TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I
Overview
Intervoice, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTV) is a leading provider of
software solutions to automate and personalize access to
information and services. We operate as a single, integrated
business unit that focuses on two primary markets
the enterprise and network provider markets. We offer these
markets flexible, scalable, integrated software platforms,
powerful development and reporting tools, a selection of
customized and packaged software applications, and comprehensive
consulting services and post-sale support. Our enterprise
software solutions and consulting services allow businesses to
lower the cost of their call center operations while enhancing
their customers and employees experience and
building brand loyalty. Our solutions product suite for network
providers, including next generation Internet Protocol
(IP)-based voice messaging, text messaging, voice portal and
payment systems, provides operators with revenue generating
services that meet growing consumer demand for enhanced services
and multi-modal access from anyplace at anytime.
Intervoice is dedicated to providing enterprise self-service
solutions and value added services for the network service
provider industry. Our enterprise customer base is among the
largest in the industry. We have deployed more than 20,000
systems, and our customers include 34 of the Fortune 100. Our
network provider customers include some of the largest providers
of mobile services. We are also an industry leader in the
deployment of standards based systems, with over
37,000 VoiceXML (Voice eXtensible
Mark-up Language) ports
sold through February 2006.
The foundation of our success lies in a strategy that is
influenced by three market trends. First, the contact center is
undergoing a technology and service quality transformation
driven by the adoption of industry standard
IP-based platforms and
applications along with growing demand for personalized
services. Second, network and call processing technologies are
converging into a single
IP-based
infrastructure. Third, demand for quality multi-media services
and applications that are available to users anytime, anywhere
from any device type is experiencing significant growth.
Intervoices strategy is not only guiding our development
of IP-based products,
but it is also guiding our focus on providing more intelligent
customer interactions at all levels. The growing adoption of IP
and open standards facilitates our efforts and provides great
benefits for our customers. We offer a standards-based software
platform with an infrastructure that supports multiple
application types and solutions. This innovative approach
benefits both our enterprise and network provider customers. We
also help network providers accelerate the rate at which they
can bring new offerings to their subscribers through tools that
support third-party development of applications that were
previously created in a proprietary way exclusively by platform
vendors. In addition, we are bringing new levels of quality to
voice and speech self-service through our expert consulting
services group, which is one of the most experienced in the
industry. Our focus on delivering quality solutions with
exceptional usability helps our customers and their callers
accomplish their goals in a pleasing and enjoyable manner.
We offer our solutions as a customer premise sale/license or as
a managed service. Our activities in both the enterprise and
network markets are supported by shared resources in the sales,
operational support, research and development and administrative
areas. Our corporate headquarters is in Dallas, Texas, and we
have sales and/or customer service locations throughout the
world, including offices in Europe, the Middle East, Africa,
South America and Asia. We sell our products through a direct
sales force and through an established network of distributors,
system integrators and channel partners. For the fiscal year
ended February 28, 2006, we reported revenues of
approximately $168.1 million, including $78.1 million
of solution sales, $64.4 million of maintenance and related
service revenues and $25.6 million of managed service
revenues. Sales to North American customers totaled
$92.1 million or 55% of total sales for the year.
Intervoice was founded in 1983, and for more than two decades we
have provided innovative solutions to meet our clients
business needs. Intervoice is committed to delivering
end-to-end solutions
that are compliant
3
with industry standards, are hardware independent, and integrate
seamlessly with other systems and product solutions. We support
standards including VoiceXML and SALT (Speech Application
Language Tags) specifications for voice-enabled web
applications, and J2EE and
Microsofts®.NET
for enterprise software architectures. We also support CCXML
(Call Control eXtensible
Mark-up Language) and
lead the industry in deployed ports for VoiceXML, CCXML and
SALT. We continuously assess evolving industry standards and are
actively involved in industry associations such as the VoiceXML
Forum, the Internet Engineering Task Force and the SALT Forum,
as well as network-focused organizations such as the 3GPP (IMS),
the GSM Association, TMIA, VMA and AVIOS.
Intervoice also delivers unique value through the integration of
industry standard hardware and software provided by our numerous
alliance partners. These strategic relationships are an integral
part of our product strategy and allow us to create voice
automation solutions tailored to meet each customers
specific business needs. We have forged alliances with leading
technology companies, including Intel, HP, BEA, Nuance and
Microsoft.
The Acquisition and Merger of Edify Corporation
In December 2005, we completed the acquisition of Edify
Corporation (Edify), a former competitor in the
enterprise market. While Edify was smaller in revenues and
personnel than Intervoice, Edify possessed a diverse customer
base and marketing strengths that, when added to the
capabilities of Intervoice, allow the combined company to
enhance its position of leadership in the enterprise voice
self-service market. The acquisition was structurally a merger,
with key individuals from Edify taking leadership roles, and the
vast majority of personnel being retained in both companies to
form the new larger entity.
Products and Services
Intervoice is a leader in providing converged voice and data
solutions and related services. We sell solutions that allow
customers to access account data or order services from a
company at a time they find convenient, using a communication
device they find convenient (e.g. phone, computer, PDA, etc.)
and without the need to wait for an available company
representative or agent. We also sell solutions that support the
use of prepaid phone services and various advanced phone
messaging activities. When we use the term solutions
sales in this Annual Report, we mean the sale of hardware
and/or software applications and the related consulting services
associated with designing, developing, integrating, installing
and testing custom applications to perform these functions. When
we use the term recurring services, we mean the sale
of maintenance and software upgrade offerings and the provision
of customized solutions to customers on a managed service basis.

The Intervoice Solutions Framework |
In late fiscal 2006, Intervoice created a
go-to-market framework
designed to simplify and illustrate the commonality of our
products and services across our two addressed markets. This
framework, called the Intervoice Solutions Framework (ISF),
divides all Intervoice offerings into Platforms and Tools,
Applications, and Services, all of which are centered around a
core software element called Home Zone. Home Zone which includes
patent-pending technology, is currently incorporated in our
software platform allowing callers easy, single-session
management of service selections and personal profiles to obtain
a customized communications experience. Home Zone enables
applications on the platform to take full advantage of all
platform features and capabilities and provides carriers a
services management capability which enhances the provisioning,
administration and billing of mobile applications. The ISF
Platform is an IP-based
software platform that bridges the gap between TDM and IP
networks. It supports our own W3C compliant VXML and CCXML
browsers as well as our new development environment called
Studio. The ISF fully accommodates a converged network and at
the same time provides access to software components and
services that can be implemented and shared among discrete
business functions.

Intervoice Interactive Voice Response |
Intervoice is a recognized market leader in the creation and
deployment of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions
for businesses. Our IVR solutions allow organizations of all
types to automate their communications, reduce costs and improve
interactions with customers, employees and business partners.
Our solutions provide callers with access to information when,
where, and how they want to receive it using speech-enabled and
touch-tone interfaces that have been designed and optimized for
usability in other words, designed with the
callers needs in mind. As speech recognition and
text-to-speech
technologies gain acceptance as natural user interfaces, our
solutions allow for the automation of interactions previously
seen as too complex for a traditional touch-tone interface.
Businesses use our solutions to streamline access to account
information, allow for secured access to sensitive information
through voice verification, change or correct name and address
information, and support workforce management activities.
Enterprise-wide applications also enable customers to order
products, activate accounts, pay bills, enroll for college
courses, apply for jobs, execute securities trades, re-charge
prepaid accounts and many other increasingly complex
interactions. All of these applications can be designed to give
our customers the ability to offer their callers easy access to
information and an exceptional user experience.

Markets
We provide the platform, software and services necessary to
create and support interactive speech enabled technology
solutions for customers in the enterprise and network operator
markets.
The enterprise market is characterized by an ongoing drive to
improve customer service, satisfaction and loyalty while
controlling the cost of communications. Automated communications
are increasingly the norm, with consumers beginning to show a
marked preference for well-designed self-service solutions.
Organizations in a wide range of industries are responding by
deploying converged speech and data technologies. Intervoice
technologies continue to evolve to meet the needs of the
enterprise marketplace.
Network operators seek innovative services that generate
immediate subscriber uptake and accelerated ROI while
controlling capital and operational expenditures. Network
operators view voicemail, text messaging, multimedia messaging,
information portals, voice activated dialing, personal alerts
and other enhanced services as clear opportunities to increase
subscriber counts, loyalty and usage. Intervoice network
solutions are designed to support both wireline and wireless
network operator needs for rapid, lower-risk ROI that extends
the useful life of existing network infrastructure.
Competition
The markets we serve are fragmented and highly competitive. The
principal competitive factors in our markets include breadth and
depth of solution, product features, product scalability,
consulting services, maintenance services, the ability to
implement solutions, and the creation of a referenceable
customer base. Our major competitors in our enterprise market
are Nortel, Genesys, a division of Alcatel, and Avaya. All three
of these companies are larger companies than Intervoice and
focus on a larger product portfolio. In addition, with respect
to the provision of consulting services, we also compete with
Nuance Communications, our supplier of advanced speech
recognition and
text-to-speech
licenses. Each of these competitors offers compelling value
propositions to the marketplace, but they do not provide all
elements needed for complete enterprise self-service solutions
without the aid of partners. We believe that our long history
and unmatched product line of speech-enabled solutions, combined
with our consulting services and our extensive customer base,
allow us to compete favorably in this market. The market is
evolving rapidly, however, and we anticipate intensified
competition not only from traditional vendors but also from
emerging vendors with non-traditional technologies and
solutions. There also continue to be small venture-funded
companies that attempt to build success from the exploitation of
the installed base of larger companies like Intervoice.
8
Competition in our enhanced network services market ranges from
large telecommunication suppliers offering turnkey,
multi-application solutions to niche companies that
specialize in a particular enhanced service such as prepaid,
voicemail or voice services such as voice activated dialing. Our
primary competitors in this market are suppliers such as
Comverse Technology, Lucent Technologies and Unisys that provide
a suite of enhanced services. Other companies that compete with
us in various niche geographic and/or product markets include
TellMe, Openwave, Tecnomen, Glenayre and LogicaCMG.
We believe that with our current suite of integrated and
interoperable payment, messaging and portal services,
IP-based platform, our
flexible business models, and our consulting service offerings,
we compare favorably with our competition. Nevertheless, we
anticipate that competition will continue from existing and new
competitors, some of which have greater financial, technological
and marketing resources and greater market share than we have.
Sales and Marketing
We market our products directly, with a global sales force, and
through more than 80 domestic and international distributors. We
enter into arrangements with distributors to broaden
distribution channels, to increase our sales penetration in
specific markets and industries and to provide certain customer
services. We select distributors based on their access to the
markets, industries and customers that are candidates for
Intervoice products. Our direct sales force consists of
approximately 85 sales directors and representatives worldwide.
During fiscal 2006, 63% of our solutions sales was attributable
to direct sales to end-users and 37% came from sales to
distributors.
Our major domestic distributors include DDV, EDS, Fiserv
(multiple business units), Nextira One, Black Box, Siemens
Business Communications, Symitar Systems, Verizon and Vexis. Our
major international distributors include Ericsson (Worldwide),
Information Technologies Australia (Australia), ITApps (China),
IVRS (Hong Kong, China), Loxbit (Thailand), NextCom K.K.
(Japan), Black Box (Canada), OLTP (Venezuela and the
Caribbean), Promotora Kranon (Mexico), Siemens AG (Worldwide),
Switch (Chile), Tatung (Taiwan), Telia Promotor (Sweden), Voice
Outsourcing (Latin America and the Caribbean) and Wittel
(Brazil).
Intervoice subsidiaries maintain offices in the U.K., Germany,
Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, and
South Africa to support sales throughout Europe, the Middle East
and Africa. A company office located in Singapore supports sales
in the Pacific Rim. We support Latin American sales from our
Dallas headquarters and through a regional office in Brazil.
Our international revenues were 45% of total revenues in 2006
and 41% of total revenues in fiscal 2005 and 2004. See Risk
Points under Item 1A for a discussion of risks attendant to
our international operations.
See Sales in Item 7 Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for additional information on sales by product line
and geographic area and concentration of revenue.
Strategic Alliances
Intervoice continues to build strategic relationships with
leading companies in key industries. We have established
relationships with software and technology solution companies,
system integration companies and niche market players. These
alliances enhance our value proposition as delivered through our
product line, strengthen our ability to deliver
end-to-end solutions,
and extend our market reach.
In fiscal 2006, we expanded our relationship with BEA Systems,
forming a sales and marketing alliance, where Intervoice expects
to provide services in cooperation with BEA to their customers,
bringing the voice channel to web-based self service. We also
expanded our relationship with Intel, now reselling both
telephony cards and HMP (host-managed processing) software for
routing calls in voice platforms. We continue to collaborate
with Microsoft in a joint technology and marketing alliance to
help make speech recognition solutions mainstream with the
implementation of SALT standards-based solutions along with the
Microsoft Speech Server products.
9
We continue to work closely with leaders of the speech
technology industry. We work with Nuance to develop and bring to
market speech recognition and
text-to-speech
solutions, and we leverage Nuance speech software in our
solutions to give people access to information and services
anywhere, anytime.
Backlog
Our solutions backlog at February 28/29, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
which does not include the contracted value of future
maintenance and managed services to be recognized, was
approximately $34 million, $35 million, and
$32 million, respectively. We generally expect all existing
backlog to be delivered within fiscal 2007. Some of our sales
are completed in the same fiscal quarter as ordered. Thus, our
backlog at any particular date may not be indicative of actual
sales for any future period.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were approximately
$18 million, $16 million and $15 million during
fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and included the
design of new products and the enhancement of existing products.
Our research and development spending is focused in five key
areas. First, we are developing software tools to aid in the
development and deployment of customer applications
incorporating speech recognition,
text-to-speech, and
other rich media technologies for enterprises and wireless and
wireline providers. Next, we are developing server-based
application software platforms for operations and management of
contact center, speech and call completion applications. These
software platforms are branded under the name Media Exchange. We
will use these software platforms for deployment and management
of enterprise, wireless and wireline network operator
applications which are designed to operate in both J2EE and
Microsofts®.NET
enterprise computing environments. Third, we are developing
media servers, voice browsers, and call processing
infrastructure based on open standards such as VoiceXML, CCXML
and SALT. These media servers are VoIP enabled, allowing
operation in soft-switch and hybrid PSTN and VoIP networks.
Fourth, we are developing packaged, speech enabled applications
for the network operator and enterprise markets. These include a
range of vertical and horizontal applications that are designed
to greatly enhance customer
return-on-investment by
providing many commonly used, configurable functions that can be
deployed more quickly than can custom applications. Finally, we
are developing modular productivity and communications
applications for wireless and wireline applications including
speech driven voice mail, voice activated dialing, and enhanced
personal information management. The network products are also
branded under the product name Media Exchange.
We expect to maintain a strong commitment to research and
development so that we can remain at the forefront of technology
development in our markets.
Proprietary Rights
We believe our existing patent, copyright, license and other
proprietary rights in our products and technologies are material
to the conduct of our business. To protect these proprietary
rights, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade
secret, copyright and other proprietary rights laws,
nondisclosure safeguards and license agreements. As of
February 28, 2006, we owned 80 patents, 5 of which
were acquired in the acquisition of Edify Corporation, and had
34 pending applications for patents in the United States.
In addition, we have registered Intervoice as a
trademark in the United States, along with 259 other registered
trademarks and service marks. Some of our patents and marks are
also registered in certain foreign countries. We also have 7
registered copyrights. Our software and other products are
generally licensed to a customer under the terms of a
nontransferable license agreement that restricts the use of the
software and other products to the customers internal
purposes. Although our license agreements prohibit a customer
from disclosing proprietary information contained in our
products to any other person, it is technologically possible for
our competitors to copy aspects of our products in violation of
our rights. Furthermore, even in cases where we hold patents,
the detection and policing of the unauthorized use of the
patented technology is difficult. Moreover, judicial enforcement
of copyrights may be uncertain, particularly in foreign
countries. The
10
unauthorized use of our proprietary information by our
competitors could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.
We provide our customers a qualified indemnity against the
infringement of third party intellectual property rights. From
time to time, various owners of patents and copyrighted works
send us or our customers letters alleging that our products do
or might infringe upon the owners intellectual property
rights, and/or suggesting that we or our customers should
negotiate a license or cross-license agreement with the owner.
Our policy is to never knowingly infringe upon any third
partys intellectual property rights. Accordingly, we
forward any such allegation or licensing request to our outside
legal counsel for their review and opinion. We generally attempt
to resolve any such matter by informing the owner of our
position concerning non-infringement or invalidity, and/or, if
appropriate, negotiating a license or cross-license agreement.
Even though we attempt to resolve these matters without
litigation, it is always possible that the owner of a patent or
copyrighted work will sue us. Although no such litigation is
currently pending against us, owners of patents and/or
copyrighted works have previously sued us alleging infringement
of their intellectual property rights. As noted above, we
currently have a portfolio of 80 patents, and we have applied
for and will continue to apply for and receive a number of
additional patents to protect our technological innovations. We
believe our patent portfolio could allow us to assert
counterclaims for infringement against certain owners of
intellectual property rights if those owners were to sue us for
infringement. In certain situations, it might be beneficial for
us to cross-license certain of our patents for other patents
which are relevant to the call automation industry. See
Item 3. Legal Proceedings for a discussion of
certain patent matters. See Risk Factors in Item 1A for a
discussion of risks associated with claims of intellectual
property infringement.
Manufacturing and Facilities
Our manufacturing operations consist primarily of the final
assembly, integration and extensive testing of subassemblies,
host computer platforms, operating software and our run time
software. We currently use third parties to perform printed
circuit board assembly, sheet metal fabrication and
customer-site service and repair. Although we generally use
standard parts and components for our products, some of our
components, including semi-conductors and, in particular,
digital signal processors manufactured by Texas Instruments, are
available only from a small number of vendors. Likewise, we
license speech recognition technology from a small number of
vendors. As we continue to migrate to open, standards-based
systems, we will become increasingly dependent on our component
suppliers and software vendors. To date, we have been able to
obtain adequate supplies of needed components and licenses in a
timely manner, and we expect to continue to be able to do so.
Nevertheless, if our significant vendors are unable to supply
components or licenses at current levels, we may not be able to
obtain these items from another source or at historical prices.
In such situations, we would be unable to provide products and
services to our customers or generate historical operating
margins, and our business and operating results would suffer.
Employees
As of April 25, 2006, we had 814 employees.

