NOTE 1 — GENERAL AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Forgent Networks, Inc. (“Forgent” or the “Company”) as of January 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003, the results of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2004 and January 31, 2003, and the cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2004 and January 31, 2003. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

     Please note that for comparability purposes a reclassification was made on the Company’s originally filed Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2003, which is reflected in the Company’s Form 10-Q/A for the same fiscal period.

NOTE 2 — ACQUISITIONS

     As approved by each company’s board of directors and finalized on October 6, 2003, Forgent acquired certain assets and the operations of Network Simplicity Software Inc. (“Network Simplicity”), a privately held provider of web-based scheduling solutions for the small to medium sized business market. Network Simplicity’s flagship product, Meeting Room Manager, is an easy-to-use web-based tool that schedules rooms, people, and resources globally. Another Network Simplicity product, Visual Asset Manager, is a network and web-based solution that allows businesses to effectively track and manage their assets, including computers, printers, software, and employees. These acquired software products are targeted for small to medium sized businesses and departments or divisions of large enterprises. This strategic acquisition allows the Company to extend its current software product offerings and to expand its market opportunities into the small to medium sized business market.

     Forgent purchased Network Simplicity for approximately $3,315, consisting of $2,115 in cash and assumed liabilities, and up to $1,200 in potential future cash considerations. The $2,115 represents the amount currently recorded as the purchase price of the acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase of assets. The additional $1,200 tied to future contingencies will be recorded as additional purchase price when, and if, the amounts are paid. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The following table shows the amounts assigned to each major asset and liability class as of the date of acquisition:

     As a result of the acquisition, Network Simplicity’s results of operations since October 6, 2003 have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2004.

     In acquiring Network Simplicity, Forgent’s workforce grew by ten employees. The founder of Network Simplicity currently serves as Forgent’s Vice-President — Network Simplicity, and the Network Simplicity workforce remained based in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.

NOTE 3 — ASSET IMPAIRMENT

     During the three months ended January 31, 2004, Forgent recorded impairment losses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as follows:

     During the second fiscal quarter, Forgent faced declining revenues related to its ALLIANCE software products and services. On the other hand, Forgent experienced increasing revenues related to its Network Simplicity software product and services. Additionally, management learned that while indicators of demand existed for ALLIANCE, issues regarding price sensitivity, lengthy sales cycle, and integration with enterprise infrastructures were preventing ALLIANCE from achieving the revenues that management originally anticipated. Starting in January 2004, management reviewed its software segment, the related cash flows from its ALLIANCE and Network Simplicity product lines, and re-evaluated its strategy regarding growing revenues from this segment. As a result, Forgent repriced, repackaged, and repositioned ALLIANCE to be targeted to small to medium sized businesses and departments or divisions of large enterprises. Since Forgent’s ALLIANCE and Network Simplicity software products are now both sold under similar models, management expects to experience efficiencies in the sales efforts. Forgent will continue to market and sell ALLIANCE and will continue to support all of its current ALLIANCE customers.

     Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” Forgent evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including the equipment and capitalized software development costs, related to the ALLIANCE efforts. Based on the projected negative cash flows related to ALLIANCE, Forgent fully impaired the $4,748 in net capitalized software development costs and $211 in equipment related to ALLIANCE. Additionally, Forgent impaired $100 of certain prepaid assets that specifically supported ALLIANCE. Due to the decrease in software and professional services revenues and Forgent’s shift in its go-forward strategy, the Company was also required to perform an impairment analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As part of the impairment analysis, Forgent determined the implied fair value of goodwill based on a discounted cash flow model. As a result of this valuation, Forgent recorded a $5,043 impairment of its goodwill related to its acquisitions of Vosaic, LLC and Global Scheduling Solutions, Inc. The technology obtained from these acquisitions supported the development efforts on ALLIANCE and its predecessor, Forgent’s Video Network Platform. The $10,102 impairment charge related to ALLIANCE was recorded to the Consolidated Statement of Operations, with $4,838 in cost of sales and $5,264 in operating expenses.

     In January 2004, the Company closed its sales office in Melville, New York. Management was unable to sublease the vacated space and upon review of the future discounted cash flows related to this lease, management recorded an impairment charge of $78. Additionally, management analyzed the discounted cash flows related to its Wild Basin property lease and subleases over the remainder of the lease term. Although Forgent was able to sublease the vacated space more quickly than originally anticipated, the rates on the subleases were less than originally anticipated due to depressed current market rates. Therefore, management calculated the economic value of the lost sublease rental income and recorded an additional charge of $1,465. As of January 31, 2004, Forgent had $2,025 recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to its Wild Basin property. Forgent remained obligated to make lease payments in accordance with the original terms of both leases. In addition, Forgent analyzed its recorded leasehold improvements at its Wild Basin property. Multiple leasehold improvements were made for the Company’s previously owned videoconferencing hardware products business and certain subtenants, and this analysis indicated that certain leasehold improvements were no longer of value. Therefore, management recorded an impairment charge of $182 related to these leasehold improvements. The $1,726 impairment related to the Wild Basin and New York leases and the leasehold improvements were recorded as part of operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

     When Forgent sold its products business segment during fiscal year 2002, it received two subordinated promissory notes from VTEL Products Corporation (“VTEL”). Due to the defaulted payment on the first subordinated promissory note due in April 2002 and due to the uncertainty in collecting the two outstanding notes from VTEL, the Company recorded a $5,967 charge for the reserve of both notes from VTEL during fiscal year 2002. During the first fiscal quarter of 2003, management agreed with VTEL’s management to offset Forgent’s accounts payable to VTEL with its accounts receivable and notes receivable from VTEL. Forgent’s liability was fully offset with the accounts receivable and partially offset with the note in default, thus relieving $499 of the reserve on the notes receivable. Since the initial $5,967 charge to reserve the VTEL notes receivable was reported as part of the asset impairment from continuing operations, the related reduction of the reserves is also reported as part of the asset impairment from continuing operations. No cash was exchanged with this transaction.

