NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

 The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Perficient, Inc. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, as amended. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued To Employees, and (“APB 25”), which allows the use of the intrinsic value method.  The Company’s basis for electing accounting treatment under APB 25 is principally due to the incorporation of the dilutive effect of these shares in the reported earnings per share calculation and the presence of pro forma supplemental disclosure of the estimated fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.  The fair value of options was calculated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months and six ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 respectively: risk free interest rate of 3.5% and 2.98%; dividend yield of 0%; weighted-average expected life of options of 5 years; and a volatility factor of 1.066 and 1.515.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and which are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models in general require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different than traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of its stock options.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are primarily derived from professional services provided on a time and materials basis. For time and material contracts, revenue is recognized and billed by multiplying the number of hours expended in the performance of the contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects, revenue is generally recognized using the proportionate performance method based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a contract-by-contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Billings in excess of costs plus earnings are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects the Company is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred. In accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, revenue from software sales is recorded on a gross basis based on the Company’s role as principal in the transaction. As provided in EITF 99-19 criteria to be considered “principal”, the Company is the primary obligator and bears the associated credit risk in the transaction. In the event the Company does not meet the requirements to be considered a principal in the software sale transaction and acts as an agent, the revenue would be recorded on a net basis.

Intangible assets, primarily resulting from purchased business combinations, are being amortized using the straight-line method with a life of two to three years for employment and non-compete agreements and a life of three to five years for customer relationship intangibles.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

 

2.   Segment Information

 

The Company operates as a single segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the consolidated level.

7.  Business Combinations

 

Acquisition of Genisys Consulting, Inc.

 

On April 2, 2004, the Company consummated the acquisition of Genisys Consulting, Inc, a privately held company for approximately $8.8 million, consisting of approximately $1.5 million in cash, transaction costs of approximately $0.5 million, approximately 1.7 million shares of Perficient’s common stock valued at $3.77 per share and stock options valued at approximately $0.4 million.

 

The total purchase consideration of $8.8 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Such preliminary allocation resulted in Goodwill of approximately $7.4 million. Goodwill is assigned at the enterprise level and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price was allocated to intangibles based on an independent appraisal and management’s estimate.  Management expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the next twelve months.

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

 

Intangibles:

 

 

 

Customer relationships

 

$

1.1 million

 

Non-compete agreements

 

0.4 million

 

Customer Backlog

 

0.2 million

(0.3)million

 

 

 

 

 

Net assets acquired

 

$

8.8 million

 

 

The Company believes that the intangible assets acquired have useful lives of nine months to eight years.

 

Acquisition of Meritage Technologies, Inc.

 

On June 18, 2004, the Company consummated the acquisition of Meritage Technologies, Inc., a privately held company for approximately $10.3 million, consisting of approximately $2.9 million in cash, $ 2.4 of liabilities repaid on behalf of Meritage Technologies, Inc., transaction costs of approximately $0.8 million, approximately  1.2 million shares of Perficient’s common stock valued at approximately $3.595 per share.

 

11



 

The total purchase price consideration of $ 10.3 million, including transaction costs of $ 0.8 million, have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Such preliminary allocation resulted in Goodwill of approximately $ 7.3 million. Goodwill is assigned at the enterprise level and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price was allocated to intangibles based on management’s estimate with assistance from an independent appraisal firm. Management expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the next twelve months.

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

 

Intangibles:

$

0.3 million

 

Non-compete agreements

 

1.5 million

Add fair value of assets acquired in excess of Liabilties

 

1.2 million

 

 

 

 

 

Net assets acquired

 

$

10.3 million

 

 

The Company believes that the intangible assets acquired have useful lives of five years. Accrued exit costs of approximately $0.2 million relate to lease obligations for excess office space that the Company has vacated or intends to vacate under the approved facilities exit plan. The estimated costs of vacating these leased facilities, including estimated costs to sub-lease, and sub-lease income were based on market information and trend analysis as estimated by the Company. It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from these estimates in the near term.

