Industry Background

     Modern companies face increased globalization, outsourcing, channel convergence and regulatory and security requirements. In addition, technological innovations, such as RFID, rising logistics costs, increasing competition and smaller margins are causing companies to closely examine their supply chain operations. These companies have realized that, if executed properly, the supply chain can be a major competitive differentiator.

     The traditional push methodology, where companies would dictate customers’ options, has given way to a more customer demand-driven, pull methodology. The result has been an increased need for communication with trading partners and a closer examination of business process and systems. Unlike in the past, when companies were looking to simply establish supply chain systems, they are now looking to maximize their investments across the supply chain. In doing so, they are seeking to solve specific operational pain points with solutions that can scale as their business grows and integrate with other systems, such as their ERP, material handling equipment or other solutions. In addition, companies are increasingly seeking to reduce the number of vendors they work with and increase overall integration without compromising quality or performance.

Manhattan Associates’ Solution

     Our solutions are modular and employ leading database technology to address a full range of requirements of modern, complex distribution centers, transportation networks and the overall supply chain, including warehouse management, transportation management, trading partner management, distributed order management, reverse logistics management, RFID and performance management. Our warehouse management solutions include the performance of the many processes that take place in the warehouse and distribution center, beginning with the execution of an order by a customer and ending with the fulfillment and delivery of the order to the end customer. Our transportation management solutions include functionality that allows a company to optimally procure, plan and execute transportation services. Our trading partner management solutions provide real-time synchronization of key processes and their associated information flows across the extended supply chain, including customer process synchronization, supplier process management, global inventory visibility and, supply chain event management, and includes real-time monitoring and alerting. Distributed order management solutions manage the order fulfillment lifecycle across the supply chain to coordinate the movement of goods, orchestrate the re-supply of products and consider global inventory for optimal fulfillment. Reverse logistics management solutions manage and automate the returns process, tracking, storing, referencing and reporting on returned merchandise to increase net asset recovery. In addition to these solutions, we also provide performance management and RFID solutions that enhance the functionality of our other key solutions. Performance management solutions use analytic tools, which allow distribution center managers to monitor events within the supply chain cycle, analyze historical data and generate reports. Our RFID in a Box® solution provides an integration and reporting platform between RFID readers and SCE and ERP systems for EPC compliance.

     Professional Services. Our professional services provide our customers with expertise and assistance in planning and implementing our solutions. To ensure a successful product implementation, consultants assist customers with the initial installation of a system, the conversion and transfer of the customer’s historical data onto our system, and ongoing training, education and system upgrades. We believe that our professional services enable the customer to implement our software rapidly, ensure the customer’s success with our solution, strengthen the relationship with the customer, and adds to our industry-specific knowledge base for use in future implementations and product development efforts.

     Although our professional services are optional, substantially all of our customers use at least some portion of these services for the implementation and ongoing support of our software products. Professional services are typically rendered under time and materials-based contracts, with services typically billed on an hourly basis. Professional services are sometimes rendered under fixed-fee based contracts, with payments due on specific dates or milestones. We believe that increased sales of our software solutions will drive higher demand for our consulting services.

     Our professional services group consists of business consultants, systems analysts and technical personnel devoted to assisting customers in all phases of the implementation of our systems, including planning and design, customer-specific configuring of modules, and on-site implementation or conversion from existing systems. Our consulting personnel undergo extensive training on supply chain operations and our products. We believe that this training enables us to productively use newly-hired consulting personnel. At times, we use third-party consultants, such as those from major systems integrators, to assist our customers in certain implementations.

     We have developed a proprietary, standardized implementation methodology called PRISM, which leverages our solutions’ architecture with the knowledge and expertise gained from completing more than 1,600 installations worldwide. The modular design of our solutions significantly reduces the complexities associated with integrating to existing systems, including ERP, Supply Chain Management (“SCM”), Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), e-business systems and complex material handling systems. As a result, we have been able to deploy a fully automated inbound and outbound system in less than two months.

     Customer Support Services and Software Enhancements. We offer a comprehensive program that provides our customers with timely software upgrades that offer additional or improved functionality and technological advances incorporating emerging supply chain and industry initiatives. Over the last three years, our annual renewal rate of customers subscribing to comprehensive support and enhancements has been approximately 90%. We have the ability to remotely access the customer’s system in order to perform diagnostics, on-line assistance and assist in software upgrades. We offer 24x7 customer support plus software upgrades for an annual fee paid in advance, determined based on the level of service needed by the customer.

