BACKGROUND Tarantella, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTLA) (the Company), emerged as a standalone entity in May of this year from its origins as the Tarantella Division of The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO). On May 4, 2001, SCO completed the sale of its Server Software and Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc., retaining the Tarantella Division. A new company, Caldera International, was formed which combined the assets acquired from SCO with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the sale, The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc. and its Nasdaq trading symbol to TTLA, reflecting the new corporate focus. NOTE: In order to simplify this business section, separations will be made between the current Tarantella company overview and the section regarding the prior SCO business. TARANTELLA, INC. INTRODUCTION Tarantella, Inc. is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that enables web-based access to enterprise applications. Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, Tarantella has development sites in the US and UK and sales representatives in the US, UK, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Japan, Netherlands and Italy. Tarantella products are sold both directly and through a worldwide channel of enterprise class distributors, value-added resellers, systems integrators and computer manufacturers. Tarantella's flagship product, Tarantella Enterprise 3 software, delivers secure web access to old or new applications, powers thin client deployments, enables remote access for mobile users and telecommuters, and provides a compelling alternative to traditional extranets and virtual private networks. Tarantella Enterprise 3 software gives the user a single point of access for multiple servers running on heterogeneous platforms and can be a powerful tool for continued business operation. Tarantella software aligns with Information Technology (IT) business goals, provides a significant return on existing IT assets and complements other software products, providing managed and secure web access to enterprise mainframe, Windows, web, AS/400, Java(TM) technology, Linux, and UNIX applications. 1 VISION AND MISSION: Managed, Secure Access for the Enterprise Tarantella's vision is to become the leading provider of managed, secure, web-based application access software for the Global 2000 companies. CORPORATE STRATEGY Tarantella's strategy is to focus on the application access needs of Global 2000 enterprises by making virtually any business application available to users securely through standard Internet and intranet architectures. Tarantella approaches this target market through the combination of a direct sales organization, channel partners and strategic alliances, seeking the broadest market acceptance for its products. IMPORTANCE OF WEB-BASED APPLICATION ACCESS Today's enterprises need secure and managed access to business critical systems for their employees, customers and partners -- from anywhere, any time. The number of mobile and remote workers continues to grow and more companies are merging, often requiring the quick need for diverse computer systems to work together. Workers are dispersed around the world, needing access to data that may be thousands of miles away. Real time is now synonymous with Internet time. The Internet has become ubiquitous and offers a cheap and reliable way for businesses to gain access to their data. This power, however, brings with it an urgent need for high level security and manageability. Recent terrorist events in the US have also shown how quickly the enterprise can be brought to a halt when the workplace is disrupted. Disaster recovery plans for the data center are not enough; alternative access modes for users whose offices are no longer available must also be provided. Valuable corporate information kept on desktops is at risk and companies are increasingly realizing that a centralized, managed approach can be more cost effective and secure. Today's global enterprises are decentralized organizations, needing remote and mobile access, flexible business continuance plans and ways to cut the high costs and risks of managing distributed desktop computers. Tarantella software compellingly addresses these needs. ADVANTAGES OF THE TARANTELLA ENTERPRISE 3 SOLUTION Tarantella Enterprise 3 web-based software leverages existing IT investment without the need for re-engineering. It offers a non-intrusive solution that can provide employees, customers and partners with managed, secure, local, remote, and mobile access to critical applications. Tarantella Enterprise 3 software simplifies administration and securely speeds access to Windows, web, Java(TM) technology, mainframe, AS/400, Linux and UNIX based systems and applications from client devices globally. Its proven centralized management architecture effortlessly scales to accommodate rapid corporate change, technological advancement and expanding remote access needs. Key software benefits are: - Centralizes IT management - simplifies complex environments and provides a single user access point - Manages people and their access to applications and data from a single place - Deploys new applications instantly with a simple drag-and-drop management interface - Reduces IT spending - protects investment and assets - Provides greater productivity, requires less training and reduces demands on IT resources - Requires no installation on clients or application servers 2 - Integrates new-era applications and systems with legacy, pre-web applications -- without re-engineering - Accommodates rapid organizational change - Enables alternative user access for business continuance - Gives unprecedented scalability that enables growth, with the flexibility to unify diverse IT environments - Has innovative architecture that allows remote users to achieve secure, dial-up connections at LAN-like performance - Adds new mobile and wireless devices easily for quick access to corporate systems - Extends the reach and life of legacy applications - Gives partners, suppliers and customers secure access to corporate systems over the web, without installing costly extranets or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). TARGET MARKETS Tarantella software is a horizontal network infrastructure solution, which may be used across all types and sizes of companies. Several target markets have, however, emerged in which the Tarantella value proposition is particularly compelling, including large financial institutions, government agencies (federal, local, defense departments), utilities, telecommunications, document publishing and large transportation enterprises. These enterprises generally employ heterogeneous information systems architectures, are often geographically dispersed with remote access requirements, and are under operational pressures to reduce costs and optimize return on assets. These organizations typically depend on UNIX servers as a key part of their IT. The larger the company, the more diverse the applications platforms and the more widely distributed the user base is, the better fit there is for a Tarantella solution. It is the scalability and flexibility of the Tarantella solution that differentiates it from competitors who simply cannot scale to meet the demanding heterogeneous architectures of the largest enterprises. PARTNERS Tarantella understands the need for strong industry partners to augment the Tarantella enterprise value proposition. Sun Microsystems, Inc., for example, has become one of Tarantella's strongest allies. Tarantella Enterprise 3 is SunTone(SM) certified and was a featured technology in Sun's strategic Sun ONE launch. Additionally Tarantella and Sun have signed an agreement to jointly market Tarantella software with Sun iPlanet(TM) portal products and Sun's Sun Ray(TM) appliance organization is a founding member of Tarantella's Technology Alliance Group (TAG). Lastly, Tarantella has signed distribution agreements with some of the largest Sun distributors in the world--GE Access in the USA, Clarity in the UK and ICOS in Italy. Tarantella has also partnered with IBM, becoming an Advanced IBM Business partner. IBM's thin client group was also a founder in our TAG program. Additionally, Computer Associates' iCan SP subsidiary has entered into a joint marketing agreement to offer Tarantella Enterprise 3 as part of its xSP solution set. Long standing SCO partner Compaq continues their relationship with Tarantella. These strategic relationships -- both new and ongoing -- provide Tarantella additional credibility and leverage in selling to the enterprise market. 3 CURRENT PRODUCTS The Company offers the flagship Tarantella software products as well as the established Vision 2K Suite, as described below: Tarantella Enterprise 3 The Tarantella Enterprise 3 solution instantly provides managed and secure access to enterprise mainframe, Windows, web, Java(TM) technology, UNIX, Linux and AS/400 applications. It leverages existing IT assets to provide cost savings, improved productivity and the flexibility to accommodate the rapid changes in today's organizations. Its proven centralized management effortlessly scales to accommodate rapid corporate change, technological advancement and expanding remote access needs. It can span global multi-site IT architectures, unifying and simplifying complexity and diversity in order to provide an enhanced level of business continuity through increased application and service availability. Tarantella Enterprise 3 Starter for Linux This application access software provides an easy entry point for smaller organizations wishing to extend the reach of applications and services over intranets and the Internet.

