PowerCerv Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share amounts)

A.    Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of PowerCerv Corporation and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company” or “PowerCerv”) as of June 30, 2001, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2001, and for all periods presented have been made. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000, included in the Company’s 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2001 (“2000 Annual Report”).

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

     In June 2001, the Company implemented a one-for-nine reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts included herein give effect to the reverse stock split.

     On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for the year beginning January 1, 2002; however certain provisions of that Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001, and the effective date of SFAS 142. The Company has not yet analyzed the effect, if any, of these new standards; accordingly, the Company is unable at present to state what effect, if any, the adoption of these standards will have on the Company’s financial statements.

B.    Revenue Recognition

     License fees represent revenue from the licensing of the Company’s open, modifiable Integrated Enterprise Response Software Solutions with innovative e-Commerce application products. License fees also include royalties earned on the application products and related intellectual properties. Service fees represent revenue from consulting services, education services and support and maintenance services.

     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position 98-4, Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2 (“SOP 98-4”) and Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”). Revenue is recognized from licenses of the Company’s software

products when the contract has been executed, the product(s) has been shipped, collectibility is probable and the software license fees are fixed or determinable. In the event that the contract provides for multiple elements (e.g., software products, post-contract customer support, consulting services), the total fee is allocated to these elements based on “vendor-specific objective evidence” of fair value. If any portion of the license fees is subject to forfeiture, refund or other contractual contingencies, the Company will postpone revenue recognition until these contingencies have been removed. Historically, product returns and allowances have been immaterial. The Company generally accounts for consulting and education services separate from software license fees for those multi-element arrangements where services are a separate element and are not essential to the customer’s functionality requirements and there is “vendor-specific objective evidence” of fair value for these services. Consulting and education revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from support and maintenance activities is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is recorded as deferred revenue.

C.    Earnings (Loss) Per Share Data

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) for the periods indicated:

                                   
      Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
      June 30,   June 30,
     
 
      2001   2000   2001   2000
     
 
 
 
Basic:
                               
 
Net loss
  $ (783 )   $ (3,134 )   $ (2,004 )   $ (7,035 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
 
Average shares outstanding
    1,535       1,535       1,535       1,526  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Basic EPS
  $ (.51 )   $ (2.04 )   $ (1.31 )   $ (4.61 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
Diluted:
                               
 
Net loss
  $ (783 )   $ (3,134 )   $ (2,004 )   $ (7,035 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
 
Average shares outstanding
    1,535       1,535       1,535       1,526  
 
Net effect of dilutive stock options— based on the treasury stock method
                       
 
   
     
     
     
 
 
    Totals
    1,535       1,535       1,535       1,526  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Diluted EPS
  $ (.51 )   $ (2.04 )   $ (1.31 )   $ (4.61 )
 
   
     
     
     
 

     Common stock equivalents in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during those periods. Therefore, the diluted net loss per share in these periods is the same as the basic net loss per share.

     The Company held its annual meeting of shareholders on June 1, 2001. At this meeting, the shareholders approved an amendment to PowerCerv’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split and authorized the Board of Directors to make the final determination on the reverse stock split. The Board of Directors at its June 1, 2001, meeting approved a 1-for-9 reverse stock split effective June 4, 2001. As a result, the Company’s average shares outstanding decreased from 13,811 to 1,535 for the current period. Prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

D.    Commitments

     The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its executive officers. Information regarding these agreements is available in the 2000 Annual Report.

E.    Contingencies

     A complaint was filed on July 24, 1997, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, entitled J. Conrad Lifsey v. Harold Ross, Gerald Wicker, Marc J. Fratello, Roy E. Crippen, III, Donald B. Hebb, Jr., Thomas S. Roberts, PowerCerv Corporation, Alex Brown & Sons, Inc., Robertson, Stephens & Company, ABS Capital Partners, L.P., Summit Investors III, L.P (collectively the “Defendants”). The complaint purports to be a class action on behalf of those persons who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock from March 1, 1996 (the date of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock (“IPO”)) through July 24, 1996. The complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants violated the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in connection with the Company’s IPO and in its subsequent securities filings, press releases and other public statements. The plaintiffs sought damages of an unspecified amount, rescission of certain securities sales and certain other remedies.

