FALCONSTOR SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
FalconStor Software, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"),
develops, manufactures and sells network storage software solutions and
provides the related maintenance, implementation and engineering services.
(b) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The Company's more significant estimates include those related
to revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowances, deferred income taxes
and accounting for share-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
(d) UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations relating to interim financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company at June 30, 2007, and the results of its operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations of any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the full fiscal year.
(e) CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents,
consisting of money market funds and commercial paper, amounted to approximately
$13.7 million and $11.0 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. Marketable securities at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006
amounted to $29.9 million and $25.4 million, respectively, and consisted of
corporate bonds and government securities, which are classified as
available-for-sale, and accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on marketable
securities are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss
in stockholders' equity.
6
(f) REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from software licenses in accordance with
Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION, as amended by
SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations to determine the recognition
of revenue. Accordingly, revenue for software licenses is recognized when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable
and the software is delivered and collection of the resulting receivable is
deemed probable. Software delivered to a customer on a trial basis is not
recognized as revenue until a permanent key code is delivered to the customer.
Reseller customers typically send the Company a purchase order only when they
have an end user identified. When a customer licenses software together with the
purchase of maintenance, the Company allocates a portion of the fee to
maintenance for its fair value. Software maintenance fees are deferred and
recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the contract. The long-term
portion of deferred revenue relates to maintenance contracts with terms in
excess of one year. The cost of providing technical support is included in cost
of maintenance, software service and other revenues. The Company provides an
allowance for software product returns as a reduction of revenue, based upon
historical experience and known or expected trends.
Revenues associated with software implementation and software engineering
services are recognized as the services are completed. Costs of providing these
services are included in cost of maintenance, software services and other
revenue.
The Company has entered into various distribution, licensing and joint
promotion agreements with OEMs and distributors, whereby the Company has
provided to the reseller a non-exclusive software license to install the
Company's software on certain hardware or to resell the Company's software in
exchange for payments based on the products distributed by the OEM or
distributor. Nonrefundable advances and engineering fees received by the Company
from an OEM are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when
related software engineering services, if any, are complete and the software
product master is delivered and accepted.
The Company has transactions in which it purchases hardware and bundles
this hardware with the Company's software and sells the bundled solution to its
customer. Since the software is not essential for the functionality of the
equipment included in the Company's bundled solutions, and both the hardware and
software have stand alone value to the customer, a portion of the contractual
fees is recognized as revenue when the software or hardware is delivered based
on the relative fair value of the delivered element(s).
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company had two customers
that together accounted for 40% of revenues, and two customers that together
accounted for 25% of the accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2007. For the
three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company had two customers that together
accounted for 32% of revenues.
(g) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recognized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3
to 7 years). Depreciation expense was $857,074 and $767,739 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Depreciation expense was $1,658,183
and $1,504,257 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the respective leases or over their estimated useful lives, whichever is
shorter.
(h) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in
business combinations. Consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 142, GOODWILL AND
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, the Company has not amortized goodwill related to its
acquisitions, but instead tests the balance for impairment. The Company's annual
impairment assessment is performed as of December 31st of each year, and an
assessment is made at other times if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Identifiable
intangible assets are amortized over a three-year period using the straight-line
method. Amortization expense was $54,405 and $45,468 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense was $108,760 and
$90,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The gross
carrying amount and accumulated amortization of other intangible assets as of
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:
7
June 30, December 31,
2007 2006
----------- -----------
Patents:
Gross carrying amount $ 1,104,706 $ 1,023,093
Accumulated amortization (724,537) (615,777)
----------- -----------
Net carrying amount $ 380,169 $ 407,316
=========== ===========
(i) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND PURCHASED TECHNOLOGY
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS
OF SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED OR OTHERWISE MARKETED, costs associated with the
development of new software products and enhancements to existing software
products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product
has been established. Based on the Company's product development process,
technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model.
Amortization of software development costs is recorded at the greater of
straight line over three years or the ratio of current revenue of the related
products to total current and anticipated future revenue of these products.
Purchased software technology of $148,756 and $183,578, net of accumulated
amortization of $5,058,675 and $5,008,853 is included in other assets as of June
30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Amortization expense was $24,286
and $101,333 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and
$49,822 and $253,055 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Amortization of purchased software technology is recorded at the
greater of the straight line basis over the products' estimated remaining life
or the ratio of current period revenue of the related products to total current
and anticipated future revenue of these products.
(j) 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. 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 realized 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. The Company recognizes interest and
penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax
expense in its consolidated statements of operations.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,
ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 is an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES, and
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be
claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under
FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position
only if it meets the "more likely than not" threshold that the position will be
sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits
of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from
such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and also
requires increased disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in any
adjustment to the recognized benefits from the Company's uncertain tax
positions. See footnote No. 6, "Income Taxes" for additional information.
(k) LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and
without interest is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment
loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value.
8
(l) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
123(R), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT, which establishes the accounting for transactions
in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under
the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation expense is measured
at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an
expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting
period) for awards expected to vest. The Company estimates the fair value of
share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock option
exercises and restricted stock awards are expected to be fulfilled with new
shares of common stock.
The Company accounts for stock option grants to non-employees in accordance
with SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, and EITF Issue No.
96-18, ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE ISSUED TO OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES
FOR ACQUIRING, OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELLING, GOODS OR SERVICES, which require
that the fair value of these instruments be recognized as an expense over the
period in which the related services are rendered.
(m) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair value of the Company's
financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to the short
maturity of these instruments.
(n) FOREIGN CURRENCY
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at rates of
exchange at the end of the period, while results of operations are translated at
average exchange rates in effect for the period. Unrealized gains and losses
from the translation of foreign assets and liabilities are classified as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from
foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations
within interest and other income, net. Such amounts have historically not been
material.