 

Accrued severance of $0.2 million relates to severance and related payroll taxes for certain employees of Meritage Technologies, Inc. impacted by the approved plan of termination.

 

The company acquired deferred tax assets of approximately $1.9 million. These assets primarily relate to net losses incurred by Meritage Technologies, Inc. prior to the acquisition. The Company has placed a full valuation allowance on these assets given the level of cumulative historical losses for both Meritage Technologies, Inc. and the Company.

9.    Borrowings

 

We have a line of credit arrangement with Silicon Valley Bank that will expire in December 2004. The agreement allows us to borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable as defined in the credit agreement up to a maximum of $6.0 million. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants under this agreement, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $3,000,000 and to maintain a ratio of cash plus accounts receivable to current liabilities of at least 1.50 to 1.00.  Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% (5.0% as of June 30, 2004). As of June 30, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we amended our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. Under the terms of this amendment, we are entitled to an additional  $4.0 million to be used to finance certain qualified acquisitions. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants under this amendment, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $3,000,000, to maintain a ratio of cash plus accounts receivable to current liabilities of at least 1.50 to 1.00, and to maintain a ratio of after tax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, annualized, divided by current maturities of long-term debt plus interest of at least 1.50 to 1.00. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest equal to the average four year U.S. Treasury note yield plus 3.5% (7.11% as of June 30, 2004), and are repayable in thirty-six equal installments. We are entitled to make payments of accrued interest only for the first three monthly installments. As of June 30, 2004 the balance outstanding under this acquisition credit facility was $2.5 million.

 

10.   Shareholders Equity

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2004 the Company raised approximately $2.5 million of capital from investors by the issuance of 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $3.09 per share. Under the terms of the financing arrangement, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase 160,000 shares of Company’s common stock at a price of $4.64 per share. These warrants have a term of two years.  The fair value of these warrants of approximately $389,000 was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 2.98%; dividend yield of 0%; and a volatility factor of 1.515.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Statements made in this Report on Form 10-QSB, including without limitation this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations, other than statements of historical information, are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may sometimes be identified by such words as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to investors. However, these forward-looking statements involve many risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-QSB. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Report on Form 10-QSB to conform these statements to actual results.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-QSB.

 

We were incorporated in September 1997 and began generating revenue in February 1998. We generate revenue from professional services performed for our end-user customers, and the end-user customers of our software partners. Additionally, we generate revenue from selling software.

 

In August 2004 we entered into a one-year extension of our existing services agreement with IBM under which we provide deployment, integration and training services to IBM’s WebSphere®™ customers. The current agreement will terminate on September 1, 2005. Prior to that date, IBM has the right to terminate the agreement upon five days prior written notice. Revenue from IBM specifically under the IBM Software Services for WebSphere subcontracting agreement accounted for approximately 12% and 4% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Overall revenue from IBM, including subcontracting work done from time to time, was approximately 39% and 26% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Accordingly, any deterioration in our relationship with IBM could have a material adverse affect on our consulting revenue and net income. Our agreements generally do not obligate our customers to use our services for any minimum amount, or at all, and our customers may use the services of our competitors.

 

Revenue is derived primarily from professional services provided on a time and materials basis, with the remaining revenue provided from fixed fee engagements and software sales. For time and material contracts, revenue is recognized and billed by multiplying the number of hours expended by our professionals in the performance of the contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects, revenue is generally recognized using the proportionate performance method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a contract-by-contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Billings in excess of costs plus earnings are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects we are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenue. Software revenue is recorded on a gross basis provided we act as a principal in the transaction. In the event we do not meet the requirements to be considered a principal in the software sale transaction and act as an agent, the revenue is recorded on a net basis.

 

Our revenue and operating results are subject to substantial variations based on our customers’ expenditures and the frequency with which we are chosen to perform services for our customers. Revenue from any given customer will vary from period to period. We expect, however, that IBM will remain a significant customer for the foreseeable future. To the extent that IBM, or any other significant customer, uses less of our services or terminates its relationship with us, our revenue could decline substantially.