     Training. We offer training in a structured environment for new and existing users. Training programs are provided on a per-person, per-class basis at fixed fees. We currently have courses available to provide training on solution use, configuration, implementation and system administration. We have also developed several computer-based training programs that can be purchased for a fixed fee for use at client sites.

-7-

     Hardware. In conjunction with the licensing of our software, we resell a variety of hardware products developed and manufactured by third parties in order to provide our customers with an integrated supply chain execution solution. These products include computer hardware, radio frequency terminal networks, RFID chip readers, bar code printers and scanners, and other peripherals. We resell all third-party hardware products pursuant to agreements with manufacturers or through distributor-authorized reseller agreements pursuant to which we are entitled to purchase hardware products at discount prices and to receive technical support in connection with product installations and any subsequent product malfunctions. We generally purchase hardware from our vendors only after receiving an order from a customer. As a result, we do not maintain significant hardware inventory.

Sales and Marketing

     We employ multiple discipline sales teams that consist of professionals with industry experience in sales and technical sales support. To date, we have generated the majority of our revenue from sales of software through our direct sales force. We plan to continue to invest significantly to expand our sales, services and marketing organizations within the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia Pacific and to pursue strategic marketing partnerships. We conduct comprehensive marketing programs that include advertising, public relations, trade shows, joint programs with vendors and consultants and ongoing customer communication programs. The sales cycle typically begins with the generation of a sales lead, through in-house telemarketing efforts, trade shows or other means of referral, or the receipt of a request for proposal from a prospective customer. The sales lead or request for proposal is followed by the qualification of the lead or prospect, an assessment of the customer’s requirements, a formal response to the request for proposal, presentations and product demonstrations, site visits to an existing customer using our supply chain execution system and contract negotiation. The sales cycle can vary substantially from customer to customer, but typically requires three to nine months.

     In addition to sales to new customers, we will continue to leverage our existing customer base to provide for system upgrades, sales of additional licenses of purchased products and sales of new or add-on products. We also plan to further develop and expand our indirect sales channels, including sales through reseller agreements, marketing agreements and agreements with third-party logistics providers. To extend our market coverage and to provide us with new business leads and access to trained implementation personnel, we further intend to develop and expand our strategic alliances with systems integrators capable of performing implementations of our solutions. Business referrals and leads helping us to grow our business continue to be positively influenced by systems integrators, which include most of the large consulting firms and other systems consulting firms specializing in our targeted industries. We believe that our leadership position in providing SCE solutions perpetuates the willingness of systems integrators to recommend our solutions where appropriate.

     We have an established program intended to foster joint sales and marketing efforts with our business partners. In some cases, this included joint development work to make our products and our partner’s products interface seamlessly. Among others, partnerships arising from our Manhattan Associates Partner Program (MAP2) include: JDA Software Group, Inc., a leading global provider of integrated software and professional services to retailers and their suppliers; Intentia International AB, a leading global supplier of ERP solutions; ProClarity Corporation (formerly Knosys, Inc.), a provider of analytic front-end technology designed specifically for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services; Siemens Logistics and Assembly Systems, Inc, a world leader in providing system solutions from concept through implementation in manufacturing, automotive, distribution, parcel and freight, postal, air cargo, baggage handling and software applications; IBM, a globally recognized leader in technology solutions; and Accenture, a leading global consulting company.

Customers

To date, our customers have been suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and transportation providers in a variety of industries. The following table sets forth a representative list of customers that contracted to purchase solutions and services from us in 2004.

     Our top five customers in aggregate accounted for 16%, 16% and 14% of total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2002, 2003 or 2004.

Product Development

     Our development efforts are focused on adding new functionality to existing solutions, integrating the various solution offerings, enhancing the operability of our solutions across distributed and alternative hardware platforms, operating systems and database systems and developing new solutions. We believe that our future success depends in part upon our ability to continue to enhance existing solutions, to respond to dynamically changing customer requirements and to develop new or enhanced solutions that incorporate new technological developments and emerging supply chain and industry standards. To that end, our development efforts frequently focus on base system enhancements and the incorporation into our solutions of new user requirements and features identified and created through customer and industry interactions and systems implementations. As a result, we are able to continue to offer our customers a packaged, highly configurable solution with increasing functionality rather than a custom-developed software program. We have also developed interface toolkits for most major ERP systems to enhance communication and improve data flows between our core solutions and our clients’ host systems.