Item 1A. Risk
Factors
This report on
Form 10-K includes
forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All
statements other than statements of historical facts included in
this Form 10-K,
including, without limitation, statements contained
11
in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements located elsewhere in
this report regarding our financial position, business strategy,
plans and objectives of management for future operations, future
sales, and industry conditions, are forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In
addition to important factors described elsewhere in this
report, we caution current and potential investors that the
following important risk factors, among others, sometimes have
affected, and in the future could affect, our actual results and
could cause such results during fiscal 2007 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of Intervoice:
|
|
|
|
|
We are prone to quarterly sales fluctuations. The sales
value of an individual order for our solutions and services can
range from a few thousand dollars to several million dollars
depending on the complexity of our customers business need
and the size of its operations. The quantity and size of large
sales (sales valued at approximately $2.0 million or more)
during any quarter can cause wide variations in our quarterly
sales and earnings, as such sales are often unevenly distributed
throughout the fiscal year. In addition, some of our sales
transactions are completed in the same fiscal quarter as
ordered. Our accuracy in estimating future sales is largely
dependent on our ability to successfully qualify, estimate and
close solution sales from our pipeline of sales opportunities
during a quarter. No matter how promising a pipeline opportunity
may appear, there is no assurance it will ever result in a sale.
The accuracy of our estimate of future sales is also dependent
on our ability to accurately estimate the amount of revenue to
be contributed from beginning backlog and revenue from cash
basis customers during any fiscal quarter. This estimate can be
affected by factors outside our control, including changes in
project timing requested by our customers. Accordingly, our
actual sales for any fiscal reporting period may be
significantly different than any estimate of sales we make for
such period. See the discussion entitled Sales in Item 7 of
Part II for a discussion of our system for estimating sales
and tracking sales trends in our business. |

We are subject to potential and pending lawsuits and other
claims. We are subject to certain potential and pending
lawsuits and other claims discussed in Item 3 Legal
Proceedings of Part I of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Furthermore, we may become subject to claims, including claims
by the government, or other adverse consequences arising from
the findings of the Audit Committee investigation and related
SEC inquiries discussed in Item 3. We, and certain of our
current and former officers and non-officer employees are
currently responding to or have responded to SEC subpoenas to
produce documents and provide testimony about the transactions
that were the subject of the investigation. Any adverse
judgment, penalty or settlement related to any lawsuit or other
such claim could have consequences that would be material to our
financial position or results of operations. We may be required
to indemnify certain of our current and former directors and
officers under existing arrangements in connection with the
shareholders derivative suit in addition to the
indemnification we are currently providing to certain
individuals in connection with the class action lawsuit and the
SEC investigation. Our insurance policies provide coverage for
losses and expenses incurred by us and our current and former
directors and officers in connection with claims made under the
federal securities laws. These policies, however, exclude losses
and expenses related to the Barrie class action lawsuit
discussed in Item 3 or to other litigation based on claims
that are substantially the same as the claims in the Barrie
class action and contain other customary provisions to limit or
exclude coverage for certain losses and expenses. |

We may not be successful in integrating the operations and
products and retaining the customers of Edify, and this could
negatively impact our business. We believe we will be able
to achieve certain cost savings and other synergies as a result
of combining Intervoice and Edify, but there can be no assurance
that such synergies will be realized. Our future success will
depend in part upon our ability to integrate and operate Edify
successfully with our business. Any inability to integrate the
products of Intervoice and Edify while maintaining or increasing
the market share that such products had prior to the merger
could decrease the revenues historically generated from these
products. Customers of Intervoice and Edify may delay their
purchase of products or services from one or both companies to |
12
|
|
|
|
|
consider any potential implications the acquisition may have for
products and services offered by either company. In addition,
the integration process will require the dedication of
management resources, which may temporarily distract attention
from our day-to-day
business. Our future success will also depend in part on our
ability to retain and assimilate certain key employees of Edify.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to efficiently
integrate and operate Edify and its products with our business,
maintain business relationships with Edifys customers and
retain and assimilate key employees of Edify. Failure to do so
could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations or our financial condition. Further, Edify provides
products and services which are similar to our products and
services and, accordingly, our Edify operations are generally
subject to most of the other risk factors discussed in this
Item 1A. |
|
|
|
We face intense competition based on product capabilities,
and we experience ever increasing demands from our actual and
prospective customers for our products to be compatible with a
variety of rapidly proliferating computing, telephony and
computer networking technologies and standards. Our success
is dependent, to a large degree, on our effectiveness in
allocating resources to developing and improving products
compatible with those technologies, standards and
functionalities that ultimately become widely accepted by our
current and prospective customers. Our success is also
dependent, to a large degree, on our ability to implement
arrangements with vendors of complementary product offerings so
that we can provide our current and prospective customers
greater functionality. Our principal competitors include
Genesys, Avaya, Nortel, Nuance Communications, Comverse
Technology, Unisys and Lucent Technologies. Many of our
competitors have greater financial, technological and marketing
resources than we have, as well as greater name recognition.
Although we have committed substantial resources to enhance our
existing products and to develop and market new products, there
is no assurance we will be successful. In addition, it is
possible that new entrants to the market and strategic
acquisitions and partnerships between existing companies could
increase the competition in the markets in which we participate.
An increase in such competition could materially adversely
affect our ability to sell our products thereby adversely
affecting our business, operating results and financial
condition. |
|
|
|
We may not be successful in transitioning our products and
services to an open, standards-based business model.
Intervoice has historically provided complete, bundled hardware
and software solutions using internally developed components to
address our customers total business needs. Increasingly,
the markets for our products are requiring a shift to the
development of products and services based on an open,
standards-based architecture such as the J2EE and
Microsofts®.NET
environments utilizing VoiceXML and/or SALT standards. Such an
open, standards-based approach allows customers to independently
purchase and combine hardware components, standardized software
modules, and customization, installation and integration
services from individual vendors deemed to offer the best value
in the particular class of product or service. In such an
environment, we believe we may sell less hardware and fewer
bundled systems and may become increasingly dependent on our
development and sale of software application packages,
customized software and consulting and integration services.
This shift will place new challenges on us to transition our
products and to hire and retain the mix of personnel necessary
to respond to this business environment, to adapt to the
changing expense structure that the new environment may tend to
foster, and to increase sales of services, customized software
and application packages to offset reduced sales of hardware and
bundled solutions. Failure to develop, enhance, acquire and
introduce new products to respond to changing market conditions
or customer requirements, or lack of customer acceptance of our
products will materially adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition. |
|
|
|
We may not be able to retain our customer base, and, in
particular, our more significant customers. Our success is
heavily dependent on our ability to retain our significant
customers, including those of Edify. The loss of one of our
significant customers could negatively impact our operating
results. Our installed base of customers generally is not
contractually obligated to place further solutions orders with
us or to extend their services contracts with us at the
expiration of their current contracts. |
13
|
|
|
|
|
We will be harmed if we lose key business and technical
personnel. We rely upon the services of a relatively small
number of key technical, project management and senior
management personnel, most of whom do not have employment
contracts. If we were to lose any of our key personnel,
replacing them could be difficult and costly. If we were unable
to successfully and promptly replace such personnel, our
business could be materially harmed. |
|
|
|
Our reliance on significant vendor relationships could result
in significant expense or an inability to serve our customers if
we lose these relationships. Although we generally use
standard parts and components in our products, some of our
components, including semi-conductors and, in particular,
digital signal processors manufactured by Texas Instruments, are
available only from a small number of vendors. Likewise, we
license speech recognition technology from a small number of
vendors. Two of these vendors, ScanSoft, Inc. and Nuance
Communications, Inc., recently completed a merger of their
organizations and now the combined company has a dominant market
position. As we continue to migrate to open, standards-based
systems, we will become increasingly dependent on our component
suppliers and software vendors. To date, we have been able to
obtain adequate supplies of needed components and licenses in a
timely manner, and we expect to continue to be able to do so.
Nevertheless, if our significant vendors are unable to supply
components or licenses at current levels, we may not be able to
obtain these items from another source or at historical prices.
In such instances, we would be unable to provide products and
services to our customers or generate historical operating
margins, and our business and operating results would suffer. |
|
|
|
If third parties assert claims that our products or services
infringe on their technology and related intellectual property
rights, whether the claims are made directly against us or
against our customers, we could incur substantial costs in
connection with these claims. We believe software and
technology companies, including Intervoice and others in our
industry, increasingly may become subject to infringement
claims. Such claims may require us to enter into costly license
agreements or result in even more costly litigation. To the
extent a licensing arrangement is required, the arrangement may
not be available at all, or, if available, may be very expensive
or even prohibitively expensive. As with any legal proceeding,
there is no guarantee we will prevail in any litigation
instituted against us asserting infringement of intellectual
property rights. To the extent we suffer an adverse judgment, we
might have to pay substantial damages, discontinue the use and
sale of infringing products, repurchase infringing products from
our customers in accordance with indemnity obligations, expend
significant resources to acquire non-infringing alternatives,
and/or obtain licenses to the intellectual property that has
been infringed upon. As with licensing arrangements,
non-infringing substitute technologies may not be available and,
if available, may be very expensive, or even prohibitively
expensive, to implement. Accordingly, for all of the foregoing
reasons, a claim of infringement could ultimately have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. |
|
|
|
We are exposed to risks related to our international
operations that could increase our costs and hurt our
business. Our products are currently sold in more than 75
countries. Our international sales were 45% of total sales for
the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 and 41% of total
sales for fiscal years 2005 and 2004, respectively.
International sales, personnel and property are subject to
certain risks, including: |
|
|
|
|
|
terrorism; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
the difficulty and expense of maintaining foreign offices and
distribution channels; |
|
|
|
tariffs and other barriers to trade; |
|
|
|
greater difficulty in protecting and enforcing intellectual
property rights; |
|
|
|
general economic and political conditions in each country; |
|
|
|
loss of revenue, property and equipment from expropriation; |
14
|
|
|
|
|
import and export licensing requirements; and |
|
|
|
additional expenses and risks inherent in conducting operations
in geographically distant locations, including risks arising
from differences in language and cultural approaches to the
conduct of business. |
|
|
|
|
|
Our inability to meet contracted performance targets could
subject us to significant penalties. Many of our contracts,
particularly for managed services, foreign contracts and
contracts with telecommunication companies, include provisions
for the assessment of damages for delayed project completion
and/or for our failure to achieve certain minimum service
levels. We have had to pay damages in the past and may have to
pay additional damages in the future. Any such future damages
could be significant. |
|
|
|
Increasing consolidation in the telecommunications and
financial industries could adversely affect our revenues and
profitability. The majority of our largest customers are in
the telecommunications and financial industries. These
industries are undergoing significant consolidation as a result
of merger and acquisition activity. This activity could result
in a decrease in the number of customers purchasing our products
and/or in delayed purchases of our products by customers that
are reviewing their strategic alternatives in light of a pending
merger or acquisition. If these results occur, our revenues and
profitability could decline. |
|
|
|
Our products are complex, and software defects could reduce
our revenues and expose us to litigation. The software
products we offer are complex and may contain errors or defects,
even after extensive testing and quality control, particularly
in early versions. Furthermore, because our products
increasingly are designed around an open, standards based
architecture incorporating elements developed by third parties,
such errors or defects may be outside of our direct ability to
control or correct. Any defects or errors could potentially
result in loss of revenues, product returns or order
cancellations, and could potentially hinder market acceptance of
our products and harm our reputation. Accordingly, any defects
or errors could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Our customer
license agreements typically contain provisions to limit our
product warranty obligations and exposure to potential liability
claims. |
|
|
|
We are implementing a new company-wide ERP system during
fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2007, we expect to complete the
implementation of a new, company-wide ERP system. Our new system
will affect all facets of our business including our ability to
quote, receive and process orders, track inventory and work in
process, ship and bill completed orders, process and apply cash
receipts from our customers and summarize and report the results
of our operations. If we encounter problems in the
implementation of our new system, our ability to conduct our
daily operations in an efficient, effective and properly
controlled manner could be compromised, and our operating
results could suffer. In addition, any such implementation
problems could cause us to expend significant time and other
resources in an effort to resolve such problems, and this
diversion of management and staff time could further adversely
affect our ability to serve our customers and sustain our normal
operations. |

