Citrix 2002 Annual Report

Mark B. Templeton President and CEO

Dear Citrix shareholders:

Every company has a story. 

More than just a sequence of events, it is a set of choices and responses, of
actions and reactions, that reveals who a company is, what it stands for, and
how it is likely to fare in the future.

The story of Citrix Systems began in 1989, when the company was founded
with the vision of simplifying information access. We could call this start-up
period our “Surviving” phase. Slowly, with determination and six years of
hard work, Citrix grew to 80 employees and $14.6 million in revenues.

Phase 2 of the Citrix story began with our IPO in December 1995 – the
“Thriving” phase. One of Fortune’s “100 Fastest-Growing Companies,” our
revenue increased by more than an order of magnitude in the next six years,
reaching $591.6 million in 2001. That put us in the top 10% by revenue of
all independent software vendors. We were a market leader in server-based
computing, with market share of 76.8%, according to market research firm
IDC.  Around the world, approximately 35 million people were relying on
Citrix for anytime, anywhere, any-device, any-connection access to the
on-demand enterprise.

Then came 2002 – an extremely difficult year for IT spending.

Last year was our most challenging year since we went public in 1995. The
first two quarters were especially tough. Clearly, we had entered a new phase
in our company story. It was time to regroup.

We assessed our business: A grand-slam product – Citrix® MetaFrame XPTM,
the most widely deployed presentation server in the world. A channel network
with thousands of global resellers, distributors, system integrators and other
partners in more than 100 countries, which had proven extremely effective in
driving broad adoption of Citrix technology. In fact, nearly 50 million people
in more than 120,000 organizations globally use Citrix today. And these cus-
tomers, based on our “world-class” loyalty rating of 94%, are very loyal indeed.

With a limited product line and a single go-to-market strategy, we had
achieved an extremely high customer presence, but had a long way to go in terms
of our penetration of these organizations. Herein lies the opportunity.  

We’ve seen the “Surviving” and the “Thriving” phases – now we’re in the
“Driving” phase. At mid-year, we took decisive actions to drive MetaFrame
standardization in our customer base.

Our new product strategy is to consolidate access infrastructure, historically
fragmented into “piece parts” provided by multiple vendors, into one com-
prehensive solution. The Citrix® MetaFrame® Access Suite is an integrated
access infrastructure solution that extends the core MetaFrame capabilities
across an expanding array of enterprise access requirements, including presen-
tation and application conferencing, device and network services, aggregation
and personalization, and security and identity management. 

It was just as important for us to diversify our go-to-market approaches as
it was our product set. We added a second sales model to our channel: a new
“high customer-touch” Enterprise Relationship Manager (ERM) program
designed to drive deeper relationships with our key customers.

Citrix 2002 Annual Report

We launched these changes in mid-2002, and in the third quarter returned
to revenue growth quarter-over-quarter. In the fourth quarter we saw an even
stronger gain in revenues, achieving one of our best quarters ever. But this
is the really important part: Six of our top ten fourth-quarter deals were 
re-orders, and eight of these top ten deals were greater than $500,000,
including three over $1 million. Looking at the entire year, the number of
deals greater than $500,000 in 2002 increased by 26% over 2001. We
believe that our customer relationships are starting to drive MetaFrame
standardization. 

Our market opportunity is large, and growing. An increasingly mobile, global
workforce needs access to the on-demand enterprise to make informed business
decisions faster, be more productive, and provide better customer service
from anywhere in the world. And companies need simpler and more cost-
effective ways to consolidate and manage enterprise IT resources. The inter-
section of these two intensifying market needs is our sweet spot. 

We think we have a great story – for our shareholders, our employees, our
business partners, and most of all for our customers. Though it’s still early,
this story has already revealed much about who we are, what we stand for, and
where we’re going. We are the global leader in enterprise access infrastructure.
We stand for enabling anytime, anywhere, any-device, any-connection access
to the on-demand enterprise. And as for where we’re going – our goal is to
surpass $1 billion, and we believe that will be only the beginning.

Thanks for your confidence and for joining us on this journey.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General

Citrix Systems, Inc. (""Citrix'' or the ""Company''), a Delaware corporation founded on April 17, 1989, is
a  leading  supplier  of  access  infrastructure  software  and  services  that  enable  the  eÅective  and  eÇcient
enterprise-wide deployment and management of applications and information, including those designed for
Microsoft» Windows» operating systems, for UNIX» operating systems, such as Sun SolarisTM, HP-UX or
IBM»  AIX»  (collectively  ""UNIX  operating  systems'')  and  for  Web-based  information  systems.  The
Company's MetaFrame» products permit organizations to provide secure access to Windows based, Web-
based and UNIX applications without regard to location, network connection, or type of client hardware
platforms. The Company markets and licenses its products through multiple channels such as value-added
resellers,  distributors,  system  integrators  and  independent  software  vendors,  managed  by  the  Company's
worldwide sales force. The Company also promotes its products through relationships with a wide variety of
industry participants, including Microsoft Corporation (""Microsoft'').

The Business Need for SimpliÑed Access to Information

Globalization, increasing worker mobility and computing devices and the expectation of ""instant'' results
set by the Internet have made it vital for businesses to supply users with fast, simple and secure access to
information  and  applications  so  that  they  can  work  eÅectively  from  anywhere,  on  any  type  of  device  or
network connection. However, enterprises face signiÑcant roadblocks to access, especially complexities and
incompatibilities among computing platforms and infrastructures, applications and communications protocols.
Demand  has  increased  for  systems  that  oÅer  users  a  standard,  consistent  interface  on  any  device,  fast
transmission of data over a variety of networks, and the ability to deliver applications and information securely
to local and remote users over public networks, especially the Internet. Some of the challenges to true virtual
access are:

‚ Mixed Application Environments. Many businesses today use a mix of application platforms, making
it diÇcult to deploy applications and information to all users. For example, deploying both UNIX and
Windows applications to a user may require separate devices or emulation software.

‚ Mixed Device Environments. The growing popularity of wireless and diverse information appliances is
adding to the wide array of client devices used in many enterprises. Such a mix of devices can cause
accessibility and support problems.

‚ Remote Users. The diversity of network connection types, protocols and transmission speeds limits
the ability of organizations to deploy Windows, UNIX, JavaTM and Web-based applications on a cost-
eÅective and eÇcient basis to remote users such as mobile workers, telecommuters and branch oÇce
personnel.

‚ Extended  Enterprise. The  extension  of  enterprise  information  systems  to  external  users,  such  as
suppliers, distributors and customers, creates application deployment issues that are outside the control
of information systems managers. These include the quality, performance and security of the network
connection, the client platform involved and the technical expertise of the external user.

‚ Internet  and  e-Business  Initiatives. With  the  global  adoption  of  the  Internet  and  the  drive  to
e-business, organizations need solutions for Web-enabling existing business applications without the
time and cost required for re-engineering so they can be quickly included in corporate portals, intranets,
extranets, and e-business infrastructures.

‚ Security. Delivering sensitive business information to remote users, especially over the Internet, raises

concerns about protecting data and ensuring privacy.

Enabling ""The On-Demand Enterprise''

Citrix aims to address these challenges by enabling any number of people, from anywhere in the world,
using  any  kind  of  computing  device,  over  any  network  connection,  to  access  the  on-demand  enterprise.

2

Citrix access infrastructure software enables workers to Ñnd, organize and interactively work with business
applications and information securely from virtually anywhere. At the same time, Citrix access infrastructure
software enables corporate information technology (""IT'') teams to centrally provide, manage and support
secure access to applications, including those designed for Windows, Web and UNIX operating systems, while
monitoring service quality, measuring resource usage and controlling access. Citrix» products and services
enable enterprise resources to be eÇciently and securely available ""on demand'' across the Internet, intranets,
extranets, wide area networks, local area networks and wireless networks to remote and mobile employees.

Citrix access infrastructure software enables organizations to reduce the costs of corporate computing,
increase employee productivity, gain Öexibility to technological change within their data centers, improve
resilience to business interruption and gain greater control over the quality of enterprise IT services.

The Citrix» Software Suite For Enterprise Resource Access

Citrix's  strategy  is  to  provide  an  integrated  suite  of  technologies,  products  and  services  that  allow

customers to achieve the following business solutions for enterprise resource access:

‚ Remote OÇce Connectivity. Citrix provides users in remote oÇces with what they need for maximum
productivity: full-featured access to virtually any application, quickly and with no compromise to the
user experience, and with consistent and reliable performance. Citrix's scalable server-based architec-
ture allows instant delivery of enterprise applications, which means new application or user provisioning
that  once  took  weeks  can  now  be  completed  in  minutes.  Companies  can  leverage  existing  IT
investments and extend their existing computing environments to oÇces nearly anywhere. And because
control is server-based, applications can be delivered and managed with speed, ease, and conÑdence
from a single reliable point.

‚ Application Deployment. Citrix provides a server-based system to streamline application delivery,
consolidate key corporate data and reduce the time and resources required to deploy, implement and
manage  a  full  range  of  business  applications  Ì  from  enterprise  resource  planning  and  customer
resource management to oÇce productivity software. Updates to client code occur on a centralized
server, reducing the impact on users and IT staÅ when market pressures force business processes to
change. New users and acquired companies can be quickly added to the application user base, leading
to near-immediate access and productivity. This solution Web-enables any existing Windows or UNIX
applications,  makes  Web-based  applications  more  eÇcient  and  easier  to  manage,  and  can  oÅer
substantial savings and improvements in security and stability.

‚ Workforce Mobility. Citrix access infrastructure software and services enhance workforce productiv-
ity by allowing virtually ""any location, any device, any network'' connectivity to full-featured enterprise
applications  and  information  without  the  need  to  download  data  provided  minimum  system  and
network  requirements  are  met.  With  Citrix  workforce  mobility  solutions,  mobile  professionals  can
access the same feature-rich software as their colleagues at headquarters. IT staÅs gain the ability to
centrally add and more easily support new users and applications as needs change. And corporate
leaders appreciate the cost eÅectiveness of enhanced performance and security provided by a system in
which applications and data reside safely on a centrally managed server with only mouse clicks and
screen refreshes crossing the network.

‚ Business  Continuity. Citrix  access  infrastructure  software  and  services  are  designed  to  deliver
uninterrupted  access  to  enterprise  applications  across  servers  when  a  sudden  information  system
interruption occurs. Citrix provides a vital component of a complete business continuity solution that
can reduce the impact of natural, accidental, or man-made disruptions to the business by securely
delivering  critical  applications  and  information  from  a  fail-over  data  center  not  aÅected  by  the
interruption. Files and applications are stored and managed centrally, giving users fast, easy and secure
Web-based access to the resources they need and freeing IT staÅs to focus on restoring corporate
systems rather than reinstalling individual desktops. Citrix technology can preserve employees' ability
to  access  corporate  information  from  alternative  locations,  enabling  the  organization  to  conduct
business without signiÑcant interruption.

Citrix Technology

Citrix products are based on a full range of industry-standard technologies. In addition, some Citrix
products  also  include  the  Company's  proprietary  technologies  known  as  the  Independent  Computing
Architecture (""ICA'') protocol, which allows an application's graphical user interface to be displayed on
virtually any client device while the application logic is executed on a central server. Because the ICA»
protocol moves client-based application processing to the server, this approach enables centralized manage-
ment of applications, users, servers, licenses and other system components for greater eÇciency and lower
cost.

The Company's ICA» technology also minimizes the amount of data traveling across a user's network as
only encrypted screen refreshes, keystrokes and mouse clicks are transported to and from the client device.
This increases remote access security, improves application performance and allows even wireless access to the
latest, most powerful applications and information.

The Citrix products are also based on the industry-standard Extensible Markup Language (""XML'').
Leveraging XML assures open systems interaction for customers regardless of data source or platform. And by
supporting XML, which is the standard for future Web services-based applications, Citrix helps customers get
from the client/server world of today to the Web services environments of tomorrow.

Citrix Products

The Company's products are marketed under the Citrix MetaFrame» brand and include MetaFrame 1.8
for Windows Terminal Server and the MetaFrame XPTM presentation servers and the MetaFrame Secure
Access Manager. Citrix MetaFrame products run primarily on Microsoft Windows server operating systems.
The Company also provides a MetaFrame presentation server that runs on UNIX operating systems. This
suite  of  infrastructure  software  and  services  enable  organizations  to  better  deploy,  manage  and  access
applications  across  the  extended  enterprise  to  a  variety  of  client  devices,  operating  platforms  or  network
connections.

The MetaFrame software suite includes two products that work together and can also be used separately.
These  products  are  licensed  with  software  subscription,  or  Citrix  Subscription  AdvantageTM,  oÅering
customers all updates, when and if they become available during the Ñrst year of their license.

‚ MetaFrame  Presentation  Servers. Citrix  MetaFrame  presentation  servers  are  available  for  both
Windows based applications and UNIX based applications. The MetaFrame XP presentation servers
for  Windows based  products  are  optimized  for  Windows  NT»,  Windows  2000  and  Windows  XP
applications.  These  servers  are  designed  to  support  large-scale  implementations  with  as  many  as
100,000 users on 1,000 or more servers. MetaFrame XP presentation server for Windows is oÅered in
three editions Ì MetaFrame XPs, MetaFrame XPa and MetaFrame XPe. Each edition is tailored to
speciÑc customer needs and computing environments.