(o) EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding increased by dilutive common stock
equivalents. Due to the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30,
2006, all common stock equivalents were excluded from diluted net loss per share
for the periods. As of June 30, 2007 potentially dilutive common stock
equivalents included 9,856,588 stock options and shares of restricted stock
outstanding.
The following represents a reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computation:

(q) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES - INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB
STATEMENT NO. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible
items at fair value at specified election dates and to report unrealized gains
and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings
at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial
statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE Measurements to
clarify the definition of fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair
value and expand the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a
market-based measurement, fair value should be determined based on the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a)
market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the
reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances
(unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 becomes effective for the Company in its
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial
statements.

(2) SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
As of May 1, 2000, the Company adopted the FalconStor Software, Inc. 2000
Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"). The 2000 Plan is administered by the Board
of Directors and, as amended, provides for the grant of options to purchase up
to 14,162,296 shares of Company common stock to employees, consultants and
non-employee directors. Options may be incentive ("ISO") or non-qualified. ISOs
granted must have exercise prices at least equal to the fair value of the common
stock on the date of grant, and have terms not greater than ten years, except
those to an employee who owns stock with greater than 10% of the voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company, in which case they must have an option
price at least 110% of the fair value of the stock, and expire no later than
five years from the date of grant. Non-qualified options granted must have
exercise prices not less than eighty percent of the fair value of the common
stock on the date of grant, and have terms not greater than ten years. All
options granted under the 2000 Plan must be granted before May 1, 2010.
On May 14, 2004, the Company adopted the FalconStor Software, Inc. 2004
Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Plan"). The 2004 Plan is
administered by the Board of Directors and provides for the granting of options
to non-employee directors of the Company to purchase up to 300,000 shares of
Company common stock. Exercise prices of the options must be equal to the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted have
terms of ten years. All options granted under the 2004 Plan must be granted
within three years of the adoption of the 2004 Plan. As of May 14, 2007, no
additional options will be available for grant under the 2004 Plan.
On May 17, 2006, the Company adopted the FalconStor Software, Inc. 2006
Incentive Stock Plan (the "2006 Plan"). The 2006 Plan is administered by the
Board of Directors and provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified
stock options, and restricted stock, to employees, officers, consultants and
advisors of the Company. Initially, a maximum of 1,500,000 of the authorized but
unissued or treasury shares of the common stock of the Company could be issued
upon the grant of restricted stock or upon the exercise of options granted under
the 2006 Plan. Exercise prices of the options must be equal to the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted have terms of
not greater than ten years. All options and shares of restricted stock granted
under the 2006 Plan must be granted within ten years of the adoption of the 2006
Plan.
On May 8, 2007, the 2006 Plan was amended so that if, on July 1st of any
calendar year in which the Plan is in effect (the "Calculation Date"), the
number of shares of stock to which options may be granted is less than five
percent (5%) of the number of outstanding shares of stock, then the number of
shares of stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be increased so that
the number equals five percent (5%) of the shares of stock outstanding. In no
event shall the number of shares of stock subject to the Plan in the aggregate
exceed twenty million shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2006
Plan. On July 1, 2007, the total number of outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock totaled 49,615,610. Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, as amended, the
total shares available for issuance under the 2006 Plan thus increased by
2,170,731 shares to 2,480,781 shares available for issuance as of July 1, 2007.
On May 8, 2007, the Company's stockholders approved the FalconStor
Software, Inc. 2007 Outside Directors Equity Compensation Plan (the "2007
Plan"). The 2007 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and provides for
the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Company common stock upon the vesting of
options or upon the grant of shares with such restrictions as determined by the
Board of Directors to the non-employee directors of the Company. Exercise prices
of the options must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant. Options granted have terms of ten years. Shares of restricted
stock have the terms and conditions set by the Board of Directors and are
forfeitable until the terms of the grant have been satisfied.

The Company did not recognize any tax benefits related to share-based
compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized $10,467 of
tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense.
In 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of common
stock to certain non-employee consultants in exchange for professional services.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted options to
purchase 6,000 shares of common stock to certain non-employee consultants in
exchange for professional services. The aggregate fair value of these options
are determined using the Black-Scholes method as of each balance sheet date, and
are being expensed over their respective period of services to be provided. The
related cumulative aggregate expense totaled $58,370 through June 30, 2007, of
which $19,607 and $40,455 were recognized during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively.
In 2006, the Company granted 225,000 shares of restricted stock to certain
officers and employees at an average fair value per share at date of grant of
$7.06 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company
granted 26,500 shares of restricted stock to certain Outside Directors and
employees at a fair value per share at date of grant of $11.10 per share. As of
June 30, 2007, no restricted shares have vested or been forfeited. There were no
restricted shares issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2006.
Options granted during both fiscal 2007 and 2006 have exercise prices equal
to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a contractual term
of ten years, a vesting period of three years and an estimated forfeiture rate
of 23%. The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical
daily price changes of the Company's stock and other factors. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the United States treasury yield curve in effect at
the time of grant.
As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was approximately $9,848,541 and
$12,152,329, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
the Company's unvested options and restricted shares granted under the Company's
stock plans.
In September 2003, the Company entered into a worldwide OEM agreement with
a major technology company (the "OEM"), and granted to the OEM warrants to
purchase 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of
$6.18 per share. A portion of the warrants were to vest annually subject to the
OEM's achievement of pre-defined and mutually agreed upon sales objectives over
a three-year period beginning June 1, 2004. As of June 1, 2007, none of the
warrants had vested and the rights to exercise the warrants expired on such
date.

