Overview

Captiva Software Corporation is a result of the merger of ActionPoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ActionPoint), with Captiva Software Corporation, a California corporation (Old Captiva). The merger was consummated during the third quarter of 2002. In this transaction, Captiva Software Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of ActionPoint, and ActionPoint changed its name to Captiva Software Corporation.

ActionPoint was incorporated in California in January 1986 and was reincorporated in Delaware in September 1993. Our principal executive offices are located at 10145 Pacific Heights Boulevard, San Diego, California 92121 and our telephone number is (858) 320-1000.

We develop, market, deploy and service input management solutions used to manage business critical information from paper, faxed and scanned forms and documents, Internet forms and extensible markup language (XML) data streams into enterprises in a more accurate, timely and cost-effective manner. These solutions automate the processing of billions of forms and documents annually, converting their contents into information that is usable in database, enterprise content management, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, financial accounting and other information management systems.

Our Internet website address is www.captivasoftware.com. Our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports, are available free of charge through our Internet website as soon as reasonably practicable after being filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Industry Background

The Input Management Problem.    Enormous quantities of information flow into businesses, government agencies and other organizations on a daily basis. Most of this information comes from customers, suppliers, employees and other third parties conducting transactions or corresponding through the use of paper and electronic forms and documents. Examples of these forms and documents include medical claims, credit applications, new account enrollments, tax returns, invoices, legal briefs, regulatory filings and other information intensive forms and documents. Some parties have predicted that the use of paper forms and documents will rapidly decline in favor of their electronic counterparts. In fact, the use of both information mediums is increasing at a significant rate and both paper and electronic forms and documents are expected to remain in use

1

Table of Contents

for the foreseeable future. For example, in 2000 Xerox Corporation stated that the percentage of paper versus electronic documents is expected to decline from 90% today to 40% in 2005 but also predicted a 400% increase in the volume of printed pages. These increases have and will continue to fuel rapid growth in the amount of information that needs to be entered into database, enterprise content management, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, financial accounting and other information management systems.

Regardless of the source, pertinent information must be collected, extracted, perfected, formatted and exported into an organization’s information management systems as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Irrelevant, incorrect or invalid data, processing delays and inefficient methods can adversely impact an organization’s revenues, operating expenses and interactions with customers, suppliers and employees. For example, an incorrect policy number for a medical insurance claim can cause the claim to be rejected, which necessitates a second submission and processing cycle or exception processing and additional correspondence, causing delays in payment to the provider, telephone calls from both the provider and the insured and a reduced level of customer satisfaction. Conversely, accurate, timely and cost effective input management processes can increase an organization’s revenue, reduce its expenses and improve its relationships with customers, suppliers and employees.

Current Approaches are Inadequate.    Current approaches to capturing data from paper forms and documents rely principally upon manual data entry. According to Harvey Spencer Associates, a consultancy firm specializing in input management, organizations in the United States spend $15 billion a year manually keying data from forms alone. Organizations generally perform this work internally or outsource it to business process outsourcing firms. Both approaches have inherent problems. Organizations performing this work internally usually distribute it on a departmental basis, where higher paid knowledge workers often manually key data directly into information management systems with minimal data validation and low productivity rates. As a result, the accuracy of the manually entered information can suffer and manual entry is a relatively expensive form and document processing method. Business process outsourcing firms, which specialize in performing this work achieve higher productivity rates, use less costly data entry operators and locations and typically offer a more cost effective approach. However, unpredictable data accuracy and turnaround times as well as an overall loss of control impede the adoption of this approach, particularly for confidential or time sensitive forms and documents.

Alternative approaches to capturing data include electronic data interchange, electronic forms and documents and, more recently, Internet applications. All of these approaches have inherent problems and limitations. Electronic data interchange is difficult to implement and has been adopted in only a few vertical markets, such as medical claims processing, where we believe approximately 40% of all claims continue to be submitted on paper forms. Electronic forms and documents suffer from user concerns about the security of the transaction, the absence of a standard data exchange format and the limited acceptance of legally binding, digital signatures. As a result, the use of electronic forms and documents has usually been limited to certain types of intra-company applications. The Internet provides a platform for e-commerce applications, which have potentially broad applicability but suffer from high Internet site abandonment rates. According to Forrester Research, an independent information technology research firm, less than 5% of visitors to an e-commerce site attempt to purchase and only 33% of those attempting to purchase actually do so. Similarly, large financial service and insurance companies report that over 95% of all Internet transactions are abandoned prior to completion.

