Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
(a) |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of
Consolidation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts and results of operations of
NaviSite, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and thus should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in our fiscal 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed on November 2, 2004. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary
for a fair presentation of the Companys financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and
for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the
three and six months ended January 31, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the remainder
of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2005.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
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 the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by management include the useful
lives of intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets,
the collectability of receivables and other assumptions for
sublease and lease abandonment reserves.
Revenue consists of monthly fees for Web site and Internet
application management, hosting, colocations and professional
services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of
software and related maintenance contracts. Reimbursable
expenses charged to clients are included in revenue and cost of
revenue. Application management, hosting and colocation revenue
(other than installation fees) is billed and recognized over the
term of the contract, generally one to three years, based on
actual usage. Payments received in advance of providing services
are deferred until the period such services are provided.
Revenue from professional services is recognized on either a
time and material basis as the services are performed or under
the percentage of completion method for fixed price contracts.
We generally sell our professional services under contracts with
terms ranging up to five years. When current contract estimates
indicate that a loss is probable, a provision is made for the
total anticipated loss in the current period. Contract losses
are determined to be the amount by which the estimated service
costs of the contract exceed the estimated revenue that will be
generated by the contract. Unbilled accounts receivable
represents revenue for services performed that have not been
billed. Billings in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as
deferred revenue until the applicable revenue recognition
criteria are met. Revenue from the sale of software is
recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
the product has been delivered, the fees are fixed and
5

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is
reasonably assured. In instances where the Company also provides
application management and hosting services in conjunction with
the sale of software, software revenue is deferred and
recognized ratably over the expected customer relationship
period. If we determine that collection of a fee is not
reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at
the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is
generally upon receipt of cash.
|
|
(c) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash |
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company had long-term restricted cash of $1.7 million and
$1.8 million as of January 31, 2005 and July 31,
2004, respectively, which represents cash collateral
requirements for standby letters of credit associated with
several of the Companys facility and equipment leases.
|
|
(d) |
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 assets, which range from three to five
years. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under capital
leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the
shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
Assets acquired under capital leases in which title transfers to
us at the end of the agreement are amortized over the useful
life of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred.
|
|
(e) |
Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangibles |
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets. This statement requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted
future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
The Company reviews the valuation of goodwill in accordance with
SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142,
goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually in
lieu of being amortized. This testing is done in the fourth
quarter of each year. Furthermore, goodwill is required to be
tested for impairment on an interim basis if an event or
circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not an
impairment loss has been incurred. An impairment loss shall be
recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill
exceeds its implied fair value. Impairment losses shall be
recognized in operations. The Companys valuation
methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make
judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and
projections of future operating performance. If these
assumptions differ materially from future results, the Company
may record impairment charges in the future.
|
|
(f) |
Concentration of Credit Risk |
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable,
obligations under capital leases, software agreements, accounts
payable, and accrued expenses. As of January 31, 2005, the
carrying cost of these instruments approximated their fair
value. The financial instruments that potentially subject us to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts
receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade
receivables is limited due to the large number of customers
across many industries that comprise our customer
6
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
base. One third-party customer accounted for 8% and 14% of our
total revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. Accounts receivable included approximately
$2.9 million and $1.5 million due from this
third-party customer at January 31, 2005 and July 31,
2004, respectively.
|
|
(g) |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity
of a business enterprise during a period of time from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
sources. The Company reports accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss), resulting from foreign currency translation
adjustment, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method
in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
|
|
(i) |
Stock-Based Compensation Plans |
We account for our stock option plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
(APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and Related Interpretations and comply with the
disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123) and SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure. We recorded stock compensation
expense of approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million
during the three and six months ended January 31, 2005,
respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net
loss and net loss per common share if we had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to
stock-based compensation.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period, using either the
if-converted method for convertible preferred stock
and notes or the treasury stock method for warrants and options,
unless amounts are anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended January 31, 2005 and
2004, net loss per basic and diluted share is based on weighted
average common shares and excludes any common stock equivalents,
as they would be anti-dilutive due to the reported losses. For
the three and six months ended January 31, 2005, there were
521,966 and 521,904 dilutive shares, respectively, related to
warrants, employee stock options and unissued shares related to
the Avasta settlement that were excluded as they have an
anti-dilutive effect due to the net loss during these periods.
For the three and six months ended January 31, 2004, there
were 1,680,908 and 1,212,853 dilutive shares, respectively,
related to warrants and employee stock options that were
excluded as they have an anti-dilutive effect due to the net
loss during these periods.
We currently operate in one segment, managed IT services. The
Companys chief operating decision maker reviews financial
information at a consolidated level. The Company has determined
that reporting revenue at a service offering level is
impracticable.
The functional currencies of our wholly-owned subsidiaries are
the local currencies. The financial statements of the
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period
end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average
exchange rates during corresponding periods for revenue, cost of
revenue and expenses. Translation gains and losses are deferred
and accumulated as a separate component of stockholders
equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss)).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment,
which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants
of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on fair values. Pro forma disclosure of fair
value information is no longer an alternative. The statement is
effective in the first interim or annual period beginning after
June 15, 2005. Adoption is to be made using either the
modified prospective method or the modified retrospective
method. The modified prospective method recognizes cost based on
the requirements for all
8
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
share-based payments granted after the effective date and for
awards granted prior to the effective date that remain unvested
prior to the effective date. The modified retrospective method
includes the requirements of the modified prospective method but
also permits restatement of financial statements based on pro
forma amounts previously recognized under
SFAS No. 123. Restatement can either be for all prior
periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of
adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet
evaluated the impact of adoption of this pronouncement, which
must be adopted in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2006. We
currently disclose the pro forma impacts of recognizing fair
value as permitted by SFAS No. 123 as described in the
disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in the
preceding caption, Stock-Based Compensation Plans.
As of January 31, 2005, our principal sources of liquidity
included cash and cash equivalents and our financing agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank. We had a working capital deficit of
$36.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of
$1.5 million at January 31, 2005, as compared to a
working capital deficit of $36.7 million, including cash
and cash equivalents of $3.2 million, at July 31, 2004.
The total net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six
months ended January 31, 2005 was a decrease of
$1.7 million. The primary uses of cash during the six
months ended January 31, 2005 included $2.1 million
for purchases of property and equipment and approximately
$2.0 million in repayments on notes payable and capital
lease obligations. Our primary sources of cash during the six
months ended January 31, 2005 included $1.5 million
from operating activities, a $0.2 million decrease in
restricted cash and $0.7 million in proceeds from a note
payable. Net cash provided by operating activities of
$1.5 million during the six months ended January 31,
2005, resulted primarily from funding our $11.2 million net
loss, offset by $1.6 million of net changes in operating
assets and liabilities and non cash charges of approximately
$11.1 million. At January 31, 2005, we had an
accumulated deficit of $451.1 million, and have reported
losses from operations since incorporation. At July 31,
2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $439.9 million.
Our accounts receivable financing line with Silicon Valley Bank
allows for maximum borrowing of $20.4 million and expires
on April 29, 2006. On January 31, 2005, we had
an outstanding balance under the amended agreement of
$20.4 million. Borrowings are based on monthly recurring
revenue. We are required to prepare and deliver a written
request for an advance of up to three times the value of total
recurring monthly revenue, calculated to be monthly revenue
(including revenue from The New York State Department of Labor)
less professional services revenue. SVB may then provide an
advance of 85% of such value (or such other percentage as the
bank may determine). The interest rate under the amended
agreement is variable and is currently calculated at the
banks published prime rate plus 4.0%.
Following the completion of certain equity or debt financings,
and provided we continue to meet certain ratios, the interest
rate shall be reduced to the banks prime rate plus 1.0%.
In no event, however, will the banks prime rate be less
than 4.25%. The accounts receivable financing line at
January 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004 is reported net of
the remaining value ascribed to the related warrants of
$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
At January 31, 2005, the Company had $1.7 million in
outstanding standby letters of credit, issued in connection with
facility and equipment lease agreements, which are 100% cash
collateralized. Cash subject to collateral requirements has been
recorded as restricted cash and is classified as non-current on
our balance sheet at January 31, 2005 and July 31,
2004.
We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses in the
future. We have taken several actions we believe will allow us
to continue as a going concern, including the closing and
integration of strategic acquisitions, the changes to our senior
management and our bringing costs more in line with projected
revenue. We will need to find sources of additional financing in
order to remain a going concern. Potential sources include
public or private sales of equity or debt securities and the
sale of assets. We are obligated to use a significant portion of
any proceeds raised in an equity or debt financing or by the
sale of assets to make
9
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
payments on the notes payable to Waythere, Inc., depending on
the total net proceeds received by us in the financing (see
Note 11(e)).
Our operating forecast incorporates material trends, such as our
acquisitions, reductions in workforce and closings of
facilities. Our forecast also incorporates the future cash flow
benefits expected from our continued efforts to increase
efficiencies and reduce redundancies. Nonetheless, our forecast
includes the need to raise additional funds. Our cash flow
estimates are based upon attaining certain levels of sales,
maintaining budgeted levels of operating expenses, collections
of accounts receivable and maintaining our current borrowing
line with Silicon Valley Bank among other assumptions, including
the improvement in the overall macroeconomic environment.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet
such assumptions. Our sales estimate includes revenue from new
and existing customers, which may not be realized, and we may be
required to further reduce expenses if budgeted sales are not
attained. We may be unsuccessful in reducing expenses in
proportion to any shortfall in projected sales and our estimate
of collections of accounts receivable may be hindered by our
customers ability to pay. In addition, we are currently
involved in various pending and potential legal proceedings.
While we believe that the allegations against us in each of
these matters are without merit, and/or that we have a
meritorious defense in each, we are not able to predict the
final outcomes of any of these matters and the effect, if any,
on our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows. If we are ultimately unsuccessful in any of these
matters, we could be required to pay substantial amounts of cash
to the other parties. The amount and timing of any such payments
could adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company recorded a $0.3 million impairment charge
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 for property and
equipment, consisting primarily of unamortized leasehold
improvements, related to our 10 Maguire Road facility in
Lexington, MA, which we abandoned during the three months ended
October 31, 2004. The impairment charge is included in
Impairment, restructuring and other in the

During the six months ended January 31, 2005, we recorded
net purchase accounting adjustments of $0.4 million to
goodwill relating primarily to our acquisition of Surebridge on
June 10, 2004. We perform our annual impairment analysis of
goodwill in our fiscal fourth quarter.
Surebridge. On June 10, 2004, we completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities
of Surebridge, Inc., or Surebridge, a privately held provider of
managed application services for mid-market companies (now known
as Waythere, Inc.), in exchange for two promissory notes (see
Note 11) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$39.3 million, three million shares of our common stock and
the assumption of certain liabilities of Surebridge at closing.
The primary reasons for the acquisition included the addition of
service offerings, specific contractual relationships with
PeopleSoft and Microsoft, and established contractual revenue
base, as well as potential operational savings. As the primary
reasons for the acquisition were not related to the tangible net
assets of Surebridge, the purchase price was significantly in
excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The final purchase accounting is subject to final
resolution of a working capital adjustment calculation which is
expected to be completed during the third quarter of fiscal year
2005. We have included the financial results of Surebridge in
our consolidated financial statements beginning June 10,
2004, the date of acquisition.

Investment in Debt Securities |
In a privately negotiated transaction with Fir Tree Recovery
Master Fund, LP and Fir Tree Value Partners, LDC, pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement dated October 11, 2002 and in a series
of open market

NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
transactions from certain other third-party holders, we acquired
an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$36.3 million face value, 10% convertible senior notes
(Interliant Notes) due in 2006 of Interliant, Inc. (Interliant)
for a total consideration of approximately $2.0 million.
Interliant was a provider of managed services, which filed a
petition under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of New York
(White Plains) on August 5, 2002, and we made this
investment with the intention of participating in the
reorganization/sale of Interliant.
On May 16, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed us as the
successful bidder for the purchase of the Interliant Assets. We
used $0.6 million of the first projected distributions to
be made on our Interliant Notes as partial payment for the
assets acquired. As such, we have reduced the carrying value of
the Interliant Notes by this amount. On September 30, 2004,
the Third Amended Plan of Liquidation of Interliant and its
affiliated debtors became effective. An initial interim
distribution of $0.1 million was made on account of our
claim. While additional distributions on our Interliant Notes
are anticipated, the final amount and timing of such
distributions has not been determined. It may be greater or less
than the remaining carrying value, however, we have estimated
the value to approximate the $1.2 million carrying value
included in Other assets on our Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 31, 2005.

Silicon Valley Bank Financing Arrangements |
Our accounts receivable financing line with Silicon Valley Bank
allows for maximum borrowing of $20.4 million and expires
on April 29, 2006. On January 31, 2005, we had
an outstanding balance under the amended agreement of
$20.4 million. Borrowings are based on monthly recurring
revenue. We are required to prepare and deliver a written
request for an advance of up to three times the value of total
recurring monthly revenue, calculated to be monthly revenue
(including revenue from The New York State Department of Labor)
less professional services revenue. SVB may then provide an
advance of 85% of such value (or such other percentage as the
bank may determine). The interest rate under the amended
agreement is variable and is currently calculated at the
banks published prime rate plus 4.0%.
Following the completion of certain equity or debt financings,
and provided we continue to meet certain ratios, the interest
rate shall be reduced to the banks prime rate plus 1.0%.
