length of our customer agreements.
Our agreements with retailers are large contracts that generally are two to three years in
length. The annual contract value for each retail customer agreement is largely related to the size
of the retailer. Therefore, the aggregate annual contract value in a given period can fluctuate
from period to period. Our agreements with CP companies are principally one year in length and a
significant majority are smaller in annual and aggregate contract value than our retail customer
contracts. Historically, the customer agreements we have signed in our fiscal first quarter have
generally had an aggregate annual contract value that is the lowest of any of our fiscal quarters
during a given fiscal year and less than the aggregate annual contract value of the agreements
signed in the preceding fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, a significant percentage of our new
customer agreements are entered into during the last month, weeks or even days of each quarter-end.
We are headquartered in San Carlos, California, and have sales and marketing offices in North
America, Europe and Japan. We sell our software through our direct sales force and receive some
customer prospect introductions through third-parties such as systems integrators and a data
syndication company. In the nine months ended November 30, 2008, approximately 86% of our revenue
was attributable to sales of our software to companies located in the United States. In the future,
we expect to derive an increasing percentage of total revenue from international customers by
expanding our operations, professional services and direct sales force abroad, thereby incurring
additional operating expenses and capital expenditures. Our ability to achieve profitability will
also be affected by our revenue growth as well as the operating expenses associated with supporting
that growth. Our largest category of operating expenses is research and development expenses, and
the largest component of our operating expenses is personnel costs.
In August 2007, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, in which we sold and issued
6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an issue price of $11.00 per share. We raised a total of
$66.0 million in gross proceeds from the IPO, or approximately $57.6 million in net proceeds after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.6 million and other offering costs of $3.8
million. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding
automatically converted into 13,511,107 shares of common stock, and all outstanding warrants to
purchase shares of convertible preferred stock automatically converted to warrants to purchase
181,747 shares of common stock.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles require us to make certain
estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the periods presented. We believe that our estimates and judgments were reasonable
based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates and judgments were made. On
an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements could
be adversely affected. The accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant
estimates, judgments, and assumptions, and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, include the following:
18
|
|
Deferred Commissions |
|
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
|
|
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated
by GAAP and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in
which managements judgment in selecting among available accounting policy alternatives would not
produce a materially different result.
In the three months ended November 30, 2008, there were no significant changes in our critical
accounting policies. During each of the three month periods ended May 31, 2008, August 31, 2008 and
November 30, 2008, we changed our estimate of the number of shares expected to vest utilized in
calculating stock-based compensation expense. Please refer to Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included herein for a more complete discussion of the changes in estimates.
Also, please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive all of our revenue from customer agreements that cover the use of our software and
various services associated with our customers use of our software. We recognize all revenue
ratably over the term of the agreement.
Our agreements generally are non-cancelable, but customers typically have the right to
terminate their agreement for cause if we materially breach our obligations under the agreement
and, in certain situations, may have the ability to extend the duration of their agreement on
pre-negotiated terms. We invoice our customers in accordance with contractual terms, which
generally provide that our customers are invoiced in advance for annual use of our software and for
services other than implementation and training services. We generally provide implementation
services on a time and materials basis and invoice our customers monthly in arrears. We also
invoice in arrears for our training classes on implementing and using our software on a per person,
per class basis. Our payment terms typically require our customers to pay us within 30 days of the
invoice date. We include amounts invoiced in accounts receivable until collected and in deferred
revenue until recognized as revenue.

Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended
November 30, 2007. Revenue for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 increased
approximately $3.0 million, or 19.1%, and $11.8 million, or 26.9%, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods of the prior year.
Revenue from new customers increased $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in the three
and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.
New customers are those that did not contribute any revenue in the respective three or nine month
periods ended November 30, 2007. Revenue from existing customers increased $2.0 million and $9.0
million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, primarily as a
result of add-on sales to our installed base. Existing customers are those that contributed revenue
in each of the periods presented.
In the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, revenue from customers located outside
the United States represented 13% and 14%, respectively, of revenue compared to 12% in each of the
corresponding periods of the prior year. We expect that, in the future, revenue from customers
outside the United States will increase as a percentage of total revenue on an annual basis.
In each of the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2008, revenue from retail
customers represented 86% of revenue compared to 92% and 93%, respectively, in the corresponding
periods of the prior year. In each of the three and nine months ended
19
November 30, 2008, revenue from CP companies represented 14% of revenue, compared to 8% and
7%, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. We expect that, in the future,
revenue from CP companies will increase as a percentage of total revenue on an annual basis.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes expenses related to data center costs, depreciation expenses
associated with computer equipment and software, compensation and related expenses of operations,
technical customer support and professional services personnel, amortization of acquired intangible
assets and allocated overhead expenses. We have contracts with two third parties for the use of
their data center facilities, and our data center costs principally consist of the amounts we pay
to these third parties for rack space, power and similar items. Amortization of acquired intangible
assets relates to developed technology acquired in the TradePoint acquisition and to our
acquisition of rights to develop acquired assortment optimization technology. We are amortizing
these intangible assets over a remaining life of approximately eleven months to eight years. We
allocate overhead costs, such as rent and occupancy costs, employee benefits, information
management costs, and legal and other costs, to all departments predominantly based on headcount.
As a result, we include allocated overhead expenses in cost of revenue and each operating expense
category.

Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended
November 30, 2007. Cost of revenue in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 increased
approximately $274,000 and $2.4 million, or 4.9% and 16.4%, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increased personnel
costs, equipment maintenance and depreciation expense offset by a decrease in third-party
contractor and consulting costs.
Personnel costs increased primarily as a result of increased headcount in the three and nine
months ended November 30, 2008. Consulting services, support services, and production operations
headcount increased to 94 at November 30, 2008 from 80 at November 30, 2007. Personnel costs
increased approximately $144,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended
November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Personnel costs include
all compensation, benefits and hiring costs. Stock-based compensation expense included in cost of
revenue, which is a component of personnel costs, was approximately $389,000 and $1.2 million,
respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to $539,000 and
$839,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. Equipment maintenance and
depreciation expense increased in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 by
approximately $269,000 and $803,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the
prior year, as a result of capital expenditures, predominantly related to equipment in the
third-party data centers, to support customer growth. Third-party contractor and consulting expense
decreased approximately $243,000 and $514,000 in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year due to increased use of
DemandTec personnel to support customers as opposed to third-party consulting firms.