All of these alternative input management methods require substantial custom application development and maintenance, feature minimal data validation capabilities, are disparate, single point technologies and are incapable of capturing data from legacy and new paper forms, documents and attachments. Gartner Group, another independent information technology research firm, estimates that for every dollar spent on Internet applications software organizations should expect to spend from five to twenty dollars on services, especially integration of Internet applications with existing information management systems.

Many organizations processing paper and electronic data intensive transactions are acutely aware of these problems and seeking a more comprehensive solution. The problems with manual processing and the benefits of

2

automation in input management and processing will become increasingly evident as the volume of forms and documents processed grows. According to Strategy Partners, an independent information technology research and consulting firm, the worldwide input management software market amounted to more than $1 billion in 2002.

Our Solution

Our solution provides a universal input management platform and related services that provide our customers with the following benefits:

An Input Management Process That is More Accurate, Timely, Cost Effective and Subject to Configurable Business Rules.    Our software allows our customers to capture information from all sources in a more accurate, timely and cost effective manner while consistently applying a configurable set of business rules throughout the process. These business rules allow the information to be automatically verified and properly routed. This allows our customers to achieve higher information accuracy rates, faster processing times and lower operating costs. These benefits can increase the user’s revenues, reduce expenses and improve relationships with customers, suppliers and employees.

Rapid Implementation Timeframes.    Our software utilizes a single, integrated environment that enables rapid application development, testing and deployment. We also offer professional services to assist customers with these tasks or to perform them entirely on their behalf. These capabilities allow Captiva’s customers to achieve lower implementation costs and shorter implementation timeframes.

A Highly Flexible, Open and Scalable System.    Our software products provide a modular platform with an open architecture that is scalable from a single personal computer to large computer networks processing from several hundred to hundreds of thousands of forms and documents a day. This allows our customers to configure systems and supplement our software products with third party software and hardware products in order to meet their unique requirements and easily expand their systems should the need arise.

An Increased Return on Information Technology Investments.    Our software products typically provide a 12- to 24-month return on investment through reduced manual data entry costs alone. They also improve the quality and timeliness of information, which significantly increases its value.

The Ability to Capture Data from Diverse Sources and Export Data to Most Information Management Systems.    Our solution enables capture from paper, faxed and scanned forms, documents and attachments, electronic forms and electronic data in XML format. Hybrid means transactions in which information must be captured from more than one source; for example, a credit application submitted via an electronic form and the related paper attachments, such as tax returns and W-2 forms submitted via fax, both of which contain information required to complete the process. Our solution also provides the ability to export data in many formats, including XML, to most information management systems. This allows our customers to deploy and benefit from a single, fully integrated input management solution as opposed to multiple separate technologies and systems.

Strategy

Our objective is to extend our position as a leading provider of input management software. Key elements of our strategy to achieve this objective include:

Leverage Customers, Resellers, System Integrators and Cooperative Marketing Partners.    We perceive significant opportunities to leverage the use of our software in our existing customer base and through our resellers, system integrators and cooperative marketing partners. Captiva’s new customers generally deploy our

3

Table of Contents

software on a departmental basis or for limited form or document types. We believe that satisfaction with these initial deployments can lead to enterprise-wide adoption of our software. In addition, because many of the leading resellers and system integrators remarket Captiva’s software and because we have cooperative marketing partners who offer synergistic products, we expect to benefit from a multiplier effect as these partners expose our products to their current and prospective customers.

Leverage Professional Services Staff.    Our professional services staff is among the largest and most experienced in the input management market. This allows us to respond to the implementation needs of our customers, resellers and system integrators in a timely manner and gives us the ability to manage multiple concurrent deployments while maintaining a strong commitment to quality. The ability to meet customers’ needs enables us to establish strong relationships with these parties.

Strengthen Our International Presence.    We believe there are significant opportunities to increase sales of our software and services in international markets. In 2002 we derived 25% of our revenues from outside the United States. We believe the additional size and presence of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Germany will improve our competitiveness in the European market, and we will continue to look to expand our international presence in other international markets.

Capture a Larger Portion of Customer Dollars Spent.    According to IDC, an independent information technology research firm, end-users are willing to pay a single vendor source 10% to 15% more for a complete solution that includes software, hardware and integration services. We believe we can extend our position and increase our average selling price by including digital scanners and other third party products as part of the solutions we provide.