In no event, however, will the banks prime rate be less
than 4.25%. The accounts receivable financing line at
January 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004 is reported net of
the remaining value ascribed to the related warrants of
$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Note Payable to Atlantic Investors, LLC
(Atlantic) |
On January 29, 2003, we entered into a $10.0 million
Loan and Security Agreement (Atlantic Loan) with Atlantic, a
related party. The Atlantic Loan bears an interest rate of
8% per annum. Interest is payable upon demand or, at
Atlantics option, interest may be added to the outstanding
balance due to Atlantic by NaviSite. Atlantic may make demand
for payment of amounts in excess of the minimum Atlantic Loan
amount of $2.0 million (Minimum Loan Amount), with
60 days notice. Atlantic can demand payment of the Minimum
Loan Amount with 90 days notice. Atlantic, at its sole
and absolute discretion, may advance other amounts to us such
that the aggregate amount borrowed by NaviSite does not exceed
the maximum loan amount, defined as the lesser of
$10.0 million or 65% of our consolidated accounts
receivables. On May 30, 2003, we repaid $2.0 million
of the approximate $3.0 million outstanding under the
Atlantic Loan and on June 11, 2003, we borrowed
$2.0 million under the Atlantic Loan. At
January 31, 2005, we had $3.0 million
outstanding under the Atlantic Loan. This amount is shown as
Note payable to related party on our Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Atlantic Loan is secured by all
of our receivables and is subordinated to the borrowings from
Silicon Valley Bank. As of January 31, 2005, the Company
had recorded accrued interest on this note in the amount of
$0.5 million.
On January 16, 2004, the Atlantic Loan was amended to
extend any and all Credit Advances under the Atlantic Loan made
prior to, or following, January 16, 2004, to be due
on or before the earlier of (i) August 1, 2004 or
(ii) five (5) business days following the closing of a
financing transaction or disposition pursuant to which the
Borrower receives gross proceeds of $13.0 million. On
July 13, 2004, the Atlantic Loan was amended to extend any
and all Credit Advances under the Atlantic Loan made prior to,
or following, July 13, 2004, to be due on or before the
earlier of (i) November 1, 2005 or (ii) five

transaction or disposition pursuant to which the Borrower
receives net proceeds of $13.0 million after satisfying the
mandatory prepayment obligation under those certain Notes due to
Surebridge, Inc. On October 12, 2004, the Atlantic Loan was
amended to extend any and all Credit Advances under the Atlantic
Loan made prior to, or following, October 12, 2004, to be
due on or before the earlier of (i) February 1, 2005
or (ii) five (5) business days following the closing

Notes Payable to the AppliedTheory Estate |
As part of CBTMs acquisition of certain AppliedTheory
assets, CBTM made and issued two unsecured promissory notes
totaling $6.0 million (Estate Liability) to the
AppliedTheory Estate which are due on June 10, 2006. The
Estate Liability bears interest at 8% per annum, which is
due and payable annually. At January 31, 2005, we had
approximately $0.3 million in accrued interest related to
this note, which is reflected within Accrued
expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Notes Payable to Landlord |
As part of an amendment to our 400 Minuteman Road lease in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2004, $2.2 million of our
future payments to the landlord of our 400 Minuteman Road
facility in Andover, MA were transferred into a note payable
(Landlord Note). The Landlord Note bears interest at an annual
rate of 11% and calls for 36 equal monthly payments of principal
and interest, with the final payment due on November 1,
2006. The $2.2 million represents leasehold improvements
made by the landlord, on our behalf, to the 400 Minuteman
facility in order to facilitate the leasing of a portion of the
facility (First Lease Amendment), as well as common area
maintenance and property taxes associated with the space.
In addition, during fiscal year 2004, we paid $120,000 and we
entered into a separate $150,000 note (Second Landlord Note)
with the landlord for additional leasehold improvements to
facilitate a subleasing transaction involving a specific section
of the 400 Minuteman location. The Second Landlord Note bears
interest at an annual rate of 11% and calls for 36 equal monthly
payments of principal and interest, with the final payment due
on March 1, 2007.

(e) |
Convertible Notes Payable to Waythere, Inc. (formerly
Surebridge) |
On June 10, 2004, in connection with our acquisition of the
Surebridge business, we issued two convertible promissory notes
in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$39.3 million. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance
of the notes at the annual rate of 10%, provided that if an
event of default shall occur and be continuing, the interest
rate shall be 15%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest
shall accrue or be payable on any principal amounts repaid on or
prior to the nine-month anniversary of the issuance date of the
notes. We must repay the outstanding principal of the notes with
all interest accrued thereon, no later than June 10, 2006.
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement,
$0.8 million of the primary note is callable at anytime for
a period of one year from June 10, 2004, the date of
closing. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, the
noteholder requested payment of $0.8 million and the
Company paid this amount during the second quarter of fiscal
year 2005.
In addition, if we realize net proceeds in excess of
$1.0 million from certain equity or debt financings or
sales of assets, we are obligated to make payments on the notes
equal to 75% of the net proceeds.
It shall be deemed an event of default under the notes if, among
other things, we fail to pay when due any amounts under the
notes, if we fail to pay when due or experience an event of
default with respect to any debts having an outstanding
principal amount of $500,000 or more, if we are delisted from
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or if we are acquired and the
acquiring party does not expressly agree to assume the notes. In
addition, certain bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
dissolution and receivership actions would be deemed an event of
default under the notes. If an event of default under the notes
occurs, the holder shall be entitled to declare the notes
immediately due and payable in full.
The notes provide that we shall not incur any indebtedness in
excess of $20.5 million in the aggregate, unless such
indebtedness is unsecured and expressly subordinated to the
notes, is otherwise permitted under the notes, or the proceeds
are used to make payments on the notes.

IPO Securities Litigation |
On or about June 13, 2001, Stuart Werman and Lynn McFarlane
filed a lawsuit against us, BancBoston Robertson Stephens, an
underwriter of our initial public offering in October 1999, Joel
B. Rosen, our then chief executive officer, and Kenneth W. Hale,
our then chief financial officer. The suit was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. The suit generally alleges that the defendants violated
federal securities laws by not disclosing certain actions
allegedly taken by Robertson Stephens in connection with our
initial public offering. The suit alleges specifically that
Robertson Stephens, in exchange for the allocation to its
customers of shares of our common stock sold in our initial
public offering, solicited and received from its customers
agreements to purchase additional shares of our common stock in
the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. The suit seeks
unspecified monetary damages and certification of a plaintiff
class consisting of all persons who acquired shares of our
common stock between October 22, 1999 and December 6,
2000. Three other substantially similar lawsuits were filed
between June 15, 2001 and July 10, 2001 by Moses Mayer
(filed June 15, 2001), Barry Feldman (filed June 19,
2001), and Binh Nguyen (filed July 10, 2001). Robert E.
Eisenberg, our president at the time of the initial public
offering in 1999, also was named as a defendant in the Nguyen
lawsuit.
On or about June 21, 2001, David Federico filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York a lawsuit against us, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Hale,
Robertson Stephens and other underwriter defendants including
J.P. Morgan Chase, First Albany Companies, Inc., Bank of
America Securities, LLC, Bear Stearns & Co., Inc., B.T.
Alex. Brown, Inc., Chase Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets,
Credit Suisse

First Boston Corp., Dain Rauscher, Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities, Inc., The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.,
J.P. Morgan & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities,
Lehman Brothers, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith, Inc., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., Robert
Fleming, Inc. and Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. The suit generally
alleges that the defendants violated the anti-trust laws and the
federal securities laws by conspiring and agreeing to raise and
increase the compensation received by the underwriter defendants
by requiring those who received allocation of initial public
offering stock to agree to purchase shares of manipulated
securities in the after-market of the initial public offering at
escalating price levels designed to inflate the price of the
manipulated stock, thus artificially creating an appearance of
demand and high prices for that stock, and initial public
offering stock in general, leading to further stock offerings.
The suit also alleges that the defendants arranged for the
underwriter defendants to receive undisclosed and excessive
brokerage commissions and that, as a consequence, the
underwriter defendants successfully increased investor interest
in the manipulated initial public offering of securities and
increased the underwriter defendants individual and
collective underwritings, compensation, and revenue. The suit
further alleges that the defendants violated the federal
securities laws by issuing and selling securities pursuant to
the initial public offering without disclosing to investors that
the underwriter defendants in the offering, including the lead
underwriters, had solicited and received excessive and
undisclosed commissions from certain investors. The suit seeks
unspecified monetary damages and certification of a plaintiff
class consisting of all persons who acquired shares of our
common stock between October 22, 1999 and June 12,
2001.
Those five cases, along with lawsuits naming more than 300 other
issuers and over 50 investment banks which have been sued in
substantially similar lawsuits, have been assigned to the
Honorable Shira A. Scheindlin (the Court) for all
pretrial purposes (the IPO Securities Litigation).
On September 6, 2001, the Court entered an order
consolidating the five individual cases involving us and
designating Werman v. NaviSite, Inc., et al., Civil
Action No. 01-CV-5374 as the lead case. A consolidated, amended
complaint was filed thereafter on April 19, 2002 (the
Class Action Litigation) on behalf of
plaintiffs Arvid Brandstrom and Tony Tse against underwriter
defendants Robertson Stephens (as successor-in-interest to
BancBoston), BancBoston, J.P. Morgan (as
successor-in-interest to Hambrecht & Quist),
Hambrecht & Quist and First Albany and against us and
Messrs. Rosen, Hale and Eisenberg (collectively, the
NaviSite Defendants). Plaintiffs uniformly allege
that all defendants, including the NaviSite Defendants, violated
the federal securities laws (i.e., Sections 11 and 15 of
the Securities Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5) by issuing and selling our
common stock pursuant to the October 22, 1999 initial
public offering, without disclosing to investors that some of
the underwriters of the offering, including the lead
underwriters, had solicited and received extensive and
undisclosed agreements from certain investors to purchase
aftermarket shares at pre-arranged, escalating prices and also
to receive additional commissions and/or other compensation from
those investors. At this time, plaintiffs have not specified the
amount of damages they are seeking in the Class Action
Litigation.
Between July and September 2002, the parties to the IPO
Securities Litigation briefed motions to dismiss filed by the
underwriter defendants and the issuer defendants, including
NaviSite. On November 1, 2002, the Court held oral argument
on the motions to dismiss. The plaintiffs have since agreed to
dismiss the claims against Messrs. Rosen, Hale and
Eisenberg without prejudice, in return for their agreement to
toll any statute of limitations applicable to those claims. By
stipulation entered by the Court on November 18, 2002,
Messrs. Rosen, Hale and Eisenberg were dismissed without
prejudice from the Class Action Litigation. On
February 19, 2003, an opinion and order was issued on
defendants motion to dismiss the IPO Securities
Litigation, essentially denying the motions to dismiss of all 55
underwriter defendants and of 185 of the 301 issuer defendants,
including NaviSite.
On June 30, 2003, our Board of Directors considered and
authorized us to negotiate a settlement of the pending
Class Action Litigation substantially consistent with a
memorandum of understanding negotiated among class plaintiffs,
the issuer defendants and the insurers for such issuer
defendants. Among other contingencies, any such settlement would
be subject to approval by the Court. Plaintiffs filed on
June 14, 2004,
17
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
a motion for preliminary approval of the Stipulation And
Agreement Of Settlement With Defendant Issuers And Individuals
(the Preliminary Approval Motion). On
February 15, 2005, the Court granted the Preliminary
Approval Motion in a written opinion which detailed the terms of
the settlement stipulation, its accompanying documents and
schedules, the proposed class notice and, with a modification to
the bar order to be entered, the proposed settlement order and
judgment (the Preliminary Approval Order). A further
conference is scheduled for March 18, 2005, at which time
the Court is expected to make final determinations regarding the
form, substance and program for notifying the settlement class
and to schedule a Fed. R. Civ. P 23 fairness hearing concerning
the settlement. If completed and then approved by the Court, the
settlement is expected to be covered by our existing insurance
policies and is not expected to have a material effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
We believe that the allegations against us are without merit
and, if the settlement is not finalized, we intend to vigorously
defend against the plaintiffs claims. Due to the inherent
uncertainty of litigation, we are not able to predict the
possible outcome of the suits and their ultimate effect, if any,
on our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.
On or about September 27, 2002, we received a demand for a
wage payment of $850,000 from our former Procurement Director,
Joseph Cloonan. We rejected the demand, alleging that
Mr. Cloonans claim is based, among other things, on a
potentially fraudulent contract. Mr. Cloonan also claimed
$40,300 for allegedly unpaid accrued vacation and bonuses and
that he may be statutorily entitled to treble damages and legal
fees. On October 11, 2002, NaviSite filed a civil complaint
with the Massachusetts Superior Court, Essex County, seeking a
declaratory judgment and asserting claims against
Mr. Cloonan for civil fraud, misrepresentation, unjust
enrichment and breach of duty of loyalty. Mr. Cloonan
asserted counter claims against NaviSite seeking the payments
set forth in his September 2002 demand. The discovery phase of
the case has concluded and in February 2005, the Company and
Mr. Cloonan filed motions for summary judgment with the
Court. We believe Mr. Cloonans allegations are
without merit and intend to vigorously defend them. Due to the
inherent uncertainty of litigation, we are not able to predict
the possible outcome of this matter and the effect, if any, on
our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
On October 28, 2002, CBTM, one of our subsidiaries, filed a
complaint in United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against Lighthouse International, alleging
six causes of action for copyright infringement, breach of
contract, account stated, unjust enrichment, unfair competition,
and misappropriation and/or conversion. The total claimed
damages are in the amount of approximately $1.9 million. On
or about January 16, 2003, Lighthouse filed and served its
answer and counterclaimed against CBTM claiming approximately
$3.1 million in damages and $5.0 million in punitive
relief.