(6) INCOME TAXES
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company's
provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts
necessary to align its year-to-date tax provision with the effective tax rate
the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The provision includes U.S.
federal alternative minimum taxes and state minimum taxes that are expected to
be incurred primarily as a result of the limitations on the Company's ability to
utilize net operating losses under the alternative minimum tax system and the
non-deductibility of certain share-based compensation expense for income tax
purposes that has been recognized for financial statement purposes and foreign
taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company's income tax
benefit of $83,537 includes discrete items for (i) $57,058 related to state
income taxes incurred in periods prior to 2007, (ii) $120,000 related to a
change in the Company's estimate of amounts due in certain foreign jurisdictions
for periods prior to 2007, based upon the Company's evaluation of information
obtained in 2007, and (iii) $0.3 million of benefit associated with
disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company reported deferred tax assets and a
corresponding full valuation allowance, of $50.2 million. As of January 1, 2007,
the Company revised the recorded amounts of certain deferred tax assets (and
corresponding valuation allowance) to be $14.3 million, primarily due to the
limitations on the Company's ability to utilize certain deferred tax assets
relating to net operating losses acquired in the Company's 2001 reverse merger
transaction.
Through March 31, 2007, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance
against its net deferred tax assets due to the Company's prior history of
pre-tax losses and uncertainty about the timing of and ability to generate
taxable income in the future. As discussed above, the Company recognized $0.3
million of tax benefits associated with disqualifying dispositions of incentive
stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of
continued positive operating results and improved projections for taxable
income. The Company believes that if positive evidence from its earnings trends
continue in subsequent quarters, it is likely that the Company will recognize a
significant portion of its deferred tax assets, through a reduction in its
deferred tax valuation allowance in the near term. In determining the period in
which related tax benefits are realized for book purposes, excess share-based
payment deductions and deductions from discontinued operations included in net
operating losses, are realized after regular net operating losses are exhausted.
If the entire deferred tax asset were realized, approximately $6.0 million
(related to the tax effects of excess compensation deductions from exercises of
employee and consultant stock options) would be allocated to paid-in-capital,
with the remainder reducing income tax expense.
The Company's total unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 were $4.4
million, which, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate.
Total accrued interest and penalties as of January 1, 2007 were $22,193. During
the three months ended June 30, 2007, there were no additional unrecognized tax
benefits identified. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax
benefits will significantly change within the next 12 months. The Company files
a consolidated U.S. Income tax return and tax returns in various state and local
jurisdictions. The returns filed in various state and local jurisdictions may be
filed on a separate company, combined or consolidated basis depending on the
legal requirements of the taxing jurisdiction. The Company's subsidiaries also
file tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. In addition to the U.S., the
Company's major taxing jurisdictions include China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, United
Kingdom, Germany, France and Australia. There have not been any past tax
examinations nor are there any current tax examinations in progress.
Accordingly, as of January 1, 2007, the Company remains subject to examination
in all tax jurisdictions for all periods since inception.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING
OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE
USE OF PREDICTIVE, FUTURE-TENSE OR FORWARD-LOOKING TERMINOLOGY, SUCH AS
"BELIEVES," "ANTICIPATES," "EXPECTS," "ESTIMATES," "PLANS," "MAY," "INTENDS,"
"WILL," OR SIMILAR TERMS. INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT ANY FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE SIGNIFICANT
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND THAT ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM
THOSE PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION
SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES TO
THOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
OVERVIEW
Our results for the second quarter of 2007 showed solid growth from the
same period in the prior year. Both our revenues and our gross margins
increased.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased 40% to $17.8 million
compared with revenues of $ 12.7 million in the second quarter of 2006. Revenues
from both our OEM partners and our resellers increased from the same period last
year.
Our revenues grew 9% from the previous quarter and were higher than our
revenues in every quarter in the Company's history, other than the fourth
quarter of 2006. We believe this shows continued momentum for our products and
services.
EMC Corporation accounted for 26% of our revenues, and Sun Microsystems
accounted for 14% of our revenues, in the second quarter of 2007. We anticipate
that each of these customers will account for 10% or more of our revenues during
2007. EMC has consistently contributed 20% or more of our revenues for a
significant period of time. Sun's revenue contribution has fluctuated on a
quarterly basis, but their announcement regarding their VTL strategy in the
fourth quarter of 2006, and the announcement in April 2007 that Sun will carry
our full product line, gives us reason to believe that their contribution to our
revenues will remain at or above the 10% level.
We continue to monitor our management structure to determine whether
changes or additional resources will help to continue or to accelerate the
positive momentum. We anticipate that we will need to add resources to our sales
and marketing team to realize the full potential of our existing opportunities,
to establish our visibility in the marketplace, and to generate additional
business prospects.
In addition to increased revenues, the other indicators we use to assess
our performance and growth continued to be positive.
We had net income of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
This positive result includes $1.9 million of share-based compensation expense
related to SFAS No. 123(R). Cash flows from operations in the second quarter of
2007 were again positive. We continue to believe that our ability to fund our
own growth internally bodes well for our long-term success.
Deferred revenue at June 30, 2007 increased 63%, compared with the balance
at June 30, 2006. We consider the continued growth of our deferred revenue as an
important indicator of the success of our products. We believe that support and
maintenance renewals, which comprise the majority of our deferred revenue, are
expressions of satisfaction with our products and our support organization from
our end users.
Operating expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 20%, compared with the
second quarter of 2006. Operating expenses include $1.9 million in share-based
compensation expense for the second quarter of 2007, and $2.4 million in
share-based compensation expense for the second quarter of 2006. We are pleased
that our revenues, on both an absolute and a percentage basis, continue to grow
at a higher rate than our expenses.