     We plan to principally conduct our development efforts internally in order to retain development knowledge and promote the continuity of programming standards; however, some projects that can be performed separately and/or require special skills may be outsourced. Periodically, we use third-party research and development companies to localize our products into Japanese, German, French and Spanish. We also established an off-shore development center in Bangalore, India during 2002, which now has more than 279 research and development professionals. The off-shore development center also employs several Indian citizens currently working for and holding extensive development experience with us.

     We continue to devote a significant portion of our research and development efforts to the enhancement and integration of all of our solutions. We have developed a release program for all solutions, which provides our customers with updates to all of our solutions. Our product development efforts will principally be focused on enhancement of our existing solutions, development of new solutions and modules and continued localization of our solutions into various international markets.

     Our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were $20.8 million, $27.0 million, and $28.8 million, respectively. We intend to continue to invest significantly in product development.

Competition

     Our solutions are targeted at the SCE market, which is rapidly consolidating, intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our solutions include:

	•	vendor and product reputation;
	•	compliance with industry standards;
	•	solution architecture;
	•	solution functionality and features;
	•	ease and speed of implementation;
	•	return on investment;
	•	solution quality and performance;
	•	total cost of ownership;
	•	solution price; and
	•	level of support.

-10-

     We believe that we compete favorably with respect to each of these factors. Our competitors are diverse and offer a variety of solutions directed at various aspects of the extended supply chain, as well as the enterprise as a whole. Our existing competitors include:

	•	the corporate information technology departments of current or potential customers capable of internally developing solutions;
	•	supply chain execution vendors, including Catalyst International, Inc., Highjump (3M), Optum, Inc., Provia Software, Inc., RedPrairie Corporation and SSA Global Technologies, Inc. among others;
	•	ERP or SCM application vendors with solutions or modules of their solution offering varying degrees of SCE functionality, such as i2 Technologies, Manugistics Group, Inc., Oracle Corp., Retek, Inc. and SAP AG; and
	•	smaller independent companies that have developed or are attempting to develop distribution center management software that competes with our SCE solutions.

     We may face competition in the future from ERP and SCM applications vendors and business application software vendors that may broaden their solution offerings by internally developing or by acquiring or partnering with independent developers of supply chain execution software. To the extent such ERP and SCM vendors develop or acquire systems with functionality comparable or superior to our solutions, their significant installed customer bases, long-standing customer relationships and ability to offer a broad solution could provide a significant competitive advantage over our solutions. In addition, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. Both Oracle and SAP have entered the market for SCM applications. We believe that the domain expertise required to compete provides us with a competitive advantage and is a significant barrier to market entry. However, some of our competitors have significant resources at their disposal, and the degree to which we will compete with these new products in the marketplace is still undetermined.

     Many of our competitors and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers than we do. In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond promptly and effectively to technological change and competitors’ innovations. We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not develop solutions comparable or superior in terms of price and performance features to those developed by us. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not be required to make substantial additional investments in connection with our research, development, marketing, sales and customer service efforts in order to meet any competitive threat, or that we will be able to compete successfully in the future. Increased competition may result in reductions in market share, pressure for price reductions and related reductions in gross margins, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to achieve our financial and business goals. We cannot give assurance that in the future we will be able to successfully compete against current and future competitors.

International Operations

     Our international revenue was approximately $33.4 million, $38.7 million and $48.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which represents approximately 19%, 20% and 23% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. International revenue includes all revenue derived from sales to customers outside the United States. We now have over 550 employees outside the United States. We have offices in Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives in Mexico and reseller partnerships in Latin America.

-11-

     We conduct our direct European operations principally out of offices in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and France, consisting of approximately 170 employees. Total revenue for European operations was approximately $29.3 million, $31.9 million and $35.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which represents approximately 17%, 16% and 17% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

However, we believe that this provides us only limited protection. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad, we cannot assure you that we will successfully deter misappropriation or independent third-party development of our technology or prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or obtaining and using our products or technology. In addition, policing unauthorized use of our solutions is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software solutions exist, software piracy could become a problem.

     As the number of supply chain management solutions in the industry increases and the functionality of these solutions further overlaps, companies that develop software may increasingly become subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights. Third parties may assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us in the future for current or future products. Any claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Any royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse determinations in such claims or litigation could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     We may be subject to additional risks as we enter into transactions in countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced. Legal protections of our rights may be ineffective in such countries. Litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the final outcome of such litigation. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad, we cannot assure that we will be successful in doing so, or that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of our technology or to prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our products or technology. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