 

Our gross margins are affected by trends in the utilization rate of our professionals (defined as the percentage of our professionals’ time billed to customers, divided by the total available hours in the

 

15



 

respective period), the salaries we pay our consulting professionals, and the average rate we receive from our customers. If a project ends earlier than scheduled or we retain professionals in advance of receiving project assignments, our utilization rate will decline and adversely affect our gross margins.

 

Results Of Operations

 

Three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to three months ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenue. Total gross revenue increased from approximately $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Services revenue increased from approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in services revenue resulted largely from the acquisitions of Genisys Consulting, Inc. and Meritage Technologies, Inc., which accounted for approximately $2.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of services revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Additionally, the average number of consultants performing services, excluding acquisitions, increased from 118 as of June 30, 2003 to 124 as of June 30, 2004.  Utilization of consultants also increased from 73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 to 82% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Software revenue increased from approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Software revenue is expected to fluctuate between quarters depending on our customers demand for such software. Generally we are reimbursed for our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our customers’ consulting projects.  Reimbursed expenses increased from approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.  The aggregate amount of reimbursed expenses will fluctuate depending on the location of our customers, the general fluctuation of travel costs such as airfare, and the total number of our projects that require travel.

 

Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue, consisting of salaries and benefits associated with our technology professionals, subcontractors, software, and of reimbursed and project related expenses, increased from approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cost of revenue is attributable to an increase in number of professionals due to the acquisition of Genisys Consulting, Inc. and Meritage Technologies, Inc., and due to an increase in average number of consultants performing services, excluding the acquisitions, from 118 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 124 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.  In addition, costs associated with software sales increased in connection with the increased software revenue during this quarter ended June 30, 2004.  Reimbursable expenses will fluctuate with the associated revenue because our customers reimburse us for these costs. Other project related expenses consist of travel and other out-of-pocket costs that are not reimbursed by our customers. These expenses will fluctuate depending generally on outside factors including the cost of travel and the location of our customers.

 

Gross Margin.  Gross margin increased from approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue excluding reimbursed expenses was 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Services gross margin was 45% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in services gross margin as a percentage of revenue excluding reimbursed expenses is primarily due to lower gross margins on consulting services contracts acquired from Genisys Consulting Inc, and Meritage Technologies, Inc. Additionally, there were only 63 billing days during the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 64 billing days for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Gross margins for services can fluctuate depending upon a number of factors including our ability to manage successfully the utilization rates and salaries of our consultants, and the rates we can charge for our services.  Software gross margin was 10% and 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Gross margin for software can fluctuate due to market competition for each sale.

 

Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits for sales, executive and administrative employees, training, marketing activities, investor relations, recruiting, non-reimbursable travel costs and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $1.9 million for the three

 

16



 

months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.  The increase in these costs is related to the acquisition of Genisys Consulting, Inc., and Meritage Technologies, Inc.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease is the result of increased selling and operating efficiencies during the applicable periods.

 

Stock Compensation.  Stock compensation expense consists of non-cash compensation arising from certain option grants to employees with exercise prices below fair market value at the date of grant, option grants made to outside consultants, compensation expense recognized as a result of certain modifications made to outstanding options, and compensation expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in business combinations. Stock compensation expense decreased from $42,280 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $12,300 during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Such stock compensation is generally expensed across the vesting periods of the related option grants.  Stock compensation expense has decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2004, due to a portion of these stock options becoming fully vested.

 

Depreciation.  Depreciation expense decreased from $193,438 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $123,753 during the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is due to a general decrease in purchases of fixed assets along with an increasing number of fully depreciated assets.

 

Intangibles Amortization.  Intangibles amortization expense consists of amortization of intangibles arising from our acquisitions. Amortization increased from $154,168 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $162,778 during the three months ended June 30, 2004.  The increase in amortization expense reflects the acquisition of intangibles from Genisys Consutling Inc, and Meritage Technologies, Inc. during the three months ended June 30, 2004.  We expect amortization expense to increase in future periods as intangibles from the above stated acquisitions have useful lives of nine months to eight years.