Move “down market.”    We have historically focused on the “high-end” segment of the input management market, which typically involves larger volumes of forms and documents and more complex processes. Our solutions are, however, scalable and flexible enough to serve the full spectrum of market needs and we intend to expand into the “mid-market” segment by expanding the number of our resellers and system integrators.

Leverage Proven Technologies.    We believe we extend our presence by developing and introducing products that leverage our proven technology and allow us to enter new markets. For example, in 2001 we introduced our ClaimPack product to automate the processing of medical claims and 2002 we introduced our InvoicePack product to automate accounts payable departments.

Our Software and Services

FormWare

The FormWare software suite began shipping in 1996 and now provides a comprehensive set of fully compatible modules that work in conjunction with one another to capture data from paper, faxed and scanned forms, documents and attachments, electronic forms and documents and electronic data in a XML format. While it includes the ability to process less structured documents, it is optimized for the processing of more structured forms.

FormWare is a sophisticated 32 bit application for use on standalone personal computers and client-server systems using Microsoft Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP. FormWare Enterprise Edition is available for implementing mission critical, production level solutions on client-server platforms. FormWare Desktop Edition provides many of these capabilities in a tightly integrated bundle for less demanding applications on standalone personal computers and small local area networks. Both are available in English, German and Japanese versions, and we may provide additional localized versions as part of our strategy to increase our international presence and revenues.

Table of Contents

Because our customers are regularly required to capture large amounts of information within short timeframes in order to meet inflexible deadlines, we have optimized FormWare to provide this level of system performance and availability. FormWare uses complex queuing algorithms to ensure less than one second response times and minimize the number of system calls required to complete various tasks. Many of FormWare’s modules function as servers, which means that their resources can be shared by multiple users and that additional modules can be added as required to address more complex processing or greater throughput requirements. In the event of a system failure, the entire FormWare system or a single module can be restarted with no loss of data or significant duplicate processing. Depending upon the FormWare module, this software is licensed on either a per server or per concurrent user basis.

FormWare includes an open architecture with many application programming interfaces and access to real time event and data level information. These features and FormWare’s modular platform allow our customers, resellers and system integrators to programmatically control processing sequences, supplement our solution with third party software and hardware products, configure systems to meet their unique needs and easily expand systems to meet new requirements.

We also offer two vertical market applications that run on the FormWare platform. ClaimPack automates the processing of medical claims submitted on HCFA 1500 and UB 92 forms, and InvoicePack automates the manual keying of data from invoices by accounts payable staff. The use of these applications can speed deployment times by typically providing 80% or more of the functionality required with the remainder being implemented by our customers, resellers, system integrators or professional services staff.

InputAccel

InputAccel began shipping in November 1995. It offers a comprehensive set of fully compatible modules that work in conjunction with one another to capture data from paper, faxed and scanned forms, documents and attachments and electronic data in a XML format. While it includes the ability to process more structured forms, it is optimized for the processing of less structured documents.

InputAccel is a client server application that utilizes an open architecture and includes a set of software modules designed to automate the conversion and indexing of paper documents into formats compatible with information management systems. The Windows NT-based Enterprise Server is the foundation of our InputAccel system. It manages and controls various scanning processes, acting as a work-queue manager, performing automatic workload balancing and collecting performance data that system managers need to control the processing and insure efficiency and productivity. InputAccel modules plug into the Enterprise Server and perform specific input management tasks such as scanning, image enhancement or data extraction. Many of InputAccel’s modules function as servers, which means that their resources can be shared by multiple users and that additional modules can be added as required to address more complex processing or greater throughput requirements. As various tasks are completed the Enterprise Server provides the connectivity between paper and digital formats by delivering data and images to information management systems.

InputAccel is only available in English, but we may provide localized versions as part of our strategy to increase our international presence and revenues. Depending upon the client server module, this software is licensed on either a per server, per transaction or per concurrent user basis. In addition to our InputAccel modules, over a dozen third-party technology developers offer InputAccel-compatible modules worldwide. These technology developers help make InputAccel a standard platform for building information capture solutions and give customers the flexibility they need. These third-party relationships also help extend our reach to market segments requiring specialized functionality.

ISIS & Pix Tools

Created in 1990, our Image and Scanner Interface Specification (ISIS) is a flexible, modular software standard for acquiring, converting, viewing, printing and storing scanned document and form images. By creating

5

Table of Contents

applications using ISIS-based software toolkits, resellers, system integrators and third party software vendors can support over 250 devices through ISIS scanner drivers. As new devices and their corresponding ISIS drivers are made available, ISIS-based applications automatically inherit support for these drivers. The ISIS interface bridges the gap between scanner and other vendors making ISIS the de facto industry standard. Because ISIS is the basis of an industry standard (ANSI/AIIM MS61-1996), ISIS users can be confident that the hardware they have purchased will be supported by a variety of applications, and that their imaging applications will support a wide variety of scanners.

