Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2003

(Unaudited)



1.  Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for fiscal year end financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Catalyst International, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.


2.  Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock


Catalyst International, Inc. (“Catalyst” or “we” or “our”) has presented net loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.”  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares used in the per share calculations.  The numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is net loss in each period.

3.  Stock-Based Compensation

Catalyst has stock-based employee compensation plans.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value.  Catalyst has chosen to continue using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock option plans.

Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plans based on the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

4.  Contingencies


The Company has been involved in a dispute with a former customer.  In January 2002, an arbitration panel issued an award in favor of the former customer for $800,000 plus 5% interest.  The Company challenged the validity of the award on the basis that it was not issued by the arbitration panel in a timely manner consistent with the rules of arbitration.

 On November 22, 2002, the District Court ruled in favor of Catalyst’s motion to vacate the arbitration award and denied the Claimant’s petition to confirm the award.  The claimant appealed this decision to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.  During 2002, the Company reduced its accrual for this matter by $525,000 as a result of management’s assessment of the probable liability relating to this matter.

Catalyst is involved in various other claims and legal matters of a routine nature which are being handled in the ordinary course of business.  Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved claims and legal matters or the range of possible loss or recovery, we believe that these unresolved claims and legal matters will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.


Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed decisions.  This document contains such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify such forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on management’s present expectations about future events.  As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.   Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements.  Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the factors identified in Exhibit 99.1 of Catalyst’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.  The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, future events or otherwise.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Revenue Recognition


Catalyst derives revenue from the sale of software, services and post-contract customer support (PCS), and hardware.  PCS includes telephone support, bug fixes, and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis.  Services range from installation, training, and basic consulting to software modification and customization to meet specific customer needs.  In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, specified upgrades, PCS and/or other services, Catalyst allocates the total arrangement fee to each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence.


Software


For software with insignificant modifications, Catalyst recognizes that portion of the revenue allocable to software and specified upgrades upon delivery of the software product or upgrade to the end user, provided that it is considered collectible.  For software with significant modifications, Catalyst recognizes the revenue allocable to the software on a percentage of completion method, with progress to completion measured based upon labor time expended.


Post-Contract Customer Support


Revenue allocable to PCS is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the PCS is provided.


Services


Arrangements that include professional services are evaluated to determine whether those services are for modification of the software product or for the normal implementation of Catalyst software products.  When professional services are considered part of the normal implementation process, revenue is recognized monthly as these services are invoiced.  When professional services are for a modification of the software itself, an evaluation is made to determine if the modification requires more than 50 person-days of work.  If the modification is estimated to exceed 50 days, revenue is recognized using contract accounting on a percentage completion method with progress to completion measured based upon labor time expended.  When the modification is estimated to be fewer than 50 days, revenue is recognized as invoiced.


Hardware


Revenue on hardware is recognized when the hardware is shipped by the hardware vendor and title has transferred to the customer.


Contract Accounting


For arrangements that include significant customization or modification of the software, revenue is recognized using contract accounting.  Revenue from these software arrangements is recognized on a percentage of completion basis, with progress to completion measured based upon labor time expended.  Catalyst reserves for project cost overruns when such overruns are identified.  We recognize project cost overruns where we will exceed our budgeted number of days on a project.  The overrun is based on a standard cost per day.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. We recognize reserves for bad debts based on the length of time the receivables are past due ranging from 5% to 100% for amounts more than 120 days past due for which a corresponding deferred revenue does not exist.  Specific customer reserves are based upon our assessment of deviations in historical payment trends, the age of the account, and ongoing communications with our customers by both the finance and sales departments.  For amounts less than 120 days past due, a small percentage is typically reserved based upon our historical experience. If circumstances change (i.e., higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations), our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be reduced by a material amount.


Legal Accruals


As discussed in Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2003, we have accrued our best estimate of the probable cost for the resolution of a claim with a former customer.  This estimate has been developed in consultation with outside counsel.  To the extent additional information arises or our strategies change, it is possible that our best estimate of the probable liability in this matter may change.  


Catalyst is involved in various other claims and legal matters of a routine nature which are being handled in the ordinary course of business.  Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved claims and legal matters or the range of possible loss or recovery, we believe that these unresolved claims and legal matters will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.


Impairment Charges


We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate that we may be unable to recover the recorded value of the affected long-lived assets.
