PART I
 
ITEM 1.     BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
We are a leading provider of innovative integration solutions. We develop and deliver software products and services that are designed to allow corporations to more easily enable and manage complex interactions between their computer systems internally, as well as externally with their business partners, suppliers and customers. Our flagship product, the BusinessWare® integration server, is a flexible and easily configurable software platform that is designed to enable incompatible computer systems to exchange information automatically and in real time, without human intervention, over corporate networks and the Internet. This eliminates manual entry of information into multiple systems, and eliminates the need to manually exchange information with customers, suppliers and business partners.
 
In addition to providing the integration server, we offer integration solutions, known as collaborative applications. These applications are pre-built configurable solutions for solving common recurring integration problems by managing collaborative processes within and across enterprises. The Vitria Collaborative Applications, or VCA, family of products is built on and leverages our integration server, BusinessWare, and provides out-of-the-box solutions for specific integration problems. For example, global straight through processing, or GSTP, is a problem that requires companies in the financial services industry to work together to reduce the time and cost of security trading. To enable this activity, complex processes that manage the flow of information between investment managers, broker/dealers and custodian banks to support securities trading, allocation and settlement must be automated. The VCA for GSTP includes these pre-defined business processes in an out-of-the-box solution and offers financial services companies the ability to identify and eliminate bottlenecks and errors, reduce cycle times, track order status and better manage risk.
 
The BusinessWare integration server and our family of collaborative applications are currently licensed by more than 500 companies worldwide in diverse industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, financial services and insurance. We sell our products through a direct sales force and through alliances with leading software vendors and systems integrators.
 
Vitria’s Solution
 
BusinessWare enables companies to automate business processes across the extended enterprise and integrates the underlying information technology, or IT, systems that must work together to support these processes.
 
BusinessWare combines in a single solution the five elements that we believe are essential for ebusiness infrastructure software:
 
 
(1)
 
Business Process Management, or BPM:  BPM provides control and coordination of business processes spanning a wide combination of systems, people and corporate boundaries. It uses graphical process

3


 
models to seamlessly define, automate and manage transactions and the exchange of information between internal business applications, people and external trading partners.
 
 
(2)
 
Business-to-Business Integration, or B2Bi:  B2Bi enables the secure and reliable completion of transactions and the exchange of business information between customers and partners over the Internet to support collaborative processes. B2Bi helps companies manage their value chain interactions from end to end.
 
 
(3)
 
Enterprise Application Integration, or EAI:  EAI enables the secure and reliable movement of information in and out of internal business applications. By enabling internal applications to communicate with each other, EAI helps unify and improve extended enterprise processes.
 
 
(4)
 
Business Process Intelligence, or BPI:  BPI provides real-time monitoring and analysis of running business processes thereby enabling optimization of operational efficiency. Our two key BPI components—Process Analyzer and Business Cockpit—continuously gather working business process data, analyze and visualize it in real time, and enable process owners to proactively identify and respond to integration problems or opportunities as they occur.
 
 
(5)
 
Business Vocabulary Management, or BVM:  BVM is our vocabulary-based approach to transformation that, we believe, substantially reduces the time and complexity of translating between different document formats. BVM includes a comprehensive set of extended markup language, or XML, -based, industry-specific vocabularies (words and meanings) and documents required to conduct business over the Internet. To address the specific needs of each industry, BVM provides packaged vocabularies for various industries based on the specific business terms utilized within those industries.
 
Once customers use BusinessWare to define their business process models and integrate the underlying IT systems, BusinessWare automatically controls the flow of information across the IT systems as specified by the process models. BusinessWare continuously analyzes the customer’s business processes and can automatically change the processes in response to this analysis. This capability allows companies to transform the information flowing through their IT systems into “actionable intelligence” that enables business managers to optimize their business operations.
 
BusinessWare allows customers to solve their ebusiness problems using graphical models rather than developing custom programs. Rather than writing software programs, business managers can create visual diagrams of business processes, called “process models,” using a point-and-click user interface. BusinessWare then translates these process models into software programs that automate the flow of information across a company’s underlying IT systems. Our graphical process models are “directly executable,” which means that they can be deployed immediately, without programming by IT personnel.
 
We believe that BusinessWare provides the following benefits to customers:
 
Easy for Business Managers to Use.    The combination of our graphical process modeling and automation functionality with our robust application integration foundation allows customers to focus on the business objectives of ebusiness rather than the mechanics of solution implementation.
 
Reduces Time to Market.    We enable customers to reduce their time to market by allowing them to graphically define and automate new business processes to support the delivery of new products and services.
 
Leverages IT Investment.    We help companies preserve and leverage the substantial IT investment they have made by allowing them to assemble ebusiness solutions using their existing IT systems.
 
Allows Rapid Response to Change.    We enable customers to graphically model their existing business processes, and then continuously refine and optimize them as business conditions change over time. To change a business process, managers simply change the associated graphical model.

Provides a Comprehensive Solution.    BusinessWare combines the five elements of an ebusiness infrastructure software product in a single comprehensive solution. This eliminates the need for our customers to purchase and integrate separate solution components from multiple vendors.
 
Scales to Support High Transaction Volumes and Distributed Deployment.    Our product features an architecture that uses the same distributed processing principles as those used on the Web. Unlike alternative “hub-and-spoke” architectures that are optimized for single site deployment, our “federated” architecture allows customers to incrementally add servers to support increasing loads, without adding administrative complexity.
 
Enables Mission-Critical Deployments.    The importance of our customers’ ebusiness initiatives demands that our software satisfies high standards for performance, security and reliability. BusinessWare is designed for superior performance to accommodate the high transaction volumes enabled by the Internet. In addition, our solution ensures secure communication of business information across the extended enterprise using rigorous authentication and data encryption technologies. BusinessWare provides high availability through multiple server redundancy and automatic failover to backup systems.
 
Strategy
 
Our objective is to become the leading provider of infrastructure software products for real-time ebusiness. Key elements of our strategy to achieve this objective include:
 
Develop Integration Applications.    We are developing packaged collaborative applications built on BusinessWare that capture and automate business processes and queries. These applications address common integration problems such as the sharing of data between commonly used applications within an enterprise and with partners, suppliers and customers. We intend to leverage the industry expertise of our system integrator partners and our customers to rapidly build these market-focused solutions. We believe customers and partners will derive significant time-to-market benefits and reduce their implementation and maintenance costs by deploying these out-of-the-box business solutions.
 
Expand Product and Technology Leadership.    We have established an infrastructure software product that combines business process management, B2B integration, enterprise application integration, and real-time analysis in a single unified environment. We intend to continue to introduce innovative products that enable our customers to rapidly deploy complex business solutions and extend their enterprise easily and cost-effectively. As an example, in April 2001, we acquired XMLSolutions Corporation, a provider of electronic data interchange, or EDI, and extended markup language, or XML, transformation technology. We also intend to extend our technological leadership by continuing to invest significantly in research and development. We have assembled a team of prominent developers and engineers with expertise in Internet communication protocols, messaging technologies, and enterprise software and have established a corporate culture that fosters continuous product innovation. In addition, by promoting and embracing emerging Internet standards, we intend to facilitate the broad acceptance of our products.
 
Target Fast-Growing Vertical Markets.    To date, we have targeted the telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, insurance and energy industries. These markets are characterized by high rates of growth, dynamic business processes and rapid adoption of ebusiness solutions. We intend to expand our position in these markets and leverage this position to target other markets.
 
Extend Relationships with Customers.    The strategic importance of BusinessWare to our customers allows us to develop relationships with their senior decision makers. This visibility to senior management and a focused implementation approach facilitate the rapid adoption and deployment of BusinessWare throughout the organization. We intend to leverage these relationships as we introduce new products and services. Additionally, we are introduced to opportunities with our customers’ business partners because BusinessWare is used by companies to automate and manage their interactions across their extended enterprise.

5


 
Leverage and Expand Strategic Alliances.    Alliances continue to be pivotal to Vitria’s strategy and long-term success. We intend to leverage our relationships with leading system integrators, including Accenture, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, KPMG Consulting, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, to extend our reach and provide comprehensive solutions to our customers. System integrators help our customers install and deploy our products. We believe these firms’ relationships with the most senior levels of management facilitate access to strategic projects that often generate large commitments from our customers and can reduce the length of our sales cycles. In addition, we believe the software deployment expertise and industry knowledge of system integrators shortens the implementation time of our products and helps us to secure add-on business.
 
Products
 
BusinessWare.    BusinessWare is an ebusiness infrastructure software product designed to provide customers with a comprehensive infrastructure for rapidly capitalizing on the ebusiness opportunity.
 
BusinessWare Modeler.    The Modeler is BusinessWare’s process modeling component. Business managers use the Modeler to create graphical models of their business processes using a point-and-click interface. These process models provide an intuitive visual representation of interdependent processing steps. Users can add business rules to each processing step to provide additional modeling flexibility. Once specified and saved in the BusinessWare Repository, process models can be directly executed by the BusinessWare Automator. The Modeler supports advanced modeling constructs that allow users to define and manage complex, real-world business processes. The Modeler supports Unified Modeling Language, the industry standard for business process modeling and automation.
 
BusinessWare Server.    The BusinessWare Server provides the host environment for five functional components: Automator, Cockpit, Communicator, Connector and Transformer. The BusinessWare Server is designed to provide a set of common services that are shared by each of these components:
 
 
 
Security: provides rigorous support for authentication, data encryption and access control.
 
 
 
Transaction management: ensures the integrity of business processes and related updates to underlying IT systems.
 
 
 
Persistence: provides automatic recovery in the event of system or network failures.
 
 
 
Repository: stores and manages all BusinessWare metadata, such as process models.
 
BusinessWare Automator.    Automator is BusinessWare’s process automation component. It executes the business process models defined by users in the Modeler and stored in the BusinessWare Repository. Automator automates business processes by coordinating the flow of information among the underlying IT systems.
 
Business Cockpit.    Business Cockpit allows customers to define, analyze and optimize business processes in real-time. Business Cockpit provides business managers rapid access to key statistics, such as the number of on-time shipments or the current best-selling products by customer, via real-time visualizations and drilldowns based on “live” data and processes. Business Cockpit also helps companies rapidly identify process bottlenecks, thus providing them with information to support continuous process improvement efforts.
 
BusinessWare Communicator.    Communicator provides the communications backbone that ties together all of the BusinessWare components and the IT systems that they integrate. Communicator provides fast and secure information delivery and allows the customer to choose between multiple quality of service options such as guaranteed delivery or best effort. Communicator supports Internet standards, including HTTP and XML. Communicator is designed to interoperate with third-party messaging products.
 
