Including acquisition-related costs, net income for the first quarter 2002 was $4.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $5.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share last year. The decline in interest rates over the past 12 months continued to impact interest income, which declined by $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with the first quarter a year ago.

The increase in diluted shares outstanding reflects the increase in the number of dilutive ("in the money") options and the exercise of warrants and options.

During the first quarter, Borland's Java business sustained its status as the primary growth engine, increasing its revenues 40% over the first quarter of 2001 and representing 38% of total first quarter 2001 revenues. The company further strengthened its leadership position in the Java development market through agreements with Sprint PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995.

Borland's Enterprise business declined from the first quarter of 2001, generating 20% of 2002 first quarter revenues.

The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  sales and reflects the current state of the economy.

Services revenues were essentially flat compared with a year ago and represented 16% of total first quarter 2002 revenues. Strong technical support and training sales offset weaker consulting revenues, also a reflection of economic conditions.

At the same time, we generated approximately $1.9 million in free cashflow from operations. Borland's balance sheet gives us a strong foundation upon which we can continue to grow this company."
