PART I

This report and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” contained in Item 1A of this report, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Item 7 of this report and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in Item 7A of this report.

Item 1.   Business

Overview

Click Commerce, Inc (the “Company”) provides on-demand supply and demand chain management software and consulting, hosting and related services that enable users throughout the world to collaborate, in real time, with business partners across an extended enterprise. Our solutions support the unique business processes of a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and high-tech. The Company believes its products and services help its customers coordinate and optimize their business processes, lower their costs and improve their customer service.

The Company’s product offerings include its historic demand chain management solutions, supply chain management solutions, service parts planning and optimization solutions, master data management solutions, contract and service management solutions and eResearch and healthcare solutions. While each of these solutions has a unique focus and its own historic customer base, the Company’s target market, large multinational businesses, often require solutions from several of these categories.

Each of our solutions is designed to assist our customers with their key business processes. Our solutions are designed to help our customers:

·  coordinate and optimize business processes by providing visibility into partner activities and the tools for improved management of tasks and processes

·  shorten revenue cycles by standardizing sales and order management processes and facilitating collaborative commerce among trading partners

·  lower costs by reducing manual touchpoints and processing times

·  increase brand loyalty by assisting partners to provide better service

·  comply with regulatory requirements by speeding application preparation, eliminating routine errors and notifying research teams of approaching deadlines

·  enhance collaboration with customers and prospective customers

The Company believes that the quality, depth and scope of its various product offerings create opportunities for integrating and cross-selling its solutions from one product offering to its existing and future customers of other product offerings. For example, through several recent acquisitions, the Company has assembled a suite of products and services that enterprises can use to implement radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled supply chain solutions. The Company views the RFID market as important because major, industry-leading retail chains, including The Home Depot and Wal-Mart, have announced initiatives that will require their suppliers to become RFID-enabled. While the Company does not supply RFID transmitting or receiving devices, its RFID-enabling software that can process data from such devices and integrate and communicate that data to and among trading partners. The key enablement software, the Company’s data synchronization and secure communications product, is part of its master data management solutions product offering.

Historically, the Company realized most of its revenues from licensing of our software and related implementation and maintenance services. The Company’s software was usually installed on customer-owned hardware at a customer’s facility and was operated and maintained by the customer’s personnel. This software license model generally resulted in lengthy sales cycles, significant integration and implementation challenges and expenses and relatively large, but one-time, revenue recognition events for the Company.

Today, while still selling some product under the license model, the Company offers all of its products on a “Software as a Service” (“SaaS”) or a hosted, application service provider (“ASP”) basis. Under this SaaS model, the Company’s software is installed, operates and is maintained on Company-owned servers, which are monitored and maintained by Company personnel. While our software is still configured and integrated to our customers’ needs, implementation and integration challenges are substantially reduced. Under this approach, a customer’s monthly subscription and hosting fee is substantially less than the typical one-time license fee, but, over the life of the subscription generally produces equivalent or greater revenue to the Company. The lower up-front costs and integration hurdles tend to reduce customer approval requirements and shorten sales cycles.

More than 1,500 customers in manufacturing, aerospace and defense, high technology, retail, financial services, healthcare and higher education fields utilize the Company’s solutions. For example, the Mobile Devices unit of Motorola uses the Company’s Demand Chain solution to manage its global partner network. Lockheed Martin utilizes the Company’s Service Parts Planning and Optimization Solution to support its Performance Based Logistics contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense. In addition, many top medical research institutions in North America use the Company’s compliance automation software including Johns Hopkins University, Washington University and the University of Michigan.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in August of 1996. Our executive offices are located in Chicago, Illinois. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “CKCM.” As used herein, Click Commerce (the “Company”) includes Click Commerce, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company’s internet address is: www.clickcommerce.com. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this report. The Company makes available free of charge through its website its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and Section 16 reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such documents are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The internet website and the information contained therein or incorporated therein are not intended to be incorporated into this annual report on Form 10-K.

Demand Chain Management Solutions

The historic Click Commerce Demand Chain Management solution offers an integrated demand chain management and e-commerce solution. It includes over 35 software components that automate communication and business processes across distribution channels. The Company’s software is customized for each of its customers, and each of its customers can allow each of its users to further customize it—establishing, for example, the individual user’s language, time zone and currency preferences. Supported demand chain business processes include:

·  Partner recruitment and profiling

·  Lead management and distribution

·  Price and quotation management

·  Integrated quote-to-order and lead-to-order

4




·  Monitoring and tracking of warranty claims and returns

·  Training and certification

·  Channel forecasting

·  Point-of-sale analysis

·  Marketing funds management

With the Click Commerce Demand Chain Management solution, we believe that our customers can gain a better understanding of who their partners are, what they sell, where they sell and to whom they sell. Using this information, we believe that our customers can more easily identify gaps in their partner coverage and then target, qualify and recruit the new partners they need to fill these gaps and build their businesses.

Supply Chain Management Solutions

Click Commerce’s Supply Chain Management solutions, which were acquired in February 2005, provide supply chain execution and warehouse management solutions for multi-tiered supply chains and include an RFID-ready demand fulfillment solution. These solutions enable supply network communications, coordinate business processes and services, and optimize supply chain functions. With this technology, Click Commerce’s clients can receive orders and other information from their customers who have implemented RFID initiatives and can run their warehouse and fulfillment operations using the same RFID information that their customers use in their retail operations. The Company’s solutions are designed to function independently of one another, or in tandem for tailored enterprise network environments. Supported supply chain business processes include:

·  Supplier Enablement

·  Fulfillment Coordination

·  Service Logistics

·  Shipment Execution

·  Warehouse Management

Each solution includes Click Commerce’s rapid integration platform, best business practice methods, and a supply chain intelligence dashboard.

Service Parts Planning and Optimization Solutions

The Click Commerce Service Parts Planning and Optimization solutions, which were acquired in May 2005, are designed to improve the performance of our customers’ service and repair activities and their investments in spare parts inventories. These solutions are particularly important for companies in the aerospace, defense, automotive and high technology industries, where maintaining and repairing complex equipment is critical. These products are designed to help optimize the procurement and distribution of spare parts inventories, the deployment of parts to optimal stocking locations, and the flow and disposition of inventory through the repair loop and back into usable stock. The Company’s Service Parts Planning and Optimization solution applications have a broad view of the service network and provide world-class planning capabilities coupled with an integrated tool for bridging the information gaps between partners. Embedded algorithms identify and address issues related to a company’s service parts supply chain and help companies determine disposition and routing at each step: return, receipt, repair, and restock. Supported service supply chain business processes include:

·  Parts Planning Optimization

5




·  Product Acquisition

·  Reverse Logistics

·  Inspection and Testing

·  Reconditioning and Repair

·  Distribution and Sales

Master Data Management Solutions

The Click Commerce Master Data Management (MDM) solutions, acquired in November 2005, consolidate and manage widely distributed master product data within an enterprise. These solutions provide a single, consolidated version of this information that improves the accuracy of dependent systems and reduces errors that arise from data duplication and inaccuracy. This product is intended to address problems caused by a company maintaining its master data in raw or “native” form in multiple, disconnected Enterprise Resource Planning applications (ERP) and other systems and lacking detailed descriptions, product attributes and classification structures that permit corporate-wide analysis and visibility into cost and performance. The Company’s customers’ use its MDM solutions to deliver core services and infrastructure to turn raw master data into more readily available product information that can be acted upon to cut costs, deliver products faster and boost competitiveness. Supported MDM business processes include:

·  Cleansing and Normalizing Existing Data

·  Organizing and Mapping Data to Internal Structures

·  Integration to MDM/ERP Legacy Systems

·  Master Data Maintenance

The MDM solution does not replace enterprise applications or the data contained therein. Rather, the solution enhances the existing ERP system, helping reduce customer costs by integrating its solution with tools and processes already deployed throughout an organization. The Company’s data synchronization and secure communications solutions, acquired in 2004, complement the Company’s MDM capabilities by allowing companies to communicate their normalized master data with their trading partner community via the Internet. Data synchronization is an industry-wide retail initiative that requires manufacturers and suppliers to “sync” product information with their retailer customers.

Contract and Service Management Solutions

The Click Commerce Contract and Service Management products, acquired, in February 2006, are on-demand e-commerce solutions for service businesses. They enable the Company’s customers to manage their complete services and contractor management life cycle. Customers use these solutions to find, evaluate, purchase, manage and pay for a wide variety of outsourcing, professional and other services. The solutions handle multiple types of services contracts and payment structures such as time and materials, retained relationships, milestones, blanket orders, service level based payments and volume based contracts. Using these solutions, our customers realize the following benefits:

·  Compliance with key policies, laws and controls for corporate reporting, including Sarbanes-Oxley, and labor and staffing

·  Visibility into spend volumes, supplier performance, and efficiency

eResearch and Healthcare Solutions

The Click Commerce eResearch and Healthcare solutions help healthcare and higher education institutions improve response time and accuracy of approval processes by connecting research departments through administrative Extranets. The Company’s software automates labor-intensive review and approval processes into more easily navigated, flexible sequences of workflows. Supported eResearch and Healthcare business processes include:

·  Grant and Contract Management

·  Institutional Review Board Review

·  Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Review

·  Clinical Trials Discovery

·  Incident Reporting

·  Conflict of Interest Reporting

Industry Background

Traditional phone, fax and paper-based communications systems are labor intensive, inefficient and prone to error. Companies historically dedicated significant resources and time to the manual entry of information from faxed or phoned-in purchase orders and the manual processing of paper checks, invoices and shipping notices. While spreadsheets and e-mail are also used to manage their partner relationships, even these electronic systems can be difficult to integrate and inefficient. The large volume of paper generated by these systems and the mass of information to be sorted and processed frequently produce hidden costs such as errors and delays in information delivery. Timely changes can be difficult to implement in manually intensive processes and the cost related to such changes can be significant. For example, a paper-based catalog cannot be quickly or inexpensively updated to inform customers of changes in product offerings, availability or pricing. In addition, a manufacturer and the members of its distribution network often have limited capability to track orders, inventory, warranties and other information or to compile useful databases using paper-based or semi-automated processes. These forms of communicationdo not permit , manufacturers and their business partners to exchange information on a real-time basis, preventing easy access to key information needed to transact business with the manufacturer or its channel partners. Manufacturers may also suffer from differences in language and time zone, which are barriers that traditional methods cannot easily overcome.

