Trend Micro Announces Second Quarter Consolidated Results

 

Tokyo, Japan – July 29th, 2003—Trend Micro Inc (TSE: 4704; Nasdaq: TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, today reported results in US GAAP for the second quarter 2003, ended June 30, 2003. Trend Micro posted consolidated net sales of 11.4 billion yen, (or US $95.7 million¹), operating income of 2.9 billion yen (or US $24.0 million) and net income of 1.6 billion yen (or US $13.2 million). The figures for the quarter reflect gains of 6% in sales compared with the same period a year ago and 4% sequentially.

 

Both of enterprise products and consumer products grew year over year, and all regions worldwide experienced growth compared to the same quarter a year ago.

 

“We are pleased to announce solid results considering the current landscape of overall IT spending,” said Steve Chang, Chairman and CEO of Trend Micro. “This quarter, we continued to see revenue growth from large enterprise customers, as well as growth in deferred revenues primarily driven by the U.S. market. We also continue to gain recognition for our Enterprise Protection Strategy (EPS), and remain committed to bringing new products and services to further deliver the value of EPS to our customers.”

 

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter ending September are expected to be 11.5 billion Yen (or US $96.6 million). Operating income and net income are expected to be 3.1 billion yen (or US $26.1 million) and 1.75 billion Yen (or US $14.7 million), respectively.

 

Second Quarter Business Highlights

 

·   Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy received Network Magazine’s 2003 Product of the Year Award in the antivirus category for corporate antivirus software. The company was also honored with e-Pro Magazine’s Apex Award for ScanMail for IBM Lotus Notes. Trend Micro ServerProtect for Linux was rated best performing solution in Virus Bulletin’s Red Hat Linux Comparative Review.

 

·   Trend Micro earned certification from the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) for InterScan VirusWall 3.5 for NT and InterScan VirusWall 3.6 for Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux. Trend Micro is the only vendor to earn NIAP certification for antivirus products, thereby meeting the rigorous global standards laid down in the new Government Guidelines, which specify that IT products be NIAP-certified for high security installations.

 

·   In Japan, Trend Micro reached a milestone of 2.5 million users of VirusBuster, Trend Micro’s consumer antivirus solution in Japan. Other major customer additions during the quarter included a 1.1 million-user deal with the U.S. Army Chief Technology Office.

(Note)

Since the business environment surrounding Trend Micro Group tends to fluctuate in the short run, it is difficult to make the highly reliable projection figures on a yearly basis. We, therefore, decided to announce the earnings on a quarterly basis in the fiscal year ending in December 2003 as well as earnings projection of the succeeding quarter.

 

If we found through our calculation conducted from time to time that the net sales fluctuate from the most recent quarterly projection by more than 10%, or operating income or net income fluctuates by more than 30%, we will announce the revision of the earnings projection.

(Note) Since the business environment surrounding Trend Micro Group tends to fluctuate in the short run, it is difficult to make the highly reliable projection figures on a yearly basis. We, therefore, decided to announce the earnings on a quarterly basis in the fiscal year ending in December 2003 as well as earnings projection of the succeeding quarter.

 

If we found through our calculation conducted from time to time that the net sales fluctuate from the most recent quarterly projection by more than 10%, or operating income or net income fluctuates by more than 30%, we will announce the revision of the earnings projection.

2.    Business Policy and Business Performance

 

Basic Policy on Group Management

 

Under the vision of “A world safe for exchanging digital information”, we provide solutions to prevent malicious contents such as computer viruses from invading corporate networks and PCs used at home, aiming at realizing safe digital network society.

 

Network systems, including the Internet, have been making their way deeper into corporate activities and home lives. On the other hand, the exploits of computer viruses for penetration have been further sophisticated and getting wicked, causing serious troubles for network users. There are also other troubles that the functionality and convenience provided by networks are degraded by unsolicited contents such as SPAM e-mails and bad URLs (web sites that carry obscene contents).

 

Under such circumstances, the needs that corporate and individual network users expect security vendors to meet have changed to deeper and larger ones. The role of our group has advanced to a stage to provide comprehensive security solutions by adding high-value-added services, rather than merely developing and selling security products.

 

Our group will try to contribute to the development of information-oriented society not only in Japan but also on a global scale through such businesses.

