TIPPINGPOINT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

(1) Incorporation, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

TippingPoint Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in January 1999 and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in March 2000. We design, manufacture and market network security systems and appliances that deliver in-depth protection and attack eradication for corporate enterprises, government agencies, service providers and academic institutions.

 

As a result of the stage of our network security business, we expect to report operating losses through at least the end of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2005. We cannot assure you that we will ever achieve positive cash flow from our operations, and we face numerous risks associated with this business.

 

We have funded our activities primarily through private equity offerings, which included sales of our common stock and preferred stock, the initial public offering of our common stock on March 17, 2000, and borrowings under our term loan facility with a commercial bank, with which we also established a revolving loan facility. In July 2004, we amended the loan and security agreement with our lender relating to these facilities to, among other things, establish an additional equipment term loan facility, extend the maturity date of our revolving loan facility to July 31, 2006, increase the amount we may borrow under our revolving loan facility and improve the terms under which the company may borrow. We may need to raise additional funds at any time, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.

 

In the opinion of our management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of such information. We derived the balance sheet as of January 31, 2004 from our audited financial statements as of that date. While we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading, we suggest that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2004. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results we expect in future periods.

 

(a) Principles of Consolidation

 

In February 2004, we incorporated TippingPoint Technologies Europe B.V. as a subsidiary of TippingPoint Technologies, Inc. to act as our European sales office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In June 2004, we incorporated TippingPoint Holdings, Inc. as a subsidiary of TippingPoint Technologies, Inc. to serve as the U.S.-based holding company for all of our international subsidiaries. In July 2004 we also incorporated TippingPoint Technologies United Kingdom, Ltd. as a subsidiary of TippingPoint Holdings, Inc. to act as our sales office in the United Kingdom. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TippingPoint Technologies, Inc., TippingPoint Holdings, Inc. and our wholly owned Netherlands and United Kingdom subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(b) Revenue Recognition

 

We account for revenues in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement of Position 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” and its related interpretations. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of our hardware-based security systems is specified by the customer, revenues are deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Service revenues, which principally consist of our Digital Vaccine attack filter service and related support, are generally deferred and are recognized ratably over the period in which the services are to be performed, which is typically one to three years.

 

Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. We assess whether the

fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

 

Our sales involve multiple elements, including the sale of our products and related services. We use the residual method of accounting to recognize revenues when an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists.

 

We sell primarily to resellers, including value-added resellers, or VARs. We do not expect these resellers to hold significant inventories of our products, if at all. As a result, we expect returns to be minimal. If our estimate of returns is too low, additional charges will be incurred in future periods and these additional charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. We record discounts, if any, provided to resellers for achieving purchasing targets as a reduction of revenues on the date of sale.

 

(c) Inventories

 

Our inventory is stated at the lower of actual cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value (estimated net realizable value). The valuation of inventory at the lower of actual cost or market value requires us to use estimates regarding the amount of current inventory that will be sold and the prices at which it will be sold. These estimates are dependent on our assessment of expected orders from our customers. Additionally, these estimates reflect changes in our products or changes in demand because of various factors including the market for our products, obsolescence, technology changes and competition.

 

As of October 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, our inventory consisted of component parts of approximately $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and finished goods of approximately $2.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. A significant portion of our finished goods inventory is held for evaluation purposes at potential customer locations.

 

(d) Stock-Based Compensation