Intellectual Property Matters
From time to time Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing L.P.
(RAKTL) has sent letters to certain of our customers
suggesting that the customer should negotiate a license
agreement to cover the practice of certain patents owned by
RAKTL. In the letters, RAKTL has alleged that certain of its
patents pertain to certain enhanced services offered by network
providers, including prepaid card and wireless services and
postpaid card services. RAKTL has further alleged that certain
of its patents pertain to certain call processing applications,
including applications for call centers that route calls using a
called partys DNIS identification number. As a result of
the correspondence, many of Intervoices customers have had
discussions, or are in discussions, with RAKTL.
We offer certain products that can be programmed and configured
to provide enhanced services to network providers and call
processing applications for call centers. Our contracts with
customers usually include a qualified obligation to indemnify
and defend customers against claims that products as delivered
by Intervoice infringe a third partys patent. None of our
customers has notified us that RAKTL has claimed that any
product provided by us infringes any claims of any RAKTL patent.
Accordingly, we have not been required to defend any customers
against a claim of infringement under a RAKTL patent. We have,
however, received letters from customers notifying us of the
efforts by RAKTL to license its patent portfolio and reminding
us of our potential obligations under the indemnification
provisions of our agreements in the event that a claim is
asserted. In response to correspondence from RAKTL, a few
customers have attempted to tender to us the defense of our
products under contractual indemnity provisions. We have
informed these customers that while we fully intend to honor any
contractual indemnity provisions, we do not believe we currently
have any obligation to provide such a defense because RAKTL does
not appear to have made a claim that an Intervoice product
infringes a patent. Some of these customers have disagreed with
us and believe that the correspondence from RAKTL can be
construed as claims against Intervoice products.
Some of our customers have licensed certain rights under the
RAKTL patent portfolio. Two such customers who had previously
attempted to tender the defense of their products to us informed
us that they had entered into agreements to license certain
rights under the RAKTL patents and demanded we indemnify them
for unspecified amounts, including attorneys fees, paid in
connection with the license agreements. We notified these
customers that we believe we do not have any indemnity
obligation in connection with the license agreements. We have
received no further response from either customer.
A customer of ours is one of several companies sued on
July 19, 2005 by RAKTL in the case of Ronald A. Katz
Technology Licensing, L.P. v. Citibank, et al.;
No. 505CV 142, pending in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. The
customer has not asserted that we are obligated to indemnify and
defend the customer in the lawsuit, but the customer has
notified us under the indemnity paragraph of their sales
agreement with us that the lawsuit could potentially impact one
or more of their agreements with us. A customer of our recently
acquired subsidiary, Edify, is also a defendant in the lawsuit
and has asserted that Edify is obligated to indemnify the
customer under the indemnity paragraph of
16
its sales agreement. Edify told the customer that it does not
believe it has an obligation to indemnify the customer in
connection with the lawsuit.
Even though no claims have been made that a specific product
offered by Intervoice infringes any claim under the RAKTL patent
portfolio, we have received opinions from our outside patent
counsel that certain products and applications we offer do not
infringe certain claims of the RAKTL patents. We have also
received opinions from our outside counsel that certain claims
under the RAKTL patent portfolio are invalid or unenforceable.
Furthermore, based on the reviews by outside counsel, we are not
aware of any valid and enforceable claims under the RAKTL
portfolio that are infringed by our products. If we do become
involved in litigation in connection with the RAKTL patent
portfolio, under a contractual indemnity or any other legal
theory, we intend to vigorously contest the claims and to assert
appropriate defenses.
We have received letters from Webley Systems
(Webley), a division of Parus Holdings, Inc.
(Parus), and its counsel alleging that certain
Webley patents cover one or more of our products and services.
In the letters, Parus offers a license to the Webley patents. As
a result of the correspondence, we conducted discussions with
Parus. Based on reviews by our outside counsel, we are not aware
of any valid and enforceable claims under the Webley patents
that are infringed by our products or services.
Pending Litigation
David Barrie, et al., on Behalf of Themselves and All
Others Similarly Situated v. InterVoice-Brite, Inc.,
et al.; No. 3-01CV1071-D, pending in the United
States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division:
Several related class action lawsuits were filed in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Texas on
behalf of purchasers of common stock of Intervoice during the
period from October 12, 1999 through June 6, 2000 (the
Class Period). Plaintiffs have filed claims,
which were consolidated into one proceeding, under
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 10b-5 against
us as well as certain named current and former officers and
directors of Intervoice on behalf of the alleged class members.
In the complaint, Plaintiffs claim that we and the named current
and former officers and directors issued false and misleading
statements during the Class Period concerning the financial
condition of Intervoice, the results of the merger with Brite
Voice Systems, Inc. and the alleged future business projections
of Intervoice. Plaintiffs have asserted that these alleged
statements resulted in artificially inflated stock prices.
We requested that the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas dismiss the complaint in its entirety
because the complaint lacked the degree of specificity and
factual support to meet the pleading standards applicable to
federal securities litigation. On August 8, 2002, the Court
entered an order granting our motion to dismiss the class action
lawsuit. In the order dismissing the lawsuit, the Court granted
Plaintiffs an opportunity to reinstate the lawsuit by filing an
amended complaint.
Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which the Court dismissed
on September 15, 2003. Plaintiffs appealed the District
Court decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On
January 12, 2005, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued
an opinion in which it affirmed, in part, the District
Courts order of dismissal. The Court of Appeals
opinion also reversed a limited number of issues in the District
Courts proceedings. On February 25, 2005, Intervoice
filed a motion for rehearing with the Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals requesting the Court to modify its opinion. On
May 12, 2005, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied our
petition for rehearing but modified its opinion to clarify the
Courts decision. The case has been remanded to the
District Court for further proceedings consistent with the Fifth
Circuits opinion. We believe that we and our officers and
directors complied with the securities laws and will continue to
vigorously defend the portions of the case that have been
remanded to the District Court.
Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on
February 3, 2006 and we filed an opposition to
Plaintiffs motion on March 20, 2006. Plaintiffs filed
a reply in further support of their motion for class
certification on April 10, 2006 and we petitioned the Court
for a hearing on the motion. Both parties are also in the
process of producing documents in response to requests for
discovery.

Daniel Wardiman, derivatively on behalf of Nominal Defendant,
Intervoice-Brite, Inc. v. Daniel D. Hammond et. al.,
pending in federal district court in Dallas, Texas (case no.
3-05CV2114-N):
One of our shareholders filed a shareholder derivative suit
against certain current and former directors and officers on
October 27, 2005. The suit alleges that these individuals
breached their fiduciary duties to Intervoice during the fiscal
year ended February 29, 2000 and during the first quarter
of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2001. The alleged
conduct is largely the same conduct that is the subject of the
Barrie class action lawsuit discussed above. The
shareholder filed the derivative suit after sending a letter,
previously disclosed by us, demanding that Intervoice file suit
against the defendants. We and the individual defendants believe
there are meritorious defenses to this suit.
We and defendants filed a motion on January 17, 2006 to
dismiss the suit because we believe the case is barred under the
applicable statutes of limitations. Plaintiff filed an
opposition to our motion on February 3, 2006, and we and
defendants filed a reply in support of our motion to dismiss on
February 27, 2006. The parties are currently awaiting a
ruling on the motion by the Court.
Audit Committee Investigation
During fiscal 2005, our Audit Committee conducted an
investigation of certain transactions that occurred during our
fiscal years 2000 through 2002. The Audit Committee was assisted
in its investigation by separate independent legal counsel and a
national accounting firm. The Audit Committee reported the
results of its investigation to the SEC, and we are cooperating
with the SEC as it makes its own inquiries regarding the
transactions. We are currently providing documents to the SEC in
response to a subpoena requesting information about the
transactions, and several of our current and former officers and
non-officer employees have provided or are scheduled to provide
testimony to the SEC. Our Audit Committee and its counsel are
continuing to monitor our response to the SEC, and they also
have conducted a review of certain documents provided to the SEC
which we located after the Committees original
investigation. Intervoice is also honoring our obligation to
indemnify certain current and former officers and other
employees of Intervoice, including our Chief Executive Officer
and two other executive officers, who received subpoenas to
produce documents and provide testimony to the SEC in connection
with the investigation. Furthermore, we are honoring our
obligation to reimburse legal fees incurred by certain
recipients of the subpoenas.
The Audit Committee investigation found that we accounted for
certain transactions incorrectly during our fiscal years 2000
through 2002. The Audit Committee investigation concluded that a
$0.9 million payment made by Intervoice to a publicly held
supplier purportedly for certain prepaid licenses was linked to
an agreement to amend a 1997 warrant issued to us by the
supplier to permit our cashless exercise of the warrant. As a
result, we believe the $0.9 million payment should have
been recorded as a reduction in the $21.4 million gain we
recognized on the sale of the shares underlying the warrant
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and should not have
been recorded as prepaid license inventory. Our payment to the
supplier may have rendered unavailable a nonexclusive
registration exemption for the sale of the shares underlying the
warrant. The Audit Committee investigation also found that we
intentionally provided the same supplier false or misleading
documents for such supplier to use to support such
suppliers improper recognition of revenue in calendar 2001.
The Audit Committee investigation and review further found that
six of the seven customer sales transactions the Committee
investigated were accounted for incorrectly and that there was
intentional misconduct in at least one of those sales
transactions. These six transactions occurred at the end of
quarters in which we just met analysts expectations with
respect to earnings per share. The Audit Committee found that we
improperly recognized revenue in a quarter-end barter
transaction involving approximately 0.4% of annual revenues for
fiscal 2000, and that we improperly accelerated the recognition
of revenue in five quarter-end transactions totaling
approximately 0.4% and 0.3% of annual revenues in fiscal 2000
and fiscal 2002, respectively. We, two of our former officers
and the SEC have agreed that Intervoice and the officers will
not assert any defenses based on a statute of limitations with
respect to any future claims by the SEC concerning the two
transactions investigated by the Audit Committee that occurred
during February 2000. As a result of work performed in
responding to the SEC subpoena, the Committee has concluded that
Intervoice also improperly recognized approximately
$5.4 million of revenue in two sales transactions during
the second and
18
third quarters of fiscal 2002 because the transactions were
subject to oral side agreements that gave our customer expanded
rights of return. We subsequently reversed the $5.4 million
of revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 in
connection with a return of the related systems. We are
providing documents to the SEC concerning these two additional
sales transactions pursuant to a separate subpoena. Separately,
the Audit Committee determined that in September 2001 one of our
current executive officers improperly communicated Intervoice
information to a shareholder.
Intervoices management has concluded, with the concurrence
of the Audit Committee and our external auditors, that
restatement of our prior period financial statements to adjust
for the findings of the Audit Committee investigation and review
is not necessary. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the
impact of the incorrect accounting on each of the periods
affected, the ages of the affected financial statements and the
lack of any material changes in prior period trends as a result
of the incorrect accounting. In addition, we noted that since
the date of the most recent transaction reviewed in the
investigation, we have restructured our business, made
significant management changes, consolidated our physical
operations, significantly reduced our fixed operating costs and
refinanced and repaid all of our major debt obligations. We
cannot predict whether we may have future losses relating to the
matters investigated by the Audit Committee as a result of
future claims, if any, including any claims by the government.

We acquired all of the outstanding stock of Edify on
December 30, 2005. Beginning December 31, 2005, our
financial results include the operations of Edify. During fiscal
2006, we incurred approximately $1.9 million in charges in
connection with restructuring expenses for severance and
organizational changes affecting approximately 50 persons made
at the time of the acquisition of Edify. In addition, during
fiscal 2006, our income tax provision included benefits totaling
$7.6 million resulting from the reversal of valuation
allowances on certain deferred tax assets and from the
resolution of tax contingencies, partially offset by a charge of
$1.0 million related to the repatriation of foreign
earnings. |
|
** |
The fiscal 2003 loss from operations was impacted by special
charges of $34.3 million related to staffing reductions,
facilities closures, the write down of excess inventories, costs
associated with loss contracts, loss on early extinguishment of
debt, and impairment of certain intangible assets. The fiscal
2003 net loss was also increased as a result of a
$15.8 million charge for the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle associated with our adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142
Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Fiscal 2003 results benefited from a change in the
U.S. federal tax law that allowed us to recognize net tax
benefits of approximately $3.0 million. |
|
*** |
The fiscal 2002 loss from operations was impacted by special
charges of $33.4 million related to the streamlining of
product lines, the write down of excess inventories and
non-productive assets, the closure of certain facilities, and
staffing reductions. |