Our gross margin increased to 69.3% and 68.9%, respectively, in the three and nine months
ended November 30, 2008 compared to 65.1% and 66.0%, respectively, in the corresponding periods of
the prior year as we spread our data infrastructure costs over a larger customer base and utilized
DemandTec personnel to implement and support customers. We expect that our cost of revenue will
decrease as a percentage of revenue and our gross margin will increase in the future as we grow our
customer base. In addition, we are amortizing acquired intangible assets over three to ten years on
a straight-line basis, which, absent any impairment, will result in quarterly amortization expense
of approximately $150,000 in cost of revenue through the three months ended August 31, 2009 and
declining amounts thereafter. We expect that stock-based compensation charges included in cost of
revenue will vary over the long term depending on the timing and magnitude of equity incentive
grants during each quarter.

Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended
November 30, 2007. Research and development expenses in the three and nine months ended November
30, 2008 increased approximately $1.1 million and $4.0 million, or 19.0% and 25.6%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, primarily due to increased personnel
costs, third-party contractor and consulting costs, and equipment maintenance and depreciation
expense.
Personnel costs increased approximately $585,000 and $3.0 million, respectively, in the three
and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year,
primarily as a result of increased headcount. Research and development headcount increased to 101
at November 30, 2008 from 90 at November 30, 2007. Personnel costs include all compensation,
benefits and hiring costs. Stock-based compensation expense included in research and development
expenses, which is a component of personnel costs, was $509,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, in
the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 as compared to $580,000 and $827,000,
respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2007. Third-party contractor and
consulting expense increased approximately $159,000 and $416,000 in the three and nine months ended
November 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, as a
result of a new development process methodology initiated in May 2008. Equipment maintenance and
depreciation expense increased in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 by
approximately $144,000 and $382,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the
prior year, as a result of capital expenditures to support our research and development labs and
infrastructure and increased headcount.
We intend to continue to invest significantly in our research and development efforts because
we believe these efforts are essential to maintaining our competitive position. In addition, we
expect that stock-based compensation charges included in research and development expenses will
vary over the long term depending on the timing and magnitude of equity incentive grants during
each quarter. We expect that, in the future, research and development expenses will increase in
absolute dollars, but decrease as a percentage of revenue.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses include compensation and related expenses for our sales and
marketing personnel, including commissions and incentives, travel and entertainment expenses,
marketing programs such as product marketing, events, corporate communications and other brand
building expenses, and allocated overhead expenses.

Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended
November 30, 2007. Sales and marketing expenses in the three and nine months ended November 30,
2008 increased approximately $142,000 and $2.9 million, or 3.0% and 23.8%, respectively, compared
to the corresponding periods of the prior year primarily as a result of increased personnel costs
and marketing related costs.
Personnel costs increased approximately $209,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, in the three
and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.
The increase for the three months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily due to an increase in
commissions expense. The increase for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily due to
an increase in commissions expense and stock-based compensation expense. Sales and marketing
headcount increased to 37 at
21
November 30, 2008 from 36 at November 30, 2007. Personnel costs include all compensation,
benefits and hiring costs. Commission expense increased $141,000 and $543,000 in the three and nine
months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Stock-based
compensation expense, which is a component of personnel costs and is included in sales and
marketing expenses, was $488,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended
November 30, 2008 as compared to $605,000 and $830,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods
of the prior year. Marketing-related costs increased $384,000 in the nine months ended November 30,
2008 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily related to tradeshows,
events and advertising.
We expect that, in the future, sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars
as we hire additional personnel and spend more on marketing programs, but remain relatively
constant or decrease slightly as a percentage of revenue. In addition, we expect that stock-based
compensation charges included in sales and marketing expenses will vary over the long term
depending on the timing and magnitude of equity incentive grants during each quarter.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include compensation and related expenses for our
executive, finance and accounting, human resources, legal and information management personnel,
third-party professional services, travel and entertainment expenses, other corporate expenses and
overhead not allocated to cost of revenue, research and development expenses, or sales and
marketing expenses. Third-party professional services primarily include outside legal, audit and
tax-related consulting costs.

Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended

30, 2008 increased approximately $706,000 and $3.0 million, respectively, or 36.1% and 68.4%,
respectively, over the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to
increased personnel costs, increased third-party professional services, principally for legal, and
accounting and auditing expenses associated with being a public company. Personnel costs increased
approximately $254,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended November
30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, primarily as a result of
headcount increases and stock-based compensation expense. Personnel costs include all compensation,
benefits and hiring costs. General and administrative headcount increased to 41 at November 30,
2008 from 34 at November 30, 2007. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and
administrative expenses, which is included in personnel costs, was $424,000 and $1.2 million,
respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to $340,000 and
$569,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. Third-party professional
services costs increased approximately $189,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, in the three and
nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year,
primarily due to costs associated with being a public company related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
and audit expenses.
We expect that, in the future, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute
dollars but remain relatively constant or decrease slightly as a percentage of revenue. We expect
that stock-based compensation charges included in general and administrative expenses will vary
over the long term depending on the timing and magnitude of equity incentive grants during each
quarter.

develop acquired assortment optimization technology. In June 2008 we began amortizing intangible
assets associated with those rights. We are amortizing all acquired intangible assets over a
remaining life of approximately eleven months to eight years on a
22
straight-line basis, which, absent any impairment, will result in quarterly amortization
expense of approximately $330,000 in operating expenses and $150,000 in cost of revenue through the
three months ending August 31, 2009 and declining amounts thereafter.

respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding
periods of the prior year. The decrease in the three months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily
due to decreased interest income resulting from lower interest rates on invested cash balances. The
increase in the nine months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in interest
expense resulting from the payoff of interest-bearing debt in August 2007.
Interest income decreased $447,000 and $222,000, respectively, in the three and nine months
ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, primarily due to
lower interest rates on invested cash balances.
Interest expense decreased $1.2 million in the nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to
the corresponding period of the prior year as we paid off approximately $13.0 million in
interest-bearing debt with proceeds from our IPO in August 2007.
Other income (expense) decreased $254,000 and $304,000, respectively, in the three and nine
months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Other
income (expense) for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily due to foreign
exchange gains of $37,000 and losses of ($20,000), respectively, compared to foreign exchange gains
of $297,000 and $388,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Three and Nine months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended
November 30, 2007. In the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded an income tax
(benefit) expense of ($91,000) and $1,000, respectively, compared to expense of $181,000 and
$319,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. The effective tax rate for
the nine months ended November 30, 2008 was 4% based on our estimated taxable income for the year,
less certain discrete items. The discrete items were recorded as a result of the enactment of the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and changes in our prior year estimated tax liability
based on actual tax payments made with tax returns filed during our third quarter. Under the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act, corporations otherwise eligible for bonus first-year
depreciation may instead elect to claim a refund for R&D tax credits generated prior to 2006. Our
estimate of the refundable credit under this Act is $83,000. Excluding the tax impact of the
discrete items, we would have recorded a tax expense primarily for federal alternative minimum
income taxes, state income taxes in states where we do not have net operating loss carryforwards,
and foreign taxes. The income tax expense in the corresponding periods of the prior year was for
federal alternative minimum income taxes, state income taxes in states where we have no net
operating loss carryforwards, and foreign taxes.
