| Strengthened the management team with the addition of the companys first Chief Technology Officer, as well as key executives in Geac Americas responsible for enterprise sales and the industry specific application divisions. |
I am pleased that Geac has now achieved seven consecutive quarters of profitability, excluding net restructuring and other unusual items. These positive results have been achieved by the Company in what continues to be a challenging market for IT vendors. In addition, we are continuing to execute on our strategy for long-term growth. To this end, we signed license agreements with new customers, many of our businesses experienced lower attrition than expected in maintenance contract renewals, and we continued strengthening our balance sheet, said Paul D. Birch, President and CEO of Geac.
Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2003, was $158.5 million, compared to $179.6 million in the corresponding period in FY 2002. This decline in revenue is primarily due to an expected decline in the renewal of annual maintenance contracts. On a regional basis, the Americas accounted for 51.6% of consolidated revenue for the three-month period ended January 31, 2003, while Europe accounted for 41.5% and Asia 6.9%. The Americas, Europe and Asia accounted for 55.6%, 38.3% and 6.1% of consolidated revenue, respectively, in the corresponding quarter last year.
For the three-month period ended January 31, 2003, net income increased by approximately $6.9 million or 58.0%, to $18.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $11.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
For the three-month period ended January 31, 2003, Geac reduced its cost of revenues by $17.2 million, or 20.3%, to $67.5 million from $84.7 million in the third quarter of FY 2002. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) increased from 52.8% in the third quarter of FY 2002 to 57.4% in the third quarter of FY 2003.
Net operating expenses decreased to $62.6 million in the third quarter of FY 2003, compared to $67.6 million in the corresponding period last year. These cost savings were realized through the continued implementation of Geacs program of managing costs to anticipated revenue.
Income before income taxes was $30.0 million in the third quarter of FY 2003, compared to $25.0 million in the corresponding period last year, an increase of $5.0 million, or 19.6%.

For the nine-month period ended January 31, 2003, revenue was $472.9 million, compared to $542.1 million in the corresponding period last year. Excluding $5.2 million in revenue from the publishing software business, which was sold in the second quarter of FY 2002, revenue would have declined by $64.0 million, or 11.9%. On a regional basis, the Americas accounted for 53.1% of consolidated revenue for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2003, while Europe accounted for 39.7% and Asia 7.2%. The Americas, Europe and Asia accounted for 57.0%, 35.6% and 7.4% of consolidated revenue, respectively, in the corresponding nine-month period last year.
Net income for the first nine months of FY 2003 was $53.2 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $55.2 million, or $0.75 per diluted share in the same period last year.
At January 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents totalled $142.2 million, compared to $115.7 million at April 30, 2002. For the first nine months of FY 2003, the Company experienced positive cash flow of $20.7 million from operating activities, compared to $58.4 million in the corresponding period last year. The $37.7 million decline is primarily attributable to a net $50.1 million reduction (excluding the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the first nine months of the current fiscal year. Of this net $50.1 million reduction, $28.3 million is attributable to payments associated with prior year restructuring charges.
Our focus on managing costs continues to yield positive earnings and cash flow, said Arthur Gitajn, Chief Financial Officer. Excluding the impact of the Extensity acquisition, we expect that our cash balance at the end of FY 2003 will exceed $150 million.
Guidance
Geac affirms its previously announced financial guidance for FY 2003, with some upside potential. This guidance excludes any impact of completion of the Extensity acquisition. The Company also announces that, along with other leading companies, it will discontinue its practice of offering financial guidance effective at the end of the current fiscal year. Our objective is to produce consistent value for shareholders on a long as well as a short-term basis. We believe that financial guidance tends to focus the financial marketplace unduly on short-term results, said Paul Birch.
Acquisitions and Alliance Partnerships
A key component of Geacs plan for revitalized growth is to acquire and to develop new best in class applications that measurably improve the business performance of Geacs existing enterprise applications solutions (EAS) customers, and that will help Geac expand the customer base for its enterprise applications. The products of Extensity, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTN) include several such applications, and Geacs proposed acquisition of Extensity will be voted on tomorrow, March 6, 2003, by the shareholders of Extensity. Implementation of Geacs