     In January 2001, the district court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss but provided the plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint. Since the date of the hearing, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and the Defendants again filed a Motion to dismiss the amended pleading. In July 2001, the parties to the litigation reached an agreement in principle for settlement of the litigation. Subject to the district court’s final approval, the Defendants in the case (who deny any wrongdoing) are to pay an amount for the creation of a settlement fund in exchange for which the plaintiffs will dismiss the case with prejudice. The entire settlement amount is to be paid by the Company’s insurer. The parties are currently finalizing a memorandum of understanding confirming the parties’ settlement agreement. The district court entered an order on July 12, 2001, dismissing the case without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 3.08(b). Upon submission of the settlement papers to the Court and upon preliminary approval by the Court, the class members will be provided with notice and an opportunity to opt out of the settlement. After the period for opt out lapses, the Court will hold a hearing for final approval of the settlement.

     The Company, in the normal course of business, is also subject to miscellaneous other legal proceedings. The Company is defending these proceedings and anticipates that it will be successful and/or able to resolve these matters in a manner that will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

F.    Income Taxes

     As of June 30, 2001, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $13,016 that is fully reserved.

     During the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a charge related to estimated federal and state income tax and interest totaling $359 resulting from an Internal Revenue Service examination of the Company’s 1996 and 1995 federal income tax returns. The amount allocated to tax expense is $209, and $150 was allocated to interest expense. The Internal Revenue Service has rendered an unfavorable assessment resulting in the estimated exposure amount. The Company has appealed this assessment, although there can be no assurances of a successful outcome.

G.    Segment Reporting

     The Company has identified its operating segments as its services and license product segments. In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The services segment provides consulting, education, support and maintenance services, and the license product segment provides Integrated Enterprise Response Software Solutions with innovative e-Commerce application products.

     The following tables provide the various segment data:

     There were no transactions between segments. The unallocated amounts are made up of the following items:

                                 
    Three   Six   Three   Six
    Months Ended   Months Ended   Months Ended   Months Ended

  $ (689 )   $ (1,445 )   $ (1,843 )   $ (3,443 )

     The Company does not use assets as a measure of the segment’s performance, thus no assets are disclosed by segment in the tables above.

H.    Work Force Reduction and Other

     During the first quarter of 2001, the Company announced and completed a work force reduction in line with its objective to streamline overall operations and improve financial condition. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $169 related to severance costs for approximately 30 employees (1 senior-level staff and 29 non senior-level employees primarily in research and development and services). As of June 30, 2001, approximately $33 remains in accrued liabilities for severance payments.

     During the second quarter of 2001, the Company implemented a minor workforce reduction resulting in the elimination of approximately nine positions throughout the Company. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $24 related to severance costs associated with the terminations. As of June 30, 2001, these costs have been substantially paid.

     During the second quarter of 2000, the Company initiated actions to reduce its work force and undertook cost cutting measures. The Company recorded a restructuring charge related to a work force reduction and other expenses totaling $873 of which $711 was recorded in the second quarter and $162 was recorded in the third quarter. The total restructuring charge includes severance and related costs of $649 (4 senior-level staff and 35 non senior-level employees primarily in sales, services and research and development) and costs of $224 related to office closings. As of June 30, 2001, approximately $241 remains in accrued liabilities in connection with the 2000 restructuring including $209 of severance cost.

Office closings were completed during the third quarter of 2000.

The Company has focused its resources, including product development, marketing and sales efforts, on the needs and requirements of companies in this market. The Company’s revenues currently consist primarily of software license fees and fees for services relating to the Company’s applications, including consulting, education and maintenance and support.