BusinessWare Connector.    Connectors provide and enable heterogeneous IT systems to exchange information and translate business information to Internet standards, such as XML. We provide off-the-shelf

6


connectors for a number of popular packaged applications, messaging systems and databases. We also provide a toolkit that enables customers to rapidly develop connectors for custom or legacy systems.
 
BusinessWare Transformer.    Transformers map data structures from one IT system to another. In addition to our own transformation components, customers have the option to augment their BusinessWare solution with transformation products from third parties.
 
BusinessWare Administrator.    Administrator is BusinessWare’s graphical systems management and monitoring component. Administrator allows systems administrators to perform local and remote administration from any BusinessWare server.
 
Vitria Collaborative Applications, or VCAs.    VCAs are integration solutions that solve common integration problems. In addition to the BusinessWare integration platform, collaborative applications include custom business process models and custom RTA queries and reports. We currently offer the following VCAs:
 
VCA for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, which is designed to assist healthcare organizations in achieving compliance with the federal mandate.
 
VCA for Global Straight Through Processing, or GSTP, which is designed to assist financial services organizations in working together to reduce the time and cost of trading securities.
 
VCA for Common Information Models, or CIM, which is designed to simplify integration between popular transactional applications sold by SAP, PeopleSoft and Oracle.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We license our products and sell services primarily through our direct sales organization, complemented by the selling and support efforts of our system integrators and other strategic partners. As of December 31, 2001, our sales force consisted of sales professionals and system engineers located in 25 domestic locations, three locations in Canada, seven locations in Europe, four locations in Asia, one in Australia and one in South America. System engineers who provide pre-sales support to potential customers on product information and deployment capabilities complement our direct sales professionals.
 
Our sales process requires that we work closely with targeted customers to identify short-term technical needs and long-term goals. Our sales team, which includes both sales and technical professionals, then works with the customer to develop a proposal to address these needs. In many cases, we collaborate with our customers’ senior management team, including the chief executive officer, chief information officer and chief financial officer, to develop business cases for mission-critical applications. The level of customer analysis and financial commitment required for many of our product implementations has caused our sales cycle to range from two to nine months.
 
We focus our marketing efforts on educating potential customers, generating new sales opportunities, and creating awareness of our product and its applications. We conduct a variety of marketing programs to educate our target market, including seminars, trade shows, direct mail campaigns, press relations, and industry analyst programs.
 
Strategic Relationships
 
To enhance the productivity of our sales and service organizations and to support our customers’ deployment of our products, we have established relationships with system integrators, complementary technology vendors and independent software vendors, or ISVs. We have added new leadership to the alliances group to focus on strengthening and expanding these relationships to drive repeatable solutions into the market globally.

7


 
System Integrators.    We have increased the focus on our relationship with leading system integrators including Accenture, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, KPMG Consulting, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Many of our system integrators have deep relationships across a broad range of enterprise customers and our relationships with these system integrators often enable us to reach key decision makers within these enterprises more quickly, thus reducing sales cycles. In addition, by leveraging our partners’ domain expertise, we believe we can more effectively and rapidly build Vitria Collaborative Applications for vertical markets. Finally, working with system integrators enables us to leverage our service organization and shorten solution implementation time.
 
Complementary Technology Vendors.    We also work with leading application software, database and hardware vendors to ensure compatibility of BusinessWare with their software and hardware. We have relationships with leading companies including BEA, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Nortel, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Portal Software, Siebel Systems, and Sun Microsystems.
 
Service and Support
 
The primary function of our professional services organization is to facilitate the implementation of our product. We provide services directly to our customers and to system integrators for BusinessWare project planning, implementation and performance. Our professional services organization works closely with system integrators to train their personnel in the design and implementation of our product.
 
Customer support is available by telephone and over the Internet seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Our education services group delivers education and product training to our customers and strategic partners, concerning the design of business solutions using BusinessWare, as well as the technical aspects of deployment, use and maintenance.
 
Research and Development
 
As of December 31, 2001, our engineering department consisted of the following groups:
 
Product Development.    Our product development teams are organized around components of BusinessWare. Each component is developed independently in order to speed design and testing. Development of the customer interface is centralized, with the goal of creating a consistent and unified product look and feel.
 
Advanced Research.    Our advanced research group works independently from our product development teams to research and develop advanced architectures and technologies. This group also closely monitors developments in industry standards related to ebusiness, Internet technologies, operating systems, networks and software applications.
 
Quality Assurance and Platform Support.    This group designs and manages a process designed to identify and prevent software defects throughout the development cycle.
 
Documentation.    This group is responsible for creating and maintaining customer and system integrator documentation for our products.
 
Solutions.    Our solutions group is responsible for developing the collaborative applications as well as the tools and utilities for the development in support of our overall VCA efforts.
 
Research and development expenses were $41.0 million in 2001, $29.4 million in 2000 and $10.7 million in 1999.
 
Competition
 
The market for our product is extremely competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological change. The intensity of competition is expected to increase in the future. We believe that ebusiness infrastructure

8


software must address five requirements: (1) business process management, (2) B2B integration, (3) enterprise application integration, (4) business process intelligence, and (5) business vocabulary management. We believe BusinessWare’s ability to address all five requirements is an important differentiating factor. While we offer a comprehensive suite of application integration solutions, we compete with various providers of application integration products including IBM, IONA, Mercator Software, Peregrine Systems, Sybase, SeeBeyond Technology, Tibco Software, and webMethods. We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies. In addition, we may face pricing pressures from our current competitors and new market entrants in the future. Finally, “in-house” information technology departments of potential customers have developed or may develop systems that substitute for some or all of the functionality of our BusinessWare products. We expect that internally developed application integration and process automation efforts will continue to be a significant source of competition for the foreseeable future. We may in the future also encounter competition from major enterprise software developers including Microsoft, Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP AG.
 
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include:
 
 
 
the breadth and depth of solutions;
 
 
 
product quality and performance;
 
 
 
ease and speed of implementation;
 
 
 
ability of products to operate with multiple software applications;
 
 
 
ability to implement solutions;
 
 
 
customer service;
 
 
 
relationship with system integrators;
 
 
 
establishment of a significant base of reference customers;
 
 
 
strength of core technology; and
 
 
 
product price.
 
Although we believe that our solutions compete favorably with respect to these factors, our market is relatively new and is evolving rapidly. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.
 
Intellectual Property and Other Property Rights
 
Our success is dependent upon our ability to develop and protect our proprietary technology and intellectual proprietary rights. We rely primarily on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures, trade secrets, and patent, copyright and trademark laws to accomplish these goals.
 
We license BusinessWare pursuant to non-exclusive license agreements which impose restrictions on customers’ ability to utilize the software. In addition, we seek to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets, including but not limited to, requiring employees, customers and others with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and restricting access to our source code. We also seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret, patent and copyright laws.
 
We have a patent issued and several U.S. patent applications pending. Our issued patent expires December 7, 2018. It is possible that the patent we received, those that we applied for, if issued, or our potential future patents may be successfully challenged or that no patents will be issued from our patent applications. It is also possible that we may not develop proprietary products or technologies that are patentable, that any patent issued to us may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or that the patents of others will seriously harm our ability to do business.

9


 
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws afford only limited protection. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our product or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. Use by others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our product is difficult and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights.
 
It is also possible that third parties will claim that we have infringed on their current or future products. We expect that ebusiness developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products in different industry segments overlap. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, prevent product shipment, cause delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. In the event an infringement claim against us was successful and we could not obtain a license on acceptable terms or license a substitute technology or redesign to avoid infringement, our business would be harmed.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2001, we had a total of 859 employees. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
 
Financial Information by Business Segment and Geographic Data
 
Vitria operates in one segment, business-to-business electronic commerce solutions. We recognized approximately 33% of our revenue from customers located outside the United States in 2001 compared to approximately 13% in 2000. No one region or country other than the U.S. accounted for 10% or more of revenues in 2001. The information included in Note 1 (under the heading “Segment information”) and Note 10 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, is incorporated herein by reference from Item 8 of Part II hereof.

ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In November 2001, Vitria and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and captioned Kideys, et al., v. Vitria Technology, Inc., et al., Case No. 01-CV-10092. The plaintiffs allege that Vitria, certain of our officers and directors and the underwriters of our initial public offering, or IPO, violated the federal securities laws because Vitria’s IPO registration statement and prospectus contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed in the same court beginning in January 2001 against numerous public companies that first sold their common stock publicly since the mid-1990s.

11


 
On August 8, 2001, all of these IPO-related lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial purposes before United States Judge Shira Scheindlin of the Southern District of New York. Judge Scheindlin held an initial case management conference on September 7, 2001, at which time she ordered, among other things, that the time for all defendants to respond to any complaint be postponed until further order of the Court. Thus, neither Vitria nor any of our officers or directors has been required to answer the complaint, and no discovery has been served on Vitria.
 
At a further status conference on March 11, 2002, Judge Scheindlin stated that she would appoint lead plaintiffs counsel in these IPO-related lawsuits in March 2002 and would require the appointed lead plaintiffs counsel to file amended, consolidated complaints in the these IPO-related lawsuits by April 17, 2002. Judge Scheindlin further stated that she did not expect the defendants to file motions to dismiss the amended, consolidated complaints until at least mid-June 2002. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously.
 
Vitria is currently a party to various other legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, none of which is expected to harm Vitria’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read with “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in “Business Risks” below as well as those discussed elsewhere.
 
Overview
 
Vitria was incorporated in October 1994. We initially generated revenues exclusively through consulting contracts with third parties and government grants. In June 1997, we commercially released our first product and in September 1999, we had an initial public offering of common stock. We have incurred significant losses since inception, and as of December 31, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of $79.2 million.
 
We derive revenues primarily from two sources: licenses, and services and other. Since the introduction of BusinessWare in 1997, licenses have become our primary source of revenue. Our products are typically licensed directly to customers for a perpetual term, with pricing based on the number of copies licensed, or systems or applications managed. We record license revenues when a license agreement has been signed by both parties, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable, and delivery of our product has occurred. For electronic transmissions, we consider our product to have been delivered when the access code to download the software from the Internet has been provided to the customer.
 
Service and other revenues include product maintenance, consulting, training and government grants. Customers who license BusinessWare normally purchase maintenance contracts. These contracts provide unspecified software upgrades and technical support over a specified term, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance contracts are usually paid in advance, and revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. A majority of our customers use third-party system integrators to implement our products. Customers typically purchase additional consulting services from us to support their implementation activities. These consulting services are generally sold on a time and materials basis and recognized as the services are performed. We also offer training services which are sold on a per student or per class basis and recognized as the classes are attended.
 