On June 17, 2003, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York heard oral argument on
Lighthouses Motion for an Order Compelling the Debtor
(AppliedTheory) to Assume or Reject an Agreement, filed in
response to CBTMs complaint, and the objections to
Lighthouses motion filed by CBTM and AppliedTheory.
Lighthouse made this motion on the basis that it never received
notice of CBTM assuming the AppliedTheory contract for the
LighthouseLink Web site. The Bankruptcy Court declined to grant
Lighthouses motion, and instead ordered that an
evidentiary hearing be conducted to determine whether Lighthouse
received appropriate notice of the proposed assignment of the
contract by AppliedTheory to CBTM. The Bankruptcy Court ordered
that the parties first conduct discovery, and upon completion of
discovery, the Bankruptcy Court would schedule an evidentiary
hearing on the issues of due process and notice.
18
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
As to the U.S. District Court matter, the exchange of
written discovery and the majority of depositions of witnesses
have been completed. On June 15, 2004, District Court Judge
Pauley determined that both parties could proceed with their
respective summary judgment motions. All motion papers were to
be submitted by September 20, 2004, with oral argument
scheduled for October 15, 2004.
On August 4, 2004, however, upon the application of CBTM,
Bankruptcy Court Judge Gerber preliminarily enjoined Lighthouse
from asserting claims or counterclaims against CBTM relating to
the Lighthouse contract or any assets acquired by CBTM from
AppliedTheory pursuant to the sale order, except for the purpose
and to the extent necessary to setoff claims brought by CBTM
against Lighthouse relating to the Lighthouse contract. As a
result, Lighthouse is limited to seeking only those pre- and
post- bankruptcy counterclaims that may constitute as set-offs
against the claims asserted by CBTM. Subsequent to issuing the
injunction order, Bankruptcy Judge Gerber held several
conferences urging the parties to submit their dispute to
court-ordered mediation. In conjunction with the Bankruptcy
Courts request, District Court Judge Pauley ordered a stay
of all remaining expert discovery and motion procedures pending
the participation and completion of mediation as requested by
Bankruptcy Court Judge Gerber. The matter was then transferred
to mediation by order of the Courts.
In September 2004, the parties selected Harvey A.
Stricken, Esq. as mediator to the dispute. On
October 6, 2004, the mediation was held with no particular
outcome. At the suggestion of the mediator, the parties
participated in a second mediation session on January 12,
2005, during which the parties successfully reached an
understanding, subject to final documentation, of the terms of a
proposed settlement and compromise of all disputes between them.
Assuming the proposed settlement, which is in the process of
being reduced to writing, is fully executed and becomes final,
the Company will not incur any damages or payment obligations as
a result of this matter. In the event the proposed settlement is
not executed, we are unable to predict the possible outcome of
this matter, if any, on our business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
On October 14, 2003, we received a letter purportedly on
behalf of the former stockholders of Avasta, Inc. relating to
the issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to
the earnout calculations pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization dated as of January 29, 2003
among Avasta Acquisition Corp., Avasta and NaviSite. On
December 11, 2003, a demand for arbitration before JAMS
(formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services)
was filed by Convergence Associates, Inc. (Convergence
Associates) on behalf of substantially all of the former
shareholders of Avasta claiming among other things breach of
contract, tortuous conduct, fraud and other wrongful conduct.
Damages sought included in excess of 782,790 shares of our
common stock. On September 30, 2004, the arbitrator issued
a decision with respect to the demand for arbitration. The
arbitrator found that we breached our obligations under the
Agreement and ordered us to issue to the former Avasta
shareholders, or their designee, an aggregate of
321,880 shares of our common stock. In addition, the
arbitrator determined that, as the prevailing party, Convergence
Associates is entitled to recover from us its reasonable
attorneys fees, costs and disbursements. On
October 11, 2004, Convergence Associates submitted its
application for reasonable attorneys fees, costs and
disbursements in the range of approximately $750,957 to
$957,000. We filed an objection to Convergence Associates
proposed fees on October 25, 2004. Convergence Associates
responded to our objection on November 2, 2004.
Prior to the arbitrator issuing its final decision with respect
to the amount of attorneys fees, costs and disbursements
to which Convergence Associates was entitled, on
February 4, 2005, we entered into a Settlement Agreement
and Mutual Release (the Settlement Agreement) dated
January 13, 2005 with Atlantic Investors, LLC
(Atlantic), Arthur Becker, Andrew Ruhan and Gabriel
Ruhan (collectively, the Atlantic Parties) and
Convergence Associates, as agent for substantially all of the
former Avasta
19
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement,
we agreed to issue an aggregate of 521,880 shares of common
stock to the former Avasta shareholders and to the attorneys
representing the former Avasta shareholders (collectively, the
Stock) and to pay $175,000 to Convergence Associates
on behalf of such former Avasta shareholders. In consideration
for the issuance of the Stock, Convergence Associates, the
former Avasta shareholders and we mutually released each other
from all claims related to the arbitration proceeding, the
decision of the arbitrator and any other claim that we are
required to pay the attorneys fees, costs or disbursements
of the attorneys for the former Avasta shareholders. As of
January 31, 2005, the Company has recorded the value of the
521,880 shares to be issued as equity on its Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accordingly, with respect to the
521,880 shares and $175,000, the Company recorded a
$1.6 million charge during the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2004 and recorded a $0.1 million credit during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2005, when the arbitrator issued a
final decision.

Engage Bankruptcy Trustee Claim |
On September 9, 2004, Don Hoy, Craig R. Jalbert and David
St. Pierre, as trustees of and on behalf of the Engage, Inc.
creditor trust, filed suit against us in the United States
Bankruptcy Court in the District of Massachusetts. The suit
generally relates to a termination agreement, dated
March 7, 2002, we entered into with Engage, Inc. (a company
then affiliated with CMGI, Inc.), which terminated a services
agreement between us and Engage and required Engage to pay us
$3.6 million. Engage made three payments to us under the
termination agreement in the aggregate amount of
$3.4 million. On June 19, 2003, Engage and five of its
wholly owned subsidiaries filed petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. The suit generally alleges that Engage was insolvent at
the time that we entered into the termination agreement with
Engage and at the time Engage made the payments to us.
Specifically, the suit alleges that (i) the plaintiffs are
entitled to avoid and recover $1.0 million paid by Engage
to us in the year prior to June 19, 2003 as a preferential
transfer, (ii) the plaintiffs are entitled to avoid and
recover $3.4 million (which amount includes the
$1.0 million payment made prior to June 13, 2003) paid
by Engage to us as a fraudulent transfer, and (iii) our
acts and omissions relating to the termination agreement and the
payments made by Engage to us constitute unfair and deceptive
acts or practices in willful and knowing violation of Mass. Gen.
Laws ch. 93A. In addition to the foregoing amounts, the
plaintiffs are also seeking treble damages, attorneys fees
and costs under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A.
On November 19, 2004, we filed a motion to dismiss as a
matter of law certain of the claims asserted in the complaint. A
hearing before the Court was held on this motion on
February 7, 2005, at which time the Court denied the motion
on the grounds that there were material issues of facts in
dispute which precluded the Court at this time from granting a
motion to dismiss such claims as a matter of law. On
February 28, 2005, we filed an answer to the complaint,
generally denying any liability thereunder and asserted numerous
defenses. We further intend to file a complaint against certain
third-parties, seeking to hold such parties liable for any and
all obligations that we may incur as a result of the claims
asserted in the complaint. As this matter is in the initial
stage, we are not able to predict the possible outcome of this
matter and the effect, if any, on our financial condition except
that we believe we have certain meritorious defenses to the
claims asserted in the complaint which we intend to assert
vigorously.
The Company recorded $0.8 million of deferred income tax
expense during the three and six months ended January 31,
2005 as compared to no deferred income tax expense during the
comparable periods of fiscal year 2004. No income tax benefit
was recorded for the losses incurred due to a valuation
allowance recognized against deferred tax assets. The deferred
tax expense resulted from tax goodwill amortization related to
the Surebridge acquisition in June 2004. For tax purposes, the
acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
Accordingly, the acquired goodwill and intangible assets are
amortizable for tax purposes over fifteen years. For financial
statement purposes, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for
impairment
20
NAVISITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
annually. Therefore, the tax amortization of goodwill results in
a taxable temporary difference, which fits the indefinite
reversal criteria since it will not be reversed until the
goodwill is impaired or written off, and is not offset by
deductible temporary differences, such as net operating loss
carryforwards. Management is presently negotiating a final
working capital settlement with respect to the Surebridge
acquisition, which is expected to result in a reduction of
reported goodwill in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, and
a corresponding reduction in income tax expense in future
periods.

NaviSite is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, PeopleSoft
Distributor and Silver Services Partner, and a Siebel Reseller
Partner. We support a broad portfolio of outsourced application
services including financial management, supply chain
management, human resources management and customer relationship
management. We provide these services to a range of vertical
industries through our direct sales force and channel
relationships. The vertical industries we target include
finance, healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, and
communications and media.
Our application support and software on demand services are
facilitated by our proprietary NaviView collaborative
application management platform. This platform enables us to
provide highly efficient, effective and customized management of
enterprise applications and information technology. Comprised of
a suite of third-party and proprietary products, NaviView
provides tools designed specifically to meet the needs of
customers who outsource or want to provide on-demand application
services.
We currently operate 13 data centers in the United States and
one data center in the United Kingdom. We believe that our data
centers and infrastructure have the capacity necessary to expand
our business for the foreseeable future. Our services combine
our developed infrastructure with established processes and
procedures for delivering managed IT services. Our high
availability infrastructure, high performance
22
monitoring systems, and proactive and collaborative problem
resolution systems are designed to identify and address
potentially crippling problems before they are able to disrupt
our customers operations.
We currently service approximately 1,100 customers, including
approximately 115 customers through our sales channel
relationships. Our customers typically enter into service
agreements for a term of one to three years, which provide for
monthly payment installments, providing us with a base of
recurring revenue. Our revenue increases by adding new customers
or additional services to existing customers. Our overall base
of recurring revenue is affected by new customers, renewals and
terminations of agreements with existing customers.
A large portion of the costs to operate our data centers, such
as rent, product development and general and administrative
expenses, does not depend strictly on the number of customers or
the amount of services we provide. As we add new customers or
new services to existing customers, we generally incur limited
additional expenses relating to telecommunications, utilities,
hardware and software costs, and payroll expenses. We have
substantial capacity to add customers to our data centers. Our
relatively fixed cost base, sufficient capacity for expansion
and limited incremental variable costs provide us with the
opportunity to grow profitably. However, these same fixed costs
present us with the risk that we may incur losses if we are
unable to generate sufficient revenue.
In recent years, we have grown through acquisitions of new
businesses and have restructured our operations. Specifically,
in December 2002, we completed a common control merger with
CBTM; in February 2003, we acquired Avasta; in April 2003, we
acquired Conxion; in May 2003, we acquired assets of Interliant;
in August 2003 and April 2004, we completed a common control
merger with certain subsidiaries of CBT; and in June 2004, we
acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
Surebridge. We expect to make additional acquisitions to take
advantage of our available capacity, which will have significant
effects on our financial results in the future.
The audit report on our fiscal year 2004 consolidated financial
statements from KPMG LLP, our independent registered public
accounting firm, contains KPMGs opinion that our recurring
losses from operations since inception and accumulated deficit,
as well as other factors, raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. While we cannot assure
you that we will continue as a going concern, we believe that we
have developed and are implementing an operational plan that
aligns our cost structure with our projected revenue growth.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended January 31,
2005 and 2004
Revenue
We derive our revenue from managed IT services. The Company
offers a full range of services including design,
implementation, optimization, upgrade, application development,
fully hosted and remote application management, managed
services, content delivery, colocation, and Software as a
Service enablement. Substantially all revenue is generated from
customers in the United States.
Total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2005
increased 27.1% to approximately $28.4 million from
approximately $22.3 million for the three months ended
January 31, 2004. The overall growth in revenue was mainly
due to the revenue resulting from our fiscal year 2004
acquisition of Surebridge which contributed approximately
$10.2 million in revenue during the three months ended
January 31, 2005. The increased revenue during the second
fiscal quarter of 2005 was partially offset by net lost customer
revenue of approximately $4.1 million. Revenue from related
parties during the three months ended January 31, 2005
totaled $35,000, while there was no related party revenue during
the three months ended January 31, 2004.
Total revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2005
increased 25.0% to approximately $57.3 million from
approximately $45.8 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2004. The overall growth in revenue
24
was mainly due to the revenue resulting from our fiscal year
2004 acquisition of Surebridge which contributed approximately
$20.4 million in revenue during the six months ended
January 31, 2005. The increased revenue during the first
half of fiscal year 2005 was partially offset by net lost
customer revenue of approximately $8.9 million. Revenue
from related parties during the six months ended
January 31, 2005 totaled $68,000, while there was no
related party revenue during the six months ended
January 31, 2004.