Our effective tax rate differs from our statutory rate in the three and nine month periods
ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 primarily due to the utilization of our net operating loss
carryforwards to offset taxes payable for federal purposes and for certain states.
Since inception, we have incurred a cumulative operating loss and, accordingly, have recorded
a provision for income taxes primarily for federal alternative minimum income taxes, state income
taxes principally in states where we have no net operating loss
23
carryforwards and foreign taxes. At February 29, 2008, we had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $54.1 million and $35.3 million, respectively, to offset future
taxable income.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Total stock-based compensation expense decreased $254,000 and increased $2.8 million,
respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding
periods of the prior year. The decrease in the three months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily
due to our revisions of the number of awards (primarily PSUs) expected to vest, a reduction in the
number of unvested PSUs outstanding as some shares vested in July 2008, and a decrease in
non-employee stock-based compensation expense due to a decrease in the number of unvested shares
outstanding, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million
related to options and awards granted to new and existing employees subsequent to November 30,
2007. The increase in the nine months ended November 30, 2008 was primarily due to options granted
to new and existing employees subsequent to November 30, 2007 and the award of PSUs and RSUs,
partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million of stock-based compensation expense resulting from
our revisions of our estimate of the number of awards (primarily PSUs) expected to vest and lower
PSU expense as some shares vested in July 2008. See Note 5 of Notes to our Consolidated Financial
Statements contained herein for further explanation of how we derive and account for these
estimates. We expect that stock-based compensation expense will vary in the future depending upon
the magnitude of equity incentive grants and our revisions of our estimate of the number of shares
expected to vest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At November 30, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents,
and marketable securities of $85.7 million, net accounts receivable of $12.4 million, and available
borrowing capacity under our credit facility of $14.8 million.
In August 2007, we completed our IPO, in which we raised approximately $57.6 million in net
proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.6 million and other offering
costs of $3.8 million. Prior to our IPO, we historically funded our operations primarily through
private sales of our convertible preferred stock, customer payments for our software services and
borrowings from our bank loans and lines of credit.
In April 2008 we entered into a new revolving line of credit with a total borrowing capacity
of $15.0 million, which was reduced by an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $200,000
associated with an operating lease, and terminated our existing $5.0 million credit facility. Our
new $15.0 million revolving line of credit includes a number of covenants and restrictions with
which we must comply. For example, our ability to incur debt, grant liens, make investments, enter
into mergers and acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase our outstanding common stock, change our
business, enter into transactions with affiliates, and dispose of assets is limited. To secure the
line of credit, we have granted our lender a first priority security interest in substantially all
of our assets. At the filing date of this Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with all loan covenants
and had no outstanding debt under the line of credit.

Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities in any period are significantly influenced by the
number of customers using our software, the number and size of new customer contracts, the timing
of renewals of existing customer contracts, and the timing of payments by these customers. Our
largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers, which results in
decreases to accounts receivable. Our primary uses of cash in operating activities are for
personnel-related expenditures and lease payments for our facilities and data centers. Our cash
flows from operating activities in any period will continue to be significantly affected by the
extent to which we add new customers, renew existing customers, collect payments from our customers
and increase personnel to grow our business.
In the nine months ended November 30, 2008, we generated $10.8 million of net cash from
operating activities, principally due to $9.2 million of non-cash charges for stock-based
compensation expense, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets, increased
24
collection efforts which resulted in a $6.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, and a
$4.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments due to
certain vendors as well as the seasonality of certain compensation-related payments, offset by a
$5.3 million decrease in deferred revenue associated with the fact that we increasingly bill
customers on an annual basis rather than billing multiple years in advance, and a $3.4 million net
loss. In the nine months ended November 30, 2007, we generated $8.2 million of net cash from
operating activities, principally due to customer cash collections that resulted in an increase in
deferred revenue of $10.4 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $3.3
million. In addition, we used $1.8 million of cash to pay down accounts payable balances. This was
largely offset by a $1.1 million increase in accrued compensation due to the timing of variable
bonus payments and increased overall variable pay due to growth in headcount.
Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have been capital expenditures on equipment located in our
third-party data center and net purchases of marketable securities and payments for an acquisition.
In the nine months ended November 30, 2008, we used $27.7 million of net cash in investing
activities related to the net purchases of marketable securities of $24.6 million, capital
expenditures of $2.3 million and the purchase of intangible assets of $1.0 million. In the nine
months ended November 30, 2007, we used $45.2 million of net cash in investing activities. We used
$56.7 million of cash for net purchases of marketable securities as we invested cash raised from
our IPO and received $15.8 million on maturities of marketable securities. We used $3.0 million for
capital expenditures largely for our data centers and infrastructure to support the companys
growth. We used $1.3 million to pay down notes payable to former TradePoint shareholders.
Financing Activities
Our primary financing activities have been issuances of common stock related to our IPO,
exercises of stock options, and borrowings and repayments under our credit facilities.
In the nine months ended November 30, 2008, our primary financing activities were related to
the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, net of repurchases and the
issuance of common stock under our ESPP, which totaled $2.3 million. In the nine months ended
November 30, 2007, our primary financing activities were $57.6 million of net cash proceeds from
our IPO in August 2007 and the payoff of our $10.0 million term loan and our $3.0 million revolving
line of credit balance.
We believe that cash provided by operating activities, together with our cash, cash
equivalents, and marketable securities balances at November 30, 2008, will be sufficient to fund
our projected operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. We may need to raise
additional capital or incur additional indebtedness to continue to fund our operations over the
long term. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of
revenue growth, our rate of expansion of our workforce, the timing and extent of our expansion into
new markets, the timing of introductions of new functionality and enhancements to our software, the
timing and size of any acquisitions of other companies or assets and the continuing market
acceptance of our software. We may enter into arrangements for potential acquisitions of
complementary businesses, services or technologies, which also could require us to seek additional
equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
Contractual Obligations
Our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space and
data centers and a note payable to a former TradePoint shareholder. Our lease agreements generally
do not provide us with the option to renew. Our future operating lease obligations will change if
we enter into new lease agreements upon the expiration of our existing lease agreements and if we
enter into new lease agreements to expand our operations.
In May 2008, we entered into a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide agreement with a research
and consulting firm pursuant to which we acquired rights to develop our own products based upon the
firms assortment optimization technology and to integrate these into our software service offering
for sale initially to the retail industry. In consideration, we committed to pay an aggregate of
$1,450,000 in installments through January 2009. Upon delivery of the source code, this technology
and other intangible assets conveyed have been recorded as intangible assets and are being
amortized into operating expenses over an estimated life of approximately 18 months.