We market our products through our direct sales force and augment our marketing efforts through relationships with system integrators and technology vendors. Our revenues to date have been derived primarily from accounts in the United States. In 1999, we opened an office in the United Kingdom and throughout 2000 we opened offices in Japan, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Italy, and during the past year in Switzerland, Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Spain, Sweden and Brazil.

15


 
During 2001, we recognized approximately 33% of our revenues from customers outside the United States, an increase of 20% from 13% of revenues recognized from customers outside of the United States in 2000. In 2002, we believe international revenues will remain at approximately the same percentage of total revenues as in 2001. To date, we have not experienced significant seasonality of revenue. We expect that future results may be affected by the fiscal or quarterly budget cycles of our customers.
 
Sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 31% of total revenues in 2001, 25% of total revenues in 2000 and 49% of total revenues in 1999. In 1999, revenues from Sprint accounted for 11% of total revenues. In 2000 and 2001, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. As of December 31, 2001, AT&T Corporation and Bell Canada accounted for 15% and 13%, respectively, of our accounts receivable balance. While our dependence on any single customer has been declining over the past three years, we expect that revenues from a limited number of customers will continue to account for a large percentage of total revenues in future quarters. Therefore, the loss or delay of individual orders could have a significant impact on revenues. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a variety of factors, including the reliability, security, scalability and the overall cost-effectiveness of our products.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates, on an on-going basis, including those related to allowances for bad debts, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We derive revenues from software licenses to end users of BusinessWare and other products and related services, which include maintenance and support, consulting and training services. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2 as amended, we record revenue from software licenses when a license agreement is signed by both parties, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable and delivery of the product has occurred. For electronic delivery, the product is considered to have been delivered when the access code to download the software from the Internet has been provided to the customer. If an element of the agreement has not been delivered, revenue for the element is deferred based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. If vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist, all revenue is deferred until sufficient objective evidence exists or all elements have been delivered. We treat all arrangements with payment terms longer than normal as not fixed or determinable. Our normal payment terms currently range from “net 30 days” to “net 90 days” for domestic and international customers. Revenue is deferred for those agreements which exceed normal payment terms. If the fee due from the customer is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. Our assessment of collectibility is particularly critical in determining whether revenue should be recognized in the current market environment. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Revenue on arrangements with customers who are not the ultimate users (primarily systems integrators) is not recognized until evidence of sell through arrangement to an end user has been received.            

16


 
Marketing assistance fees are commissions which are paid to third party partners who have contributed to the successful completion of a license transaction in accordance with a written agreement and specific project authorization executed with Vitria. Such fees are recorded as a reduction of the related license revenue.
 
Service and other revenues include product maintenance, consulting, training and government grants. Revenues from maintenance and support are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenues from consulting and training are deferred and recognized when the services are performed and collectibility is deemed probable. Customers who license BusinessWare normally purchase maintenance contracts. These contracts provide unspecified software upgrades and technical support over a specified term, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance contracts are usually paid in advance, and revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. A majority of our customers use third-party system integrators to implement our products. Customers typically purchase additional consulting services from us to support their implementation activities. These consulting services are generally sold on a time and materials basis and recognized as the services are performed. We also offer training services which are sold on a per student or per class basis and recognized as the classes are attended.
 
A portion of our revenues has been derived from government grants. Government grant revenues are recognized as research is performed and allowable costs are incurred. Revenues from government grants were $128,000 and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We recognized no government grant revenue in the year ended December 31, 2001. We have deferred government grant revenue of $1.1 million which we may need to pay back to the government. Future revenue recognition for this deferred government grant revenue is dependent upon confirmation by the government of the results of several audits. We have not yet received the final acceptance from the government based upon these audits, which were completed in 2001. Based upon a review of the audit findings, we do not expect to recognize material future government grant revenues.
 
Payments received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue. When the software license arrangement requires us to provide consulting services for significant production, customization or modification of the software, or when the customer considers these services essential to the functionality of the software product, both the product license revenue and consulting services revenue are recognized in accordance with the provision of Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.” We recognize revenue from these arrangements using the percentage of completion method based on cost inputs and, therefore, both product license and consulting services revenue are recognized as work progresses.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to deliver required payments to us. These allowances are established through analysis of the credit worthiness of each customer, which is based on credit reports from third parties, analysis of published or publicly available financial information and customer specific experience including payment practices and history. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce materially different allowance balances. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
 
Valuation of Equity Investments
 
We record an investment impairment charge when we believe an investment in corporate debt securities or in equity securities of private companies has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of the underlying companies could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

17


Accounting for Income Taxes
 
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets of the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
 
Quarterly Results of Operations
 
The following tables set forth statement of operations data for each of the eight quarters ended December 31, 2001, as well as the percentage of our total revenues represented by each item. This information has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements contained in this annual report and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of this information. You should read this information in conjunction with our annual audited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. Our quarterly operating results are expected to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and you should not draw any conclusions about our future results from the results of operations for any quarter.

Revenues
 
License.    License revenues increased from $21.8 million in 1999 to $102.3 million in 2000. License revenues decreased from $102.3 million in 2000 to $77.5 million in 2001. The increase in 2000 was the result of the growth in the number of licenses to new customers and to a higher average transaction size. In 2000, our average transaction size had increased due to larger deployments by our customers. The decrease in 2001 was due to fewer total orders caused by the ongoing slowdown in the telecommunications industry, combined with a general slowdown in IT spending in other vertical markets. During fiscal year 2002, we expect license revenues to remain approximately level with or slightly up from those in 2001.
 
Service and other.    Service and other revenues increased from $9.8 million in 1999, and to $32.4 million in 2000 and to $57.5 million in 2001. This substantial increase in service revenues was due to the growth of maintenance, support and consulting revenues associated with license agreements signed in earlier periods. These service revenues continued to increase each quarter in 1999 and 2000 as we supported a number of new deployments of our products but the quarterly revenue remained essentially flat in 2001 due to completion of previous projects and a relative reduction of new licenses in 2001. Service and other revenues include government grant contract revenues, which ended in April 2000. We have deferred government grant revenue of $1.1 million which we may need to pay back to the government. Future revenue recognition for this deferred government grant revenue is dependent upon confirmation by the government of the results of several audits. We have not yet received the final acceptance from the government based upon these audits, which were completed in 2001. Based upon our review of the audit findings, we do not expect to recognize material future government grant revenues. During fiscal 2002, we expect service and other revenues to remain approximately level with or slightly up from those in 2001.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
License.    Cost of license revenues increased from $407,000 in 1999, to $935,000 in 2000 and to $1.6 million in 2001. Cost of license revenues consists of royalty payments to third parties for technology incorporated into our product. We began incurring royalty payment obligations in the first quarter of 1999 due to the licensing to our customers of a product that incorporated third-party technology. The increase of $528,000 from 1999 to 2000 and the increase of $672,000 from 2000 to 2001 were due to an increase in sales of our license products which incorporate third-party technology. Measured as a percentage of license sales, the cost of royalties for third-party products has remained in the range of 1% to 2% over the past three years. Cost of license revenues varies as it is dependent upon the third-party technology incorporated into our products and the buying patterns of our customers. We expect the cost of license revenues to continue to increase. However, as a percentage of license revenues, we do not expect any significant variation in the cost of license revenues from that of the past three years.
 
Service and other.    Cost of service and other revenues consists of salaries, facility costs, travel expenses and payments to third-party consultants incurred in providing customer support, training and implementation services. Cost of service and other revenues also includes costs associated with government grants which are exactly equal to the grant revenues recognized. Cost of service and other revenues was $7.3 million in 1999, $22.1 million in 2000 and $29.8 million in 2001. From 1999 to 2000, cost of service and other revenues increased $14.7 million due primarily to the hiring of service personnel and the increased use of outside consultants, as well as higher travel costs related to increasing number of implementations. From 2000 to 2001, cost of service and other revenues increased by $7.7 million. This increase resulted from hiring additional service personnel, including the addition of employees that resulted from the acquisition of XMLSolutions in 2001, as well as increased facility costs associated with additional personnel, partially offset by a decrease in the use of outside consultants, a decrease in external recruiting expenditures and a decrease in travel expenses. As a percentage of service and other revenues, these costs represented 75% in 1999, 68% in 2000 and 52% in 2001. These decreases were mainly due to increases in service and other revenues, which increased at a faster rate than the costs of services and other revenues. At anticipated revenue levels, we expect that cost of service and other expenses will decline slightly as a percentage of revenues in 2002.

Operating Expenses
 
Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries, commissions, field office expenses, travel, entertainment and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $20.0 million in 1999, to $78.4 million in 2000 and to $96.5 million in 2001. The increase of $58.4 million from 1999 to 2000 resulted from hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, higher commission expense driven by the growth in revenues and higher advertising expenses when we launched our first advertising campaign in 2000. Sales and marketing expenses increased $18.2 million from 2000 to 2001. This increase was primarily the result of increases in salary costs from hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, increased facilities costs as we expanded our domestic and international field offices, and higher travel expenses associated with our expanded sales force, offset by a decrease in advertising expenses, a decrease in commission expense and a decrease in external recruiting expenditures. In 2002, we expect that sales and marketing expenses will be flat or slightly less than the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expense decreased from 63% in 1999 to 58% in 2000. The decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to higher revenues. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses increased from 58% to 72% in 2001. The increase as a percentage of revenues was due to the fact that our sales and marketing structure has been established to support a higher revenue base than we actually experienced in fiscal year 2001.
 
Research and Development.    Research and development expenses include costs associated with the development of new products, enhancements to existing products, and quality assurance activities. These costs consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits, and the cost of consulting resources that supplement the internal development team. Costs of developing software for external use that may have been eligible for capitalization have not been material and we have expensed all of these costs as incurred. Research and development expenses increased from $10.7 million in 1999, to $29.4 million in 2000 and to $41.0 million in 2001. The $18.7 million increase from 1999 to 2000 was primarily the result of higher salary expenses related to additional research and development personnel, higher facilities costs associated with the increase in personnel, and increased usage of third-party consultants to assist with research and development programs. The $11.5 million increase from 2000 to 2001 was primarily the result of higher salary expenses related to additional personnel, including the addition of XMLSolutions employees, and higher facilities costs associated with the increase in personnel, offset by a decrease in consulting expense and external recruiting expenditures. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expense was 34%, 22% and 30% for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. The decrease from fiscal year 1999 to fiscal year 2000 was primarily due to an increase in revenues. The increase from 2000 to 2001 was mainly caused by an increase in expenses detailed above while revenues remained at the same level as 2000. In 2002, we anticipate that we will continue to devote substantial resources to research and development but these expenses will be flat or slightly less than the prior year.
 