Our PixTools software toolkits provide users the most efficient means possible for adding ISIS-based imaging functions to software applications and are designed to enable software application developers to write custom, commercial-level document imaging applications. They save developers both time and money by reducing time to market, lowering application support costs, and lowering research and development costs. It is a collection of software modules, each of which performs a specific imaging related function. PixTools modules are available to control scanners, assist in the viewing of images, compress and convert the format of image data, and read or write files containing image data. PixTools modules communicate with one another using messages that carry information in “tags” and “choices”. The modules are linked together into “pipes” to perform specific imaging functions. PixTools is only available in English, but we may provide localized versions as part of our strategy to increase our international presence and revenues. This software is usually licensed on per toolkit user basis with an additional royalty being payable for each resulting end user of the application developed.

Professional Services

Our AdvantEDGE services program allows us to better address the implementation needs of our customers, resellers and system integrators and achieve a greater level of customer satisfaction. This program includes a comprehensive range of services provided by our professional and technical services staff, which consisted of 76 employees as of December 31, 2002.

Our professional services staff provides project management, functional and detailed specification preparation, application development, form redesign, system configuration, quality assurance, installation and application specific training services to customers. While our resellers and system integrators can and do provide these services to their customers, they often also ask us to provide these services to their customers on a subcontract basis. We generally charges for professional services on a fixed fee basis for projects utilizing mutually agreed upon functional and detailed specifications and on a time and materials basis for other projects.

Our technical services staff provides for the dependable and timely resolution of technical inquiries by telephone, email and over the Internet and a set of regularly scheduled training classes usually held at our offices in San Diego, California, San Jose, California and Waltham, Massachusetts. We offer several levels of these technical services, with the most comprehensive option covering 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We generally charge for customer support based upon a percentage of the related software license fees and classroom training on a per attendee basis.

Sales, Marketing & Business Development

We sell input management software and services through our direct sales staff, often in conjunction with cooperative marketing partners. Approximately 29% of our sales are made through resellers and system integrators and the remainder comes from our direct sales staff. We believe our ability to successfully work with and through these diverse and sometimes competing channels represents a significant competitive advantage. As of December 31, 2002, our sales, marketing and business development staff consisted of 95 employees and we had over 100 resellers, system integrators and cooperative marketing partners. We intend to expand our sales and marketing staff and activities and to increase the number of our resellers, system integrators and strategic marketing partners.

Our sales strategy involves targeting organizations with forms or document capture needs that either already recognize or can be educated about their input management problems. Because our software can increase an organization’s revenue, reduce its expenses and improve its relationships with customers, suppliers and employees, we direct our selling efforts to senior management, including executives responsible for input management functions as well as chief information and chief financial officers at prospective customers. We explain the benefits of our software, assess the specific needs of the organizations, create demonstrations and provide proposals, including return on investment analyses, to satisfy the prospective customer’s requirements. The sales cycle typically ranges from 60 to 180 days.

We use a variety of marketing programs to build awareness of input management problems and our software and brand name, including product and strategy updates with industry analysts, public relations activities, direct mail and relationship marketing programs, seminars, advertising, trade shows, speaking engagements and Internet site marketing. Our marketing staff also produces collateral materials to support sales to prospective customers that include brochures, data sheets, white papers, customer success stories, presentations and demonstrations.

Our resellers and system integrators include American Management Systems, BancTec, Documentum, DST, EDS, IBM Global Services, Xerox, Lockheed Martin, Logicon (a Northrop Grumman company), Nissho Electronics Corporation, PFPC (PNC’s mutual fund servicing subsidiary) and Unisys.

In the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 none of our resellers or system integrators accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.

We believe cooperative marketing partners who offer synergistic products are important in selling and marketing our solution. We benefit from a multiplier effect as these partners expose Captiva’s products to more of their customers and prospects. As a result, we have developed such arrangements with numerous cooperative marketing partners, including Eastman Kodak, FileNET, IBM, IBML, Information Management Resources, Interwoven, Open Text, Optika and Legato.

Our Pixel software tools are generally sold or licensed on a royalty basis through a direct sales program to hardware and software suppliers such as Fujitsu, Canon, IBM and FileNet.