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased from $68,813 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $ 14,762 during the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in interest expense reflects the repayments on notes payable to a related party.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. We accrue a provision for federal, state and foreign income tax at the applicable statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, which includes intangibles amortization and deferred stock compensation. Our tax provision rate was 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.  We have deferred tax assets amounting to approximately $1.9 million for which we have full valuation allowances.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to six months ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenue.  Total gross revenue increased from approximately $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  Services revenue increased from approximately $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in services revenue resulted largely from the acquisitions of Genisys Consulting, Inc. and Meritage Technologies, Inc., which accounted for approximately $2.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Additionally, the average number of consultants performing services, excluding the acquisitions, increased from 119 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 123 for the three months ended June 30, 2004.  Utilization of consultants also increased from 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 81% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  Software revenue increased from approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  Software revenue is expected to fluctuate between quarters depending on our customers demand for such software. Generally we are reimbursed for our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our customers’ consulting projects. Reimbursed expenses were consistent at $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004. The aggregate amount of reimbursed expenses will fluctuate depending on the location of our customers, the general fluctuation of travel costs such as airfare, and the total number of our projects that require travel.

 

17



 

Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue, consisting of salaries and benefits associated with our technology professionals, subcontractors, software, and of reimbursed and project related expenses, increased from approximately $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cost of revenue is attributable to an increase in the number of consultants due to the acquisition of Genisys Consulting, Inc. and Meritage Technologies, Inc. Additionally, the average number of consultants performing services, excluding the acquisitions, increased from 119 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 123 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. In addition, costs associated with software sales increased in connection with increased software revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Reimbursable expenses will fluctuate with the associated revenue because our customers reimburse us for these costs. Other project related expenses consist of travel and other out-of-pocket costs that are not reimbursed by our customers. These expenses will fluctuate depending generally on outside factors including the cost of travel and the location of our customers.

 

Gross Margin.  Gross margin increased from approximately $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue excluding reimbursed expenses was 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 37% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue excluding reimbursed expenses is primarily due to lower gross margins on consulting services contracts acquired from Genisys Consulting Inc., and Meritage Technologies, Inc.  Gross margins for services can fluctuate depending upon a number of factors including our ability to manage successfully the utilization rates and salaries of our consultants, and the rates we can charge for our services.  Software gross margin was 14% and 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Gross margin for software can fluctuate due to the market competitiveness for each sale.

 

Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits for sales, executive and administrative employees, training, marketing activities, investor relations, recruiting, non-reimbursable travel costs and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The increase in these costs is related to the acquisition of Genisys Consulting, Inc. and Meritage Technologies, Inc. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease is the result of increased selling and operating efficiencies during the applicable periods.

 

Stock Compensation.  Stock compensation expense consists of non-cash compensation arising from certain option grants to employees with exercise prices below fair market value at the date of grant, option grants made to outside consultants, compensation expense recognized as a result of certain modifications made to outstanding options, and compensation expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in business combinations. Stock compensation expense decreased from $84,149 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $24,768 during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Such stock compensation is generally expensed across the vesting periods of the related option grants.  Stock compensation expense has decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2004, due to a portion of these stock options becoming fully vested.

 

Depreciation.  Depreciation expense decreased from $394,600 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $224,875 during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is due to a general decrease in purchases of fixed assets along with an increasing number of fully depreciated assets

 

Intangibles Amortization.  Intangibles amortization expense consists of amortization of intangibles arising from our acquisitions.  Amortization decreased from $491,668 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $212,779 during the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The decrease in amortization expense reflects the end of the assigned three-year useful life relating to intangibles for the acquisition of Complete, Inc. in February, 2000, partially offset by increase amortization of intangibles acquired from Genisys Consulting, Inc. and Meritage Technologies Inc. We expect amortization expense to increase in future periods as intangibles from the above stated acquisitions have useful lives of nine months to eight years.