Increasing market and supply chain complexity motivates companies to improve operations and communications with their supplier community. The continued growth of outsourced manufacturing, increased focus on low-cost international materials procurement, and heavy market reliance on vendor or supplier managed inventory programs to control costs require a solid infrastructure for coordinating the extended supply network. Traditional enterprise systems tend not to provide the visibility and control required to efficiently manage and synchronize extended business processes, resulting in excess operating costs and poor customer service. The ability to view complete and accurate orders, integrate data, and manage inventory and activities for effective fulfillment execution is necessary to effectively respond to challenging customer requirements and achieve competitive advantage.

Growth Strategy

Our objective is to offer comprehensive business-to-business automation solutions that optimize the internal and external business processes of large, global companies, including their channel partners and their supplier community. Key elements of our strategy to achieve this objective include:

Delivering Industry-Specific Solutions.   We believe that, based on the breadth of the applications that we offer, we have a comprehensive business-to-business software, integration and hosting

7




solutions currently available for large, global companies. By packaging and marketing these solutions along with maintaining a highly referenceable client base, we believe that we address the existing market needs of high technology, industrial and consumer product manufacturing, retail, higher education and health care, financial services.

Targeting Large, Global Enterprises.   By focusing on the complex requirements of these companies, we believe our solutions give our customers certain competitive advantages, such as improved efficiency, financial performance, customer service and brand loyalty, by effectively managing their complex external distribution and procurement networks and internal resource allocation functions. We specifically target divisions of these large companies. There are often opportunities to sell to other products to the same division or similar products to other divisions within the organization, providing leverage in our sales model. We intend to continue to primarily target large, multi-national corporations.

Providing Value-Added Services to Our Customers.   We plan to grow our complementary service offerings to deliver additional value to our customers. Through our client implementations, we have developed expertise and best practices in managing partner relationships and in launching solutions, driving adoption, hosting, administering and optimizing our software and the network environment. These new service initiatives are expected to attract both new and existing customers, strengthening our business case for sales to new customers and additional sales to current customers.

Acquiring Complementary Businesses.   The Company continues to evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire completmentary businesses that will increase the breadth and depth of our compliance automation and RFID-enabling product offerings. We look for combinations that can enlarge our customer base, provide additional revenue streams and leverage our existing corporate and technical infrastructure.

Technology

We deliver our applications through integrated, high-performance technologies designed for maximum compatibility with our customers’ existing systems and computing environments. Our underlying platform is based on the latest open standards platform, and provides the tools necessary to derive maximum return on investment for our customers:

·  Click Commerce packaged applications help manage critical trading partner interactions

·  Our platform supports real-time configuration and distributed administration for greater business flexibility

·  Through easy-to-use web interfaces, business users can modify workflows and detailed feature configuration to align the system to business needs

·  Our platform takes advantage of the latest open standards to facilitate integration with customer relationship management tools, enterprise resource planning systems, portals and custom enterprise systems

·  Implementation tools cover customization, deployment, management, and upgrades. These tools are part of an integrated environment providing access across the system

·  Our software has configurable security, which operates throughout the levels of a system, from encryption of network traffic to business-oriented authorization policies

·  Our platform is multi-lingual for international deployments, and its open standards platform provides high-performance, cost-effective, reliable and scalable operations

Research and Development

We have made and will continue to make investments in research and development through internal development, licensed technology and acquisitions. In fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, we spent approximately $7.0 million, $2.9 million, and $2.4 million, respectively, on research and development. Our research and development staff is responsible for enhancing our existing products and services and expanding our product line and services offerings. Our current product development activities focus on product enhancements to increase the robustness, functionality and ease of integration of our configurable applications and the integration of external services and partner technology.

Sales and Marketing

The Company markets applications and services through its direct sales force. The Company’s sales force is assisted throughout the sales process by a team of Click Commerce business consultants and project managers. This team oversees the project from start to finish and is responsible for installing the collaborative commerce or compliance solutions. To complement our direct sales efforts, we also use methods such as telemarketing, direct mail campaigns, website marketing and speaking engagements to build market awareness. Substantially all of our clients have historically provided strong references to our sales prospects.

We focus our marketing efforts on educating our target market, generating new sales opportunities and creating awareness of our solutions and integration services through Internet and telemarketing efforts. We have engaged in marketing activities such as industry conferences and trade shows, industry analyst programs and advisory councils. Our marketing professionals also produce marketing materials that include data sheets, brochures and white papers, to support sales to prospective customers.

Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

Our success and ability to compete is affected by our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark laws, confidentiality and nondisclosure procedures, contractual provisions and other similar measures to protect our proprietary information. Any patents issued to us may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. Any of our pending or future patent applications, whether or not being currently challenged, may not be issued within the scope of the claims we seek, if at all. Furthermore, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design around our patents. As part of our confidentiality procedures, we enter into nondisclosure agreements with virtually all of our employees, directors, contractors, consultants, corporate partners, customers and prospective customers. These legal protections, however, afford only limited protection for our technology. Due to rapid technological change, we believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments and enhancements to existing solutions are more important than the various legal protections in establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. Click Commerce does hold several patents in configuration technology and has one patent pending for security management in a multi-channel environment.

Despite our best efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our solutions or technology that we consider proprietary and third parties may attempt to develop similar technology independently. Policing unauthorized use of our solutions is difficult. While we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software exists, we expect software piracy to be a persistent problem. In addition, effective protection of proprietary rights may be unavailable or limited in certain countries. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Overall, the protection of our proprietary rights may not be adequate, and our competitors may independently develop similar technology.

We are not aware that our solutions, trademarks, copyrights or other proprietary rights infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However, we have not reviewed all existing patents and patent applications in order to determine whether grounds exist for an infringement claim against us. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future with respect to current or future products. Further, we expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of potential products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of solutions in different industry segments overlaps. From time to time, we hire or retain employees or consultants who have worked for independent software vendors or other companies developing solutions similar to those offered by us. Those prior employers may claim that our solutions are based on their products and that we have misappropriated their intellectual property. Any claims of that variety, with or without merit, could cause a significant diversion of management attention, result in costly and protracted litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Those royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Competition

The market for our products is intensely competitive, subject to rapid technological change and is significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. There are relatively few barriers to entry in the Internet-based software market, and we expect competition to persist and intensify in the future. We currently have four primary sources of competition: in-house development teams of our potential clients; large software and enterprise resource planning vendors; infrastructure and platform providers; and independent software vendors. In the past, when competing for

customers, we have directly competed with providers of alternative products and services, including those identified in the table below.

The number and nature of competitors and the competition that we will experience are likely to change substantially in the future.

We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include speed of implementation, price, knowledge of the industry and its related distribution channels, core technology, an ability to integrate and interoperate with existing technology and the financial capacity of the respective vendors. Although we believe that our products and integration services currently compete favorably with respect to most of these factors, our market is evolving rapidly. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly broader product lines and/or greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources.

Some of our competitors have longer operating histories in related markets, greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers in related markets. Moreover, a number of our competitors, particularly major business software companies (including those known for their enterprise resource management, database, customer relationship or other software) have well-established relationships with our current and potential customers, as well as with independent systems consultants and other vendors and service providers that may influence certain customer’s product selection processes. In addition, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products, than we can.

In addition, some of our customers are software companies that use certain of our software products, particularly our master data management solutions, as components or modules of their larger and more comprehensive enterprise resource management software systems or bundle our software products with their products to complete the range of functionality required by their customers. These software companies may design and develop their own software solutions to replace our software products or could acquire alternative solutions from third parties. If our customers develop or acquire alternative software solutions, we could lose sales or be forced to lower our prices to maintain these customer relationships.

Such competition could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain revenues from either license, maintenance and/or service contracts with new or existing customers on terms favorable to us. Further, competitive pressures may require us to reduce the price of our products and services. In either case, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, our full-time headcount was 262. Our employees are not represented by a labor union, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. In order to provide benefits to our employees in a cost-effective manner, we have a client services agreement with Administaff Companies, Inc. (“Administaff”) under which Administaff provides us with certain personnel management services, such as payroll, medical and dental insurance and the administration of our 401(k) plan. Under the agreement, Administaff and the Company are intended to be co-employers of all of our employees. Co-employment is necessary for Administaff to administer payroll and sponsor and maintain benefit plans.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business

Acquisitions or investments in other technology companies or related businesses may disrupt or otherwise have a negative impact on our business and dilute shareholder value.

We have and may continue to acquire or make investments in complementary businesses, technologies, services or products, or enter into relationships with parties who can provide access to those assets, if appropriate opportunities arise. From time to time we have had discussions and negotiations with companies regarding our acquiring, investing in or partnering with their businesses, products, services or technologies, and we regularly engage in these discussions and negotiations in the ordinary course of our business. We may not identify suitable acquisition, investment or relationship candidates, or if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not complete those transactions on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we acquire another company, we could have difficulty in assimilating that company’s personnel, operations, technology and software. In addition, the personnel of the acquired company may decide not to work for us. If we make other types of acquisitions, we could have difficulty in integrating the acquired products, services or technologies into our operations. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. Furthermore, we may incur indebtedness or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities would dilute the ownership interests of the holders of our common stock.

Integration of recent acquisitions may result in a significant use of capital.

Our recent acquisitions have required various expenditures and the assumption of indebtedness. Integration of these acquisitions may result in further cash outlays.