At November 30, 2008, the future minimum payments under these commitments as well as payments
due under our note payable were as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such
as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other
contractually narrow or limited purposes, nor do we have any undisclosed material transactions or
commitments involving related persons or entities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 161. SFAS No. 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to
disclose information that should enable financial statement users to understand how and why a
company uses derivative instruments and related hedging activities and how they affect a companys
financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early
application is encouraged and accordingly, we adopted SFAS No. 161 in August 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, or SFAS
No. 141R, which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures
in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R also establishes
principles around how goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase
should be recognized and measured, as well as provides guidelines on the disclosure requirements on
the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and we will adopt it beginning in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets, or FSP FAS 142-3. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP
FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is
prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 on our
consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
As we fund our international operations, our cash and cash equivalents could be affected by
changes in exchange rates. To date, the foreign currency exchange rate effect on our cash and cash
equivalents has not been significant.
We operate internationally and generally our international sales agreements are denominated in
the country of origin currency, and therefore our revenue is subject to foreign currency risk.
Also, some of our operating expenses and cash flows are denominated in foreign currency and, thus,
are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes
in the exchange rates for the British Pound and the Euro. We periodically enter into foreign
exchange forward contracts to reduce exposure in non-United States dollar denominated receivables.
We formally assess, both at a hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives
used in hedging transactions are highly effective in negating currency risk. As of November 30,
2008, we had two outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts to sell Euros for U.S. dollars in
six months and 18 months, respectively, with a notional principal of 1.2 million (or approximately
$1.5 million) each. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or
trading purposes.
We apply SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, with respect to our international
operations, which are primarily sales and marketing support entities. We have remeasured our
accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency and
recorded the resulting gains (losses) within other income (expense), net for the period. We
remeasure all monetary assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate at the end of the
period, non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses
at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency losses were ($20,000) in
the nine months ended November 30, 2008.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $28.5 million and marketable securities totaling
$57.2 million at November 30, 2008. These amounts were invested primarily in government securities
and corporate notes and bonds, with credit ratings of at least single A or better, and money market
funds and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. By policy, we limit the amount of credit
exposure to any one issuer and we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative
purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes with capital
preservation as the primary objective.
Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in
interest rates. Fixed rate interest securities may have their market value adversely impacted due
to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected
if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short
of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are
forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However,
because we classify our marketable securities as held-to-maturity, no gains or losses are
recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or
declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary. We considered the historical
volatility of short-term interest rates and determined that it was reasonably possible that an
adverse change of 100 basis-points could be experienced in the near term. A hypothetical increase
in interest rates of 100 basis-points could result in a $330,000 decrease in the fair values of our
marketable securities at November 30, 2008 and $170,000 at February 29, 2008.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of November 30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. This evaluation (the controls evaluation) was done under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO). Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed such that information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have
27
concluded that as of November 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the
SEC and to ensure that material information relating to DemandTec, Inc. and our consolidated
subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period
when our periodic reports are being prepared.
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have
been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred in the three months ended
November 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting means 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.
28
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time involved in legal matters that arise in the normal course of
business. Based on information currently available, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution
of any current matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other documents we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, are risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking
statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other written and oral
communications from time to time. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables
affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable
indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
We have a history of losses and have not achieved profitability in any fiscal year. We
experienced net losses of $4.5 million, $1.5 million and $2.7 million in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007
and fiscal 2006, respectively, and a net loss of $3.4 million in the nine months ended November 30,
2008. At November 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $75.8 million. We may continue to
incur net losses in the future. In addition, we expect our cost of revenue and operating expenses
to continue to increase as we implement initiatives to continue to grow our business. We also
expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses associated with being a public
company. If our revenue does not increase to offset these expected increases in cost of revenue and
operating expenses, we will not be profitable. You should not consider our revenue growth in recent
periods as indicative of our future performance. In fact, in future periods our revenue could
decline. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or maintain
profitability in the future.
The effects of the recent global economic crisis may adversely impact our business, operating
results or financial condition.
The recent global economic crisis has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower
levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, extreme volatility in
credit, equity and fixed income markets, and a growing economic contraction. The retail and
consumer product industries have been and may continue to be especially hard hit by these economic
developments. For example, current or potential customers may not have funds to enter into or renew
their agreements for our software and services, which could cause them to delay, decrease or cancel
purchases of our software and services or to not pay us or to delay paying us for previously
purchased software and services. Financial institution failures may cause us to incur increased
expenses or make it more difficult either to utilize our existing debt capacity or otherwise obtain
financing for our operations, investing activities (including the financing of any future
acquisitions), or financing activities. Finally, our investment portfolio, which includes
short-term debt securities, is subject to general credit, liquidity, counterparty, market and
interest rate risks that may be exacerbated by the recent global financial crisis. If the banking
system or the fixed income, credit or equity markets continue to deteriorate or remain volatile,
our investment portfolio may be impacted and the values and liquidity of our investments could be
adversely affected.
We may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in our operating results due to a number of
factors, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our
operating results to fall below expectations.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many
of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a
period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an
indication of our future performance. If our operating results fall below the expectations of
investors or securities analysts or below the guidance, if any, we provide to the market, the price
of our common stock could decline substantially.
Factors that may affect our operating results include:
29
|
|
|
our ability to increase sales to existing customers and to renew agreements with our
existing customers, particularly larger retail customers; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to attract new customers, particularly larger retail customers and consumer
products customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
outages and capacity constraints with our hosting partners; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in demand for our software; |
|
|
|
|
volatility in the sales of our solutions on a quarterly basis; |
|
|
|
|
reductions in customers budgets for information technology purchases and delays in their
purchasing cycles, particularly in light of recent deteriorating economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to develop and implement in a timely manner new software and enhancements
that meet customer requirements; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to hire, train and retain key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
any significant changes in the competitive dynamics of our market, including new entrants
or substantial discounting of products; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses; |
|
|
|
|
any significant change in our facilities-related costs; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of hiring personnel and of large expenses such as those for trade shows and
third-party professional services; |
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions in the retail and CP markets; and |
|
|
|
|
the impact of a recession or any other adverse economic conditions on our business,
including a delay in signing or a failure to sign significant customer agreements. |
We have in the past experienced, and we may continue to experience, significant variations in
our level of sales on a quarterly basis. Such variations in our sales, or delays in signing or a
failure to sign significant customer agreements, may lead to significant fluctuations in our cash
flows and deferred revenue on a quarterly basis. If we experience a delay in signing or a failure
to sign a significant customer agreement in any particular quarter, then our operating results for
such quarter and for subsequent quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts or
investors, which may result in a decline in our stock price.
We depend on a small number of customers, which are primarily large retailers, and our growth, if
any, depends upon our ability to add new and retain existing large customers.
