The lower than expected revenues were attributed to continued scrutiny of capital budgets which resulted in unexpected delays in the larger opportunities that were forecasted to close in the first quarter and smaller than expected initial orders on the transactions that did successfully close.

Software license revenues for the first quarter of 2002 were $1.6 million while revenues from services and maintenance were $2.1 million.

Gross margins decreased during the quarter to 64 percent from 68 percent for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin for the quarter is due to the change in the company's revenue mix, which reflects reduced license sales.

The company used $578,000 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term Short-term