Item 7. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, we use estimates and projections that affect the
reported amounts and related disclosures and that may vary from
actual results. We consider the following accounting policies to
be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial
condition and those that require the most subjective judgment.
If actual results differ significantly from managements
estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on
our financial statements.
Intervoice recognizes revenue from the sale of hardware and
software solutions, from the delivery of recurring maintenance
and other software support associated with installed solutions
and from the provision of our enterprise and network solutions
on a managed service basis. Our policies for revenue recognition
follow the guidance in Statement of Position No. 97-2
Software Revenue Recognition, as amended
(SOP 97-2), SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104) and
EITF 00-21
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. If
contracts include multiple elements, each element of the
arrangement is separately identified and accounted for based on
the relative fair value of such element as evidenced by vendor
specific objective evidence. Revenue is not recognized on any
element of the arrangement if undelivered elements are essential
to the functionality of the delivered elements.
Sale of Hardware and Software Solutions: Many of our
sales are of customized software or customized hardware/
software solutions. Such solutions incorporate newly designed
software and/or standard building blocks of hardware and
software which have been significantly modified, configured and
assembled to match unique customer requirements defined at the
beginning of each project. We account for sales of these
customized solutions using contract accounting principles under
either the percentage of completion (POC) or completed
contract methodology as further described below. In other
instances, particularly in situations where we sell to
distributors or where we are supplying only additional product
capacity (i.e., similar hardware and software solutions to what
is already in place) for an existing customer, we may sell
solutions that do not require significant customization. In
those situations, we recognize revenue when there is persuasive
evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, our
fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
Typically, this is at shipment when there is no installation
obligation or at the completion of minor post-shipment
installation obligations.
Generally, we use POC accounting for our more complex custom
solutions. In determining whether a particular sale qualifies
for POC treatment, we consider multiple factors including the
value of the contract and the degree of customization inherent
in the project. Projects normally must have an aggregate value
of more than $500,000 to qualify for POC treatment. For a
project accounted for under the POC method, we recognize revenue
as work progresses over the life of the project based on a
comparison of actual labor hours worked to current estimates of
total labor hours required to complete the project. We review
and update project estimates on a quarterly basis.
The terms of most POC projects require customers to make interim
progress payments during the course of the project. These
payments and a written customer acknowledgement at the
completion of the project, usually following a final customer
test phase, document the customers acceptance of the
project. In some circumstances, the passage of a contractually
defined time period or the customers use of the solution
in a live operating environment may also constitute final
acceptance of a project.
We use completed contract accounting for smaller custom projects
not meeting the POC thresholds described above. We also use
completed contract accounting in situations where the technical
requirements of a project are so complex or are so dependent on
the development of new technologies or the unique application of
existing technologies that our ability to make reasonable
estimates is in doubt or in situations where a sale is subject
to unusual inherent hazards. Such hazards are
unrelated to, or only incidentally related to, our typical
activities and include situations where the enforceability of a
contract is suspect, completion of the
21
contract is subject to pending litigation, or where the
solutions produced are subject to condemnation or expropriation
risks. These latter situations are extremely rare. For all
completed contract sales, we recognize revenue upon customer
acceptance as evidenced by a written customer acknowledgement,
the passage of a contractually defined time period or the
customers use of the solution in a live operating
environment.
We generate a significant percentage of our sales, particularly
sales of network solutions, outside the United States. Customers
in certain countries are subject to significant economic and
political challenges that affect their cash flow, and many
customers outside the United States are generally accustomed to
vendor financing in the form of extended payment terms. To
remain competitive in markets outside the United States, we may
offer selected customers such payment terms. In all cases,
however, we only recognize revenue at such time as our solutions
or service fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is
probable and all other criteria for revenue recognition have
been met. In some limited cases, this policy causes us to
recognize revenue on a cash basis, limiting revenue
recognition on certain sales of solutions and/or services to the
actual cash received to date from the customer, provided that
all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.
Sale of Maintenance and Software Support: We recognize
revenue from maintenance and software support when the services
are performed or ratably over the related contract period. All
significant costs and expenses associated with maintenance
contracts are expensed as incurred. This approximates a ratable
recognition of expenses over the contract period.
Sale of Managed Services: We provide enhanced
communications solutions to some customers on an outsourced
basis through our managed service business. While specific
arrangements can vary, we generally build a customized solution
to address a specific customers business needs and then
own, monitor, and maintain that system, ensuring that it
processes the customers business transactions in
accordance with defined specifications. For our services, we
generally receive a one-time setup fee paid at the beginning of
the contract and a service fee paid monthly over the life of the
contract. Most contracts range from 12 to 36 months in
length.
We combine the setup fee and the total service fee to be
received from the customer and recognize revenue ratably over
the term of the managed service contract. We capitalize the cost
of the computer system(s) and related applications used to
provide the service and depreciate such costs over the contract
life (for assets unique to the individual contract) or the life
of the equipment (for assets common to the general managed
service operations or for assets whose useful lives are shorter
than the related contract term). We expense all labor and other
period costs required to provide the service as we incur them.
Loss Contracts: We update our estimates of the costs
necessary to complete all customer contracts in process on a
quarterly basis. Whenever current estimates indicate that we
will incur a loss on the completion of a contract, we
immediately record a provision for such loss as part of the
current period cost of goods sold.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
Inventories are recorded at standard cost which approximates
actual cost determined on a
first-in, first-out
basis. We periodically review our inventories for unsaleable or
obsolete items and for items held in excess quantities based on
current and projected usage. We make adjustments where necessary
to reduce the carrying value of individual items to reflect the
lower of cost or market, and any such adjustments create a new
carrying value for the affected items.
|
|
|
Intangible Assets and Goodwill |
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are comprised of
separately identifiable intangible assets arising out of our
fiscal 2006 acquisition of Edify Corporation and our fiscal 2000
acquisition of Brite Voice Systems, Inc., and certain
capitalized purchased software. We amortize intangible assets
using the straight-line method over each assets estimated
useful life. Such lives range from 18 months to
12 years. We review our intangible assets for possible
impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired and the undiscounted projected cash
flows associated with such assets are less than the carrying
amounts of the
22
assets. In those situations, we recognize an impairment loss on
the intangible asset equal to the excess of the carrying amount
of the asset over the assets fair value, generally based
upon discounted estimates of future cash flows.
We expense the cost of internally developed software products
and substantial enhancements to existing software products for
sale until technological feasibility is established, after which
point any additional costs are capitalized. Technological
feasibility of a computer software product is established when
we have completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing
activities necessary to establish that the product can be
produced to meet its design specifications including functions,
features, and technical performance requirements. No costs have
been capitalized to date for internally developed software
products and enhancements as our current process for developing
software is essentially completed concurrent with the
establishment of technological feasibility. We capitalize
purchased software upon acquisition when such software is
technologically feasible or if it has an alternative future use,
such as use of the software in different products or resale of
the purchased software.
Goodwill: Goodwill is attributable to our fiscal 2006
acquisition of Edify Corporation and our fiscal 2000 purchase of
Brite Voice Systems, Inc. Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life
and is not subject to annual amortization. We do, however,
perform an impairment test on our goodwill balance on at least
an annual basis and more frequently if we identify triggering
events on an interim basis. Our impairment review follows the
two-step approach defined in SFAS No. 142. The first
step compares the fair value of Intervoice with its carrying
amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the
carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired. If the
carrying amount exceeds fair value, we compare the implied fair
value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If
the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value
of that goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount
equal to the lesser of that excess or the carrying amount of
goodwill.
We recognize deferred income taxes using the liability method
and reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and
regulations. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets in circumstances where we do not consider realization of
such assets to be more likely than not. This is a highly
subjective assessment and requires us to evaluate the
predictability of future taxable income while considering our
operating history which includes significant losses in fiscal
2003 and 2002. In fiscal 2006, we reversed a significant portion
of the valuation allowances originally recorded in fiscal 2002
and 2003 associated with deferred tax assets of our
U.S. operations. We believe our profitability over the last
three years and our projected future profitability now make it
more likely than not that we will realize such previously
reserved assets. We continue to provide valuation allowances on
foreign and state deferred tax assets and on certain U.S.
federal deferred tax assets that will benefit equity if and when
realized.

International sales constituted 45% of total sales in fiscal
2006, and 41% of total sales in 2005 and 2004.
Total sales for fiscal 2006 included approximately
$4.0 million (2.4% of total sales) from the sale of Edify
products and services recognized after the completion of our
merger on December 30, 2005. Approximately
$1.5 million of this amount is included in Voice
Automation/ IVR solution sales, and approximately
$2.5 million is included in maintenance and related
services revenues. The Edify product and service lines are
consistent with our existing product lines, and we will not
separately report Edify sales in fiscal 2007 and future years.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates from fiscal 2005 to
2006 served to decrease sales for fiscal 2006 by approximately
$1.6 million. Changes from fiscal 2004 to 2005 served to
increase sales for fiscal 2005 by approximately
$3.6 million.
Sales of Voice Automation/ IVR solutions declined significantly
in fiscal 2006 from fiscal 2005 and 2004 levels. A portion of
the decline results from the fact that sales in fiscal 2005
included approximately $10.3 million recognized under an
$11.4 million sale to a major U.S. wireless provider.
There were no individual sales of this magnitude in fiscal 2006.
The balance of the decline reflects weakness in our Voice
Automation/ IVR sales across all our major geographic markets,
with the largest decline focused in North America. We believe
some IVR customers postponed investment decisions during our
fiscal 2006 while they continued to evaluate the effects of the
market shift to open standards on their individual processing
environments.
Network portal solution sales in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004
included sales of $7.1 million, $3.1 million and
$0.1 million, respectively, to a single international
telecommunications customer.
The increase in messaging solution sales from fiscal 2005 to
2006 is largely attributable to the recognition of approximately
$6.2 million in fiscal 2006 under the first two contracts
for our new advanced messaging product media
exchange for networks. Both contracts are scheduled for
completion during the first half of fiscal 2007.
Our sales of payment solutions in 2006 primarily reflect sales
of capacity upgrades to existing clients in the Middle East and
Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. The decline in such
sales from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 is largely attributable to
the loss of an MEA customer who had purchased $4.9 million
and $4.0 million in payment solutions during fiscal 2005
and 2004, respectively.
The 8.4% increase in our maintenance and related services
revenues in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 is comprised
of increases of $7.0 million (15.5%) in maintenance
revenues on voice automation/ IVR solutions offset, in part, by
decreases of $2.0 million (13.8%) in maintenance revenues
on network portal, messaging and payment solutions.
The 9.4% increase in managed service revenues in fiscal 2006 as
compared to fiscal 2005 is comprised of growth of
$3.2 million (33.3%) in revenues from our North American
enterprise customers offset, in part, by net reductions of
$1.0 million (7.5%) in revenues from our international
network customers. International managed services revenues
during fiscal 2006 included $2.0 million relating to
services performed for an
25
international managed services customer for which we recognize
revenue on a cash basis. We recognized $1.5 million and
$5.7 million of similar sales to the same customer in
fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. At February 28, 2006,
this customer owed us approximately $0.3 million for
contracted services performed but not recognized as revenue
through that date. In addition we are currently negotiating a
contract extension to continue similar services through November
2006. Our ability to recognize any additional amounts under
contracts with this customer as revenue and the timing of any
such revenue recognition is uncertain. We recognized revenues
totaling $8.3 million in fiscal 2006 and $10.0 million
in each of fiscal 2005 and 2004 under one long term
international managed services contract with O2. The contract
expires in July 2006. We do not expect the contract to be
extended beyond that date. At current exchange rates, the
contract is expected to yield managed service revenues of
approximately $0.6 million per month for the balance of its
term.
We have historically made significant sales of solutions,
maintenance and managed services, including the managed services
described above, to O2. Such combined sales accounted for 10% of
our total sales during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004. No other
customer accounted for 10% or more of our sales during such
periods.
We are prone to quarterly sales fluctuations. Some of our
transactions are completed in the same fiscal quarter as
ordered. The quantity and size of large sales (sales valued at
approximately $2.0 million or more) during any quarter can
cause wide variations in our quarterly sales and earnings, as
such sales are unevenly distributed throughout the fiscal year.
We use a system combining estimated sales from our recurring
services contracts, pipeline of solution sales
opportunities, and backlog of committed solution orders to
estimate sales and trends in our business. For the years ended
February 28, 2006, February 28, 2005 and
February 29, 2004 sales were sourced as follows:

Our service and support contracts range in original duration
from one month to five years, with most managed service
contracts having initial terms of two to three years and most
maintenance and related contracts having initial terms of one
year. Because many of the longer duration contracts give
customers early cancellation privileges, we do not consider our
book of services contracts to be reportable backlog, as a
portion of the potential revenue reflected in the contract
values may never be realized. Nevertheless, it is easier for us
to estimate service and support sales than to estimate solution
sales for the next quarter because the service and support
contracts generally span multiple quarters and revenues
recognized under each contract are generally similar from one
quarter to the next.
Our backlog is made up of customer orders for solutions for
which we have received complete purchase orders and which we
generally expect to deliver within twelve months. At February
28/29, 2006, 2005 and 2004, our backlog of solutions sales was
approximately $33.9 million, $35.4 million and
$31.7 million, respectively. Backlog at February 28,
2006 includes $3.7 million related to Edify products. These
products are consistent with our existing product lines, and we
will not report Edify backlog separately in fiscal 2007 and
future years. Our ability to estimate the amount of backlog that
will be converted to revenue in any fiscal quarter can be
affected by factors outside our control, including changes in
project timing requested by our customers.
Our pipeline of opportunities for solutions sales is the
aggregation of our sales opportunities for which we have not
received a purchase order, with each opportunity evaluated for
the date the potential customer will make a purchase decision,
competitive risks, and the potential amount of any resulting
sale. No matter how
26
promising a pipeline opportunity may appear, there is no
assurance it will ever result in a sale. While we incorporate an
estimate of sales from pipeline into our business planning and
budgeting, pipeline estimates are necessarily speculative and
may not consistently correlate to solutions sales in a
particular quarter or over a longer period of time. While we
know the amount of solutions backlog available at the beginning
of a quarter, we must speculate on our pipeline of solutions
opportunities for the quarter. Our accuracy in estimating total
solutions sales for future fiscal quarters is, therefore, highly
dependent upon our ability to successfully estimate which
pipeline opportunities will close during the quarter.
To compete effectively in our target markets in fiscal 2007 and
beyond, we believe we must continue to transition our products
and services to an open, standards-based business model. We have
historically provided complete, bundled hardware and software
systems using internally developed components to address our
customers total business needs. Increasingly, the markets
for our products are requiring a shift to the development of
products and services based on an open, standards-based
architecture such as the J2EE and
Microsofts®.NET
environments utilizing VoiceXML and/or SALT standards. Such an
open, standards-based approach allows customers to independently
purchase and combine hardware components, standardized software
modules, and customization, installation and integration
services from individual vendors deemed to offer the best value
in the particular class of product or service. In such an
environment, we believe we may sell less hardware and fewer
bundled systems and may become increasingly dependent on our
development and sale of software application packages,
customized software and consulting and integration services.
This shift will place new challenges on our management to
transition our products and to hire and retain the mix of
personnel necessary to respond to this business environment, to
adapt to the changing expense structure that the new environment
may tend to foster, and to increase sales of services,
customized software and application packages to offset reduced
sales of hardware and bundled systems.
Special Charges
During fiscal 2006, we incurred approximately $1.9 million
in charges in connection with restructuring expenses for
severance and organizational changes affecting approximately 50
persons made at the time of the acquisition of Edify
Corporation. The following table summarizes the effect on
reported operating results by financial statement category of
such special charges (in millions).

Of this amount approximately $1.8 million remained accrued
at February 28, 2006.
During fiscal 2004, we incurred severance charges of
approximately $1.4 million in connection with a reduction
in workforce affecting 56 positions. In addition, we incurred
cash and non-cash charges totaling approximately
$0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, under the
terms of a separation agreement with our former Chief Financial
Officer who resigned to pursue other opportunities.

