BITSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

JUNE 30, 2005

 

(1) Significant Accounting Policies

 

Bitstream Inc. (“Bitstream”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) comprise a software development company that enables customers worldwide to render high-quality text, browse the Web on wireless devices, select from the largest collection of fonts online, and customize documents over the Internet. Its core competencies include font technology, browsing technology, and publishing technology. Visit Bitstream on the Web at http://www.bitstream.com.

 

(a) Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein, without audit, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The balance sheet information at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed by the Company with the SEC on March 29, 2005. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, the statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the notes to each are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for these interim periods.

 

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

(b) Revenue Recognition (in thousands)

 

The Company derives revenue from the license of its software products, and from consulting and support and maintenance services. License revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the product has been delivered or services have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the fee is probable.

 

The Company receives and recognizes licensing fees and royalty revenue from: (1) Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) and Independent Software Vendor (“ISV”) customers for font rendering and page composition technologies; (2) direct and indirect licenses of software publishing applications for the creation, enhancement, management, transport, viewing and printing of electronic information; (3) direct sales of custom design and consulting services to end users such as graphic artists, desktop publishers, corporations and resellers; and (4) sales of fonts and publishing applications to foreign customers primarily through distributors.

 

5


Table of Contents

BITSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Certain OEM and ISV customers pay royalties only upon the sublicensing of the Company’s products to end-users. License revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the product has been delivered or services have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the fee is probable. Revenue from guaranteed minimum royalty licenses is recognized upon delivery of the software license when no further obligations of the Company exist, while revenue on pay-as-you-go licenses is recognized in the period when sublicenses to end users are reported to the Company by the OEM or ISV customer. In certain guaranteed minimum royalty licenses, the Company will enter into extended payment programs with creditworthy customers. Revenue related to extended payment programs is recognized when payment becomes due to the Company.

 

The Company recognizes license revenue from the resale of its products through various resellers. Resellers may sell the Company’s products in either an electronic format or CD format. Revenue is recognized if collection is probable, upon notification from the reseller that it has sold the product, or for a CD product, upon delivery of the software.

 

Revenue from end user product sales is recognized upon delivery of the software, net of estimated returns and allowances, and when collection is probable. Revenue related to extended payment programs is recognized when payment becomes due to the Company. End user sales include e-commerce revenue generated from the Company’s Web sites from the licensing of Bitstream fonts, and subscription licenses for the ThunderHawk browser, licensing of fonts developed by third parties and from fees received from referring customers to other sites for which we have referral agreements. Referral revenue is recognized at the net amount received by Bitstream and for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $4 and $3, respectively. There are minimal costs associated with the Referral Fee program, and primarily represent the time to load copies of the fonts provided by each participating foundry for addition to the MyFonts.com database. The Company expenses those costs as incurred.

 

The Company recognizes revenue under multiple-element arrangements using the residual method when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements under the arrangement. Under the residual method, the arrangement consideration is first allocated to undelivered elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value for each element and the residual amount is allocated to the delivered elements. Arrangement consideration allocated to undelivered elements is deferred and recognized as revenue when the elements are delivered, if all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company has established sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence for the value of its consulting, training, and other services, based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which software is licensed with consulting, training or other services.

 

Professional services include custom design and development and training. The Company recognizes professional services revenue under software development contracts as services are provided for per diem contracts or by using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term fixed price contracts. Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses become probable.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from support and maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the agreement.

 

Deferred revenue includes unearned software maintenance revenue and advance billings under software development contracts and page layout technology licenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Cost of revenue from software licenses consists primarily of royalties paid to third party developers and foundries whose products the Company sells, and costs to distribute the product, including the cost of the media on which it is delivered. Cost of revenue from services consists primarily of costs associated with customer support, consulting and custom product development services.

 

The Company generally warrants that its products will function substantially in accordance with documentation provided to customers for approximately 90 days following initial delivery. The Company has not incurred any expenses related to warranty claims.

 

(c) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its employee stock plans using the intrinsic value method. SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123.” disclosures include pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method of accounting had been used. Stock issued to non-employees is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123 and related interpretations. The following table sets forth the pro forma amounts of net loss and net loss per share that would have resulted if the Company accounted for its employee stock plans under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(d) Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places a majority of its cash investments in one highly-rated financial institution. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from any individual customers or groups of customers in any specific industry or by geographic area. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 15% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2005. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet risks as of June 30, 2005. At December 31, 2004, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2005 or June 30, 2004.