General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist of salaries for administrative, executive and finance personnel, information systems costs, outside professional service fees and our provision for doubtful accounts. These expenses increased from $4.0 million in 1999 to $14.2 million in 2000 and to $20.2 million in 2001. The $10.2 million increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributable to increases in personnel expenses, recruiting fees associated with our headcount growth, outside professional service fees and the provisions for doubtful accounts in response to the broadening of our customer base and increasing accounts receivable balances. The $5.9 million increase from 2000 to 2001 was primarily attributable to increases in personnel expenses, outside professional services to support our expanding operations and a $2.0 million loss on disposal of a software asset which contributed to the increase in expenses in the fourth quarter of 2001. This increase in 2001 was partially offset by a decrease from the prior year in the provision for doubtful accounts. In 2000, we recorded $2.9 million for our provision for doubtful accounts. In 2001, we set aside an additional $1.7 million for the provision for doubtful accounts, less than in the previous year as our customer base had shifted towards companies with better credit ratings and liquidity. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expense decreased from 13% in 1999 to 11% in 2000. While expenses did increase in dollar amount by $10.2 million, the primary reason for the percentage of revenue decrease was due to an increase in revenues of $103.5 million from $31.5 million to $135.0 million As a percentage of revenues, general and

21


administrative expense increased from 11% in 2000 to 15% in 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in salary costs and costs for outside professional services while revenues remained flat. In 2002, we expect that general and administrative expenses will be flat or slightly less than the prior year.
 
Amortization of Stock-based Compensation.    Amortization of stock-based compensation includes the amortization of unearned employee stock-based compensation and expenses for stock granted to consultants in exchange for services. Employee stock-based compensation expense is amortized over a five-year vesting period using the multiple option approach. We amortized employee stock-based compensation expense of $4.5 million in 1999, $3.4 million in 2000 and $1.8 million in 2001. We expect to record employee stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $1.0 million, $500,000, and $100,000 for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Unearned compensation expense will be reduced in future periods to the extent that options are terminated prior to vesting. We recorded expenses of $46,000, $320,000 and $120,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively, in connection with stock issued for services.
 
Amortization of Goodwill and Other Purchased Intangibles.    In 2001, amortization of goodwill and other purchased intangible assets associated with the acquisition of XMLSolutions Corporation resulted in a $2.1 million and $1.5 million charge to earnings, respectively. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 141 and 142 (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements), goodwill will no longer be amortized after December 31, 2001 but will be subject to a test of impairment at least annually. The purchased intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. There were no acquisitions in fiscal year 1999 or 2000.
 
Acquired In-Process Technology.    In-process technology represents that portion of the purchase price of an acquisition related to the research and development activities which have not demonstrated their technological feasibility and have no alternative future uses. Accordingly, we recognized an expense of $1.5 million in 2001 in conjunction with the completion of the acquisition of XMLSolutions Corporation for in-process technology relating to XMLSolutions’ Collaborative Enablement Program.
 
Other Income, net.    Other income, net increased from $1.3 million in 1999 to $13.0 million in 2000. The increase was due to increased interest income on the proceeds from our initial public offering in September of 1999 and our follow-on public offering in February of 2000. Interest and other income decreased from $13.0 million in 2000 to $8.4 million in 2001. The decrease was mainly due to lower interest rates on our short-term investments and lower interest-generating cash balances. Also in 2001, we wrote off $1.2 million from the value of our equity investments in two private companies, which was offset by a gain of $2.0 million realized from the sale of another equity investment in a private company.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
We recorded an income tax provision of $1.0 million and $584,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The provisions relate to income taxes currently payable on income generated in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, state income taxes, and foreign withholding taxes incurred on software license revenues. We have not recognized the benefits of deferred tax assets for any period, since inception, because the realization of such benefits cannot be reasonably assured. We intend to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
 
We did not record an income tax provision in 1999 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We raised approximately $50.0 million in September 1999 from an initial public offering of 13,800,000 shares of our common stock, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and issuance costs. Prior to the offering we had financed our operations through private sales of common and preferred stock, with cumulative net proceeds of $27.7 million. In February 2000, we raised approximately $171.2 million from a follow-on public offering of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and issuance costs.
 
As of December 31, 2001, we had $60.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $96.7 million in short-term investments and $146.8 million in working capital with no outstanding long-term debt. As of December 31, 2000, we had $154.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $69.3 million in short-term investments and $197.1 million in working capital with no outstanding long-term debt.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million in 1999 and $20.9 million in 2000. Net cash used in operating activities was $61.0 million in 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities in 1999 was primarily attributed to an increase in deferred revenue and amortization of deferred stock-based compensation, which was offset almost entirely by an increase in net loss. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2000 was primarily attributed to a decrease in net loss and an increase in deferred revenue and accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used by operating activities in 2001 was primarily attributed to an increase in net loss and a decrease in deferred revenue.
 
The decline in our deferred revenue balance from $46.6 million to $27.3 million in 2001 was due to several factors. In 2000, many customers signed up as members of the Vitria Business Network, or VBN, our subscription based business initiative, which increased our deferred revenue balances during 2000. However, we did not receive any additional VBN members in 2001. Also in 2000, many customers prepaid for training, which also increased our deferred revenue balance. As the training courses were delivered and revenue recognized, our deferred revenue balances decreased. However, this pattern of prepaying for training classes did not recur in 2001 as many customers sought to conserve their cash in a tougher economic environment. Also in 2001, we recorded fewer deals for which the license revenue was initially deferred based on collectibility or other issues.
 
The decrease in license revenue from $102.3 million in 2000 to $77.5 million in 2001 also affected our deferred support balances. First year support, which is initially deferred and then recognized as revenue over the term of the contract, decreased as our license revenue decreased. Support renewals also declined from their 2000 levels as some of our customers’ businesses failed in 2001. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2001, we did not record support renewals that were billed in advance of their term. Accordingly, these billings were also excluded from accounts receivable at December 31, 2001. All of these factors resulted in a decline in our deferred support revenue balances.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $17.8 million in 1999, $93.8 million in 2000 and $38.4 million in 2001. In 1999, net cash used in investing activities included purchases of marketable debt securities of $13.3 million and purchases of fixed assets of $4.6 million. In 2000, net cash used in investing activities consisted of equity investments of $5.1 million made in several private companies, purchases of marketable debt securities of $220.4 million, proceeds from maturities of marketable debt securities totaling $145.6 million and $13.9 million for the purchase of fixed assets. In 2001, net cash used in investing activities consisted of purchases of marketable debt securities of $397.1 million, proceeds from maturities of marketable debt securities totaling $370.2 million, $8.9 million of acquisition related expenses, $6.7 million for purchases of fixed assets and proceeds of $4.0 million from sales of equity investments.
 
Net cash generated from financing activities was $55.6 million in 1999, $175.6 million in 2000 and $5.3 million in 2001. Net cash generated from financing activities consists primarily of net proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred and common stock.

XMLSolutions Corporation Acquisition
 
On April 11, 2001, we completed the acquisition of XMLSolutions Corporation, a Virginia corporation. The total purchase price was approximately $17.0 million, of which approximately $7.0 million was paid to preferred shareholders, approximately $2.1 million was related to transaction costs and expenses, and approximately $7.9 million was related to the assumption of XMLSolutions’ liabilities.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, Vitria did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which are typically established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
 
Estimated future uses of cash in 2002 are primarily to fund operations and to a lesser extent to fund capital expenditures. In 2002, we expect to fund these uses from available cash balances, cash generated from operations and interest on available cash balances. Our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent upon our ability to sell our products and services and generate revenue, as well as our ability to manage our operating costs. In turn, our ability to sell our products is dependent upon both the economic climate and the competitive factors of the marketplace in which we operate.
 
In the past, we have invested significantly in our operations. For the next year, we expect that operating expenses will decline slightly as a percentage of planned revenue, but will be approximately flat in absolute dollars. However, we anticipate that operating expenses and planned capital expenditures will continue to constitute a material use of our cash resources. We expect our capital expenditures in the next year to be at approximately the same level of spending as in fiscal year 2001. In addition, we may utilize cash resources to fund acquisitions or investments in other businesses, technologies or products lines. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating expense requirements for at least the next twelve months. At some point in the future we may require additional funds to support our working capital and operating expense requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise these additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. If we need to seek additional financing, there is no assurance that this additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on reasonable terms and not dilutive to our stockholders.
 
We have a limited operating history that makes it difficult to predict future operating results. We believe our success requires expanding our customer base and continuing to enhance our BusinessWare products. We intend to continue to invest selectively in sales, marketing and research and development and expect to incur operating losses through the third quarter of 2002. Our revenues, operating results and cash flows depend upon the volume and timing of customer orders and payments and the date of product delivery. Historically, a substantial portion of revenues in a given quarter have been recorded in the third month of that quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the last two weeks of the third month. We expect this trend to continue and, therefore, any failure or delay in the closing of orders would have a material adverse effect on our quarterly operating results and cash flows. Since our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenues and because a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in the recognition of revenue from one or more license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and cause unexpected results. Revenues from contracts that do not meet our revenue recognition policy requirements for which we have been paid or have a valid receivable are recorded as deferred revenues. While a portion of our revenues each quarter is recognized

24


from deferred revenue, our quarterly performance will depend primarily upon entering into new contracts to generate revenues for that quarter. New contracts may not result in revenue during the quarter in which the contract was signed, and we may not be able to predict accurately when revenues from these contracts will be recognized. Our future operating results and cash flows will depend on many factors, including the following:
 
 
 
size and timing of customer orders and product and service delivery;
 
 
 
level of demand for our professional services;
 
 
 
changes in the mix of our products and services;
 
 
 
ability to protect our intellectual property;
 
 
 
actions taken by our competitors, including new product introductions and pricing changes;
 
 
 
costs of maintaining and expanding our operations;
 
 
 
introduction of new products;
 
 
 
timing of our development and release of new and enhanced products;
 
 
 
costs and timing of hiring qualified personnel;
 
 
 
success in maintaining and enhancing existing relationships and developing new relationships with system integrators;
 
 
 
technological changes in our markets, including changes in standards for computer and networking software and hardware;
 
 
 
deferrals of customer orders in anticipation of product enhancements or new products;
 
 
 
delays in our ability to recognize revenue as a result of the decision by our customers to postpone software delivery, or because of changes in the timing of when delivery of products or services is completed;
 
 
 
customer budget cycles and changes in these budget cycles;
 
 
 
external economic conditions;
 
 
 
availability of customer funds for software purchases given external economic factors;
 
 
 
costs related to acquisition of technologies or businesses;
 
 
 
ability to successfully integrate acquisitions;
 
 
 
changes in strategy and capability of our competitors and
 
 
 
liquidity and timeliness of payments from international customers.
 