During fiscal 2006 and 2004, we incurred special charges to cost
of goods sold totaling $0.5 million (0.3% of sales) and
$0.6 million (0.3% of sales), respectively, as described in
the preceding Special Charges section. A significant portion of
our solutions cost of goods sold is comprised of labor costs
that are fixed over the near term as opposed to direct material
and license/royalty costs that vary directly with sales volume.
The increase in solutions costs of goods sold as a percentage of
solutions sales in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 and
the decrease in such percentage from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005
resulted largely from the changes in solution sales volume
across the three year period which occurred without proportional
increases or decreases in our fixed labor costs. In addition, as
discussed in the Sales section above, we performed significant
work during fiscal 2006 on the first two contracts for our new
advanced messaging product media exchange for
networks. Because of the significant effort involved in these
initial deployments of this product, we realized no net margin
on approximately $6.2 million of revenue recognized during
fiscal 2006. Both contracts are scheduled for completion during
the first half of fiscal 2007.
During fiscal 2006, our services cost of goods sold declined
both in dollar amount and as a percentage of services revenues
over fiscal 2005 levels. The reduction in actual costs resulted
primarily from contractual reductions in third party costs
associated with our international managed services business,
reduced telecommunications costs negotiated based on higher
volumes in our domestic managed services business, and lower
warranty and repairs and maintenance costs. The reduction in
cost as a percent of recurring revenues resulted from these cost
savings and from our ability to support net revenue growth in
both our maintenance and managed services business with limited
additions to our existing cost structure. Our cost of goods sold
percentage also benefited from a shift in the geographic mix of
some maintenance revenues from areas with a relatively higher
cost structure to lower cost areas.

We incurred special charges of $0.2 million (0.1% of sales)
and $0.2 million (0.1% of sales) in fiscal 2006 and 2004,
respectively, as described in Special Charges above. Expenses
were up approximately $0.9 million in fiscal 2006 as
compared to fiscal 2005 as a result of the acquisition of Edify
Corporation. The remainder of the increase in year over year
R&D expenditures from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 relates to
the continued investment in various research and development
initiatives involving packaged applications and voice over IP
(VoIP) as well as network product offerings. Recurring research
and development expenses included the design of new products and
the enhancement of existing products.
28
Our research and development spending is focused in five key
areas. First, we are developing software tools to aid in the
development and deployment of customer applications
incorporating speech recognition,
text-to-speech, and
other rich media technologies for enterprises and wireless and
wireline providers. Next, we are developing server-based
application software platforms for operations and management of
contact center, speech and call completion applications. These
software platforms are branded under the name Media Exchange. We
will use these software platforms for deployment and management
of enterprise, wireless and wireline network operator
applications which are designed to operate in both J2EE and
Microsofts®.NET
enterprise computing environments. Third, we are developing
media servers, voice browsers, and call processing
infrastructure based on open standards such as VoiceXML, CCXML
and SALT. These media servers are VoIP enabled, allowing
operation in soft-switch and hybrid PSTN and VoIP networks.
Fourth, we are developing packaged, speech enabled applications
for the network operator and enterprise markets. These include a
range of vertical and horizontal applications that are designed
to greatly enhance customer
return-on-investment by
providing many commonly used, configurable functions that can be
deployed more quickly than can custom applications. Finally, we
are developing modular productivity and communications
applications for wireless and wireline applications including
speech driven voice mail, voice activated dialing, and enhanced
personal information management. The network products are also
branded under the product name Media Exchange.
We expect to maintain a strong commitment to research and
development so that we can remain at the forefront of technology
development in our markets.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three years

The addition of Edify Corporation accounted for approximately
$1.7 million of the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal
2005. In addition, fiscal 2006 included increases of
approximately $1.0 million for legal expenses primarily
related to increased patent and merger and acquisition
activities, $0.6 million for non-capitalizable contract
labor associated with our SAP implementation and
$0.3 million for website development and rebranding
efforts. We incurred SG&A charges in connection with the
Audit Committee and SEC investigations described in Item 3
of Part I of this
Form 10-K of
approximately $1.1 million, or 0.7% of total sales, during
fiscal 2006 and $2.0 million, or 1.1% of total sales,
during fiscal 2005. SG&A expenses included special charges
of $1.2 million (0.7% of sales) and $1.4 million (0.8%
of sales) in fiscal 2006 and 2004, as described in Special
Charges above.
Amortization and Impairment of Goodwill and Acquired
Intangible Assets
In connection with our purchase of Edify Corporation in fiscal
2006 and Brite Voice Systems, Inc. (Brite) in fiscal
2000, we recorded intangible assets and goodwill totaling
$35.8 million and $103.8 million, respectively. The
separately identifiable intangible assets were assigned useful
lives ranging from 18 months to 10 years. For the
fiscal years ended February 28/29, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we
recognized amortization expenses related to these intangible
assets as follows (in millions):

At February 28, 2006, we had $10.3 million in
remaining net intangible assets other than goodwill which will
be subject to amortization in future periods. The estimated
amortization expense attributable to our intangible assets for
each of the next five years is as follows (in millions):

We conducted our required annual test of goodwill impairment
during the fourth quarters of fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004. No
impairment of goodwill was indicated.
Interest Income
Interest income was approximately $2.2 million,
$0.9 million and $0.6 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively. The increase in interest income resulted
from our positive cash flow in fiscal 2004 and 2005 and from
rising interest rates. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006,
we used approximately $34.3 million of cash in connection
with our acquisition of Edify. As a result, we expect to earn
less interest income in fiscal 2007 than in fiscal 2006.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of less than $0.1 million,
approximately $0.6 million and $2.0 million during
fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Substantially all of
this expense related to our long term borrowings initially
obtained in connection with the Brite merger and subsequently
refinanced. The reduction in interest expense from fiscal 2004
through fiscal 2006 is primarily attributable to the lower
levels of debt outstanding in successive years as we made
scheduled and discretionary payments of principal. Interest
expense also declined because we were able to negotiate lower
interest rates when we refinanced our debt in fiscal 2004 and
2005. Borrowings under all credit agreements totaled
$1.7 million and $13.1 million at February 28/29, 2005
and 2004, respectively. We had no debt outstanding at
February 28, 2006.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004
totaling approximately $0.1 million, $0.1 million and
($2.3) million, respectively, was comprised primarily of
foreign currency transaction gains and losses.
Income Taxes
We recognized an income tax benefit of $5.3 million (-47%
of pretax income) for fiscal 2006 and income tax expense of
$2.6 million (10% of pretax income) and $3.4 million
(23% of pretax income) for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004,
respectively. The fiscal 2006 percentage differs from the
U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the
release of valuation allowances previously maintained against
certain U.S. deferred tax assets and the favorable
resolution of certain tax contingencies during the year offset,
in part, by additional tax expense incurred on the repatriation
of certain foreign earnings, all as further discussed below. The
fiscal 2005 and 2004 percentages differ from the
U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the
taxability in the U.S. of certain dividends deemed to have
been received from our foreign subsidiaries, the use of certain
fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards and other fully
reserved deferred tax assets as further described below and the
favorable resolution of certain tax contingencies.
During fiscal 2003 and 2002, we incurred significant losses. As
a result, we were unable to conclude that it was more likely
than not that we would recognize the benefit of our net deferred
tax assets, and, accordingly, we established a valuation
allowance against such assets. For the three years ended
February 28, 2006, we have reported profits on both our
consolidated and U.S. operations. Given this history of
profitability and our
30
belief that we will continue to generate sufficient taxable
income in the future to realize the benefits of certain of our
remaining U.S. federal deferred tax assets, in February
2006 we benefited our fiscal 2006 income tax provision by
reversing $4.4 million of valuation allowance associated
with such assets. We continued to provide valuation allowances
on foreign and state deferred tax assets and on certain
U.S. federal deferred tax assets that will benefit equity
if and when realized. These valuation allowances are provided
because of remaining uncertainty about the realizability of such
assets.
During fiscal 2006, we resolved various tax contingencies
arising out of our U.S., U.K., German and MEA operations. The
resolution of all such items resulted in a $3.2 million
reduction in our tax expense for fiscal 2006 and was associated
with the completion of audits of certain of our international
tax returns and with the closing of certain tax periods due to
the passage of time.
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the
AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA provides for a
deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. During the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2006, we elected to repatriate $10.3 million from
our U.K. subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of the AJCA. In
doing so, we incurred related income tax expense of
approximately $1.0 million.
Our U.S. taxable income for fiscal 2005 and 2004 included
distributions deemed to have been made to our U.S. company
by several of our foreign subsidiaries, including, particularly,
our U.K. subsidiary. Such deemed distributions stemmed from the
existence and ultimate settlement of intercompany debt owed by
the U.S. entity to certain of our foreign subsidiaries and
from the pledging of certain U.K. assets as collateral for a
term loan that was outstanding for a portion of fiscal 2004.
During fiscal 2005 and 2004, we used net operating losses
carried forward from previous years and the reversal of certain
temporary differences to offset virtually all of our
U.S. taxable income. As a result, our current tax expense
was limited to a small amount of U.S. alternative minimum
tax expense and to tax expense on our international operations.
The reversal of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation
allowances offset the deferred tax expense we would otherwise
have incurred as a result of using the assets, and, as a result,
our overall effective tax rate for the years was substantially
less than the statutory rates. Tax expense for fiscal 2005 also
reflected the benefit of a $0.9 million favorable tax
settlement with a foreign government reached during the year.
At February 28, 2006, we had U.S. federal net
operating loss carryforwards totaling $9.3 million. This
amount, if not used, will expire beginning in fiscal 2021. All
of these federal net operating loss carryforwards arose from
employee stock option exercises. As a result, the realization of
such carryforwards when used to reduce federal tax payments in
fiscal 2007 and future years will increase equity and will not
reduce our tax provision for those years.
Income From Operations and Net Income
We generated income from operations of $9.0 million and net
income of $16.5 million during fiscal 2006. Income from
operations and net income were $24.7 million and
$22.5 million, respectively, during fiscal 2005 and
$18.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, in
fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2006, our reduced operating profitability
is primarily attributable to the significant decline in our
solution sales from prior year levels. The effect of this sales
reduction on our fiscal 2006 net income was mitigated, in
part, by the large tax benefits associated with the reversal of
valuation allowances on deferred tax assets as described above.
In fiscal 2005, our increased profitability over fiscal 2004
levels resulted primarily from significant growth in our Voice
Automation/ IVR and network portal sales, reduced interest
expense resulting from significant reductions in debt, reduced
amortization expense and a low effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 2006, we had $42.1 million in cash and
cash equivalents, and we had no debt outstanding.
31
Operating cash flow for fiscal 2006 totaled $26.7 million,
the result of our profitability for the year and our continuing
focus on balance sheet management. Our days sales outstanding of
accounts receivable was 57 days at February 28, 2006,
largely unchanged from fiscal 2005.
For sales of certain of our more complex, customized solutions
(generally those with a sales price of $500,000 or more), we
recognize revenue based on a percentage of completion
methodology. Unbilled receivables accrued under this methodology
totaled $5.1 million (19.8% of total net receivables) at
February 28, 2006, as compared to $7.4 million (23.0%
of total receivables) at February 28, 2005. We expect to
bill and collect unbilled receivables as of February 28,
2006 within the next twelve months.
We generate a significant percentage of our sales, particularly
sales of network solutions, outside the United States. Customers
in certain countries are subject to significant economic and
political challenges that affect their cash flow, and many
customers outside the United States are generally accustomed to
vendor financing in the form of extended payment terms. To
remain competitive in markets outside the United States, we may
offer selected customers such payment terms. In all cases,
however, we only recognize revenue at such time as our solution
or service fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is
probable and all other criteria for revenue recognition have
been met. In some limited cases, this policy may result in our
recognizing revenue on a cash basis, limiting
revenue recognition on certain sales of solutions and/or
services to the actual cash received to date from the customer,
provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been
satisfied.
We used $47.8 million of cash in net investing activities
during fiscal 2006. Of this amount, we used $34.3 million
in the purchase of Edify Corporation, $4.1 million to
purchase equipment to expand our managed services business,
$5.7 million for costs in connection with our SAP
implementation, and the remaining $3.7 million for
replacement and expansion of our computing infrastructure and
other capital purchases. We will also use approximately
$1.0 million of cash during fiscal 2007 to pay a portion of
the Edify purchase price which was accrued but unpaid as of
February 28, 2006. We expect to make capital expenditures
of approximately $16.7 million in fiscal 2007. Actual
capital expenditures, however, are dependent, in part, on the
level of expenditures made in connection with expansion of our
managed services business and could vary from this amount.
During fiscal 2006, our financing activities provided
$3.9 million in net cash flow. Our option holders exercised
options for 0.7 million shares of common stock and, in so
doing, provided us with $3.2 million of cash. In addition,
warrant holders exercised warrants for 0.6 million shares
of common stock and provided us with $2.5 million in cash.
We used $1.7 million of cash during fiscal 2006 to repay
all remaining debt under our credit agreements.
|
|
|
Letter of Credit Facility |
In February 2006, we terminated our existing line of credit and
entered into a new letter of credit line with the lender. The
letter of credit line provides that the lender will issue
letters of credit not to exceed the principal amount of
$2.0 million. At February 28, 2006, letters of credit
totaling approximately $0.2 million were outstanding. Any
draft actually paid by the lender will bear interest at a rate
of one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) above the prime rate. This
agreement contains certain representations and warranties,
certain negative and affirmative covenants, and certain
conditions and events of default which are customarily required
for similar financing. As of February 28, 2006, we were in
compliance with all such covenants.

The operating lease payments shown above were our only
off-balance sheet arrangements at February 28, 2006.
Most of our purchases are executed under cancelable purchase
orders. The firm purchase commitments shown above are comprised
of non-cancelable commitments for certain communications charges
and royalties.
We believe our cash reserves and internally generated cash flow
will be sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements for
the next twelve months.
We do not expect any significant short-term impact of inflation
on our financial condition. Technological advances should
continue to reduce costs in the computer and communications
industries. Further, we presently are not bound by long term
fixed price sales contracts. The absence of such contracts
should reduce our exposure to inflationary effects.