     The Company was organized in April 1992, and through calendar year 1994 a substantial part of the Company’s revenue was derived from technology resales and consulting and education services. The Company began selling its own license product in the fourth quarter of 1993. Since then, the Company has brought several additional applications to the market. Service fees remain the Company’s largest single revenue source, although the Company’s strategy is to seek to increase revenue generated from licensing its application products. On March 31, 1999, the Company sold its general consulting and general education business (consulting and education services other than its application-related services) to a related party. It also finalized a strategy developed in 1998 to discontinue resales of various third-party software products.

     License fees represent revenue from licensing the Company’s open, modifiable Integrated Enterprise Response Software Solutions with innovative e-Commerce application products and royalties earned on the Company’s application products and related intellectual properties. Service fees represent revenue from implementing the Company’s application products, consulting services, education services and maintenance and support services.

     Beginning January 1, 1998, the Company has recognized revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position 98-4 (“SOP 98-4”), Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2. Revenue is recognized from licenses of the Company’s

software products when the contract has been executed, the product(s) has been shipped, collectibility is probable and the software license fees are fixed or determinable. In the event that the contract provides for multiple elements (e.g., software products, post-contract customer support, consulting services), the total fee is allocated to these elements based on “vendor-specific objective evidence” of fair value. If any portion of the license fee is subject to forfeiture, refund or other contractual contingencies, the Company will postpone revenue recognition until these contingencies have been removed. Historically, product returns and allowances have been immaterial. The Company generally accounts for consulting and education services separate from software license fees for those multi-element arrangements where services are a separate element and are not essential to the customer’s functionality requirements and there is “vendor-specific objective evidence” of fair value for these services. Consulting and education revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from support and maintenance activities is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is recorded as deferred revenue. Prior to January 1, 1998, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition.

     On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for the year beginning January 1, 2002; however certain provisions of that Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001, and the effective date of SFAS 142. The Company has not yet analyzed the effect, if any, of these new standards; accordingly, the Company is unable at present to state what effect, if any, the adoption of these standards will have on the Company’s financial statements.

     License fees. The Company’s license fees are derived from licensing the Company’s application products. In addition, any royalty fees earned are included in license fees. The Company establishes its licensing fees using a tiered pricing approach based on the number of concurrent servers and users. Source code licenses are available at an additional cost.

     License fees decreased for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, compared to the same periods in 2000. The decrease was due to fewer license deals closed in the second quarter of the current year. Although the Company believes there will be growth in its license revenue, there can be no assurance that the Company’s license revenues will increase in accordance with management’s expectations, if at all.

     Service fees. The Company’s service fees consist of revenue from consulting, education and support and maintenance services for the Company’s application software licenses. Consulting services are primarily provided on a time and materials basis, education services are generally priced on a per-student basis and annual support and maintenance are based on a percentage of related license fees. Management believes that the decrease in service revenue resulted from fewer new license deals closed in previous quarters. Generally, to the extent that revenue from licensing its application products increases, the Company believes the demand for application consulting services (and related revenue) over subsequent quarters will likely increase; however, there can be no assurance that license revenue will increase or that if it does increase, revenue from service fees will increase correspondingly.

Costs and Expenses

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial data regarding the Company’s costs associated with its license fees and services:

                                                 
Cost of Revenues:   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,
 
 
    2001   Change   2000   2001   Change   2000

 
 
Cost of licenses
  $ 79       (22 %)   $ 101     $ 157       (34 %)   $ 239  
Gross profit percentage
    88 %             92 %     86 %             84 %

 
 
Cost of services
    875       (48 %)     1,696       1,968       (42 %)     3,390  
Gross profit percentage
    25 %             20 %     24 %             21 %

 
 

     Cost of licenses. The cost of licenses consists primarily of production costs, royalties associated with certain modules of the Company’s application products and the amortization of intangible assets. The cost of licenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 decreased 22% and 34%, respectively compared to 2000 primarily resulting from fewer third party fees on licenses sold offset by higher amortization expense.