We derive a significant percentage of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers,
and the loss of any one or more of those customers could decrease our revenue and harm our current
and future operating results. Our retail customers accounted for 86% of our revenue in the nine
months ended November 30, 2008 and 90% of our revenue in fiscal 2008. In the nine months ended
November 30, 2008, our two largest customers accounted for approximately 24% of our revenue, and in
fiscal 2008 our three largest customers accounted for approximately 29% of our revenue. Although
our largest customers may vary from period to period, we anticipate that we will continue to depend
on revenue from a relatively small number of retail customers. Further, our ability to grow revenue
depends on our ability to increase sales to existing customers, to renew agreements with our
existing customers and to attract new customers. If economic factors continue to negatively impact
the retail market segment, it could reduce the amount that these customers spend on information
technology, and in particular CDM software, or could possibly result in the failure of one or more
of our significant customers, which would adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.
Our business depends substantially on customers renewing their agreements for our software. Any
decline in our customer renewals would harm our operating results.
30
To maintain and grow our revenue, we must achieve and maintain high levels of customer
renewals. We sell our software pursuant to agreements with initial terms that are generally one to
three years in length. Our customers have no obligation to renew their agreements after the
expiration of their term, and we cannot assure you that these agreements will be renewed on
favorable terms or at all. The fees we charge for our solutions vary based on a number of factors,
including the software, service and hosting components provided and the duration of the agreement
term. Our initial agreements with customers may include fees for software, services or hosting
components that may not be needed upon renewal. As a consequence, upon renewal of these agreements,
if any, we may receive lower total fees. In addition, if an agreement is renewed for a term longer
than the preceding term, we may receive total fees in excess of total fees received in the initial
agreement but a smaller average annual fee because we generally charge lower annual fees in
connection with agreements with longer terms. In any of these situations, we would need to sell
additional software, services or hosting in order to maintain the same level of annual fees from
that customer. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew these agreements, sell
additional software or services or sell to new customers. In the past, some customers have elected
not to renew their agreements with us or have renewed on less favorable terms. For instance,
Sainsbury plc, which accounted for 21.2% of our fiscal 2006 revenue, did not renew its agreement
when its term expired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. We have limited historical data with
respect to customer renewals, so we may not be able to predict future customer renewal rates and
amounts accurately. Our customers renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number
of factors, including their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our software, the price of our
software, the prices of competing products and services, consolidation within our customer base or
reductions in our customers information technology spending levels. If our customers do not renew
their agreements for our software for any reason, or if they renew on less favorable terms, our
revenue will decline.
Because we recognize revenue ratably over the terms of our customer agreements, the lack of
renewals or the failure to enter into new agreements will not immediately be reflected in our
operating results but will negatively affect revenue in future quarters.
We recognize revenue ratably over the terms of our customer agreements, which typically range
from one to three years. As a result, most of our quarterly revenue results from agreements entered
into in previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed agreements in a particular
quarter, as well as any renewals at reduced annual dollar amounts, will generally not be reflected
in any significant manner in our revenue for that quarter, but it will negatively affect revenue in
future quarters.
Our sales cycles are long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable time
and expense.
We market our software to large retailers and CP companies, and sales to these customers are
complex efforts that involve educating our customers about the use and benefits of our software,
including its technical capabilities. Customers typically undertake a significant evaluation
process that can result in a lengthy sales cycle, in some cases exceeding twelve months. We spend
substantial time, effort and money in our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will
generate long-term agreements. In addition, customer sales decisions are frequently influenced by
macroeconomic factors, budget constraints, multiple approvals, and unplanned administrative,
processing and other delays. If sales expected from a specific customer are not realized, our
revenue and, thus, our future operating results could be adversely impacted.
Our business will be adversely affected if the retail and CP industries do not widely adopt
technology solutions incorporating scientific techniques to understand and predict consumer
demand to make pricing and other merchandising decisions.
Our software addresses the new and emerging market of applying econometric modeling and
optimization techniques in software to enable retailers and CP companies to understand and predict
consumer demand in order to improve their pricing, promotion, and other merchandising and marketing
decisions. These decisions are fundamental to retailers and CP companies; accordingly, our target
customers may be hesitant to accept the risk inherent in applying and relying on new technologies
or methodologies to supplant traditional methods. Our business will not be successful if retailers
and CP companies do not accept the use of software to enable more strategic pricing and other
merchandising decisions.
If we are unable to continue to enhance our current software or to develop or acquire new
software to address changing consumer demand management business requirements, we may not be able
to attract or retain customers.
Our ability to attract new customers, renew agreements with existing customers and maintain or
increase revenue from existing customers will depend in large part on our ability to anticipate the
changing needs of the retail and CP industries, to enhance existing software and to introduce new
software that meet those needs. Any new software may not be introduced in a timely or
cost-effective manner and may not achieve market acceptance, meet customer expectations, or
generate revenue sufficient to recoup the cost of
31
development or acquisition of such software. If we are unable to successfully develop or
acquire new software and enhance our existing applications to meet customer requirements, we may
not be able to attract or retain customers.
Understanding and predicting consumer behavior is dependent upon the continued availability of
accurate and relevant data from retailers and third-party data aggregators. If we are unable to
obtain access to relevant data, or if we do not enhance our core science and econometric modeling
methodologies to adjust for changing consumer behavior, our software may become less competitive
or obsolete.
The ability of our econometric models to forecast consumer demand depends upon the assumptions
we make in designing the models and in the quality of the data we use to build them. Our models
rely on point of sale, or POS, data provided to us directly by our retail customers and by
third-party data aggregators. Consumer behavior is affected by many factors, including evolving
consumer needs and preferences, new competitive product offerings, more targeted merchandising and
marketing, emerging industry standards, and changing technology. Data adequately representing all
of these factors may not be readily available in certain geographies or in certain markets. In
addition, the relative importance of the variables that influence demand will change over time,
particularly with the continued growth of the Internet as a viable retail alternative and the
emergence of non-traditional marketing channels. If our retail customers are unable to collect POS
data or we are unable to obtain POS data from them or from third-party data aggregators, or if we
fail to enhance our core science and modeling methodologies to adjust for changes in consumer
behavior, customers may delay or decide against purchases or renewals of our software.
We rely on our management team and will need additional personnel to grow our business, and the
loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel
could harm our business.
Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our
management team and our other key personnel. Our professional services organization and other
customer-facing groups, in particular, play an instrumental role in ensuring our customers
satisfaction. In addition, our science, engineering and modeling team requires experts in
econometrics and advanced mathematics, and there are a limited number of individuals with the
education and training necessary to fill these roles should we experience employee departures. All
of our employees work for us on an at-will basis, and there is no assurance that any employee will
remain with us. Our competitors may be successful in recruiting and hiring members of our executive
management team or other key employees, and it may be difficult for us to find suitable
replacements on a timely basis. Many of the members of our management team and key employees are
substantially vested in their shares of our common stock or options to purchase shares of our
common stock, and therefore retention of these employees may be difficult in the highly competitive
market and geography in which we operate our business.