Its non-intrusive and flexible architecture applies the advanced, industry-proven Tarantella Enterprise 3 technology to smaller enterprise workgroups and departments, and sets the foundation for a low-maintenance, centralized IT strategy. Vision2K UNIX integration products Integrating the Windows and UNIX worlds, Tarantella's established Vision2K software suite extends the power and dependability of UNIX servers to the Windows desktop environment and provides character-based and GUI access to UNIX applications. The Vision2K Suite consists of: - VisionFS - server based file and print sharing - XVision Eclipse - fast access to X applications - TermVision - terminal emulation for Windows and the Internet - SuperVision - centralized management of users - TermLite - lightweight terminal emulator SALES AND DISTRIBUTION Tarantella's target customer set is the Global 2000 and government agencies worldwide. To reach those customers, the Company has developed a two pronged strategy utilizing both an extremely focused direct sales force and enterprise distribution channels which include value-added distributors and resellers, as well as systems integrators and independent software vendors (ISVs). Tarantella selects channel partners for their expertise, experience and access to the target market. In many cases, channel partners and Tarantella direct sales people work together on targeted accounts In addition to the enterprise sales motion, Tarantella fulfills to small-to-medium businesses through the PartnerConnect program, with registered and associate partners primarily managed by value-added distributors. CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICES Because of the business-critical use of Tarantella products, customer support and services have become essential to achieving a high level of customer satisfaction. The Company's services are designed to support 4 customers ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises, both at the end user and reseller levels. The Company, through its worldwide customer support and services staff and its authorized third-party education, support and channel partners, offers a variety of support programs and services: Technical Support - includes a range of support offerings including on-line support through the World Wide Web and varying levels of telephone support for corporate accounts; Educational Services - includes courseware and instruction guides provided to the worldwide Tarantella Learning Centers, which in turn provide training and education materials to both end users and resellers; Developer Services - includes technical advisory and support services as well as access to early product releases for application developers. The Company sells support services to end users on an annual contract basis. Options are available so that customers can tailor the support solution to meet their specific needs. Electronic access is available through the World Wide Web. Software updates, enhancements, and bug fixes are also available electronically. Tarantella also supports end users via Authorized Tarantella Service Providers. In addition, the Company provides its support services to distributors, VARs, OEMs and integrators. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Tarantella product development is comprised of one integrated organization with three sites located in Santa Cruz, California and Leeds and Cambridge, United Kingdom. The company has developed or acquired skills in complex Internet infrastructure areas including web-based technologies, communications, security, Java(TM) technology, virtual user interfaces, networking, and adaptive protocols. Furthermore, the heterogeneous nature of the product has led the group to develop strong links with application server vendors, including Microsoft, IBM, Sun and Oracle, and also to link with client vendors ranging from traditional desktop and complex workstation clients to wireless handheld devices from companies such as Nokia. The company holds one patent and has another one that is pending. Tarantella's patented, award-winning technology was designed from the beginning for the public Internet and enterprise intranets. The Tarantella Adaptive Internet Protocol (AIP) optimizes the tradeoffs between bandwidth and application performance to give users the best possible experience over any speed connection. In addition, Tarantella's innovative and non-invasive implementation requires no changes to applications or their servers. The Tarantella architecture is based on a three-layer approach, whereby the Tarantella server sits in between the application layer (server) and the client layer (user). There is no need to make changes to any applications or existing servers to `drop' Tarantella into the network and provide access to applications anywhere via existing client browsers. Tarantella devotes resources to ongoing product testing and quality assurance to support product reliability. The Company believes that its ability to integrate product technologies, to incorporate a wide variety of standards into its products, and to continue to offer enhancements to its existing products are essential to maintaining its competitiveness in the marketplace. COMPETITION Tarantella's Enterprise software solutions compete against a range of point products from companies including Citrix, Hummingbird, GraphOn, and Attachmate. Additionally, Tarantella products can be used in place of, or to augment, VPN or extranet products. 5 Citrix is the market leader in providing remote access to Windows applications; Hummingbird is the same for UNIX and Attachmate for mainframes. GraphOn, on the other hand, is largely focused on providing web-enabling tools for ISVs. Each of these point competitors is a formidable opponent in their own space. In contrast, Tarantella offers an integrated approach to all of these needs with manageability, scalability, and flexibility to meet enterprise requirements. Tarantella installs on all major UNIX and Linux platforms and delivers Windows, UNIX, Linux, Mainframe and web-based applications in a secure managed environment. It is the scalability and flexibility of our solutions in heterogeneous and demanding architectures that differentiate Tarantella from competitors. EMPLOYEES As of September 30, 2001, the Company had 207 employees, including 58 in product development, 81 in sales and marketing, 11 in customer support services, and 57 in finance, manufacturing and distribution services and administration. THE SCO BUSINESS INTRODUCTION The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) was founded in 1979 and began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange (Nasdaq: SCOC) in 1993. SCO was a global developer and provider of server software for networked business computing and had 20 years of experience developing UNIX system, open system, and open source software. SCO owned the intellectual property for UNIX system technology. Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, SCO had sales representatives in more than 80 countries and SCO products were sold and distributed worldwide by more than 15,000 resellers, distributors, systems integrators and computer manufacturers. COMPANY STRATEGY SCO's business strategy was threefold: 1) to provide the leading UNIX server software for high-volume Intel processor-based servers; 2) to web-enable existing and new applications with server-based software across multiple platforms (see Tarantella section); and 3) to provide technical expertise to companies via its Professional Services organization. TARGET MARKETS The Company targeted three major market segments: 1) primary information systems for small and medium-sized businesses, 2) replicated systems for use in distributed information systems in medium-sized and large organizations, including Fortune 1000 Corporations, and 3) business-critical enterprise servers for large and medium-sized businesses. Key targeted industries included retail and telecommunications. 6 PRODUCTS UnixWare 7 UnixWare 7 had been built from the ground up to support distributed network computing on cost-efficient, "enterprise-class" Intel processor-based servers. As an applications server, UnixWare 7 provided all of the facets of business critical computing, including built-in security, reliability, and fault tolerance on a standard, cost-effective, and high-performance Intel single- or multi-processor hardware platform. UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters provided totally dependable access to business-critical data and applications. UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters software linked individual "nodes" -- whole computers, each running its own copy of the operating system - such that they acted and appeared as a single system. SCO OpenServer The SCO OpenServer system was a leading UNIX server operating system for Intel processor-based platforms. SCO OpenServer systems were exceptional at running multi-user, transaction-based DBMS and business applications, communications gateways, mail and messaging servers in both host and client/server environments. SCO OpenServer Release 5 combined minicomputer-level reliability and availability with the Intel platform's exceptional price/performance, value and flexibility. Unlike other advanced operating systems, SCO OpenServer systems revolutionized business productivity without obsoleting existing business critical systems, applications or data. SCO OpenServer systems delivered extensive networking with existing LANs and WANs, easy integration with Windows desktops, built-in Internet access and services, simplified administration and management, and outstanding scalability for long term growth. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION SCO had developed a highly trained and diverse sales and distribution channel of over 15,000 resellers and distributors. SCO and its distribution network worked together to provide comprehensive support services ranging from engineering and consulting services to technical support and training and education. The SCO sales and distribution channels focused on three major customer groups. Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMB). SCO worked with VARs and authorized resellers, which develop and/or sell business solutions to small and medium-sized businesses. Corporate Customers. In the U.S., and for selected customers across Europe, SCO developed a major account team that built and managed the relationships with customers in targeted industries as well as with the Company's channel partners who supported these customers. Government Customers. SCO also had a dedicated account team that managed the relationships with government agencies in the U.S., while Government sales outside the U.S. were managed by SCO regional management or by OEMs, major distributors or major resellers. CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICES SCO's services were designed to support its wide range of customers, from small and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises, both at the end user and reseller levels. SCO, through its worldwide Professional Services, customer support and services staff and its authorized third-party education, support and channel partners, offered a variety of support and services: Technical Support Educational Services Consulting Services Developer Services Engineering Services 7 The Company sold support services to end users on an annual contract or as-needed basis. Options were available so those customers could tailor the support solution to meet their specific needs. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Since its inception, SCO focused considerable resources on the development and integration of UNIX systems and open systems software technologies and standards for Intel processor-based computers. In December of 1995, SCO purchased the UNIX Systems technologies from Novell Inc., which have since transferred to Caldera International as part of the May 2001 transaction. SCO devoted considerable resources to ongoing product testing and quality assurance. In addition, the Company offered localized versions of its core business critical servers in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. COMPETITION The market for operating systems is very competitive and rapidly changing. The Company encountered significant competition from a limited number of direct competitors including Microsoft, Novell, IBM and Sun Microsystems, which offer hardware-independent multi-user operating systems for Intel platforms, and from OEMs such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Olivetti and Sun Microsystems, which offer their own versions of the UNIX System on a variety of RISC and Intel CPU-based hardware. Competition from companies selling versions of the Linux operating system also increased.