We acquired all of the outstanding stock of Edify on
December 30, 2005. Beginning December 31, 2005, our
financial results include the operations of Edify. During the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we incurred approximately
$1.9 million in charges in connection with restructuring
expenses for severance and |
33
|
|
|
organizational changes affecting approximately 50 persons made
at the time of the acquisition of Edify. In addition, for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, our income tax provision included
benefits totaling $6.8 million resulting from the reversal
of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets and from
the resolution of tax contingencies, partially offset by a
charge of $1.0 million related to the repatriation of
foreign earnings. |
|
|
Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk |
We invest cash balances in excess of operating requirements in
short-term securities that generally have maturities of
90 days or less. The carrying value of these securities
approximates market value, and there is no long-term interest
rate risk associated with these investments.
Foreign Currency Risks
We transact business in certain foreign currencies including,
particularly, the British pound and the Euro. Our primary
software application development, research and development and
other administrative activities are conducted from offices in
the United States and the United Kingdom, and our primary
manufacturing operations are conducted in the United States.
Virtually all sales arranged through our U.S. offices are
denominated in U.S. dollars, which is the functional and
reporting currency of our U.S. entity. Sales arranged
through our U.K. subsidiary are denominated in various
currencies, including the British pound, the U.S. dollar
and the Euro; however, the U.K. subsidiarys functional
currency is the British pound.
For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, sales
originating from our U.K. subsidiary represented approximately
34% of consolidated sales. As a result of our international
operations, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in
certain foreign currency exchange rates. We have not
historically used foreign currency options or forward contracts
to hedge our currency exposures because of variability in the
timing of cash flows associated with our larger contracts, and
we did not have any such hedge instruments in place at
February 28, 2006. Rather, we attempt to mitigate our
foreign currency risk by generally transacting business in the
functional currency of each of our major subsidiaries, thus
creating natural hedges by paying expenses incurred in the local
currency in which revenues will be received.
As noted above, our operating results are exposed to changes in
certain exchange rates including, particularly, those between
the U.S. dollar, the British pound and the Euro. When the
U.S. dollar strengthens against the other currencies, our
sales are negatively affected upon the translation of U.K.
operating results to the reporting currency. The effect of these
changes on our operating profits varies depending on the level
of British pound denominated expenses and the U.K.
subsidiarys overall profitability. For the fiscal year
ended February 28, 2006, the result of a hypothetical,
uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar
relative to the British pound and the Euro would have been a
decrease in sales of approximately $4.1 million and an
increase in net income of approximately $1.1 million. In
addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates,
which are a changed dollar value of the resulting sales and/or
operating expenses, changes in exchange rates also could affect
the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as
competitors products become more or less attractive. This
sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in
sales levels or local currency prices.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Intervoice, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Intervoice, Inc. as of February 28, 2006 and 2005 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended February 28, 2006. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
index at Item 15(a). These consolidated financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Intervoice, Inc. at
February 28, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended February 28, 2006, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of Intervoice, Inc. internal control over
financial reporting as of February 28, 2006, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission, and our report dated May 9, 2006
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

|
|
Note B |
Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Intervoice, Inc. and our
subsidiaries, all of which are directly or indirectly 100% owned
by Intervoice, Inc. On December 30, 2005, we acquired all
of the outstanding stock of Edify. Beginning December 31,
2005, our consolidated results include the operations of Edify
and its wholly owned subsidiaries (See Note C). All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation. Financial statements of our foreign
subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at
current and average exchange rates. Resulting translation
adjustments are recorded in stockholders equity as a part
of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Any foreign currency
transaction gains or losses are included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States requires management to make certain estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents include
investments in highly liquid securities with a maturity of three
months or less at the time of acquisition. The carrying amount
of these securities approximates fair market value. Interest
income was $2.2 million, $0.9 million and
$0.6 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
or market. Inventories are recorded at standard cost which
approximates actual cost determined on a
first-in, first-out
basis. We periodically review our inventories for unsaleable or
obsolete items and for items held in excess quantities based on
current and projected usage. Adjustments are made where
necessary to reduce the carrying value of individual items to
reflect the lower of cost or market, and any such adjustments
create a new carrying value for the affected items.
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated
at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method
over each assets estimated useful life. The range of
useful lives by major category is: buildings: 5 to
40 years; computer equipment and software: 3 to
5 years; furniture, fixtures and other: 5 years; and
service equipment: 3 years. Depreciation expense totaled
$7.0 million, $6.1 million and $6.7 million in
fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Intangible Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
Intangible assets are comprised of separately identifiable
intangible assets arising out of our fiscal 2006 acquisition of
Edify (See Note C) and our fiscal 2000 acquisition of Brite
and certain capitalized purchased software. We amortize
intangible assets using the straight-line method over each
assets estimated useful life. Such lives range from
eighteen months to twelve years. Amortization expense for these
items totaled $1.6 million, $1.7 million and
$3.0 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We review our intangible and other long-lived assets for
possible impairment
40
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted projected cash flows associated
with such assets are less than the carrying amounts of the
assets. In those situations, we recognize an impairment loss on
the intangible asset equal to the excess of the carrying amount
of the asset over the assets fair value, generally
determined based upon discounted estimates of future cash flows.
See Note D Goodwill and Intangible
Assets. No impairment was indicated for fiscal 2006, 2005
or 2004.
We expense the cost of internally developed software products
and substantial enhancements to existing software products for
sale until technological feasibility is established, after which
point any additional costs are capitalized. Technological
feasibility of a computer software product is established when
we have completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing
activities necessary to establish that the product can be
produced to meet its design specifications including functions,
features, and technical performance requirements. No costs have
been capitalized to date for internally developed software
products and enhancements as our current process for developing
software is essentially completed concurrent with the
establishment of technological feasibility. We capitalize
purchased software upon acquisition when such software is
technologically feasible or if it has an alternative future use,
such as use of the software in different products or resale of
the purchased software.
Goodwill: Goodwill is attributable to our fiscal 2006
purchase of Edify (See Note C) and our fiscal 2000 purchase
of Brite. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite life and is not
subject to annual amortization. We, however, do perform an
impairment test on our goodwill balance on at least an annual
basis and at any interim date at which we identify that a
triggering event has occurred. Our impairment review follows the
two-step approach defined in SFAS No. 142. The first
step compares the fair value of Intervoice with our carrying
amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the
carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired. If the
carrying amount exceeds fair value, we compare the implied fair
value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If
the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value
of that goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount
equal to the lesser of that excess or the carrying amount of
goodwill. No impairment was indicated for fiscal 2006, 2005 or
2004.
Other Assets: At February 28, 2006 and 2005 other
assets were comprised primarily of refundable deposits.
Customer Deposits: Customer deposits is comprised of
amounts received from customers for orders not yet fulfilled.
Deferred Income: Deferred income is comprised primarily
of amounts collected but not yet earned under annual maintenance
and software support contracts. We recognize revenue from such
contracts ratably over the term of the contracts.
Product Warranties: We provide limited warranties on the
sale of certain of our solutions. Such warranties cover routine
bug-fixes and hardware problems and do not provide a right to
system upgrades and enhancements. The warranties are typically
valid for one year. At February 28, 2006 and 2005, our
accrued warranty costs totaled $1.0 million and
$1.1 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from the sale
of hardware and software solutions, from the delivery of
recurring maintenance and software support associated with
installed solutions and from the provision of our enterprise and
network solutions on a managed service basis. Our policies for
revenue recognition follow the guidance in Statement of Position
No. 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, as
amended
(SOP 97-2), SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104) and
EITF 00-21
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
(EITF 00-21). If
contracts include multiple elements, each element of the
arrangement is separately identified and accounted for based on
the relative fair value of such
41
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
element as evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence.
Revenue is not recognized on any element of the arrangement if
undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of the
delivered elements.
Sale of Hardware and Software Solutions: Many of our
sales are of customized software or customized hardware/
software solutions. Such solutions incorporate newly designed
software and/or standard building blocks of hardware and
software which have been significantly modified, configured and
assembled to match unique customer requirements defined at the
beginning of each project. We account for sales of these
customized solutions using contract accounting principles under
either the percentage of completion (POC) or completed
contract methodology as further described below. In other
instances, particularly in situations where we sell to
distributors or where we are supplying only additional product
capacity (i.e., similar hardware and software solutions to what
is already in place) for an existing customer, we may sell
solutions that do not require significant customization. In
those situations, we recognize revenue when there is persuasive
evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, our
fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
Typically, this is at shipment when there is no installation
obligation or at the completion of minor post-shipment
installation obligations.
Generally, we use POC accounting for our more complex custom
solutions. In determining whether a particular sale qualifies
for POC treatment, we consider multiple factors including the
value of the contract and the degree of customization inherent
in the project. Projects normally must have an aggregate value
of more than $500,000 to qualify for POC treatment. For a
project accounted for under the POC method, we recognize revenue
as work progresses over the life of the project based on a
comparison of actual labor hours worked to current estimates of
total labor hours required to complete the project. We review
and update project estimates on a quarterly basis. Unbilled
receivables accrued under this POC methodology totaled
$5.1 million (20% of total net receivables) and
$7.4 million (23% of total net receivables) at
February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect to bill
and collect unbilled receivables as of February 28, 2006
within the next twelve months.
The terms of most POC projects require customers to make interim
progress payments during the course of the project. These
payments and a written customer acknowledgement at the
completion of the project, usually following a final customer
test phase, document the customers acceptance of the
project. In some circumstances, the passage of a contractually
defined time period or the customers use of the solution
in a live operating environment may also constitute final
acceptance of a project.
We use completed contract accounting for smaller custom projects
not meeting the POC thresholds described above. We also use
completed contract accounting in situations where the technical
requirements of a project are so complex or are so dependent on
the development of new technologies or the unique application of
existing technologies that our ability to make reasonable
estimates is in doubt or in situations where a sale is subject
to unusual inherent hazards. Such hazards are
unrelated to, or only incidentally related to, our typical
activities and include situations where the enforceability of a
contract is suspect, completion of the contract is subject to
pending litigation, or where the solutions produced are subject
to condemnation or expropriation risks. These latter situations
are extremely rare. For all completed contract sales, we
recognize revenue upon customer acceptance as evidenced by a
written customer acknowledgement, the passage of a contractually
defined time period or the customers use of the solution
in a live operating environment.
We generate a significant percentage of our sales, particularly
sales of network solutions, outside the United States. Customers
in certain countries are subject to significant economic and
political challenges that affect their cash flow, and many
customers outside the United States are generally accustomed to
vendor financing in the form of extended payment terms. To
remain competitive in markets outside the United States, we may
offer selected customers such payment terms. In all cases,
however, we only recognize revenue at such time as our solution
or service fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is
probable and all other criteria for revenue recognition have
been met. In some limited cases, this policy causes us to
recognize revenue on a cash basis, limiting revenue
recognition on certain sales of solutions and/or services to the
42
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
actual cash received to date from the customer, provided that
all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.
Sale of Maintenance and Software Support: We recognize
revenue from maintenance and software support when the services
are performed or ratably over the related contract period. All
significant costs and expenses associated with maintenance
contracts are expensed as incurred. This approximates a ratable
recognition of expenses over the contract period.
Sale of Managed Services: We provide enhanced
communications solutions to some customers on an outsourced
basis through our managed service business. While specific
arrangements can vary, we generally build a customized solution
to address a specific customers business need and then
own, monitor, and maintain that system, ensuring that it
processes the customers business transactions in
accordance with defined specifications. For our services, we
generally receive a one-time setup fee paid at the beginning of
the contract and a service fee paid monthly over the life of the
contract. Most contracts range from 12 to 36 months in
length.
We combine the setup fee and the total service fee to be
received from the customer and recognize revenue ratably over
the term of the managed service contract. We capitalize the cost
of the computer system(s) and related applications used to
provide the service and depreciate such costs over the contract
life (for assets unique to the individual contract) or the life
of the equipment (for assets common to the general managed
service operations or for assets whose useful lives are shorter
than the related contract term). We expense all labor and other
period costs required to provide the service as we incur them.
Loss Contracts: We update our estimates of the costs
necessary to complete all customer contracts in process on a
quarterly basis. Whenever current estimates indicate that we
will incur a loss on the completion of a contract, we
immediately record a provision for such loss as part of the
current period cost of goods sold.
Research and Development: Research and development costs
are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as
incurred. Advertising expense was $2.1 million in fiscal
2006, $2.2 million in fiscal 2005 and $0.9 million in
fiscal 2004.
Income Taxes: We recognize deferred income taxes using
the liability method to reflect the tax impact of temporary
differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax
laws and regulations. We provide a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets in circumstances where we do not consider
realization of such assets to be more likely than not. This is a
highly subjective assessment and requires us to evaluate the
predictability of future taxable income while considering our
operating history which includes significant losses in fiscal
2003 and 2002. During fiscal 2006, we reversed a significant
portion of the valuation allowances associated with deferred tax
assets of our U.S. operations. See Note I.
Stock Compensation: We account for our stock-based
employee compensation using the intrinsic value method as
defined in Accounting Principles Board Statement No. 25
(APB 25). Under this approach, we recognize expense at the
grant date of an option only to the extent that the fair value
of the related common stock at the grant date exceeds the
exercise price of the option. In practice, we typically grant
options at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the
stock on the grant date, and, accordingly, we typically do not
recognize any expense upon the granting of an option.
Because we have elected this treatment, Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation,
(SFAS No. 123) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation Transition and
Disclosure (SFAS No. 148) require disclosure of
pro forma information which provides the effects on net income
and net income per share as if we had accounted for our employee
stock awards under the fair value method prescribed by
SFAS 123.
43
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
We estimated the fair value of our employee stock awards using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.99%, 2.47% and
2.34%; stock price volatility factors of 0.57, 0.86 and 1.22;
and expected option lives of 3.52 years, 2.16 years,
and 3.03 years. We do not have a history of paying
dividends, and none have been assumed in estimating the fair
value of the options. The weighted-average fair value per share
of options granted in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $4.13,
$4.43, and $4.27, respectively. A reconciliation of our actual
net income and net income per diluted common share to our pro
forma net income and net income per diluted common share using
the fair value method of accounting for stock options for fiscal
2006, 2005 and 2004 is as follows (in millions, except per share

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued a revision
to SFAS No. 123 (SFAS 123R) that requires
companies to include a compensation expense in their statements
of operations relating to the issuance of employee stock options
and other equity awards based on the grant date fair value of
the equity instrument. This change in accounting for stock
options will become effective for our fiscal year 2007 which
began March 1, 2006. We will implement SFAS 123R using
the modified prospective application. Under this approach, we
will apply the requirements of the statement to new awards and
to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after March 1,
2006. In addition, we will recognize compensation cost for the
portion of awards outstanding as of March 1, 2006 for which
service has not yet been rendered as of that date over the
remaining service periods of the awards.
We cannot predict the full impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R
at this time because the expense to be recognized will depend,
in part, on the amount of any share-based awards granted in the
future. For options granted prior to March 1, 2006 and
unvested as of February 28, 2006, we expect to recognize
compensation expense of approximately $4.5 million in
fiscal 2007. Had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the
impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of
SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure pro forma net
income and earnings per share shown above.
SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in
excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a
financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as
required under current literature. This requirement will reduce
net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows
in periods after adoption. We cannot estimate the future impact
of this change because it is dependent on, among other things,
when employees exercise stock options.

STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note C Acquisition of Edify Corporation
On December 30, 2005, we completed our acquisition of
Edify, a leading global supplier of interactive voice response
solutions, from S1 Corporation (S1). While Edify was
smaller in revenues and personnel than Intervoice, Edify
possessed a diverse customer base and marketing strengths that,
when added to the capabilities of Intervoice, allow the combined
company to enhance its position of leadership in the enterprise
voice self-service market. The merger is a taxable event and is
being accounted for as a purchase of a business. Our statement
of operations for fiscal 2006 reflects the results of operations
of Edify beginning December 31, 2005. The total purchase
price of $35.5 million is comprised of payments to S1 of
$34.1 million and estimated transaction costs of
$1.4 million. The allocation of the purchase consideration
is as follows (in millions):

The value assigned to separately identifiable intangible assets
is comprised of $4.0 million for developed technology with
an estimated useful life of five years, $2.5 million for
customer relationships with an estimated useful life of eight
years, and $0.3 million for trademarks and trade names with
an estimated useful life of eighteen months. We expect to
amortize these intangible assets on a straight line basis over
their respective estimated useful lives. See Note D. Of the
recorded goodwill of approximately $29.1 million,
approximately $19.5 million is expected to be deductible
for tax purposes.
The value assigned to deferred income reflects a reduction of
$1.3 million in the historical balance that was necessary
in order to record deferred income at fair value. This reduction
will serve to reduce income recognized in the first year
following the acquisition from that which would have been
recognized by Edify in the absence of the acquisition.
The accrued restructuring costs of $0.5 million are
comprised of severance and related costs associated with our
elimination of 19 Edify positions identified at the time of
the acquisition. We expect to pay this amount during fiscal 2007.

equipment and software account included approximately
$8.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in
capitalized costs associated with our SAP implementation. Such
costs will be depreciated over a five year estimated life.
Depreciation on approximately $2.6 million of the total
began during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as certain
elements of the SAP project were placed into service.
Depreciation on the remaining balance will begin in fiscal 2007
as additional components of the system are placed in service.

Letter of Credit Facility |
In February 2006, we terminated our existing line of credit and
entered into a new letter of credit line with the lender. The
letter of credit line provides that the lender will issue
letters of credit not to exceed the principal amount of
$2.0 million. At February 28, 2006, letters of credit
totaling approximately $0.2 million were outstanding. Each
draft paid by the lender will bear interest at a rate of
one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) above the prime rate. This
agreement contains certain representations and warranties,
certain negative and affirmative covenants, certain conditions
and events of default which are customarily required for similar
financing. As of February 28, 2006, we were in compliance
with all such covenants.
In January 2004, we entered into a credit agreement with a
lender which provided for a revolving line of credit equal to
the lesser of $5.5 million or a defined borrowing base
comprised of eligible U.S. accounts receivable and
$2.8 million held in a cash collateral account. The
agreement was amended August 17, 2004 to release us from
the obligation to maintain the cash collateral and to remove
such collateral from the borrowing base definition. Initial
borrowings under the revolving line of credit of
$4.6 million were used to retire indebtedness then
outstanding under an amortizing term loan. The credit agreement
contained terms, conditions and representations that are
generally customary for asset-based credit facilities including
requirements that we comply with certain financial and operating
covenants. Borrowings under the credit agreement were secured by
first liens on our accounts receivable, general intangibles,
equipment and inventory and by a first lien on the real property
and fixtures comprising our Dallas headquarters building and
fixtures.
In June 2004, we entered into an amended and restated credit
agreement with our lender that added an $8.0 million term
loan to our existing line of credit. We used the proceeds of the
new term loan to repay all amounts outstanding under a then
existing mortgage loan. We repaid the outstanding balance of the
term loan in full in March 2005. As described above, we
terminated the line of credit in February 2006.

We paid income taxes, net, of $0.6 million,
$4.6 million, and $0.8 million in fiscal 2006, 2005,
and 2004, respectively.
During fiscal 2003 and 2002, we incurred significant losses. As
a result, we were unable to conclude that it was more likely
than not that we would recognize the benefit of our net deferred
tax assets, and, accordingly, we established a valuation
allowance against such assets. For the three years ended
February 28, 2006, we have reported profits on both our
consolidated and U.S. operations. During those years, we
have used net operating losses and credits carried forward from
previous years and the reversal of certain temporary differences
to offset virtually all of our U.S. taxable income. The
reversal of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation
allowances offset the deferred tax expense we would otherwise
have incurred as a result of using the assets, and, as a result,
our overall effective tax rate for the years was substantially
less than the statutory rates.
Given this three year history of profitability and our belief
that we will continue to generate sufficient taxable income in
the future to realize the benefits of certain of our remaining
U.S. federal deferred tax assets, in February 2006 we
reversed an additional $4.4 million of valuation allowance
associated with such assets. We continued to provide valuation
allowances on certain foreign and state deferred tax assets and
on certain U.S. federal deferred tax assets that will
benefit equity if and when realized. These valuation allowances
are provided because of remaining uncertainty about the
realizability of such assets.
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the
AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA provides for a
deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. During the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2006, we elected to repatriate $10.3 million from
our U.K. subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of the AJCA. In
doing so, we incurred related income tax expense of
approximately $1.0 million.
During fiscal 2006, we resolved various tax contingencies
arising out of our U.S., U.K., German and MEA operations. The
resolution of all such items resulted in a $3.2 million
reduction in our tax expense for fiscal 2006 and was associated
with the completion of audits of certain of our international
tax returns and with the closing of certain tax periods due to
the passage of time. Tax expense for fiscal 2005 reflected the
benefit of a $0.9 million favorable tax settlement with a
foreign government reached during the year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Our U.S. taxable income for fiscal 2005 and 2004 included
distributions deemed to have been made to our U.S. company
by several of our foreign subsidiaries, including, particularly,
our U.K. subsidiary. Such deemed distributions stemmed from the
existence and ultimate settlement of intercompany debt, owed by
the U.S. entity to certain of its foreign subsidiaries and
from the pledging of certain U.K. assets as collateral for a
term loan that was outstanding for a portion of fiscal 2004.
Deferred taxes arise because we recognize the effect of certain
transactions in different periods for financial and tax
reporting purposes. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities were
comprised of the following significant components at
February 28, 2006 and 2005 (in millions):

At February 28, 2006, the net deferred income tax assets of
$4.1 million were presented in the balance sheet, based on
tax jurisdiction, as deferred income tax assets of
$4.4 million and deferred income tax liabilities of
$0.3 million.
At February 28, 2006, we had U.S. federal net
operating loss carryforwards totaling $9.3 million. This
amount, if not used, will expire beginning in fiscal 2021. All
of these federal net operating loss carryforwards arose from
employee stock option exercises. As a result, the realization of
such carryforwards when used to reduce federal tax payments in
fiscal 2007 and future years will increase equity and will not
reduce our tax provision for those years.
We do not provide for U.S. federal income taxes on
undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries
because, in the opinion of management, such earnings are
indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S. Should these
earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise,
we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes and
withholding taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions. As of
February 28, 2006 the unrecognized deferred income taxes on
these earnings was approximately $1.8 million.

Stockholders Equity |
Our shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan in July
2005. This plan encompasses all remaining shares available for
grant under all prior plans. As of February 28, 2006, we
had reserved 9,600,796 shares of common stock for issuance
under these plans, with 7,140,878 shares reserved for stock
options and restricted stock units outstanding at that date and
2,459,918 shares reserved for future grants. The
Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors controls the
granting of options and restricted stock units under the plan.
Option prices are set at the fair market value per share of
stock on the date of grant. Substantially all of the options
have a 7-year or
10-year term. Except
for options granted in July 2004 and July 2005, options
generally vest ratably over a 3 or 4 year period. Fifty
percent of the options granted in July 2004 vested on
February 28, 2005, and the remaining fifty percent will
vest in July 2007. Fifty percent of the options granted in July
2005 vested on February 28, 2006, and the remaining fifty
percent will vest in February 2009.

February 28, 2006 under the plans described above is as

Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
We also had stock option activity under our Employee Stock
Purchase Plan during fiscal 2005 and previous years. Under this
plan, options were granted to all eligible employees in
accordance with a formula prescribed by the plan and were
exercised automatically at the end of a one-year payroll
deduction period. The option price per share was 85% of the
lower of the fair market value on the grant date or the exercise
date. The option period consisted of the
12-month period
beginning January 1 and ending the following December 31.
Our employees exercised all options outstanding under this plan
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, and we subsequently
terminated the plan. There was no activity under this plan
during fiscal 2006. Activity under the plan during the two years
ended February 28, 2005 was as follows:

Preferred Share Purchase Rights |
One Preferred Share Purchase Right is attached to each
outstanding share of our common stock. The rights will become
exercisable upon the earlier to occur of ten days after the
first public announcement that a person or group has acquired
beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of our
outstanding common stock, or ten days after a person or group
announces a tender offer that would result in beneficial
ownership of 20 percent or more of our outstanding common
stock. At such time as the rights become exercisable, each right
will entitle its holder to purchase one eight-hundredth of a
share of Series A Preferred Stock for $37.50, subject to
adjustment. If we are acquired in a business combination
transaction while the rights are outstanding, each right will
entitle its holder to purchase for $37.50 common shares of the
acquiring company having a market value of $75. In addition, if
a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of
20 percent or more of our outstanding common stock, each
right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members
of such group) to purchase, for $37.50, a number of shares of
our common stock having a market value of $75. Furthermore, at
any time after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership
of 20 percent or more (but less than 50 percent) of
our outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors may, at its
option, exchange part or all of the rights (other than rights
held by the acquiring person or group) for shares of our common
stock on a one-for-one basis. At any time prior to the
acquisition of such a 20 percent position, we can redeem
each right for $0.00125. The Board of Directors is also
authorized to reduce the 20 percent thresholds referred to
above to not less than 10 percent if, in its judgment, it
is to Intervoices benefit to do so. The rights expire in
May 2011.
In connection with a sale of convertible notes during fiscal
2003, which notes were subsequently redeemed in full for cash
prior to the fiscal 2003 year end, we issued warrants to
the buyers. The warrants gave