 

Basic Policy on the Distribution of Profits

 

To cope with rapidly changing business environment and maintain our competitiveness against competitors, we have put off paying dividends, except for the commemorative dividends for the fiscal year ended in December 1998 when we went public, to accumulate retained earnings and build up a strong financial structure as one of our most important management challenges.

 

However, as the amount of our retained earnings has been substantially increased by the expansion of our business scale in recent years and a subsequent increase in our profits, we had a change of mind that it is possible to pay dividends and at the same time to strengthen our financial structure, and plan to start paying dividends from the fiscal year ending in December 2003. As for our present policy on dividends, we plan to set 20% of consolidated net income as a base for the dividends and determine actual dividends per share based on share buyback plan and retained earnings available for dividends within the limits set by the Japanese Commercial Code.

 

Basic Policy on the Trading lots for Shares

 

We recognize that it is important to ensure the liquidity of our stock, and we believe that the present liquidity is maintained at a reasonable level. We believe that costly reduction in investment unit under such circumstances does not necessarily contribute to the benefits of all of our shareholders.

 

We would like to study the investment unit of our stock, taking continuously into consideration the profits of our shareholders, effects on the liquidity of our stock, etc.

 

Corporate Governance

 

We operate our business management system based on the recognition that it is important to quickly cope with the changes in the business environment where we are involved, and to ensure the transparency and soundness of management.

 

Our Board of Directors is composed of five Directors. Its system allows Board meetings to be held in a maneuverable manner so that decisions can be made quickly. Moreover, one of the five directors is recruited from outside to strengthen the supervising functions so that the Board of Directors can be operated in a proper manner.

 

All of our four Corporate Auditors are recruited from outside, aiming at allowing them to check the status of operation of the Board of Directors and the status of performance of Directors’ duties from an objective point of view.

 

Challenges to be Addressed by the Company

 

Because of the deterioration of economic prospects in North America and Europe as well as the lingering economic slump in Japan, corporate investments in information systems have shown signs of a slowdown. The business environment where we are involved is also affected by the reduction in such investments, and the circumstances do not allow us to be optimistic at all.

 

However, many companies are now becoming increasingly dependent on networks, including e-mail systems. Under such circumstances, the scale of opportunity loss in case of system down of company network is increasing to a much larger amount of money compared with system failures in several years ago. Therefore, the measures for network security, including measures against viruses, are expected to further increase their significance. We believe we can expect the scale of the market for such measures to steadily expand in the medium-to-long term. To cope with the expansion of such a market, we plan to promote recruiting and securing of the necessary human resources at our company and overseas subsidiaries, and establish a secure footing of management. At the same time, we plan to improve our corporate brand power and expand our sales channels.

 

The speed of technological innovation of the business that we are involved in is very fast. It is pointed out that wider use of open platforms such as broadband, mobile communications, Linux, etc., is likely to change the present network environment. In order for us to keep our competitive advantage over leading American competitors, it is necessary to cope timely with the external environment that changes with such technological innovation.

 

The advent of new types of viruses such as “NIMDA” that appeared two years ago had a great impact on what the measures against viruses ought to be. These viruses that have multiple ways of infection not only spread damage in a short period of time with their strong infectious power, but also allow themselves to infect again and again, if even one infected PC remains in a network. For these reasons, conventional measures against viruses such as search and disinfection with virus pattern files delivered are no longer good enough.

 


Table of Contents

To protect corporate information assets from threats of such complex viruses, we have set up our new and original antivirus initiative called the “Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy (Trend Micro EPS)” that can reduce the virus infection damage and cost of antivirus measures by totally supporting a series of processes from the emergence to end of viruses.

 

Our products compliant with this “Trend Micro EPS” are added with a function to take measures against virus infection before virus pattern files are distributed, and a function to prevent reinfection by promptly disinfecting viruses that are left in PCs within networks or in servers. With these functions, corporate users will be able to cope with the attack of new viruses in shorter period of time, and reduce the cost of antivirus measures through our support to efficiently restore networks, even if virus invasion could not be prevented.

 

While the values of corporate network environments and corporate information assets are further increasing their significance, the threat of viruses is also rapidly changing. Under such circumstances, we have maintained our competitive advantages in the present corporate user market by developing strategies and methods of measures against new viruses always ahead of competitors, and providing the products and services that meet the needs of users. At the same time, we aim to increase our market shares by finding new areas of sales activities and new customer segments.