16
Our gross margins increased to 86% for the second quarter of 2007 from 81%
for the second quarter of 2006. Share-based compensation expense within cost of
maintenance, software services and other revenue was 1% of revenue in the second
quarter of 2007 and 3% in the second quarter of 2006.
We plan to continue adding research and development, sales and support
personnel, both in the United States and worldwide, as necessary. We also plan
to continue investing in infrastructure, including both equipment and property.
We continue to operate the business with the goal of long-term growth. We
believe that our ability to continue to refine our existing products and
features and to introduce new products and features will be the primary driver
of additional growth among existing resellers, OEMs and end users, and will
drive our strategy to attempt to engage additional OEM partners and to expand
the FalconStor product lines offered by these OEMs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 40% to $17.8
million compared with $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Our operating expenses increased 20% from $14.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Included in our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006 was $1.9 and $2.4 million, respectively, of share-based compensation
expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Net income for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 was $1.4 million compared with a net loss of $1.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The growth in revenues was due to
significant increases in our software license and maintenance revenues as well
as moderate increases in software services and other revenues. Revenue
contribution from our OEM partners increased in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of our total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared
with the same period in 2006. Revenue from resellers and distributors also
increased in absolute dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared with the same period in 2006. Expenses increased in all aspects of our
business to support our continued growth. During the three months ended June 30,
2007, we continued to increase the number of employees and to invest in our
infrastructure by increasing our capital expenditures particularly with
purchases of equipment for support of our existing and future product lines. We
increased the number of employees from 330 as of June 30, 2006 to 394 employees
as of June 30, 2007.
REVENUES
SOFTWARE LICENSE REVENUE
Software license revenue is comprised of software licenses sold through our
OEMs, value-added resellers and distributors to end-users and, to a lesser
extent, directly to end-users. These revenues are recognized when, among other
requirements, we receive a customer purchase order or a royalty report
summarizing software licenses sold and the software and permanent key codes are
delivered to the customer. We sometimes receive nonrefundable royalty advances
and engineering fees from some of our OEM partners. These arrangements are
evidenced by a signed customer contract, and the revenue is recognized when the
software product master is delivered and accepted, and the engineering services,
if any, have been performed.
Software license revenue increased 37% from $8.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007. Continued growth of market acceptance and increased demand for our
products has resulted in increased sales from our OEM partners and were the
primary drivers of the increase in software license revenue. Software license
revenue increased from both our OEM partners and from our resellers. Revenue
from our OEM partners increased as a percentage of total revenue. We expect our
software license revenue to continue to grow in future periods.
17
MAINTENANCE, SOFTWARE SERVICES AND OTHER REVENUE
Maintenance, software services and other revenues are comprised of software
maintenance and technical support, professional services primarily related to
the implementation of our software, engineering services, and sales of computer
hardware. Revenue derived from maintenance and technical support contracts is
deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance term.
Professional services revenue is recognized in the period that the related
services are performed. Revenue from engineering services is primarily related
to customizing software product masters for some of our OEM partners. Revenue
from engineering services is recognized in the period the services are
completed. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had
transactions in which we purchased hardware and bundled this hardware with our
software and sold this bundled solution to our customer. A portion of the
contractual fees is recognized as revenue when the hardware or software is
delivered to the customer based on the relative fair value of the delivered
element(s). Maintenance, software services and other revenue increased 46% to
$5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006.
The major factor behind the increase in maintenance, software services and
other revenue was an increase in the number of maintenance and technical support
contracts we sold. As we are in business longer, and as we license more software
from our continued customer base and product offerings expansion, we expect
these revenues will continue to increase. The majority of our new customers
purchase maintenance and support and most customers renew their maintenance and
support after their initial contracts expire. Maintenance revenue increased $1.6
million from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $4.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Software services and other
revenue increased approximately $0.2 million from $1.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007. We expect maintenance, software services and other revenues to continue to
increase.
COST OF REVENUES
AMORTIZATION OF PURCHASED AND CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
To remain successful in the network storage solutions market, we must
continually upgrade our software by enhancing the existing features of our
products and by adding new features and products. We often evaluate whether to
develop these new offerings in-house or whether we can achieve a greater return
on investment by purchasing or licensing software from third parties. Based on
our evaluations we have purchased or licensed various software for resale since
2001. As of June 30, 2007, we had $0.1 million of purchased software licenses,
net of accumulated amortization of $5.1 million that are being amortized over
three years. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $24,000 of
amortization related to these purchased software licenses. As of June 30, 2006,
we had $0.3 million of purchased software licenses, net of accumulated
amortization of $4.9 million and recorded approximately $100,000 of amortization
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 related to these purchased software
licenses. We will continue to evaluate third party software licenses and may
make additional purchases from time to time, which would impact the amount we
record as amortization expense in future periods.
COST OF MAINTENANCE, SOFTWARE SERVICES AND OTHER REVENUE
Cost of maintenance, software services and other revenues consists
primarily of personnel and other costs associated with providing software
implementations, technical support under maintenance contracts, training, and
share-based compensation expense associated with SFAS No. 123(R). Cost of
maintenance, software services and other revenues also includes the cost of
hardware purchased that was resold. Cost of maintenance, software services and
other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 6% to $2.5
million compared with $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The
increase in cost of maintenance, software services and other revenue was
principally due to the increase in personnel and related costs for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. As a result
of our increased sales from maintenance and support contracts, we hired
additional employees to provide technical support. Consequently, our cost of
maintenance, software services and other revenue will continue to grow in
absolute dollars as our revenues from these services also increase.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $15.3 million or
86% of revenue compared with $10.2 million or 81% of revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in our gross margin was primarily due
18
to the increase of our revenue combined with our continued focus on our cost
structure. Share-based compensation expense included in the cost of maintenance,
software services and other revenue decreased in absolute dollars to $0.2
million from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Share-based compensation expense was equal to 1% and 3% of revenue
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Software development costs consist primarily of personnel costs for product
development personnel, share-based compensation expense associated with SFAS No.