$2.5 million to purchase the full 621,304 shares

We have historically made significant sales of solutions,
maintenance and managed services to O2. Such combined sales
accounted for 10% of our total sales during fiscal 2006, 2005
and 2004. There were no other customers accounting for 10% or
more of our sales during such periods. Of the total sales made
to O2, we recognized revenue totaling $8.3 million in
fiscal 2006 and $10.1 million in each of fiscal 2005 and
2004 under one long term managed services contract. The contract
expires in July 2006. We do not expect the contract to be
extended beyond that date.
Note O Concentrations of Credit Risk
We sell systems directly to end-users and distributors primarily
in the banking and financial, telecommunications, human
resource, and healthcare markets. Customers are dispersed across
different geographic areas,
57
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
primarily North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa,
Central and South America and the Pacific Rim. We extend credit
based on an evaluation of a customers financial condition,
and we generally require a deposit. We have made a provision for
credit losses in these financial statements.
Note P Employee Benefit Plan
We sponsor an employee savings plan in the United States which
qualifies under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. All full time employees who have completed one month of
service are eligible to participate in the plan. We match 50% of
employee contributions up to 6% of the employees eligible
compensation. We also sponsor a plan in the U.K. where our
contribution is based on the employees age and ranges from
5% to 9% of the employees base salary. Company
contributions under all plans totaled $1.9 million,
$1.8 million and $1.6 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively.
Note Q Contingencies
|
|
|
Intellectual Property Matters |
We provide our customers a qualified indemnity against the
infringement of third party intellectual property rights. From
time to time, various owners of patents and copyrighted works
send us or our customers letters alleging that our products do
or might infringe upon the owners intellectual property
rights, and/or suggesting that we or our customers should
negotiate a license or cross-license agreement with the owner.
Our policy is to never knowingly infringe upon any third
partys intellectual property rights. Accordingly, we
forward any such allegation or licensing request to our outside
legal counsel for their review and opinion. We generally attempt
to resolve any such matter by informing the owner of our
position concerning non-infringement or invalidity, and/or, if
appropriate, negotiating a license or cross-license agreement.
Even though we attempt to resolve these matters without
litigation, it is always possible that the owner of a patent or
copyrighted work will sue us. Although no such litigation is
currently pending against us, owners of patents and/or
copyrighted works have previously sued us alleging infringement
of their intellectual property rights. We currently have a
portfolio of 80 patents, and we have applied for and will
continue to apply for and receive a number of additional patents
to protect our technological innovations. We believe our patent
portfolio could allow us to assert counterclaims for
infringement against certain owners of intellectual property
rights if those owners were to sue us for infringement.
From time to time Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing L.P.
(RAKTL) has sent letters to certain of our customers
suggesting that the customer should negotiate a license
agreement to cover the practice of certain patents owned by
RAKTL. In the letters, RAKTL has alleged that certain of its
patents pertain to certain enhanced services offered by network
providers, including prepaid card and wireless services and
postpaid card services. RAKTL has further alleged that certain
of its patents pertain to certain call processing applications,
including applications for call centers that route calls using a
called partys DNIS identification number. As a result of
the correspondence, many of Intervoices customers have had
discussions, or are in discussions, with RAKTL.
We offer certain products that can be programmed and configured
to provide enhanced services to network providers and call
processing applications for call centers. Our contracts with
customers usually include a qualified obligation to indemnify
and defend customers against claims that products as delivered
by Intervoice infringe a third partys patent. None of our
customers has notified us that RAKTL has claimed that any
product provided by us infringes any claims of any RAKTL patent.
Accordingly, we have not been required to defend any customers
against a claim of infringement under a RAKTL patent. We have,
however, received letters from customers notifying us of the
efforts by RAKTL to license its patent portfolio and reminding
us of our potential obligations under the indemnification
provisions of our agreements in the event that a claim is
asserted. In response to correspondence from RAKTL, a few
customers have attempted to tender to us the defense of our
products under contractual indemnity provisions. We have
informed these
58
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
customers that while we fully intend to honor any contractual
indemnity provisions, we do not believe we currently have any
obligation to provide such a defense because RAKTL does not
appear to have made a claim that an Intervoice product infringes
a patent. Some of these customers have disagreed with us and
believe that the correspondence from RAKTL can be construed as
claims against Intervoice products.
Some of our customers have licensed certain rights under the
RAKTL patent portfolio. Two such customers who had previously
attempted to tender the defense of their products to us informed
us that they had entered into agreements to license certain
rights under the RAKTL patents and demanded we indemnify them
for unspecified amounts, including attorneys fees, paid in
connection with the license agreements. We notified these
customers that we believe we do not have any indemnity
obligation in connection with the license agreements. We have
received no further response from either customer.
A customer of ours is one of several companies sued on
July 19, 2005 by RAKTL in the case of Ronald A.
Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. v. Citibank, et al.;
No. 505CV 142, pending in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division. The
customer has not asserted that we are obligated to indemnify and
defend the customer in the lawsuit, but the customer has
notified us under the indemnity paragraph of their sales
agreement with us that the lawsuit could potentially impact one
or more of their agreements with us. A customer of our recently
acquired subsidiary, Edify, is also a defendant in the lawsuit
and has asserted that Edify is obligated to indemnify the
customer under the indemnity paragraph of its sales agreement.
Edify told the customer that it does not believe it has an
obligation to indemnify the customer in connection with the
lawsuit.
Even though no claims have been made that a specific product
offered by Intervoice infringes any claim under the RAKTL patent
portfolio, we have received opinions from our outside patent
counsel that certain products and applications we offer do not
infringe certain claims of the RAKTL patents. We have also
received opinions from our outside counsel that certain claims
under the RAKTL patent portfolio are invalid or unenforceable.
Furthermore, based on the reviews by outside counsel, we are not
aware of any valid and enforceable claims under the RAKTL
portfolio that are infringed by our products. If we do become
involved in litigation in connection with the RAKTL patent
portfolio, under a contractual indemnity or any other legal
theory, we intend to vigorously contest the claims and to assert
appropriate defenses.
We have received letters from Webley Systems
(Webley), a division of Parus Holdings, Inc.
(Parus), and its counsel alleging that certain
Webley patents cover one or more of our products and services.
In the letters, Parus offers a license to the Webley patents. As
a result of the correspondence, we conducted discussions with
Parus. Based on reviews by our outside counsel, we are not aware
of any valid and enforceable claims under the Webley patents
that are infringed by our products or services.
David Barrie, et al., on Behalf of Themselves and All
Others Similarly Situated v. InterVoice-Brite, Inc.,
et al.; No. 3-01CV1071-D, pending in the United
States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division:
Several related class action lawsuits were filed in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Texas on
behalf of purchasers of common stock of Intervoice during the
period from October 12, 1999 through June 6, 2000 (the
Class Period). Plaintiffs have filed claims,
which were consolidated into one proceeding, under
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 10b-5 against
us as well as certain named current and former officers and
directors of Intervoice on behalf of the alleged class members.
In the complaint, Plaintiffs claim that we and the named current
and former officers and directors issued false and misleading
statements during the Class Period concerning the financial
condition of Intervoice, the results of the merger with Brite
Voice
59
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Systems, Inc. and the alleged future business projections of
Intervoice. Plaintiffs have asserted that these alleged
statements resulted in artificially inflated stock prices.
We requested that the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas dismiss the complaint in its entirety
because the complaint lacked the degree of specificity and
factual support to meet the pleading standards applicable to
federal securities litigation. On August 8, 2002, the Court
entered an order granting our motion to dismiss the class action
lawsuit. In the order dismissing the lawsuit, the Court granted
Plaintiffs an opportunity to reinstate the lawsuit by filing an
amended complaint.
Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which the Court dismissed
on September 15, 2003. Plaintiffs appealed the District
Court decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On
January 12, 2005, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued
an opinion in which it affirmed, in part, the District
Courts order of dismissal. The Court of Appeals
opinion also reversed a limited number of issues in the District
Courts proceedings. On February 25, 2005, Intervoice
filed a motion for rehearing with the Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals requesting the Court to modify its opinion. On
May 12, 2005, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied our
petition for rehearing but modified its opinion to clarify the
Courts decision. The case has been remanded to the
District Court for further proceedings consistent with the Fifth
Circuits opinion. We believe that we and our officers and
directors complied with the securities laws and will continue to
vigorously defend the portions of the case that have been
remanded to the District Court.
Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on
February 3, 2006 and we filed an opposition to
Plaintiffs motion on March 20, 2006. Plaintiffs filed
a reply in further support of their motion for class
certification on April 10, 2006 and we petitioned the Court
for a hearing on the motion. Both parties are also in the
process of producing documents in response to requests for
discovery.
Daniel Wardiman, derivatively on behalf of Nominal Defendant,
Intervoice-Brite, Inc. v. Daniel D. Hammond et. al.,
pending in federal district court in Dallas, Texas (case no.
3-05CV2114-N):
One of our shareholders filed a shareholder derivative suit
against certain current and former directors and officers on
October 27, 2005. The suit alleges that these individuals
breached their fiduciary duties to Intervoice during the fiscal
year ended February 29, 2000 and during the first quarter
of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2001. The alleged
conduct is largely the same conduct that is the subject of the
Barrie class action lawsuit discussed above. The
shareholder filed the derivative suit after sending a letter,
previously disclosed by us, demanding that Intervoice file suit
against the defendants. We and the individual defendants believe
there are meritorious defenses to this suit.
We and defendants filed a motion on January 17, 2006 to
dismiss the suit because we believe the case is barred under the
applicable statutes of limitations. Plaintiff filed an
opposition to our motion on February 3, 2006 and we and
defendants filed a reply in support of our motion to dismiss on
February 27, 2006. The parties are currently awaiting a
ruling on the motion by the Court.

Audit Committee Investigation |
During fiscal 2005, our Audit Committee conducted an
investigation of certain transactions that occurred during our
fiscal years 2000 through 2002. The Audit Committee was assisted
in its investigation by separate independent legal counsel and a
national accounting firm. The Audit Committee reported the
results of its investigation to the SEC, and we are cooperating
with the SEC as it makes its own inquiries regarding the
transactions. We are currently providing documents to the SEC in
response to a subpoena requesting information about the
transactions, and several of our current and former officers and
non-officer employees have provided or are scheduled to provide
testimony to the SEC. Our Audit Committee and its counsel are
continuing to monitor our response to the SEC, and they also
have conducted a review of certain documents provided to the SEC
which we located after the Committees original
investigation. Intervoice is also honoring our obligation to
indemnify certain current and former officers and other
employees of Intervoice, including
60
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
our Chief Executive Officer and two other executive officers,
who received subpoenas to produce documents and provide
testimony to the SEC in connection with the investigation.
Furthermore, we are honoring our obligation to reimburse legal
fees incurred by certain recipients of the subpoenas.
The Audit Committee investigation found that we accounted for
certain transactions incorrectly during our fiscal years 2000
through 2002. The Audit Committee investigation concluded that a
$0.9 million payment made by Intervoice to a publicly held
supplier purportedly for certain prepaid licenses was linked to
an agreement to amend a 1997 warrant issued to us by the
supplier to permit our cashless exercise of the warrant. As a
result, we believe the $0.9 million payment should have
been recorded as a reduction in the $21.4 million gain we
recognized on the sale of the shares underlying the warrant
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and should not have
been recorded as prepaid license inventory. Our payment to the
supplier may have rendered unavailable a nonexclusive
registration exemption for the sale of the shares underlying the
warrant. The Audit Committee investigation also found that we
intentionally provided the same supplier false or misleading
documents for such supplier to use to support such
suppliers improper recognition of revenue in calendar 2001.
The Audit Committee investigation and review further found that
six of the seven customer sales transactions the Committee
investigated were accounted for incorrectly and that there was
intentional misconduct in at least one of those sales
transactions. These six transactions occurred at the end of
quarters in which we just met analysts expectations with
respect to earnings per share. The Audit Committee found that we
improperly recognized revenue in a quarter-end barter
transaction involving approximately 0.4% of annual revenues for
fiscal 2000, and that we improperly accelerated the recognition
of revenue in five quarter-end transactions totaling
approximately 0.4% and 0.3% of annual revenues in fiscal 2000
and fiscal 2002, respectively. We, two of our former officers
and the SEC have agreed that Intervoice and the officers will
not assert any defenses based on a statute of limitations with
respect to any future claims by the SEC concerning the two
transactions investigated by the Audit Committee that occurred
during February 2000. As a result of work performed in
responding to the SEC subpoena, the Committee has concluded that
Intervoice also improperly recognized approximately
$5.4 million of revenue in two sales transactions during
the second and third quarters of fiscal 2002 because the
transactions were subject to oral side agreements that gave our
customer expanded rights of return. We subsequently reversed the
$5.4 million of revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002 in connection with a return of the related systems. We are
providing documents to the SEC concerning these two additional
sales transactions pursuant to a separate subpoena. Separately,
the Audit Committee determined that in September 2001 one of our
current executive officers improperly communicated Intervoice
information to a shareholder.
Intervoices management has concluded, with the concurrence
of the Audit Committee and our external auditors, that
restatement of our prior period financial statements to adjust
for the findings of the Audit Committee investigation and review
is not necessary. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the
impact of the incorrect accounting on each of the periods
affected, the ages of the affected financial statements and the
lack of any material changes in prior period trends as a result
of the incorrect accounting. In addition, we noted that since
the date of the most recent transaction reviewed in the
investigation, we have restructured our business, made
significant management changes, consolidated our physical
operations, significantly reduced our fixed operating costs and
refinanced and repaid all of our major debt obligations. We
cannot predict whether we may have future losses relating to the
matters investigated by the Audit Committee as a result of
future claims, if any, including any claims by the government.
We are a defendant from time to time in lawsuits incidental to
our business. Based on currently available information, we
believe that resolution of the lawsuits and other matters
described above, is uncertain, and
61
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
there can be no assurance that future costs related to such
matters would not be material to our financial position or
results of operations.
We are a party to many routine contracts in which we provide
general indemnities and warranties in the normal course of
business to third parties for various risks. These indemnities
and warranties are discussed in the following paragraphs. Except
in specific circumstances where we have determined that the
likelihood of loss is probable and the amount of the loss
quantifiable, we have not recorded a liability for any of these
indemnities. In general, we are not able to estimate the
potential amount of any liability relating to these indemnities
and warranties.
Many of our contracts, particularly for managed services,
foreign contracts and contracts with telecommunication
companies, include provisions for the assessment of damages for
delayed project completion and/or for our failure to achieve
certain minimum service levels. We have had to pay damages in
the past and may have to pay additional damages in the future.
Any such future damages could be significant.
Our contracts with our customers generally contain qualified
indemnifications against third party claims relating to the
infringement of intellectual property as described in
Intellectual Property Matters above.
Our contracts with our customers also generally contain
warranties and, in some cases, general indemnifications against
other unspecified third party and general liability claims. We
have liability insurance protecting us against certain
obligations, primarily certain claims related to property
damage, that result from these indemnities.
We are obligated under letters of credit totaling approximately
$0.2 million issued by a bank to guarantee our performance
under a long-term international managed services contract and
related proposals. These letters of credit expire during fiscal
2007.
We have employment agreements with three executive officers and
two other officers. One agreement with an executive officer
requires us to make termination payments to the officer of one
and one-half times the officers annual base compensation
in the event the officers services are terminated without
cause or payments of up to 2.99 times the officers annual
compensation including bonuses in connection with a termination
of the officers services within a two year period
following a change in ownership of Intervoice, as defined in the
agreement. If the officer with such agreement were terminated
for one of the preceding reasons during fiscal 2007, we would
incur costs ranging from $0.6 million to $1.2 million.
The agreements with the other two executive officers require us
to make termination payments of one and one-half times the
officers annual base compensation in the event the
officers services are terminated without cause or payments
of up to two times the officers annual base compensation
including bonuses in connection with a termination of the
officers services within an 18 month period following
a change in ownership of Intervoice, as defined in the
agreements. If both of these officers were terminated for one of
the preceding reasons during the fiscal 2007, we would incur
costs ranging from $0.9 million to $1.2 million. The
remaining agreements with two officers provide for their
employment through December 2007. If we terminated these
officers prior to the expiration of their contracts, we would
owe them the greater of their compensation for the unexpired
term of the contracts or one-half of their annual compensation
under the contract. If these officers were terminated during
fiscal 2007, we would incur costs ranging from $0.3 million
to $0.7 million.
Under the terms of our Articles of Incorporation, we indemnify
our directors, officers, employees or agents or any other person
serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation in connection with a derivative suit if
he or she (1) is successful on the merits or otherwise or
(2) acted in good faith, and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. We will not provide
indemnification, however, for any claim as to which the person
was adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct unless the
court determines that under the circumstances the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. We provide
the same category of persons with indemnification in a
non-derivative suit only if such person (1) is successful
on the merits or
62
INTERVOICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
otherwise or (2) acted in good faith, and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reason to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. Under the terms of our Bylaws, we also
indemnify our current and former officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted or required under Article 2.02-1
of the Texas Business Corporation Act.
In connection with certain lawsuits filed against us and certain
of our present and former officers and directors (see
Pending Litigation above), we have agreed to pay in
advance any expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred
by such present and former officers and directors in defending
such litigation, in accordance with Article 2.02-1 of the
Texas Business Corporation Act and the Companys Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws. Each of these parties has provided
us with a written undertaking to repay us the expenses advanced
if the person is ultimately not entitled to indemnification.
We have a qualified obligation to indemnify certain current and
former officers and other employees of Intervoice in connection
with activities resulting from the Audit Committee investigation
and related SEC inquiries described in Audit Committee
Investigation above.
Texas corporations are authorized to obtain insurance to protect
officers and directors from certain liabilities, including
liabilities against which the corporation cannot indemnify its
officers and directors. We have obtained liability insurance for
our officers and directors as permitted by Article 2.02-1
of the Texas Business Corporation Act. Our insurance policies
provide coverage for losses and expenses incurred by us and our
current and former directors and officers in connection with
claims made under the federal securities laws. These policies,
however, exclude losses and expenses related to the Barrie class
action lawsuit, or to other litigation based on claims that are
substantially the same as those in the Barrie class action, and
contain other customary provisions to limit or exclude coverage
for certain losses and expenses.

Item 9. Changes in and
Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and
Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of
February 28, 2006. Based on that review and evaluation,
which included inquiries made to certain other employees, the
chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures,
as designed and implemented, are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms. Such officers also have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal
financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting. The management of Intervoice is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the
preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of February 28, 2006. In making
this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control Integrated
Framework. Based on this assessment, we believe that, as of
February 28, 2006, our internal control over financial
reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2006,
has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, the independent
registered public accounting firm that also audited our
consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Youngs
attestation report on managements assessment of our
internal control over financial reporting appears below.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other
Information

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Intervoice, Inc.
We have audited managements assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting, that Intervoice, Inc. maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
February 28, 2006, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the COSO criteria). Intervoice, Inc.s management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an
opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that Intervoice,
Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of February 28, 2006, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our
opinion, Intervoice, Inc. maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
February 28, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of Intervoice, Inc. as of
February 28, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
February 28, 2006. Our report dated May 9, 2006
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