 

(e) Goodwill and other intangible assets (in thousands)

 

Goodwill consists of the following:

 

     June 30,
2005


   December 31,
2004


Acquisition of Type Solutions, Inc.

   $ 228    $ 228

Acquisition of Alaras Corporation.

     499      499
    

  

Total Goodwill

   $ 727    $ 727
    

  

 

The Company follows the accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets as required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are required to be reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company has determined that it does not have separate reporting units and thus goodwill is combined and valued based upon an enterprise-wide valuation.

 

In connection with its adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reassessed the useful lives and the classification of its identifiable intangible assets and determined that they continue to be appropriate.

 

The components of the Company’s amortized intangible assets follow:

(f) Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year account balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year’s presentation.

 

(g) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act contains provisions that might affect Bitstream’s future effective tax rate. The Company has begun its evaluation of the effects of the Act, but does not expect to be able to complete this evaluation until after the U.S. Treasury Department or Internal Revenue Service provide additional clarifying language on key elements of the Act. The Internal Revenue Service has stated publicly that it expects to release this guidance by the end of the calendar year. The Company expects to be in a position to complete its evaluation, and to record any resulting income taxes by the end of this fiscal year. While the Company is currently uncertain as to the impact of the Act on our annual tax rate, it does not anticipate the impact, if any, to be material.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) will require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) offers alternative methods for determining the fair value. In April 2005, the SEC issued a new rule that allows companies to implement Statement No. 123(R) at the beginning of the next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Company will implement SFAS 123(R) in the reporting period starting January 1, 2006. See “Stock-Based Compensation” above for the pro forma net income and net income per share amounts, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, as if the Company had used a fair-value-based method similar to the methods required under SFAS 123R to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. Although the Company has not yet determined whether the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, it is evaluating the requirements under SFAS 123R and expects the adoption to have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated statements of income and net income per share.

Basic earnings or loss per share is determined by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effect of the conversion of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants, based on the treasury stock method. In computing diluted earnings per share, common stock equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

If the Company had reported a profit for the six months ended June 30, 2005, potential common shares would have increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 742. If the Company had reported a profit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, potential common shares would have increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 633 and 784, respectively. In addition, there were warrants and options outstanding to purchase 563 and 577 shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and 572 and 568 shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, that were not included in the potential common share computations because their exercise prices were greater than the market price of the Company’s common stock. These common stock equivalents are antidilutive even when a profit is reported in the numerator.

(5) Commitments and contingencies (in thousands):

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities. In August 2003, the Company entered into a six-year lease agreement and moved its corporate offices. The new lease agreement commenced on September 1, 2003 and obligated the Company to make minimum lease payments plus its pro-rata share of future real estate tax increases and certain operating expense increases above the base year. This lease agreement also required the Company to obtain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $250, which resulted in $250 in cash being classified as restricted on the Company’s Balance Sheet. This amount will be reduced to $200 on the second anniversary and further to $150 on the fourth anniversary of the lease.

 

Royalties

 

The Company has certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is primarily based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense is recorded under cost of license revenue on our consolidated Statement of Operations.

Guarantees

 

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

 

Legal Actions

 

On June 24, 2003, Monotype Imaging Inc. (formerly Agfa Monotype Corporation) and International Typeface Corporation filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division claiming that the Company, through its TrueDoc software, infringes trademarks and copyrights and violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Judge Amy J. St. Eve of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division ruled in favor of Bitstream on all counts. In her opinion issued on July 12, 2005, the Court found that Bitstream was not liable under any claims of contributory infringement, contributory trademark infringement, or infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Previously, on April 21, 2005, the Court held that Bitstream was not liable under claims for direct copyright or trademark infringement or for vicariously infringing Monotype Imaging, Inc.’s and International Typeface Corporation’s copyrights. As a result of these two decisions, the Court entered judgment for Bitstream Inc. The Company has been notified that Monotype Imaging has filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court.

 

From time to time, in addition to the infringement case identified above, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of June 30, 2005, no liability has been recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that the Company’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of these contingencies.