 

Operating Results

 

Amid sluggish growth in the IT-related demand in Japan, the United States and Europe due to the reduction in corporate investments in computerization, etc., the environment where we are involved was hostile during this semi-annual period. In the medium-to-long term, there are no changes in our prospects that many companies will continuously invest in promotion of networking, reviews of main operation systems, etc., and the business that we are engaged in is expected to remain steady. However, the impact of restrained investment is now spreading to network security that has been regarded as a high priority of investment in computerization.

 

In Japan, “Virus Buster (PC-cillin)” series, products for the consumer market, increased its sales, and sales of antivirus products for file servers and client PCs of corporate users remained steady.

 

In the North American region, new sources of revenues such as an extra-fee support service called “Premium Support Program” are increasing their revenues. But net sales to third parties for this semi-annual period in the North America decreased from the same period last year because large enterprises that account for the largest share of our customers in this region restrain their investments in security as well as the impact of fluctuations in exchange.

 

In Europe, antivirus products for upper hierarchy levels of the network such as gateway servers and mail servers continued to increase their sales for this semi-annual period, and sales of products for file servers and client PCs also increased as we expanded our customer segments to medium-sized enterprises.

 

As a result, consolidated net sales for this semi-annual period amounted to 22,310 million yen (up 8.8% from the same period last year).

 

As for expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 14,959 million yen (up 15.4% from the same period last year) because of an increase in the expenses of marketing division due to the introduction of sales training programs for our new products compliant with the “Trend Micro EPS” as well as an increase in number of employees worldwide. As a result, consolidated operating income for this semi-annual period amounted to 5,822 million yen (down 8.3% from the same period last year), and consolidated net income to 3,308 million yen (down 9.5%).

 

As for the performance in breakdown by locational segments: net sales in Japan amounted to 14,434 million yen (up 13.7% from the same period last year) and operating income to 10,749 million yen (up 9.7%); net sales in North America amounted to 7,316 million yen ( up 0.6%) and operating income to 468 million yen (down 48.2%); net sales in Europe amounted to 5,474 million yen (up 16.3%) and operating income to 102 million yen; net sales in the Asia Pacific amounted to 3,704 million yen (up 5.1%) and operating income to 259 million yen; (up 23.2%) and net sales in Latin America amounted to 675 million yen (up 11.9%) and operating income to 102 million yen (up 142.0%).

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash flows from operating activities for this semi-annual period provided by 7.5 billion yen because of net income of 3.3 billion yen for the period, etc., while cash flows from investing activities used by 7.1 billion yen because of purchases of marketable securities, etc. Cash flows from financing activities used by 6.2 billion yen because of the redemption of our bonds, etc. As a result of adding effect of exchange rate changes, the balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the semi-annual period amounted to 42.7 billion yen, decreased by 5.2 billion yen from at the end of the previous fiscal year.

 

Earnings Projection

 

Since the business environment surrounding us tends to fluctuate in the short run, it is difficult to make the highly reliable projection figures on an annual basis. We, therefore, decided to announce the earnings on a quarterly basis in the fiscal year ending in December 2003 as well as earnings projection of the succeeding quarter.

 

If we found through our calculation conducted from time to time that revised projected net sales fluctuate from the most recent quarterly projection by more than 10%, or revised projected operating income or net income fluctuates by more than 30%, we will announce the revision of the earnings projection.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.    Accounting Principles, Accounting Procedures and Method for Presenting Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”), Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus (“EITF”) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”). The company listed on the NASDAQ in July 1999, and prepares its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the terminology, forms and preparation methods required in order to issue American Depositary Shares, which are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their books and records in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), and its foreign subsidiaries in conformity with those of the country of their domicile. The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in a manner and reflect certain adjustments that are necessary to conform them with U.S. GAAP.

 

The significant differences between accounting principles, accounting procedures and method of presentation which are adopted by the company and its subsidiaries and those in Japan are as follows. In addition to an explanation of the differences, the approximate amount of each effect on income before income taxes under Japanese GAAP is shown if it is material.

