NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. Interim Financial Data (Unaudited)

      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Verity, Inc. (the “Company” or “Verity”) as of February 28, 2003 and for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2003 and 2002 have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2002.

      Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

      The Company’s balance sheet as of May 31, 2002 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, and does not include all disclosures necessary for the presentation to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 
2. Computation of Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Share

      Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of “in-the-money” stock options. “In-the-money” options are those where the exercise price is lower than the average market price being used to determine the value. Verity’s average market price for the quarter ended February 28, 2003 was $14.74. All common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the nine month period ended February 28, 2002 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

      Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are calculated as follows for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except per share data):