Gross Profit
Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and benefits for
operations personnel, bandwidth fees and related Internet
connectivity charges, equipment costs and related depreciation
and costs to run our data centers, such as rent and utilities.
Gross profit of $7.7 million for the three months ended
January 31, 2005 increased approximately $2.1 million,
or 38.4%, from a gross profit of approximately $5.6 million
for the three months ended January 31, 2004. Gross profit
for the second fiscal quarter of 2005 represented 27.2% of total
revenue, as compared to 24.9% of total revenue for the second
fiscal quarter of 2004. Total cost of revenue increased
approximately 23.3% to $20.7 million during the second
fiscal quarter of 2005 from approximately $16.8 million
during the second fiscal quarter of 2004. The increase in cost
of revenue of $3.9 million resulted primarily from the
costs associated with the increased revenue and an increase in
amortization expense for intangible assets resulting from the
2004 Surebridge acquisition, partially offset by cost reductions
related to facility rent, utilities, equipment rental, hardware
maintenance, and bandwidth. Total cost of revenue was 72.8% of
total revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2005 as compared
to 75.1% of total revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2004.
Gross profit of $13.8 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2005 increased approximately $3.3 million,
or 31.5%, from a gross profit of approximately
$10.5 million for the six months ended January 31,
2004. Gross profit for the first half of fiscal year 2005
represented 24.1% of total revenue, as compared to 22.9% of
total revenue for the first half of fiscal year 2004. Total cost
of revenue increased approximately 23.1% to $43.5 million
during the first half of fiscal year 2005 from approximately
$35.3 million during the first half of fiscal year 2004.
The increase in cost of revenue of $8.2 million resulted
primarily from the costs associated with the increased revenue
and an increase in amortization expense for intangible assets
resulting from the 2004 Surebridge acquisition, partially offset
by cost reductions related to facility rent, utilities,
equipment rental, bandwidth and depreciation expense. Total cost
of revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2005
and 2004 includes impairment, restructuring and other charges
totaling $34,000 and $0.6 million, respectively. Total cost
of revenue was 75.9% of total revenue for the first half of
fiscal year 2005 as compared to 77.1% of total revenue for the
first half of fiscal year 2004.
Cost of Revenue Impairment, Restructuring and
Other
During the first half of fiscal year 2004, we recorded a
$0.6 million lease abandonment charge related to our data
center space located at Westwood Center, Vienna, VA as a
component of total cost of revenue. During the same period of
fiscal year 2005, we recorded an additional $34,000 lease
abandonment charge related to our data center space located at
Westwood Center, Vienna, VA as a component of total cost of
revenue.
Operating Expenses
Product Development. Product development expense consists
primarily of salaries and related costs.
Product development expense decreased 88.1% to approximately
$37,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2005 from
approximately $312,000 during the three months ended
January 31, 2004 and represented approximately 0.1% and
1.4% of total revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2005 and
2004, respectively. The decrease in product development expense
of approximately $275,000 is primarily related to decreased
salary expense resulting from a decreased headcount.
25
Product development expense decreased 66.1% to approximately
$224,000 during the six months ended January 31, 2005 from
approximately $660,000 during the six months ended
January 31, 2004 and represented approximately 0.4% and
1.4% of total revenue for the first half of fiscal years 2005
and 2004, respectively. The decrease in product development
expense of approximately $436,000 is primarily related to
decreased salary expense resulting from a decreased headcount.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense
consists primarily of salaries and related benefits, commissions
and marketing expenses such as advertising, product literature,
trade show, and marketing and direct mail programs.
Selling and marketing expense increased 67.9% to approximately
$3.2 million, or 11.3% of total revenue, during the three
months ended January 31, 2005 from approximately
$1.9 million, or 8.5% of total revenue, during the three
months ended January 31, 2004. The increase of
approximately $1.3 million resulted primarily from
increased salary expense and related costs, sales commissions
and travel, primarily due to an increased headcount of direct
selling personnel.
Selling and marketing expense increased 64.3% to approximately
$6.4 million, or 11.1% of total revenue, during the six
months ended January 31, 2005 from approximately
$3.9 million, or 8.5% of total revenue, during the six
months ended January 31, 2004. The increase of
approximately $2.5 million resulted primarily from
increased salary expense and related costs, sales commissions
and travel, primarily due to an increased headcount of direct
selling personnel.
General and Administrative. General and administrative
expense includes the costs of financial, human resources, IT and
administrative personnel, professional services, bad debt and
corporate overhead.
General and administrative expense increased 12.8% to
approximately $6.0 million, or 21.0% of total revenue,
during the three months ended January 31, 2005 from
approximately $5.3 million, or 23.7% of total revenue,
during the three months ended January 31, 2004. The
increase of approximately $0.7 million was primarily the
result of increased salary expense resulting from an increased
headcount, as well as increases in bad debt expense and bank
charges related to our financing agreement with Silicon Valley
Bank, partially offset by decreases in facility rent, facility
moving costs, depreciation and litigation expense.
General and administrative expense increased 21.1% to
approximately $12.4 million, or 21.7% of total revenue,
during the six months ended January 31, 2005 from
approximately $10.2 million, or 22.4% of total revenue,
during the six months ended January 31, 2004. The increase
of approximately $2.2 million was primarily the result of
increased salary expense resulting from an increased headcount,
as well as increases in severance, bad debt expense and bank
charges related to our financing agreement with Silicon Valley
Bank, partially offset by decreases in facility rent, facility
moving costs, depreciation and litigation expense.
Operating Expenses Impairment, Restructuring and
Other
Costs associated with the abandonment of leased facilities and
the impairment of property and equipment included in impairment,
restructuring and other expense within operating expenses were
approximately $0.5 million during the three months ended
January 31, 2005, as compared to approximately
$0.9 million during the three months ended January 31,
2004. The $0.5 million charge during the second fiscal
quarter of 2005 related to revised assumptions associated with
our impaired facilities. The $0.9 million charge recorded
during the second fiscal quarter of 2004 related to the
abandonment of administrative office space.
Costs associated with the abandonment of leased facilities and
the impairment of property and equipment included in impairment,
restructuring and other expense within operating expenses were
approximately $1.5 million during the six months ended
January 31, 2005, as compared to approximately
$1.4 million during the six months ended January 31,
2004. The $1.5 million charge during the first half of
fiscal year 2005 related to revised assumptions associated with
our impaired facilities, the abandonment of an administrative
facility and an impairment charge for property and equipment,
consisting primarily of leasehold improvements, relating to the
same location. The $1.4 million charge recorded during the
first half of fiscal year 2004 related to the abandonment of
administrative office space.
26
Interest Income
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2005,
interest income decreased 54.5% and 71.1%, respectively, from
the comparable prior periods to approximately $15,000 and
$28,000, respectively. The decreases were due primarily to the
reduced levels of average cash on hand.
Interest Expense
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2005,
interest expense increased 187.6% and 199.1%, respectively, from
the comparable prior periods. The increases from the comparative
periods are primarily related to the addition of the Surebridge
notes.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded $0.8 million of deferred income tax
expense during the three and six months ended January 31,
2005 as compared to no deferred income tax expense during the
comparable periods of fiscal year 2004. No income tax benefit
was recorded for the losses incurred due to a valuation
allowance recognized against deferred tax assets. The deferred
tax expense resulted from tax goodwill amortization related to
the Surebridge acquisition in June 2004. For tax purposes, the
acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
Accordingly, the acquired goodwill and intangible assets are
amortizable for tax purposes over fifteen years. For financial
statement purposes, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for
impairment annually. Therefore, the tax amortization of goodwill
results in a taxable temporary difference, which fits the
indefinite reversal criteria since it will not be reversed until
the goodwill is impaired or written off, and is not offset by
deductible temporary differences, such as net operating loss
carryforwards. Management is presently negotiating a final
working capital settlement with respect to the Surebridge
acquisition, which is expected to result in a reduction of
reported goodwill in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, and
a corresponding reduction in income tax expense in future
periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2005, our principal sources of liquidity
included cash and cash equivalents and our financing agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank. We had a working capital deficit of
$36.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of
$1.5 million at January 31, 2005, as compared to a
working capital deficit of $36.7 million, including cash
and cash equivalents of $3.2 million, at July 31, 2004.
The total net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six
months ended January 31, 2005 was a decrease of
$1.7 million. The primary uses of cash during the six
months ended January 31, 2005 included $2.1 million
for purchases of property and equipment and approximately
$2.0 million in repayments on notes payable and capital
lease obligations. Our primary sources of cash during the six
months ended January 31, 2005 included $1.5 million
from operating activities, a $0.2 million decrease in
restricted cash and $0.7 million in proceeds from a note
payable. Net cash provided by operating activities of
$1.5 million during the six months ended January 31,
2005, resulted primarily from funding our $11.2 million net
loss, offset by $1.6 million of net changes in operating
assets and liabilities and non cash charges of approximately
$11.1 million. At January 31, 2005, we had an
accumulated deficit of $451.1 million, and have reported
losses from operations since incorporation. At July 31,
2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $439.9 million.
Our accounts receivable financing line with Silicon Valley Bank
allows for maximum borrowing of $20.4 million and expires
on April 29, 2006. On January 31, 2005, we had
an outstanding balance under the amended agreement of
$20.4 million. Borrowings are based on monthly recurring
revenue. We are required to prepare and deliver a written
request for an advance of up to three times the value of total
recurring monthly revenue, calculated to be monthly revenue
(including revenue from The New York State Department of Labor)
less professional services revenue. SVB may then provide an
advance of 85% of such value (or such other percentage as the
bank may determine). The interest rate under the amended
agreement is variable and is currently calculated at the
banks published prime rate plus 4.0%.
Following the completion of certain equity or debt financings,
and provided we continue to meet certain ratios, the interest
rate shall be reduced to the banks prime rate plus 1.0%.
In no event, however, will the banks prime rate be less
than 4.25%. The
27
accounts receivable financing line at January 31, 2005 and
July 31, 2004 is reported net of the remaining value
ascribed to the related warrants of $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively.
At January 31, 2005, the Company had $1.7 million in
outstanding standby letters of credit, issued in connection with
facility and equipment lease agreements, which are 100% cash
collateralized. Cash subject to collateral requirements has been
recorded as restricted cash and is classified as non-current on
our balance sheet at January 31, 2005 and July 31,
2004.
On June 10, 2004, in connection with our acquisition of the
Surebridge business, we issued two convertible promissory notes
in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$39.3 million. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance
of the notes at the annual rate of 10%, provided that if an
event of default shall occur and be continuing, the interest
rate shall be 15%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest
shall accrue or be payable on any principal amounts repaid on or
prior to the nine-month anniversary of the issuance date of the
notes. We must repay the outstanding principal of the notes with
all interest accrued thereon, no later than June 10, 2006.
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement,
$0.8 million of the primary note is callable at any time
for a period of one year from June 10, 2004, the date of
the Surebridge acquisition closing. During the first half of
fiscal year 2005, the noteholder requested payment of
$0.8 million and the Company paid this amount on
December 31, 2004.
In addition, if we realize net proceeds in excess of
$1.0 million from certain equity or debt financings or
sales of assets, we are obligated to make payments on the notes
equal to 75% of the net proceeds.
It shall be deemed an event of default under the notes if, among
other things, we fail to pay when due any amounts under the
notes, if we fail to pay when due or experience an event of
default with respect to any debts having an outstanding
principal amount of $500,000 or more, if we are delisted from
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or if we are acquired and the
acquiring party does not expressly agree to assume the notes. In
addition, certain bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
dissolution and receivership actions would be deemed an event of
default under the notes. If an event of default under the notes
occurs, the holder shall be entitled to declare the notes
immediately due and payable in full.
The notes provide that we shall not incur any indebtedness in
excess of $20.5 million in the aggregate, unless such
indebtedness is unsecured and expressly subordinated to the
notes, is otherwise permitted under the notes, or the proceeds
are used to make payments on the notes.
Finally, the outstanding principal of and the accrued interest
on the notes are convertible into shares of NaviSite common
stock at a conversion price of $4.642 at the election of the
holder:
|
|
|
|
|
at any time following the first anniversary of the closing if
the aggregate principal outstanding under the notes at such time
is greater than or equal to $20.0 million; |
|
|
|
at any time following the 18-month anniversary of the closing if
the aggregate principal outstanding under the notes at such time
is greater than or equal to $10.0 million; |
|
|
|
at any time following the second anniversary of the
closing; and |
|
|
|
at any time following an event of default thereunder. |
We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses in the
future. We have taken several actions we believe will allow us
to continue as a going concern, including the closing and
integration of strategic acquisitions, the changes to our senior
management and bringing costs more in line with projected
revenue. We will need to find sources of additional financing in
order to remain a going concern. Potential sources include
public or private sales of equity or debt securities and the
sale of assets. We are obligated to use a significant portion of
any proceeds raised in an equity or debt financing or by the
sale of assets to make payments on the Surebridge notes,
depending on the total net proceeds received by us in the
financing (see Note 11(f)).