 

(1)   The Company and subsidiaries account for the retirement benefit plan in accordance with FAS No. 87 “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”.
  1)   FAS No. 87 considers minimum pension liability (MPL) when calculating accrued pension cost.
  2)   The difference, when FAS No. 87 is first applied, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period. However, the Company’s financial statement is prepared in local Japan GAAP, and following the Japan GAAP, we have amortized all the amount of difference initially in the first year of application.

 

(2)   Disclosure of unusual profit and loss

 

In Japan GAAP, the loss on disposal of fixed assets is accrued in “unusual profit and loss”. We have disclosed this amount in “Other incomes (expenses)” in our financial statement.

 

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies

 

(1)    Significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and those of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Investments in affiliated companies (20 to 50 percent-owned companies) in which the ability to exercise significant influence exists are stated at cost plus the equity in undistributed earnings (losses). Net consolidated income includes the company’s equity in the current net earnings (losses) of such companies, after elimination of unrealized intercompany profit.

Translation of foreign currencies

 

All asset and liability accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at year-end rates of exchange and all income and expense accounts are translated at rates of exchange that approximate to those prevailing at the time of the transactions. The resulting translation adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are translated into Japanese yen at year-end rates of exchange and the resulting translation gains or losses are taken into current income.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from product revenue, which includes software product license and post-contract customer support services. Other revenue is composed of hardware revenue, royalty revenue and supplementary services. Royalty revenue is represented by the fee via ‘Application service provider’ and ‘Internet service provider’ and supplementary services is represented by the services based on ‘Premium support program’ and ‘Service level agreement’. Product revenue includes the type of limited sales of our products to other companies for inclusion in their products.

 

The Company licenses its software products under perpetual licenses. The Company sells its products and services via its direct sales force and through domestic and foreign intermediaries.

 

The Company applies the provisions of SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” to all transactions involving the sale of software products and hardware transactions where software is not incidental. For hardware transactions where software is not incidental, the Company does not bifurcate the fee and apply separate accounting guidance to the hardware and software elements.

 

Revenue from the Company’s software product license and hardware where software is not incidental is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, is reasonably assured. Post-contract customer support services revenue which includes virus pattern updates, product version updates, telephone and online technical support and free use of our 24-hour service centers and supplementary services revenue are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period. The Company allocates revenue to post-contract customer support services based on the fair value of the post-contract customer support services, which are determined based on separate sales of renewals to customers. Royalty revenue is recognized as earned unless collection of the related receivables is not assured and it is recognized upon receipt of cash if collection is not assured.


Table of Contents

For all sales, the Company uses either a binding purchase order or signed license agreement as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our intermediaries are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with binding purchase orders on a transaction by transaction basis.

 

At the time of the transaction, the Company assesses whether the fee associated with our revenue transactions is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from the invoice date, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from our customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from sales to intermediaries when products have been delivered. At this time it depends on each transaction whether the Company or the intermediaries have either a binding purchase order or signed license agreement of their end-users. After sale, the Company may approve certain returns from intermediaries or end-users. Therefore, the Company makes an estimate of returns from intermediaries or end-users based on its historical experience. The provision for estimated returns is recorded as a reduction to revenue. It is ordinary that returns from intermediaries result from holding neither a binding purchase order nor signed license agreement of their end-users. These returns primarily result from retail package sales.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

 

Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities consist of debt and equity securities. Debt and equity securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included as a component of shareholders’ equity, net of applicable taxes. Debt securities designated as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. Individual securities classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are reduced to net realizable value for other than temporary declines in market value. Realized gains and losses, which are determined on the average cost method, are reflected in income.

 

Inventories

 

Finished products and raw materials are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value. Work in process is stated at accumulated production costs.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed on the declining-balance method for the parent company and on the straight-line method for foreign subsidiaries at rates based on estimated useful lives of the assets according to general class, type of construction and use. Estimated useful lives range from 3 to 5 years for office furniture and equipment, and from 4 to 24 for other properties.