123(R), and other related costs associated with the development of new products,
enhancements to existing products, quality assurance and testing. Software
development costs increased 9% to $5.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2007 from $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The major
contributing factors to the increase in software development costs were higher
salary costs and personnel related costs as a result of increased headcount to
enhance and test our core network storage software product, as well as to
develop new innovative features and options during the three months ended June
30, 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. Share-based compensation
expense included in software development costs decreased in absolute dollars to
$0.8 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Share-based compensation expense included in software
development costs was equal to 4% and 9% of revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We intend to continue recruiting and
hiring product development personnel to support our software development
process.
SELLING AND MARKETING
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing
personnel and related costs, share-based compensation expense associated with
SFAS No. 123(R), travel, public relations expense, marketing literature and
promotions, commissions, trade show expenses, and the costs associated with our
foreign sales offices. Selling and marketing expenses increased 32% to $7.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was
primarily due to (i) higher commissions paid as a result of our 40% increase in
revenue, and (ii) higher salary costs and personnel related costs as a result of
increased sales and marketing headcount during the three months ended June 30,
2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. Share-based compensation expense
included in selling and marketing remained consistent in absolute dollars at
$0.7 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Share-based
compensation expense included in selling and marketing expenses was equal to 4%
and 5% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. In addition, we continued to hire new sales and sales support
personnel and to expand our worldwide presence to accommodate our anticipated
revenue growth. We anticipate that as we continue to grow sales, our sales and
marketing expenses will continue to increase in support of such sales growth.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of
general and administrative functions, share-based compensation expense
associated with SFAS No. 123(R), public company related costs, directors and
officers insurance, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate
overhead costs. General and administrative expenses increased 38% to $1.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses
was primarily due to (i) higher professional fees as a result of the
implementation of FIN No. 48 and other tax related planning activities which
commenced for fiscal year 2007, and (ii) increased compensation and personnel
related costs as a result of increased headcount to support our general and
administrative needs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with
the same period in 2006. Share-based compensation expense included in general
and administrative decreased in absolute dollars to $0.2 million from $0.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses
was equal to 1% and 2% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Additionally, as our revenue and number of employees
increase, our legal and professional fees and other general corporate overhead
costs have increased and are likely to continue to increase.
19
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
We invest our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in
government securities and other low risk investments. Interest and other income
increased to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with
$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is
primarily due to increased cash balance as of June 30, 2007 as compared with the
same period in 2006, as well as increased interest rates, which resulted in a
higher average cash balance invested at greater interest rates.
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our provision for income
taxes consisted of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align our
year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that we expect to achieve for
the full year. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June
30, 2007 consists primarily of foreign taxes and U.S. federal alternative
minimum taxes and state minimum taxes that are expected to be incurred primarily
as a result of the limitations on our ability to utilize net operating losses
under the alternative minimum tax system, and the non-deductibility of certain
share-based compensation expenses for income tax purposes that have been
recognized for financial statement purposes and foreign taxes. For the three
months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded an income tax benefit of $285,621, which
includes approximately $0.3 million of tax benefits recognized associated with
disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options as a result of our
continued positive operating results and improved projections for taxable
income. We believe that if positive evidence from our earnings trends continue
in subsequent quarters, it is likely we will recognize a significant portion of
our deferred tax assets through a reduction in our deferred tax valuation
allowance in the near term.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED WITH SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 56% to $34.1
million compared with $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our
operating expenses increased 26% from $27.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 to $34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Included
in our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was
$4.1 and $4.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related
to stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Net income for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.8 million compared with a net loss of
$4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The growth in revenues was
due to significant increases in our software license and maintenance revenues as
well as moderate increases in software services and other revenues. Revenue
contribution from our OEM partners increased in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared with the same period in 2006. Revenue from resellers and distributors
also increased in absolute dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared with the same period in 2006. Expenses increased in all aspects of our
business to support our continued growth. During the six months ended June 30,
2007, we continued to increase the number of employees and to invest in our
infrastructure by increasing our capital expenditures particularly with
purchases of equipment for support of our existing and future product lines. We
increased the number of employees from 330 as of June 30, 2006 to 394 employees
as of June 30, 2007.
REVENUES
SOFTWARE LICENSE REVENUE
Software license revenue increased 56% from $14.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 to $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007. Continued growth of market acceptance and increased demand for our
products has resulted in increased sales from our OEM partners and were the
primary drivers of the increase in software license revenue. Software license
revenue increased from both our OEM partners and from our resellers. Revenue
from our OEM partners increased as a percentage of total revenue. We expect our
software license revenue to continue to grow in future periods.
20
MAINTENANCE, SOFTWARE SERVICES AND OTHER REVENUE
Maintenance, software services and other revenue increased 56% to $11.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006. The major factor behind the increase in maintenance,
software services and other revenue was an increase in the number of maintenance
and technical support contracts we sold. As we are in business longer, and as we
license more software from our continued customer base and product offerings
expansion, we expect these revenues will continue to increase. The majority of
our new customers purchase maintenance and support and most customers renew
their maintenance and support after their initial contracts expire. Maintenance
revenue increased $3.4 million from $5.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2006 to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Software
services and other revenue increased approximately $0.8 million from $2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $2.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the increase in hardware we
bundled with our software. We expect maintenance, software services and other
revenues to continue to increase.