We are dependent on the success of our suite of applications and related services for our success.

To date, substantially all of our revenues have been attributable to sales of licenses and related services, consisting of hosting, site administration, implementation, integration with a customer’s existing back-office computer systems and maintenance and support of our software products. We currently expect our suite of applications and related services to account for a substantial portion of our future revenues. Accordingly, factors adversely affecting the pricing of or demand for our suite of applications, such as competition or technological change, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Our future financial performance will depend, in significant part, on the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our suite of applications and of new products and services that we develop or acquire. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in upgrading and continuing to market our suite of applications or that we will successfully develop or acquire new products and services or that any new products and services will achieve market acceptance.

12




Our business is subject to quarterly fluctuations in operating results, which may negatively impact the price of our common stock.

While our growing base of recurring maintenance, hosting and subscription revenues provides revenues which are more predictable than sales of software licenses and related implementation services, we still have significant revenues that are not recurring or accurately predictable in succeeding quarters. Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past, and we expect that they will continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future due to variations in sales of software licenses and related implementation services and the additional results of operations from acquired businesses. We have difficulty predicting the volume and timing of contracts, and short delays in closing contracts or in implementation of products can cause our operating results to fall substantially short of anticipated levels for any particular quarter. This is, in part, due to the fact that our products tend to have long sales cycles, which makes it difficult to predict the periods in which we will recognize revenue and may cause operating results to vary significantly. As a result of these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and are not a reliable predictor of our future performance. We may not be successful in generating and sustaining recurring revenue streams to offset the above effects.

In addition, we regularly incur expenses to develop products and service offerings ancillary to our existing line of products and services. These expenses are variable and may affect our earnings and may result in losses in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Finally, the Company may incur costs related to the investigation of acquisitions

If we are unable to complete a substantial number of sales contracts when anticipated or experience delays in the process or problems with satisfying contract terms, we may have to defer or withhold recognition of revenue, causing our quarterly results to fluctuate and fall below anticipated levels. For contracts in which revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, we may not be able to recognize all or a portion of the revenue because milestones were not achieved or the level of hours incurred fell short of expectations. If we are unable to complete one or more substantial anticipated license sales or experience problems with satisfying contract terms required for revenue recognition in a particular quarter, we may not be able to recognize revenue when anticipated. We may, nonetheless, recognize marketing and other expenses, causing our quarterly results to fluctuate and fall below anticipated levels.

For all of these reasons, in some future quarters or years our operating results may be below the expectations of investors, which could cause volatility or a decline in the price of our common stock.

An economic slowdown, particularly in information technology, may adversely impact our business.

Our business has been adversely impacted by past economic slowdowns that resulted in a decline in information technology spending by our customers and potential customers. The adverse impacts from an economic slowdown include longer sales cycles, lower average selling prices and reduced bookings and revenue. Any future economic slowdowns could adversely impact our business.

We license certain software from third parties.

We license a small amount of software from third parties. These third party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms. The loss of, or inability to maintain, any of these software licenses could result in shipment delays or reductions in revenue. This could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

13




We will not be able to achieve desired growth in our business if we cannot increase our direct and indirect sales channels.

Our products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at several people within our prospective clients’ organizations. We believe that our success is dependent upon developing more economical sales efforts which may include establishing strategic relationships with third parties. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in achieving these economies in our direct or indirect sales or in establishing these desired relationships or that these third parties will devote adequate resources or have the technical and other sales capabilities to sell our products. The failure to achieve expected sales could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We face competition and may face future competition.

The market for software products and services that enable business-to-business e-commerce is intensely competitive, rapidly changing. There are relatively few barriers to entry in many of the markets in which we operate. We expect competition to persist and intensify, which could result in our losing market share or lowering our prices.

In addition, some of our customers are software companies that use certain of our software products, particularly our master data management solutions, as components or modules of their larger and more comprehensive enterprise resource management software systems or bundle our software products with their products to complete the range of functionality required by their customers. These software companies may design and develop their own software solutions to replace our software products or could acquire alternative solutions from third parties. If our customers develop or acquire alternative software solutions, we could lose sales or be forced to lower our prices to maintain these customer relationships.

Some of our competitors have advantages over us.

Some of our existing competitors, as well as potential future competitors, are multi-billion dollar, international, software providers with longer operating histories in markets related to ours, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than our Company. These advantages may allow them to respond more quickly and effectively to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. It may also allow them to engage in more extensive research and development, undertake farther-reaching marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, implement their products and services more rapidly, and make more attractive offers to potential employees and other business associates. One or more of these companies could adopt a different business strategy for achieving profitability, which could allow them to charge fees that are lower than ours, in order to attract clients. 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 or services to address the needs of our current and prospective clients.

Our chief executive officer is critical to our business.

Our future success depends to some extent upon the continued service of our chief executive officer. The services of Michael W. Ferro, Jr., our founder, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer would be difficult to replace.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights or face a claim of intellectual property infringement by a third party, we could lose our intellectual property rights or be liable for significant damages.

Our success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology. We have a small number of patents, and limited plans to initiate applications for any new patents. Unauthorized parties could copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate, and our competitors may independently develop

14




similar technology or duplicate our products or our other intellectual property rights. Our failure to protect our proprietary rights adequately, or our competitors’ successful duplication of our technology, could negatively affect our operating results and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

In addition, we have agreed, and may agree in the future, to indemnify certain of our customers against claims that our software infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others. We could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves and our customers against infringement claims. In the event of a claim of infringement, we and our customers could be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We or our customers may be unable to obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost, or at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such required licenses could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Litigation over intellectual property rights could disrupt or otherwise have a negative impact on our business.

There has been frequent litigation in the computer industry regarding intellectual property rights. Third parties may make claims of infringement by us with respect to current or future products, trademarks or other proprietary rights. These claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention, cause product release or service delays, require us to redesign our products or services or require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements. Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we become subject to product liability litigation, it could be costly and time consuming to defend.

Since our products are used for company-wide, integral computer applications with significant potential impact on our customers’ sales of their products, any errors, defects or other performance problems with our products could result in financial or other loss for our customers. Although we have contractual limits to our liability, product liability litigation would be time consuming and costly to defend, even if we are successful.

We have disclosed pro forma financial information.

We prepare and release quarterly unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also have disclosed and discussed certain pro forma financial information in certain previous earnings releases and related investor conference calls. This pro forma financial information excluded certain non-cash charges, consisting primarily of amortization of stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, accretion related to preferred stock, amortization of intangible assets and certain income tax expense or benefit. Disclosure of pro forma results of operations was also required in relation to our acquisitions to present certain results as if these acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the related reporting periods presented. Although we believe the disclosure of pro forma information may have helped investors more meaningfully evaluate the results of our ongoing operations and although we provided a reconciliation of the pro forma information to our GAAP financial statements, we urge investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K and our quarterly earnings releases and compare that GAAP financial information with the pro forma financial results previously disclosed in the related earnings releases and investor calls.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We are highly dependent on the acceptance and effectiveness of the Internet as a medium for business-to-business commerce.

Our future revenues and the success of a number of our products and services are dependent in large part on an increase in the use of the Internet for business-to-business commerce. The failure of the Internet to continue to develop as a commercial or business medium could harm our business, operating

15




results and financial condition. The acceptance and use of the Internet for business-to-business e-commerce could be limited by a number of factors, such as the growth and the use of the Internet in general, the threat of illegal activity that causes performance degradations at unprotected sites across the Internet, the relative ease of conducting business on the Internet, the efficiencies and improvements that conducting commerce on the Internet provides, concerns about transaction security and taxation of transactions on the Internet.

We depend on the speed and reliability of the Internet.

The growth in Internet traffic has occasionally caused periods of decreased performance. If Internet usage continues to grow rapidly, its infrastructure may not be able to support these demands and its performance and reliability may decline. Decreased performance at some unprotected Internet sites has also been attributed to illegal attacks by third parties. If outages or delays on the Internet occur more frequently or businesses are not able to protect themselves adequately from such illegal attacks, business-to-business e-commerce could grow more slowly or decline, which might reduce demand for our software products and services. The ability of our products to satisfy our customers’ needs is ultimately limited by, and depends upon, the speed and reliability of the Internet. Consequently, the emergence and growth of the market for our software products and services depends upon improvements being made to the entire Internet to improve security and alleviate overloading and congestion. If these improvements are not made, the ability of our customers to benefit from our products and services will be hindered, and our business, operating results and financial condition could suffer.

Increased security risks of the Internet may deter future use of our software products and services.

A fundamental requirement of Internet-based, business-to-business software is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other developments might result in a compromise or a breach of the security features contained in our software or the algorithms used by our customers and their business partners to protect content and transactions on Internet e-commerce marketplaces or proprietary information in our customers’ and their business partners’ databases. Anyone who is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate proprietary, confidential customer information or cause interruptions in our customers’ and their business partners’ operations. Our customers and their business partners may be required to incur significant costs to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches, reducing the demand for our software products and services. Further, a well-publicized compromise of security could deter businesses from using the Internet to conduct transactions that involve transmitting confidential information. The failure of the security features of our software to prevent security breaches, or well-publicized security breaches affecting the Internet in general, could significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Internet-related laws could adversely affect our business.

Regulation of the Internet is largely unsettled. The adoption of laws, regulations or taxes that increase the costs or administrative burdens of doing business using the Internet could cause companies to seek an alternative means of transacting business. If the adoption of new Internet laws, regulations or taxes causes companies to seek alternative methods for conducting business, the demand for our software products and services could decrease and our business could be adversely affected.

Holders of Record

As of March 24, 2006, there were 248 holders of record of our common stock. The number of holders of record is not representative of the number of beneficial holders because many shares are held by depositories, brokers or other nominees.