 

18



 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $143,401 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $29,133 during the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The decrease in interest expense is due to repayments on notes payable to a related party.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. We accrue a provision for federal, state and foreign income tax at the applicable statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, which includes intangibles amortization and deferred stock compensation. Our tax provision rate was 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  We have deferred tax assets amounting to approximately $1.9 million for which we have full valuation allowances.

 

Liquidity And Capital Resources

 

We have a line of credit arrangement with Silicon Valley Bank that will expire in December 2004. The agreement allows us to borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable as defined in the agreement up to a maximum of $6.0 million. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants under this agreement, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $3,000,000 and to maintain a ratio of cash plus accounts receivable to current liabilities of at least 1.50 to 1.00.  Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% (5.0% as of June 30, 2004). As of June 30, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we amended our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. Under the terms of this amendment, we are entitled to an additional  $4.0 million to be used to finance certain qualified acquisitions. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants under this amendment, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $3,000,000, to maintain a ratio of cash plus accounts receivable to current liabilities of at least 1.50 to 1.00, and to maintain a ratio of after tax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, annualized, divided by current maturities of long-term debt plus interest of at least 1.50 to 1.00. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest equal to the average four year U.S. Treasury note yield plus 3.5% (7.11% as of June 30, 2004), and are repayable in thirty-six equal installments. We are entitled to make payments of accrued interest only for the first three monthly installments. As of June 30, 2004 the balance outstanding under this acquisition credit facility was $2.5 million.

 

In connection with the acquisitions of Javelin Solutions, Inc. and Vertecon, Inc., we were required to establish various letters of credit totaling $550,000 to serve as collateral for certain office space and equipment leases. These letters of credit reduce the borrowings available under our line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. One letter of credit for $300,000 will remain in effect through 2005, and the other letter of credit of $250,000 will remain in effect through 2007.

 

Net cash generated by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $ 945,000. As of June 30, 2004, we had $ 2,607,109 in cash and working capital of approximately $6.3 million.

 

We expect to fund our operations during 2004 from cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings as necessary from our line of credit facility. The amount of borrowings available to us is based on a percentage of our receivables. If our capital is insufficient to fund our activities in either the short or long term, we may need to raise additional funds. In the ordinary course of business, we may engage in discussions with various persons in connection with additional financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. These equity securities may also have rights superior to our common stock or outstanding preferred stock. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or on satisfactory terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our services, respond to competition, pursue acquisition opportunities or continue our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Consulting revenues are comprised of revenue from professional services fees recognized primarily on a time and materials basis as performed. For fixed fee engagements, revenue is recognized using the proportionate performance method (based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours). Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a contract-by-contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses are determined. Billings in excess of costs plus earnings are classified as deferred revenues. Our normal payment terms are net 30 days. Our agreement with IBM provides for net 60 days payment terms. Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses are included in gross revenue. Software revenue is recorded on a gross basis provided that we act as the principal in the transaction. In the event we do not meet the requirements to be considered the principal in the software sale transaction, we record the revenue on a net basis. There is no effect on net income between recording the software sales on a gross basis versus a net basis. We record an expense for the expected losses on uncollectible accounts receivable each period based on known facts and circumstances for the respective period.

 

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement 142”) on January 1, 2002. In accordance with Statement 142, we replaced the ratable amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets with a periodic review and analysis of such intangibles for possible impairment. In accordance with Statement 142, we assess our goodwill on October 1 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

 

Business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, and the recorded values of those assets may become impaired in the future. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. We assess potential impairments to intangible assets on an annual basis or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators and future cash flows related to intangible assets are based on operational performance of the acquired businesses, market conditions and other factors. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with the acquired businesses is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse impact on our results of operations by decreasing net income.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Specific to Our Business

 

We have incurred losses during most of the quarters during which we have been in business and we may incur losses in the future.