Research and Development

We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to enhance our current product line, develop new products, maintain technological competitiveness and satisfy an evolving range of customer requirements. We have assembled a team of skilled software developers and software quality assurance engineers with significant industry experience. This development group is responsible for exploring new directions and applications of core technologies, incorporating new technologies into products and maintaining strong research relationships with other software developers. We seek to build upon our direct investment in research and development by supporting efforts by independent software vendors to develop complementary products and participate actively in the development of industry standards.

Technical Support

An important element in our strategy is to provide comprehensive support of our products. We believe that responsive technical support is essential to satisfy customer requirements. Our support activities provide telephone support via a help desk, e-mail support and remote support that provide direct access from our support staff to our customers’ systems for problem diagnosis and resolution. We also provide support through our Web site, which offers technical information designed to assist in answering frequently asked questions and in problem diagnosis and resolution. Customers are required to buy an annual maintenance contract when they initially license our software and most renew this contract on an annual basis. Additionally, we provide a variety of training and professional consulting services to many of our customers, which assist them to more efficiently implement their systems.

We typically provide a ninety-day warranty program on all our products. Our standard terms and conditions provide that a customer may return a defective product for repair or replacement during the warranty period.

Intellectual Property

We have invested significantly in the development of proprietary technology for our products and our operations frequently incorporate proprietary and confidential information. We rely upon a combination of copyright and trademark laws and non-disclosure and other intellectual property contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. We protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which only provide limited protection. We hold one patent and currently have no patent applications pending. We also enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate partners and control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information.

Use by customers of our software is governed by shrink-wrap or executed license agreements. We also enter into written agreements with each of our resellers and system integrators for the distribution of our software.

Competition

The market for our products is highly competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the input management market are:

We believe that we compare favorably with our competitors with respect to each of the above factors.

Our principal competitors are:

9

Table of Contents

We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies if the market continues to develop and expand. Many of these competitors and potential competitors may have significant competitive advantages, including greater name recognition; more resources to apply to the development, marketing and sales of their products and more established sales channels. In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with our current and potential customers and have extensive knowledge of our industry. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidations.

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, we had 271 employees. We employ 175 people in marketing, sales, services, technical support; 60 in engineering and product development and 36 in finance and administration. None of the employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Risks and uncertainties, in addition to those we describe below, that are not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business could be harmed, the price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The merger of ActionPoint and Old Captiva could harm key third party relationships.

The merger may harm our relationship with third parties with whom ActionPoint and Old Captiva had relationships prior to the merger. Uncertainties following the merger may cause these parties to discontinue or modify these relationships. Any changes in these relationships could harm our business. In addition, customers of Old Captiva and ActionPoint and other third parties may, in response to the merger, delay or defer decisions concerning whether to utilize our services and products. We could experience a decrease in expected revenue as a consequence of uncertainties associated with the merger. Any delay or deferral in those decisions by customers of Old Captiva and ActionPoint or other third parties could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Because of the unpredictability and variability of revenues from our products, we may not accurately forecast revenues or match expenses to revenues which could harm quarterly operating results and cause volatility or declines in our stock price.

Both ActionPoint’s and Old Captiva’s quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results varied significantly in the past and our quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results are likely to vary significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, including:

10

Table of Contents

We currently operate with virtually no software order backlog because software products are shipped shortly after orders are received. This fact makes software revenues in any quarter substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. In addition, we obtain a significant portion of our revenues from indirect sales channels over which we have little control. Moreover, expense levels are based to a significant extent on expectations of future revenues and therefore are relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue levels are below expectations, our operating results are likely to be harmed because only small portions of expenses vary with revenues.

As a result of these factors, we believe that revenues, expenses and operating results are likely to vary significantly between quarters in the future and comparisons of operating results from period-to-period will not necessarily be meaningful. As such, these comparisons should not be relied upon as the sole measure of our future performance. Our operating results in one or more future quarters may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, we could experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.

The loss of key employees pursuant to the merger of ActionPoint and Old Captiva may prevent us from achieving the anticipated benefits of the merger.

The merger of ActionPoint and Captiva has been and will continue to be followed by a period of integration and transition. This process may result in the loss of key employees. The loss of key employees could make it significantly more difficult to manage the critical functions of these two businesses and impair our ability to compete effectively against other input management software providers.