12 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Tarantella is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that enables web-based access to enterprise applications. The Tarantella Enterprise 3 solution instantly provides managed and secure web access to enterprise mainframe, Windows, AS/400, Linux, and UNIX applications. It leverages existing IT assets to provide cost savings, improved productivity, and the flexibility to accommodate the rapid changes in today's organizations. This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a results of certain factors, including those set forth in Item 1, those described elsewhere in this report and those described in other reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET REVENUES The Company's net revenues are derived from software licenses and fees for services, which include engineering services, consulting, custom engineering, support and training. Net revenues were $66.7 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of 55% from $148.9 million in fiscal 2000. In fiscal 2000, net revenues decreased by 33% from $223.6 million in fiscal 1999. The decline in revenue performance in fiscal 2001 was worldwide across all geographies and is attributable to the sale of a significant portion of our business. The Company's revenues were also impacted by the general reduction in information technology ("IT") investments by companies for application server software and service initiatives. The fiscal 2000 decline in revenue performance was worldwide across most geographies and is attributable to delays in large project deals as well as customer delays due to Year 2000 issues and other market factors. The recovery of the customer channel from the impact of Year 2000 has been slower than expected. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues. International revenues continue to be a significant portion of net revenues, comprising 52% of the revenues for fiscal 2001 and 54% and 56% for 2000 and 1999, respectively. License Revenues. License revenues were $58.3 million in fiscal 2001 as compared to $133.5 million in fiscal 2000 and $208.5 million in fiscal 1999, representing a decrease of 56% in fiscal 2001 over 2000 and a decrease of 36% in fiscal 2000 over 1999. License revenues were 87% of total net revenues for fiscal 2001 and 90% and 93% of total net revenues for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The fiscal 2001 decline in license revenues is attributed to fewer large project deals and other market factors and the sale of the server business to Caldera. The fiscal 1999 to 2000 license revenue decrease was due to customer delays due to Year 2000 issues and a slower than expected recovery of the sales channel from the impact of Y2K. Services Revenues. Services revenues decreased to $8.4 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of 46% from the $15.4 million in fiscal 2000. Revenue from services remained relatively constant in fiscal 2000 at $15.4 13 million, a 2% increase over the $15.2 million level of fiscal 1999. Services revenues were 13% of the total revenue for fiscal 2001, compared to 10% in the prior year. The decline in services revenues was primarily in the professional services area and is the result of re-focusing of the professional services division on the implementation of new strategies in conjunction with the sale of the professional services business to Caldera. COST OF REVENUES The Company's overall cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues can be affected by mix changes in net revenue contribution between product families, geographic regions and channels of distribution, since both price and cost characteristics associated with these revenue streams can vary greatly. The Company can also experience fluctuations in gross margin as net revenues increase or decrease since certain costs of revenues including technology, services, product assembly and distribution act as fixed costs within certain volume ranges. Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues includes royalties paid to certain software vendors, amortization of acquired technologies, product packaging, documentation and all costs associated with the acquisition of components, assembling of finished products, warehousing and shipping. Cost of license revenues as a percentage of license revenues decreased to 14% in fiscal 2001 from 17% in fiscal 2000, and 15% in fiscal 1999. The 3% decrease from 2000 to 2001 was primarily due to the expiration of several technology obligations. Additionally, material costs continue to decline as a result of the increasing number of Internet orders. Also certain fixed costs such as technology and overhead declined. The 2% increase from 1999 to 2000 was due to the impact of having fixed costs over lower unit sale volume. These fixed costs include technology and overhead costs. This impact is partially offset by declining material costs resulting from the continuing growth of e-commerce business. Cost of Services Revenues. Cost of services revenues includes documentation, consulting and personnel related expenses associated with providing such services. Costs of services revenues as a percentage of services revenues decreased to 107% from 126% in fiscal 2000, which in turn was a decrease from 128% in fiscal 1999. The improvement in cost of services revenues in Fiscal 2001 is primarily a result of reduced staffing levels in both the support and professional services organizations due to realignments of these organizations. The decrease in fiscal 2000 resulted from relatively constant costs as a percentage of higher fiscal 2000 revenues. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company invests in research and development both for new products and to provide continuing enhancements to current products. Research and development expenses decreased 54% to $18.4 million in fiscal 2001 from $39.7 million in fiscal 2000, which was a decrease of 6% from fiscal 1999 spending of $42.4 million. Research and development expenses represented 28% of net revenues for fiscal 2001, 27% of net revenues for fiscal 2000, and 19% of net revenues for fiscal 1999. The decrease in research and development expenses in fiscal 2000 and 2001 can be attributed to lower labor costs driven by lower headcount as a result of a planned reduction in force. Fiscal 2001 spending was also favorably impacted by the sale of the Server Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera. SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses decreased 47% to $46.9 million in fiscal 2001, compared to $89.3 million for fiscal 2000 and $98.5 million for fiscal 1999. Sales and marketing expenses represented 70% of net revenues in fiscal 2001, 60% in fiscal 2000 and 44% in fiscal 1999. The decrease in fiscal 2001 is due to lower labor costs as a result of the sale of the Server and Professional Services division to Caldera combined with reductions driven by lower headcount as a result of a planned reduction in force. The 14 decrease in fiscal 2000 is due to a decline in sales program costs that vary directly with revenue, including commissions and cooperative advertising. The increase as a percentage of revenue in both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 is due to revenues declining faster than the company was able to reduce expenses. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses decreased 7% to $17.3 million in fiscal 2001, compared with $18.7 million in fiscal 2000 and $16.6 million in fiscal 1999. General and administrative represented 26% of net revenues in fiscal 2001, 13% in fiscal 2000 and 7% in fiscal 1999. The significant increase in general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue is due to fixed costs spread over much lower revenue as well as the payment of executive retention bonuses of $2.1 million associated with the sale of the majority of the business to Caldera. The transfer of certain staff from other functions due to the creation of the Company's divisions drove the increase in fiscal 2000. Allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of September 30, 2001 was $2.3 million, or 36% of gross accounts receivable. At the end of September 30, 2000, allowance for doubtful accounts was $3.2 million, or 12% of gross accounts receivable. The reason for the significant increase in allowance for doubtful accounts is because the Company retained all accounts receivable when they sold the server and professional services divisions to Caldera. All of the current allowance for doubtful accounts relates to sales of server products. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance of $2.3 million at September 30, 2001 includes a $0.7 million reserve for a customer that has declared bankruptcy. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES Restructuring charges of $1.0 million were incurred in fiscal year 2001 that related to worldwide restructurings undertaken in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001. The restructurings included a reduction in personnel of approximately 38 employees and elimination of non-essential facilities. As of September 30, 2001, all 38 positions have been eliminated, however there were cash payments of $304,000 remaining. Of the $1.0 million, the entire $1.0 million charge related to cash expenditures. These reductions were made to align spending with lower than expected company revenues. The Company intends to partially sublet space in the Santa Cruz, California office. This space will be vacated and restored and subsequently sublet. The Company anticipated that the sub-lease would be completed within three months, however as of September 30, 2001 the space remained vacant. Restructuring charges of $10.7 million were incurred in fiscal year 2000 that related to worldwide restructurings undertaken in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000, representing 7% of total net revenues for the fiscal year. The restructuring charges included a reduction in personnel of approximately 227 employees, write-off of certain acquired technologies, write-off of certain fixed assets, and elimination of non-essential facilities. Of the $10.7 million, $9.2 million related to cash expenditures and $1.5 million related to non-cash charges. The restructuring charge included cash expenditures of $7.3 million for severance costs and $1.9 million for facilities costs. The non-cash charges related to disposals of fixed assets and write-off of technology. The disposal of fixed assets was comprised of computer equipment that was no longer in use due to the reduction of personnel. Losses on the disposal of these fixed assets were recorded against the restructuring charge. The amount of these charges was $842,000. The technology write-off relates to technology that was no longer used in product development due to the reduction in development personnel. The Company restructured its business operations into three independent divisions, each with a separate management team and dedicated development, marketing and sales organizations - the Server Division, the Tarantella Division and the Professional Services Division. The Company believed this reorganization would create independent focused teams that could pursue revenue in their respective markets and was effective April 1, 2000. The Company believed that as a result of creating these independent, focused organizations the Company would be better able to control and measure the success of these businesses. As a result of the restructuring plans various regional offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region were eliminated. The US regional facilities and the Watford, UK leases were vacated and restored, and subsequently sub-let or terminated. The remaining 15 international offices were vacated immediately. Of the facilities closed, the majority related to the Server Division while a minor portion related to the Corporate Division which is comprised primarily of the finance and General and Administrative functions of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary. Reserves for any payments not made by the end of fiscal 2001 were released. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) Other income and expense consists of interest income net of interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, and realized gains and losses on investments, as well as other miscellaneous income and expense items. Net interest income decreased in fiscal 2001 to $1.1 million compared to $1.7 million for fiscal 2000 and $1.9 million for fiscal 1999. Other income was $0.3 million for fiscal 2001, $0.8 million for fiscal 2000 and $1.9 million for fiscal 1999. In January 2001, the Company sold 3,200,000 shares of its Rainmaker stock for $1.00 per share, and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. The cost basis of the sale was $1.1 million, and the Company realized a gain of $2.1 million from this sale. In fiscal 2000 the Company recorded a gain on the sale of shares of Rainmaker stock of $1.9 million, net of an other-than temporary decline in another investment position of $0.7 million. The decrease in other income from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000 was due to gains from the partial liquidation of converted debentures of a domestic distribution channel partner of $3.3 million, net of an other-than temporary decline in another investment position of $1.0 million which were included in the fiscal 1999 results but did not recur in fiscal 2000. In fiscal 2001 there was a $53.3 million gain included in other income for the sale of the server and professional services divisions to Caldera. There was also a charge taken for the impairment of the Caldera investment in the amount of $22.5 million, net of the unamortized portion of negative goodwill. The fiscal 2001 results also include $4.6 million for the loss from the equity investment in Caldera. This loss is net of $0.7 million of negative goodwill related to the excess of net assets in Caldera over the value of the investment at the time of closing. INCOME TAXES In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company's effective income tax rates were 16%, (17)% and 17%. The fiscal 2001 tax benefit of $1.1 million reflects a benefit of $1.6 million due to the resolution of foreign audit issues and foreign income taxes of $0.5 million. The fiscal 2000 tax primarily reflects the write off of deferred tax assets of $7.8 million and foreign income taxes of $0.5 million. The fiscal 1999 tax primarily reflects foreign income taxes. NET INCOME (LOSS) The Company reported a net loss of $5.7 million in fiscal 2001 compared to net loss of $57.0 million in fiscal 2000 and net income of $16.9 million in fiscal 1999. Although revenues were significantly lower in fiscal 2001, the net losses decreased by 90% due to the net gain recorded for the Caldera transaction. The net loss in fiscal 2000 is primarily due to lower revenues, restructuring charges and the reduction of net deferred tax assets. The net income in fiscal 1999 was driven by strong revenue performance, which was directly related to the increasing importance of server-based computing as well as customers upgrading in preparation for Year 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $14.1 million at September 30, 2001, representing 40% of total assets. The decrease in cash and short-term investments of $12.3 million 2001 is due to operating losses, lower revenues and a decrease in sales linearity, which resulted in lower cash collections. The Company's operating activities used cash of $34.2 million during fiscal 2001, compared to $41.6 million used for operating activities for fiscal 2000. Cash provided by investing activities was $25.0 million in fiscal 2001 compared to cash provided from investing of $19.5 million in fiscal 2000. The increase was 16 attributable primarily to the proceeds received from the Caldera transaction. Cash provided for financing activities was $0.7 million for fiscal 2001 compared with $9.9 million for fiscal 2000. The company's days sales outstanding (DSO) at the end of fiscal 2001 was 87, an increase of 21 days from the end of fiscal 2000. The increase in DSO at the end of fiscal 2001 was due to a deterioration of sales linearity during the fourth quarter as well as increased delinquent accounts receivable. It is expected that DSO for Tarantella will not fluctuate significantly from the 87 days at the end of fiscal 2001. DSO are expected to remain at higher levels than prior years because a larger portion of the products are now sold directly to the customer and this type of sale does not have the even linearity seen in sales through distribution. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had an equity investment in Rainmaker Systems having a fair market value of $0.1 million and a cost basis of $0.2 million. In January 2001, the Company sold 3,200,000 shares of its Rainmaker stock for $1.00 per share, and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. The cost basis of the sale was $1.1 million, and the Company realized a gain of $2.1 million from this sale. The Company has incurred net losses from operations of approximately $5.7 million during fiscal 2001 and $57.9 million during fiscal 2000 and revenues have declined from $148.9 million in fiscal 2000 to $66.7 million in fiscal 2001. For fiscal 2001 losses from operations were $34.4 million, compared to $51.2 million during fiscal 2000. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $99.0 million as of September 30, 2001. In connection with the transaction with Caldera, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement and a Secured Convertible Promissory Note effective January 8, 2001, with The Canopy Group for borrowings up to $18.0 million. Draws on the financing agreement are repayable on December 31, 2001 and bear interest at a rate per annum of 10%. Draws are collateralized by the Company's tangible and intangible assets and are convertible into common stock at the option of the lender at the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance, subject to certain limitations. The unconverted principal is repayable in cash. The Company has not drawn on this line of credit. The Company believes that, based on its current plans its existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, funds generated from operations and available borrowing capabilities will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements through fiscal 2002, however additional financing may be required thereafter. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Set forth below and elsewhere in this Report and in other documents the Company files with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statement in this Report. COMPANY'S OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE IN FUTURE PERIODS The results of operations for any quarter or fiscal year are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. The Company's operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly and annual fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to: - Overall technology spending - Changes in general economic conditions and specific market conditions in the Internet infrastructure industry - Rapid technological changes that can adversely affect the demand for the Company's products - Fluctuations in demand for the Company's products and services - The public's perception of Tarantella and its products - The long sales and implementation cycle for the Company's products 17 - General industry trends and the potential effects of price and product competition in the Internet infrastructure industry - The introduction and acceptance of new technologies and products - Reductions in sales to, or loss of, any significant customers - The timing of orders, timing of shipments, and the ability to satisfy all contractual obligations in customer contracts - The impact of acquired technologies and businesses - The Company's ability to control spending and achieve targeted cost reductions - The ability of the Company to generate cash adequate to continue operations - The potential loss of key employees - The Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel - Adverse changes in the value of equity investments in third parties held by the Company - The ability of the Company's customers and suppliers to obtain financing or to fund capital expenditures As a consequence, operating results for a particular future period are difficult to predict. THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED TO GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS Any significant downturn in the Companies customers' markets, or domestic and global conditions, which result in a decline in demand for their software and services could harm the business. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the subsequent military response by the United States and future events occurring in response to, or in connection with the attacks may negatively impact the economy in general. In particular, the negative impacts of these events may affect the software industry. This could result in customers delaying or canceling orders for software. Any of these occurrences could have a significant impact on the Companies operating results, revenues and costs and may cause the market price of their common stock to decline or become more volatile. The Company's future operating results may be affected by various uncertain trends and factors that are beyond the Company's control. These include adverse changes in general economic conditions and rapid or unexpected changes in the technologies affecting the Company's products. The process of developing new high technology products is complex and uncertain and requires accurate anticipation of customer needs and technological trends. THE COMPANY DEPENDS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW PRODUCTS IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING MARKET The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolution of new industry standards, and frequent introductions of new products and product enhancements. The Company's success will depend upon its continued ability to enhance its existing products, to introduce new products on a timely and cost-effective basis to meet evolving customer requirements, to achieve market acceptance for new product offerings, and to respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing new products or enhancing its existing products or that such new or enhanced products will receive market acceptance. The Company's success also depends upon its ability to license from third parties and to incorporate into its products new technologies that become industry standards. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to obtain such licenses on favorable terms or that it will successfully incorporate such third-party technologies into its own products. The Company anticipates new releases of products in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. There can be no assurance that such new releases will not be affected by technical problems or "bugs", as is common in the software industry. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that these or other future product introductions will not be delayed. Delays in the availability, or a lack of market acceptance, of new or 18 enhanced products could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. There can be no assurance that product introductions in the future will not disrupt product revenues and adversely affect operating results. THE COMPANY COMPETES IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET The industry has become increasingly competitive and, accordingly, the Company's results may also be adversely affected by the actions of existing or future competitors, including the development of new technologies, the introduction of new products, and the reduction of prices by such competitors to gain or retain market share. The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if it were required to lower its prices significantly. OPERATING RESULTS FOR A PARTICULAR QUARTER ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT The Company participates in a highly dynamic industry and future results could be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. The Company's revenues and operating results may be unpredictable due to the Company's shipment patterns. The Company operates with little backlog of orders because its products are generally shipped as orders are received. In general, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues have been booked and shipped in the third month of the quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the latter half of that third month. In addition, the timing of closing of large license contracts and the release of new products and product upgrades increase the risk of quarter to quarter fluctuations and the uncertainty of quarterly operating results. The Company's staffing and operating expense levels are based on an operating plan and are relatively fixed throughout the quarter. As a result, if revenues are not realized in the quarter as expected, the Company's expected operating results and cash balances could be adversely affected, and such effect could be substantial and could result in an operating loss and depletion of the Company's cash balances. In such event, it may not be possible for the Company to secure sources of cash to maintain operations. THE COMPANY'S REVENUES MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE SEASONALITY OF REVENUES IN THE EUROPEAN AND GOVERNMENT MARKETS The Company experiences seasonality of revenues for both the European and the U.S. federal government markets. European revenues during the quarter ending June 30 are historically lower or relatively flat compared to the prior quarter. This reflects a reduction of customer purchases in anticipation of reduced selling activity during the summer months. Sales to the U.S. federal government generally increase during the quarter ending September 30. This seasonal increase is primarily attributable to increased purchasing activity by the U.S. federal government prior to the close of its fiscal year. Additionally, net revenues for the first quarter of the fiscal year are typically lower or relatively flat compared to net revenues of the prior quarter. REVENUES MAY BE AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN THE MIX OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The overall cost of revenues may be affected by changes in the mix of net revenue contribution between licenses and services, product families, geographical regions and channels of distribution, as the costs associated with these revenues may have substantially different characteristics. The Company may also experience a change in margin as net revenues increase or decrease since technology costs, services costs and production costs are fixed within certain volume ranges. THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONAL RESULTS COULD BE AFFECTED BY PRICE VARIATIONS The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected if it were to lower its prices significantly. In the event the Company reduced its prices, the Company's standard terms for selected distributors provide credit for inventory ordered in the previous 180 days, such credits to be applied against future purchases. 19 The Company, as a matter of policy, does not allow product returns for refund. Product returns are generally allowances for stock balancing and are accompanied by compensating and offsetting orders. Revenues are net of a provision for estimated future stock balancing and excess quantities above levels the Company believes are appropriate in its distribution channels. The Company monitors the quantity and mix of its product sales. THE COMPANY IS DEPENDANT UPON INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES IN ORDER TO DETERMINE INVENTORY AND RESERVES The Company depends on information received from external sources in evaluating the inventory levels at distribution partners in the determination of reserves for the return of materials not sold, stock rotation and price protection. Significant effort has gone into developing systems and procedures for determining the appropriate reserve level. THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS DEPENDS UPON ITS PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND THERE IS A RISK THAT SUCH RIGHTS WILL BE INFRINGED The Company attempts to protect its software with a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, employee and third party nondisclosure agreements, license agreements, and other methods of protection. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the Company's products or reverse engineer or obtain and use information the Company regards as proprietary. While the Company's competitive position may be affected by its ability to protect its intellectual property rights, the Company believes that trademark and copyright protections are less significant to the Company's success than other factors, such as the knowledge, ability, and experience of the Company's personnel, name recognition, and ongoing product development and support. PORTIONS OF THE COMPANY'S SHRINK WRAP AND/OR CLICK THROUGH LICENSES MAY NOT BE ENFORCEABLE IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS The Company's software products are generally licensed to end users on a "right-to-use" basis pursuant to a perpetual license. The Company licenses its products to end users primarily under "shrink-wrap" or "click through" license (i.e., licenses included as part of the product packaging or electronic delivery). Shrink-wrap and click-through licenses, which are not negotiated with or signed by individual end-user licensees, are intended to take effect upon opening of the product package or agreeing to the terms electronically. Certain provisions of such licenses, including provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of the licensed product, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. RISKS OF CLAIMS FROM THIRD PARTIES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE BUSINESS As the number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company believes that software products will increasingly become subject to infringement claims. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company and/or against the Company's suppliers of technology. In general, the Company's suppliers have agreed to indemnify the Company in the event any such claim involves supplier-provided software or technology, but any such claim, whether or not involving a supplier, could require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation. 20 THE COMPANY DEPENDS UPON LICENSING ADEQUATE TECHNOLOGY FROM THIRD PARTIES The Company depends on the availability of technology from third parties. Most of the software licensed by the Company is written to comply with industry standards and because the licensor is seeking to broaden its market it is made widely available on a non-exclusive basis by the licensor. As a result, this software is also readily available to competitors of the Company which want to incorporate such software into their products. The loss of any significant third-party license or the inability to license additional technology as required, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations until such time as the Company could replace such technology. TAX CARRYFORWARDS As the Company utilizes its tax carryforwards and as new tax legislation is enacted, the Company's effective tax rate is subject to change. THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE AFFECTED BY FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES Substantial portions of the Company's revenues are derived from sales to customers outside the United States. Trade sales to international customers represented 52%, 54% and 56% of total revenues for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's revenues can be affected by general economic conditions in the United States, Europe and other international markets. The Company's operating strategy and pricing take into account changes in exchange rates over time. However, the Company's results of operations may be significantly affected in the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. THE CARRYING AMOUNT OF PURCHASED SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSES MAY BE REDUCED DUE TO THE COMPANY'S AMORTIZATION POLICY The Company's policy is to amortize purchased software and technology licenses using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is greater. Due to competitive pressures, it is reasonably possible that those estimates of anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product, or both will be reduced significantly in the near future. As a result, the carrying amount of the Company's purchased software and technology licenses may be reduced materially in the near future and, therefore, could create an adverse impact on the Company's future reported earnings. THE COMPANY MAY MAKE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS WHERE ADVISABLE AND ACQUISITIONS INVOLVE NUMEROUS RISKS The Company continually evaluates potential acquisition candidates. Such candidates are selected based on products or markets that are complementary to those of the Company's. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including the successful combination of the companies in an efficient and timely manner, the coordination of research and development and sales efforts, the retention of key personnel, the integration of the acquired products, the diversion of management's attention to assimilation of the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, and the difficulty of presenting a unified corporate image. The Company's operations and financial results could be significantly affected by such an acquisition. 21 THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE MARKET VALUES OF ITS PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS The Company is exposed to equity price risk regarding the marketable portion of equity securities in its portfolio of investments entered into for the promotion of business and strategic objectives. This risk increased significantly after the completion of the transaction with Caldera. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the market values of portfolio investments. The Company maintains investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Part of this portfolio includes minority equity investments in several publicly traded companies, the values of which are subject to market price volatility. The Company has also invested in several privately held companies, many of which can still be considered in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky as the market for the technologies or products they have under development are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. The Company could lose its entire initial investment in these companies. The Company typically does not attempt to reduce or eliminate its market exposure pertaining to these equity securities. THE COMPANY'S SUCCESS LARGELY DEPENDS UPON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT KEY PERSONNEL The Company's continued success depends to a significant extent on senior management and other key employees. None of these individuals is subject to a long-term employment contract or a non-competition agreement. Competition for qualified people in the software industry is intense. The loss of one or more key employees or the Company's inability to attract and retain other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE The stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. In addition, factors such as new product introductions by the Company or its competitors may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. Furthermore, quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in the Company's results of operations caused by changes in customer demand may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's stock. These conditions, as well as factors which generally affect the market for stocks of high technology companies, could cause the price of the Company's stock to fluctuate substantially over short periods. IF THE COMPANY FAILS TO BECOME EURO-COMPLIANT IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT MAY RESULT IN AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL POSITION The Single European Currency (Euro) was introduced on January 1, 1999 with complete transition to this new currency required by January 2002. We have made and expect to continue to make changes to our internal systems in preparation for the transition to the Euro. Changes made to date include changing the operating currency of the European subsidiaries that are affected by the Euro from the national currency to the Euro, which became effective during fiscal 2001. We expect to complete the conversion of all financial aspects of these subsidiaries by December 31, 2001. We further expect that use of the Euro may affect our foreign exchange activities and may result in increased fluctuations in foreign currency results. Any delays in our ability to be Euro-compliant could have an adverse impact on our results of operations or financial position. 