 

We have incurred operating losses in most of the quarters during which we have been in business. Although we have recently achieved profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We cannot assure you of any operating results. In future quarters, our operating results may not meet public market analysts’ and investors’ expectations. If that happens, the price of our common stock will likely fall.

 

We have a limited number of customers who may not be obligated to use our services.

 

We have arrangements with a limited number of customers. Our contracts with some of our customers do not obligate them to use our services. A customer may choose at any time to use another consulting firm or to perform the services we provide through internal resources. Termination of a relationship with certain customers, or the decision of such customers to employ other consulting firms or perform services in-house, could materially harm our business.

 

 

20



 

The loss or impairment of our relationship with IBM would materially reduce our revenue and net income, and would materially impact our cash and working capital balances.

 

Amounts owed to us by IBM represented 19% of our accounts receivable, or $1,747,000, as of June 30, 2004. Failure of IBM to pay that amount would have a material adverse effect on our working capital, cash position, business, operating results and financial condition. Failure of IBM to pay us timely also have a material impact our cash and working capital balances.

 

Revenue from IBM accounted for approximately 39% and 26% of total revenues for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Our current agreement with IBM has been renewed and extended through August 2005, and may be terminated by IBM prior to that date upon five days written notice. Revenue from IBM specifically under the IBM Software Services for WebSphere subcontracting agreement accounted for approximately 12% and 4% of total revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. A decision by IBM to reduce the amount of services performed by us or to terminate the agreement would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. In the event IBM decides not to use our services, our revenue and net income could be materially reduced.

 

Our quarterly operating results may be volatile and may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

 

A high percentage of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and rent, are fixed in advance of any particular quarter. As a result, if we experience unanticipated changes in the number or nature of our projects or in our employee utilization rates, we could experience large variations in quarterly operating results and losses in any particular quarter. Due to these factors, we believe that our historical quarter-to-quarter operating results should not be used to predict our future performance.

 

Our quarterly revenue, expenses and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future. These quarterly fluctuations have been and may continue to be affected by a number of factors, including:

 

                  the loss of a significant customer or project;

 

                  the number and types of projects that we undertake;

 

                  our ability to attract, train and retain skilled management and technology professionals;

 

                  seasonal variations in spending patterns;

 

                  our employee utilization rates, including our ability to transition our technology professionals from one project to another;

 

                  changes in our pricing policies;

 

                  our ability to manage costs; and

 

                  costs related to acquisitions of other businesses.

 

In addition, many factors affecting our operating results are outside of our control, such as:

 

                  demand for Internet software;

 

                  end-user customer budget cycles;

 

                  changes in end-user customers’ desire for our partners’ products and our services;

 

21



 

                  pricing changes in our industry;

 

                  government regulation and legal developments regarding the use of the Internet; and

 

                  general economic conditions.

 

We expect that we may experience seasonal fluctuations in revenues. We expect that revenues in the quarter ending December 31 of a given year may typically be lower than in other quarters in that year as there are fewer billable days in this quarter as a result of vacations and holidays. This seasonal trend may materially affect our quarter-to-quarter operating results.

 

Our revenues are difficult to predict because they are derived from project-based engagements.

 

Almost all of our revenues are from project-based client engagements, which vary in size and scope. Our revenue is difficult to predict since a client that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one period may not generate a similar amount of revenue, if any, in subsequent periods. In addition, because many of our project-based client engagements involve sequential stages, each of which may represent a different contractual commitment, a client may choose not to retain us for subsequent stages of an engagement or for new service projects.

 

Our gross margins are subject to fluctuations as a result of variances in utilization rates.

 

Our services gross margins are affected by trends in the utilization rate of our professionals, defined as the percentage of our professionals’ time billed to customers divided by the total available hours in a period. Our operating expenses, including employee salaries, rent and administrative expenses are relatively fixed and cannot be reduced on short notice to compensate for unanticipated variations in the number or size of projects in process. If a project ends earlier than scheduled, we may need to redeploy our project personnel. Any resulting non-billable time may adversely affect our gross margins. The absence of long-term contracts and the need for new partners and business create an uncertain revenue stream, which could negatively affect our financial condition.