As a result of the merger, James Vickers, David Sharp and Matthew Albanese, the former executive officers of ActionPoint, may be entitled to significant severance benefits if they resign or if their employment is terminated under certain circumstances after the merger. The former executive officers may be entitled to resign and collect severance payments if they have suffered a material reduction in their authority or responsibility. In addition, Reynolds Bish, Rick Russo, Steven Burton and Blaine Owens are employees at will and may terminate their employment at any time.

Charges against earnings related to the merger of ActionPoint and Old Captiva have reduced and may continue to reduce our earnings, if any, during the post-merger integration period.

We have incurred direct transaction costs of approximately $1.7 million, including legal, accounting and financial advisory fees. In addition, we incurred integration costs associated with the merger of $2.1 million, including the payment of employee severance benefits, which are expected to be nonrecurring and have been charged to operations in the third quarter of 2002, thereby increasing expenses for the quarter. We may incur additional merger-related integration costs.

Accounting charges resulting from the merger will continue to have a negative effect on earnings over future quarters.

The merger of ActionPoint and Old Captiva has resulted in approximately $13 million of goodwill and other intangible assets being recorded on the books of the combined company. Of this amount, up to approximately $6 million will be amortized as part of our cost of revenues over the next five years. These non-cash charges will negatively affect earnings during the amortization period, which could have a negative effect on our stock price.

If we cannot successfully integrate existing business operations of ActionPoint and Old Captiva, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger of ActionPoint and Old Captiva.

Integrating the business of Old Captiva and ActionPoint involves a number of risks, including:

In the past, as a private company Old Captiva was not subject to rigorous public disclosure and reporting obligations. Further, the process of combining the two companies could create uncertainty among employees about their future roles with us, thereby negatively affecting employee morale. This uncertainty may adversely affect the ability of the combined company to retain some of our key employees after the merger.

If we are to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger, the operations of Old Captiva and ActionPoint must be integrated and combined efficiently and effectively. There can be no assurance that the integration will be successful, or that the anticipated benefits of the merger will be realized.

ActionPoint and Old Captiva incurred losses in the past and we may incur losses in the future.

ActionPoint incurred losses of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, and Old Captiva incurred losses of $0.4 million for the same period. Even if we maintain profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. We will need to generate higher revenues while containing costs and operating expenses to become and remain profitable. Failure to do so may cause our stock price to decline.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and potential competitors.

We believe competition in the input management software industry may intensify in the future. The market for forms processing and document capture solutions is very competitive and subject to rapid change. In addition, because there are relatively low barriers to entry into the software market, we may encounter additional competition from both established and emerging companies. Many potential competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than ours, in addition to significantly greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers. As a result, these potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of competitive products than we can. There is also a substantial risk that announcements of competing products by potential competitors could result in the delay or postponement of customer orders in anticipation of the introduction of the competitors’ new products.

In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs. These cooperative relationships may limit our ability to sell our products through particular reseller partners. Accordingly, new competitors or competitive cooperative relationships may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our revenues, business and results.

If the market for input management software does not grow, our revenues may not grow.

The market for input management software is fragmented and extremely competitive. We have spent, and intend to continue to spend, considerable resources educating potential customers about our software products

and the input management market in general. These expenditures may fail to achieve any additional degree of market acceptance for our products. The rate at which organizations have adopted ActionPoint and Old Captiva products has varied significantly in the past, and we expect to continue to experience such variations in the future. If the market for input management products grows more slowly than we anticipate, our revenues will not grow and our operating results will suffer.

If we are unable to respond in an effective and timely manner to technological change and new products in the industry, our revenues and operating results will suffer.

If we face material delays in introducing new services, products and enhancements, our customers may forego the use of our products and services and use those of our competitors. The market for input management is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our current products while developing and introducing new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent in our software, new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. Significant delays in the general availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or implementation of such new releases could harm our operating results and financial condition. Both ActionPoint and Old Captiva experienced delays in the past in the release of new products and new product enhancements. We may fail to develop and market on a timely and cost effective basis new products or new product enhancements that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements. We may also experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our products or reduce the likelihood that our new products and product enhancements will achieve market acceptance.

Software defects that are discovered in our products could damage our reputation, causing a loss of customers and resulting in significant costs and liabilities.

Our software products are complex and may contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. In the past, both ActionPoint and Old Captiva discovered software errors in certain of their products after they were released to the market. In addition, our products are combined with complex products developed by other vendors. As a result, should problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source or sources of the problems. Defects and errors, or end-user perception of defects and errors, found in current versions, new versions or enhancements of these products after commencement of commercial shipments may