integration plan for Extensity will commence upon closing of the transaction and significant components of the plan are expected to be completed by April 30, 2003.
During the quarter, Geac announced a reseller relationship with Information Builders, a US$300 million provider of business intelligence software. Geacs ability to resell this software will improve the reporting and analytical functionality that Geac can offer its EAS customers.
Customer Activity
Some of the new customer contracts announced in the third quarter include:
| A $2.5 million systems integration contract with Tradeteam to extend its Geac software for real-time sales order processing and distribution. | |
| Contracts with The Coleman Company, Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc., Scottish and Southern Energy plc, Lee Memorial Health System and more than a dozen other companies in the US and Europe who have added real-time web access to their Geac financial and HR applications via Geacs Active Client software. | |
| A contract with the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors to deploy Geac MLXchange for web-based sales and marketing applications to its 8,100 realtors. | |
| A $614,000 contract with Heywood Williams Plastics further to deploy Geacs System21 in its three production facilities in the UK. |
In November 2002 Geac hosted its European customers at its inaugural European User Conference specifically for Geacs several hundred enterprise customers that use its E Series, M Series and SmartStream products for corporate financial accounting.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, Geac announced:
| A $1,900,000 contract with the City Council of Auckland, New Zealand to deploy Geacs Pathway PPR product for its local government operations. |
Awards for Technological Innovation
During the third quarter Geac and its customers received the following awards for the design and innovative application of Geac software:
| The Crossroads 2003 A-List, awarded to Geac by Open Systems Advisors, based on the improved business results delivered to customers by Geacs innovative eSite software for property management. | |
| The Society of Manufacturing Engineers awarded International Truck & Engine its 2002 LEAD award for Internationals integrated strategic planning process, based on the use of Geac System21s Advanced Planning System. |

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, using the same accounting policies as outlined in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2002, except as noted below. These interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects with disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2002 in the 2002 Annual Report.
Effective May 1, 2002, the Company adopted retroactively the revised recommendations of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 1650 Foreign Currency Translation (CICA 1650), and accordingly eliminated the deferral and amortization of unrealized translation gains and losses on foreign currency denominated monetary items that have a fixed or ascertainable life extending beyond the period. As a result of the retroactive restatement, other assets decreased by $341, opening deficit increased by $8,260 and cumulative foreign exchange translation adjustment increased by $7,767 as of January 31, 2002. The net income for the nine months ended January 31, 2002 increased by $152. As of April 30, 2002, the retroactive adoption of CICA 1650 resulted in an increase to opening deficit of $8,260, an increase of $7,558 in cumulative foreign exchange translation adjustment and an increase of $702 in net income for the fiscal year 2002.
Effective May 1, 2002, the CICA issued new recommendations for accounting for stock options, which the Company adopted. The Company has elected not to use the fair value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and continues to apply the same policy as in prior years. Hence the new recommendations have had no effect on the balance sheet, nor to the net income of the Company. The Company has presented the required disclosures under the new accounting standard in note 2 to the interim financial statements.
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective May 1, 2002, the Company adopted prospectively the new CICA Handbook Section 3870 Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments (CICA 3870). The Company elected not to adopt the fair value method of accounting for the stock options plan and stock ownership plan, as permitted under CICA 3870.
The Company has a stock option plan and a stock ownership plan (Employee Stock Purchase Plan or ESPP) as described in note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report. On June 20, 2002, the Company issued 600,000 stock options to employees at an exercise price of $4.36. These 600,000 options vest over a period of 3 years. On September 3, 2002, 145,000 stock options were issued to employees at an exercise price of $4.29. These 145,000 options vest over a period of 4 years. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, 100,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $4.24 on December 16, 2002; 300,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $4.35 on January 2, 2003; and 125,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $4.40 on January 13, 2003. All these options vest over a period of 4 years.
The stock options granted to employees during the three quarters of fiscal year 2003 were all granted at a price either the same as or above the market value of the shares at the date of grant. Had the Company recorded compensation expense based on the fair value of the options at the grant date and shares issued under the ESPP, results would have been as follows:

For the purpose of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over their vesting period on a straight-line basis. In accordance with CICA recommendations, the pro forma disclosure excludes the effect of options granted before the adoption of CICA 3870.
The weighted average estimated fair value at the date of grant for employee options granted for the three months ended January 31, 2003 was $3.18 per share (nine months ended January 31, 2003 - $3.08 per share). If the Company had adopted the fair value method, the total amount of compensation expense during the three months ended January 31, 2003 for newly granted stock options would be approximately $136 after tax (nine months ended January 31, 2003 - $270). The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions at the measurement date:
Risk-free interest rate: 4.51% - 5.05%
Expected life: 7 years
Estimated volatility in the market price of the common shares: 76.32%
- 78.95%
Dividend yield: Nil
The weighted average estimated fair value at the issue date for shares issued under the ESPP for the three months ended January 31, 2003 was $1.24 per share (nine months ended January 31, 2003 - $1.30 per share). If the Company had adopted the fair value method, the total amount of compensation expense for shares issued under the ESPP for the three months ended January 31, 2003 would be approximately $14 (nine months ended January 31, 2003 - $48). The fair value of each share issued was estimated on the date of issue using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions at the measurement date:
Risk-free interest rate: 2.41% - 2.79%
Expected life: 3 months
Estimated volatility in the market price of the common shares: 59.46%
- 78.34%
Dividend yield: Nil
CICA 3870 requires additional disclosures of the Companys stock-based compensation plans, which have already been provided in note 13, Share Capital, in the 2002 Annual Report. There are no material updates to these disclosures as at January 31, 2003.
3. SHARE CAPITAL
During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2003, all 5 million purchase warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. As a result of this exercise, share capital increased by $13,750, and $1,750 was reclassified from purchase warrants and recognized as part of the issued share capital.
The number of shares outstanding as of January 31, 2003 was 83,185,338.
4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates the following business segments, which have been segregated, based on product offerings reflecting the way that management organizes the segments within the business for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Enterprise Applications Systems (EAS) offers software solutions, which include cross-industry enterprise business applications for financial administration and human resource functions, and enterprise resource planning applications for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain management.
Industry-Specific Applications (ISA) products include industry-specific business applications for the real estate, hospitality, property management and construction marketplaces, as well as a range of applications for libraries and public safety administration.
There are no significant inter-segment revenues. Segment assets consist of working capital items, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be corporate assets. Property, plant and equipment are typically shared by operating segments and those assets are managed by geographic region, rather than through the operating segments.

5. ACQUISITIONS
The Company entered into a definitive merger agreement, effective August 5, 2002, to acquire certain assets of EBC Informatique, a European hardware and software solutions provider, headquartered in France. These assets included customer contracts, intellectual property rights, trademarks, and property, plant & equipment. The total purchase price was $3,763. The acquired net assets included, at fair value, $49 of property, plant and equipment, $3,709 of acquired software, $319 of current liabilities, $878 of future income tax liabilities, and $1,276 of other liabilities. The difference between the total purchase price and the net fair value of all identified assets and liabilities acquired was $2,478 and was accounted for as goodwill.
On August 26, 2002, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Extensity, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Extensity shareholders can elect to receive US$1.75 in cash or 0.627 of a Geac common share for each share of Extensity common stock held. Both the amount of cash and the number of Geac shares included in the transaction could be adjusted, depending on the level of Extensitys working capital before closing. The total value of the transaction is currently estimated to be approximately US$47,000. The merger is expected to close in early March 2003 and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review.
6. NET RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER UNUSUAL ITEMS
During the nine months ended January 31, 2003, the Company reversed a total of $2,238 of excess accrued liabilities and other provisions related to prior years restructuring activities and acquisition-related accruals. This reflects managements determination that such provisions were no longer required for their originally intended purpose. Of the total reversal, a credit of $1,157 was recorded in net restructuring and other unusual items related to excess accrued liabilities and other provisions recorded prior to the fiscal year 2002, and the remaining balance of acquisition-related provisions of $1,081 was written off as an adjustment to goodwill related to that specific acquisition.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded $14,574 in net restructuring and other unusual items, which comprised of the following:
a) $1,062 was a pre-tax gain on the sale of the Publishing systems business in August 2001 for cash consideration of $1,500. The transaction excluded real estate assets.
b) $17,725 was the result of $21,692 of accrued liabilities and other provisions relating to acquisitions and restructuring recorded in prior years being reversed. The remaining $3,967 of acquisition related liabilities were recorded as a reduction of associated acquisition-related goodwill.
c) $4,213 was a pre-tax provision for premises rationalization.