‚ Citrix  MetaFrame  Secure  Access  Manager.

Introduced  in  June  2002  as  NFuse»  Elite,  Citrix
MetaFrame  Secure  Access  Manager  is  based  on  technology  acquired  from  Sequoia  Software
Corporation in April 2001. Citrix MetaFrame Secure Access Manager provides secure, single-point
access  over  the  Web  to  a  wide  range  of  internal  and  external  information  resources  including
applications, data resources, documents, Web content and services. With a powerful set of easy-to-use,
wizard-driven  conÑguration  tools,  information  technology  administrators  can  enable  browser-based
access to the entire enterprise Ì personalized to each user's needs, with secure connectivity over the
Web.

‚ Citrix Subscription Advantage. To provide customers with the easiest and most convenient way to
keep  their  Citrix  software  current,  the  Company  markets  software  under  the  Citrix  Subscription
Advantage brand for an additional fee. Citrix Subscription Advantage is the Company's terminology
for post-contract support (""PCS''). Citrix Subscription Advantage is an annual, renewable program
that provides subscribers with automatic delivery of software upgrades, enhancements and mainte-
nance releases when and if they become available during the term of their subscription.

4

Collectively,  these  products  accounted  for  approximately  89%,  86%,  and  85%  of  the  Company's  net

revenues in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Citrix» Services

Citrix provides a portfolio of technical services designed to allow the Company's end-customers and
entities with which it has a technology relationship to maximize the value of Citrix access infrastructure
software. These services are available as a feature of the Company's business-development program and are
available for additional fees to end-customers.

‚ Citrix  Consulting  ServicesTM  (""CCS''). The  objective  of  CCS  is  to  help  ensure  the  successful
implementation of Citrix technologies. Tested methodologies, certiÑed professionals and best practices
developed  from  real-world  experience  allow  CCS  to  provide  expert  guidance  and  support  to  our
partners  and  customers  to  maximize  the  eÅectiveness  of  their  total  application  server  computing
environment.

‚ Citrix Technical Support Services. To accommodate the unique ongoing support needs of customers,
preferred  support  services  are  speciÑcally  designed  to  address  the  variety  of  challenges  facing
application server software environments. Citrix oÅers Ñve support-level options, global coverage and
personalized relations management.

‚ Product Training & CertiÑcation. A series of courses are designed to allow customers and channel
members to learn new skills and eÅective strategies to help plan, implement and administer Citrix
products.  Students  may  attend  courses  at  one  of  over  300  Citrix  Authorized  Learning  CentersTM
(""CALC'') worldwide.

Services revenue accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's net revenues in 2002 and 7% in 2001

and 2000.

Citrix Customers

Citrix's  primary  target  markets  for  its  current  products  and  services  are  large  and  medium-sized
organizations in commercial, government and education sectors. Currently, Citrix has more than 120,000
customers worldwide, including 100% of the Fortune 100, 95% of the Fortune 500 and 95% of the Financial

The Company's software licenses are generally perpetual and are oÅered in both ""shrink wrapped'' and
electronic-based  forms.  The  Company  distributes  its  software  using  various  formats  including  traditional
""boxed''  packages  for  small  projects  and  customers,  and  electronically  downloaded  formats  for  its  large
projects and customers.

For medium to large-sized projects, which typically consist of large ""multi-server'' environments, the
Company  oÅers  electronic  volume-based  licensing  programs.  These  programs  provide  for  volume-based
licensing that allow usage of the Company's products both on a department or enterprise-wide basis. These
licenses include electronically delivered ""software activation keys'' that enable feature conÑguration ordered
by the customer. Depending on the license type and customer preference, the software media is delivered by a
channel distributor or directly by the Company. The Company has invested, and continues to invest, in large-
account  relationship  professionals,  license  fulÑllment  channels  and  entities  with  which  we  have  service-
oriented system integration relationships to assist these larger customers with broader usage of the Company's
software infrastructure.

These large-account selling investments have contributed to an increase in sales of MetaFrame software
under these electronically delivered volume-based licensing arrangements in 2002 as compared to 2001. For
the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, sales under volume-based licensing arrangements constituted

5

39% and 27%, respectively, of product sales, a portion of which has been deferred. The Company plans to hire
additional end-customer sales professionals to increase its marketing eÅorts aimed at large corporate accounts.

Technology Relationships

The Company has entered into a number of technology relationships to develop customer markets for its
products, broaden the use of the ICA protocol as an emerging industry standard technology for distributed
Windows and non Windows applications and to accelerate the development of its existing and future product
lines.

Microsoft. Since its inception, the Company has had a number of license agreements with Microsoft,
including  licenses  relating  to  Microsoft  OS/2,  Windows  3.x,  Windows  for  Workgroups,  Windows  NT,
Windows CE and Internet Explorer. These agreements have provided the Company with access to certain
Microsoft source and object code, technical support and other materials. The license agreements had an initial
term that expired in September 1994 and was subsequently extended until September 2001.

In May 1997, the Company entered into a Ñve-year joint license, development and marketing agreement
with Microsoft, (as amended, the ""Microsoft Development Agreement''), pursuant to which the Company
licensed its multi-user Windows NT extensions to Microsoft for inclusion in future versions of Windows NT
server software. Pursuant to the Microsoft Development Agreement, the Company's multi-user Windows NT
extensions technology was incorporated into Microsoft's NT Terminal Server, which was released in July
1998, and Windows 2000 Server, which was released in February 2000. Additionally, Microsoft agreed to
endorse only the Company's ICA protocol as the preferred way to provide multi-user Windows access for
devices other than Windows client devices, an obligation that expired in November 1999. Since November
1999, Microsoft has been permitted to market or endorse other methods to provide multi-user Windows access
to non-Windows client devices, and these methods compete with products of the Company. This agreement
with Microsoft expired in May 2002. See ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations Ì Overview,'' and ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations Ì Certain Factors Which May AÅect Future Results.''

In  May  2002,  the  Company  signed  an  agreement  with  Microsoft  to  formalize  continued  access  to
Microsoft Windows Server source code. Under this agreement, the Company will have access to source code
for Microsoft server operating systems from Windows 2000 Server and beyond, including access to terminal
services  source  code,  during  the  three-year  term  of  the  agreement.  This  agreement  does  not  provide  for
payments to or from Microsoft.

There can be no assurances that the Company's agreements with Microsoft will be extended or renewed
by Microsoft upon their respective expirations or that, if renewed or extended, such agreements will be on
terms favorable to the Company.

Additional Relationships. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had entered into approximately 130
ICA license agreements. Currently, more than 200 diÅerent devices incorporate Citrix ICA, ranging from
Linux  terminals  to  information  appliances,  such  as  wireless  phones  and  handheld  devices.  ICA  licensees
include Wyse Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Neoware, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp, Symbol
Technologies and Nokia, among others.

In addition, the Citrix Business AllianceTM (""CBA'') is a coalition of industry-leading companies from
across the IT spectrum who work with the Company to design and market complementary solutions for the
Company  and  CBA  customers.  By  the  end  of  2002,  CBA  membership  had  grown  to  approximately
1,200 members, including hardware, software, global and regional consulting alliances. CBA members include
Microsoft, Dell, IBM, EMC2, Hewlett-Packard, Siebel Systems, PeopleSoft, SAP AG, JD Edwards, Mercury
Interactive, Fujitsu, Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, Sun Microsystems and National Semiconductor.

Research and Development

The  Company  focuses  its  research  and  development  eÅorts  on  developing  new  products  and  core
technologies for its markets and further enhancing the functionality, reliability, performance and Öexibility of
existing products. The Company solicits extensive input concerning product development from users, both
directly from end-customers and indirectly through its channel distributors.

6

The Company believes that its software development team and core technologies represent a signiÑcant
competitive advantage for the Company. Included in the software development team is a group focused on
research activities that include prototyping ways to integrate emerging technologies and standards into the
Company's product oÅerings, such as emerging Web services technologies and Microsoft's new Windows
Server 2003 technologies. Other groups within the software development team have expertise in XML-based
software development, multi-tier Web-based application development and deployment, secure sockets layers-
based (""SSL'') secure access, and application ""sandbox'' technologies. The software development team also
includes a number of key employees who were instrumental in the release of Microsoft's Window's NT 4.0
Terminal Server Edition, have expertise in UNIX operating system environments (Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and
Linux), and were key members from the engineering team that developed the original version of OS/2 at
IBM. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred research and development expenses of approxi-
mately $68.9 million, $67.7 million and $50.6 million, respectively.

Sales, Marketing and Support

The Company markets and licenses its products through multiple channels worldwide, including value
added  resellers,  distributors,  System  Integrators  (""SI''s)  and  Independent  Software  Vendors  (""ISV''s),
managed  by  the  Company's  worldwide  sales  force.  The  Company  provides  training  and  certiÑcation  to
integrators, value-added resellers and consultants for a full-range of MetaFrame-based application deployment
and management solutions and services through its Citrix Solutions NetworkTM (""CSN'') program.

As  of  December  31,  2002,  the  Company  had  relationships  with  approximately  100  distributors  and
approximately 5,200 CSN providers worldwide. A number of entities with which the Company has channel
relationships provide additional end-customer sales channels for the Company's products under either a Citrix
brand or embedded in the licensee's own software product.

During  2002,  the  Company  took  steps  to  improve  the  eÅectiveness  of  its  channel  relationships.  The
Company  plans  to  continue  to  take  actions  to  strengthen  its  channel  relationships,  including  improving
channel  incentive  programs,  eliminating  non-performing  channel  relationships,  adding  new  members  with
expertise in selling into new vertical markets and forming additional relationships with global and regional SIs
and ISVs. SIs and ISVs are currently expected to become a more central part of Citrix's strategy in the
enterprise and government markets. New programs supporting each group were launched in 2002. The SI
program includes members such as IBM, HP, Computer Sciences Corporation, Electronic Data Systems
Corporation,  Schlumberger,  Siemens  and  Unisys.  The  ISV  program  has  a  strong  representation  across
industry verticals such as healthcare, telecom, Ñnancial, manufacturing, retail and government. Vendors in the
ISV program include Amdocs, Cerner, Dell, McKesson, Siemens Medical Health Solutions, Reynolds &
Reynolds and ESRI.

The Company's sales and marketing  organization actively  supports  its distributors and  resellers. The
Company's marketing department provides training, sales event support, sales collateral, advertising, direct
mail and public relations coverage to its indirect channels to aid in market development and in attracting new
customers. The Company's sales organization consists of Ñeld-based systems sales engineers and corporate
sales professionals. Additional sales personnel, based in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and
South  America,  support  these  Ñeld  personnel.  See  ""Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and  Results  of  Operations Ì Results  of  Operations''  and  Note  12  to  the  Company's  Notes  to
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  information  regarding  the  Company's  geographic  segments.  These
additional  sales  personnel  recruit  prospective  customers,  provide  technical  advice  with  respect  to  the
Company's products and work closely with key distributors and resellers of the Company's products. During
2002, the Company grew its end-customer sales force of sales professionals that work closely with medium and
large enterprise customers to achieve the appropriate combination of relationships for licensing, integration
and  consulting  to  meet  customers'  needs.  These  and  other  account  penetration  eÅorts  are  part  of  the
Company's strategy to increase the usage of Citrix software within the customer's IT organization.

The Company provides most of its distributors with product return rights only for the purpose of stock
balancing. These transactions are estimated and provided for at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue.
Stock balancing rights permit distributors to return products to the Company, subject to ordering an equal
dollar amount of other Citrix products. The Company is not obligated to accept product returns from its

7

distributors under any other conditions, unless the product item is defective in manufacture. Product items
returned to the Company under the stock-balancing program must be in new, unused and unopened condition.
The Company also provides most of its distributors with price protection rights. Price protection rights require
that the Company grant retroactive price adjustments for inventories of Citrix products held by distributors if
the Company lowers its prices for such products within a speciÑed time period. In the event that the Company
decides to reduce its prices, it will establish a reserve to cover exposure to distributor inventory. The Company
has not reduced and has no current plans to reduce the prices of its products for inventory currently held by
distributors or resellers.

The majority of the Company's service activities are related to post-sale technical support, pre- and post-
sale consulting and product training services. Post-sale technical support is oÅered through Citrix-operated
support centers located in the United States, Ireland and Australia. The Company provides technical advice to
channel distributors and entities with which the Company has a technology relationship, who act as the Ñrst
line of technical assistance for end-customers, in most cases. In some cases, end-customers can also choose
from a Citrix-delivered fee-based support program ranging from one-time incident charges to an enterprise-
level  support  agreement  covering  multiple  sites  and  servers.  In  addition,  the  Company  also  provides  free
technical advice through on-line support systems, including its Web-based ""Knowledge Center.'' For pre- and
post-sale consulting, Citrix Consulting Services (""CCS''), a consulting services organization, provides both
exploratory and fee-based consulting services. These services include on-site systems design and implementa-
tion services targeted primarily at enterprise-level clients with complex IT environments. The CCS organiza-
tion is also responsible for the development of best practice knowledge that is disseminated to businesses with
which  Citrix  has  a  business  relationship  and  end-customers  through  training  and  written  documentation.
Leveraging these best practices enables the Company's integration resellers to provide more complex systems,
reach new buyers within existing customer organizations and provide more sophisticated system proposals to
prospective  customers.  Training  services  in  selling  techniques  and  technical  expertise  areas  are  provided
through the Company's CALC program, which includes approximately 300 of the world's leading IT training
organizations. These training programs are designed for businesses and end-customers and include courses for
system administration and advanced system integration. CALCs are staÅed with instructors that have been
certiÑed by Citrix and teach their students using Citrix-developed courseware.