22 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, at the beginning of its fiscal year 2001. The standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. During the year, the Company maintained certain derivatives related to warrants held by the Company in Ebiz, Inc., and warrants issued by the Company to underwriters of a private placement completed in the prior year. The fair value of the warrants were recorded at October 1, 2000 with adjustments recorded to income throughout the year based on the then current fair value. As of September 30, 2001, the fair value of both warrants was determined to be insignificant. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141 is applicable to business combinations beginning July 1, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded on the Company's consolidated financial statements will be affected by the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Tarantella is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on October 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement in not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In September of 2000, SFAS No. 140 was issued replacing SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. In addition, this statement requires certain disclosures regarding securitization of financial assets. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue and financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. The Company has adopted SAB 101 effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The implementation of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 23 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET-RATE SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT The following discussion about the Company's risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity security price risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The following tables summarize the financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2001 which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In the past the Company used forward foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange exposures associated with underlying assets, liabilities and anticipated transactions. Since the completion of the transaction in which the Company sold the Server Software and Professional Services divisions to Caldera International, the Company does not feel the foreign exchange risk is great enough to warrant the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts. In the normal course of business, the Company also faces risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include technology risk, country risk, credit risk and legal risk, and are not represented in the following tables. INTEREST-RATE RISK As of September 30, 2001 the Company had cash and equivalents of $12.1 million, consisting of cash and highly liquid money market instruments with maturities of less than 90 days, and bank certificate of deposits of $2.0 million. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of the portfolio. The company would not expect operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest on our portfolio. 24 ITEM 8.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 29 TARANTELLA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY THE COMPANY Tarantella is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure software that enables web-based access to enterprise applications. The Tarantella Enterprise 3 solution instantly provides managed and secure Web access to enterprise mainframe, Windows, AS/400, Linux, and UNIX applications. It leverages existing IT assets to provide cost savings, improved productivity, and the flexibility to accommodate the rapid changes in today's organizations. The Company was incorporated as The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) in California in 1979. On May 4, 2001, SCO completed the sale of its Server Software and Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc., retaining the Tarantella Division. A new company, Caldera International, was formed which combined the assets acquired from SCO with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the sale, The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc. and its Nasdaq trading symbol to TTLA, reflecting the new corporate focus. NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company operates in the software industry, which is characterized by intense competition, rapid technological advances and evolving industry standards. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, dependence on an industry that is characterized by rapid technological changes, fluctuations in end-user demands, evolving industry standards, competition, and risks associated with foreign currencies. Failure by the Company to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements or changes in industry standards could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("generally accepted accounting principles") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Such estimates include the allowances for bad debt, product returns and certain accrued expenses and liabilities, and a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments include instruments with lives ranging from 91 days to three years. INVESTMENTS The Company classifies its investments in certain equity securities in publicly traded companies as available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair market value, based on quoted market prices and unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2001, unrealized losses on such investments were $5.7 million. As of September 30, 2000, unrealized gains were $3.5 million. The Company has investments in privately held companies which are classified as other assets. Realized gains and losses, which are calculated based on the specific 30 identification method, are recorded in operations as incurred. Investments in companies with less than 20% ownership are carried at the lower of cost or realizable value. CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of cash accounts held at various banks, a money market fund held at several financial institutions and a certificate of deposit. We sell our products various organizations in different industries and geographies. Credit risk is further mitigated by our credit evaluation process and limited payment terms. We do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. In addition, we maintain an allowance for potential credit losses. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost and, except for assets recorded under capital lease and leasehold improvements, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements and assets recorded under capitalized leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated economic life of the asset, ranging from one to ten years. PURCHASED SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSES Purchased software consists of core intellectual property rights owned by the Company. Technology licenses represent payments for the rights to use and integrate third party technology into the Company's product offerings. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, ranging from three to ten years, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever results in greater amortization. ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews property and equipment and purchased software and technology licenses for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to estimated future net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the projected discounted future operating cash flows. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86 provides for the capitalization of certain software development costs once technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is greater. Through September 30, 2001, the Company believes its process for developing software was essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date. At each balance sheet date the Company compares the unamortized balance of purchased software and technology with its net realizable value. Any amount by which the unamortized balance exceeds the net realizable value is written off. The net realizable value is calculated as the estimated future gross revenues from the product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing the maintenance and customer support required to satisfy the Company's responsibility set forth at the time of the sale. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenue is derived primarily from two sources, across many industries: (i) products license revenue, derived primarily from product sales to resellers and end users, including large scale enterprises and royalty revenue, derived primarily from initial license fees and ongoing royalties from product sales by source code OEMs; and (ii) services and support revenue, derived primarily from providing software updates, support and education and consulting services to end users. The Company adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. Product revenue is recognized upon shipment if evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of resulting receivables is probable and product returns 31 are reasonably assured. Sales to distributors, are recognized upon sale by the distributor to resellers or end users. Estimated product returns are recorded upon recognition of revenue from customers having rights of return, including exchange rights for unsold products and product upgrades. Until May 2001, the Company sold two types of software product -- its UNIX based operating system software, which was sold under the Unixware and OpenServer names, and its application broker software sold under the Tarantella name. In May 2001, the Company sold the UNIX based business to Caldera Systems, Inc. The Company sold Unixware and OpenServer products separately and as a result, contracts involving the sale of Unixware and OpenServer which contain multiple obligations (e.g. delivered and undelivered products, maintenance and other services), the Company allocated revenue to each component of the contract based on objective evidence of its fair value, which is specific to the Company. The fair value of each element is based on the price sold separately. The Company recognized revenue allocated to undelivered products when the criteria for product revenue set forth above was met. For multiple element contracts involving the sale of its Tarantella product the Company uses the residual value method to allocate revenue to each component. The fair value of services and post contract support is determined based upon separate sales and renewal rates set forth in the contract, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance fees for ongoing customer support and product updates ratably over the period of the maintenance contract. Payments for maintenance fees are generally made in advance and are non-refundable. For revenue allocated to education and consulting services or derived from the separate sale of such services, the Company recognizes revenue as the related services are performed. The Company recognizes product revenue from royalty payments upon receipt of quarterly royalty reports from OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) related to their product sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses have been within management's expectations. COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company reimburses certain qualified customers for a portion of the advertising costs related to their promotion of the Company's products. The Company's maximum liability for reimbursement is accrued at the time revenue is recognized as a percentage of the qualified customer's net revenue derived from the Company's products. For 2001, 2000 and 1999, cooperative advertising expense totaled approximately $1.6 million, $7.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively. INCOME TAXES The Company records income taxes using an asset and liability approach that results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in tax laws are considered. When necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce tax assets to an amount whose realization is more likely than not. The provision for income taxes represents taxes payable for the current period, plus the net change in deferred tax amounts. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. For the Company, dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods. 32 A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is provided as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