Our operating forecast incorporates material trends, such as our
acquisitions, reductions in workforce and closings of
facilities. Our forecast also incorporates the future cash flow
benefits expected from our continued efforts to increase
efficiencies and reduce redundancies. Nonetheless, our forecast
includes the need to raise
28
additional funds. Our cash flow estimates are based upon
attaining certain levels of sales, maintaining budgeted levels
of operating expenses, collections of accounts receivable and
maintaining our current borrowing line with Silicon Valley Bank
among other assumptions, including the improvement in the
overall macroeconomic environment. However there can be no
assurance that we will be able to meet such assumptions. Our
sales estimate includes revenue from new and existing customers,
which may not be realized, and we may be required to further
reduce expenses if budgeted sales are not attained. We may be
unsuccessful in reducing expenses in proportion to any shortfall
in projected sales and our estimate of collections of accounts
receivable may be hindered by our customers ability to
pay. In addition, we are currently involved in various pending
and potential legal proceedings. While we believe that the
allegations against us in each of these matters are without
merit, and that we have a meritorious defense in each, we are
not able to predict the final outcomes of any of these matters
and the effect, if any, on our business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows. If we are ultimately
unsuccessful in any of these matters, we could be required to
pay substantial amounts of cash to the other parties. The amount
and timing of any such payments could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment,
which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants
of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on fair values. Pro forma disclosure of fair
value information is no longer an alternative. The statement is
effective in the first interim or annual period beginning after
June 15, 2005. Adoption is to be made using either the
modified prospective method or the modified retrospective
method. The modified prospective method recognizes cost based on
the requirements for all share-based payments granted after the
effective date and for awards granted prior to the effective
date that remain unvested prior to the effective date. The
modified retrospective method includes the requirements of the
modified prospective method but also permits restatement of
financial statements based on pro forma amounts previously
recognized under SFAS No. 123. Restatement can either
be for all prior periods presented or prior interim periods of
the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company
has not yet evaluated the impact of adoption of this
pronouncement, which must be adopted in the first quarter of our
fiscal year 2006. We currently disclose the pro forma impacts of
recognizing fair value as permitted by SFAS No. 123 as
described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings
per share in the preceding caption, Stock-based
Compensation Plans.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We are obligated under various capital and operating leases for
facilities and equipment. Future minimum annual rental

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As
such, management is required to make certain estimates,
judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based
on the information available. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses for the periods presented. The significant
accounting policies which management believes are the most
critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our
reported financial results include revenue recognition,
allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment of long-lived
assets. Management reviews the estimates on a regular basis and
makes adjustments based on historical experiences, current
conditions and future expectations. The reviews are performed
regularly and adjustments are made as required by current
available information. We believe these estimates are
reasonable, but actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue consists of monthly fees for
Web site and Internet application management, hosting,
colocations and professional services. The Company also derives
revenue from the sale of software and related maintenance
contracts. Reimbursable expenses charged to clients are included
in revenue and cost of revenue. Application management, hosting
and colocation revenue (other than installation fees) is billed
and recognized over the term of the contract, generally one to
three years, based on actual usage. Payments received in advance
of providing services are deferred until the period such
services are provided. Revenue from professional services is
recognized on either a time and material basis as the services
are performed or under the percentage of completion method for
fixed price contracts. We generally sell our professional
services under contracts with terms ranging up to five years.
When current contract estimates indicate that a loss is
probable, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in
the current period. Contract losses are determined to be the
amount by which the estimated service costs of the contract
exceed the estimated revenue that will be generated by the
contract. Unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue for
services performed that have not been billed. Billings in excess
of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue until the
applicable revenue recognition criteria are met. Revenue from
the sale of software is recognized when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fees
are fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured. In instances where the Company
also provides application management and hosting services in
conjunction with the sale of software, software revenue is
deferred and recognized ratably over the expected customer
relationship period. If we determine that collection of a fee is
not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue
at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is
generally upon receipt of cash.
Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations
based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined
subsequent to our initial evaluation and at any time during the
arrangement that collectability is not reasonably assured,
revenue is recognized as cash is received. Due to the nature of
our service arrangements, we provide written notice of
termination of services, typically 10 days in advance of
disconnecting a customer. Revenue for services rendered during
this notification period is generally recognized on a cash basis
as collectability is not considered probable at the time the
services are provided.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We perform periodic
credit evaluations of our customers financial conditions
and generally do not require collateral or other security
against trade receivables. We make estimates of the
uncollectability of our accounts receivables and maintain an
allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses. We
specifically analyze accounts receivable and consider historical
bad debts, customer and industry concentrations, customer
credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our
customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts. We specifically reserve for
100% of the balance of customer accounts deemed uncollectible.
For all other customer accounts, we reserve for 20% of the
balance over 90 days old and 2% of all other customer
balances. Changes in economic conditions or the financial
viability of our customers may result in additional provisions
for doubtful accounts in excess of our current estimate.
30
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. We review our long-lived
assets, subject to amortization and depreciation, including
customer lists and property and equipment, for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Factors
we consider important that could trigger an interim impairment
review include:
|
|
|
|
|
significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
projected future operating results; |
|
|
|
significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired
assets or the strategy of our overall business; |
|
|
|
significant negative industry or economic trends; |
|
|
|
significant declines in our stock price for a sustained
period; and |
|
|
|
our market capitalization relative to net book value. |
Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to
be generated by the asset. If the assets were considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized would be measured by
the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds
their fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted
cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the
asset. Assets to be disposed of are valued at the lower of the
carrying amount or their fair value less disposal costs.
Property and equipment is primarily comprised of leasehold
improvements, computer and office equipment and software
licenses. Intangible assets consist of customer lists.
We review the valuation of our goodwill in the fourth quarter of
each fiscal year. If an event or circumstance indicates that it
is more likely than not an impairment loss has been incurred, we
review the valuation of goodwill on an interim basis. An
impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying
amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Impairment
losses are recognized in operations.
Certain Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a
number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. Forward
looking statements in this report and those made from time to
time by us through our senior management are made pursuant to
the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements concerning the
expected future revenues, earnings or financial results or
concerning project plans, performance, or development of
products and services, as well as other estimates related to
future operations are necessarily only estimates of future
results and there can be no assurance that actual results will
not materially differ from expectations. Forward-looking
statements represent managements current expectations and
are inherently uncertain. We do not undertake any obligation to
update forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks
actually occurs, our financial condition and operating results
could be materially adversely affected.
|
|
|
We have a history of losses and may never achieve or
sustain profitability and may not continue as a going
concern. |
We have never been profitable and may never become profitable.
Since our incorporation in 1998, we have experienced operating
losses and negative operating cash flows for each quarterly and
annual period. As of January 31, 2005, we had incurred
losses since our incorporation resulting in an accumulated
deficit of approximately $451.1 million. During the six
months ended January 31, 2005, we had a net loss of
approximately $11.2 million. The audit report from KPMG
LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, relating
to our fiscal year 2004 financial statements contains
KPMGs opinion that our recurring losses from operations
since inception and accumulated deficit, as well as other
factors, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. We anticipate that we will continue to incur
net losses in the future. We also have significant fixed
commitments, including with respect to real estate, bandwidth
commitments and equipment leases. As a result, we can give no
assurance that we will achieve profitability or be capable of
sustaining profitable operations. If we are unable to reach and
sustain
31
profitability, we risk depleting our working capital balances
and our business may not continue as a going concern.
|
|
|
We need to obtain additional financing, which may not be
available on favorable terms, or at all. |
As of January 31, 2005, we had approximately
$1.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and a working
capital deficit of approximately $36.2 million. Our
outstanding balance under our Silicon Valley Bank amended
accounts receivable financing agreement as of January 31,
2005 was $20.4 million. We need to raise additional capital
and such capital may not be available on favorable terms or at
all. On January 22, 2004, we filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-2 to
register shares of our common stock to issue and sell in a
public offering to raise additional funds. In the event we are
not successful in raising capital through this public offering,
we will be required to expense $0.7 million of associated
offering expenses which are presently included in Prepaid
expenses and other current assets on our January 31,
2005 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. If we do not raise
additional capital, our business may not continue as a going
concern.
Our projections for cash usage are based on a number of
assumptions, including our ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
retain customers in light of market uncertainties and our
uncertain future; |
|
|
|
collect accounts receivables in a timely manner; |
|
|
|
effectively integrate Surebridge and other recent acquisitions
and realize forecasted cash savings; and |
|
|
|
achieve other expected cash expense reductions. |
Further, our projected use of cash and business results could be
affected by continued market uncertainties, including delays or
restrictions in information technology spending by customers or
potential customers and any merger or acquisition activity.
In recent years, we have generally financed our operations with
proceeds from selling shares of our stock and borrowing funds.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, even if we
find outside funding sources, we may be required to issue
securities with greater rights than those currently possessed by
holders of our common stock. We may also be required to take
other actions that may lessen the value of our common stock or
dilute our common stockholders, including borrowing money on
terms that are not favorable to us or issuing additional equity
securities. If we experience difficulties raising money in the
future, our business and liquidity will be materially adversely
affected.
|
|
|
We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of our
recent acquisition of Surebridge. |
On June 10, 2004, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement
dated May 6, 2004, we completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Surebridge
for three million shares of our common stock and two promissory
notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$39.3 million.
The success of the acquisition depends, in part, on our ability
to realize the anticipated synergies, cost savings, and growth
and marketing opportunities from integrating the businesses of
Surebridge with the businesses of NaviSite. Our success in
realizing these benefits and the timing of this realization
depend upon the successful integration of the technology,
personnel and operations of Surebridge. The integration of two
independent companies is a complex, costly and time-consuming
process. The difficulties of combining the operations of the
companies include, among others:
|
|
|
|
|
retaining key employees; |
|
|
|
consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures; |
|
|
|
maintaining customer service levels; |
|
|
|
coordinating sales and marketing functions; |
32
|
|
|
|
|
preserving the distribution, marketing, promotion and other
important internal operations and third-party relationships of
Surebridge; |
|
|
|
minimizing the diversion of managements attention from our
current business; |
|
|
|
coordinating geographically disparate organizations and data
centers; and |
|
|
|
retaining key customers. |
There can be no assurance that the integration of Surebridge
with NaviSite will result in the realization of the full
benefits that we anticipate in a timely manner or at all.
|
|
|
The convertible promissory notes we issued in the
Surebridge acquisition may negatively affect our liquidity and
our ability to obtain additional financing and operate and
manage our business. |
On June 10, 2004, in connection with our acquisition of the
Surebridge business, we issued two convertible promissory notes
in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$39.3 million. We must repay the remaining outstanding
principal of the notes with all interest accrued thereon, no
later than June 10, 2006. On December 31, 2004,
we repaid $800,000 of the principal. In addition, if we realize
net proceeds in excess of $1.0 million from equity or debt
financings or sales of assets, we are obligated to make a
payment on the notes equal to 75% of the net proceeds.
The notes, or the prepayment obligation thereon, may adversely
affect our ability to raise or retain additional capital. If we
commit an event of default under any of the promissory notes,
which may include a default of obligations owed to other third
parties, prior to the maturity date of the promissory notes,
then the holders of the promissory notes may declare the notes
immediately due and payable, which would adversely affect our
liquidity and our ability to manage our business. Furthermore,
the promissory notes contain certain restrictive covenants,
including with respect to our ability to incur indebtedness.
|
|
|
Our common stockholders may suffer significant dilution in
the future upon the conversion of outstanding securities and the
issuance of additional securities in potential future
acquisitions. |
The outstanding principal and accrued interest on the two
Surebridge promissory notes shall be convertible into shares of
our common stock at a conversion price of $4.642, at the
election of the holder at any time following:
|
|
|
|
|
the first anniversary of the closing if the aggregate principal
outstanding under the notes at such time is greater than or
equal to $20.0 million; |
|
|
|
the 18-month anniversary of the closing if the aggregate
principal outstanding under the notes at such time is greater
than or equal to $10.0 million; |
|
|
|
the second anniversary of the closing; and |
|
|
|
an event of default thereunder. |
If the promissory notes are converted into shares of common
stock, Surebridge may obtain a significant equity interest in
NaviSite and other stockholders may experience significant and
immediate dilution. Should Surebridge elect to convert all of
the initial principal amount of its two convertible promissory
notes into shares of our common stock, Surebridge would own
approximately 11,287,000 shares of our common stock, which,
based on our capitalization as of March 4, 2005, would be
approximately 31% of our outstanding shares of common stock.
In addition, our stockholders will experience further dilution
to the extent that additional shares of our common stock are
issued in potential future acquisitions.
33
|
|
|
Our financing agreement with Silicon Valley Bank includes
various covenants and restrictions that may negatively affect
our liquidity and our ability to operate and manage our
business. |
As of January 31, 2005, we owed Silicon Valley Bank
approximately $20.4 million under our amended accounts
receivable financing agreement. The accounts receivable
financing agreement generally restricts or limits, among other
things, our ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
create or incur indebtedness; |
|
|
|
sell, or permit any lien or security interest in, any of our
assets; |
|
|
|
enter into or permit any material transaction with any of our
affiliates; |
|
|
|
merge or consolidate with any other party, or acquire all or
substantially all of the capital stock or property of another
party, unless, among other things, the other party is in the
same, or a similar line of business as us; |
|
|
|
relocate our principal executive office or add any new offices
or business locations; |
|
|
|
change our state of formation; |
|
|
|
change our legal name; |
|
|
|
make investments; |
|
|
|
pay dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem,
retire or purchase our capital stock; and |
|
|
|
make or permit any payment on subordinated debt or amend any
provision in any document relating to any subordinated debt. |
Further, the accounts receivable financing agreement requires
that we maintain EBITDA of at least $1.00 for every fiscal
quarter. The agreement defines EBITDA as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and excluding
acquisition-related costs and one-time extraordinary charges.