Operations

The Company controls all purchasing, inventory, scheduling, order processing and accounting functions
related  to  its  operations.  Production,  warehousing  and  shipping  are  performed  both  internally  and  by
independent contractors on a purchase order basis in the United States and in Ireland, depending upon the
customer's geographic market. Master software CD-ROMs, development of user manuals, packaging designs,
initial  product  quality  control  and  testing  are  performed  at  the  Company's  facilities.  In  some  cases,
independent contractors duplicate CD-ROMs, print documentation, and package and assemble product to the
Company's speciÑcations. To date, the Company has not experienced any material diÇculties or delays in the
manufacture and assembly of its products. Internal manufacturing capabilities and independent contractors
provide a redundant source of manufacture and assembly.

The Company generally ships products upon receipt of an order. As a result, the Company does not have
signiÑcant backlog at any given time, and does not consider backlog to be a signiÑcant indicator of future
performance.

Competition

The  Company  believes  that  other  software  companies  have  entered  or  could  enter  the  market  with
solutions that involve a similar approach to the Citrix access infrastructure software. In particular, Tarantella
Inc., GraphOn Corporation, Netilla Networks, Inc., and New Moon Systems, Inc. market products that claim
to have functions similar to those found in Citrix MetaFrame.

In addition, alternative products exist that directly or indirectly compete with the Company's products
and anticipated future product oÅerings. Existing or new products that extend Internet software to provide
database access or interactive computing could materially impact the Company's ability to sell its products in
this market. Competitors in this market include Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sun Microsystems and other makers

8

of  Web-application  software.  As  markets  for  the  Company's  products  continue  to  develop,  additional
companies, including companies with signiÑcant market presence in the computer hardware, software and
networking  industries  could  enter  the  markets  in  which  the  Company  competes  and  further  intensify
competition.  These  competitors  and  other  potential  competitors  often  have  signiÑcantly  greater  Ñnancial,
technical, sales, marketing, support and other resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to establish and maintain a market position in the face of increased competition.
Additionally, price competition could become more signiÑcant in the future; although the Company believes
that price has historically been a less signiÑcant competitive factor than product performance, reliability and
functionality. The Company may not be able to maintain its historic prices, which could adversely aÅect the
Company's business, results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

See ""Ì Technology Relationships'' and ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions
and Results of Operations Ì Certain Factors Which May AÅect Future Results.'' The announcement of the
release, and the actual release, of products competitive to the Company's existing and future product lines,
could cause existing and potential customers of the Company to postpone or cancel plans to license certain of
the Company's existing and future product oÅerings, which would adversely impact the Company's business,
results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

Proprietary Technology

The Company's success is dependent upon certain proprietary technologies and core intellectual property.
The Company has been awarded a number of domestic and foreign patents and has a number of pending
patent applications in the United States and foreign countries. The Company's technology is also protected
under copyright laws. However, patent protection and existing copyright laws aÅord only limited protection for
the Company's technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's
proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States. Accordingly, the Company also
relies  on  trade  secret  protection  and  conÑdentiality  and  proprietary  information  agreements  to  protect  its
proprietary technology. The Company has trademarks or registered trademarks in the United States and other
countries, including Citrix», ICA», MetaFrame», MetaFrameXPTM and the Citrix» logo. The loss of any
material  trade  secret,  trademark,  trade  name  or  copyright  could  have  a  material  adverse  eÅect  on  the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's eÅorts to protect its proprietary technology rights
will be successful. Despite the Company's precautions, it could be possible for unauthorized third parties to
copy certain portions of the Company's products or to obtain and use information that the Company regards as
proprietary. A signiÑcant portion of the Company's sales is derived from the licensing of Company packaged
products  under  ""shrink  wrap''  and  ""click-to-accept''  electronic  license  agreements  that  are  not  signed  by
licensees  and  volume-based  licensing  agreements  that  are  delivered  electronically,  all  of  which  could  be
unenforceable under the laws of many jurisdictions in which the Company licenses its products. Additionally,
third parties have asserted infringement claims against the Company and, as the number of products and
competitors in its industry segments increases and the functionality of these products overlap, the Company
could  become  increasingly  subject  to  infringement  claims.  Companies  and  inventors  are  more  frequently
seeking to patent software and business methods because of developments in the law that could extend the
ability  to  obtain  such  patents.  As  a  result,  the  Company  could  receive  more  patent  infringement  claims.
Responding to any infringement claim, regardless of its validity, could result in costly litigation or require the
Company to obtain a license to intellectual property rights of those third parties. Licenses may not be available
on reasonable terms or at all. In addition, attention to these claims could divert management's time and
attention from developing the Company's business. Although the Company does not believe that its products
infringe on the rights of third parties, if a successful claim is made against the Company and the Company
fails to develop or license a substitute technology, the Company's business, results of operations, Ñnancial
condition or cash Öows could be materially adversely aÅected.

While  the  Company's  competitive  position  could  be  aÅected  by  its  ability  to  protect  its  proprietary
information, the Company believes that because of the rapid pace of technological change in the industry,
factors such as the technical expertise, knowledge and innovative skill of the Company's management and
technical  personnel,  its  technology  relationships,  name  recognition,  the  timeliness  and  quality  of  support
services provided by the Company and its ability to rapidly develop, enhance and market software products

9

could be more signiÑcant in maintaining the Company's competitive position. See ""Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Ì Certain Factors Which May AÅect Future
Results.''

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately 1,670 employees. The Company believes its
relations  with  employees  are  good.  The  Company's  relations  with  its  French  employees  are  governed  by
certain labor regulations in the region.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The  Company's  corporate  oÇces  are  located  in  Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida.  The  Company  has  either
subleased or plans to sublease certain of the space in various buildings for the remainder of their respective
lease terms. The Company's corporate oÇces occupy leased and subleased oÇce space totaling approximately
390,000  square  feet,  including  leased  space  under  the  Company's  synthetic  lease.  For  more  information
regarding the Company's synthetic lease, see ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Ì Liquidity and Capital Resources'' and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.  In  addition,  the  Company  leases  approximately  139,000  square  feet  of  oÇce  space  in  other
locations in the United States and Canada.

The Company leases and subleases a total of approximately 238,000 square feet of oÇce space in various
other facilities in Europe, Latin America and the Asia PaciÑc region. In addition, the Company owns land and
buildings in the United Kingdom with approximately 48,000 square feet of oÇce space.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In February 2002, a stockholder Ñled a complaint (the ""Complaint'') in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware against the Company and certain of its current and former oÇcers and directors. The
Complaint purported to state a direct claim on behalf of a putative class of stockholders and a derivative claim
nominally on behalf of the Company for breach of Ñduciary duty based on the Company's alleged failure to
disclose all material information concerning the Company's business and operations in connection with a
proposal to be voted on at the Company's  annual  meeting of stockholders in May  2000. The Complaint
asserted claims similar to those alleged by such stockholder in a suit that was Ñled in September 2000, and
subsequently  voluntarily  dismissed  without  prejudice  in  July  2001.  The  Complaint  sought  compensatory
damages, rescission of the Company's 2000 Director and OÇcer Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and other
related relief. The parties have since agreed to a non-monetary settlement of the action not involving the
validity  of  the  2000  Director  and  OÇcer  Stock  Option  and  Incentive  Plan.  The  settlement  is  subject  to
approval by the court. A hearing on the approval of the settlement has not yet been scheduled.

In addition, the Company is a defendant in various matters of litigation generally arising out of the
normal course of business. Although it is diÇcult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management
believes,  based  on  discussions  with  counsel,  that  any  ultimate  liability  would  not  materially  aÅect  the
Company's Ñnancial position, result of operations or cash Öows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We develop, market, license and support access infrastructure software and services that enable eÅective
and eÇcient enterprise-wide deployment and management of applications and information, including those
designed  for  Microsoft  Windows  operating  systems,  for  UNIX  operating  systems,  such  as  Sun  Solaris,
HP-UX or IBM-AIX, or collectively UNIX operating systems, and for Web-based information systems. Our
largest source of revenue is the MetaFrame XPTM Presentation Server products. Our MetaFrame products,
which we began shipping in the second quarter of 1998, permit organizations to provide access to Windows
based, Web-based, and UNIX applications without regard to location, network connection or type of client
hardware platforms. We market and license our products through multiple channels such as value-added
resellers, distributors, system integrators and independent software vendors, managed by our worldwide sales
force.  We  also  promote  our  products  through  relationships  with  a  wide  variety  of  industry  participants,
including Microsoft Corporation.

In  May  1997,  we  entered  into  a  Ñve-year  joint  license,  development  and  marketing  agreement  with
Microsoft, which expired in May 2002. Under that agreement, or the Microsoft Development Agreement, we
licensed our multi-user Windows NT extensions to Microsoft for inclusion in certain versions of its Windows
NT server software. We recognized revenue from the Microsoft Development Agreement ratably over the
Ñve-year term of the contract in other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

In  May  2002,  we  signed  an  agreement  with  Microsoft  to  formalize  continued  access  to  Microsoft
Windows Server source code. Under this agreement, we will have access to source code for current and future
Microsoft  server  operating  systems  from  Windows  2000  Server  and  beyond,  including  access  to  terminal
services  source  code,  during  the  three-year  term  of  the  agreement.  This  agreement  does  not  provide  for
payments to or from Microsoft.

Acquisitions

We have acquired technology related to our strategic objectives. In April 2001, we acquired Sequoia
Software Corporation for $182.6 million in cash. Sequoia provided XML-based portal software. The Sequoia
technology is a core component of our MetaFrame Secure Access Manager software that was launched in
June 2002 as NFuse Elite.

In  February  2000,  we  acquired  all  of  the  operating  assets  of  Innovex  Group,  Inc.  for  approximately
$47.8 million. On the date of the acquisition, we paid approximately $28.9 million in cash, including closing
costs. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, we were required to pay the remaining purchase price,
plus interest, if certain events occurred. During 2001, these events occurred and, as a result, we paid the
remaining purchase price and the associated interest of $10.5 million in cash in August 2001 and $10.7 million
in cash in February 2002. We have no remaining contingent obligations.

We  accounted  for  these  acquisitions  under  the  purchase  method  of  accounting  in  accordance  with
Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 16, Accounting for Business Combinations. We allocated
the cost of the acquisitions to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values. Except for the Innovex acquisition, a portion of the acquired intangible assets were related to research
and development that had not reached technological feasibility and for which there was no alternative future
use.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our  discussion  and  analysis  of  Ñnancial  condition  and  results  of  operations  are  based  upon  our
consolidated  Ñnancial  statements,  which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these Ñnancial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that aÅect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base these estimates on our historical experience and on various

14

other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the
basis for our judgments concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments based on available information
and experience. Actual results could diÅer from our estimates under diÅerent assumptions and conditions. If
actual results signiÑcantly diÅer from our estimates, our Ñnancial condition and results of operations could be
materially impacted.

We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results
of operations and Ñnancial condition because they involve more signiÑcant judgments and estimates used in
the preparation of our consolidated Ñnancial statements. We have discussed the development, selection and
application of our critical accounting policies with the audit committee of our board of directors, and our audit
committee  has  reviewed  our  disclosure  relating  to  our  critical  accounting  policies  in  this  ""Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.''

Other signiÑcant accounting policies, primarily those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed
below, are also critical to understanding our consolidated Ñnancial statements. The notes to our consolidated
Ñnancial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in
conjunction with this discussion.

Cash Equivalents and Investments. The fair value of certain of our cash equivalents and investments is
dependent on the performance of the companies or funds in which we invest, including equity investments that
are accounted for under the cost method due to the limited extent of our ownership interest and lack of our
ability to exert signiÑcant inÖuence, and the volatility inherent in these investment markets. We periodically
evaluate the carrying value of our investments to determine if there has been any impairment of value that is
other-than-temporary, which would require us to write-down the investments. In assessing potential impair-
ment, we consider the extent to which recorded costs exceed market values, the duration of any decline in
market values and the forecasted Ñnancial performance of the issuers. During the year ended December 31,
2002, we recorded $1.3 million and during the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded $7.7 million of
write-downs  resulting  from  other-than-temporary  declines  in  fair  value  of  certain  of  our  investments.  At
December 31, 2002, we had $0.2 million in remaining equity investments classiÑed as long-term investments
in our consolidated balance sheet. For further information regarding risks related to our cash and investments
balances, see ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Ì
Liquidity and Capital Resources,'' ""Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk'' and note 2
to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

We rely on third party valuations in order to adjust the carrying value of certain of our investments and
derivative instruments to fair value at the end of each period. Fair values are based on valuation models that
use market quotes and, for certain investments, assumptions as to the creditworthiness of the entities issuing
those underlying investments.