Dividends

On May 1, 2003, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $2.50 per share of our common stock (“Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend was paid on June 4, 2003 to stockholders of record on May 20, 2003. On May 20, 2003, we had 8,136,643 shares of common stock outstanding, which resulted in a total Special Dividend payment of approximately $20,342,000. Prior to the declaration and payment of the Special Dividend, we had never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to support our growth strategy and do not anticipate paying further cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer

On October 18, 2005, the Company repurchased 181,024 shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $15.50 per share, or $2,805,872 in the aggregate, from Commerce 5, Inc. (formerly known as ChannelWave, Inc.) and a former executive officer of Commerce 5.

Item 7.                        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “hope,” “assume,” “estimate” and other similar words and expressions. The statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the ability of the Company to integrate acquisitions or investments in other companies, the extent of customer acceptance and utilization of channel management products and services, the impact of competitive products and services, the volume and timing of customer contracts, changes in technology, deployment delays or errors associated with Click Commerce’s products and the ability to protect Click Commerce’s intellectual property rights. For a discussion of these and other risk factors that could affect Click Commerce’s business, see “Risk Factors” and “Quantitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk” set forth elsewhere in this report.

The shares of the Company’s common stock are expected to be registered for resale on a Registration Statement on Form S-1. The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million of transaction costs.

The Company focused its efforts in 2004 and 2005 on maintaining and improving profitability as well as broadening its product offerings through acquisitions. In 2004 and 2005, the Company reported increasing profits in each quarter. Management plans to continue investing in developing new and improved product offerings and in increasing the exposure of the Company’s products and services through its targeted marketing programs. Management further believes that each investment must be prudently made and justified by the expected return on such investment.

The Company offers several licensing and service options for its software products. Customers can either purchase a perpetual software license or enter into a subscription license contract. Customers may also choose to use our hosting services for their perpetual software license or install the software on servers within their own internal environment. Subscription licenses are typically only available to customers who also use our hosting services.

Perpetual license revenues and professional services are usually recognized as the software or service is delivered, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met and do not provide a contractual, predictable future revenue stream. The recurring revenue opportunities come from subscriptions or maintenance and hosting services. While the Company may have better visibility of future revenue from subscription licenses, our customers make the final decision on the form of their software license. The Company encourages all of its customers to use its hosting services.

The Company depends on several factors to increase revenue and maintain profitability: adding new customers, maintaining its current base of subscription, hosting and maintenance revenues, and improving the gross margins of our professional services. Adding new customers is the primary responsibility of the sales department. Maintaining the other revenue streams is the responsibility of our professional services

22




department. The Company has developed compensation structures for these departments that it believes provide appropriate incentives for achievement of their respective goals.

The Company’s revenue is principally driven from sales of perpetual licenses or subscriptions to its software. The Company also recognizes revenue from services, including hosting site administration, implementation services, training, maintenance and customer support.

Cost of product license revenues includes production and shipping expenses, which are expensed as incurred, amortization of developed technology, and the costs of licensing third party software incorporated into or required by the Company’s products. These third party license costs are expensed as the products are delivered under perpetual licenses or subscriptions or over the maintenance period to the extent that the third party license costs related to those product offerings. Cost of service revenues include salaries and related expenses for professional services and technical support personnel who provide hosting, site administration, implementation services, training, maintenance and customer support, as well as an allocation of data processing and direct overhead costs which are expensed as incurred.

Operating expenses are classified into five general categories: sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of stock-based compensation. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions, travel, public relations and marketing materials. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs to support product development.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for executive management, finance and administrative employees, legal and accounting services, and corporate liability insurance. Amortization of intangible assets represents amortization expense for certain intangible assets with finite useful lives, which were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Allegis Corporation March 24, 2003, Webridge on April 21, 2004, bTrade on July 1, 2004, ChannelWave on February 2, 2005, Optum on February 7, 2005, Xelus on May 27, 2005 and Requisite on November 22, 2005. The intangible assets are identified, valued and classified into separate categories. The categories are customer relationships, order backlog, trade names and in-process research and development. The amortization of developed technologies is recorded in the cost of product license line item on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Amortization of stock based compensation represents the amortization over the related service period of the difference between the exercise price of options granted and the deemed fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by similarly-sized software and technology companies, particularly companies in new, rapidly evolving markets. The Company may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. These judgments and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill, business acquisitions, accounting for income taxes, and allowances for doubtful accounts and returns.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from (i) licensing software, (ii) providing technical support and product updates, otherwise known as maintenance (iii) application hosting, and (iv) providing professional services, including site administration, implementation and training services.

23




Revenue recognition rules for software companies are very complex. The Company recognizes software fees in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”). Although the Company follows very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue, the application of those guidelines requires judgment including: (i) whether a software arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for those elements; (ii) whether customizations or modifications of the software are significant; and (iii) whether collection of the software fee is probable. Additionally, the Company specifically evaluates any other elements in our license transactions, including but not limited to options to purchase additional software at a future date, extended payment terms, functionality commitments not delivered with the software, if any, and existing outstanding receivable balances in making the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

Most of the Company’s software arrangements include professional services. Professional services revenues are generally accounted for separately from the software license revenues because the arrangements qualify as separate elements in accordance with SOP 97-2. The most significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for as separate elements include the nature of the services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product), degree of risk and timing of payments. Professional services are provided under services agreements on a time and material basis or based on a fixed-price arrangement. The revenues from time and material based professional consulting and implementation services are recognized as the work is performed, provided that the customer has a contractual obligation to pay, the fee is non-refundable and collection is probable. Delays in project implementation will result in delays in revenue recognition. For professional consulting services under fixed-price arrangements, the related revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, with progress-to-completion measured by using actual to-date labor inputs compared to estimated total labor inputs to complete the associated project. Revisions to the estimates are reflected in the period in which changes become known. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. If the Company does not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed, or if the projects are not managed properly within the planned periods of time, then future consulting margins on such projects may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized.

The Company also provides hosting services to customers that have licensed the Company’s software on a perpetual basis. In such cases and in accordance with EITF 00-3, the hosting revenue is considered a separate contractual element of the arrangement and is recognized according to SOP 97-2. The Company typically determines the fair value of the hosting services based on the stated renewal rate of the hosting services, which is deemed substantive by management.

The Company also provides maintenance services which are typically paid up-front and recognized over a stated future service period. The Company determines the fair value of maintenance services based on the stated renewal rate for additional maintenance terms based on renewal rates charged separately to other companies. Rates for maintenance, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement and are deemed to be substantive by management.

24




Business Acquisitions

In accordance with business combination accounting, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies or lines of businesses acquired to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. Third party appraisal firms have been used by the Company to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts and acquired developed technologies and patents; the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position, and value of assembled workforces in the acquired company’s product portfolio; and discount rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

In connection with purchase price allocations, management estimates the fair value of the support obligations assumed in connection with acquisitions. The estimated fair value of the support obligations is determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach determines fair value by estimating the costs related to fulfilling the obligations plus a normal profit margin. The estimated costs to fulfill the support obligations are based on historical direct costs related to providing the support services and to correct any errors in the software products acquired. The Company does not include any costs associated with selling efforts or research and development or the related fulfillment margins on these costs. Profit associated with selling effort is excluded because the acquired entities would have concluded the selling effort on the support contracts prior to the acquisition date. The estimated research and development costs are not included in the fair value determination, as these costs are not deemed to represent a legal obligation at the time of acquisition. The sum of the costs and operating profit approximates, in theory, the amount that would be required to pay a third party to assume the support obligation.

Other significant estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions include restructuring costs. Restructuring costs are primarily comprised of severance costs, costs of consolidating duplicate facilities and contract termination costs. Restructuring expenses are based upon plans that have been committed to by management but which are subject to refinement. To estimate restructuring expenses, management utilizes assumptions of the number of employees that would be involuntarily terminated and of future costs to operate and eventually vacate duplicate facilities. Estimated restructuring expenses may change as management executes the approved plan. Decreases to the estimates of executing the currently approved plans associated with pre-merger activities of the companies acquired are recorded as an adjustment to goodwill indefinitely, whereas increases to the estimates are recorded as an adjustment to goodwill during the purchase price allocation period (generally within one year of the acquisition date) and as operating expenses thereafter.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the

25




amount expected to be realized. In assessing the realizablility of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Allowances for doubtful accounts and returns

Management makes judgments as to the ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. For those invoices not specifically reviewed, provisions are recorded at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable. In determining these percentages, management analyzes the historical collection experience and current economic trends. If the historical data used to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004

Revenue

In the year ended December 31, 2005, total revenues increased $33.0 million or 128.2% to $58.7 million from $25.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. Product license revenue consists of revenue from the sales of perpetual software licenses and from product elements of agreements accounted for under the percentage-of-completion basis. Product license revenue increased $5.6 million or 133.0% from $4.2 million in 2004 to $9.8 million in 2005. $0.7 million of this increase relates to internal growth from the Company’s legacy product lines, while the remaining $4.9 million increase relates to agreements entered into by companies acquired in 2005. Of the increase related to acquisitions, 57.1% related to the Optum (“supply chain management product line”) acquisition and the remaining 42.9% of the increase related to the Xelus (“service parts planning and optimization product line”) acquisition. The $0.7 internal growth related to licenses sold to the Company’s health care and retail industry verticals.

Maintenance and hosting revenues increased by $15.5 million or 168.8% to $24.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $9.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. Internal growth from legacy product lines accounted for 28.8% of this increase while the remaining 140.0%, or $12.8 million, increase in revenue resulted from the Company’s 2005 acquisitions. Of the $12.8 million increase related to acquisitions, $6.5 million or 50.8% related to the supply chain product line, $5.8 million or 45.3%, related to the service parts planning and optimization product line and $0.5 million or 3.9% related to Requisite (“master data management product line”) acquisition. The data synchronization and secure communications, research and health care product lines accounted for 78.0% of the Company’s internal growth.