If we breach our accounts receivable financing agreement with
Silicon Valley Bank, which may be deemed to have occurred upon
an event of default under the promissory notes issued in the
Surebridge transaction, a default could result. A default, if
not waived, could result in, among other things, us not being
able to borrow additional amounts from Silicon Valley Bank and
all or a portion of our outstanding amounts may become due and
payable on an accelerated basis, which would adversely affect
our liquidity and our ability to manage our business. A default
under the accounts receivable financing agreement could also
result in a cross-default under the promissory notes issued in
the Surebridge transaction thereby accelerating the repayment
obligation on the notes and also allowing the holder to elect to
convert the principal and accrued interest thereon into shares
of our common stock.
|
|
|
Our limited operating history with our current operating
structure makes it difficult for us and our investors to
evaluate our past performance and future prospects. |
We have completed a number of acquisitions since December 2002,
including our June 2004 acquisition of the Surebridge business.
Until a significant period of time elapses, it will be difficult
to determine if we correctly valued these acquired businesses or
adequately anticipated all of the demands that our growth will
impose on our personnel, procedures and structures, including
our financing and reporting control systems and management
structure. Our limited operating history with our current
structure makes it very difficult for you and us to evaluate or
predict our ability to, among other things, retain customers,
generate and sustain a revenue base sufficient to meet our
operating expenses, and achieve and sustain profitability.
34
|
|
|
A significant portion of our revenue comes from one
customer and, if we lost this customer, it would have a
significant adverse impact on our business results and cash
flows. |
The New York State Department of Labor represented approximately
8% and 14% of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended
January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2004, respectively.
The New York State Department of Labor has been a long-term
customer of ours, but there can be no assurance that we will be
able to retain this customer. Further, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to maintain the same level of service to
this customer or that our revenue from this customer will not
decline or suffer a material reduction in future periods. The
New York State Department of Labor is not obligated under our
agreement to buy a minimum amount of services from us or
designate us as its sole supplier of any particular service.
This contract with The New York State Department of Labor
expires in June 2005. Further, The New York State Department of
Labor has the right to terminate this contract at any time by
providing us with 60 days notice. If we were to lose this
customer or suffer a material reduction in the revenue generated
from this customer, it would have a significant adverse impact
on our business results and cash flows.
|
|
|
Atlantic Investors may have interests that conflict with
the interests of our other stockholders and, as our majority
stockholder, can prevent new and existing investors from
influencing significant corporate decisions. |
Atlantic Investors owns approximately 60% of our outstanding
capital stock as of March 4, 2005. In addition, Atlantic
Investors holds a note in the principal amount of
$3.0 million due upon the earlier to occur of May 1,
2005, and five business days after our receipt of net proceeds
from a financing or a sale of assets of at least
$13.0 million, after satisfying the mandatory prepayment
obligations under the promissory notes issued to Surebridge. As
of January 31, 2005, the Company had recorded accrued
interest on this note in the amount of $0.5 million.
Atlantic Investors has the power, acting alone, to elect a
majority of our Board of Directors and has the ability to
control our management and affairs and determine the outcome of
any corporate action requiring stockholder approval, regardless
of how our other stockholders may vote, including the election
of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, and any other significant
corporate transaction. Under Delaware law, Atlantic Investors is
able to exercise its voting power by written consent, without
convening a meeting of the stockholders, which means that
Atlantic Investors could effect a sale or merger of us without
the consent of our other stockholders. Atlantic Investors
ownership of a majority of our outstanding common stock may have
the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in
control of us or discouraging a potential acquiror from
attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
|
|
|
Members of our management group also have significant
interests in Atlantic Investors, which may create conflicts of
interest. |
Some of the members of our management group also serve as
members of the management group of Atlantic Investors and its
affiliates. Specifically, Andrew Ruhan, our Chairman of the
Board, holds a 10% equity interest in Unicorn Worldwide Holdings
Limited, a managing member of Atlantic Investors. Arthur Becker,
our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the managing
member of Madison Technology LLC, a managing member of Atlantic
Investors. As a result, these NaviSite officers and directors
may face potential conflicts of interest with each other and
with our stockholders. They may be presented with situations in
their capacity as our officers or directors that conflict with
their fiduciary obligations to Atlantic Investors, which in turn
may have interests that conflict with the interests of our other
stockholders.
|
|
|
Acquisitions may result in disruptions to our business or
distractions of our management due to difficulties in
integrating acquired personnel and operations, and these
integrations may not proceed as planned. |
Since December 2002, we have acquired CBTM (accounted for as an
as if pooling), Avasta, Conxion, selected assets of
Interliant, all of the shares of ten wholly-owned subsidiaries
of CBT (accounted for as an as if pooling) and
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Surebridge.
We intend to continue to expand
35
our business through the acquisition of companies, technologies,
products and services. Acquisitions involve a number of special
problems and risks, including:
|
|
|
|
|
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, products,
services, operations and personnel with the existing businesses; |
|
|
|
difficulty maintaining relationships with important third
parties, including those relating to marketing alliances and
providing preferred partner status and favorable pricing; |
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention in connection with both
negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the businesses; |
|
|
|
strain on managerial and operational resources as management
tries to oversee larger operations; |
|
|
|
inability to retain and motivate management and other key
personnel of the acquired businesses; |
|
|
|
exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; |
|
|
|
potential costly and time-consuming litigation, including
stockholder lawsuits; |
|
|
|
potential issuance of securities in connection with an
acquisition with rights that are superior to the rights of
holders of our common stock, or which may have a dilutive effect
on our common stockholders; |
|
|
|
the need to incur additional debt or use cash; and |
|
|
|
the requirement to record potentially significant additional
future operating costs for the amortization of intangible assets. |
As a result of these problems and risks, businesses we acquire
may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies
that we anticipated, and acquired products, services or
technologies might not perform as we expected. As a result, we
may incur higher costs and realize lower revenue than we had
anticipated. We may not be able to successfully address these
problems and we cannot assure you that the acquisitions will be
successfully identified and completed or that, if acquisitions
are completed, the acquired businesses, products, services or
technologies will generate sufficient revenue to offset the
associated costs or other harmful effects on our business.
|
|
|
A failure to meet customer specifications or expectations
could result in lost revenue, increased expenses, negative
publicity and claims for damages. |
Our agreements with customers require us to meet specified
service levels for the services we provide. In addition, our
customers may have additional expectations about our services.
Any failure to meet customers specifications or
expectations could result in:
|
|
|
|
|
delayed or lost revenue; |
|
|
|
requirements to provide additional services to a customer at
reduced charges or no charge; |
|
|
|
negative publicity about us, which could adversely affect our
ability to attract or retain customers; and |
|
|
|
claims by customers for substantial damages against us,
regardless of our responsibility for such failure, which may not
be covered by insurance policies and which may not be limited by
contractual terms of our engagement. |
|
|
|
Our ability to successfully market our services could be
substantially impaired if we are unable to deploy new
infrastructure systems and applications or if new infrastructure
systems and applications deployed by us prove to be unreliable,
defective or incompatible. |
We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the
successful development, introduction or marketing of hosting and
application management services in the future. If any newly
introduced infrastructure systems and applications suffer from
reliability, quality or compatibility problems, market
acceptance of
36
our services could be greatly hindered and our ability to
attract new customers could be significantly reduced. We cannot
assure you that new applications deployed by us will be free
from any reliability, quality or compatibility problems. If we
incur increased costs or are unable, for technical or other
reasons, to host and manage new infrastructure systems and
applications or enhancements of existing applications, our
ability to successfully market our services could be
substantially limited.
|
|
|
Any interruptions in, or degradation of, our private
transit Internet connections could result in the loss of
customers or hinder our ability to attract new customers. |
Our customers rely on our ability to move their digital content
as efficiently as possible to the people accessing their Web
sites and infrastructure systems and applications. We utilize
our direct private transit Internet connections to major network
providers, such as Level 3, Internap, WilTel and XO
Communications, as a means of avoiding congestion and resulting
performance degradation at public Internet exchange points. We
rely on these telecommunications network suppliers to maintain
the operational integrity of their networks so that our private
transit Internet connections operate effectively. If our private
transit Internet connections are interrupted or degraded, we may
face claims by, or lose, customers, and our reputation in the
industry may be harmed, which may cause demand for our services
to decline.
|
|
|
If we are unable to maintain existing and develop
additional relationships with software vendors, the sales and
marketing of our service offerings may be unsuccessful. |
We believe that to penetrate the market for hosting and
application management services we must maintain existing and
develop additional relationships with industry-leading software
vendors. We license or lease select software applications from
software vendors, including IBM, Microsoft, Micromuse and
Oracle. Our relationships with Microsoft and PeopleSoft are
critical to the operations and success of our recently acquired
business from Surebridge. The loss of our ability to continually
obtain, utilize or depend on any of these applications or
relationships could substantially weaken our ability to provide
services to our customers or require us to obtain substitute
software applications that may be of lower quality or
performance standards or at greater cost. In addition, because
we generally license applications on a non-exclusive basis, our
competitors may license and utilize the same software
applications. In fact, many of the companies with which we have
strategic relationships currently have, or could enter into,
similar license agreements with our competitors or prospective
competitors. We cannot assure you that software applications
will continue to be available to us from software vendors on
commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to identify and
license software applications that meet our targeted criteria
for new application introductions, we may have to discontinue or
delay introduction of services relating to these applications.
|
|
|
Our network infrastructure could fail, which would impair
our ability to provide guaranteed levels of service and could
result in significant operating losses. |
To provide our customers with guaranteed levels of service, we
must operate our network infrastructure 24 hours a day,
seven days a week without interruption. We must, therefore,
protect our network infrastructure, equipment and customer files
against damage from human error, natural disasters, unexpected
equipment failure, power loss or telecommunications failures,
terrorism, sabotage or other intentional acts of vandalism. Even
if we take precautions, the occurrence of a natural disaster,
equipment failure or other unanticipated problem at one or more
of our data centers could result in interruptions in the
services we provide to our customers. We cannot assure you that
our disaster recovery plan will address all, or even most, of
the problems we may encounter in the event of a disaster or
other unanticipated problem. We have experienced service
interruptions in the past, and any future service interruptions
could:
|
|
|
|
|
require us to spend substantial amounts of money to replace
equipment or facilities; |
|
|
|
entitle customers to claim service credits or seek damages for
losses under our service level guarantees; |
|
|
|
cause customers to seek alternate providers; or |
|
|
|
impede our ability to attract new customers, retain current
customers or enter into additional strategic relationships. |
37
|
|
|
Our dependence on third parties increases the risk that we
will not be able to meet our customers needs for software,
systems and services on a timely or cost-effective basis, which
could result in the loss of customers. |
Our services and infrastructure rely on products and services of
third-party providers. We purchase key components of our
infrastructure, including networking equipment, from a limited
number of suppliers, such as IBM, Cisco Systems and F5 Networks.
Our recently acquired business from Surebridge relies on
products and services of Microsoft and PeopleSoft. There can be
no assurance that we will not experience operational problems
attributable to the installation, implementation, integration,
performance, features or functionality of third-party software,
systems and services. We cannot assure you that we will have the
necessary hardware or parts on hand or that our suppliers will
be able to provide them in a timely manner in the event of
equipment failure. Our ability to obtain and continue to
maintain the necessary hardware or parts on a timely basis could
result in sustained equipment failure and a loss of revenue due
to customer loss or claims for service credits under our service
level guarantees.
|
|
|
We could be subject to increased operating costs, as well
as claims, litigation or other potential liability, in
connection with risks associated with Internet security and the
security of our systems. |
A significant barrier to the growth of e-commerce and
communications over the Internet has been the need for secure
transmission of confidential information. Several of our
infrastructure systems and application services utilize
encryption and authentication technology licensed from third
parties to provide the protections necessary to ensure secure
transmission of confidential information. We also rely on
security systems designed by third parties and the personnel in
our network operations centers to secure those data centers. Any
unauthorized access, computer viruses, accidental or intentional
actions and other disruptions could result in increased
operating costs. For example, we may incur additional
significant costs to protect against these interruptions and the
threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by
such interruptions or breaches. If a third party were able to
misappropriate a consumers personal or proprietary
information, including credit card information, during the use
of an application solution provided by us, we could be subject
to claims, litigation or other potential liability.
|
|
|
Third-party infringement claims against our technology
suppliers, customers or us could result in disruptions in
service, the loss of customers or costly and time-consuming
litigation. |
We license or lease most technologies used in the infrastructure
systems and application services that we offer. Our technology
suppliers may become subject to third-party infringement or
other claims and assertions, which could result in their
inability or unwillingness to continue to license their
technologies to us. We cannot assure you that third parties will
not assert claims against us in the future or that these claims
will not be successful. Any infringement claim as to our
technologies or services, regardless of its merit, could result
in delays in service, installation or upgrades, the loss of
customers or costly and time-consuming litigation.