At December 31, 2002, approximately $63 million in investment securities were pledged as collateral for
speciÑed obligations under our synthetic lease. In addition, at December 31, 2002, approximately $109 million
in investment securities were pledged as collateral for our credit default contracts. We maintain the ability to
manage the composition of the pledged investments and accordingly, these securities are not reÖected as
restricted investments in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For further information see notes 10
and 13 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Provision  for  Doubtful  Accounts  Receivable. Our  judgment  is  required  in  the  assessment  of  the
collectibility of our customer accounts and other receivables. We provide for potential uncollectible accounts
receivable  based  on  an  evaluation  of  customer  speciÑc  information,  historical  collection  experience  and
economic market conditions. If market conditions decline, or if the Ñnancial condition of our customers or
distributors deteriorates, actual collection experience may not meet our prior expectations and could result in
increased bad debt expenses. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $6.1 million at Decem-
ber 31, 2002 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2001. The increase during 2002 represents reserves based on
the Ñnancial condition of certain distributors, none of which are individually signiÑcant. In previous years our
bad debt write-oÅs have not been signiÑcant.

15

Long-lived Assets. The determination of the useful lives of our long-lived assets and whether an asset's
value is impaired involves signiÑcant judgment. These judgments include, but are not limited to obsolescence,
market conditions and contract life. Useful lives of internal use software, property and equipment are generally
from three to seven years. We depreciate buildings over a 40-year period.

We review for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identiÑable intangible assets to be held and
used whenever we believe that events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not fully recover the
carrying amount of such assets. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future
cash  Öows  resulting  from  the  use  of  the  asset  and  its  eventual  disposition.  We  base  measurement  of  an
impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identiÑable intangible assets that our management expects to
hold and use on the fair value of the asset. We report long-lived assets and certain identiÑable intangible assets
to be disposed of at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value minus the costs to sell such assets. During
2002, we recognized $2.0 million in asset impairment charges primarily due to the consolidation of certain of
our oÇces that resulted in the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements. As of December 31, 2002, we
have determined that there were no other triggering events requiring additional impairment analysis.

EÅective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which establishes a single accounting model
for  the  impairment  or  disposal  of  long-lived  assets,  including  discontinued  operations.  SFAS  No.  144
supersedes SFAS No. 121 and APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Ì Reporting the
EÅects  of  Disposal  of  a  Segment  of  a  Business,  and  Extraordinary,  Unusual  and  Infrequently  Occurring
Events and Transactions. Our adoption of these policies did not have a material impact on our consolidated
results of operations and Ñnancial position.

Core  and  Product  Technology  Assets. We  review  acquired  core  and  product  technology  assets  for
impairment on a periodic basis by comparing the estimated net realizable value to the unamortized cost of the
technology. The core and product technology assets acquired in our Sequoia acquisition form the basis for our
MetaFrame Secure Access Manager product, launched in June 2002 as NFuse Elite. The recoverability of
this technology is primarily dependent upon our ability to commercialize these products. The estimated net
realizable value of the purchased Sequoia technology is based on the estimated undiscounted future cash Öows
associated with our MetaFrame Secure Access Manager. Our revenues are forecasted based on data received
from pilot evaluations and early adopters, rate projections on our installed customer base, and estimates from
our sales channels and end-customer sales force. Our assumptions about future revenues and expenses require
signiÑcant judgment associated with the forecast of MetaFrame Secure Access Manager. Due to the lack of
historical  data  related  to  MetaFrame  Secure  Access  Manager,  actual  revenues  and  costs  could  vary
signiÑcantly from these forecasted amounts. As of December 31, 2002, we estimated that the net realizable
value of these core and product technology assets is greater than the $24.5 million unamortized cost of these
assets. If these products are not ultimately accepted by our channel or entities with which we have technology
relationships or customers, and there is no alternative future use for this technology, we could determine that
some or all of the remaining $24.5 million carrying value of the related core and product technology assets are
impaired. In the event of impairment, we could be required to incur a charge to earnings that could have a
material adverse eÅect on our results of operations.

Goodwill  and  Other  Intangibles. At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  $152.4  million  in  indeÑnite  lived
goodwill and other intangibles primarily related to our acquisition of Sequoia. We operate in a single market
consisting of the design, development, marketing and support of access infrastructure software and services for
enterprise applications. Our revenues are derived from sales in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and
Africa,  or  EMEA,  and  Asia-PaciÑc  regions.  These  three  geographic  regions  constitute  our  reportable
segments.  See  note  12  to  our  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  for  additional  information  regarding  our
geographic segments. We evaluate goodwill along these geographic segments. Substantially all of our goodwill
at December 31, 2002 was associated with our Americas reportable segment.

On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result of
adopting SFAS No. 142, our goodwill and certain intangible assets are no longer amortized but are subject to
an annual impairment test. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill with a net book

16

value at January 1, 2002 of $152.4 million, including $10.1 million of acquired workforce previously classiÑed
as purchased intangible assets. Excluding goodwill, we have no intangible assets deemed to have indeÑnite
lives.

We use judgment in assessing goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed
for impairment annually, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
could exceed fair value. Fair values are based on discounted cash Öows using a discount rate determined by our
management to be consistent with industry discount rates and the risks inherent in our current business model.
As of December 31, 2002, we concluded that we could realize our goodwill and other intangibles based upon
projected discounted cash Öows. Due to uncertain market conditions and potential changes in our strategy and
product portfolio, it is possible that the forecasts we use to support our goodwill and other intangible assets
could change in the future, which could result in non-cash charges that would adversely aÅect our results of
operations and Ñnancial condition.

Current  and  Deferred  Tax  Assets. We  are  required  to  estimate  our  income  taxes  in  each  of  the
jurisdictions in which we operate as part of the process of preparing our consolidated Ñnancial statements. We
determined the $55.1 million carrying value of our net deferred tax assets based upon certain estimates and
assumptions, including the assumption that we will be able to generate enough future tax deductions in certain
tax jurisdictions. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, we could be required to record
valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expenses.

Revenue Recognition. The accounting related to revenue recognition in the software industry is complex
and aÅected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are
subject to change. As a result, revenue recognition accounting rules require us to make signiÑcant judgments.
In addition, our judgment is required in assessing the probability of collection, which is generally based on
evaluation of customer speciÑc information, historical collection experience and economic market conditions.

We market and license software products through value-added resellers, channel distributors, system
integrators and independent software vendors, managed by our worldwide sales force. Our software licenses
are  generally  perpetual,  and  are  delivered  by  means  of  traditional  packaged  products  and  electronically,
typically under volume-based licensing programs. Our packaged products are typically purchased by medium
and  small-sized  businesses  with  fewer  locations  and  the  software  license  is  delivered  with  the  packaged
product.

Volume-based license arrangements are used with more complex multi-server environments typically
found in larger business enterprises that deploy our products on a department or enterprise-wide basis, which
could  require  diÅerences  in  product  features  and  functionality  at  various  customer  locations.  The  end-
customer license agreement with enterprise customers is typically customized based on these factors. Once we
receive a purchase order from the channel distributor, the volume-based licenses are electronically delivered to
the  customer  with  ""software  activation  keys''  that  enable  the  feature  conÑguration  ordered  by  the  end-
customer.  Depending  on  the  size  of  the  enterprise,  software  may  be  delivered  indirectly  by  the  channel
distributor or directly by us pursuant to a purchase order from the channel distributor.

We recognize revenue when it is earned. Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the
American Institute of CertiÑed Public Accountants Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2 (as amended by SOP
98-4 and SOP 98-9) and related interpretations, Software Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when
all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and
we have no remaining obligations; the fee is Ñxed or determinable; and collectibility is probable. We deÑne
these four criteria as follows:

‚ Persuasive  evidence  of  the  arrangement  exists.  We  recognize  revenue  on  packaged  product  upon
shipment  to  distributors  and  resellers.  For  packaged  product  sales,  it  is  our  customary  practice  to
require a purchase order from distributors who have previously negotiated a master packaged product
distribution or resale agreement. For volume-based licensing, we typically require a purchase order
from the distributor or reseller and an executed standard software license agreement from the end-
customer. We require a purchase order for training and services.

17

‚ Delivery has occurred and we have no remaining obligations. Our standard delivery method is free-on-
board shipping point. Consequently, we consider delivery of our packaged product to have occurred
when  the  products  are  shipped  to  distributors  pursuant  to  an  agreement  and  purchase  order.  We
consider delivery of licenses under electronic licensing agreements to have occurred when the related
products are shipped and the end-customer has been electronically provided with the licenses that
include the activation keys that allow the end-customer to take immediate possession of the software.
For training and service revenue recognition, we fulÑll our obligation when the services are performed.

‚ The fee is Ñxed or determinable. In the normal course of business, we do not provide end-customers
the right to a refund of any portion of their license fees or extended payment terms. When we sell our
software products separately, we determine vendor speciÑc objective evidence, or VSOE, by the price
charged  for  each  product.  In  software  arrangements  that  include  the  rights  to  multiple  software
products,  post-contract  customer  support,  or  PCS,  and/or  other  services,  we  allocate  the  total
arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables
based on VSOE. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of each undelivered element based
on VSOE, we defer revenue until all elements are delivered, all services have been performed, or until
fair value can be objectively determined.

‚ Collectibility is probable. We determine collectibility on a customer-by-customer basis. We typically
sell to distributors or resellers for whom there are histories of successful collection. New customers are
subject to a credit review process that evaluates the customers' Ñnancial position and ultimately their
ability to pay. Customers are subject to an ongoing credit review process. If we determine from the
outset of an arrangement that collectibility is not probable, we defer revenue recognition until customer
payment  is  received  and  the  other  parameters  of  revenue  recognition  described  above  have  been
achieved. Our judgment is required in assessing the probability of collection, which is generally based
on evaluation of customer speciÑc information, historical experience and economic market conditions.
If  market  conditions  decline,  or,  if  the  Ñnancial  condition  of  our  distributors  or  end-customers
deteriorates, we may be unable to determine that collectibility is probable, and we could be required to
defer the recognition of revenues until we receive customer payment.

For certain software products that are only sold bundled with PCS, we allocate revenue to the delivered
software product using the residual method. Under the residual method, we do not sell the software products
separately and thus we are generally unable to determine VSOE of fair value for the product. Therefore, we
allocate discounts inherent in the arrangement entirely to the software product and the portion of the fee
initially allocated to PCS and deferred is generally higher than in arrangements with established VSOE for the
software  product.  Depending  on  future  product  releases  or  changes  in  customer  demand,  we  may  oÅer
additional products that are only sold bundled with PCS. If we do this, the use of the residual method will
become more prevalent, which could impact the timing of our revenue recognition since more of the sales
proceeds would be allocated to the PCS portion of the arrangement and recognized over the PCS period. We
also  sell  PCS  separately  through  our  Citrix  Subscription  Advantage  renewal  program,  and  we  determine
VSOE  by  the  renewal  price  charged.  We  base  technical  service  and  PCS  revenues  from  customer
maintenance fees for ongoing customer support and product updates and upgrades on the price charged or
derived value of the undelivered elements and are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is
typically  12  to  24  months.  We  include  technical  service  revenues  in  net  revenues  in  the  consolidated
statements of income.

In the normal course of business, we do not permit product returns, but we do provide most of our
distributors and value added resellers with stock balancing and price protection rights. Stock balancing rights
permit distributors to return products to us, subject to ordering an equal dollar amount of our products. Price
protection rights require that we grant retroactive price adjustments for inventories of our products held by
distributors or resellers if we lower our prices for such products. We establish provisions for estimated returns
for  stock  balancing  and  price  protection  rights,  as  well  as  other  sales  allowances,  concurrently  with  the
recognition  of  revenue.  The  provisions  are  established  based  upon  consideration  of  a  variety  of  factors,
including, among other things, historical return rates for both speciÑc products and distributors, estimated
distributor  inventory  levels  by  product,  the  impact  of  any  new  product  releases  and  projected  economic
conditions. Actual product returns for stock balancing and price protection provisions incurred are, however,

18

dependent upon future events, including the amount of stock balancing activity by our distributors and the
level of distributor inventories at the time of any price adjustments. We continually monitor the factors that
inÖuence  the  pricing  of  our  products  and  distributor  inventory  levels  and  makes  adjustments  to  these
provisions when we believe actual returns and other allowances could diÅer from established reserves. Our
ability to recognize revenues upon shipment to our distributors is predicated on our ability to reliably estimate
future product returns and rotation. If actual return experience or changes in market condition impairs our
ability to estimate returns and rotation, we would be required to defer the recognition of revenue until the
delivery of the product to the end-user customer. Allowances for estimated product returns amounted to
approximately $10.5 million at December 31, 2002 and $8.3 million at December 31, 2001. We have not
reduced and have no current plans to reduce our prices for inventory currently held by distributors or resellers.
Accordingly, there were no reserves required for price protection at December 31, 2002 or 2001. We record
estimated  reductions  to  revenue  for  customer  programs  and  incentive  oÅerings  including  volume-based
incentives. If market conditions were to decline, we could take actions to increase our customer incentive
oÅerings and possibly result in an incremental reduction to our revenue at the time the incentive is oÅered.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
deÑnes a fair value method of accounting for issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the
fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies
are  not  required  to  adopt  the  fair  value  method  of  accounting  for  employee  stock-based  transactions.
Companies are permitted to account for such transactions under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, but are required to disclose in a note to the consolidated Ñnancial statements pro forma
net income and per share amounts as if a company had applied the methods prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

We  apply  APB  Opinion  No.  25  and  related  interpretations,  which  do  not  require  us  to  recognize
compensation cost, in accounting for stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors, and we
have complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. Except for non-employee directors, we
have not granted any options to non-employees. For further information regarding our stock option plans, see
note 6 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

The  following  discussion  relating  to  the  individual  Ñnancial  statement  captions,  our  overall  Ñnancial
performance,  operations  and  Ñnancial  position  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  factors  and  events
described in ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Ì
Overview'' and ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Ì
Certain Factors Which May AÅect Future Results'' which could impact our future performance and Ñnancial
position.