32
We have experienced growth in recent periods. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may
be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer service or address
competitive challenges adequately.
We have substantially expanded our overall business, headcount and operations in recent
periods. For instance, our headcount grew from 154 employees at February 28, 2006 to 251 employees
at February 29, 2008, and to 273 employees at November 30, 2008. This increase included an increase
in research and development headcount from 58 employees at February 28, 2006 to 99 employees at
February 29, 2008, and to 101 employees at November 30, 2008. In addition, our revenue grew from
$32.5 million in fiscal 2006 to $43.5 million in fiscal 2007, and to $61.3 million in fiscal 2008.
In the nine months ended November 30, 2008 our revenue was $55.7 million. We will need to continue
to expand our operations in order to increase our customer base and to develop additional software.
Increases in our customer base could create challenges in our ability to implement our software and
support our customers. In addition, we will be required to continue to improve our operational,
financial and management controls and our reporting procedures. As a result, we may be unable to
manage our business effectively in the future, which may negatively impact our operating results.
We have derived most of our revenue from sales to our retail customers. If our software is not
widely accepted by CP companies, our ability to grow our revenue and achieve our strategic
objectives will be harmed.
To date, we have derived most of our revenue from retail customers. In the nine months ended
November 30, 2008 we generated approximately 86% of our revenue from sales to retail customers,
while we generated approximately 14% of our revenue from sales to CP companies. In fiscal 2008, we
generated approximately 90% of our revenue from sales to retail customers and approximately 10%
from sales to CP companies, compared to 94% and 6%, respectively, in fiscal 2007. In order to grow
our revenue and to achieve our long-term strategic objectives, it is important for us to expand our
sales to derive a more significant portion of our revenue from new and existing CP customers. If CP
companies do not widely accept our software, our revenue growth and business will be harmed.
We face intense competition that could prevent us from increasing our revenue and prevent us from
becoming profitable.
The market for our software is highly competitive and we expect competition to intensify in
the future. Competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services they
offer. Currently, we face competition from traditional enterprise software application vendors such
as Oracle Corporation and SAP AG, niche retail software vendors targeting smaller retailers such as
KSS Group, and statistical tool vendors such as SAS, Inc. To a lesser extent, we also compete or
potentially compete with marketing information providers for the CP industry such as Nielsen and
Information Resources, Inc., as well as business consulting firms such as McKinsey & Company, Inc.,
Deloitte & Touche LLP and Accenture LLP, which offer merchandising consulting services and
analyses. Because the market for CDM solutions is relatively new, we expect to face additional
competition from other established and emerging companies and, potentially, from
internally-developed applications. This competition could result in increased pricing pressure,
reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses and a failure to increase, or the
loss of, market share.
Competitive offerings may have better performance, lower prices and broader acceptance than
our software. Many of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater
name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, sales,
research and development, marketing and other resources than we have. As a result, our competition
may be able to offer more effective software or may opt to include software competitive to our
software as part of broader, enterprise software solutions at little or no charge.
We may not be able to maintain or improve our competitive position against our current or
future competitors, and our failure to do so could seriously harm our business.
We rely on two third-party service providers to host our software, and any interruptions or
delays in services from these third parties could impair the delivery of our software as a
service.
We deliver our software to customers over the Internet. The software is hosted in two
third-party data centers located in California. We do not control the operation of either of these
facilities, and we rely on these service providers to provide all power, connectivity and physical
security. These facilities could be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods,
fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They are also subject to
break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. The
occurrence of a natural disaster or intentional misconduct, a decision to close these facilities
without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in
our services. Additionally, because we currently rely upon disk and tape bond back-up procedures,
but do not operate or maintain a fully-redundant back-up site, there is an increased risk of
service interruption.
33
If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to our customers data,
our operations may be perceived as not being secure, customers may curtail or stop using our
software and we may incur significant liabilities.
Our operations involve the storage and transmission of our customers confidential
information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information,
litigation and possible liability. If our security measures are breached as a result of third-party
action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized
access to our customers data, our reputation will be damaged, our business may suffer and we could
incur significant liability. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage
systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may
be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an
actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of
our security measures could be harmed and we could lose potential sales and existing customers.
If we fail to respond to rapidly changing technological developments or evolving industry
standards, our software may become less competitive or obsolete.
Because our software is designed to operate on a variety of network, hardware and software
platforms using standard Internet tools and protocols, we will need to modify and enhance our
software continuously to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software,
communication, browser and database technologies. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and
nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or
technologies, could increase our research and development expenses. If we are unable to respond in
a timely manner to these rapid technological developments, our software may become less marketable
and less competitive or obsolete.
Our use of open source and third-party technology could impose limitations on our ability to
commercialize our software.
We incorporate open source software into our software. Although we monitor our use of open
source software closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by United
States courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes
unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our software. In that
event, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our
software, to re-engineer our technology or to discontinue offering our software in the event
re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition. We also incorporate certain third-party
technologies, including software programs and algorithms, into our software and may desire to
incorporate additional third-party technologies in the future. Licenses to new third-party
technologies may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be
harmed and we could be required to incur significant expenses in order to enforce our rights.
To protect our proprietary technology, including our core statistical and mathematic models
and our software, we rely on trade secret, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark and other
proprietary rights laws and confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties, all of
which offer only limited protection. Despite our efforts, the steps we have taken to protect our
proprietary rights may not be adequate to preclude misappropriation of our proprietary information
or infringement of our intellectual property rights, and our ability to police that
misappropriation or infringement is uncertain, particularly in countries outside of the United
States, including China where a third party conducts a portion of our development activity for us.
Further, we do not know whether any of our pending patent applications will result in the issuance
of patents or whether the examination process will require us to narrow our claims. Our current
patents and any future patents that may be issued may be contested, circumvented or invalidated.
Moreover, the rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with proprietary
protection or competitive advantages, and, as with any technology, competitors may be able to
develop technologies similar or superior to our own now or in the future.
Protecting against the unauthorized use of our trade secrets, patents, copyrights, service
marks, trademarks and other proprietary rights is expensive, difficult and not always possible.
Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of
others. This litigation could be costly and divert management resources, either of which could harm
our business, operating results and financial condition.
Furthermore, many of our current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate
substantially greater resources to enforcing their intellectual property rights than we do.
Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon
or misappropriating our intellectual property.
34
We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent the unauthorized use or the
reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that
are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property. The enforcement of our intellectual
property rights also depends on our legal actions against these infringers being successful, but we
cannot be sure these actions will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed.