 

Goodwill and intangibles

 

From the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No.142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” which supersedes APB No. 17 “Intangible assets.” FAS No.142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill, requires annual impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life intangible assets. The new rule also prohibits the amortization of goodwill associated with business combinations that close after June 30, 2001. This new requirement will impact future period net income by an amount adjusted for any differences between the old and new rules for defining intangible assets on future business combinations. Although FAS No.142 requires to perform an initial transition impairment test in 2002, the Company did not have any goodwill balances as of June 30, December 31, 2002 and June 2003, respectively. The adoption of FAS No.142 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Intangibles, which mainly consist of software development costs and purchased software, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the current estimated economic lives of the products, generally up to a twelve-month period for software development costs and a five-year period for purchased software and other intangibles.

 

Long-lived assets

 

From the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No.144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. FAS No. 144 addresses significant issues relating to the implementation of FAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of”, and develops a single accounting model, based on the framework established in FAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether such assets are or are not deemed to be a business. FAS No. 144 also modifies the accounting and reporting rules for discontinued operations. The adoption of FAS No.144 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Research and development costs and software development costs

 

All costs relating to research and development, to establish the technological feasibility of software products, are expensed as incurred. Under the Company’s software development process, technological feasibility is established on completing all substantial testing for the original English language version of the software. Local language versions of software, such as Japanese or Chinese, are produced from the English language version, by adding Japanese language or Chinese language related functions. Production costs for such local language versions of software product masters, incurred subsequent to the availability of original English language version software, are capitalized. Production costs of the local language software product masters, which include direct labor and overhead costs, are amortized to cost of sales using the straight-line method over the current estimated economic lives of the products, generally up to twelve months.

 

Management considers the Company’s capitalized software development costs to be fully recoverable from future product sales. Management estimates are based upon supporting facts and circumstances, and may be significantly impacted based upon subsequent changes in business conditions.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based incentive awards in accordance with the intrinsic value method as per APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company complies with the disclosure provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

 

In December 2002, FASB issued FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” FAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

 

Further, FAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. From the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002, the Company adopted this standard.

 

Income taxes

 

The current provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income included in the consolidated statement of income. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company has a policy not to utilize any derivative financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. In accordance with the policy, the parent company and its subsidiaries did not employ any derivative financial instruments.

 

However ipTrend, which was acquired in 2000, had entered into an interest rate swap arrangement and a cap arrangement to manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its debt from fixed to variable rates. Subsequent to the acquisition in 2000, ipTrend repaid the underlying hedged debt without settling the interest rate swap and cap arrangements. In 2001, the parent company assumed an interest rate swap and cap arrangements upon the liquidation of ipTrend in December 2001. Those arrangements, which did not qualify for hedge accounting, were marked to market.


Table of Contents

The Company adopted FAS No.133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by FAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities.” FAS No.133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Specifically, FAS No.133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either shareholders’ equity or net income depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity. The adoption of the new standard did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Net income per share

 

Basic net income per share is computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share assumes the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock. Net income per share is appropriately adjusted for any stock splits or free distributions of common stock.

 

Free distribution of common stock

 

On occasion, the Company made a free distribution of common stock to its shareholders which was accounted for either by a transfer of the applicable par value from additional paid-in capital to the common stock account or with no entry if free shares were distributed from the portion of previously issued shares accounted for as excess of par value in the common stock account in accordance with the Japanese Commercial Code. However, as a result of the amendments to the Japanese Commercial Code in 2001 where the concept of par-value of shares was eliminated effective from October 1, 2001, a free distribution of common stock to its shareholders is accounted for with no accounting entry. Under the Japanese Commercial Code, a stock dividend which is paid out of profits can be effected by an appropriation of retained earnings to the common stock account by resolution of the general shareholders’ meeting, followed by a free distribution with respect to the amount as appropriated by resolution of the Board of Directors.

 

Common stock issue costs

 

Common stock issue costs are directly charged to retained earnings, net of tax, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the Japanese Commercial Code prohibits charging such stock issue costs to capital accounts, which is the prevailing practice in the United States of America.

 

Comprehensive income

 

Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as adjustments to shareholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive income primarily comprises unrealized gains on debt and equity securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Market and credit risks

 

The anti-virus software market is characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards in computer hardware and software technology. In addition, the markets for the Company’s products are highly competitive and rapidly changing. The Company could incur substantial operating losses if it is unable to offer products, which address technological and market place change in the anti-virus software industry.

 

Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company invests primarily in time deposits, money market funds and marketable securities and places its investments with high quality financial institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, if any, based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable.