Net  Revenues. Our  operations  consist  of  the  design,  development,  marketing  and  support  of  access
infrastructure  software  and  services  that  enable  eÅective  and  eÇcient  enterprise-wide  deployment  and
management of applications and information.

We present net revenues in the following three categories outlined below: License Revenue, Technical
Services Revenue, and Royalty Revenue. License Revenue primarily represents fees related to the licensing of
our MetaFrame products, Subscription Advantage (our terminology for PCS), additional user licenses and
management  products  (such  as  load  balancing  and  resource  management  products).  Technical  Services
Revenue consists primarily of technical support services, product training and certiÑcation, and consulting
services  related  to  implementation  of  our  software  products.  We  recognize  Technical  Services  and  PCS
revenues from customer maintenance fees or ongoing customer support ratably over the term of the contract,
which is typically 12 to 24 months. Royalty Revenue represents the fees recognized in connection with the
Microsoft Development Agreement, which expired in May 2002.

The decrease in net revenues in 2002 was due primarily to a decrease in the number of MetaFrame
licenses  sold,  which  resulted  from  a  decrease  in  packaged  product  sales  due  to  an  overall  weakness  in
information technology spending and a reduction in packaged product inventory held by our distributors. In
the near term, we do not anticipate further material reductions in packaged product inventory held by our
distributors.  The  decrease  in  packaged  product  sales  was  partially  oÅset  by  an  increase  in  volume-based
licensing sales, mainly to medium and large customers. In addition, the decrease in net revenue also resulted

20

from a signiÑcant decline in Royalty Revenue due to the expiration of the Microsoft Development Agreement
in May 2002.

The  increase  in  net  revenues  in  2001  was  primarily  attributable  to  an  increase  in  License  Revenue
resulting  from  an  increase  in  the  number  of  MetaFrame  licenses  sold  for  Windows  operating  systems,
speciÑcally due to market acceptance of our MetaFrame XP access infrastructure software introduced in
February 2001. The increase in net revenues in 2001 also resulted from an increase in Technical Services
Revenue  due  primarily  to  an  increase  in  larger  scale  volume-based  licensing  arrangements  that  typically
require professional services to ensure successful implementation of our technologies.

Deferred  revenues  as  of  December  31,  2002  primarily  related  to  Citrix  Subscription  Advantage  and
Technical Services revenues. Excluding those deferred revenues associated with the Microsoft Development
Agreement,  deferred  Citrix  Subscription  Advantage  and  Technical  Services  Revenues  increased  approxi-
mately $32 million as compared to December 31, 2001. This increase was due primarily to increased renewals
of Citrix Subscription Advantage.

International  and  Segment  Revenues.

International  revenues  (sales  outside  of  the  United  States)
accounted for approximately 53.7% of our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002, 48.0% of our
net  revenues  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2001,  and  40.3%  of  our  net  revenues  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2000. During 2002, the signiÑcant increase in our international revenues as a percentage of net
revenues was primarily due to a weakness in packaged product sales in the United States and the expiration of
the Microsoft Development Agreement in May 2002. During 2001, the signiÑcant increase in our international
revenues as a percentage of net revenues was primarily the result of increased sales and marketing eÅorts and
continued demand for our products in Europe and Asia, as well as the economic impact of slower information
technology spending in the United States during 2001. We expect that the diÇcult economic conditions that
existed in 2002 will persist in 2003.

(1) Our Americas segment is comprised of the United States, Canada and Latin America.

(2) DeÑned as Europe, Middle East and Africa.

(3) Represents royalty fees in connection with the Microsoft Development Agreement, which expired during May 2002.

With respect to our geographic segment revenues, the decrease in net revenues during 2002 as compared
to 2001 was due primarily to the factors mentioned above, as well as a decline in packaged product sales in
Europe. During 2001, revenues notably increased in our Asia-PaciÑc segment, particularly due to increased

21

sales in Japan, and in our EMEA segment, particularly due to increased sales in Europe. For additional
information on international revenues, please refer to note 12 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consisted primarily of the cost of royalties, product media and
duplication, manuals, packaging materials and shipping expense. Cost of revenues also consisted of compensa-
tion and other personnel-related costs of providing consulting services. We expensed all development costs
incurred in connection with the Microsoft Development Agreement as incurred in cost of other revenues. Our
cost of revenues excludes amortization of core technology, which is shown as a component of amortization
expense in our consolidated statements of income. During 2001, we implemented a new enterprise resource
planning  system.  As  a  result  of  this  implementation,  we  have  an  enhanced  ability  to  obtain  information
regarding  personnel-related  costs  of  providing  consulting  services  revenues.  The  decrease  in  the  cost  of
revenues for 2002 as compared to 2001, is primarily attributable to our ability to identify certain non-revenue
generating services expenses and classify such costs as operating expenses. Volume-based license sales are
typically fulÑlled with a nominal level of product media and the licenses are delivered electronically. The cost
of fulÑlling such sales is less than traditional packaged product sales, thereby reducing costs of revenues as a
percentage of revenue.

The increase in cost of revenues for 2001 was due to an overall increase in our packaged product sales and
increases in compensation and other costs of providing services revenues. These increases were oÅset in part
by a reduction of the level of inventory necessary to fulÑll customer orders due to increased market acceptance
of volume-based licenses.

Gross Margin. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 96.4% for 2002, 95.0% for 2001 and 93.8% for
2000. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to the
decrease in cost of revenues as discussed above. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue
from 2000 to 2001 was primarily due to larger reserves for obsolete inventory recorded in 2000. To a lesser
extent, the increase in gross margin during 2001 was also due to an increase in volume-based licensing, as
discussed above. We currently anticipate that in the next 12 months, gross margin as a percentage of net
revenues will remain relatively unchanged as compared with current levels. However, gross margin could
Öuctuate from time to time based on a number of factors attributable to the cost of revenues as described
above.

As further discussed below, during 2002 we reduced our worldwide workforce by approximately 10%
(approximately  200  employees)  and  consolidated  certain  functions  from  our  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah  and
Columbia,  Maryland  facilities  into  our  Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida  facility.  As  a  result  of  such  actions,  we
incurred expenses of approximately $10.9 million, primarily for severance and related facility expenses, of
which approximately $7.0 million were included in research and development expenses, $2.8 million were
included in sales, marketing and support expenses and $1.1 million were included in general and administra-
tive  expenses.  We  currently  expect  that  increases  in  insurance  premiums  and  higher  foreign  currency
expenses, impacted by a weaker dollar exchange rate, and investments in new products, will oÅset savings
from these actions.

Research  and  Development  Expenses. Research  and  development  expenses  consisted  primarily  of
personnel-related costs. We expensed all development costs included in the research and development of
software products and enhancements to existing products as incurred except for core technologies acquired.
Research  and  development  expenses  increased  during  2002  primarily  from  an  increase  in  staÇng  and
associated salaries that primarily related to the Sequoia acquisition in the second quarter of 2001, additional
costs  for  severance  for  the  worldwide  workforce  reduction,  and  relocation  and  facility  related  charges
associated with the consolidation of our Salt Lake City, Utah and Columbia, Maryland development teams
into our remaining engineering facilities during 2002. These increases were partially oÅset by a reduction in
costs for third party software, external consultants and developers and a decrease in personnel costs due to the
worldwide workforce reduction.

Research  and  development  expenses  increased  in  2001  primarily  from  additional  staÇng,  associated
salaries and related expenses. The increase in 2001 was also due to costs incurred for third party software and

22

external consultants and developers used to expand and enhance our product lines, including feature releases
of MetaFrame and research and development eÅorts on anticipated future product oÅerings.

Sales, Marketing and Support Expenses. Sales, marketing and support expenses increased during 2002
primarily from additional end-customer sales personnel hired during 2001 and 2002 particularly for medium to
large customers, an increase in staÇng and associated salaries related to the Sequoia acquisition during 2001,
and severance charges associated with our worldwide workforce reduction. To a lesser extent, the reallocation
of  certain  non-revenue  generating  services  expense  from  cost  of  revenues  to  operating  expenses  also
contributed to the increase. The increase was partially oÅset by a reduction in marketing costs due to a refocus
in marketing programs spending based on the current operating environment, and the reallocation of certain
overhead expenses to other departments, primarily depreciation expense to certain general and administrative
cost centers.

Sales, marketing and support expenses increased in 2001 primarily from increased personnel for sales,
services  and  marketing  and  associated  salaries,  commissions  and  related  expenses  focused  on  our  sales,
consulting and marketing eÅorts. Included in such marketing eÅorts in 2001 was the expansion of our end-
customer sales force in connection with marketing to large corporate enterprise accounts. The increase was
also due to a higher level of marketing programs directed at customer and business partner acquisition and
retention, and additional promotional activities related to speciÑc products, such as MetaFrame XP introduced
in February 2001.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased in 2002 primarily
from  a  reallocation  of  certain  overhead  expenses  from  other  departments  to  general  and  administrative
expenses, primarily depreciation expense from certain sales, marketing and support cost centers into certain
general and administrative cost centers.

General and administrative expenses increased in 2001 primarily from increased staÅ, associated salaries
and related expenses necessary to support overall increases in the scope of our operations. The increase during
2001 also resulted from increased depreciation from our enterprise resource planning system implemented in
2001, as well as the reallocation of certain overhead costs from other departments into certain general and
administrative cost centers and an increase in consulting and accounting fees.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Under the new rules, we no longer amortize goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indeÑnite lives but subject them to an annual impairment test. At the date of adoption, we had unamortized
goodwill, including acquired workforce, in the amount of $152.4 million, which is no longer amortized. The
decrease in amortization of intangible assets during 2002 was substantially due to the adoption of SFAS
No. 142. Other intangibles of $36.6 million at January 1, 2002 continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
As of December 31, 2002, we had unamortized identiÑed intangible assets with estimable useful lives in the
net  amount  of  $30.8  million.  We  recorded  $11.3  million  during  2002  and  $48.8  million,  during  2001  in
amortization expense.

In  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  142,  we  completed  the  required  impairment  tests  of  goodwill  and
indeÑnite-lived intangible assets at the date of adoption and again during the fourth quarter of 2002. There
were no impairment charges recorded as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 or impairment tests. See
""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Ì Certain Factors
Which May AÅect Future Results.''

The increase in amortization of goodwill and identiÑable intangible assets in 2001 was primarily due to
our acquisition of Sequoia in April 2001. This acquisition resulted in additional goodwill and identiÑable
intangible assets of approximately $169.9 million at the date of acquisition. Additionally, for 2001, the increase
was also due to additional goodwill of approximately $16.2 million associated with contingent purchase price
payments related to the acquisition of Innovex.

In-Process Research and Development.

In April 2001, we acquired Sequoia, of which $2.6 million of the
purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development, or IPR&D. The amounts allocated to

23

IPR&D had not yet reached technological feasibility, had no alternative future use and were written oÅ at the
time of the acquisition. There were no write-oÅs of IPR&D during 2002.

Write-Down of Technology. We periodically review our Ñnite lived intangible assets to determine if any
impairment exists. In June 1998, we completed the acquisition of APM Ltd., or APM. The acquired core
technology  consisted  primarily  of  a  Java  software  product  that  would  operate  in  a  MetaFrame  server
environment. At the time of the acquisition, we anticipated that there would be a growing demand for Java
client applications. After the acquisition, the market did not develop as we originally anticipated. In the second
quarter of 2000, we changed the Java application server product to a Java Performance Pack product, which
adds performance enhancements and management tools to our other products. By the fourth quarter of 2000,
we had developed a Java Performance Pack and had assessed the market demand for this technology. As of
December 31, 2000, we did not believe that there were suÇcient projected cash Öows to support the net book
value of the core technology associated with the APM acquisition. In addition, we determined that there was
no alternative future use for the acquired technology. As a result, we recorded a write-down of $7.3 million,
representing the net book value of the APM core technology as of December 31, 2000.