As a result of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. It is likely that in some future quarter our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock would likely decline.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or “SFAS 133,” which provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended, was adopted by Vitria on January 1, 2001 and did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, or “SFAS 141”, Business Combinations and No. 142, or “SFAS 142”, Goodwill and Other

25


Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives no longer be amortized but instead be subject to impairment tests in accordance with SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001. The provisions of SFAS 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 141 or SFAS 142 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or “SFAS 144”, which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 144 establishes an accounting model for impairment of disposal of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In November 2001, the staff of the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an announcement on the topic of “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred” or the “Announcement”. The Announcement requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred as revenue in the income statement. The Announcement should be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and comparative financial statements for prior periods should be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. We will adopt the Announcement beginning in 2002. We have netted reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses against the related expenses in the consolidated statements of operations presented in this annual report. The Announcement will have no impact on gross margin or net income but will increase services revenue and cost of services revenue.
 
ITEM 7A.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
In the normal course of business, the financial position of Vitria is routinely subjected to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements and collectibility of accounts receivable. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures. As a result, we do not anticipate material losses in these areas. As we expand our operations internationally, we will also become subject to risks associated with currency rate movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.
 
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our investments of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest in highly liquid and high quality debt securities. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we invest in short-term securities with maturities of less than one year. If a one percentage point change in interest rates were to have occurred on December 31, 2001 or December 31, 2000, such a change would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio as of that date. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we have concluded that we do not have a material financial market risk exposure.
 
Business Risks
 
In addition to the risks discussed in “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our business is subject to the business risks set forth below.

26


 
Risks Related to Vitria
 
Since our short operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects, our future financial performance may disappoint securities analysts or investors and result in a decline in our stock price.
 
We were incorporated in October 1994. Until November 1997, we were engaged primarily in research and development of our initial product. We licensed our first product in November 1997. Because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge in our market and affect our business. The revenue and income potential of our market are unproven. As a result of our limited operating history, we have limited financial data that you can use to evaluate our business. You must consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges we might encounter because we are in the early stages of development in a new and rapidly evolving market.
 
Although we have in the past reported net income available to stockholders, we cannot guarantee we will do so in the future.
 
We have incurred substantial losses since inception as we funded the development of our products and the growth of our organization. We have an accumulated deficit of $79.2 million as of December 31, 2001. We intend to continue investing heavily in sales, marketing and research and development. As a result, we are likely to report future operating losses and cannot guarantee we will report net income in the future.
 
Our operating results fluctuate significantly and an unanticipated decline in revenue may disappoint securities analysts or investors and result in a decline in our stock price.
 
Although we have had significant growth in the past, we may not be able to grow our revenues or match prior growth rates and prospective investors should not use past results to predict future operating margins or results. Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may vary significantly in the future. If our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price is likely to decline. Period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not necessarily a good predictor of our future performance.
 
Our revenues and operating results depend upon the volume and timing of customer orders and payments and the date of product delivery. Historically, a substantial portion of revenues in a given quarter have been recorded in the third month of that quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the last two weeks of the third month. We expect this trend to continue and, therefore, any failure or delay in the closing of orders would have a material adverse effect on our quarterly operating results. Since our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenues and because a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in the recognition of revenue from one or more license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and cause unexpected results.
 
Our quarterly results will depend primarily upon entering into new or follow-on contracts to generate revenues for that quarter. New contracts may not result in revenue in the quarter in which the contract was signed, and we may not be able to predict accurately when revenues from these contracts will be recognized. Our operating results are also dependent upon our ability to manage our cost structure.
 
Our product may not achieve market acceptance, which could cause our revenues to decline.            
 
Deployment of our product requires interoperability with a variety of software applications and systems and, in some cases, the ability to process a high number of transactions per second. If our product fails to satisfy these demanding technological objectives, our customers will be dissatisfied and we may be unable to generate future sales. Failure to establish a significant base of customer references will significantly reduce our ability to license our product to additional customers.

27


 
Our revenues will likely decline if we do not develop and maintain successful relationships with system integrators.            
 
System integrators install and deploy our products and those of our competitors, and perform custom integration of systems and applications. Some system integrators engage in joint marketing and sales efforts with us. If these relationships fail, we will have to devote substantially more resources to the sales and marketing, and implementation and support of our product than we would otherwise have to, and our efforts may not be as effective as those of the system integrators. In many cases, these parties have extensive relationships with our existing and potential customers and influence the decisions of these customers. We rely upon these firms for recommendations of our product during the evaluation stage of the purchasing process, as well as for implementation and customer support services. A number of our competitors have strong relationships with these system integrators and, as a result, these system integrators may recommend competitors’ products and services. In addition, a number of our competitors have relationships with a greater number of these system integrators and, therefore, have access to a broader base of enterprise customers. Our failure to establish or maintain these relationships would significantly harm our ability to license and successfully implement our software product. In addition, we rely on the industry expertise and reach of these firms. Therefore, this failure would also harm our ability to develop industry-specific products. We are currently investing, and plan to continue to invest, significant resources to develop and maintain these relationships. Our operating results could be adversely affected if these efforts do not generate license and service revenues necessary to offset this investment.
 
We may suffer product deployment delays, a lower quality of customer service and increased expenses if sufficient system integrator implementation teams are not available.
 
System integrators help our customers install and deploy our product. These system integrators are not contractually required to implement our product, and competition for these resources may preclude us from obtaining sufficient resources to provide the necessary implementation services to support our needs. If the number of installations of our product exceeds our access to the resources provided by these system integrators, we will be required to provide these services internally, which would significantly limit our ability to meet our customers’ implementation needs and increase our expenses. In addition, we cannot control the level and quality of service provided by our current and future implementation partners.
 
Because a small number of customers have in the past accounted for a substantial portion of our revenues, our revenues could decline due to the loss or delay of a single customer order.
 
Sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 31% of total revenues in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Our license agreements do not generally provide for ongoing license payments. Therefore, we expect that revenues from a limited number of customers will continue to account for a significant percentage of total revenues in future quarters. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a variety of factors, including the reliability, security, scalability, breadth and depth of our products, and cost-effectiveness of our products. The loss or delay of individual orders could have a significant impact on revenues and operating results. Our failure to add new customers that make significant purchases of our product and services would reduce our future revenues.
 
Our sales are concentrated in the telecommunications, manufacturing, financial services, energy, insurance and healthcare industries, and if our customers in these markets decrease their information technology spending, or we fail to penetrate other industries, our revenues may decline.            
 
We expect to continue to direct our sales and marketing efforts toward companies in the telecommunications, manufacturing, financial services, energy, insurance and healthcare industries. Given the high degree of competition and the rapidly changing environment in these industries, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue sales in these industries at current levels. In addition, we intend to market our product in new vertical markets. Customers in these new vertical markets are likely to have different requirements and

28


may require us to change our product design or features, sales methods, support capabilities or pricing policies. If we fail to successfully address these new vertical markets we may experience decreased sales in future periods.
 
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2000, companies in the telecommunications industry began sharply decreasing their capital expenditures as the U.S. economy contracted. This decrease in spending and the overall contraction in the U.S. economy negatively impacted our revenues in 2001 and may continue to negatively impact our revenues for the foreseeable future.
 
Failure of our current or potential small to mid-sized customers to receive necessary funding could harm our business.            
 
Some of our customers include small to mid-sized companies. Most privately and publicly held small to mid-sized companies require outside cash sources to continue operations. To the extent additional funding is less available for small to mid-sized companies as a result of a stock market decline, a downturn in the U.S. economy or other factors, demand for our products may decline significantly, thereby reducing our sales. On sales we do generate from small to mid-sized companies, we may need to defer recognizing revenue until payment is received.
 
The downturn in the U.S. economy may cause a further decline in capital allocations, thus reducing our revenue and affecting our accounts receivable.
 
The downturn in the U.S. economy may cause a further decline in capital allocations for software purchases. The delay in capital expenditures may cause a decrease in sales, may cause an increase in our accounts receivable and may make collection of license and support payments from our customers more difficult. In addition, if our customers seek protection from creditors through formal bankruptcy filings, we may experience an increase in delinquent accounts receivable.
 
Our markets are highly competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, we may suffer price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share.            
 
The market for our products is intensely competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological change. The intensity of competition is expected to increase in the future. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could significantly reduce our future revenues. Our current competitors include:            
 
B2Bi and EAI Vendors.    We face direct and indirect competition from vendors offering Business-to-Business Integration, or “B2Bi”, and Enterprise Application Integration, or “EAI”, as well as other aspects of our products. Some of these vendors include IBM, IONA, Mercator Software, Peregrine Systems, Sybase, SeeBeyond Technology, Tibco Software, and webMethods. In the future, some of these companies may expand their products to enhance existing, or to provide, process automation and real-time analysis functionality. Additionally, in this fast-growing market, these or other competitors may merge to attempt the creation of a more competitive entity, or one that offers a broader solution than we provide.            
 
Internal IT Departments.    “In-house” information technology departments of potential customers have developed or may develop systems that provide for some or all of the functionality of our products. We expect that internally developed application integration and process automation efforts will continue to be a principal source of competition for the foreseeable future. In particular, it can be difficult to sell our product to a potential customer whose internal development group has already made large investments in and progress towards completion of systems that our product is intended to replace.            
 
Other Software Vendors.    We may in the future also encounter competition from major enterprise software developers including Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP AG. In addition, Microsoft has announced its intention to

29


introduce products that could compete with some aspects of our product. Other companies that target the enterprise software market may also try to expand into the integration market.
 
Many of our competitors have more resources and broader customer relationships than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have extensive knowledge of our industry. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to offer a single solution and increase the ability of their products to address customer needs.            
 
Although we believe that our solutions generally compete favorably with respect to these factors, our market is relatively new and is evolving rapidly. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.
 
We experience long and variable sales cycles, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations for any given quarter.            
 
Our product is often used by our customers to deploy mission-critical solutions used throughout their organization. Customers generally consider a wide range of issues before committing to purchase our products, including product benefits, ability to operate with existing and future computer systems, ability to accommodate increased transaction volume and product reliability. Many customers will be addressing these issues for the first time. As a result, we or other parties, including system integrators, must educate potential customers on the use and benefits of our product and services. In addition, the purchase of our products generally involves a significant commitment of capital and other resources by a customer. This commitment often requires significant technical review, assessment of competitive products, and approval at a number of management levels within the customer’s organization. Because of these issues, our sales cycle has ranged from two to nine months and is difficult to predict for any particular license transaction. In addition, the downturn in the U.S. economy has caused some customers to increase budgetary controls or require additional management approvals within the customers’ organization prior to committing to significant capital purchases, either of which could result in an increased sales cycle.
 