COST OF REVENUES
AMORTIZATION OF PURCHASED AND CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
As of June 30, 2007, we had $0.1 million of purchased software licenses,
net of accumulated amortization of $5.1 million that are being amortized over
three years. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $50,000 of
amortization related to these purchased software licenses. As of June 30, 2006,
we had $0.3 million of purchased software licenses, net of accumulated
amortization of $4.9 million and recorded approximately $0.3 million of
amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to these purchased
software licenses. We will continue to evaluate third party software licenses
and may make additional purchases from time to time, which would impact the
amount we record as amortization expense in future periods.
COST OF MAINTENANCE, SOFTWARE SERVICES AND OTHER REVENUE
Cost of maintenance, software services and other revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 21% to $5.2 million compared with $4.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cost of
maintenance, software services and other revenue was primarily due to (i) the
increased cost of hardware as a result of the increased number of transactions
in which we bundled purchased hardware with our software and sold the bundled
solution, and (ii) the increase in personnel and related costs for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. As a result
of our increased sales from maintenance and support contracts, we hired
additional employees to provide technical support. Consequently, our cost of
maintenance, software services and other revenue will continue to grow in
absolute dollars as our revenues from these services also increase.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $28.8 million or
85% of revenue compared with $17.3 million or 79% of revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2006. The increase in our gross margin was primarily due to the
increase of our revenue combined with our continued focus on our cost structure.
Share-based compensation expense included in the cost of maintenance, software
services and other revenue decreased in absolute dollars to $0.5 million from
$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense was equal to 1% and 3% of revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Software development costs increased 14% to $10.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 from $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006. The major contributing factors to the increase in software development
costs were higher salary costs and personnel related costs as a result of
increased headcount to enhance and test our core network storage software
product, as well as to develop new innovative features and options during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006.
Share-based compensation expense included in software development costs
decreased in absolute dollars to $1.7 million from $2.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Share-based compensation
expense included in software development costs was equal to 5% and 10% of
21
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We intend
to continue recruiting and hiring product development personnel to support our
software development process.
SELLING AND MARKETING
Selling and marketing expenses increased 37% to $14.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 from $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to (i)
higher commissions paid as a result of our 56% increase in revenue and (ii)
higher salary costs and personnel related costs as a result of increased sales
and marketing headcount during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared
with the same period in 2006. Share-based compensation expense included in
selling and marketing increased slightly in absolute dollars to $1.4 million
from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense included in selling and marketing expenses was
equal to 4% and 6% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. In addition, we continued to hire new sales and sales support
personnel and to expand our worldwide presence to accommodate our anticipated
revenue growth. We anticipate that as we continue to grow sales, our sales and
marketing expenses will continue to increase in support of such sales growth.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses increased 42% to $3.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due
to (i) higher professional fees as a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48
and other tax related planning activities which commenced for fiscal year 2007,
and (ii) increased compensation and personnel related costs as a result of
increased headcount to support our general and administrative needs for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. Share-based
compensation expense included in general and administrative remained consistent
in absolute dollars at $0.5 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively. Share-based compensation expense included in general and
administrative expenses was equal to 1% and 2% of revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, as our revenue and
number of employees increase, our legal and professional fees and other general
corporate overhead costs have increased and are likely to continue to increase.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
We invest our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in
government securities and other low risk investments. Interest and other income
increased to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with
$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily
due to increased cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared with the same period in 2006, as well as increased interest rates,
which resulted in a higher average cash balance invested at greater interest
rates.
INCOME TAXES
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our provision for income
taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align our
year-to-date tax provision with the effective tax rate we expect to achieve for
the full year. The provision includes U.S. federal alternative minimum taxes and
state minimum taxes that are expected to be incurred primarily as a result of
the limitations on our ability to utilize net operating losses under the
alternative minimum tax system and the non-deductibility of certain share-based
compensation expense for income tax purposes that has been recognized for
financial statement purposes and foreign taxes. During the six months ended June
30, 2007, our income tax benefit of $83,537 includes discrete items for (i)
$57,058 related to state income taxes incurred in periods prior to 2007, (ii)
$120,000 related to a change in our estimate of amounts due in certain foreign
jurisdictions for periods prior to 2007, based upon our evaluation of
information obtained in 2007, and (iii) $0.3 million of benefit associated with
disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options as a result of our
continued positive operating results and improved projections for taxable
income. We believe that if positive evidence from our earnings trends continue
in subsequent quarters, it is likely we will recognize a significant portion of
our deferred tax assets through a reduction in our deferred tax valuation
allowance in the near term.
22
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue
recognition, accounts receivable allowances, deferred income taxes and
accounting for share-based compensation expense.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions
of Statement of Position 97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION, as amended.
Software license revenue is recognized only when pervasive evidence of an
arrangement exists and the fee is fixed and determinable, among other criteria.
An arrangement is evidenced by a signed customer contract for nonrefundable
royalty advances received from OEMs or a customer purchase order or a royalty
report summarizing software licenses sold for each software license resold by an
OEM, distributor or solution provider to an end user. The software license fees
are fixed and determinable as our standard payment terms range from 30 to 90
days, depending on regional billing practices, and we have not provided any of
our customers extended payment terms. When a customer licenses software together
with the purchase of maintenance, we allocate a portion of the fee to
maintenance for its fair value based on the contractual maintenance renewal
rate.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. We review accounts receivable to determine which are
doubtful of collection. In making the determination of the appropriate allowance
for uncollectible accounts and returns, we consider historical return rates,
specific past due accounts, analysis of our accounts receivable aging, customer
payment terms, historical collections, write-offs and returns, changes in
customer demand and relationships, concentrations of credit risk and customer
credit worthiness. Historically, we have experienced a somewhat consistent level
of write-offs and returns as a percentage of revenue due to our customer
relationships, contract provisions and credit assessments. Changes in the
product return rates, credit worthiness of customers, general economic
conditions and other factors may impact the level of future write-offs, revenues
and our general and administrative expenses.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES. Consistent with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, we regularly estimate our ability to
recover deferred income taxes, and report such assets at the amount that is
determined to be more-likely-than-not recoverable. This evaluation considers
several factors, including an estimate of the likelihood of generating
sufficient taxable income in future periods over which temporary differences
reverse, the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, past and projected
taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. As of June 30, 2007,
based primarily upon our cumulative losses, a valuation allowance has been
recorded against deferred tax assets to record such assets at an amount that we
believe is more-likely-than-not recoverable. We believe that if positive
evidence from our earnings trends continue in subsequent quarters, it is likely
we will recognize a significant portion of our deferred tax assets through a
reduction in our deferred tax valuation allowance in the near term. If the
entire deferred tax assets were realized, approximately $6 million (related to
the tax effects of excess compensation deductions from exercises of employee and
consultant stock options) would be allocated to paid-in-capital with the
remainder reducing income tax expense.