SEGMENT INFORMATION In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 131 supercedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise". Under the new standard the Company is required to use the "management" approach to reporting its segments. The management approach designates the internal 33 organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's segments. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, at the beginning of its fiscal year 2001. The standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. During the year, the Company maintained certain derivatives related to warrants held by the Company in Ebiz, Inc., and warrants issued by the Company to underwriters of a private placement completed in the prior year. The fair value of the warrants were recorded at October 1, 2000 with adjustments recorded to income throughout the year based on the then current fair value. As of September 30, 2001, the fair value of both warrants was determined to be insignificant. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141 is applicable to business combinations beginning July 1, 2001. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. Goodwill and intangible assets previously recorded on the Company's consolidated financial statements will be affected by the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Tarantella is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on October 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In September of 2000, SFAS No. 140 was issued replacing SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. In addition, this statement requires certain disclosures regarding securitization of financial assets. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue and financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. The Company has adopted SAB 101 effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The implementation of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 34 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for employee stock plans under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation ("FASB") No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" (an Interpretation of APB No. 25) and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local foreign currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from translation of the subsidiaries' accounts are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and have not been significant. HEDGING OF FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS In the past the Company utilized foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency market exposures of underlying assets, liabilities and other obligations. The Company did not use forward exchange contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company's accounting policies for these instruments are based on the Company's designation of such instruments as hedging transactions. The criteria the Company uses for designating an instrument as a hedge include the instrument's effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one matching of forward exchange contracts to underlying transactions. Gains and losses on currency forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of firm commitments are deferred and recognized in income in the same period that the underlying transactions are settled. Gains and losses on currency forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of existing transactions are recognized in income in the same period as losses and gains on the underlying transactions are recognized and generally offset. Gains and losses on any instruments not meeting the above criteria would be recognized in income in the current period. The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies. At September 30, 2001 the Company had no foreign exchange contracts. At September 30, 2000, the Company had foreign exchange contracts, all having maturities of 90 days or less, to sell approximately $9,000,000 in U.S. dollars. The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2000 was not significant. As of September 30, 2000 the following contracts were outstanding: Forward Contracts September 30, 2000

35 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The fair values of investments are determined using quoted market prices for those securities or similar financial instruments. The fair value of other long-term liabilities approximates the carrying value due to the market interest rates that these obligations bear. A non-interest bearing $8.0 million note receivable was received from Caldera in connection with the sale of the server and professional services divisions. The note is due in quarterly installments beginning August 1, 2002 and is secured by certain intellectual property sold to Caldera. The value of the note receivable at September 30, 2001 is as follows: CALDERA NOTE RECEIVABLE

Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.1 million, $9.9 million and $11.7 million during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During fiscal 2001 the Company sold net property and equipment of $8.4 million to Caldera as part of the sale of the Server and Professional Services divisions. NOTE 7 - LINE OF CREDIT At September 30, 2001, the Company had available an $18 million line of credit from the Canopy Group, under which the Company had no borrowings. The interest rate on this line of credit is 10% on amounts borrowed. The line of credit expires on December 31, 2001 and is secured by the assets of the Company. In connection with the line of credit, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,440,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.5625 Per share. The warrant expires on January 8, 2003. The estimated fair value of the warrant, $1.0 million, has been recorded as a deferred financing cost in other assets and is being amortized over the term of the agreement. NOTE 8 - ROYALTIES PAYABLE Royalties payable represent obligations to pay authors of certain software products under licensing agreements. Two corporate shareholders accounted $0.6 million of royalty expense for fiscal 2000. At September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 no royalties were payable to corporate shareholders. There was no royalty expense for corporate shareholders in fiscal 2001. 37 NOTE 9 - ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

The cost of assets recorded under capital leases was $35,260 and $8.2 million at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accumulated amortization on those dates was $23,449 and $6.1 million, respectively. Rent expense amounted to approximately $4.9 million, $7.7 million and $8.0 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. 38 Included in the Company's operating lease commitments are facilities leased from Encinal Partners, a partnership which includes the Company President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company's Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the lease agreements and determined that the lease agreements entered into by the Company are equivalent to agreements that would be negotiated with an independent third party on an "arms-length" basis. The remaining lease term of this facility is four years. Rent expense for this facility amounted to approximately $1.4 million in fiscal 2001, $1.5 million in fiscal 2000, and $1.4 million in fiscal 1999. From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may experience claims in the ordinary course of business, including among others employee legal actions and alleged trademark infringements. Due to the nature of these matters, it is not possible to either determine the range of loss that may result from them or their ultimate resolution. NOTE 11 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2001, there were no shares of Preferred Series stock either issued or outstanding. 1993 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for all eligible employees which is administered by the Board of Directors. Under the ESPP, shares of the Company's ESPP stock may be purchased at six-month intervals at 85% of the fair market value on the first or last day of each six-month period whichever is lower. Employees may purchase shares through payroll deductions of up to 10% of gross compensation during an offering period. During 2001, 2000, and 1999, employees purchased 670,591, 493,092, and 589,968 shares at an average per share price of $1.72, $4.31, and $3.52 , respectively. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was increased by 250,000 shares in July 2001. As of September 30, 2001, 1,196,466 shares were reserved for future issuance. 1994 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN As of September 30, 2001, the Company had authorized 21,513,665 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). The Company's Board of Directors administers the Option Plan and determines the terms of the options granted under the Option Plan, including the exercise price, number of shares subject to each option and the exercisability thereof. In addition, the stock option committee of the Company's Board of Directors is authorized to grant up to 50,000 shares to an individual employee or consultant under the terms of the Option Plan during a one-year period. In July 2001, the number of shares available for issuance under this plan was increased by 1,500,000 shares. As of September 30, 2001 there were 6.7 million shares available for issuance. On October 9, 2001, 4.1 million shares were granted, reducing the number of shares available for issuance to 2.6 million shares. The exercise price of all incentive options granted under the Option Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value. Options granted under the Option Plan prior to January 31, 1996 generally become exercisable over a five year period. Effective January 31, 1996, the vesting period for subsequent grants was changed to four years. The term of each option is ten years. 1993 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN The Company's 1993 Director Option Plan (the "Director Plan") provides for the granting of nonstatutory stock options to non-employee directors of the Company and is administered by the Board of Directors. In July 2001, the number of shares available for issuance under the Director Plan was increased by 100,000 shares. As of September 30, 2001 there were 1.0 million shares available for issuance. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, and changes during the years then ended is presented below: 39

PRO FORMA FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and other stock-based compensation under the fair value method. The fair value of the options granted under the Option Plan and the Director Plan was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2001, 2000, and 1999: risk-free interest rate of 4.91% for 2001, 6.31% for 2000, and 5.27% for 1999; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 87.5% for 2001, 75% for 2000 and 65% for 1999; an average turnover rate of 15% and a four year and five year expected life for options granted to employees and executives, respectively. 40 The fair value for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan rights were also estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2001, 2000, and 1999: risk-free interest rates of 4.74%, 5.07%, and 4.91%, respectively; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of 87.5% for 2001, 75% for 2000, and 65% for 1999; and six month expected life. The weighted average fair value of the ESPP rights granted in 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $1.02, $2.86, and $1.31, respectively.