The increase in license revenue was due to increases in sales to all customer classes; OEM, direct, and reseller. The increases were due to the acquisition of new customers, as well as from new sales and continuing royalties with existing customers across all product lines. Direct sales, including e-commerce sales, which increased $463 to $2,052 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1,589 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and $991 to $4,040 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $3,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. OEM license revenue increased $219 to $754 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $535 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $143 to $1,290 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1,147 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. License revenue from resellers increased $148 to $381 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $233 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and $221 to $666 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $445 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenue from services for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to increases in revenue from support contracts and consulting services associated with the Company’s publishing product line which increased $171 and $243 for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2004. The Company expects these revenue trends to continue and that the resulting cost of revenue and gross profit as a percentage of revenue to approximate the above percentages for the year.

 

The Company recognizes license revenue from direct sale of its products and products licensed from third parties including e-commerce sales made via the Company’s Web sites, from licensing agreements with OEMs and ISVs, and from the resale of its products through various resellers. Reseller revenue is recognized if collection is probable, upon notification from the reseller that it has sold the product or if for a physical product, upon delivery of the software. E-commerce sales include revenue from the licensing of Bitstream fonts and font technology, the licensing of the ThunderHawk browser, the licensing of fonts and font technology developed by third parties and from fees received from referring customers to other sites for which we have referral agreements. Referral revenue is recognized at the net amount received by Bitstream and was $4 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and $8 and $7 for the six

months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There are minimal costs associated with the referral revenue, which primarily represent the time to load copies of the fonts provided by each participating foundry for addition to the MyFonts.com database. The Company expenses those costs as incurred.

 

The increases in cost of license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 were due to increased royalty, shipping, and credit card processing expenses in connection with the Company’s increased sales in all product lines. These included increases in e-commerce related costs of $205 and $513 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cost of services revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to an increases in customer consulting resources for the publishing product line of $72 and $135, respectively. In addition, cost of service revenue increased $67 to $235 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $168 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to an increase in internal resource costs for custom font development. Cost of revenue for the Company includes royalties and fees paid to third parties for the development or license of rights to technology and/or unique typeface designs, costs incurred in the fulfillment of custom orders, costs incurred in providing customer support, maintenance, and training, and costs associated with the duplication, packaging and shipping of product.

Marketing and selling (“M&S”) expense consist primarily of salaries and benefits, commissions, travel expenses and facilities costs related to sales and marketing personnel, as well as marketing program-related costs including trade shows and advertising. The increase in M&S expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily the result of increased headcount and higher sales commissions due to increased sales of $31 and a $59 increase in marketing activity including a large trade show during the second quarter of 2005 which had occurred during the first quarter in 2004. These increases also resulted in the increase in M&S expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. Due to the increases in M&S headcount and marketing program activities the Company’s management expects M&S expense to remain higher throughout 2005 as compared to 2004.

PART 1, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expense consist primarily of salary and benefit costs, contracted third-party development costs, and facility costs related to software developers and management. The increase in R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily the result of an increase in engineering salary and benefit related expenses partially offset by a $52 decrease in the internal resources allocated to R&D for internal R&D projects. This increase and partial offset during the second quarter also resulted in the increase in R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company’s management expects future R&D expenditures to approximate their current level until the fourth quarter when the Company plans to add additional R&D resources.

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs including travel and facility expenses for finance, human resource, legal and executive personnel, legal and accounting professional services, provision for bad debts and director and officer insurance. G&A expenses increased primarily due to increases in legal costs to defend against certain trademark infringement lawsuits of $225 to $310 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $85 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and $99 to $319 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $220 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. In addition, G&A expenses increased $60 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to a $60 bad debt write-off expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The Company’s management expects G&A expense as a percent of revenue to approximate the percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2005 for the year but cannot predict the timing or level of the legal costs which may be incurred during the remainder of the year if Monotype Imaging appeals the judgment that was issued in the Company’s favor in July of 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (in thousands, except share amounts)

 

The Company has funded its operations primarily through the public sale of equity securities, cash flows from operations, cash received from the sale of the Company’s MediaBank and InterSep OPI product lines to Inso Providence Corporation in August of 1998, and cash received from the sale of the Company’s investment in DiamondSoft to Extensis in July of 2003. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net working capital of $3,273 as compared to $3,331 at December 31, 2004.

