ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our executive offices and the principal offices for product development, domestic marketing and sales and
production are located in leased office space in northern California. We also lease office space in various
locations throughout the U.S. for local sales, development and technical support personnel. Our foreign
subsidiaries lease office space for their operations. During fiscal 2002, we closed several domestic and
international offices in an effort to reduce operating expense levels.
We continue to believe that our existing facilities and offices are adequate to meet our requirements for the
foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. In our
opinion, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results
of operations, cash flows or our financial position. However, depending on the amount and timing, an
unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial
position in a particular period.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.