In July 1998, we completed the acquisition of VDOnet Corporation Ltd., or VDOnet. The acquired core
technology  consisted  primarily  of  the  ICA  Video  Services  project,  which  allowed  video  applications  and
applications containing videos to be viewed on an ICA client. Subsequent development eÅorts resulted in the
VideoFrameTM 1.0 product, which shipped in the third quarter of 1999, but resulted in few sales to end-
customers. After the acquisition, we explored alternative uses for the acquired technology. By the third quarter
of 2000, we had explored uses related primarily to delivering video applications in a server-based computing
environment and video streaming with ICA devices. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we reviewed potential
modiÑcations to our cash Öow projections based on identiÑed alternative uses for the technology. As a result of
our evaluation, we did not believe that there were suÇcient projected cash Öows to support the carrying value
of the core technology. As a result, we recorded a write-down of $1.8 million, representing the net book value
of the VDOnet core technology as of December 31, 2000.

Interest Income.

Interest income decreased during 2002 primarily due to a decrease in interest rates.
During 2002, we terminated an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $174.6 million and in
December 2002, we sold the investments underlying this swap agreement. As a result, the decrease in interest
income during 2002 was partially oÅset by interest income of approximately $3.4 million recognized as a result
of the termination of this interest rate swap and the hedging relationship. For more information see ""Liquidity
and Capital Resources'' and note 13 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Interest income increased in 2001 as  compared to 2000  principally from our  decision to change  the
composition  of  our  investment  portfolio  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2000  from  tax-exempt  and  taxable  to
predominantly taxable securities, partially oÅset by a decrease in interest rates during 2001.

Interest Expense. The decrease in interest expense for 2002 as compared to 2001 was due primarily to

interest expense incurred during 2001 on contingent payments associated with the Innovex acquisition.

The increase in interest expense for 2001 as compared to 2000 was primarily due to interest on contingent
payments associated with the Innovex acquisition, as well as the accretion of the original issue discount related
to the zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures issued in March 1999.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net is primarily comprised of other-than-temporary declines in the
value of our equity investments and realized gains (losses) on the sale of available-for-sale investments, as
well as, remeasurement and foreign currency transaction gains (losses). The increase in other expense, net for
2002 as compared to other expense, net in 2001 was the result of $2.1 million of losses from other-than-
temporary declines in the fair value of certain of our equity investments and realized losses on the sale of
available-for-sale securities, as well as approximately $1.1 million in remeasurement and foreign currency
transaction losses.

The change in other expense, net for 2001 as compared to other expense, net for 2000 was the result of
$7.7 million of losses recorded in 2001 resulting from other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of certain
of  our  equity  investments,  as  well  as  approximately  $2.4  million  in  remeasurement  and  foreign  currency

24

transaction  losses  partially  oÅset  by  realized  gains  of  $8.0  million  associated  with  purchases  and  sales  of
available-for-sale securities and associated contracts.

Income  Taxes. The  decrease  in  the  eÅective  tax  rate  from  31%  in  2001  to  17%  in  2002  was  due
primarily to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, pursuant to which amortization of goodwill, which previously
increased taxable income in the determination of our eÅective tax rate, ceased. The reduction in the tax rate
was also due to higher tax credits related to our foreign operations and research and development, and the
cessation of revenues from the Microsoft Development Agreement, which expired in May 2002.

The increase in the eÅective tax rate from 30% in 2000 to 31% in 2001 resulted primarily from non-
deductible goodwill associated with the acquisition of Sequoia oÅset in part by a rate decrease resulting from
increased foreign earnings which were taxed at lower foreign tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2002, we generated positive operating cash Öows of $187.1 million. These cash Öows related
primarily to net income of $93.9 million, adjusted for, among other things, tax beneÑts from the exercise of
non-statutory stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options of $25.7 million, non-cash
charges, including depreciation and amortization expenses of $41.4 million, provisions for product returns of
$25.3 million (primarily due to our stock rotation program) and the accretion of original issue discount and
amortization  of  Ñnancing  costs  on  our  convertible  subordinated  debentures  of  $17.7  million.  These  cash
inÖows were partially oÅset by an aggregate decrease in cash Öow from our operating assets and liabilities of
$16.9 million. Our investing activities provided $0.1 million of cash consisting primarily of the net proceeds,
after reinvestment, from sales and maturities of investments of $29.0 million, oÅset by the expenditure of
$19.1 million for the purchase of property and equipment and net cash paid for acquisitions (a contingent
payment resulting from the February 2000 Innovex acquisition) of approximately $10.7 million. Our Ñnancing
activities used cash of $184.2 million related primarily to the expenditure of $192.1 million for the stock and
debt repurchase programs, partially oÅset by the proceeds received from employee stock compensation plans
and the sale of put warrants of $8.0 million.

During 2001, we generated positive operating cash Öows of $229.8 million. These cash Öows related
primarily to net income of $105.3 million, adjusted for, among other things, tax beneÑts from the exercise of
non-statutory stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options of $28.0 million, non-cash
charges, including depreciation and amortization expenses of $79.6 million, provisions for product returns of
$22.5 million (primarily due to our stock rotation program) and the accretion of original issue discount and
amortization  of  Ñnancing  costs  on  our  convertible  subordinated  debentures  of  $17.9  million.  These  cash
inÖows were partially oÅset by an aggregate decrease in cash Öow from our operating assets and liabilities of
$38.3 million. Our investing activities used $382.2 million of cash consisting primarily of net cash paid for
acquisitions (primarily in connection with the acquisition of Sequoia) of $183.8 million, the net purchase of
investments  of  $137.9  million  and  $60.6  million  for  our  purchase  of  property  and  equipment  and  costs
associated with our enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system implementation. Approximately $12.0 mil-
lion was capitalized through December 31, 2001, related to our ERP system. We used $83.0 million in cash in
Ñnancing  activities  related  primarily  to  our  expenditure  of  $210.2  million  for  stock  repurchase  programs,
partially oÅset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock compensation
plans of $117.4 million and $12.0 million generated from premiums received upon the sale of put warrants.

Cash and Investments

As of December 31, 2002, we had $719.4 million in cash and investments, including $142.7 million in
cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we had $186.4 million in working capital at December 31, 2002. The
$27.3  million  decrease  in  cash  and  investments  as  compared  to  December  31,  2001,  is  due  primarily  to
continued common stock and debt repurchases, capital expenditures and a contingent acquisition payment as
discussed above, partially oÅset by positive cash Öow from operations. We generally invest our cash and cash
equivalents in investment grade, highly liquid securities to allow for Öexibility in the event of immediate cash

25

needs. Our short and long-term investments, other than $0.2 million of equity investments, consist of interest
bearing securities.

In December 2000, we invested $158.1 million in a trust managed by an investment advisor. The purpose
of the trust is to maintain suÇcient liquidity in the event that our debentures are redeemed in March 2004.
Our investment in the trust matures on March 22, 2004, and comprises all of the trust's assets. The trust's
assets primarily consist of AAA-rated zero-coupon corporate securities. The trust entered into a credit risk
swap agreement with the investment advisor, which eÅectively increased the yield on the trust's assets and for
which value the trust assumed the credit risk of ten investment-grade companies. The eÅective yield of the
trust, including the credit risk swap agreement, is 6.72% and the principal balance will accrete to $195 million
in March 2004. Therefore, beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2003, we will classify the investment
as a short-term investment in our consolidated balance sheet to reÖect the amount that will be due within one
year of the balance sheet date. We record our investment in the trust and the underlying investments and swap
as  held-to-maturity  zero-coupon  corporate  security  in  our  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements.  We  do  not
recognize changes in the fair value of the held-to-maturity investment unless a decline in the fair value of the
trust is other-than-temporary, in which case we would recognize a loss in earnings. Our investment is at risk to
the extent that one of the underlying corporate securities has a credit event resulting in non-payment to the
counterparty that may include bankruptcy, dissolution, or insolvency of the issuers. There have been no losses
associated with the trust's underlying corporate securities to date. The amortized cost of our investment in the
trust was approximately $180.4 million at December 31, 2002 and $169.0 million at December 31, 2001,
which we classiÑed as long-term corporate investments in our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31,
2002, the fair value of the trust's assets was $180.2 million.

In addition, we have invested in other instruments with similar credit risk features. This means that these
investments are at risk to the extent that the entities issuing the underlying corporate securities have credit
events above speciÑed amounts that result in a loss to the counterparty. There have been no credit events
associated  with  the  entities  issuing  the  underlying  corporate  securities  to  date.  For  more  information  see
notes 4 and 13 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

In  November  2001,  we  entered  into  an  interest  rate  swap  agreement  with  a  notional  amount  of
approximately $174.6 million. The interest rate swap agreement eÅectively converted a like amount of Öoating
rate  notes  in  our  investment  portfolio  to  a  synthetic  zero  coupon  investment  due  in  March  2004  with  a
maturity  value  of  approximately  $190  million.  In  October  2002,  we  terminated  this  interest  rate  swap
agreement. Upon termination, we received a cash payment of $9.2 million as settlement under the swap
agreement, and gained approximately $2.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of
taxes.  We  previously  accounted  for  the  interest  rate  swap  as  a  cash  Öow  hedge  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of SFAS No. 133. During December 2002, certain investments underlying the swap were sold, and
hedge accounting was terminated and the associated other comprehensive income was recognized through
earnings.

Accounts Receivable, Net

At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $69.5 million in accounts receivable, net of allowances.
The modest increase in accounts receivable as compared to 2001 is primarily attributed to an increase in sales
in the Asia-PaciÑc region for the fourth quarter of 2002 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2001, partially
oÅset by an increase in worldwide allowances. From time to time, we could maintain individually signiÑcant
accounts  receivable  balances  from  our  distributors  or  customers,  which  are  comprised  of  large  business
enterprises, governments and small and medium-sized businesses. If the Ñnancial condition of our distributors
or customers deteriorates, our operating results could be adversely aÅected. One such distributor accounted for
approximately 7% of gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2002. In 2001, this distributor accounted
for 14% of gross accounts receivable. During these periods, no other distributor or customer accounted for
more than 10% of accounts receivable.

Convertible Subordinated Debentures

In  March  1999,  we  sold  $850  million  principal  amount  at  maturity  of  our  zero  coupon  convertible
subordinated debentures due in March 2019, in a private placement. The debentures were priced with a yield
to maturity of 5.25%. Our net proceeds were approximately $291.9 million, net of original issue discount and
net of debt issuance costs of $9.6 million. Except under limited circumstances, we will pay no interest prior to
maturity. The security holders can convert the debentures at any time on or before the maturity date at a
conversion rate of 14.0612 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events. We can redeem the debentures on or after March 22,
2004, and the holders of the debentures can require us to repurchase the debentures on Ñxed dates and at set
redemption prices (equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount) beginning on March 22, 2004.
Accordingly, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2003, we will classify the debentures as a current
liability on our consolidated balance sheet to reÖect the amount that will be payable on demand within one
year of the balance sheet date. We will maintain suÇcient liquidity in the event that holders of the debentures
require us to redeem or we elect to repurchase the debentures.

In October 2000, our board of directors approved a program authorizing us to spend up to $25 million to
repurchase debentures in open market purchases. Additionally, in April 2002 our board of directors granted us
the additional authority to repurchase up to $100 million in debentures through private transactions, bringing
our total repurchase authority up to $125 million. As of December 31, 2002, we have repurchased 76,000 units
for approximately $29.9 million, which represents $76.0 million in principal amount at maturity. During 2002,
we  adopted  SFAS  No.  145,  Rescission  of  FASB  Statements  No.  4,  44,  and  64,  Amendment  of  FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections earlier than required, and therefore we recorded an operating
gain  of  approximately  $1.6  million  during  2002  as  a  result  of  our  debenture  repurchases.  The  board  of
directors' limited authorization to repurchase the debentures allows us to repurchase debentures when market
conditions are favorable.

In  December  2000,  we  invested  $158.1  million  in  investments  accounted  for  as  held-to-maturity
corporate securities to maintain suÇcient liquidity in the event that our debentures are redeemed in March
2004. Based on the $195.0 million expected maturity value of the investments in March 2004, the proceeds of
the investments will be suÇcient to fund the redemption of approximately 55% of the debentures, if required.
We  believe  that  we  will  have  suÇcient  cash  and  investments  to  fund  the  redemption  of  the  remaining
debentures in 2004, if required.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our board of directors has authorized $600 million of repurchase authority under our stock repurchase
program, in order to manage actual and anticipated dilution. We record all repurchased shares as treasury
stock.

We are authorized to make open market purchases of our common stock using general corporate funds.
During  2002,  we  purchased  9,300,000  shares  of  outstanding  common  stock  on  the  open  market  for
approximately $75.7 million (at an average per share price of $8.14).

From time to time, we enter into arrangements with Ñnancial institutions as part of our share repurchase

program in order to lower our average cost to acquire shares. These arrangements are described below.