NOTE 4 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     On July 3, 2003, Forgent sold substantially all of the assets of its videoconferencing hardware services business (“Services Business”), based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, to an affiliate of Gores Technology Group (“Gores”), a privately held international acquisition and management firm. The divestiture was a strategic move designed to enable Forgent to focus on growing its software and professional services business, growing its intellectual property licensing business, increasing its cash balances, improving its overall gross margin, and reducing its operating expenses. The assets sold included accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, certain prepaid assets, and goodwill. As consideration for the sale of the Services Business, the Company received $7,350 in cash, which was net of a $400 transaction extension fee, and the assumption of substantially all of the Services Business’ liabilities, including deferred maintenance revenue, identified accounts payable, and capital lease obligations.

     An additional $2,250 in cash was held for possible purchase price adjustments and indemnity claims. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, Forgent negotiated the final resolution of the purchase price adjustments with Gores. As a result, Forgent received $575 in cash from Gores in January 2004. As of January 31, 2004, the remaining $1,000 in cash was held in escrow for indemnity claims. Details of these escrowed funds and other important information are set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for fiscal year 2002. Forgent cannot provide any assurances that it will receive some or any of the remaining funds still held in escrow.

     Forgent assigned its lease for approximately six thousand square feet of office space in Kennesaw, Georgia to Gores, which was accepted by the landlord with no further obligations by Forgent. This office space was utilized as a sales office for the Services Business. Furthermore, Forgent did not remain contingently liable for performance on existing contracts or future contracts entered into by Gores. The Company does not have any continuing involvement in the go-forward operations of the Services Business.

(Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted)

     In connection with the sale of the Services Business, Forgent and Gores entered into a transition services agreement, whereby the Company will provide, for a fee at actual cost, certain transition services for Gores related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the sale. Forgent and Gores also entered into a reseller agreement, whereby Gores may resell the Company’s software products, and a co-marketing arrangement, whereby the Company will receive a commission for referring videoconferencing related service business to Gores. Gores retained approximately 70 employees employed by the Services Business.

     As a result of the sale of the Services Business, the Company has presented this business as discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and recorded $601 and $1,598 in income from its discontinued operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2003. The $563 and $573 in income recorded from discontinued operations during the three and six months ended January 31, 2004 represent the $575 in cash received from Gores in January 2004 for purchase price adjustments related to the sale and the residual activity related to the $1,954 loss on disposal of the Services Business recorded for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. The Company did not conduct any business from this business line during the six months ended January 31, 2004.

     NOTE 5 — SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     During the first fiscal quarter of 2004, the Company sold $1,746 of its outstanding accounts receivable, without any recourse. Silicon Valley Bank purchased the assets at face value, less fees of approximately 1.2% of the face value of the accounts receivable sold and a one-time annual set-up fee of $10. The Company received proceeds from Silicon Valley Bank of $1,713.

     Under the provisions of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” a transfer of receivables may be accounted for as a sale if the following three conditions are met: (1) the transferred assets are isolated from the transferor, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or sell the transferred assets, and (3) the transferor does not maintain control over the transferred assets. Accordingly, the Company recorded the transfer of the accounts receivable as a sale of assets, excluded the related receivables from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recorded related expenses of $27 for the six months ended January 31, 2004.

NOTE 6 — COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

     In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, the Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments held as available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended January 31, 2004 was $12,869 and $15,390 respectively. Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2003 was $1,303 and $2,458, respectively.

NOTE 7 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” in an effort to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities, and activities of another entity. Interpretation No. 46 requires the primary beneficiary, an entity that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s (“VIE”) activity or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns or both, to consolidate that VIE. The interpretation also requires disclosure about VIEs that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. Interpretation No. 46 is effective for all new VIEs created or acquired after January 31, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB issued Position No. FIN46-6, which delayed the effective date of consolidation provisions of Interpretation No. 46 for variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003. If the reporting entity had not yet issued financial statements reporting the variable interest entities in accordance with the consolidation provisions of Interpretation No. 46, the new effective date is for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2003. The Company did not have a variable interest in any VIEs as of January 31, 2004 and therefore the adoption of these provisions has no material impact on Forgent’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share and employee data unless otherwise noted)

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement requires that certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity be classified as a liability. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, or otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Forgent adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 150 effective August 1, 2003. Since August 1, 2003 and as of January 31, 2004, the Company held no such financial instruments. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     NOTE 8 — STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for stock option grants. As required by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Forgent has determined pro forma net income and net income per common share as if compensation costs had been determined based on the fair value of the options granted to employees and then recognized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of stock option grants has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had the compensation costs been recognized as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts shown below:

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience.

NOTE 9- SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Currently, the Company operates in two distinct segments: software and professional services, and intellectual property licensing. Forgent’s software and professional services business provides customers with scheduling software as well as add-on software customization, installation and training, network consulting, hardware, software maintenance services, and other comprehensive related services. Forgent’s intellectual property licensing business is currently focused on generating licensing revenues relating to the Company’s data compression technology embodied in U.S. Patent No. 4,698,672 and its foreign counterparts.