     Cost of services. The cost of services consists primarily of compensation and travel costs associated with providing consulting, product support and maintenance, technical services and education.

The cost of services decreased 48% and 42% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared to 2000 primarily due to a lower compensation expense and operating costs for the periods. In addition to the 2000 workforce reduction, the Company’s January 2001 work force reduction resulted in the elimination of approximately seven service positions. The Company expects to realize gross annual savings of approximately $600 as a result of these terminations. A minor work force reduction was also implemented in the second quarter of 2001 resulting in the termination of two additional service positions. The Company believes that these reductions have resulted in lower expenses and increased utilization of remaining service personnel; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will return to profitability as a result of these actions.

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial data regarding the Company’s operating expenses:

                                                 
Operating Expenses:   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,
 
 
    2001   Change   2000   2001   Change   2000

 
 
General and administrative
  $ 683       (41 %)   $ 1,150     $ 1,293       (46 %)   $ 2,411  
Percentage of total revenues
    38 %             35 %     35 %             41 %

 
 
Sales and marketing
    450       (73 %)     1,692       1,005       (71 %)     3,447  
Percentage of total revenues
    25 %             51 %     27 %             59 %

 
 
Research and development
    493       (56 %)     1,127       1,091       (54 %)     2,347  
Percentage of total revenues
    27 %             34 %     30 %             40 %

 
 

     General and administrative (G&A). G&A expenses include general compensation, communications, accounting, human resources, legal and related facilities expenses. The decrease in G&A expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, compared to 2000, primarily resulted from lower compensation, bad debt and other operating costs. The Company believes that cost cutting measures have resulted in lower expenses and increased utilization of remaining G&A personnel; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will return to profitability as a result of these actions.

     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation paid to sales and marketing personnel; costs of marketing, including direct mail and telemarketing activities; costs of public relations, including trade shows and conferences; and related communications costs. Sales and marketing costs decreased 73% and 71% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2000 primarily as a result of lower compensation in the current periods. The sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased due to substantial cost cutting measures implemented by the Company in 2000 and 2001. The Company’s January 2001 work force reduction resulted in the elimination of approximately four sales and marketing positions. The Company expects to realize gross annual savings of approximately $220 as a result of these terminations. A minor work force reduction was also implemented in the second quarter of 2001 resulting in the elimination of three additional sales and marketing positions. Further, certain non-critical costs were discontinued or deferred until revenue increases to adequate levels. The Company believes that these reductions have resulted in lower expenses and increased utilization of remaining sales and marketing personnel; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will return to profitability or that there will not be any negative impact as a result of these actions.

     Research and development (R&D). R&D costs consist primarily of compensation and related facilities, software and equipment costs associated with developing, maintaining and enhancing the Company’s products. Historically, the Company has not capitalized any internal R&D costs as the costs incurred during the period between the point in time that technological feasibility is established and that a product is released to the market have been insignificant. R&D costs decreased 56% and 54% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, primarily due to decreased personnel costs. R&D cost as a percentage of total revenue decreased due to substantial cost cutting measures implemented by the Company in 2000 and 2001. The Company’s January 2001 work force reduction resulted in the elimination of approximately 17 R&D positions. The Company expects to realize gross annual savings of approximately $1.3 million as a result of these terminations. A minor work force reduction was also implemented in the second quarter of 2001 resulting in the elimination of two additional R & D positions. The Company believes that these reductions have resulted in lower expenses and increased utilization of remaining R&D personnel; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will return to profitability or that there will not be any negative impact as a result of these actions.

     Work force reduction and other.

     During the first quarter of 2001, the Company announced and completed a work force reduction in line with its objective to streamline operations and improve financial condition. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $169 related to severance costs for approximately 30 employees (1 senior-level staff and 29 non senior-level employees primarily in research and development and services). As of June 30, 2001, approximately $33 remains in accrued liabilities for severance payments in connection with the restructuring.