Consulting and implementation service revenue increased $6.7 million or 66.6% to $16.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $10.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company’s 2005 acquisitions accounted for $8.6 million of this increase. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s legacy product line revenues of $1.7 million. The $8.6 million of consulting and implementation service revenue relating to the Company’s acquisitions was comprised of $5.2 million from the supply chain product line, $3.2 million from service parts planning and optimization product line and $0.2 million from the master data management product line.

Subscription revenue increased by $5.2 million or 233.7% to $7.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $2.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. Internal growth accounted for $1.3 million, or 25.2%, of this increase. The Company’s data synchronization and secure communications

26




product line accounted for $0.6 million of the internal growth while the Company’s demand chain management product line made up the remaining portion of this internal growth. The supply chain product line made up over 98.9% of the subscription revenue generated through 2005 acquisitions.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue increased by approximately $12.1 million, or 126.4%, to $21.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $9.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. Cost of product license revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 437.1%, to $1.6 million. $0.7 million of this increase related to the amortization of acquired developed technology, and another $0.3 million related to software royalty expenses for the Company’s service parts planning and optimization product line. The remaining $0.3 million increase in cost of product in 2005 was due to a full years amortization of developed technology of the Company’s data synchronization and secure communications and research and health care product lines. In total, cost of product was comprised of $1.1 million of amortization of developed technology, and $0.5 million of royalty related expenses.

The cost of service revenues was $19.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, a $10.7 million or 116.1% increase. The 2005 acquisitions accounted for an increase in cost of sales of $11.1 million. The Company’s supply chain management product line made up $7.3 million, or 65.8%, of this $11.1 million increase, and service parts planning and optimization product line made up the remaining $3.2 million, or 28.8% of the $11.1 million increase. These acquisitions increased head count by approximately 61 full time equivalents to the services and support departments. The legacy product lines had a reduction in cost of service of $0.4 million in the year ended 2005. This decrease was a result of a decreased head count of approximately 10 full time equivalents. This reduced headcount resulted in a reduction in expenses of approximately $1.0 million. The decrease in salary and wages was offset by an increase in third party contractor costs of $0.6 million.

Gross margin was $37.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $20.9 million, or 129.2% from the year ended December 31, 2004. The gross margin percentage was 63.2% in the year ended December 31, 2005. The gross margin percentage in the year ended December 31, 2004 was 62.9%. The increase in gross margin percentage of 0.29% reflects consistent utilization percentages throughout the Company’s service organization.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing.   Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $3.8 million, or 110.4%, to $7.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 from $3.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. The legacy product lines accounted for $1.1 million of this increase. There was an increase in headcount of the legacy product lines of seven. Of the seven, the Company added four new sales and three new marketing employees. The addition to head count contributed approximately $0.5 million while another $0.2 million increase related to increased commissions. The remaining $0.4 increase related to corporate wide marketing programs and events. There was an increase in sales and marketing expenses of $2.7 million attributable to 2005 acquisitions. Costs related to the acquisitions of the supply chain management and service parts planning and optimization product lines made up 95.9%, or $2.6 million, of the increase related to 2005 acquisitions. $2.0 million of the costs related to 2005 acquisitions related to salaries, benefits and commissions, while the remaining $0.6 related to customer programs and events. The Company added nine sales and marketing employees through its 2005 acquisitions.

Research and Development.   Research and development expenses increased by approximately $4.1 million, or 141.2%, to $7.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $2.9 million in the prior year. The 2005 acquisitions increased research and development costs by $3.6 million. The increase due to acquisitions was primarily made up of the supply chain management product line, which

27




added costs of $1.9 million, and the service parts planning and optimization product line which added $1.6 million to the increased costs due to acquisitions. Acquisitions added 40 people to the Company’s research and development headcount. Acquired research and development costs are roughly 85.0% compensation costs and 15.0% third party contractor costs. The Company’s legacy headcount grew by two employees and total cost increased by $0.5 million. Third party contractors made up 80.0% or $0.4 million of the Company’s increase in legacy product line research and development costs.

General and Administrative.   General and administrative expenses increased by 28.4% or $1.3 million to $5.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in the Company’s general and administrative costs attributable to 2005 acquisitions was $0.5 million, or 37.8%. The costs attributable to 2005 acquisitions are primarily transition costs as most general and administrative activities are transferred to the Company corporate headquarters as soon as possible following an acquisition. The increase in general and administrative costs related to the legacy Company’s operations was $0.8 million and represented 62.2% of the total increase. Costs involving compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act accounted for $0.6 million of the $0.8 million increase. The remaining $0.2 million increase was due to increased executive compensation.

Amortization of intangible assets.   In the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded $2.8 million of amortization expense, an increase of 483.4% or $2.3 million. $2.2 million of the increase related to 2005 acquisitions, while the remaining $0.1 million increase related to a full years amortization of the Company’s 2004 acquisitions (see details at Footnote 3 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report).

Amortization of stock-based compensation.   Prior to its initial public offering, the Company granted certain stock options at exercise prices less than their deemed fair value; accordingly, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $4.6 million. Such deferred compensation was amortized over the vesting periods of the applicable options, resulting in gross expense of $21,000, during the year ended December 31, 2004. There was no amortization of stock-based compensation in 2005 as all such options were fully amortized in 2004.

Restructuring and other charges.   In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company determined that $121,000 of restructuring accruals were no longer needed as all employee severance had been paid out and no further obligations existed. Accordingly, the Company reversed this accrual. There were no similar charges in 2005.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2004 to the year ended December 31, 2003

Revenue

Total revenue increased $7.5 million, or 41.5%, to $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Product license revenue consists of revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses and from software elements of agreements accounted for under the percentage-of-completion basis. Product license revenue increased $2.1 million or 101.5%. The acquisitions of Webridge, Inc. (“Webridge”) and bTrade, Inc. (“bTrade”) accounted for approximately $1.7 million of the increase in product license revenue. Webridge was acquired by the Company on April 21, 2004 and bTrade was acquired by the Company on July 1, 2004. The results of operations from Webridge and bTrade are included in the results of operations for the Company from their respective dates of acquisition. On March 24, 2003, the Company acquired Allegis, Inc. (“Allegis”). Allegis’s results are included in the Company’s results of operations beginning from the date of its acquisition. Maintenance and hosting revenue increased $2.4 million, or 35.9%, to $9.1 million for 2004, from $6.7 million for 2003. Webridge and bTrade contributed equally to $1.9 million of the increase and the remaining $0.5 million increase resulting from Allegis’s operations being included for a full year in 2004. Consulting and implementation service revenue increased by $2.9 million to $10.2 million in 2004, or

28




39.3%, from $7.3 million for the prior year. Revenues generated from the Webridge acquisition accounted for 72.3% of this increase. The remaining increase primarily resulted from consulting and implementation services generated by bTrade. The Company recorded $2.2 million of subscription revenue during the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million or 7.0%, from $2.1 million in the previous year.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue increased by approximately $0.2 million or 2.6%, to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Cost of product license revenue decreased by $34,000, or 10.0%, to $307,000 due to lower royalty fees for licensed third party software that is embedded in the Company’s products or incorporated in the Company’s product offerings. This decrease was offset by an increase in the amortization of intangibles related to developed technologies. The developed technologies arose from the acquisitions of Webridge and bTrade. The associated amortization of these intangible assets was $0.2 million in 2004. The cost of service revenues increased by $0.9 million, or 10.2%, to $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in cost of service is directly related to a 12.2% increase in headcount. For the year ended December 31, 2003, a $0.6 million charge for the impairment of third party software licenses was recorded in cost of revenues. There was no impairment of third party licenses in 2004. Gross profit margins increased to 62.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to 48.9% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The gross margin increase is due to the increase of product license revenue as a percentage of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2004, product license revenue increased to 16.3% of total revenue, as compared to 11.5% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, services margins improved to 57% in 2004 from 48% in 2003, due to improved utilization of service personnel.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing.   Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 1.6%, to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in sales and marketing was primarily attributable to an increase in employee compensation expense partially offset by lower discretionary marketing spending.

Research and Development.   Research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 20.8%, to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $2.4 million for the prior year. The acquisitions of Webridge Inc. and bTrade, Inc. added $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to the overall increase. Combined, Webridge, Inc. and bTrade, Inc. added 18 employees to the research and development department. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in the Company’s legacy research and development costs. All software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

General and Administrative.   General and administrative expenses remained constant at $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.The consistency can be attributable to lower lease related expenses in 2004 of approximately $0.4 million, and a reversal of an accrual for a liability that the Company was no longer responsible for of $0.5 million. These decreases were offset by an accrual established to estimate a potential foreign tax liability of $0.7 million and an increase in audit and audit related expenses of approximately $0.1 million. In 2003, the Company’s legal expenses related to its consideration of and response to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. These expenses were offset in 2004 by non-recurring legal expense related to acquisitions that the Company investigated but did not complete made by the Company.

Amortization of intangible assets.   The Company recorded in year ended December 31, 2004, $477,000 in amortization expense related to customer relationships, trade names and order backlog intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of Allegis, Webridge and bTrade. In the year ended, December 31, 2003, the Company recorded $107,000 in amortization of customer relationship intangible assets that were recorded as part of the Allegis acquisition.

Amortization of stock-based compensation.   Prior to its initial public offering, the Company granted certain stock options at exercise prices less than their deemed fair value; accordingly, the Company

29




recorded deferred compensation of $4.6 million. Such deferred compensation was amortized over the vesting periods of the applicable options, resulting in gross expense of $21,000, and $58,000 during the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Restructuring and other charges.   In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company determined that $121,000 of restructuring accruals were no longer needed as all employee severance had been paid out and no further obligations existed. Accordingly, the Company has reversed this accrual.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company continued to execute its restructuring plan following the Allegis acquisition. As part of this plan, certain redundant costs were eliminated and a restructuring charge of $2.3 million was recorded. The restructuring charge primarily related to $2.1 million of excess lease costs in two locations and severance and other benefit costs of $0.2 million for the termination of 15 employees as part of the restructuring plan. In the third quarter of 2003, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord for its vacant office space in Chicago that resulted from its consolidation efforts in the second quarter. This agreement resulted in the cancellation of the Company’s original lease obligation in exchange for a $900,000 cash payment. As of June 30, 2003, the total cost of this lease was estimated at $1,865,000 and was included in the restructuring accrual recorded during the second quarter. Accordingly, the Company reversed $965,000 of the restructuring accrual in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as a result of the lease settlement.