Furthermore, effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may
not be available in every country in which our services are available or where we have development
work performed. In addition, the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope
of protection of intellectual property rights in Internet-related industries are uncertain and
still evolving.
Material defects or errors in our software could harm our reputation, result in significant
expense to us and impair our ability to sell our software.
Our software is inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors that may cause
it to fail to perform in accordance with customer expectations. Any defects that cause
interruptions to the availability of our software could result in lost or delayed market acceptance
and sales, require us to pay sales credits or issue refunds to our customers, cause existing
customers not to renew their agreements and prospective customers not to purchase our software,
divert development resources, hurt our reputation and expose us to claims for liability. After the
release of our software, defects or errors may also be identified from time to time by our internal
team and by our customers. The costs incurred in correcting any material defects or errors in our
software may be substantial.
Because our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand sales of our software to
customers located outside of the United States, our business increasingly will be susceptible to
risks associated with international operations.
As part of our strategy, we intend to expand our international operations. We have limited
experience operating in international jurisdictions. In the nine months ended November 30, 2008, in
fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2007, 14%, 12% and 6%, respectively, of our revenue was attributable to
sales to companies located outside the United States. Our limited experience in operating our
business outside of the United States increases the risk that any international expansion efforts
that we may undertake will not be successful. In addition, conducting international operations
subjects us to new risks that we have not generally faced in the United States. These include:
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
|
localization of our software, including translation of the interface of our software into
foreign languages and creation of localized agreements; |
|
|
|
|
longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts
receivable; |
|
|
|
|
tariffs and trade barriers and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability
to sell or develop our software in certain international markets; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in managing and staffing international operations; |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of international value
added tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; |
|
|
|
|
the burdens of complying with a wide variety of international laws and different legal
standards, including local data privacy laws and local consumer protection laws that could
regulate retailers permitted pricing and promotion practices; |
|
|
|
|
political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security
concerns in general; and |
|
|
|
|
reduced or varied protection of intellectual property rights in some countries. |
The occurrence of any of these risks could negatively affect our international business and,
consequently, our results of operations.
35
Because portions of our software development, sustaining engineering, quality assurance and
testing, operations and customer support are provided by a third party in China, our business
will be susceptible to risks associated with having substantial operations overseas.
Portions of our software development, sustaining engineering, quality assurance and testing,
operations and customer support are provided by Sonata Services Limited, or Sonata, a third party
located in Shanghai, China. As of November 30, 2008, in addition to our 129 employees in our
production operations, support services, science, product management and engineering groups located
in the United States, an additional 61 Sonata personnel were dedicated to our projects. Remotely
coordinating a third party in China requires significant management attention and substantial
resources, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in coordinating these
activities. Furthermore, if there is a disruption to these operations in China, it will require
that substantial management attention and time be devoted to achieving resolution. If Sonata were
to stop providing these services or if there was widespread departure of trained Sonata personnel,
this could cause a disruption in our product development process, quality assurance and product
release cycles and customer support organizations and require us to incur additional costs to
replace and train new personnel.
Enforcement of intellectual property rights and contractual rights may be more difficult in
China. China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and the array of new laws and
regulations may not be sufficient to cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In
particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited
volume of published decisions and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of
these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. Accordingly, the enforcement of our contractual
arrangements with Sonata, our confidentiality agreements with each Sonata employee dedicated to our
work, and the interpretation of the laws governing this relationship are subject to uncertainty.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate
financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our
ability to operate our business and investors views of us.
Ensuring that we have internal financial and accounting controls and procedures adequate to
produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that
needs to be re-evaluated frequently. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and
procedures. In particular, in fiscal 2009, we must perform system and process evaluation and
testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent
registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the
subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in
our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our
compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend
significant management time on compliance-related issues. Moreover, if we are not able to comply
with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered
public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting
that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our common stock could decline and
we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NASDAQ Stock Market, the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional
financial and management resources.
Furthermore, implementing any appropriate changes to our internal control over financial
reporting may entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, may take
a significant period of time to complete and may distract our officers, directors and employees
from the operation of our business. These changes, however, may not be effective in maintaining the
adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain that
adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could
increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business. In
addition, investors perceptions that our internal control over financial reporting is inadequate
or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements may adversely affect our stock
price. Our independent registered public accounting firm identified two material weaknesses in
internal controls with respect to the historical financial statements of TradePoint Solutions, Inc.
(TradePoint) relating to revenue recognition and the availability of supporting documentation for
its financial statements. After we acquired TradePoint, we integrated the accounting processes
associated with TradePoint into our financial and accounting systems. While neither we nor our
independent registered public accounting firm has identified deficiencies in our internal control
over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, there can be no assurance that
material weaknesses will not be subsequently identified.
36
We may expand through acquisitions of other companies, which may divert our managements
attention and result in unexpected operating difficulties, increased costs and dilution to our
stockholders.
Our business strategy may include acquiring complementary software, technologies or
businesses. An acquisition may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In
particular, we may encounter difficulties in assimilating or integrating the businesses,
technologies, services, products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, especially if
the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, and we may have difficulty
retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in management and ownership.
Acquisitions may also disrupt our ongoing business, divert our resources and require significant
management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our current
business. We also may be required to use a substantial amount of our cash or issue equity
securities to complete an acquisition, which could deplete our cash reserves and dilute our
existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Moreover, we
cannot assure you that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition would be realized or that we
would not be exposed to unknown liabilities.
In addition, an acquisition may negatively impact our results of operations because we may
incur additional expenses relating to one-time charges, write-downs or tax-related expenses. For
example, our acquisition of TradePoint in November 2006 resulted in $321,000 and $968,000 of
amortization of acquired intangible assets in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, respectively, and will
result in amortization of approximately $970,000 in fiscal 2009 and declining amounts in the
following eight years.
If one or more of our key strategic relationships were to become impaired or if these third
parties were to align with our competitors, our business could be harmed.
We have relationships with a number of third parties whose products, technologies and services
complement our software. Many of these third parties also compete with us or work with our
competitors. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with the key third parties that
currently recommend our software or that provide consulting services on our software
implementations or if these third parties were to begin to recommend our competitors products and
services, our business could be harmed.
Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology could harm our business.
Third parties could claim that our software infringes their proprietary rights. In recent
years, there has been significant litigation involving patents and other intellectual property
rights, and we expect that infringement claims may increase as the number of products and
competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur. In addition, to the extent that we gain
greater visibility and market exposure as a public company, we will face a higher risk of being the
subject of intellectual property infringement claims. Any claims of infringement by a third party,
even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial defense costs and could distract our
management from our business. Furthermore, a party making such a claim, if successful, could secure
a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages. A judgment could also include an injunction
or other court order that could prevent us from offering our software. In addition, we might be
required to seek a license for the use of the infringed intellectual property, which may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Alternatively, we might be required to
develop non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense and might
ultimately not be successful.