ACCOUNTING FOR SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS. As discussed further in "Notes to
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note (2) SHARE-BASED
PAYMENTS," we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified
prospective method.
We have used and expect to continue to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model to compute the estimated fair value of share-based compensation expense.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend
yields, expected volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates.
The assumptions used in computing the fair value of share-based compensation
expense reflect our best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market
and other conditions, many of which are outside of our control. We estimate
expected volatility based primarily on historical daily price changes of our
stock and other factors. Additionally, we estimate forfeiture rates based
primarily upon historical experiences, adjusted when appropriate for known
events or expected trends. If other assumptions or estimates had been used, the
share-based compensation expense that was recorded for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 could have been materially different. Furthermore,
if different assumptions or estimates are used in future periods, share-based
compensation expense could be materially impacted in the future.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL
23
LIABILITIES - INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115. SFAS No. 159
permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified
election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 159
on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE Measurements,
to clarify the definition of fair value, establish a framework for measuring
fair value and expand the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a
market-based measurement, fair value should be determined based on the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a)
market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the
reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances
(unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 becomes effective for the Company in its
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of
the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of
June 30, 2007 increased by $15.2 million compared with December 31, 2006. Our
cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.2 million and marketable securities
totaled $29.9 million at June 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, we had
approximately $15.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $25.4 million in
marketable securities.
We continued to invest in our infrastructure to support our long-term
growth during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We made investments in
property and equipment and we increased the number of employees during the first
half of 2007. As we continue to grow, we will continue to make investments in
property and equipment and will need to continue to increase our headcount.
In October 2001, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
two million shares of our outstanding common stock. Since October 2001, 865,200
shares have been repurchased at an aggregate purchase price of $5.8 million. We
did not repurchase any shares during the three and six months ended June 30,
2007. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased
250,000 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $11.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $5.4 million for the same period in
2006. Net cash provided by operating activities of $11.6 million was primarily
derived from: (i) a decrease in accounts receivables of $3.6 million; (ii) an
increase in deferred revenue of $3 million; (iii) non-cash charges of $1.8
million for depreciation and amortization; (iv) $4.1 million related to
share-based compensation expense; and (v) our net income of $0.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007. These amounts were partially offset by: (i) a
decrease in accrued expenses of $1.3 million; and (ii) an increase in prepaid
and other assets of $0.8 million. The cash provided by operating activities for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 was mainly comprised of: (i) a decrease in
accounts receivable of $2.5 million; (ii) an increase in deferred revenue of
$1.5 million; (iii) non-cash charges of $1.8 million for depreciation and
amortization; (iv) an increase in accrued expenses of $0.1 million; and (iv)
$4.7 million related to share-based compensation expense. These amounts were
partially offset by: (i) our net loss of $4.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006; and (ii) an increase in other assets of $0.1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $7.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, was comprised of: (i) net purchases of marketable
securities of $4.6 million; (ii) purchases of property and equipment of $2.8
million; and (iii) purchases of software licenses and intangible assets of $0.1
million. Net cash used in investing activities was $9.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, was comprised of: (i) net purchases of marketable
securities of $7.8 million; (ii) purchases of property and equipment of $1.7
million; and (iii) purchases of software licenses and intangible assets of $0.3
million.

Net cash provided from financing activities was $6.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. We received proceeds from the exercise of stock
options of $6.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006. It was comprised of purchases of
treasury stock of $1.7 million partially offset by the proceeds from the
exercise of stock options of $1.1 million.
We currently do not have any debt and our only material cash commitments
are related to our office leases. We have an operating lease covering our
corporate office facility that expires in February 2012. We also have several
operating leases related to offices in foreign countries. The expiration dates
for these leases range from 2007 through 2015. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our current balance of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, and expected cash flows from operations will be
sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISKS. Our return on our investments in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities is subject to interest rate risks. We regularly assess
these risks and have established policies and business practices to manage the
market risk of our marketable securities. If interest rates were to change by
10% from the levels at June 30, 2007, the effect on our financial results would
be insignificant.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK. We have several offices outside the United States.
Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign
currency exchange rates. The effect of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations have not been material since our inception. If foreign currency
exchange rates were to change by 10% from the levels at June 30, 2007, the
effect on our other comprehensive income would be insignificant. We do not use
derivative financial instruments to limit our foreign currency risk exposure.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and,
based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are
effective. No changes in the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, asserted or unasserted,
which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of any such
matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that such matters will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating
results.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are affected by risks specific to us as well as factors that affect all
businesses operating in a global market. The significant factors known to us
that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or
operating results are set forth in Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006 (the "2006 10-K"). The information below sets
forth additional risk factors or risk factors that have had material changes
since the 2006 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with Item 1A of the 2006
10-K.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON CERTAIN KEY CUSTOMERS AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR
RECEIVABLES IS CONCENTRATED WITH TWO CUSTOMERS.