We were party to two agreements, executed during 2001 and 2000, with a large Ñnancial institution, to
purchase approximately 7.3 million shares of our common stock at various times in private transactions. Under
the terms of the agreements, we paid this institution an aggregate of $150 million, with the ultimate number of
shares repurchased dependent on market conditions. In May 2002, the agreements were terminated and, upon
termination, we received 3.0 million of the remaining shares. We received a total of 7,209,286 shares pursuant
to  these  agreements.  During  2002,  we  entered  into  a  new  agreement,  as  amended,  with  this  Ñnancial
institution in a private transaction to purchase up to 3.8 million shares of our common stock at various times
through February 2003. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid $25 million to this institution during
the third quarter of 2002. During 2002, we received 2,655,469 shares under this agreement with a total value of

27

$18.5 million. The agreement matured in February 2003 and we received 390,830 of the remaining shares with
a total value of $6.5 million.

During 2002, we entered into two private structured stock repurchase transactions with a large Ñnancial
institution. Under the terms of the Ñrst agreement and in exchange for an up front payment of $25 million, we
were entitled to receive shares of our common stock or a predetermined cash amount at the expiration of the
agreement  dependent  upon  the  closing  price  of  our  common  stock  at  maturity.  Upon  expiration  of  the
agreement in December 2002, we received approximately $29.3 million in cash. Under the terms of the second
agreement and in exchange for an up front payment of $25 million, we are entitled to receive approximately
2.2 million shares of our common stock or a predetermined cash amount at expiration of the agreement in
March 2003. The form of settlement at maturity of the second transaction will be dependent upon the closing
market price of our common stock.

We sell put warrants that entitle the holder of each warrant to sell to us, generally by physical delivery,
one share of our common stock at a speciÑed price. During 2002, we sold 2,300,000 put warrants at an average
strike price of $11.10 and received premium proceeds of $3.3 million. During 2002, we paid $42.9 million for
the purchase of 2,050,000 shares upon the exercise of outstanding put warrants, and 600,000 put warrants
expired unexercised. As of December 31, 2002, 950,000 put warrants with exercise prices ranging from $7.18
to  $12.58  were  outstanding,  and  expired  on  various  dates  between  January  and  March  2003.  As  of
December 31, 2002, we had a total potential repurchase obligation of approximately $9.9 million associated
with  the  outstanding  put  warrants,  of  which  $7.3  million  is  classiÑed  as  a  put  warrant  obligation  on  our
consolidated  balance  sheet.  The  remaining  $2.6  million  of  outstanding  put  warrants  permit  a  net-share
settlement at our option and are not recorded as a put warrant obligation in our consolidated balance sheet.
The outstanding put warrants classiÑed as a put warrant obligation in our consolidated balance sheet will be
reclassiÑed to stockholders' equity when the warrant is exercised or when it expires. Under the terms of the put
warrant agreements, we must maintain certain levels of cash and investment balances. As of December 31,
2002, we were in compliance with those required levels.

In  December  2002,  we  entered  into  an  agreement  with  a  counterparty,  which  required  that  the
counterparty sell to us up to 1,560,000 shares of our common stock at Ñxed prices if our common stock trades
at designated levels between December 16, 2002 and January 23, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, we had a
potential remaining repurchase obligation associated with this agreement of approximately $9.1 million, which
is classiÑed as common stock subject to repurchase in our consolidated balance sheet. During January 2003,
this agreement expired and no shares were repurchased.

We  expended  an  aggregate  of  $161.1  million  during  2002  and  $198.2  million  during  2001,  net  of
premiums received under all stock repurchase transactions. Since inception of our stock repurchase programs,
the average cost of shares acquired was $16.41 per share compared to an average close price during open
trading windows of $20.26 per share. Due to the fact that the amount of certain shares received will not be
determined until contract maturity, these per share amounts exclude up front payments under structured stock
repurchase contracts that had a maturity subsequent to December 31, 2002.

Commitments

In  April  2002,  we  entered  into  a  synthetic  lease  with  a  substantive  lessor  totaling  approximately
$61.0 million for our corporate headquarters oÇce space in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The synthetic lease
represents a form of oÅ-balance sheet Ñnancing under which an unrelated third party lessor funded 100% of
the costs of acquiring the property and leases the asset to us. The synthetic lease qualiÑes as an operating lease
for accounting purposes and as a Ñnancing lease for tax purposes. We do not include the property or the lease
debt as an asset or a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Consequently, we include payments made
pursuant to the lease as operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income. We entered into the
synthetic  lease  in  order  to  lease  our  headquarters  properties  under  more  favorable  terms  than  under  our
previous lease arrangements.

The initial term of the synthetic lease is seven years. Upon approval by the lessor, we can renew the lease
twice for additional two-year periods. The lease payments vary based on the London Interbank OÅered Rate,

28

or LIBOR, plus a margin. At any time during the lease term, we have the option to sublease the property, and
upon thirty-days' written notice, we have the option to purchase the property for an amount representing the
original property cost and transaction fees of approximately $61.0 million plus any lease breakage costs and
outstanding amounts owed. Upon at least 180 days notice prior to the termination of the initial lease term, we
have the option to remarket the property for sale to a third party. If we choose not to purchase the property at
the end of the lease term, we have guaranteed a residual value to the lessor of approximately $51.9 million and
possession of the buildings will be returned to the lessor. If the fair value of the building were to decline below
$51.9 million, we would have to make up the diÅerence under our residual value guarantee, which could have
a material adverse eÅect on our results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

The synthetic lease includes certain Ñnancial covenants including a requirement for us to maintain a
pledged balance of approximately $63.0 million in cash and/or investment securities as collateral. We manage
the composition of the pledged investments and investment earnings are available for operating purposes.
Additionally, we must maintain a minimum cash and investment balance of $100.0 million, excluding our
debentures, collateralized investments and equity investments, as of the end of each Ñscal quarter. As of
December 31, 2002, we had approximately $113.5 million in cash and investments in excess of those required
levels. The synthetic lease includes non-Ñnancial covenants including the maintenance of the properties and
adequate insurance, prompt delivery of Ñnancial statements to the lender of the lessor and prompt payment of
taxes  associated  with  the  properties.  As  of  December  31,  2002  we  were  in  compliance  with  all  material
provisions of the arrangement.

Estimated  future  payments  due  under  this  lease  are  $1.4  million  for  2003,  $2.6  million  for  2004,
$3.6 million for 2005, $3.7 for 2006 million and $3.7 million for 2007. Estimated lease payments thereafter
total $4.8 million. We have subleased to other entities some of our leased real property under the synthetic
lease.

We lease a signiÑcant portion of our worldwide facilities under non-cancelable operating leases. Future
payments due under these non-cancelable operating leases are $18.2 million for the year ending December 31,
2003, $15.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2004, $15.2 million for the year ending December 31,
2005, $14.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2006 and 11.6 million for the year ending December 31,
2007. Thereafter, payments due total $41.2 million.

Capital expenditures were $19.1 million during 2002, $60.6 million during 2001 and $43.5 million during
2000. During 2002, capital expenditures were primarily related to leasehold improvements on newly occupied
buildings. The decrease, as compared to 2001, is due to expenditures in 2001 for buildings, land and our ERP
system. In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments related to capital expenditures, however,
we currently have no material contractual commitments for capital expenditures over the next 12 months.

During 2002 and 2001, we took actions to consolidate certain of our oÇces, including the exit of certain
leased oÇce space and the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements. Lease obligations related to these
existing  operating  leases  continue  to  October  2018  with  a  total  remaining  obligation  of  approximately
$28.5 million, of which $6.8 million, net of anticipated sublease income, was accrued for as of December 31,
2002, and is reÖected in accrued expenses in our consolidated Ñnancial statements. In calculating this accrual,
we made estimates, based on market information, including the estimated vacancy periods and sublease rates
and opportunities. If actual circumstances prove to be materially worse than management has estimated, the
total charges for these vacant facilities could be signiÑcantly higher.

During 2002 and 2001, signiÑcant portions of our cash inÖows were generated by operations. Although we
believe existing cash and investments together with cash Öow expected from operations will be suÇcient to
meet operating and capital expenditures requirements for the next 12 months, future operating results and
expected cash Öow from operations could vary if we experience a decrease in customer demand or a decrease
in customer acceptance of future product oÅerings. We could from time to time seek to raise additional funds
through the issuance of debt or equity securities. We continue to search for suitable acquisition candidates and
could acquire or make investments in companies we believe are related to our strategic objectives. Such

29

investments  could  reduce  our  available  working  capital.  We  currently  expect  that  the  diÇcult  economic
conditions that existed during 2002 will persist in 2003.

Certain Factors Which May AÅect Future Results

Our  operating  results  and  Ñnancial  condition  have  varied  in  the  past  and  could  in  the  future  vary
signiÑcantly depending on a number of factors. From time to time, information provided by us or statements
made by our employees could contain ""forward-looking'' information that involves risks and uncertainties. In
particular, statements contained in this Form 10-K, and in the documents incorporated by reference into this
Form 10-K, that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to statements concerning new products,
product development and oÅerings, product and price competition, deferred revenues, the Microsoft source
licensing  agreement,  economic  and  market  conditions,  revenue  recognition,  growth  of  revenues,  product
concentration, market competition, marketing eÅorts, technology relationships, investments in foreign opera-
tions and markets, reinvestment of foreign earnings, gross margins, goodwill, intangible assets, impairment
charges, accounts receivable, amortization, reserves, in-process research and development valuation, foreign
currency hedging transactions, interest income, anticipated operating and capital expenditure requirements,
reductions in operating expenses, expenses related to workforce reductions, leasing and subleasing activities,
acquisitions,  debt  redemption  obligations,  stock  repurchases,  investment  transactions,  litigation  matters,
intellectual  property  matters,  including  proprietary  technology  protection,  distribution  channels,  packaged
product inventories, stock price, deferred tax assets, licensing models, sales cycles, trading plans and potential
debt or equity Ñnancings constitute forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions
of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  These  statements  are  neither  promises  nor
guarantees. Our actual results of operations and Ñnancial condition have varied and could in the future vary
signiÑcantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could
cause actual results to diÅer materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this
Form 10-K, in the documents incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by our
management from time to time. Such factors, among others, could have a material adverse eÅect upon our
business, results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

If Microsoft terminates or fails to renew our license agreement, fails to continue to commercialize
Windows or designs Windows so that it is no longer interoperable with our products, our business could
be adversely aÅected.

Microsoft  is  the  leading  provider  of  desktop  operating  systems.  We  depend  upon  the  license  of  key
technology  from  Microsoft,  including  certain  source  and  object  code  licenses  and  technical  support.  In
May  2002,  we  signed  an  agreement  with  Microsoft  to  formalize  continued  access  to  Microsoft  Windows
Server source code. Under this agreement, we will have access to source code for current and future Microsoft
server operating systems, including access to terminal services source code, during the three year term of the
agreement.  Our  relationship  with  Microsoft  is  subject  to  the  following  risks  and  uncertainties,  which
individually, or in the aggregate, could cause a material adverse eÅect in our business, results of operations and
Ñnancial condition:

‚ Dependence on Microsoft for Commercialization. Our ability to successfully commercialize Citrix
MetaFrame access infrastructure depends on Microsoft's ability to market Windows NT Server 4.0,
Terminal Server Editions and Windows 2000 Servers and the upcoming Windows Server 2003, or
collectively Windows Server Operating Systems, products. We do not have control over Microsoft's
distributors and resellers and, to our knowledge, Microsoft's distributors and resellers are not obligated
to purchase products from Microsoft. Additionally, there could be delays in the release and shipment of
future versions of Windows Server Operating Systems.

‚ Termination of the Microsoft Source Licensing Agreement. Microsoft could terminate the current
agreement before the expiration of the three-year term for breach and upon our change of control. If
Microsoft does terminate the current agreement, our restricted access to source code for current and
future Microsoft server operating systems could negatively impact our ability to release future products
and enhancements.

30

‚ Interoperability. Future product oÅerings by Microsoft may not provide for interoperability with our
products. The lack of interoperability between present or future Microsoft products and our products,
could cause a material adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

Our  agreements  with  Microsoft  are  short  in  duration.  There  can  be  no  assurances  that  our  current
agreements with Microsoft will be extended or renewed by Microsoft after their respective expirations or that,
if renewed such agreements will be on terms favorable to us. Our failure to renew certain terms of these
agreements with Microsoft could result in an adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations and Ñnancial
condition.

Our business could be adversely impacted by conditions aÅecting the information technology market in
particular.

The  demand  for  our  products  depends  substantially  upon  the  general  demand  for  business-related
computer hardware and software, which Öuctuates based on numerous factors, including capital spending
levels,  the  spending  levels  and  growth  of  our  current  and  prospective  customers  and  general  economic
conditions. Fluctuations in the demand for our products could have a material adverse eÅect on our business,
results of operations and Ñnancial condition. In 2002, adverse economic conditions decreased demand for our
products  and  negatively  impacted  our  Ñnancial  results.  If  the  current  trend  of  decreased  and  slower
informational technology spending continues, it could continue to negatively impact our business, results of
operations and Ñnancial condition.

Our long sales cycle for enterprise-wide sales could make it diÇcult to predict our quarterly operating
results.