Third parties may also assert infringement claims relating to our software against our
customers. Any of these claims might require us to initiate or defend potentially protracted and
costly litigation on their behalf, regardless of the merits of these claims, because in certain
situations we agree to indemnify our customers from claims of infringement of proprietary rights of
third parties. If any of these claims succeeds, we might be forced to pay damages on behalf of our
customers, which could materially adversely affect our business.
Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial
reporting fluctuations and affect our reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards or practices could have a significant effect on our reported
results and might affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective.
New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have
occurred in the past and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of
current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our
business. For example, during its November 13, 2008 meeting, the EITF reached a
consensus-for-exposure on Issue No. 08-1, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
agreeing to modify the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value threshold in Issue 00-21,
"Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The modification would allow the use of an
estimated selling price for undelivered elements for purposes of separating elements included in
multiple-element arrangements and allocating arrangement consideration when neither VSOE nor
acceptable third-party evidence of the selling price of the undelivered element are available. If
this standard is enacted, it could alter the timing of how we record revenue for future
arrangements. As the standard is not final, we cannot currently predict what the impact of these
changes could be on our future results.
37
We might require additional capital to support our business growth, and this capital might not be
available on acceptable terms, or at all.
We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require
additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new software or
enhance our existing software, enhance our operating infrastructure and acquire complementary
businesses and technologies. In April 2008, we secured a $15.0 million revolving credit line with a
financial institution that replaced our prior $5.0 million credit line in order to increase our
access to available capital. However, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings or enter
into additional credit agreements to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through
further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer
significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and
privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in
the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other
financial and operational matters that make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital
and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be
able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain
adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to
continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be
significantly limited.
Evolving regulation of the Internet may affect us adversely.
As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign
agencies becomes more likely. For example, we believe increased regulation is likely in the area of
data privacy, and laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing or use
of personal or consumer information could affect our customers ability to use and share data,
potentially reducing demand for our software and restricting our ability to store and process data
for our customers. In addition, taxation of software provided over the Internet or other charges
imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be
imposed. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchange
over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of
Internet-based software, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
We incur significantly increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our
management is required to devote substantial time to compliance efforts.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not
incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC
and the NASDAQ Global Market impose additional requirements on public companies, including enhanced
corporate governance practices. For example, the listing requirements for the NASDAQ Global Market
provide that listed companies satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to
independent directors, audit committees, distribution of annual and interim reports, stockholder
meetings, stockholder approvals, solicitation of proxies, conflicts of interest, stockholder voting
rights and codes of business conduct. Our management and other personnel need to devote a
substantial amount of time to complying with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and
regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more
time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to
attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors and board committees or as
executive officers and more expensive for us to obtain or maintain director and officer liability
insurance.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile in the past, may continue to be volatile,
and may decline.
The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in the past and may do so in the
future. Further, our common stock has limited trading history. Factors that could affect the
trading price of our common stock, many of which are beyond our control, include:
|
|
|
variations in our operating results; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations, new products and services, acquisitions,
strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections
or our failure to meet these projections; |
38
|
|
|
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by any
securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions in our industry, the retail industry and the economy as a whole; |
|
|
|
|
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market; |
|
|
|
|
lawsuits threatened or filed against us; |
|
|
|
|
adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to
our business; and |
|
|
|
|
the volume of trading in our common stock, including sales upon exercise of outstanding
options. |
In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences a
loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons
unrelated to our business, operating results, or financial condition. The trading price of our
common stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry
even if these events do not directly affect us. Some companies that have had volatile market prices
for their securities have had securities class actions filed against them. A suit filed against us,
regardless of its merits or outcome, could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert
managements attention.
Future sales of shares by existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur,
could cause our stock price to decline.
If our existing stockholders, particularly our directors and executive officers and the
venture capital funds affiliated with our former directors, sell substantial amounts of our common
stock in the public market, or are perceived by the public market as intending to sell, the trading
price of our common stock could decline.
If securities analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable research about our
business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that
securities analysts publish about us or our business. We have limited research coverage by
securities analysts. If we do not obtain further securities analyst coverage, or if one or more of
the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish unfavorable research about our business,
our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our
company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which
could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
Insiders and other affiliates have substantial control over us and will be able to influence
corporate matters.
At November 30, 2008, our directors, executive officers and other affiliates beneficially
owned, in the aggregate, approximately 47.9% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these
stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder
approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions,
such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentration of ownership could
limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may have the effect of delaying or preventing
a third party from acquiring control over us.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or
prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.
We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after
the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to
our existing stockholders. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that
stockholders may consider favorable. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws:
|
|
|
authorize the issuance of blank check preferred stock that could be issued by our board
of directors to thwart a takeover attempt; |
39
|
|
|
establish a classified board of directors, as a result of which the successors to the
directors whose terms have expired will be elected to serve from the time of election and
qualification until the third annual meeting following their election; |
|
|
|

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|

|
|
None. |
|
(b) |
|
Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock |
|
|
|
|
In August 2007, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-143248) which the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission declared effective on August 8, 2007. Under the registration statement, we
registered the offering and sale of an aggregate of up to 6,900,000 shares of our common
stock. Of the registered shares, 6,000,000 of the shares of common stock issued pursuant to
the registration statement were sold at a price to the public of $11.00 per share. As a result
of the IPO, we raised a total of $57.6 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and expenses. |
|
|
|
|
On August 14, 2007 we used $3.0 million of our proceeds to settle our credit facility. On
August 16, 2007, we used $10.2 million of our proceeds to settle our term loan with Silicon
Valley Bank and Gold Hill Venture Lending 03, LP. We have used and intend to continue to use
the remaining net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate
purposes, including to finance our growth, develop new software and fund capital expenditures.
Additionally, we may choose to expand our current business through acquisitions of other
complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. Pending such uses, we plan to
invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities. |
|
|
|
|
As of November 30, 2008, approximately $44.4 million of aggregate net proceeds remained
invested in interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of
deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government or in operating
cash accounts. |
|
|
|
|
There were no material differences in the actual use of proceeds from our IPO as compared to
the planned use of proceeds as described in the final prospectus filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). |

Under our 1999 Equity Incentive Plan we granted options to purchase common stock that
permit the optionee to exercise the option before vesting, with us retaining a right to
repurchase any unvested shares at the optionees original cost in the event of the optionees
cessation of service. We ceased to grant further options with this repurchase feature after
December 2, 2005. This table shows the shares acquired by us upon our repurchase of unvested
shares upon employees terminations during the quarter ended November 30, 2008. |