We tend to have one or more customers account for 10% or more of our
revenues during each fiscal quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we had
one customer who accounted for 26% of our revenues and one customer who
accounted for 14% of our revenues. While we believe that we will continue to
receive revenue from these customers, our agreements do not have any minimum
sales requirements and we cannot guarantee continued revenue. If our contracts
with either of these customers terminate, or if the volume of sales from these
customers significantly declines, it would have a material adverse effect on our
operating results.
In addition, as of June 30, 2007, two customers accounted for a total of
25% of our outstanding receivables, 15% and 10%, respectively. While we
currently have no reason to doubt the collectibility of these receivables, a
business failure or reorganization by either of these customers could harm our
ability to collect these receivables and could damage our cash flow.
OUR FUTURE QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH COULD CAUSE
OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.
Our previous results are not necessarily indicative of our future
performance and our future quarterly results may fluctuate significantly.
Historically, information technology spending has been higher in the fourth
and second quarters of each calendar year, and somewhat slower in the other
quarters, particularly the first quarter. Our quarterly results reflected this
seasonality in first and second quarters of 2007, and we anticipate that our
quarterly results for the remainder of 2007 will show the effects of seasonality
as well.
Our future performance will depend on many factors, including:
o the timing of securing software license contracts and the delivery of
software and related revenue recognition;
o the seasonality of information technology, including network storage products
spending;
o the average unit selling price of our products;
o existing or new competitors introducing better products at competitive prices
before we do;
o our ability to manage successfully the complex and difficult process of
qualifying our products with our customers;
26
o new products or enhancements from us or our competitors;
o import or export restrictions on our proprietary technology; and
o personnel changes.
Many of our expenses are relatively fixed and difficult to reduce or
modify. As a result, the fixed nature of our expenses will magnify any adverse
effect of a decrease in revenue on our operating results.
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE
The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may
be volatile in the future. For example, during the trailing twelve months ended
June 30, 2007, the closing market price of our common stock as quoted on the
NASDAQ Global Market fluctuated between $6.06 and $12.10 per share. The market
price of our common stock may be significantly affected by the following
factors:
o actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
o variance in actual results as compared to financial estimates;
o changes in market valuations of other technology companies, particularly
those in the network storage software market;
o announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations,
acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
o loss or addition of one or more key OEM customers; and
o departures of key personnel.
The stock market has experienced extreme volatility that often has been
unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations
may cause our stock price to fall regardless of our performance.
WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, THE EXERCISE OF WHICH
WOULD DILUTE THE THEN-EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS' PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP OF OUR
COMMON STOCK, AND A SMALLER NUMBER OF RESTRICTED SHARES OF STOCK, THE VESTING
OF WHICH WILL ALSO DILUTE THE THEN-EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS' PERCENTAGE
OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
As of June 30, 2007, we had an aggregate of 9,856,588 outstanding options
to purchase our common stock and outstanding restricted shares. If all of these
outstanding options were exercised, and all of the outstanding restricted stock
vested, the proceeds to the Company would average $5.76 per share. We also had
903,689 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our stock plans
with respect to options (or restricted stock) that have not been granted
(excluding an additional 2,170,731 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
under the 2006 Plan as of July 1, 2007, see Note 2 to the financial statements.)
On August 7, 2007, 66,000 of the restricted shares vested.
The exercise of all of the outstanding options and/or the grant and
exercise of additional options or restricted stock would dilute the
then-existing stockholders' percentage ownership of common stock, and any sales
in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such exercise could
adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock. Moreover, the
terms upon which we would be able to obtain additional equity capital could be
adversely affected because the holders of such securities can be expected to
exercise or convert them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to
obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable than those provided by such
securities.
27
THE ABILITY TO CORRECTLY PREDICT OUR FUTURE EFFECTIVE TAX RATES COULD IMPACT
OUR ABILITY TO ACCURATELY FORECAST FUTURE EARNINGS.
We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and the various
foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Judgment is required in determining
our provision for income taxes and there are many transactions and calculations
where the tax determination may be uncertain. Our future effective tax rates
could be affected by changes in our (i) earnings or losses; (ii) changes in the
valuation of our deferred tax assets; (iii) changes in tax laws; and (iv) other
factors. Our ability to correctly predict our future effective tax rates based
upon these possible changes could significantly impact our forecasted earnings.
UNKNOWN FACTORS
Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware or which
currently we deem immaterial also may become important factors that affect us.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On August 6, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved amendments to
the employment agreement between ReiJane Huai and the Company. These amendments
were made as a result of recent guidance on Section 409(A) of the Internal
Revenue Code provided by the Internal Revenue Service. The amendments do not
have any impact on the value of payments that Mr. Huai may receive under the
agreement.
On August 6, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved amendments to
the FalconStor Software, Inc., 2005 Key Executive Severance Protection Plan (the
"Plan"). Most of these amendments were made as a result of recent guidance on
Section 409(A) of the Internal Revenue Code provided by the Internal Revenue
Service and do not result in any change in the amount payable to any participant
in the Plan. One amendment provides that upon a Change of Control, as defined in
the Plan, all restrictions on any shares of restricted Company stock held by any
Participant shall automatically lapse.
On August 6, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment
to Section 9.1 of the Company By-Laws. The amendment was made to conform to a
recent rule passed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that requires that
all listed securities on the NASDAQ be eligible for a Direct Registration
Program ("DRP") operated by a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of
28
the Exchange Act. The amendment provides for the issuance of the Company's stock
to meet the requirements of NASDAQ's DRP.
On August 7, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors made grants of restricted shares of Company Common Stock to certain