 

The Company used cash of approximately $56 and $288 to fund its operations during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Not including changes in operating assets and liabilities, the Company’s operating results generated $64 in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and used $462 in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in the use of $120 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to a $785 increase in accounts receivable, which was partially offset by a $417 increase in net accounts payable and accrued expenses. Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a cash savings of $174 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to the collection of accounts receivable and the resulting decrease in the receivable balance during the six month period then ended. The Company’s investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 used cash to acquire additional property and equipment and intangible assets of $160 and $74, respectively. The Company’s investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 also included a gain related to the Company’s sale of its investment in DiamondSoft of $91. The Company’s financing activities provided cash of $41 and $71 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from the exercise of stock options.

 

The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalent balances will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not require additional financing in the future. If the Company were required to obtain additional financing in the future, there can be no assurance that sources of capital will be available on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. From time to time, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of products, businesses and technologies that may complement or expand the Company’s business. Any such transactions consummated may use a portion of the Company’s working capital or require the Company to issue additional equity securities or incur debt.

 

The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities. In August 2003, the Company entered into a six-year lease agreement and moved its corporate offices. The new lease agreement commenced on September 1, 2003 and obligated the Company to make minimum lease payments plus its pro-rata share of future real estate tax increases and certain operating expense increases above the base year. This lease agreement also required the Company to obtain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $250, which resulted

in $250 in cash being classified as restricted on the Company’s Balance Sheet. The amount will be reduced to $200 on the second anniversary and further to $150 on the fourth anniversary of the lease.

 

The Company has entered into certain agreements to pay royalties based on the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is primarily based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense is recorded as cost of license revenue on our consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims based on these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act contains provisions that might affect Bitstream’s future effective tax rate. The Company has begun its evaluation of the effects of the Act, but do not expect to be able to complete this evaluation until after the U.S. Treasury Department or Internal Revenue Service provides additional clarifying language on key elements of the Act. The Internal Revenue Service has stated publicly that it expects to release this guidance by the end of the calendar year. The Company expects to be in a position to complete its evaluation, and to record any resulting income taxes by the end of this fiscal year. While the Company is currently uncertain as to the impact of the Act on our annual tax rate, it does not anticipate the impact, if any, to be material.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) will require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) offers alternative methods for determining the fair value. In April 2005, the SEC issued a new rule that allows companies to implement Statement No. 123(R) at the beginning of the next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Company will implement SFAS 123(R) in the reporting period starting January 1, 2006. See “Stock-Based Compensation” above for the pro forma net income and net income per share amounts, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, as if the Company had used a fair-value-based method similar to the methods required under SFAS 123R to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. Although the Company has not yet determined whether the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, it is evaluating the requirements under SFAS 123R and expects the adoption to have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated statements of income and net income per share.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company did not participate in any derivative financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 107. All of the Company’s investments are short-term money market accounts and bank deposits that are carried on the Company’s books at fair market value. Accordingly, the Company has no quantitative information concerning the market risk of participating in such investments.

Primary Market Risk Exposures

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company’s investment portfolio of cash equivalent and short-term investments is subject to interest rate fluctuations, but the Company believes this risk is immaterial due to the short-term nature of these investments. The Company’s exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations has been and is expected to continue to be modest due to the fact that the operations of its international subsidiary are almost exclusively conducted in their respective local currencies. The Company’s international subsidiary is currently inactive and the impact of currency exchange rate movements on inter-company transactions was immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2005. International subsidiary operations, if resumed, will be translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated for reporting purposes. Currently, the Company does not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005, each of Anna Chagnon, Chief Executive Officer, and James Dore, Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were sufficiently effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations.

 

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all error and 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On June 24, 2003, Monotype Imaging Inc. (formerly Agfa Monotype Corporation) and International Typeface Corporation filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division claiming that the Company, through its TrueDoc software, infringes trademarks and copyrights and violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Judge Amy J. St. Eve of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division ruled in favor of Bitstream on all counts. In her opinion issued on July 12, 2005, the Court found that Bitstream was not liable under any claims of contributory infringement, contributory trademark infringement, or infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Previously, on April 21, 2005, the Court held that Bitstream was not liable under claims for direct copyright or trademark infringement or for vicariously infringing Monotype Imaging, Inc.’s and International Typeface Corporation’s copyrights. As a result of these two decisions, the Court entered judgment for Bitstream Inc. The Company has been notified that Monotype Imaging has filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court.

 

From time to time, in addition to the infringement case identified above, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of June 30, 2005, no liability has been recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that the Company’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of these contingencies.