     During the second quarter of 2001, the Company implemented a minor workforce reduction resulting in the elimination of approximately nine positions throughout the Company. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $24 related to severance costs associated with the terminations. As of June 30, 2001, these costs have been substantially paid.

     During the second quarter of 2000, the Company initiated actions to reduce its work force and undertook cost cutting measures. The Company recorded a restructuring charge related to a work force reduction and other expenses totaling $873 of which $711 was recorded in the second quarter and $162 was recorded in the third quarter. The total restructuring charge includes severance and related costs of $649 (4 senior-level staff and 35 non senior-level employees primarily in sales, services and research and development) and costs of $224 related to office closings. As of June 30, 2001, approximately $241 remains in accrued liabilities including $209 of severance cost. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company’s Chairman has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, and the previous Chief Executive Officer is no longer with the Company. Office closings were completed during the third quarter of 2000.

     The Company believes that these reductions have resulted in lower expenses and increased utilization of its remaining personnel; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will return to profitability as a result of these actions.

     Income taxes.

     As of June 30, 2001, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $13,016 that is fully reserved.

     During the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a charge related to estimated federal and state income tax and interest totaling $359 resulting from an Internal Revenue Service examination of the Company’s 1996 and 1995 federal income tax returns. The amount allocated to tax expense is $209, and $150 was allocated to interest expense. The Internal Revenue Service has rendered an unfavorable assessment resulting in the estimated exposure amount. The Company has appealed this assessment, although there can be no assurances of a successful outcome.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial data regarding the periods indicated, certain financial data regarding the Company’s working capital balances, cash and cash equivalents, cash used in operating activities, cash provided by investing activities and cash provided by financing activities:

                         
    As of
   
    June 30, 2001   Change   December 31, 2000
   
 
 
Working capital
  $ 116       (93 %)   $ 1,625  
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 1,147       (46 %)   $ 2,136  

     Working capital and cash and cash equivalents decreased as of June 30, 2001, compared to December 31, 2000, due to significantly reduced revenues resulting in lower cash and accounts receivable balances and operating losses for the year.

                         
    For the
    Six months ended June 30,
   
    2001   Change   2000
   
 
 
Cash flows used in operating activities
    ($1,088 )     73 %     ($4,010 )
Cash flows provided by investing activities
    99       (55 %)     218  
Cash flows provided by financing activities
          (100 %)     871  

     For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, cash used by operating activities totaled $1,088, due principally to lower than anticipated revenues and resulting losses for the quarter.

(dollars in thousands)

     The Company’s cash provided by investing activities totaled $99 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, principally due to payments received on notes receivable ($114) offset by purchases of fixed assets ($15). The cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, was principally due to the proceeds from a return of the Company’s investment in a third party ($500), offset by purchases of software and fixed assets ($282).

     At June 30, 2001, the Company’s primary source of liquidity consisted of its cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,147 and its short-term accounts receivable balance of $2,063. The Company is currently seeking other sources of debt or equity financing. There can be no assurances that such funds will be available to the Company or, if available, would be on terms satisfactory to the Company.

     As previously disclosed in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC, the Company has been notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has failed to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market. The Company has subsequently been moved to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

     Nasdaq has given the Company until August 15, 2001, to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, in particular the requirement to maintain a minimum net worth of $2 million. If the Company does not comply with the continued listing requirements, the Company’s common stock will likely trade in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board or through the “pink sheets.” In such event and as previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, the Company’s shareholders will find it more difficult to obtain a price quotation for or sell the Company’s common stock. The delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market therefore may have an adverse impact on the market price and liquidity of the Company’s common stock.

     To achieve compliance with such requirement, the Company currently is negotiating with certain investors to purchase up to $1.6 million of the Company’s securities. The terms of such purchase are currently being finalized and there can be no assurances that the company will be able to consummate any such transaction.

     If the Company is not successful in achieving targeted license and service revenues, the Company may be required to take further actions to align its operating expenses with its revenues, such as further reductions in work force or other cost cutting measures. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate cash flows from its license and service fees, as well as the collection of its outstanding accounts receivable, to maintain its current liquidity levels.