 

(2)    Recent pronouncements:

 

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” This Issue provides guidance on when and how to separate elements of an arrangement that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and rights to use assets into separate units of accounting. The guidance in the consensus is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will adopt EITF No. 00-21 in the second half beginning July 1, 2003. The transition provision allows either prospective application or a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.


Table of Contents

In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN No. 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN No. 46 clarifies the application of ARB No. 51 and applies immediately to Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) created after January 31, 2003 and to VIEs in which an interest is obtained after that date. FIN No. 46 also requires disclosure of VIEs in all financial statements initially issued after January 31, 2003, if it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a VIE when this interpretation becomes effective, regardless of the date on which the VIE was created. The Company does not have any entities that require disclosure or new consolidation as a result of adopting the provisions of the interpretation.

 

In April 2003, FASB issued FAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” FAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Except for certain provisions, FAS No. 149 is to be applied prospectively to contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and to hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2003, FASB issued FAS No. 150, “Financial Statement on Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Liabilities and Equity.” FAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the statement of financial position. Further, FAS No. 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. FAS No. 150 is generally to be applied to all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Based on the Company’s incentive plans, the parent company issued unsecured bonds with detachable warrants and bought all of the warrants at the same time for the purpose of distributing such instruments to the directors and certain employees of the parent company and its subsidiaries as a part of their remuneration.

 

The Japanese Commercial Code, restricts redemptions and extinguishments of these bonds in case the amount of each outstanding bond is less than the aggregate amount of exercise price of each outstanding warrant. Therefore, in order to reduce interest costs, the parent company repurchased a part of the bonds through market with an intention to hold the treasury bonds until they can be extinguished legally. However, as the repurchase transaction is deemed as redemption of the bonds in substance, the treasury bonds are offset with the bonds on the face of consolidated balance sheets. Losses on the repurchase transaction were (Yen)8,800 thousand and were charged to income as other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002. There are no repurchase transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

8.    Derivative instruments

 

The Company has a policy not to utilize any derivative financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. In accordance with the policy, the parent company and its subsidiaries did not employ any derivative financial instruments.

 

However, ipTrend, which was acquired in 2000, had entered into an interest rate swap arrangement and a cap arrangement to manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its debt from fixed to variable rates. Subsequent to the acquisition in 2000, ipTrend repaid the underlying hedged debt without settling the interest rate swap and cap arrangements. In 2001, the parent company assumed an interest rate swap and cap arrangements upon the liquidation of ipTrend in December 2001. Those arrangements, which did not qualify for hedge accounting, were marked to market with changes in value recognized in other income or expense.

 

At June 30, 2002, the notional principal amount of the interest rate swap arrangement and the interest rate cap arrangement were (Yen)200,000 thousand and (Yen)100,000 thousand, respectively and the aggregate carrying amount of the arrangements and the related fair value were a credit balance of (Yen)8,722 thousand. At December 31, 2002, the notional principal amount of the interest rate swap arrangement and the interest rate cap arrangement were (Yen)200,000 thousand and (Yen)100,000 thousand, respectively and the aggregate carrying amount of the arrangements and the related fair value were a credit balance of (Yen)7,493 thousand. At June 30, 2003, the notional principal amount of the interest rate swap arrangement and the interest rate cap arrangement were (Yen)200,000 thousand and (Yen)100,000 thousand, respectively and the aggregate carrying amount of the arrangements and the related fair value were a credit balance of (Yen)5,971 thousand.

Table of Contents

Significant accounting policies and practices for preparing non-consolidated semi-annual financial statemens.

 

1. Accounting for evaluation of securities

 

(1)    Securities

–       Investments in affilates and in subsidiaries

Moving average cost method

 

–       Available-for-sale

Available-for-sale with fair market value:

The securities are stated at the market value method based on the value at the end of the period (valuated differences are recognized in equity directly, not to reflect to net earnings and cost of selling is determined by the weighted average method).

 

–       Availalble-for-sale without a market value:

The securities are stated at the weighted average cost.

 

(2)    The transaction of derivatives

The market value method

 

(3)    Inventories

Finished goods – Raw materials – Supplies

Moving average cost method

 

Work in process

Work in process is stated at the cost being determined by accumulated production and development cost for individual projects.