The Company also recorded a $1.0 million asset impairment charge during the second quarter of 2003. This charge related to leasehold improvements associated with the excess office leases and a redundant computer system and excess equipment totaling $1.0 million. The Company also recorded a recovery of $18,000 during the third quarter of 2003 related to the sale of impaired assets that had been previously written off the Company’s books.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2005, the Company had $17.5 million of cash and equivalents, consisting primarily of cash provided by operations and cash acquired in its 2005 acquisitions. The cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $0.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $0.6 million of cash provided by operating activities during 2005 consists primarily of cash generated from net income of $19.5 million and non-cash expenses related to depreciation, amortization, provision for doubtful accounts and loss on disposal of assets totaling $5.7. This amount was partially offset by the non-cash provision for income tax benefit in the amount of $5.4 million. This net source of cash of $19.8 million was partially offset by a net use of cash of $19.2 million resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of the effect of acquisitions.

The cash use of $19.2 million resulted from increases in receivables $10.0 million (net of receivables acquired of $8.0 million), an decrease in accrued compensation of $2.8 million (net of accrued compensation acquired of $4.6 million), a decrease of accrued expenses, and other current liabilities of $3.9 million (net of accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $9.0 million), a decrease in accounts payable of $2.2 million (net of accounts payable acquired of $2.9 million) and an increase in other current assets of $0.4 million (net other current assets acquired of $1.4 million).

The use of cash resulting from the increase of accounts receivable of $10.0 million was a result of billings in December 2005, which were not collected in 2005. These billings related to license and service agreements for which revenue was recognized but cash was not collected. The use of cash of $2.8 million for accrued compensation was a result of payments on severance agreement relating to the Company’s 2005 acquisitions. These payments total approximately $3.2 million. The use of cash related to accrued compensation was partially offset by an increase in the Company’s 2005 accrued bonus of $0.4 million. The use of cash of $2.2 million, relating to the decrease in accounts payable, resulted from the pay-down of the payables acquired in the Company’s 2005 acquisitions. The Company paid approximately $2.7 million of

30




the $2.9 million acquired through its 2005 acquisitions. The use of cash of $3.9 million, resulting from the net decrease in accrued liabilities resulted predominately from payments made on rent accruals. The Company made approximately $2.9 million in payments related to accrued rents in 2005. The use of cash of $0.4 million related to the increase in other current assets predominately related to payments for prepaid royalties. The Company paid approximately $0.7 million for prepaid royalty licenses; these prepaid royalties will be amortized in 2006.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, consisting primarily of $6.5 million of cash obtained in the Company’s 2005 acquisition, net of cash used in the acquisitions in the amount of $0.5 million. Cash used was for purchases of equipment, purchases of investments and other items was $1.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used investing activities was $2.1 million, which consists primarily of cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $1.8 million, and purchases of equipment of $0.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2003, net cash provided by investing activities was $10.4 million, which consisted primarily of the redemption of $10.4 million of short-term investments to fund the Special Dividend.

Net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1.8 million reflecting the payment of long-term and short-term debt of $5.7 million and the repurchase of 181,024 shares of common stock from Commerce 5, Inc for $2.8 million, offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $6.4 million and exercise of stock option of $0.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended, December 31, 2004 was $64,000, reflecting proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset partially by payments under capital lease obligations. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $20.4 million, reflecting the payment of the $20.3 million Special Dividend on June 4, 2003.

(1)   The Company has sub-lease commitments of $610 pertaining to these lease obligations.

Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Elance, Inc., in exchange for $3.5 million in cash and 420,123 shares of its common stock. See “Recent Developments”

As a result of larger than anticipated restructuring and asset impairment charges in the second quarter of 2003 and the payment of the June 4, 2003 Special Dividend, the Company fell below the $10 million minimum shareholders’ equity requirement to maintain listing on the Nasdaq National Market (“NNM”). As a result, Nasdaq formally notified the Company in the third quarter of 2003 that unless the Company could demonstrate compliance with the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement, the Company’s shares would either be delisted, or, upon request of the Company, transferred to the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. In October of 2003, the Company presented a plan to achieve compliance with NNM requirements through the achievement of profitability in the second half of 2003 and the exercise of stock options by the Company’s CEO. Based upon the successful implementation of this compliance plan, the Company was released from all delisting actions and allowed to remain in good standing with the NNM. The Company is currently in compliance with all listing requirements for the NNM.

In May 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of its common stock in the open market. These shares could be purchased pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act from time to time in the public market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any repurchase was at the discretion of the Company’s management. Through December 31, 2002, the Company had repurchased 29,064 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $4.03 per share and at an aggregate cost of $117,239. No shares were repurchased during 2003 and 2004.

On October 19, 2005, the Company repurchased 181,024 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $15.50 per share or $2,805,872 in the aggregate, pursuant to Share Repurchase Agreements dated October 18, 2005, with Commerce 5, Inc. (formally known as ChannelWave, Inc.) and a former executive officer of Commerce 5.

All of the repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005.

The Company may use cash resources to fund investments in complementary businesses or technologies or for other purposes as determined by the Company. The Company believes its existing cash balances and cash generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, including cash needs of the acquired businesses, for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, the Company may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required, the Company may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all. Additional equity may be issued in connection with potential acquisitions in addition to the transaction noted in the Recent Developments section below.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which will be effective for public entities as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The new standard requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment be recognized in financial statements at fair value. As such, reporting employee stock options under the intrinsic value-based method prescribed by APB 25 will no longer be allowed. The Company has historically elected to use the intrinsic value method and has not recognized expense for employee stock options granted unless the options were issued with intrinsic value. SFAS No. 123(R) must be adopted, and the associated expenses must be reflected in all financial statements filings after December 31, 2005. The Company expects it will incur approximately $0.5 million (pre tax) in non-cash stock based compensation charges in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in 2006.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The Company does not believe that adopting of SFAS No. 153 will have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as that term is used in FASB No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” It also clarifies when an entity has sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Company is not required to begin applying the provisions of FIN 47 until fiscal year 2006. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the pronouncement’s requirements on its financial statements.

32




In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements—An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.” SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.

Recent Developments

On February 8, 2006, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Elance, Inc., (“Elance”) pursuant to which the Company purchased the assets of the Seller’s on-demand e-commerce solutions for services business (the “enterprise software business”). The assets acquired by the Company in the transaction include software, trademarks, customer contracts and lists, product processes, other intangible assets, cash, receivables and other operating assets, and the Subsidiary assumed Elance’s obligations under certain contracts related to the enterprise software business. The Company also acquired all of the stock of Elance’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and India engaged in such business. The total consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $15,250,000, comprised of $3,500,000 in cash and 420,123 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $27.97 per share (of which 75,980 shares of the Company’s common stock are being held by an escrow agent to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Elance under the agreement). The shares of the Company’s common stock are expected to be registered for resale on a Registration Statement on Form S-1.

Item 7A.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following discusses the Company’s exposure to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors including those set forth in Part I, “Risk Factors” of this report.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

To date, virtually all of the Company’s recognized revenues have been denominated in U.S. dollars and primarily from customers in the United States. Thus, the exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes has been immaterial. The Company expects, however, that future product license and professional services revenues may also be derived from international markets and may be denominated in the currency of the applicable market. As a result, operating results may become subject to significant fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates of certain currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, to the extent the Company engages in international sales denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make the Company’s products less competitive in international markets. Although the Company will continue to monitor its exposure to currency fluctuations, and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, there is no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect financial results in the future.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.5 million and short term and long term debt of $0.8 million and $6.5 million respectively. Based upon the balance of cash and cash

33




equivalents and short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2005, a change in interest rates of 0.5% would cause a corresponding change in annual interest income of approximately $87,500 and in interest expense of approximately $36,500.

Item 8.        Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See Index to Financial Statements on page F-1.

Item 9.        Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

KPMG LLP (KPMG) previously served as the principal accountants for Click Commerce, Inc. (the Company). In early 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommended, and the Board authorized, the Company’s senior management to solicit proposals from various accounting firms to provide audit and related services for the 2005 fiscal year. The decision resulted from the Audit Committee’s concerns about the increasing cost of such services. On March 31, 2005, KPMG responded to the request for proposal by indicating that it declined to stand for reelection, and instead, resigned as the Company’s principal accountants. The Audit Committee and the Company’s senior management interviewed suitable replacements, and the Audit Committee selected BDO Seidam LLP as the Company’s new auditors beginning with the review of the Company’s first quarter 2005 financial results.

In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, except as follows:

In the third quarter of 2004 there was a disagreement regarding the accounting for software license upgrade rights that were included in certain of the Company’s contracts with its customers. Had the contracts that contained these upgrade rights not been accounted for on a subscription basis, KPMG’s auditors’ report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would have been modified. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors discussed the subject matter of this disagreement with KPMG.