     PowerCerv recognized that revenue for the Company was not going to rapidly return to the levels previously achieved. As a result, management has taken steps to streamline operations and improve the financial condition of the Company. These steps include restructuring initiatives that commenced in 2000 as well as strategies and actions already taken or planned for 2001, including workforce reductions that were implemented in the first and second quarters of 2001. Additionally, management has reduced or deferred certain wages for senior executives. Furthermore, management will use best efforts to eliminate costs that have been evaluated as non-critical to the success of the Company’s core strategies.

     If the Company’s existing cash reserves and restructuring decisions prove insufficient to fund its future cash requirements and the Company is not able to obtain other sources of funds, the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy beyond the year 2001 could be materially adversely effected. However, as a result of the Company’s restructuring decisions, the amount of cash used in operations decreased substantially in the first half of 2001 as compared to the previous year. As more fully discussed above, the Company has implemented, or is in the process of initiating, cost cutting measures and other actions that management currently believes will provide adequate working capital for at least twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will return to profitability as a result of these actions nor that further actions will not be necessary in 2001.

About Market Risk

     The Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at June 30, 2001. The Company has no significant exposure to interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate risks. An increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would not significantly impact the Company’s net income. Generally, all of the Company’s business is transacted in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, foreign exchange rate fluctuations should not have a significant impact on the Company.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors
PowerCerv Corporation

     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of PowerCerv Corporation as of June 30, 2001, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six-month periods then ended and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 23, 2001, except for Note 3 as to which the date is April 13, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     A complaint was filed on July 24, 1997, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, entitled J. Conrad Lifsey v. Harold Ross, Gerald Wicker, Marc J. Fratello, Roy E. Crippen, III, Donald B. Hebb, Jr., Thomas S. Roberts, PowerCerv Corporation, Alex Brown & Sons, Inc., Robertson, Stephens & Company, ABS Capital Partners, L.P., Summit Investors III, L.P (collectively the “Defendants”). The complaint purports to be a class action on behalf of those persons who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock from March 1, 1996 (the date of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock (“IPO”)) through July 24, 1996. The complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants violated the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in connection with the Company’s IPO and in its subsequent securities filings, press releases and other public statements. The plaintiffs sought damages of an unspecified amount, rescission of certain securities sales and certain other remedies.

     In January 2001, the district court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss but provided the plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint. Since the date of the hearing, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and the Defendants again filed a Motion to dismiss the amended pleading. In July 2001, the parties to the litigation reached an agreement in principle for settlement of the litigation. Subject to the district court’s final approval, the Defendants in the case (who deny any wrongdoing) are to pay an amount for the creation of a settlement fund in exchange for which the plaintiffs will dismiss the case with prejudice. The entire settlement amount is to be paid by the Company’s insurer. The parties are currently finalizing a memorandum of understanding confirming the parties’ settlement agreement. The district court entered an order on July 12, 2001, dismissing the case without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 3.08(b). Upon submission of the settlement papers to the Court and upon preliminary approval by the Court, the class members will be provided with notice and an opportunity to opt out of the settlement. After the period for opt out lapses, the Court will hold a hearing for final approval of the settlement.

     The Company, in the normal course of business, is also subject to miscellaneous other legal proceedings. The Company is defending these proceedings and anticipates that it will be successful and/or able to resolve these matters in a manner that will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     The Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 1, 2001 (“2001 Annual Meeting”). At the 2001 Annual Meeting, the shareholders voted to elect Marc J. Fratello, Roy E. Crippen, III, O.G. Greene, Robert H. Davies and Shawn Severson as directors of the Company, to hold office until the Company’s 2002 Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified or earlier resignation, removal from office or death. The shareholders also voted to ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent auditor, Grant Thornton LLP, for the year ending December 31, 2001. The shareholders also voted on an amendment to PowerCerv’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a stock combination (reverse stock split).