The cost and difficulty in implementing our product could significantly harm our reputation with customers, diminishing our ability to license additional products to our customers.            
 
Our products are often purchased as part of large projects undertaken by our customers. These projects are complex, time consuming and expensive. Failure by customers to successfully deploy our products, or the failure by us or third-party consultants to ensure customer satisfaction, could damage our reputation with existing and future customers and reduce future revenues. In many cases, our customers must interact with, modify, or replace significant elements of their existing computer systems. The costs of our products and services represent only a portion of the related hardware, software, development, training and consulting costs. The significant involvement of third parties, including system integrators, reduces the control we have over the implementation of our products and the quality of customer service provided to organizations which license our software.
 
If we are not successful in continuing to develop industry specific solutions based on our products, our ability to increase future revenues could be harmed.            
 
We have developed and intend to continue to develop solutions based on BusinessWare which incorporate business processes, connectivity and document transformations specific to the needs of particular industries, including telecommunications, manufacturing, financial services, energy, insurance and healthcare industries. This presents technical and sales challenges and requires collaboration with third parties, including system integrators and standard organizations, and the commitment of significant resources. If we are not successful in developing these targeted solutions or these solutions do not achieve market acceptance, our ability to increase future revenues could be harmed.

30


 
If our new VCA products are not commercially successful, our revenues may decline.
 
The market for our family of VCA products may not develop as quickly or broadly as we anticipate. Our future prospects could be harmed and our revenues could decline if our family of VCA products do not achieve market acceptance and commercial success.
 
If we are not successful in selling products in specific industries, our ability to increase future revenues may be harmed.
 
We have developed and intend to continue to develop products for specific industries, including telecommunications, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, financial services and energy. Specific industries may experience economic downturns or regulatory changes that may result in delayed spending decisions by customers or require changes to our products. We may be unable to meet the needs of specific industries or adapt our products to the changing needs of specific industries. If our products are not accepted in specific industries, our ability to increase future revenues could be harmed.
 
Our operating results are substantially dependent on license revenues from essentially one product and our business could be materially harmed by factors that adversely affect the pricing and demand for our product.            
 
Since 1998, a majority of our total revenues has been, and is expected to be, derived from the license of our BusinessWare product and for applications for that product. Accordingly, our future operating results will depend on the demand for BusinessWare by future customers, including new and enhanced releases that are subsequently introduced. If our competitors release new products that are superior to BusinessWare in performance or price, or we fail to enhance BusinessWare and introduce new products in a timely manner, demand for our product may decline. A decline in demand for BusinessWare as a result of competition, technological change or other factors would significantly reduce our revenues.
 
If our products do not operate with the many hardware and software platforms used by our customers, our business may fail.            
 
We currently serve a customer base with a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, packaged software applications and networking platforms. If our products fail to gain broad market acceptance, due to their inability to support a variety of these platforms, our operating results may suffer. Our business depends, among others, on the following factors:
 
 
 
our ability to integrate our product with multiple platforms and existing, or legacy, systems and to modify our products as new versions of packaged applications are introduced;
 
 
 
the portability of our products, particularly the number of operating systems and databases that our products can source or target;
 
 
 
our ability to anticipate and support new standards, especially Internet standards;
 
 
 
the integration of additional software modules under development with our existing products; and
 
 
 
our management of software being developed by third parties for our customers or use with our products.
 
If we fail to introduce new versions and releases of our products in a timely manner, our revenues may decline.            
 
We may fail to introduce or deliver new products on a timely basis, if at all. In the past, we have experienced delays in the commencement of commercial shipments of our BusinessWare products. To date, these delays have not had a material impact on our revenues. If new releases or products are delayed or do not achieve market acceptance, we could experience a delay or loss of revenues and cause customer dissatisfaction. In

31


addition, customers may delay purchases of our products in anticipation of future releases. If customers defer material orders in anticipation of new releases or new product introductions, our revenues may decline.
 
Our products rely on third-party programming tools and applications. If we lose access to these tools and applications, or are unable to modify our products in response to changes in these tools and applications, our revenues could decline.            
 
Our programs utilize Java programming technology provided by Sun Microsystems. We also depend upon access to the interfaces, known as “APIs,” used for communication between external software products and packaged application software. Our access to APIs of third-party applications are controlled by the providers of these applications. If the application provider denies or delays our access to APIs, our business may be harmed. Some application providers may become competitors or establish alliances with our competitors, increasing the likelihood that we would not be granted access to their APIs. We also license technology related to the connectivity of our product to third-party database and other applications and we incorporate some third-party technology into our product offerings. Loss of the ability to use this technology, delays in upgrades, failure of these third parties to support these technologies, or other difficulties with our third-party technology partners could lead to delays in product shipment and could cause our revenues to decline.
 
We could suffer losses and negative publicity if new versions and releases of our products contain errors or defects.            
 
Our products and their interactions with customers’ software applications and IT systems are complex and, accordingly, there may be undetected errors or failures when products are introduced or as new versions are released. We have in the past discovered software errors in our new releases and new products after their introduction which has resulted in additional research and development expenses. To date, these additional expenses have not been material. We may in the future discover errors in new releases or new products after the commencement of commercial shipments. Since many customers are using our products for mission-critical business operations, any of these occurrences could seriously harm our business and generate negative publicity.
 
If we fail to develop our management system and infrastructure to support our growth, our ability to market and sell our products and develop new products may be harmed.
 
We must plan and manage our growth effectively in order to offer our products and services and achieve revenue growth and profitability in a rapidly evolving market. For us to effectively manage our growth, we must continue to do the following:
 
 
 
install new management and information control systems; and
 
 
 
expand, train and motivate our workforce.
 
In particular, we continue to add new software systems to complement and enhance our existing accounting, human resource and sales and marketing software systems. If we fail to install these software systems in an efficient and timely manner, or if the new systems fail to adequately support our level of operations, then we could incur substantial additional expenses to remedy these failures.
 
If we do not keep pace with technological change, our products may be rendered obsolete and our operating results may suffer.            
 
Our industry is characterized by very rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards. Our existing products will be rendered obsolete if we fail to introduce new products or product enhancements that meet new customer demands, support new standards or integrate with new or upgraded versions of packaged applications. We have also found that the technological life cycle of our product is difficult to estimate. We believe that we must

32


continue to enhance our current products while we concurrently develop and introduce new products that anticipate emerging technology standards and keep pace with competitive and technological developments. Failure to do so will harm our ability to compete. As a result, we are required to continue to make substantial product development investments.
 
If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to compete will be harmed.            
 
We depend on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel. None of these persons are bound by an employment agreement. The loss of senior management or other key research, development, sales and marketing personnel could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results. In particular, Dr. JoMei Chang, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. M. Dale Skeen, our Chief Technology Officer, would be difficult to replace.            
 
In addition, we must attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We face significant competition for individuals with the skills required to develop, market and support our products and services. We cannot assure that we will be able to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of these highly skilled employees.
 
We depend on the increasing use of the Internet and on the growth of electronic commerce. If the use of the Internet and electronic commerce does not grow as anticipated, our revenues could decline and our business will be seriously harmed.            
 
We depend on the increased acceptance and use of the Internet as a medium for electronic commerce and the adoption by businesses of ebusiness solutions. Rapid growth in the use of the Internet is a recent occurrence. As a result, acceptance and use may not continue to develop at historical rates and a sufficiently broad base of business customers may not adopt or continue to use the Internet as a medium of commerce. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services and products over the Internet are subject to a high level of uncertainty, and there exist few proven services and products.
 
Our future results may depend significantly on the use of our electronic commerce platform in electronic marketplaces.            
 
We have entered into agreements with licensees who are forming networks that will be powered by our business-to-business electronic commerce platform. These networks have been recently formed and are at an early stage of development. There is no guarantee regarding the level of activity of different companies in these networks, the effectiveness of the interaction among companies using our business-to-business electronic commerce platform and of the attractiveness of offerings of our competitors. If these networks are not successful, our business, operating results and financial position could be affected.
 
If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, we may lose these rights and our business may be seriously harmed.            
 
We depend upon our ability to develop and protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights to distinguish our products from our competitor’s products. The use by others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws afford only limited protection. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights.

33


 
If our source code is released to our customers, our ability to protect our proprietary rights could be jeopardized and our revenues could decline.            
 
Some of our license agreements require us to place the source code for our products in escrow. These agreements generally provide these customers with a limited, non-exclusive license to use this code if:
 
 
 
we fail to provide the product or maintenance and support;
 
 
 
we cease to do business without a successor; or
 
 
 
there is a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Vitria.
 
Our revenues could decline and our business could be seriously harmed if customers were granted this access.
 
Our products could infringe the intellectual property rights of others causing costly litigation and the loss of significant rights.            
 
Software developers in our market will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products in different software industry segments overlap. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, prevent product shipment or cause delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. In the event an infringement claim against us is successful and we cannot obtain a license on acceptable terms or license a substitute technology or redesign our product to avoid infringement, our business would be harmed. Furthermore, former employers of our current and future employees may assert that our employees have improperly disclosed to us or are using confidential or proprietary information.
 
We may not successfully enter international markets or generate significant product revenues abroad, which could result in slower revenue growth and harm our business.            
 
We have opened international offices in countries including the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Spain, and Sweden and intend to establish additional international offices. There are a number of challenges to establishing operations outside of the United States and we may be unable to successfully generate significant international revenues. If we fail to successfully establish our products in international markets, we could experience slower revenue growth and our business could be harmed. It may be difficult to protect our intellectual property in certain international jurisdictions.
 
We may not be able to efficiently integrate the operations of our acquisitions which may harm our business.
 
We acquired XMLSolutions Corporation in April 2001. We may make additional acquisitions of, or significant investments in, businesses that offer complementary products, services, technologies or market access. If we are to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions, the operations of these companies must be integrated and combined efficiently. Customer relationships and strategic partnerships may be disrupted during the integration process which could result in lost sales and lost customers, and could harm our business. We may also incur significant expenses during the integration process. In addition, the dedication of management resources to integration may detract attention from our day-to-day business. The successful integration of any acquisition will also depend in part on the retention of key personnel. There can be no assurance that the integration process will be successful or that the anticipated benefits of any business integration will be fully realized. Achieving the benefits of any acquisition will depend in part on our ability to continue to successfully develop and sell our products and integrate new technologies to develop new products and product features, in a timely and efficient manner. If we are not successful in these efforts, our business may be harmed.