|
|
|
We may be subject to legal claims in connection with the
information disseminated through our network, which could divert
managements attention and require us to expend significant
financial resources. |
We may face potential direct and indirect liability for claims
of defamation, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark
infringement and other claims based on the nature and content of
the materials disseminated through our network. For example,
lawsuits may be brought against us claiming that content
distributed by some of our current or future customers may be
regulated or banned. In these and other instances, we may be
required to engage in protracted and expensive litigation that
could have the effect of diverting managements attention
from our business and require us to expend significant financial
resources. Our general liability insurance may not cover any of
these claims or may not be adequate to protect us against all
liability that may be imposed. In addition, on a limited number
of occasions in the past, businesses, organizations and
individuals have sent unsolicited commercial e-mails from
servers hosted at our facilities to a number of people,
typically to advertise products or services. This practice,
known as spamming, can lead to statutory liability
as well as complaints against service providers that enable such
activities, particularly where recipients view the materials
received as offensive. We have in the past received, and may in
the future receive, letters
38
from recipients of information transmitted by our customers
objecting to such transmission. Although we prohibit our
customers by contract from spamming, we cannot assure you that
our customers will not engage in this practice, which could
subject us to claims for damages.
|
|
|
If we fail to attract or retain key officers, management
and technical personnel, our ability to successfully execute our
business strategy or to continue to provide services and
technical support to our customers could be adversely affected
and we may not be successful in attracting new customers. |
We believe that attracting, training, retaining and motivating
technical and managerial personnel, including individuals with
significant levels of infrastructure systems and application
expertise, is a critical component of the future success of our
business. Qualified technical personnel are likely to remain a
limited resource for the foreseeable future and competition for
these personnel is intense. The departure of any of our
executive officers, particularly Arthur P. Becker, our Chief
Executive Officer and President, or core members of our sales
and marketing teams or technical service personnel, would have
negative ramifications on our customer relations and operations,
including adversely affecting the stability of our
infrastructure and our ability to provide the guaranteed service
levels our customers expect. Any officer or employee can
terminate his or her relationship with us at any time. In
addition, we do not carry life insurance on any of our
personnel. Over the past two years, we have had significant
reductions-in-force due to redundancies and restructurings
resulting from the consolidation of our acquired companies. We
have also had a number of departures of several members of
senior management. In the event future reductions or departures
of employees occur, our ability to successfully execute our
business strategy, or to continue to provide services to our
customers or attract new customers, could be adversely affected.
|
|
|
The unpredictability of our quarterly results may cause
the trading price of our common stock to fluctuate or
decline. |
Our quarterly operating results may vary significantly from
quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period as a result of a number
of factors, many of which are outside of our control and any one
of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate. The primary
factors that may affect our operating results include the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
a reduction of market demand and/or acceptance of our services; |
|
|
|
an oversupply of data center space in the industry; |
|
|
|
our ability to develop, market and introduce new services on a
timely basis; |
|
|
|
the length of the sales cycle for our services; |
|
|
|
the timing and size of sales of our services, which depends on
the budgets of our customers; |
|
|
|
downward price adjustments by our competitors; |
|
|
|
changes in the mix of services provided by our competitors; |
|
|
|
technical difficulties or system downtime affecting the Internet
or our hosting operations; |
|
|
|
our ability to meet any increased technological demands of our
customers; and |
|
|
|
the amount and timing of costs related to our marketing efforts
and service introductions. |
Due to the above factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter or
period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be
a good indicator of our future performance. Our operating
results for any particular quarter may fall short of our
expectations or those of stockholders or securities analysts. In
this event, the trading price of our common stock would likely
fall.
|
|
|
If we are unsuccessful in pending and potential litigation
matters, our financial condition may be adversely
affected. |
We are currently involved in various pending and potential legal
proceedings, including a class action lawsuit related to our
initial public offering, a claim by the trustee in the
bankruptcy of Engage, Inc. (a former
39
CMGI subsidiary), and counterclaims by Lighthouse International
in a suit in which we are the plaintiff. If we are ultimately
unsuccessful in any of these matters, we could be required to
pay substantial amounts of cash to the other parties. The amount
and timing of any such payments could adversely affect our
financial condition.
|
|
|
If the markets for outsourced information technology
infrastructure and applications, Internet commerce and Internet
communication decline, there may be insufficient demand for our
services and, as a result, our business strategy and objectives
may fail. |
The increased use of the Internet for retrieving, sharing and
transferring information among businesses and consumers is
developing, and the market for the purchase of products and
services over the Internet is still relatively new and emerging.
Our industry has experienced periods of rapid growth, followed
by a sharp decline in demand for products and services, which
related to the failure in the last few years of many companies
focused on developing Internet-related businesses. If acceptance
and growth of the Internet as a medium for commerce and
communication declines, our business strategy and objectives may
fail because there may not be sufficient market demand for our
hosting and application management services.
|
|
|
If we do not respond to rapid changes in the technology
sector, we will lose customers. |
The markets for the technology-related services we offer are
characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry
standards, frequent new service introductions, shifting
distribution channels and changing customer demands. We may not
be able to adequately adapt our services or to acquire new
services that can compete successfully. In addition, we may not
be able to establish and maintain effective distribution
channels. We risk losing customers to our competitors if we are
unable to adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace.
|
|
|
The market in which we operate is highly competitive and
is likely to consolidate, and we may lack the financial and
other resources, expertise or capability needed to capture
increased market share or maintain market share. |
We compete in the hosting and application management services
market. This market is rapidly evolving, highly competitive and
likely to be characterized by over-capacity and industry
consolidation. Our competitors may consolidate with one another
or acquire software application vendors or technology providers,
enabling them to more effectively compete with us. Many
participants in this market have suffered significantly in the
last several years. We believe that participants in this market
must grow rapidly and achieve a significant presence to compete
effectively. This consolidation could affect prices and other
competitive factors in ways that would impede our ability to
compete successfully in the hosting and application management
services market.
Further, our business is not as developed as that of many of our
competitors. Many of our competitors have substantially greater
financial, technical and market resources, greater name
recognition and more established relationships in the industry.
Many of our competitors may be able to:
|
|
|
|
|
develop and expand their network infrastructure and service
offerings more rapidly; |
|
|
|
adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements more quickly; |
|
|
|
take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more
readily; or |
|
|
|
devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their
services and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. |
We may lack the financial and other resources, expertise or
capability needed to maintain or capture increased market share
in this environment in the future. Because of these competitive
factors and due to our comparatively small size and our lack of
financial resources, we may be unable to successfully compete in
the hosting and application management services market.
40
|
|
|
The emergence and growth of a market for our hosting and
managed application services will be impaired if third parties
do not continue to develop and improve Internet
infrastructure. |
The recent growth in the use of the Internet has caused frequent
periods of performance degradation, requiring the upgrade of
routers and switches, telecommunications links and other
components forming the infrastructure of the Internet. Any
perceived degradation in the performance of the Internet as a
means to transact business and communicate could undermine the
benefits and market acceptance of our services. Consequently,
the market for our services will be impaired if improvements are
not made to the entire Internet infrastructure to alleviate
overloading and congestion.
|
|
|
Difficulties presented by international economic,
political, legal, accounting and business factors could harm our
business in international markets. |
We operate a data center in the United Kingdom and revenue from
our foreign operations accounted for approximately 5% of our
total revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2005.
We recently expanded our operations to India, which could
eventually broaden the Companys customer service support
and enable the Company to benefit from intellectual resources
and cost savings associated with off-shore application
development, support and infrastructure management. Although we
expect to focus most of our growth efforts in the United States,
we may enter into joint ventures or outsourcing agreements with
third parties, acquire complementary businesses or operations,
or establish and maintain new operations outside of the United
States. Some risks inherent in conducting business
internationally include:
|
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory, tax and political environments; |
|
|
|
longer payment cycles and problems collecting accounts
receivable; |
|
|
|
geopolitical risks such as political and economic instability
and the possibility of hostilities among countries; |
|
|
|
reduced protection of intellectual property rights; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates or imposition of
restrictive currency controls; |
|
|
|
our ability to secure and maintain the necessary physical and
telecommunications infrastructure; |
|
|
|
challenges in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
|
|
|
employment laws and practices in foreign countries; |
|
|
|
laws and regulations on content distributed over the Internet
that are more restrictive than those currently in place in the
United States; and |
|
|
|
significant changes in immigration policies or difficulties in
obtaining required immigration approvals. |
Any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our
contemplated future international operations and consequently,
our business.
|
|
|
We may become subject to burdensome government regulation
and legal uncertainties that could substantially harm our
business or expose us to unanticipated liabilities. |
It is likely that laws and regulations directly applicable to
the Internet or to hosting and managed application service
providers may be adopted. These laws may cover a variety of
issues, including user privacy and the pricing, characteristics
and quality of products and services. The adoption or
modification of laws or regulations relating to commerce over
the Internet could substantially impair the growth of our
business or expose us to unanticipated liabilities. Moreover,
the applicability of existing laws to the Internet and hosting
and managed application service providers is uncertain. These
existing laws could expose us to substantial liability if they
are found to be applicable to our business. For example, we
provide services over the Internet in many states in the United
States and elsewhere and facilitate the activities of our
customers in such jurisdictions. As a result, we may be required
to qualify to do business, be subject to taxation or be subject
to
41
other laws and regulations in these jurisdictions, even if we do
not have a physical presence, employees or property in those
states.
|
|
|
The price of our common stock has been volatile, and may
continue to experience wide fluctuations. |
Since January 1, 2004, our common stock has closed as low
as $1.41 per share and as high as $7.30 per share. The
trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to
be subject to wide fluctuations due to the risk factors
discussed in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Fluctuations in the market price of our common stock may cause
you to lose some or all of your investment. In addition, should
the market price of our common stock be below $1.00 per
share for an extended period, or if we fail to satisfy any other
Nasdaq continued listing requirement. Nasdaq may delist our
common stock, which would have an adverse effect on the trading
of our common stock. On June 10, 2002, the listing of our
common stock transferred from the Nasdaq National Market to the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market because the market price of our common
stock had failed to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq National
Markets minimum $1.00 per share continued listing
requirement. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could
materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result
in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common
stock. In addition, any such delisting could harm our ability to
raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms
acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential
loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees.
|
|
|
Anti-takeover provisions in our corporate documents may
discourage or prevent a takeover. |
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws
may have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition or
merger in which we are acquired or a transaction that changes
our Board of Directors. These provisions:
|
|
|
|
|
authorize the board to issue preferred stock without stockholder
approval; |
|
|
|
prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors; |
|
|
|
limit the persons who may call special meetings of
stockholders; and |
|
|
|
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for the
election of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted
on by stockholders at stockholder meetings. |
|
|
Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
We do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.
We do not use derivative financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments in our investment portfolio or enter into
hedging transactions. Our exposure to market risk associated
with risk-sensitive instruments entered into for purposes other
than trading purposes is not material to NaviSite. We currently
have no significant foreign operations and therefore face no
material foreign currency exchange rate risk.
|
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based
on managements evaluation (with the participation of
NaviSites principal executive officer and principal
financial officer) as of the end of the period covered by this
report, NaviSites principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have concluded that NaviSites
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act)) are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
NaviSite in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There was no change in NaviSites internal control over
financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this
report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, NaviSites internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
IPO Securities Litigation
On or about June 13, 2001, Stuart Werman and Lynn McFarlane
filed a lawsuit against us, BancBoston Robertson Stephens, an
underwriter of our initial public offering in October 1999, Joel
B. Rosen, our then chief executive officer, and Kenneth W. Hale,
our then chief financial officer. The suit was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. The suit generally alleges that the defendants violated
federal securities laws by not disclosing certain actions
allegedly taken by Robertson Stephens in connection with our
initial public offering. The suit alleges specifically that
Robertson Stephens, in exchange for the allocation to its
customers of shares of our common stock sold in our initial
public offering, solicited and received from its customers
agreements to purchase additional shares of our common stock in
the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. The suit seeks
unspecified monetary damages and certification of a plaintiff
class consisting of all persons who acquired shares of our
common stock between October 22, 1999 and December 6,
2000. Three other substantially similar lawsuits were filed
between June 15, 2001 and July 10, 2001 by Moses Mayer
(filed June 15, 2001), Barry Feldman (filed June 19,
2001), and Binh Nguyen (filed July 10, 2001). Robert E.
Eisenberg, our president at the time of the initial public
offering in 1999, also was named as a defendant in the Nguyen
lawsuit.
On or about June 21, 2001, David Federico filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York a lawsuit against us, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Hale,
Robertson Stephens and other underwriter defendants including
J.P. Morgan Chase, First Albany Companies, Inc., Bank of
America Securities, LLC, Bear Stearns & Co., Inc., B.T.
Alex. Brown, Inc., Chase Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets,
Credit Suisse First Boston Corp., Dain Rauscher, Inc., Deutsche
Bank Securities, Inc., The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.,
J.P. Morgan & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities,
Lehman Brothers, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith, Inc., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., Robert
Fleming, Inc. and Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. The suit generally
alleges that the defendants violated the anti-trust laws and the
federal securities laws by conspiring and agreeing to raise and
increase the compensation received by the underwriter defendants
by requiring those who received allocation of initial public
offering stock to agree to purchase shares of manipulated
securities in the after-market of the initial public offering at
escalating price levels designed to inflate the price of the
manipulated stock, thus artificially creating an appearance of
demand and high prices for that stock, and initial public
offering stock in general, leading to further stock offerings.