2. Depreciation and amortization method for fixed assets

 

(1)    Property and equipment

Declining-balance method

Useful life and salvage value of the fixed assets are determined using the standard which is regulated by corporate tax law.

Building (excluding facilities and leasehold improvement) acquired after April 1, 1998 are depreciated by a straight – line method.

 

(2)    Intangibles

<Software for mass sale>

Straight – line method over the estimated useful lives (12 months).

 

<Software for internal use>

Straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (5 years).

 

<Other intangibles>

Straight-line method

Depreciation years are determined using the standard which is regulated by corporate tax law

3. Accounting for deferred assets

 

Issueing costs of stocks and bonds are charged to expenses when incurred.


Table of Contents

4. Accounting policies for provisions

 

(1)    Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

As contingency against losses from default of note and account receivable, the allowance for doubtful accounts is provided. The amount is determined using a percentage based on own actual doubtful account loss against total of debts and an amount, which takes into consideration the possibility of recovering specific liabilities.

 

(2)    Allowance for sales return

 

In order to reserve future losses from sales return subsequent to the fiscal year end, allowance for sales return is provided based on the past experience in the sales return.

 

(3)    Allowance for retirement benefits

 

In order to reserve future losses araising from retirement of employees, allowance for retirement benefits is provided based on retirement benefit liabilities at the end of the period under reviewing.

Actuarial gain and loss are all expensed in the following accounting period.

5. Translation of major foreign-currency assets and liabilities into Yen.

  Foreign-currency financial receivables and liabilities are translated into yen at the spot rate effective at the end of the period. Exchange differential is treated as a profit/loss.

6. Revenue recognition policy

 

Revenue recognition method for Post Contract Customer Support Service

 

Basically, the product license agreement contracted with the end-user states the article for PCS (customer support and upgrading of products and its pattern files). The company adopts the following revenue recognition method for the portion of PCS. Portion of PCS revenue is recognized separately from total revenue and it is deferred as deferred revenues under current liabilities and non-current liabilities based on contracted period. Deferred revenue is finally recognized for the contracted period evenly.

7. Accounting for leased assets

 

Finance leases without transfer of ownership of the leased assets are accounted for in the same manner as applied for operating leases.


Table of Contents

8. Other important matters for preparing semi-annual financial statements

 

(1)    Consumption tax

   

Transactions subject to consumption tax are stated at the amount net of the related consumption tax.

   

(2)    Accounting for stock warrants that was granted to some officers and employees.

   

The Company has adopted incentive plans where warrants to purchase parent company’s shares are granted to directors and certain employees after parent company issues bonds with detachable warrants and immediately repurchases all of the warants. Compensation costs are measured at repurchase costs of warrant securities at the point of grant because that is only one of the compensation scheme which grants warrants to directors and employees. Warrant portion of the bonds is recored as “warrant account” upon issuance and then transferred to “additional paid-in capital” upon exercise.

   

In addition, the Company has adopted incentive plans of Stock Option (Subscription right method) for directors and certain employees of the Company based on pre-revised section 280-19-1 of the Business Law and section 9-1 of the Industrial Revitalization Special Measures Law and the incentive plans of Stock Option (Stock acquisition rights method) for directors and certain employees of the company based on section 280-20 and 280-21 of the Business Law. The company doesn’t recognize compensation cost and transactions due to this scheme.

   

(3)    Accounting method for treasury stock and reduction of legal reserves

   

Effective from the first half of current fiscal year, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No.1: “Accounting Standards for Treasury Stock and Reduction of Legal Reserves”. Adoption of this new standard had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

   

(4)    Per share information

   

Effective from the first half of current fiscal year, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No.2: “Accounting Standards for Earnings per Share” and Financial Accounting Standards Implementation Guidance No.4: “Implementation Guidance for Accounting Standards for Earnings per Share”, issued by the Accouting Standards Board of Japan. Retroactive per share information is described in the “Per Share Data” section.

In order for the warrants to be granted or transferred to the directors and certain employees of the Company and the directors and certain employees of the affiliated company, the Company issued unsecured bonds with detachable warrants. Under section pre-revised 341-8-4 of Japanese Commercial Code, the redemption and retirement of these bonds are restricted when total amount of bonds is less than the total amount of issue price of the stocks from unexecuted warrants.