34


 
Failure to raise additional capital or generate the significant capital necessary to expand our operations and invest in new products could reduce our ability to compete and result in lower revenues.            
 
We may need to raise additional funds, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
 
 
 
develop or enhance our products and services;
 
 
 
acquire technologies, products or businesses;
 
 
 
expand operations, in the United States or internationally;
 
 
 
hire, train and retain employees; or
 
 
 
respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements.
 
Our failure to do any of these things could result in lower revenues and could seriously harm our business.
 
We are at risk of securities class action litigation due to our expected stock price volatility.
 
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially acute for us because technology companies have experienced greater than average stock price volatility in recent years and, as a result, have been subject to, on average, a greater number of securities class action claims than companies in other industries. In November 2001, Vitria and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action stockholder complaint. This litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, and could harm our business. See Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” for more information regarding this litigation.
 
We have implemented anti-takeover provisions which could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.
 
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:
 
 
 
establishment of a classified Board of Directors requiring that not all members of the Board of Directors may be elected at one time;
 
 
 
authorizing the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our Board of Directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;
 
 
 
prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;
 
 
 
limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;
 
 
 
prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders; and
 
 
 
establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings
 
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporations Law and the terms of our stock option plans may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of Vitria.

ITEM 9.
 
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On March 23, 2000, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was dismissed as our independent accountants and replaced by Ernst & Young LLP. This decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was approved by our Board of Directors upon recommendation by our Audit Committee. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on our financial statements and schedule as of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the year ended December 31, 1999, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Vitria Technology, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vitria Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a) of this Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Vitria Technology, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

VITRIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

 
Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The Company
 
Vitria Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), develops, markets and supports a family of software products, BusinessWare, and its applications, which enable customers to deploy sophisticated ebusiness solutions across the extended enterprise. The Company was incorporated in California in October 1994. The Company reincorporated in Delaware in September 1999.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign currency
 
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries are their local currencies. Balance sheet accounts are translated into United States dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated into United States dollars at average rates for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations and were not significant during any of the periods presented.
 
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted investments
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents and investments with original maturities greater than three months to be short-term investments. All of the Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive loss. Fair values are based upon quoted prices in an active market, or if that information is not available, on quoted market prices of instruments of similar characteristics. All of the Company’s short-term available-for-sale securities have a contractual maturity of one year or less. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in other expense.
 
Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted from use in operations for the purpose of securing standby letters of credit issued in conjunction with certain leased facilities with varying expiration dates, through June 2013. These investments consist of commercial paper and certificates of deposit. These investments are shown as restricted investments on our accompanying balance sheet.

46


VITRIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives of three years are used for computer equipment, software licenses and furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.
 
Goodwill and intangible assets
 
The cost of business acquisitions are first allocated to tangible and intangible assets assumed according to their respective fair values, with the excess purchase price being allocated to goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years under the current accounting guidance at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the accumulated amortization of goodwill and intangible assets were $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2002, the amortization of any remaining book value of goodwill will cease and the new impairment-only model will apply. (See Recent accounting pronouncements.)
 
Long-lived assets
 
The Company periodically assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets and goodwill, in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, or SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. A review for impairment is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable such as a significant industry or economic downturn, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s over all business. If indicators of impairment exist, determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the aggregate undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset(s), the resulting impairment charge to be recorded is calculated based on the fair value of such assets. No impairment charges have been recorded through December 31, 2001. Effective January 1, 2002, impairment of goodwill and impairment of other long-lived assets will be assessed according to new accounting guidelines as described below (see Recent Accounting Pronouncements).
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company derives revenues from software licenses to end users for its BusinessWare products and related services, which include maintenance and support, consulting and training services. The Company follows Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. In accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2 as amended, the Company records revenue from software licenses when a license agreement is signed by both parties, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable and delivery of the product has occurred. For electronic delivery, the product is considered to have been delivered when the access code to download the software from the Internet has been provided to the customer. If an element of the license agreement has not been delivered, revenue for the element is deferred based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. If vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist, all revenue is deferred until sufficient objective evidence exists or all elements have been delivered. The Company treats all arrangements with payment terms longer than normal as not fixed or determinable. The Company’s normal payment terms currently range from “net 30 days” to “net 90 days” for domestic and international customers. Revenue is deferred for those agreements which exceed normal payment terms. If the fee due from the customer is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Revenue on arrangements with customers who are not the ultimate users (primarily systems integrators) is not recognized until evidence of sell through arrangement to an end user has been received.

47


VITRIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
Marketing assistance fees are commissions which are paid to third party partners who have contributed to the successful completion of a license transaction in accordance with a written agreement and specific project authorization executed with Vitria. Such fees are recorded as a reduction of the related license revenue.
 
Payments received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue. When the software license arrangement requires the Company to provide consulting services for significant production, customization or modification of the software, or when the customer considers these services essential to the functionality of the software product, both the product license revenue and consulting services revenue are recognized in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.” The Company recognizes revenue from these arrangements using the percentage of completion method based on cost inputs and, therefore, both product license and consulting services revenue are recognized as work progresses.
 
Revenues from maintenance and support are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenues from consulting and training are deferred and recognized when the services are performed and collectibility is deemed probable.
 
A portion of the Company’s revenues has been derived from government grants. Government grant revenues are recognized as research is performed and allowable costs are incurred. Revenues from government grants were $128,000 and $1.2 million for the years December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company recognized no government grant revenue in the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company has established deferred government grant revenue reserves of $1.1 million. Future revenue recognition for this deferred government grant revenue is dependent upon confirmation by the government of the results of several audits. The Company has not yet received the final acceptance from the government based upon these audits, which were completed in 2001. Based upon a review of the audit findings, the Company does not expect to recognize material future government grant revenues.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
 
Advertising costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $353,000, $6.3 million and $21,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.
 
Research and development
 
Research and development expenses include costs incurred by the Company to develop and enhance the Company’s software. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Software development costs for external use
 
Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Material software development costs incurred subsequent to the time a product’s technological feasibility has been established, using the working model approach, through the time the product is available for general release to customers, are capitalized. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers, and is computed as the greater of (1) the ratio of current gross revenues for a product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product, or (2) the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product. To date, development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant and therefore have been expensed as incurred.

48


VITRIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
Software development costs for internal use
 
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” Historically, internal use software costs were insignificant. During fiscal 2000, the Company began capitalizing certain external costs incurred to acquire or create internal use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces, installation and testing of the software. As of December 31, 2001, we had accumulated $1.9 million in development costs for internal use software which had not yet been placed into service. These costs will be amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally three years), beginning when the computer software is ready for its intended use.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) as amended by FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). Under APB No. 25 and related interpretations, unearned compensation is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price. Unearned compensation is amortized and expensed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 using the multiple option approach. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”
 
Income taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
 
Net loss per share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No.128, “Earnings Per Share,” and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Basic earnings per share does not include shares subject to the Company’s right of repurchase, which lapses ratably over the related vesting term. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus shares of potential common stock. Shares of potential common stock are composed of shares of common stock subject to the Company’s right of repurchase and shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method). The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes shares of potential common stock if the effect is anti-dilutive.

Segment information
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” During each of the three years ended December 31, 2001 the Company’s management considers its business activities to be focused on the license of its products and related services to end-user customers. Since management’s primary form of internal reporting is aligned with the offering of products and services, the Company believes it operates in one segment. Vitria sells its products primarily to the telecommunications, manufacturing, financial services, energy, insurance and healthcare markets in the United States and in foreign countries through its direct sales personnel and its alliance partners. The Company’s customers have primarily been located in the United States. The Company recognized approximately 33% of its revenue from customers located outside the United States for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. All of the Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2001 and 2000, were deposited in money market accounts with financial institutions which management believes are of high credit quality or in commercial paper, auction paper and bonds. The Company’s deposits with its financial institutions may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
 
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable.
 
The Company derives its revenue primarily from one product, Businessware, and applications for that product.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or “SFAS 133,” which provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended, was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2001 and did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “or SFAS 141”, Business Combinations and No. 142, or “SFAS142”, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to impairment tests in accordance with the Statements at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001. The provisions of SFAS 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 142 to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or “FAS 144”, which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 144 establishes an accounting model for impairment of disposal of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In November 2001, the staff of the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an announcement on the topic of “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expenses Incurred” (the “Announcement”). The Announcement requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred as revenue in the income statement. The Announcement should be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and comparative financial statements for prior periods should be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this announcement. The Company will adopt the Announcement beginning in 2002. The Company has netted reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses against the related expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Announcement will have no impact on gross profit or net income but will increase services revenue and cost of services revenue.

At December 31, 2001, the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance was $40.7 million. Of this balance, 17% or $7.0 million represents revenue that has not yet been recognized and is included in the deferred revenue balance. At December 31, 2000, the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance was $40.4 million. Of this balance, 31% or $12.7 million represents revenue that has not yet been recognized and is included in the deferred revenue balance.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company’s deferred revenue balance was $27.3 million. Of this balance, 5%, or $1.4 million has been deferred due to customer credit issues. At December 31, 2000, the Company’s deferred revenue balance was $46.6 million. Of this balance, 9%, or $4.3 million has been deferred due to customer credit issues. In accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2, the Company records revenue from software licenses when the following criteria have been met: a license agreement has been signed by both parties, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the fee is probable and delivery of the product has occurred. In those cases where all other elements for revenue recognition have been met except customer credit criteria, the Company defers recognizing revenue until the customer pays or other evidence of probability of collection is obtained.

Note 4—Equity Investments
 
The Company held approximately $464,000 and $5.1 million of common stock of various private companies at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These investments are classified as long-term investments and included in other assets in the balance sheet, and are accounted for using the cost method as the Company has an ownership interest of less than twenty percent and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are reviewed each reporting period for impairment and, if appropriate, written down to their estimated fair value.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2001, we sold all of the common stock of a private company and recognized a gain of $2.0 million. We also recognized an other-than-temporary decline in value of $2.6 million in two other equity investments. No gain or loss was recognized in 2000 or 1999.

VITRIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
Note 5 —Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Vitria adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, on January 1, 2001, and its adoption has not had a material effect on our financial statements. SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., unrealized gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether a derivative instrument has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through current earnings.
 