The suit also alleges that the defendants arranged for the
underwriter defendants to receive undisclosed and excessive
brokerage commissions and that, as a consequence, the
underwriter defendants successfully increased investor interest
in the manipulated initial public offering of securities and
increased the underwriter defendants individual and
collective underwritings, compensation, and revenue. The suit
further alleges that the defendants violated the federal
securities laws by issuing and selling securities pursuant to
the initial public offering without disclosing to investors that
the underwriter defendants in the offering, including the lead
underwriters, had solicited and received excessive and
undisclosed commissions from certain investors. The suit seeks
unspecified monetary damages and certification of a plaintiff
class consisting of all persons who acquired shares of our
common stock between October 22, 1999 and June 12,
2001.
Those five cases, along with lawsuits naming more than 300 other
issuers and over 50 investment banks which have been sued in
substantially similar lawsuits, have been assigned to the
Honorable Shira A. Scheindlin (the Court) for all
pretrial purposes (the IPO Securities Litigation).
On September 6, 2001, the Court entered an order
consolidating the five individual cases involving us and
designating Werman v. NaviSite, Inc., et al., Civil
Action No. 01-CV-5374 as the lead case. A consolidated, amended
complaint was filed thereafter on April 19, 2002 (the
Class Action Litigation) on behalf of
plaintiffs Arvid Brandstrom and Tony Tse against underwriter
defendants Robertson Stephens (as successor-in-interest to
BancBoston), BancBoston, J.P. Morgan (as
successor-in-interest to Hambrecht & Quist),
Hambrecht & Quist and First Albany and against us and
Messrs. Rosen, Hale and Eisenberg (collectively, the
NaviSite Defendants). Plaintiffs uniformly allege
that all defendants, including the NaviSite Defendants, violated
the federal securities laws (i.e., Sections 11 and 15 of
the Securities Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act
43
and Rule 10b-5) by issuing and selling our common stock
pursuant to the October 22, 1999 initial public offering,
without disclosing to investors that some of the underwriters of
the offering, including the lead underwriters, had solicited and
received extensive and undisclosed agreements from certain
investors to purchase aftermarket shares at pre-arranged,
escalating prices and also to receive additional commissions
and/or other compensation from those investors. At this time,
plaintiffs have not specified the amount of damages they are
seeking in the Class Action Litigation.
Between July and September 2002, the parties to the IPO
Securities Litigation briefed motions to dismiss filed by the
underwriter defendants and the issuer defendants, including
NaviSite. On November 1, 2002, the Court held oral argument
on the motions to dismiss. The plaintiffs have since agreed to
dismiss the claims against Messrs. Rosen, Hale and
Eisenberg without prejudice, in return for their agreement to
toll any statute of limitations applicable to those claims. By
stipulation entered by the Court on November 18, 2002,
Messrs. Rosen, Hale and Eisenberg were dismissed without
prejudice from the Class Action Litigation. On
February 19, 2003, an opinion and order was issued on
defendants motion to dismiss the IPO Securities
Litigation, essentially denying the motions to dismiss of all 55
underwriter defendants and of 185 of the 301 issuer defendants,
including NaviSite.
On June 30, 2003, our Board of Directors considered and
authorized us to negotiate a settlement of the pending
Class Action Litigation substantially consistent with a
memorandum of understanding negotiated among class plaintiffs,
the issuer defendants and the insurers for such issuer
defendants. Among other contingencies, any such settlement would
be subject to approval by the Court. Plaintiffs filed on
June 14, 2004, a motion for preliminary approval of the
Stipulation And Agreement Of Settlement With Defendant Issuers
And Individuals (the Preliminary Approval Motion).
On February 15, 2005, the Court granted the Preliminary
Approval Motion in a written opinion which detailed the terms of
the settlement stipulation, its accompanying documents and
schedules, the proposed class notice and, with a modification to
the bar order to be entered, the proposed settlement order and
judgment (the Preliminary Approval Order). A further
conference is scheduled for March 18, 2005, at which time
the Court is expected to make final determinations regarding the
form, substance and program for notifying the settlement class
and to schedule a Fed. R. Civ. P 23 fairness hearing concerning
the settlement. If completed and then approved by the Court, the
settlement is expected to be covered by our existing insurance
policies and is not expected to have a material effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
We believe that the allegations against us are without merit
and, if the settlement is not finalized, we intend to vigorously
defend against the plaintiffs claims. Due to the inherent
uncertainty of litigation, we are not able to predict the
possible outcome of the suits and their ultimate effect, if any,
on our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.
Joseph Cloonan
On or about September 27, 2002, we received a demand for a
wage payment of $850,000 from our former Procurement Director,
Joseph Cloonan. We rejected the demand, alleging that
Mr. Cloonans claim is based, among other things, on a
potentially fraudulent contract. Mr. Cloonan also claimed
$40,300 for allegedly unpaid accrued vacation and bonuses and
that he may be statutorily entitled to treble damages and legal
fees. On October 11, 2002, NaviSite filed a civil complaint
with the Massachusetts Superior Court, Essex County, seeking a
declaratory judgment and asserting claims against
Mr. Cloonan for civil fraud, misrepresentation, unjust
enrichment and breach of duty of loyalty. Mr. Cloonan
asserted counter claims against NaviSite seeking the payments
set forth in his September 2002 demand. The discovery phase of
the case has concluded and in February 2005, the Company and
Mr. Cloonan filed motions for summary judgment with the
Court. We believe Mr. Cloonans allegations are
without merit and intend to vigorously defend them. Due to the
inherent uncertainty of litigation, we are not able to predict
the possible outcome of this matter and the effect, if any, on
our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
44
Lighthouse International
On October 28, 2002, CBTM, one of our subsidiaries, filed a
complaint in United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against Lighthouse International, alleging
six causes of action for copyright infringement, breach of
contract, account stated, unjust enrichment, unfair competition,
and misappropriation and/or conversion. The total claimed
damages are in the amount of approximately $1.9 million. On
or about January 16, 2003, Lighthouse filed and served its
answer and counterclaimed against CBTM claiming approximately
$3.1 million in damages and $5.0 million in punitive
relief.
On June 17, 2003, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York heard oral argument on
Lighthouses Motion for an Order Compelling the Debtor
(AppliedTheory) to Assume or Reject an Agreement, filed in
response to CBTMs complaint, and the objections to
Lighthouses motion filed by CBTM and AppliedTheory.
Lighthouse made this motion on the basis that it never received
notice of CBTM assuming the AppliedTheory contract for the
LighthouseLink Web site. The Bankruptcy Court declined to grant
Lighthouses motion, and instead ordered that an
evidentiary hearing be conducted to determine whether Lighthouse
received appropriate notice of the proposed assignment of the
contract by AppliedTheory to CBTM. The Bankruptcy Court ordered
that the parties first conduct discovery, and upon completion of
discovery, the Bankruptcy Court would schedule an evidentiary
hearing on the issues of due process and notice.
As to the U.S. District Court matter, the exchange of
written discovery and the majority of depositions of witnesses
have been completed. On June 15, 2004, District Court Judge
Pauley determined that both parties could proceed with their
respective summary judgment motions. All motion papers were to
be submitted by September 20, 2004, with oral argument
scheduled for October 15, 2004.
On August 4, 2004, however, upon the application of CBTM,
Bankruptcy Court Judge Gerber preliminarily enjoined Lighthouse
from asserting claims or counterclaims against CBTM relating to
the Lighthouse contract or any assets acquired by CBTM from
AppliedTheory pursuant to the sale order, except for the purpose
and to the extent necessary to setoff claims brought by CBTM
against Lighthouse relating to the Lighthouse contract. As a
result, Lighthouse is limited to seeking only those pre- and
post- bankruptcy counterclaims that may constitute as set-offs
against the claims asserted by CBTM. Subsequent to issuing the
injunction order, Bankruptcy Judge Gerber held several
conferences urging the parties to submit their dispute to
court-ordered mediation. In conjunction with the Bankruptcy
Courts request, District Court Judge Pauley ordered a stay
of all remaining expert discovery and motion procedures pending
the participation and completion of mediation as requested by
Bankruptcy Court Judge Gerber. The matter was then transferred
to mediation by order of the Courts.
In September 2004, the parties selected Harvey A.
Stricken, Esq. as mediator to the dispute. On
October 6, 2004, the mediation was held with no particular
outcome. At the suggestion of the mediator, the parties
participated in a second mediation session on January 12,
2005, during which the parties successfully reached an
understanding, subject to final documentation, of the terms of a
proposed settlement and compromise of all disputes between them.
Assuming the proposed settlement, which is in the process of
being reduced to writing, is fully executed and becomes final,
the Company will not incur any damages or payment obligations as
a result of this matter. In the event the proposed settlement is
not executed, we are unable to predict the possible outcome of
this matter, if any, on our business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
Avasta Earnout
On October 14, 2003, we received a letter purportedly on
behalf of the former stockholders of Avasta, Inc. relating to
the issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to
the earnout calculations pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization dated as of January 29, 2003
among Avasta Acquisition Corp., Avasta and NaviSite. On
December 11, 2003, a demand for arbitration before JAMS
(formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services)
was filed by Convergence Associates, Inc. (Convergence
Associates) on behalf of substantially all of the former
shareholders of Avasta claiming among other things breach of
contract, tortuous conduct, fraud and other wrongful conduct.
45
Damages sought included in excess of 782,790 shares of our
common stock. On September 30, 2004, the arbitrator issued
a decision with respect to the demand for arbitration. The
arbitrator found that we breached our obligations under the
Agreement and ordered us to issue to the former Avasta
shareholders, or their designee, an aggregate of
321,880 shares of our common stock. In addition, the
arbitrator determined that, as the prevailing party, Convergence
Associates is entitled to recover from us its reasonable
attorneys fees, costs and disbursements. On
October 11, 2004, Convergence Associates submitted its
application for reasonable attorneys fees, costs and
disbursements in the range of approximately $750,957 to
$957,000. We filed an objection to Convergence Associates
proposed fees on October 25, 2004. Convergence Associates
responded to our objection on November 2, 2004.
Prior to the arbitrator issuing its final decision with respect
to the amount of attorneys fees, costs and disbursements
to which Convergence Associates was entitled, on
February 4, 2005, we entered into a Settlement Agreement
and Mutual Release (the Settlement Agreement) dated
January 13, 2005 with Atlantic Investors, LLC
(Atlantic), Arthur Becker, Andrew Ruhan and Gabriel
Ruhan (collectively, the Atlantic Parties) and
Convergence Associates, as agent for substantially all of the
former Avasta shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the
Settlement Agreement, we agreed to issue an aggregate of
521,880 shares of common stock to the former Avasta
shareholders and to the attorneys representing the former Avasta
shareholders (collectively, the Stock) and to pay
$175,000 to Convergence Associates on behalf of such former
Avasta shareholders. In consideration for the issuance of the
Stock, Convergence Associates, the former Avasta shareholders
and we mutually released each other from all claims related to
the arbitration proceeding, the decision of the arbitrator and
any other claim that we are required to pay the attorneys
fees, costs or disbursements of the attorneys for the former
Avasta shareholders. As of January 31, 2005, the Company
has recorded the value of the 521,880 shares to be issued
as equity on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Accordingly, with respect to the 521,880 shares and $175,000,
the Company recorded a $1.6 million charge during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 and recorded a $0.1 million
credit during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, when the
arbitrator issued a final decision.
Engage Bankruptcy Trustee Claim
On September 9, 2004, Don Hoy, Craig R. Jalbert and David
St. Pierre, as trustees of and on behalf of the Engage, Inc.
creditor trust, filed suit against us in the United States
Bankruptcy Court in the District of Massachusetts. The suit
generally relates to a termination agreement, dated
March 7, 2002, we entered into with Engage, Inc. (a company
then affiliated with CMGI, Inc.), which terminated a services
agreement between us and Engage and required Engage to pay us
$3.6 million. Engage made three payments to us under the
termination agreement in the aggregate amount of
$3.4 million. On June 19, 2003, Engage and five of its
wholly owned subsidiaries filed petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. The suit generally alleges that Engage was insolvent at
the time that we entered into the termination agreement with
Engage and at the time Engage made the payments to us.
Specifically, the suit alleges that (i) the plaintiffs are
entitled to avoid and recover $1.0 million paid by Engage
to us in the year prior to June 19, 2003 as a preferential
transfer, (ii) the plaintiffs are entitled to avoid and
recover $3.4 million (which amount includes the
$1.0 million payment made prior to June 13, 2003) paid
by Engage to us as a fraudulent transfer, and (iii) our
acts and omissions relating to the termination agreement and the
payments made by Engage to us constitute unfair and deceptive
acts or practices in willful and knowing violation of Mass. Gen.
Laws ch. 93A. In addition to the foregoing amounts, the
plaintiffs are also seeking treble damages, attorneys fees
and costs under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A.
On November 19, 2004, we filed a motion to dismiss as a
matter of law certain of the claims asserted in the complaint. A
hearing before the Court was held on this motion on
February 7, 2005, at which time the Court denied the motion
on the grounds that there were material issues of facts in
dispute which precluded the Court at this time from granting a
motion to dismiss such claims as a matter of law. On
February 28, 2005, we filed an answer to the complaint,
generally denying any liability thereunder and asserted numerous
defenses. We further intend to file a complaint against certain
third-parties, seeking to hold such parties liable for any and
all obligations that we may incur as a result of the claims
asserted in the complaint. As this matter is in the initial
stage, we are not able to predict the possible outcome of this
matter and the effect, if any, on our
46
financial condition except that we believe we have certain
meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint
which we intend to assert vigorously.