(In thousands, except Fiscal Years Ended per share price) September 30, -------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ ------------ Pro forma net income (loss) $ (13,004) $ (67,423) $ 10,464 Pro forma earnings (loss) per share Basic $ (0.33) $ (1.89) $ 0.31 Diluted $ (0.33) $ (1.89) $ 0.29
The pro forma effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for recognizing compensation expense may not be representative of the effects on the reported net income or loss for future years because the options granted by the Company vest over several years and additional awards may be made in the future. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES The Company repurchases its common stock on the open market, both systematically and non-systematically. Under the systematic stock repurchase plan, shares of common stock are repurchased to help negate the dilutive effects of the Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, the company did not repurchase any shares under the systematic plan, while in fiscal years ended 2000, and 1999, the purchases and retirements of common stock under the systematic plan were 758,578 shares and 1,038,000 shares respectively. Under the non-systematic repurchase plan, the Company may repurchase up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the company did not repurchase any shares under the non-systematic plan, while in fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 1,386,000 were repurchased and retired under the non-systematic plan. Both the systematic and non-systematic plans have been approved for continuance into fiscal 2002. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS In September 1997, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan which provides existing shareholders with the right to purchase a partial share of preferred stock for each share of common stock owned by the shareholder in the event of certain changes in the Company's ownership. These rights may serve as a deterrent to certain takeover attempts not approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The rights expire in September 2007. WARRANTS On September 22, 2000 the Company entered into a private placement agreement where the investors have subscribed for a total of 409,375 units at $32 per unit. Each unit consists of 8 shares of common stock of the Company and a warrant to purchase either 2 additional shares of the Company's stock at $3.75 per share or 1 share of Caldera common stock at $6.50 per share. The total fair value of the Tarantella common stock plus either of the warrants was in excess of the $32.00 received. The warrants have a two year life. Total proceeds from the private placement, net of issuance costs of $331,000, were $12.8 million. When the transaction with Caldera was consummated, the Company assessed the fair value of the warrants in Caldera stock and reclassified $1.2 million, the amount equal to this fair value, from equity to liabilities. In addition, the Company will continue to reassess the fair value of this liability for every reporting period until the warrants are exercised or expire. Any change in the fair value of this liability is recorded into the statements of operations. 41 Upon the initial issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Upon the closing of the Caldera transaction the Company determined the fair value using a binomial valuation model and the following assumptions: a two year exercise period, a 100% volatility rate for Caldera, which is consistent with the rate disclosed in their financial statements, and a dividend rate of zero. Based on the assumptions above, the fair value of the warrants to purchase 439,375 shares as of September 30, 2001 was zero and as of September 30, 2000 was approximately $697,000. During fiscal 2001, in connection with a line of credit (see Note 7); the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,440,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.5625 Per share. The warrant expires on January 8, 2003. NOTE 12 -- INCOME TAXES Income (loss) before income taxes for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 include foreign pretax profit of approximately $2.6 million, $3.2 million and $6.6 million respectively.

The net change in the total valuation allowance for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 was an increase of approximately $25.0 million, $25.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001 will be allocated to income tax benefit and additional paid in capital in the amounts of $69.6 million and $8.2 million respectively. The Company's management believes the uncertainty regarding the timing of the realization of net deferred tax assets requires a valuation allowance. 43 At September 30, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $109.8 million which expire in fiscal years 2012 through 2021, and foreign tax and research credit carryforwards of approximately $1.2 million and $10.1 million respectively, which expire in fiscal 2002 through 2015. Additionally, the Company has other tax credits of approximately $0.9 million that have no expiration date. At September 30, 2001, the cumulative unremitted foreign earnings of the Company were not material. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely. NOTE 13 -- TRANSACTION WITH CALDERA SYSTEMS, INC. On May 4, 2001, the Company consummated the sale of its Server Software and Professional Services Divisions to Caldera Systems, Inc. Under the terms of the transaction, Caldera Systems, Inc. acquired the assets of the server and professional services groups. A new company, Caldera International, was formed which combined the assets acquired from the Company with the assets of Caldera Systems. Upon the completion of the sale the Company is continuing to operate its Tarantella business, and accordingly, changed its corporate name to Tarantella, Inc. and NASDAQ trading symbol to TTLA to reflect the new corporate name. As consideration for the transaction, the Company received 16 million common stock shares of Caldera International (representing approximately 28.2% of Caldera International), $23 million in cash (of which $7 million was received on January 26, 2001) and a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $8 million that will be received in quarterly installments of $2 million beginning the fifth quarter after the combination is completed. In addition, if the OpenServer line of business of the server and professional services groups generates revenues in excess of specified thresholds during the three-year period following the completion of the combination the Company will have earn-out rights entitling it to receive 45% of these excess revenues. The transaction was treated as a disposal of server and professional services groups and a gain of $53,267,000 was recorded upon completion of the transaction. The Company accounts for its investment in Caldera International using the equity method of accounting. As Tarantella retained a 28.2% interest in Caldera International, including the server and professional services groups, the Company did not recognize a gain on 100% of the sale of the server and professional services groups. Tarantella recorded a gain calculated at 71.8% of the fair value of the Caldera International stock received less 71.8% of SCO's basis in the assets of the server and professional services groups plus net cash consideration and the fair value of the note receivable at the date of closing as follows (dollars in thousands except per share amounts):
CONSIDERATION: Fair value of Caldera International common stock (16 million at $2.56 per share times 71.8%) $ 29,440 Cash consideration 23,000 Note receivable discounted to present value at 10% per annum 6,828 Net cash equivalents transferred 3,384 Expenses (5,891) ------------ 56,761 71.8% of net assets of server and professional services groups to be sold (3,494) ------------ Recognized gain $ 53,267 ============
The gain calculation used $2.56, the fair market value of Caldera International common on May 4, 2001, the closing date of the transaction. 44 The basis of Tarantella's investment in Caldera International was determined as follows (dollars in thousands):
Adjusted fair value of Caldera International common stock $ 29,440 Portion of investment in Caldera International with no step up in basis 1,371 Shares of Caldera Systems previously owned 250 ------------ Basis of investment 31,061 Tarantella's share in Caldera International's net assets after completion of the reorganization 39,600 ------------ Excess of net assets acquired over the value of the investment $ 8,539 ============
The excess of net assets acquired over the value of the investment represents negative goodwill and is amortized over the estimated useful life of five years. For the fourth fiscal quarter, the Company's operating results included 28.2% of the operating results of Caldera International, adjusted for amortization of 5 months of negative goodwill of approximately $0.7 million. The net amount of the losses included were $4.6 million. The Company also recorded an impairment of the investment, net of the remaining negative goodwill of $7.8 million, in the amount of $22.5 million. The impairment was recorded as the share price of Caldera International was significantly below the fair market value of Tarantella's and was deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. NOTE 14 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGE FISCAL 2001 During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company announced and completed a restructuring plan, which resulted in a one-time charge of $1.6 million, which when taken with an adjustment to a previously established restructuring reserve, resulted in the net charge of $1.1 million. The Company has reduced its spending levels to align its operating expenses with the Company's revenues. The restructuring charge is related to the Tarantella division and included a reduction in personnel of 28 employees and a planned elimination and sublet of unused facilities. The entire $1.6 million relates to cash expenditures. The severance charges of $1.5 million include the elimination of 16 positions in the United States, 4 positions in the United Kingdom, and 8 positions in various other geographies. The reductions in force affect the sales, marketing and general and administrative functions of the Company.

NOTE 15 -- INVESTMENTS In November 1996, the Company purchased $2.0 million of convertible debentures from a domestic distribution channel partner. In February 1999, the Company elected to convert, in its entirety, the debenture into shares of preferred stock. In January 2000 the Company redeemed 68,805 shares at their cost of $2.181 per share. After the redemption the Company had 848,259 shares of preferred stock at a cost of $1.85 million. On January 4, 2001 the channel distribution partner was purchased by Ebiz Enterprises, Inc., and the Company received 2,367,999 shares of Ebiz common stock. In March 2000, the Company purchased $2.0 million of preferred stock in a private Linux distribution company. On October 5, 2000 this company was purchased by Ebiz Enterprises, Inc.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had gross accounts receivable with Ebiz of $1.1 million, however this amount is fully reserved as the company has declared bankruptcy and may not have the ability to pay. At September 30, 2000, the Company had net accounts receivable outstanding with this domestic distribution channel partner of $1.0 million. Sales to this related party was $2.0 million for fiscal 2001, $5.3 million for fiscal 2000 and $8.0 million for fiscal 1999.