As disclosed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004, the Company, in conjunction with KPMG, determined it had a material weakness in its internal controls. In connection with performing a review of the Company’s interim financial information, KPMG issued a letter to the Company to communicate the control deficiencies that were considered to be a material weakness. KPMG indicated, and the Company agreed, that the Company’s quarter-end reporting schedule was too compressed, allowing insufficient time for the Company to perform adequate reviews of its accounting records and prepare appropriate support for the accounting positions taken by the Company, and for its independent registered public accounting firm to complete its review of the Company’s financial statements, prior to the Company’s release of its financial results. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors discussed the control deficiencies that were considered to be a material weakness with KPMG. Consequently, the Company determined that, for future periods, it would release its quarterly financial results to the public on a date closer to the due date for the filing of its Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, thereby increasing the time available for its internal review of accounting issues and for its independent public accountants’ review of the Company’s financial statements. The Company implemented this change in internal controls during the fourth quarter of 2004 and this material weakness was not repeated in connection with the Company’s annual reporting on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The audit reports of KPMG on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004,

34




did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Item 9A.     Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.   As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of the end of the period covered by this report. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of our Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, forms and regulation. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.   Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on its evaluation under the framework of Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2005. Our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 was audited by BDO Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which is included herein.

Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.   During our most recent fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting

To the Board of Directors
Click Commerce, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, that Click Commerce, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Click Commerce, Inc’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Click Commerce, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Click Commerce, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

36




We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Click Commerce, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended of Click Commerce, Inc. and our report dated March 30, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
Click Commerce, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Click Commerce, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  We have also audited the schedule listed in Item 15(a) 2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financials statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financials statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Click Commerce, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the 2005 schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Click Commerce Inc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 30, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

CLICK COMMERCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Description of Business

Click Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”) provides on-demand supply and demand chain management software and consulting, hosting and related services that enable users through out the world to collaborate, in real time, with business partners across an extended enterprise. Our solutions are designed to help support the unique business processes of a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, aerospace defense, and high-tech. The Company believes its products and services help its customers coordinate and optimize their business processes, lower their costs and improve their customer service. The Company’s customers are primarily based or operating in the United States.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful accounts

The Company monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that are identified.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Fixed assets acquired through the Company’s acquisitions are valued at their fair values at the date of the respective acquisition. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the assets’ useful life or the remaining lease term. Leased equipment meeting certain criteria is capitalized, and the present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a liability. Equipment held under capital leases is amortized on a straight-line basis. Amounts expended for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Long-lived Assets

The carrying values of purchased customer relationships, developed technology and other intangible assets, and other long lived assets, are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstance, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. In assessing impairment, the Company determines whether the undiscounted future operating cash flows to be derived from the related asset over the remaining life will be sufficient to recover the carrying value. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the discounted cash flows related to the asset.

Long-term Investments

The Company has invested in a long-term investment fund. Under terms of the investment, the Company has a total commitment of $2.0 million of which $1.4 million has been contributed to date for a pro rata ownership interest of less than 2%. These investments are stated at book value and are recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development acquired by the Company in a purchase combination. Beginning in 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, that suspended amortization of goodwill in favor of an annual impairment evaluation by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value including the goodwill. If it is determined that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized. During the fourth quarter of 2005,  and 2004, the Company performed its annual impairment review for goodwill and concluded that there was no impairment.

Intangible Assets

Intangibles assets include identifiable purchased assets including customer relationships, developed technology, trade names, order backlogs and in-process research and development. In allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired in a purchase business combination, the Company allocates a portion of the purchase price equal to the fair value at the acquisition date of each of the identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets are amortized, on a straight line basis, over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from one to seven years, except for purchased in-process research and development which is charged immediately to amortization of intangible assets on the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Amortization of developed technology is recorded in the Cost of product line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss); the amortization expense for all other intangibles is recorded in Amortization of intangibles in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite lives.

The Company continuously monitors factors that could potentially trigger an impairment of its intangible assets. At December 31, 2005, and 2004, the Company determined that there was no evidence of any triggering factors that could potentially impair the carrying value of its intangible assets.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt approximates fair value due to variable interest rate.

Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from four primary sources: (i) licensing software, (ii) providing technical support and product updates, otherwise known as maintenance (iii) application hosting, and (iv) providing professional services, including implementation and training services. The Company’s software is generally sold through a perpetual license or a limited term license (a subscription). The Company licenses its software in multiple-element arrangements in which the customer typically purchases a combination of: (i) software products, (ii) a maintenance arrangement, which is generally priced as a percentage of the software license fees and provides for technical support and bug fixes over a period of one year, (iii) hosting services, and/or (iv) a professional services arrangement on a time and materials basis.

The Company recognizes revenue using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Position No. 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements.” Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple-element arrangement when company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one of the delivered elements in the arrangement. The Company allocates revenue to each element in a multiple element arrangement based on its respective fair value, with the fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. The Company defers revenue for the fair value of its undelivered elements (e.g., professional services and maintenance) and recognizes revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the delivered elements (i.e., software product) when the criteria in SOP 97-2 have been met. If evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements of the arrangement does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until evidence of fair value does exist, or until all elements of the arrangement are delivered.

License revenue from contracts in which the Company’s services are not considered essential to the functionality of the software are recognized upon delivery, assuming the above criteria for revenue recognition are met under SOP 97-2. Services are not considered essential if the software is ready to use by the customer upon receipt and, therefore, implementation services do not involve significant customization, modification or development of the underlying software code.

Revenue from contracts in which the Company’s services are essential to the functionality of the other elements of the contract is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method under contract accounting as services are performed or output milestones are reached, as the Company delivers, customizes and installs the software. The percentage completed is measured either by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date in relation to estimated total labor hours of the agreement or in consideration of achievement of certain output milestones, depending on the specific nature of each contract. When output milestones are used, those milestones are typically determined from the structure of the contract in three milestones: delivery of the software, completion of the initial implementation and acceptance of the project by the customer.

F-11




CLICK COMMERCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Revenue from contracts recognized under the percentage-of-completion method based on milestones is recognized as product license revenue to the extent that the underlying milestones are related to software deliveries. In contracts with revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method based on labor hour inputs, revenues are recognized as product license revenue to the extent that the underlying contracts are for software licenses based on equal application of discounts across all elements of the larger arrangement. For arrangements in which percentage-of-completion accounting is used, the Company records cash receipts from customers and billed amounts due from customers in excess of recognized revenue as billings in excess of revenues earned on contracts in progress. The timing and amount of cash receipts from customers can vary significantly depending on specific contract terms and can, therefore, have a significant impact on the amount of billings in excess of revenues earned on contracts in progress at the end of any given period.

The Company provides hosting services to customers that have licensed the Company’s software under a limited-term software license. Software subscriptions have been accounted for under revenue recognition principles in accordance with the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” The fees related to multiple-element arrangements are allocated to the individual elements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” based upon verifiable, objective evidence of the fair values of each accounting unit. The Company’s subscription arrangements with customers generally cover several elements, including (1) a limited-term software license (a subscription), (2) strategic consulting services, (3) set-up and software subscription services, and (4) hosting services. The Company requires customers in these arrangements to use its hosting facilities, which in accordance with EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware,” results in all arrangement revenue being deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. If the arrangement includes consulting services, these services are presented as consulting and implementation service revenue and are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, which is normally 12-24 months. Under SAB No. 104 “Revenue Recognition,” costs associated with set-up and implementation of the subscriptions may be expensed as incurred or deferred and recognized over the term of the related arrangement. The Company has elected to defer such costs. The software subscription service typically begins upon customer acceptance. Limited term licenses are required to be hosted through the Company’s hosting services.

The Company also provides hosting services to customers that have licensed the Company’s software on a perpetual basis. In such cases and in accordance with EITF 00-3, the hosting revenue is considered a separate contractual element of the arrangement and is recognized according to SOP 97-2. Fair value of the hosting services is typically based on the stated renewal rate of the hosting services, which is deemed substantive by management.

The Company determines the fair value of the maintenance portion of the arrangement based on the stated renewal rate for additional maintenance terms based on renewal rates charged separately to other companies. The Company’s customers typically prepay maintenance for the first year in connection with new software licenses and the related revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the initial maintenance contract. Maintenance is renewable by the customer on an annual basis thereafter. Rates for maintenance, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement and are deemed to be substantive by management.

F-12




CLICK COMMERCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Professional services revenue primarily consists of implementation services related to the installation of the Company’s software products and training revenues. The fair value of the professional services portion of the arrangement is based on the daily rates the Company charges for these services when sold independently from a software license. Substantially all of the Company’s professional services arrangements are on a time and materials basis and, accordingly, are recognized as the services are performed.

In accordance with EITF No. 01-14, the Company classifies the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses from its customers as revenue, in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Software Costs

Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development, including coding and testing activities necessary to establish technological feasibility of computer software products to be licensed or otherwise marketed, are classified as research and development costs, and are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility has been determined, costs incurred in continuing the software development, including coding, testing, and product quality assurance, are capitalized. To date, the period between technological feasibility and general availability has been short and costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date.

Costs associated with software developed or acquired for internal use are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the software.

Income (Loss) per Share

The Company calculates basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Anti-dilutive stock options that were excluded from the net income (loss) per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled 60,014 and 87,389 respectively. All outstanding stock options were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2003, due the Company having a net loss for the period.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Financial Instruments

The reported amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and short-term notes payable, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. The Company continues to apply the provisions of APB 25 and provides the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” As such, compensation expense would be recorded only if the fair value of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price of the option on the grant date.