 

We may not grow, or we may be unable to manage our growth.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to increase the number of our partners, end-user customers and our teams of technology professionals. However, we may not grow as planned or at all. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, more established reputations, more potential partner and end-user customer relationships and greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. If we experience growth, our growth will place significant strains on our management, personnel and other resources. If we are unable to grow or manage our growth effectively, this inability will adversely affect the quality of our services and our ability to retain key personnel, and could materially harm our business.

 

We may not be able to attract and retain technology professionals, which could affect our ability to compete effectively.

 

Our business is labor intensive. Accordingly, our success depends in large part upon our ability to attract, train, retain, motivate, manage and utilize highly skilled technology professionals. Additionally, our technology professionals are at-will employees. Any inability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technology professionals would impair our ability to adequately manage, staff and utilize our existing projects and to bid for or obtain new projects, which in turn would adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our success will depend on retaining our senior management team and key technical personnel.

 

We believe that our success will depend on retaining our senior management team and key technical personnel. Retention is particularly important in our business as personal relationships are a critical element of obtaining and maintaining our partners. If any of these individuals stops working for us, our level of

 

22



 

management, technical, marketing and sales expertise could significantly diminish. These individuals would be difficult to replace, and losing them could seriously harm our business. We may not be able to prevent key personnel, who may leave our employ in the future, from disclosing or using our technical knowledge, practices or procedures. One or more of our key personnel may resign and join a competitor or form a competing company. As a result, we might lose existing or potential clients.

 

We face risks associated with finding and integrating acquisitions.

 

We may continue to expand our technological expertise and geographical presence through selective acquisitions. Any acquisitions or investments we make in the future will involve risks. We may not be able to make acquisitions or investments on commercially acceptable terms. If we do buy a company, we could have difficulty retaining and assimilating that company’s personnel. In addition, we could have difficulty assimilating acquired products, services or technologies into our operations and retaining the customers of that company. Our operating results may be adversely affected by increased intangibles amortization, stock compensation expense and increased compensation expense attributable to newly hired employees. Furthermore, our management’s attention may be diverted from other aspects of our business and our reputation may be harmed if an acquired company performs poorly. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. If we issue equity securities, your ownership share of our common stock will be diluted.

 

One of the companies we acquired has a self-funded health insurance plan. We are in the process of migrating the employees of the acquired company to a fully insured health plan. However, there may be significant exposures during the transition phase, which may have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources.

 

We may face potential liability to customers if our customers’ systems fail.

 

Our professional services and software are often critical to the operation of our customers’ businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If one of our customers’ systems fails, the customer could make a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for that failure. The limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable in all instances and may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. Our insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims. In addition, a given insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claims. If we experience one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage or result in changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, our business and financial results could suffer.

 

Risks Relating to Our Industry

 

We are dependent on the demand for Internet software and services, which may fluctuate.

 

The market for Internet software and services has changed rapidly over the last four years. The market for Internet software and services expanded dramatically during 1999 and most of 2000, but declined significantly in 2001 and 2002. Market demand for internet software and service began to stabilize and improve throughout 2003 and into 2004, but there can be no assurances that this trend will continue. Our future growth is dependent upon the demand for Internet software and services and our ability to provide strategic Internet services that are accepted by our end-user customers. Demand and market acceptance for Internet services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. If companies continue to cancel or delay their business and technology initiatives or choose to move these initiatives in-house because of the current economic climate, or for other reasons, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

23



 

Businesses may decrease or delay their use of advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce.

 

Our future success depends heavily on the acceptance and use of advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce and streamlining operations. We focus our services on the development and implementation of advanced technology strategies and solutions. If the use of these technologies does not grow, or such growth is delayed due to economic uncertainty or other conditions, our revenue could be less than we anticipate and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our business will suffer if we do not keep up with rapid technological change, evolving industry standards or changing partner requirements.