To protect against possible changes in values of certain foreign currency denominated receivables, primarily resulting from sales outside the United States, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts which qualify and are designated as fair value hedges. The gains and losses on these forward contracts as well as the offsetting losses and gains on the hedged receivables are recognized in current earnings. The effectiveness test for these contracts is determined by using the forward-to-forward rate comparison for currency forward contracts, which makes same-currency hedges perfectly effective. For the year ended December 31, 2001, gains and losses on the portions of these forward contracts that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, as well as the ineffective portion of these hedging instruments, were not material. At December 31, 2001, the Company had no outstanding derivative instruments. The Company did not engage in any hedging activities in fiscal year 2000 or 1999.
 
Note 6—Acquisition
 
On April 11, 2001 Vitria acquired XMLSolutions Corporation, a provider of XML (extended markup language) transformation technology headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
The cost to acquire XMLSolutions is set forth below and has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their respective fair values, with the excess purchase price being allocated to goodwill. The fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is based upon an independent valuation.

An independent valuation specialist performed an allocation of the total purchase price of XMLSolutions to its individual assets. The purchase price was allocated to XMLSolutions’ tangible assets and specific intangible assets such as developed technology, in-process technology, trademarks and assembled workforce.
 
In-process technology represents that portion of the purchase price of an acquisition related to the research and development activities which have not demonstrated their technological feasibility and have no alternative future uses. Accordingly, Vitria recognized an expense of $1.5 million during the quarter ending June 30, 2001 in conjunction with this acquisition.
 
Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price of an investment in an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years under the current accounting guidelines at December 31, 2001. As of January 1, 2002, the amortization of any remaining book value of goodwill will cease and the new impairment-only model will apply.
 
If the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2000, Vitria’s unaudited pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies:
 
The Company has no other contractual cash obligations except for the following operating lease commitments.
 
Operating Leases
 
The Company leases office space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases through 2013. Some of them have options to renew at varying terms. Some of the leases require payment of property taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities.
 
The terms of the headquarters office leases in California provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. Total rent expense under operating lease agreements was $9.1 million, $6.7 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
In December 2000, the Company entered into agreements to sublease one of its leased buildings. The subleases commenced in January 2001 and expire in March 2002 and June 2002.

Contingencies
 
From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, there are no pending claims of which the outcome is expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
In November 2001, Vitria and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and captioned Kideys, et al., v. Vitria Technology, Inc., et al., Case No. 01-CV-10092. The plaintiffs allege that Vitria, certain of its officers and directors and the underwriters of its initial public offering, or IPO, violated the federal securities laws because Vitria’s IPO registration statement and prospectus contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed in the same court beginning in January 2001 against numerous companies that first sold their common stock publicly since the mid-1990s.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
On August 8, 2001, all of these IPO-related lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial purposes before United States Judge Shira Scheindlin of the Southern District of New York. Judge Scheindlin held an initial case management conference on September 7, 2001, at which time she ordered, among other things, that the time for all defendants to respond to any complaint be postponed until further order of the Court. Thus, neither Vitria nor any of its officers or directors has been required to answer the Complaint, and no discovery has been served on Vitria.
 
At a further status conference on March 11, 2002, Judge Scheindlin stated that she would appoint lead plaintiffs counsel in these IPO-related lawsuits in March 2002 and would require the appointed lead plaintiffs counsel to file amended, consolidated complaints in the these IPO-related lawsuits by April 17, 2002. Judge Scheindlin further stated that she did not expect the defendants to file motions to dismiss the amended, consolidated complaints until at least mid-June 2002. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.
 
The Company believes resolution of this litigation is not expected to harm the financial position of Vitria. However, there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of litigation and, depending on the amount and timing, an unfavorable resolution of these matters could harm the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
 
The Company is currently a party to various other legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, none of which is expected to harm the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
Note 8—Common Stock:
 
In September 1999, the Company completed an initial public offering of 13,800,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share (post split), raising proceeds of approximately $50.0 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other issuance costs. Immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock converted into an aggregate of 23,111,230 shares of common stock.
 
In December, 1999 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend to all holders of the Company’s common stock as of December 1999 and was distributed in January 2000. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect this stock split.
 
In February 2000, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $60.00 per share (post split) and realized proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other issuance costs, of $171.2 million.
 
In March 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend to all holders of the Company’s common stock as of March 22, 2000 and was distributed in April 2000. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the stock split.

FAS 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets are more likely than not. The Company has incurred losses for each of the three years ended December 31, 2001. Management believes that, based on the history of such losses and other factors, the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize its deferred tax assets and thus a full valuation reserve has been recorded at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase in valuation allowance was $22.8 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Approximately $10.4 million of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 is attributable to unbenefitted stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be credited to equity when realized.

Note 11—Related Party Transactions
 
In August 1999, certain employees of the Company exercised their stock options prior to vesting by issuance of full recourse promissory notes to the Company. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are due in August 2004. The notes are collateralized by the shares of common stock issued, which are subject to

the Company’s right to repurchase which lapses over time. The net amount outstanding has been reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Note receivable balances were $193,000 and $291,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
Note 12—Employee Benefit Plans
 
Deferred Compensation
 
In December 1998, the Company established a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for certain key executives providing for payments upon retirement, death or disability. Under the plan, certain employees receive payments equal to the sum of all amounts deferred at the election of the employee and any corporate contributions credited to the plan and due and owing to the employee, together with earning adjustments, minus any distributions. Through December 31, 2001, the Company did not make any contributions to the plan.
 
The Company has recorded the assets and liabilities for the deferred compensation at gross amounts in the accompanying balance sheet because such assets are not protected from the Company’s general creditors and, as such, these assets could be used to meet the obligations of the Company in the event of bankruptcy. The assets are recorded at fair value. Any changes in fair value are recognized as a reduction or increase in compensation expense. Plan assets and liabilities were $182,000 at December 31, 2001 and $182,000 at December 31, 2000.
 
Equity Incentive Plans
 
In March 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses and restricted stock to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. In October 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Executive Incentive Plan which provides for the granting of stock options to employees, directors and consultants. Options granted under the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan and the 1998 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) may be either incentive stock options (“ISO”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSO”). ISOs may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company. NSOs may be granted to employees and consultants of the Company. In January 1999 and December 1998, the Company sold 95,000 of the Series C convertible preferred stock to employees under the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
In June 1999, the Board of Directors adopted and, in July 1999 the stockholders approved, the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, which amended the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan, and amended the 1998 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plans”). The Amended Plans provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, and restricted stock purchase awards to employees, including officers, directors or consultants. The Company has reserved 65,922,128 shares of common stock for issuance under the Amended Plans. On December 31 of each year for 10 years, starting with the year 1999, the number of shares reserved automatically increases by 6.5% of the outstanding common stock calculated on a fully-diluted basis, with the number of options granted which qualify as incentive stock options never to exceed 32,000,000. Fully diluted common stock includes common stock subject to Vitria’s right of repurchase and common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The remaining number of authorized shares that could be issued under the Amended Plans was 25,212,030 at December 31, 2001.
 
In October 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan for French Employees (the “French Plan”) which is a sub-plan to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. The French Plan only provides for the granting of stock options.

VITRIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT—(Continued)

 
On June 22, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the Vitria Technology UK Sub-Plan (the “UK Plan”) which is a sub-plan to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. The UK Plan only provides for the granting of stock options.
 
On June 22, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan Sub Plan for Italian Employees (the “Italian Plan”) which is a sub-plan to the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. The Italian Plan only provides for the granting of stock options.
 
Options under the Amended Plans may be granted for periods of up to ten years and at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% and 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant. Furthermore, under the 1998 Executive Incentive Plan, no employee shall be eligible to be granted options to purchase more than 1,600,000 shares of common stock during any calendar year. Options granted generally vest over a five year or four year period. A portion of the shares sold to employees are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company subject to vesting, which is generally over a five year period from the earlier of grant date or employee hire date, as applicable, until vesting is complete. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were approximately 1,601,000 and 3,490,000 shares, respectively, subject to repurchase.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
In June 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, and in July 1999 the stockholders approved, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”). Under the plan, eligible employees can have up to 10% of their earnings withheld to be used to purchase shares of common stock on specified dates determined by the Board of Directors. The price of common stock purchased under the Purchase Plan will be equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the commencement date of each offering period or the specified purchase date. The Board of Directors may specify a look-back period of up to 27 months.
 
The Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. At the time it was adopted by the Board of Directors, 6,000,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. On August 14 of each year for 10 years, starting with the year 2000, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan automatically increases by the greater of (i) 2% of the outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis, or (ii) the number of shares required to restore the reserve to 6,000,000 shares. Such automatic share reserve increases may not exceed 66,000,000 shares in the aggregate over a 10-year period. On August 14, 2000 and on August 14, 2001, 2,756,131 and 2,647,760 shares, respectively, were added to the reserve. At December 31, 2001, 1,301,205 shares had been issued to date and 9,397,472 shares were reserved for future issuance.
 
On June 22, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted an initial offering of common stock under the Purchase Plan for employees of Vitria Technology, S.A.S. and Vitria Technology, S.R.L., organized under the laws of the Republic of France and Republic of Italy, respectively (“French and Italian Offerings”). As of December 31, 2001, no shares had been issued pursuant to the French and Italian Offerings.
 
Stock Option Exchange Program
 
On February 28, 2001, Vitria’s Board of Directors approved a voluntary stock option exchange program for certain employees. Under the program, employees had the opportunity to cancel outstanding stock options granted to them on or after September 17, 1999 in exchange for a new option grant for an equal number of shares granted on October 5, 2001. The program terminated on April 4, 2001. A total of 4,470,350 options were cancelled in connection with the option exchange. A total of 3,799,775 new options were granted on October 5, 2001 with an exercise price of $2.18 per share. Members of Vitria’s Board of Directors, executive officers and vice presidents were not eligible to participate in this program.
 
Unearned stock-based compensation
 
In connection with certain stock option grants, the Company recorded approximately $6.2 million and $6.8 million of unearned stock compensation for the excess of the deemed fair value over the exercise price at the date of grant for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Stock-based compensation is being recognized, using the multiple option method as prescribed by FASB Interpretation No. 28, over the option vesting period of generally five years. As a result, amortization of stock-based compensation was $1.8 million, $3.4 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and is expected to be $1.1 million in 2002, $500,000 in 2003 and $100,000 in 2004. Unearned compensation expense will be reduced in future periods to the extent that options are terminated prior to vesting. Vitria recorded expenses of $120,000, $320,000 and $46,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, in connection with stock issued for services rendered.

401(k) Plan
 
In May 1996, the Board of Directors adopted an employee savings and retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering substantially all of the Company’s employees. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may elect to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutory prescribed limit and have the amount of such reduction contributed to the 401(k) Plan. The Company may make contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible employees. To date, the Company has not made any contributions to the 401(k) Plan.