The Company has applied APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options issued under the Amended and Restated Click Commerce Stock Option and Stock Award Plan and the Amended and Restated Directors’ Stock Option and Stock Award Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized on stock options for which the exercise price equaled the fair value at the date of grant. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the method required by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for 2005, 2004 and 2003 would approximate the pro forma amounts below:

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share—Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)).” SFAS No. 123(R) will require companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in their consolidated financial statements. Beginning in January 2006, the Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) under the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company is required to restate prior period financial results to include the impact of share-based compensation expense. In 2006, the Company expects it will incur approximately $0.5 million (before the effect of income taxes) in non-cash stock-based compensation charges in connection with its adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Prior to its IPO, the Company granted certain stock options at exercise prices less than their deemed fair value; accordingly, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $4,636,000. Such deferred compensation was amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each individual award, resulting in $21,000 and $58,000 of stock-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The following table contains the amortization expense attributable to each noted expense caption, as applicable on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates assets and liabilities of non-U.S. functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of each period. Revenues and expenses are translated using average rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are included in shareholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Currency transaction gains or losses created by monetary assets and liabilities stated in currency other than the functional currencies are recognized in current operations and have not been significant to the Company’s operating results.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred. The Company incurred no advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

3.   Acquisitions

Effective March 24, 2003, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the capital stock of Allegis Corporation (“Allegis”), a privately-held California corporation engaged in licensing partner relationship management software and providing professional implementation services, hosting, and maintenance services related to its software. Results of Allegis’ operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since March 24, 2003. Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Allegis became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the holders of Allegis’ preferred stock received cash consideration in an aggregate amount of approximately $10,200. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash on hand. The product line acquired in this transaction is considered to be the Company’s partner relationship manager product line and is considered to be a part of the Company’s legacy product lines for 2005 reporting purposes.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the effective date of the Allegis acquisition. In addition to the $10,200 purchase price, the Company incurred $135,000 of direct expenses related to closing the Allegis acquisition. The opening balances reflecting all purchase price adjustments are presented below.

7.   Restructuring

In 2005, the Company made the final lease payments, totaling $79,000, related to the remaining lease commitments on excess office space. Accordingly, there is no reserve for restructuring as of December 31, 2005.

During 2004, the Company determined that $121,000 of restructuring accruals were no longer needed as all employee severance had been paid out and no further obligations existed. Therefore, the Company reversed this accrual. As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s restructuring accrual related to remaining lease commitments on excess office space.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company continued to execute its restructuring plan following the Allegis acquisition. As part of this plan, certain redundant costs were eliminated. These actions resulted in the termination of 15 employees primarily in the professional services, support and research and development departments. All of these employees were terminated in the second quarter of 2003. The Company also consolidated office space and included an additional restructuring charge for the remaining lease payments on the Company’s excess office space located in Chicago and Boston. The restructuring costs of $2,378,000 recorded during the first six months of 2003 are detailed below. In the third quarter of 2003, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord for its vacant office space in Chicago that resulted from its consolidation efforts in the second quarter. This agreement resulted in the cancellation of the Company’s original lease obligation in exchange for a $900,000 cash payment. As of June 30, 2003, the total cost of this lease was estimated at $1,865,000 and was included in the restructuring charge and accrual recorded during the second quarter of 2003. Accordingly, the Company reversed $965,000 of the restructuring accrual in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as a result of the lease settlement. This reversal amount was netted against restructuring and other charges in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003.

8.   Impairment of Assets

In 2003, in conjunction with its reviews of redundant cost structures, the Company wrote-off certain third party licenses related to products that had no projected sales and no plans for further development. A charge of $582,000 was recorded as “Impairment of third party licenses” in cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the same year, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $1,005,000 included in Restructuring and other charges. This charge related to leasehold improvements associated with excess office space, a redundant computer system and excess equipment and was recorded in restructuring and other charges in the statement of operations. The Company also recorded a recovery of $18,000 related to previously impaired assets. This recovery was netted against restructuring and other charges in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2003.

9.   Lease Commitments

The Company is obligated as lessee under certain noncancelable operating leases for equipment, cars and office space, and is also obligated to pay insurance, maintenance and other executory costs associated with the leases. Rent expense, net of sublease rental income, was $1.5 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Future minimum payments under

At December 31, 2005, the Company estimates that it had for U.S. federal income tax purposes gross net operating losses of approximately $239.8 million, which begin to expire in 2014 to the extent not limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, research and experimentation credits of approximately $7.3 million and minimum tax credits of approximately $390,000. The Company’s ability to benefit from certain net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards associated with its acquisitions is limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, approximately $9.0 million of the $239.8 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, $1.1 million of the $7.3 million of research and experimentation credits and all of the minimum tax credits are available currently to offset taxable income that the Company may recognize in the future.

The Company’s fourth quarter and full year results include a reversal of a portion of its net deferred tax asset valuation allowance. A valuation allowance, originally established in 2001 and adjusted annually thereafter, was recorded as the Company had determined that the realization of those tax assets did not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria under accounting rules. In the fourth quarter of 2005, based on an evaluation of the Company’s most recent ten quarters of profitability and the expectation of continued net income, a $5.4 million tax benefit was recognized as the Company determined that it has met the more-likely-than-not criteria related to certain net deferred tax assets. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance in the amount of $103.1 million for certain other net deferred tax assets primarily associated with accumulated tax loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets from its acquisitions. The Company recorded a net increase in the valuation allowance of $94.4 million due to its acquisitions (net of

the reversal of the valuation allowance not related to the acquisitions) in 2005 and a reduction in the valuation allowance of $3.7 million in 2004, and an additional valuation allowance of $1.4 million in 2003. The Company’s tax valuation allowance was $103.1 million and $8.7 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

11.   Shareholders’ Equity

On May 1, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $2.50 per share of the Company’s common stock (“Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend was paid on June 4, 2003 to shareholders of record as of May 20, 2003. As of May 20, 2003, the Company had 8,136,643 shares of common stock outstanding, which resulted in a total Special Dividend payment of $20,342,000.

12.   Employee and Director Stock Option and Stock Award Plans

In October 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Click Commerce, Inc. Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (“the Employee Plan”), pursuant to which the Board may grant stock options and stock appreciation rights to officers and key employees. The Employee Plan originally authorized grants of options to purchase up to 899,502 shares of authorized common stock. On February 14, 2000, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Employee Plan, which increased the number of options available for grant to 986,168. Pursuant to the Employee Plan, which allows for an adjustment of the number of options available for grant upon changes in capitalization, the number of options authorized for grant was subsequently increased to 1,556,169 in contemplation of the Company’s IPO. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair value at the date of grant. All stock options have ten-year terms and generally vest over three to five years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2005, there were 229,065 shares reserved for future grants under the Employee Plan. Stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 include options to purchase up to 913,042 shares of common stock, which have been granted to individuals under option agreements from the Employee Plan.

The Company’s Directors’ Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options and stock awards to non-employee directors. The Directors’ Plan provides for the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of common stock. Beginning in 2003 and for each subsequent year, non-employee directors are automatically granted an option to purchase 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of each annual shareholders’ meeting. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair value at the date of grant. All stock options have ten-year terms and vest at the date of grant. Prior to 2004, non-employee directors of the Company also received an automatic grant each year of shares of the Company’s common stock equal in value to $25,000 based on the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. At December 31, 2005, there were 275,875 shares reserved for future issuance of common stock. Stock options outstanding and deferred shares of common stock at December 31, 2005 total 287,258. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company granted 84,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and 12,000 options were exercised. No stock grants were issued to directors in 2005, 2004 or 2003.

13.  Credit Facility

On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into a $10.0 million revolving line of credit agreement maturing on April 1, 2008. The borrowing under the line of credit carries an interest rate based on the LIBOR average rate with a weighted average interest rate of 5.4% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The unused portion is subject to a fee of 0.3%. At December 31, 2005, the Company borrowings under this revolving line of credit were $6.5 million and were classified as long-term debt. The proceeds were used to pay off the debt and certain liabilities assumed in the Optum and Xelus acquisitions. Of the remaining $3.6 million, up to $2.0 million may be used for the Company’s letters of credit. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has $0.6 million outstanding under various letters of credit. The line of credit contains terms that, among other provisions, require the Company to maintain certain minimum net worth and other

CLICK COMMERCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

17.   Commitments and Contingencies

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Under the Company’s standard software license agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless its licensees’ use of Company software from and against certain losses, damages and costs arising from claims alleging the licensees’ use of Company software infringes on the intellectual property rights of a third party. The indemnification is contingent upon (a) the customer providing the Company with prompt written notice of such claims; (b) the customer providing reasonable cooperation to the Company in the defense and settlement of such claim, at the Company’s expense; and (c) the Company having sole authority to defend or settle the claim. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay material amounts in connection with claims asserted under these provisions, and accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability relating to such provisions.

In 2004 the Company was notified by the tax authorities in the Netherlands that the Company had a potential tax liability. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company received a determination letter from the tax authorities in the Netherlands that asserted tax deficiencies and penalties and interest based on audits of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002 in the amount of EURO 2.3 million, or approximately $3.2 million. The asserted tax deficiencies relate to certain wage tax amounts, including amounts related to vested employee stock options, that the tax inspector believes should have been withheld by the Company on behalf of several employees. The Company believes that it has meritorious legal defenses to a significant portion of these deficiencies. The Company recorded an accrual of $650,000 in the year ended December 31, 2004 for its assessment of the most probable outcome of this matter. This reserve is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the December 31, 2004 and 2005 consolidated balance sheets and is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In 2004, the Company determined that an accrual in the amount of $481,000 related to potential exposures for support fees for third party embedded software was no longer needed as the Company had ceased using the third party software products in its software products. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2004, the Company reversed this accrual and recorded the reversal as income in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

18.    Subsequent Event

Effective February 8, 2006, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Click Procure, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Elance, Inc. (“Elance”) pursuant to which the Subsidiary purchased the assets of the Seller’s on-demand e-commerce solutions for services business (the “enterprise software business”). The assets acquired by the Subsidiary in the transaction include software, trademarks, customer contracts and lists, product processes, other intangible assets, cash, receivables and other operating assets, as well as its obligations under certain contracts related to the enterprise software business. The Subsidiary also acquired all of the stock of Elance’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and India engaged in such business. The total consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $15,250,000, comprised of $3,500,000 in cash and issued 420,123 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $27.97 per share to Elance (of which 75,980 shares of the Company’s common stock are being held by an escrow agent to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Elance under the agreement). The shares of the Company’s common stock are expected to be registered for resale on a Registration Statement on Form S-1.