 

Rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and changing partner needs are common in the Internet professional services market. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

 

                  continue to develop our technology expertise;

 

                  enhance our current services;

 

                  develop new services that meet changing partner and end-user customer needs;

 

                  advertise and market our services; and

 

                  influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.

 

We must accomplish all of these tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner. We might not succeed in effectively doing any of these tasks, and our failure to succeed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including materially reducing our revenue and operating results.

 

We may also incur substantial costs to keep up with changes surrounding the Internet. Unresolved critical issues concerning the commercial use and government regulation of the Internet include the following:

 

                  security;

 

                  cost and ease of Internet access;

 

                  intellectual property ownership;

 

                  privacy;

 

                  taxation; and

 

                  liability issues.

 

Any costs we incur because of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including reduced net income.

 

Our market is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry.

 

The market for Internet professional services is relatively new, intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into this market. Because of the rapid changes to, and volatility in, the Internet software and service industry, many well-capitalized companies that may have chosen sectors of the industry that are not competitive with our

 

24



 

business, including some of our partners, may refocus their activities and resources. As a result, they could deploy their resources and enter into a business that is competitive with ours.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, more established reputations and potential partner relationships and greater financial, technical, industry and marketing resources than we do. This may place us at a disadvantage to our competitors, which may harm our ability to grow or maintain revenue or generate net income.

 

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Stock

 

The trading volume of our common stock has been limited and, as a result, our stock price has been, and will likely continue to be, volatile.

 

Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol “PRFT.” The trading volume of our common stock has been limited, and the stock prices have been volatile. Our common stock price may continue to be highly volatile and may fluctuate as a result of the limited trading volume.

 

Our officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders own a large percentage of our voting securities.

 

Our executive officers, directors and existing 5% and greater stockholders beneficially own or control approximately 20% of the voting power of our common stock. This concentration of ownership of our common stock may make it difficult for other Perficient stockholders to successfully approve or defeat matters that may be submitted for action by our stockholders. It may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

It may be difficult for another company to acquire us, and this could depress our stock price.

 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, under our agreement with IBM, we have granted IBM a right of first offer and a right to terminate its agreement with us with respect to any change of control transaction with a company that has a substantial portion of its business in the web application server product and services market, other than a systems integrator or professional services firm. As a result, a potential acquirer may be discouraged from making an offer to buy us.

 

We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us. The raising of any additional capital may reduce the ownership percentages of our existing shareholders.

 

We believe our existing line of credit and working capital should provide sufficient resources to satisfy our near term capital requirements. Our existing line of credit facility expires in December 2004 and our term loan facility advance period expires in June 2005.  If we are unable to renew our line of credit, we may need to obtain an alternate debt financing facility. In the future we may decide to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing in order to:

 

                  take advantage of opportunities, including more rapid expansion or acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses or technologies;

 

                  develop new services; or

 

                  respond to competitive pressures.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity will reduce the ownership percentages of existing shareholders. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. In such case, our business results would suffer.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

 

We performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial statements.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

In connection with our acquisition of Genisys Consutling, Inc. by merger, on April 2, 2004 we issued 1.7 million shares of our common stock in partial consideration of the merger.  The shares of common stock issued in connection with the merger were ascribed a value of $3.77 per share, which was the average closing price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on April 1, 2004.  The issuance was made in a private placement, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

In connection with our acquisition of Meritage Technologies, Inc. by merger on June 18, 2004, we issued approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock in partial consideration of the merger. The shares of common stock issued in connection with the merger were ascribed a value of $3.595 per share, which was the average closing price of our common stock for the 23 consecutive trading days ended June 15, 2004. The issuance was made in a private placement, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

The Company raised approximately $2.5 million of capital from investors by issuance of 800,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.09 per share. Per the terms of the financing arrangement, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase 160,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $ 4.64 per share.

 

We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the fiscal quarter covered by this report.