In  recent  quarters,  a  growing  number  of  our  large  and  medium-sized  customers  have  decided  to
implement our volume-based licensing programs on a department or enterprise-wide basis. For convenience,
the licenses under these arrangements are electronically delivered to our customers. Our long sales cycle for
these large-scale deployments makes it diÇcult to predict when these sales will occur, and we may not be able
to sustain these sales on a predictable basis. For example, our electronically delivered licensing arrangements
constituted 39% of our product sales in the year ended December 31, 2002, a portion of which has been
deferred.

We have a long sales cycle for these enterprise-wide sales because:

‚ our sales force generally needs to explain and demonstrate the beneÑts of a large-scale deployment of

our product to potential and existing customers prior to sale;

‚ our service personnel typically spend a signiÑcant amount of time assisting potential customers in their

testing and evaluation of our product;

‚ our  customers  are  typically  large  and  medium  size  organizations  that  carefully  research  their
technology needs and the many potential projects prior to making capital expenditures for software
infrastructure; and

‚ before making a purchase, our potential customers usually must get approvals from various levels of

decision makers within their organizations, and this process can be lengthy.

The continued long sales cycle for these large-scale deployment sales could make it diÇcult to predict the
quarter  in  which  sales  will  occur.  Delays  in  sales  could  cause  signiÑcant  variability  in  our  revenue  and
operating results for any particular period.

Our accounting policies could require us to take an impairment charge to earnings, particularly during
diÇcult economic conditions.

We have adopted accounting policies that could require us to take a charge to earnings related to our
Sequoia acquisition. In July 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and in January 2002,
we adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result, we no longer amortize goodwill

31

and intangible assets deemed to have indeÑnite lives. However, we continue to amortize certain product and
core technologies, trademarks, patents and other intangibles. We periodically evaluate our intangible assets,
including goodwill, for impairment. If we determine that any of our intangible assets are impaired, we could be
required to take a related charge to earnings.

In particular, at December 31, 2002, we had $30.8 million, net, of unamortized identiÑed intangibles with
estimable useful lives, of which $24.5 million consists of product and core technology we purchased in the
acquisition of Sequoia. We commercialized and currently market the Sequoia technology through our secure
access  infrastructure  software,  which  includes  Citrix  MetaFrame  Secure  Access  Manager.  However,  our
channel  distributors  and  entities  with  which  we  have  technology  relationships,  customers  or  prospective
customers may not purchase or widely accept our new line of products. If we are unsuccessful in selling this
new line of products, we could determine that the value of the purchased technology is impaired in whole or in
part and take a charge to earnings. An impairment charge could have a material adverse eÅect on our results
of operations and Ñnancial condition.

If we do not develop new products and enhancements to our existing products, we may not be successful.

The markets for our products are characterized by:

‚ rapid technological change;

‚ evolving industry standards;

‚ Öuctuations in customer demand;

‚ changes in customer requirements; and

‚ frequent new product introductions and enhancements.

Our future success depends on our ability to continually enhance our current products and develop and
introduce new products that our customers choose to buy. If we are unable to keep pace with technological
developments and customer demands by introducing new products and enhancements, our business, results of
operations and Ñnancial condition could be adversely aÅected. Our future success could be hindered by:

‚ delays in our introduction of new products;

‚ delays in market acceptance of new products or new releases of our current products; and

‚ our, or a competitor's, announcement of new product enhancements or technologies that could replace

or shorten the life cycle of our existing product oÅerings.

For  example,  we  cannot  guarantee  that  our  secure  access  infrastructure  software,  Citrix  MetaFrame
Secure Access Manager, will achieve the broad market acceptance by our channel and entities with which we
have a technology relationship, customers and prospective customers necessary to generate signiÑcant revenue.
In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to respond eÅectively to technological changes or new
product announcements by others. If we experience material delays or sales shortfalls with respect to our new
products or new releases of our current products, those delays or shortfalls could have a material adverse eÅect
on our business, results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

We  believe  that  we  could  incur  additional  costs  and  royalties  as  we  develop,  license  or  buy  new
technologies or enhancements to our existing products. These added costs and royalties could increase our cost
of revenues and operating expenses. However, we cannot currently quantify the costs for such transactions that
have not yet occurred. In addition, we may need to use a substantial portion of our cash and investments to
fund these additional costs.

We face intense competition, which could result in fewer customer orders and reduced revenues and
margins.

We compete in intensely competitive markets. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have

signiÑcantly greater Ñnancial, technical, sales and marketing and other resources than us.

32

Microsoft includes its Remote Desktop Protocol, or RDP, as a component in certain Windows Server
Operating  Systems,  which  has  certain  of  the  capabilities  of  our  ICA»  protocol,  and  oÅers  customers  a
competitive solution. Further, our ability to market the MetaFrame product suite, the MetaFrame Secure
Access Manager products and other future product oÅerings could be aÅected by Microsoft's licensing and
pricing  scheme  for  client  devices,  which  attach  to  Windows  Server  Operating  Systems  and  utilize  our
products. Moreover, the announcement of the release, and the actual release, of new Window based server
operating systems or products incorporating similar features to our products could cause our existing and
potential customers to postpone or cancel plans to license certain of our existing and future product oÅerings,
which  could  adversely  impact  our  business,  results  of  operations  and  Ñnancial  condition.  Future  product
oÅerings by Microsoft could be competitive with our current MetaFrame software suite, and any of our future
product oÅerings.

Furthermore, the Microsoft Development Agreement expired in May 2002. Consequently, Microsoft is
no  longer  contractually  restricted  from  changing  its  Windows  Server  Operating  Systems  to  render  them
inoperable with our MetaFrame product oÅerings. Further, Microsoft is no longer restricted from assisting
third parties to compete with our MetaFrame products.

In  addition,  alternative  products  for  Web  applications  in  the  Internet  software  market  directly  and
indirectly  compete  with  our  current  products  and  anticipated  future  product  oÅerings.  Existing  or  new
products that extend Internet software to provide Web-based information access or interactive computing
(such as Microsoft Windows Server 2003 products) can materially impact our ability to sell our products in
this market. Our competitors in this market include Microsoft, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and other makers
of Web application server software.

As the markets for our products continue to develop, additional companies, including companies with
signiÑcant market presence in the computer hardware, software and networking industries could enter the
markets in which we compete and further intensify competition. In addition, we believe price competition
could become a more signiÑcant competitive factor in the future. As a result, we may not be able to maintain
our historic prices and margins, which could adversely aÅect our business, results of operations and Ñnancial
condition.

We could change our licensing models or the percentage of our revenue represented by deferred revenues
could increase, which could negatively impact our recognition of revenue.

We continually re-evaluate our licensing programs, including speciÑc license models, delivery methods,
and terms and conditions, to market our current and future products and services. We could implement new
licensing  programs,  including  oÅering  speciÑed  and  unspeciÑed  enhancements  to  our  current  and  future
product and service lines. For example, on October 1, 2002, we implemented new volume-based licensing
programs. We could recognize revenues associated with those enhancements after the initial shipment or
licensing of the software product or over the product's life cycle. We could implement diÅerent licensing
models in certain circumstances, for which we would recognize licensing fees over a longer period, which
could decrease our current revenue. For example, we recognize Citrix Subscription Advantage and Technical
Services revenues from customer maintenance fees or ongoing customer support ratably over the term of the
contract, which is typically 12 to 24 months. Deferred revenues from Citrix Subscription Advantage and
Technical Services increased by approximately $32 million in 2002 as compared to 2001. The timing of the
implementation of new licensing programs, the timing of the release of such enhancements and other factors
could impact the timing of our recognition of revenues and related expenses associated with our products,
related enhancements and services and could adversely aÅect our operating results and Ñnancial condition.

As our international sales and operations grow, we could become increasingly subject to additional risks
that could harm our business.

We conduct signiÑcant sales and customer support operations in countries outside of the United States.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, we derived 53.7% of our revenues from sales outside the United
States. Our continued growth and proÑtability could require us to further expand our international operations.

33

To successfully expand international sales, we must establish additional foreign operations, hire additional
personnel and recruit additional international resellers. Our international operations are subject to a variety of
risks, which could cause international revenues to Öuctuate. These risks include:

‚ Öuctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including our ability to adequately hedge our foreign

exchange risks;

‚ compliance with foreign regulatory and market requirements;

‚ variability of foreign economic, political and labor conditions;

‚ changing restrictions imposed by regulatory requirements, tariÅs or other trade barriers or by United

States export laws;

‚ longer accounts receivable payment cycles;

‚ potentially adverse tax consequences, including restrictions on repatriation of earnings;

‚ diÇculties in protecting intellectual property; and

‚ burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate and address these risks. We cannot guarantee
that these or other factors will not adversely aÅect our business or operating results. In particular, a decrease in
demand for software and services in any particular region could adversely aÅect our future operating results.

Our results are subject to Öuctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of foreign
currencies in 2002 relative to the value of the U.S. dollar were generally hedged to minimize adverse impacts
on our operating proÑt. However, since we generally hedge only one year in advance of anticipated foreign
currency expenses, operations will be impacted adversely in Ñscal 2003. The U.S. dollar weakened during 2002
relative to other currencies. If the value of the U.S. dollar continues to weaken relative to other currencies in
which we do business, our results could be adversely aÅected in 2004 as well when these currencies are
remeasured for the purposes of converting them to U.S. dollars for our Ñnancial statements.

Sales of our MetaFrame product suite constitutes a substantial majority of our revenue.

We anticipate that sales of our MetaFrame product suite and related enhancements will constitute a
substantial majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue to generate revenue from
our MetaFrame product line will depend on market acceptance of Windows Server Operating Systems and/or
UNIX Operating Systems. Declines in demand for our MetaFrame products could occur as a result of:

‚ new competitive product releases and updates to existing products,

‚ price competition,

‚ technological change,

‚ decreasing or stagnant information technology spending levels,

‚ general economic conditions, or

‚ lack of success of entities with which we have a technology relationship.

If our customers do not continue to purchase our MetaFrame products as a result of these or other
factors, our revenue would decrease and our results of operations and Ñnancial condition would be adversely
aÅected.

Our synthetic lease is an oÅ-balance sheet arrangement that could negatively aÅect our Ñnancial
condition and results.

In April 2002, we entered into a seven-year synthetic lease with a substantive lessor for our headquarters
oÇce  buildings  in  Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida.  The  synthetic  lease  qualiÑes  for  operating  lease  accounting

34

treatment under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, so we do not include the property or the lease debt on
our consolidated balance sheet. If new or proposed accounting standards are adopted by accounting standards
organizations and governmental authorities, we may be required to include the property and the lease debt in
our consolidated Ñnancial statements, and as a result we would incur additional depreciation expenses.

Under  the  lease,  we  must  maintain  a  pledged  balance  of  approximately  $63  million  in  cash  and/or
investment securities with an aÇliate of the lessor, serving as collateral agent. We are able to manage the
composition of the pledged investments and investment earnings are available for operating purposes. If we
default on our commitments under the synthetic lease and cannot remedy the default in a timely manner, the
lessor could take the pledged assets and transfer ownership of the real estate to us.

We could purchase the property at any time during the lease term, with thirty days' written notice, for the
original property cost plus transaction fees and lease breakage fees. If we purchase the property, we will be
required to add the property to our consolidated balance sheet. At any time during the lease term, we could
also re-lease the property or remarket the property for sale to a third party. If we remarket the property for sale
to a third party, we could be required to Ñnd alternate headquarter facilities on terms that may not be as
favorable as the current arrangement. If we elect not to purchase the property at the end of the lease term, we
have guaranteed a minimum residual value of approximately $51.9 million to the lessor. Therefore, if the fair
value of the property declines below $51.9 million, we would have to make up the diÅerence under our residual
value  guarantee,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  eÅect  on  our  results  of  operations  and  Ñnancial
condition. For further information on our synthetic lease, please refer to ""Liquidity and Capital Resources''
and note 10 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Our proprietary rights could oÅer only limited protection. Our products could infringe third-party
intellectual property rights, which could result in material costs.

Our eÅorts to protect our proprietary rights may not be successful. We rely primarily on a combination of
copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws, conÑdentiality procedures and contractual provisions, to
protect  our  proprietary  rights.  The  loss  of  any  material  trade  secret,  trademark,  trade  name,  patent  or
copyright could have a material adverse eÅect on our business. Despite our precautions, it could be possible for
unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse engineer certain portions of our products or to otherwise obtain
and use our proprietary information. If we cannot protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized
copying or use, we may not remain competitive. Any patents owned by us could be invalidated, circumvented
or challenged. Any of our pending or future patent applications, whether or not being currently challenged,
may not be issued with the scope we seek, if at all, and if issued, may not provide any meaningful protection or
competitive advantage.

In addition, our ability to protect our proprietary rights could be aÅected by:

‚ DiÅerences in International Law; Enforceability of Licenses. The laws of some foreign countries do
not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and Canada.
For example, we derive a signiÑcant portion of our sales from licensing our packaged products under
""shrink  wrap''  license  agreements  that  are  not  signed  by  licensees  and  electronic  volume-based
licensing agreements that could be unenforceable under the laws of certain foreign jurisdictions.

‚ Third  Party  Infringement  Claims. As  the  number  of  products  and  competitors  in  our  industry
segments  increases  and  the  functionality  of  these  products  overlap,  we  could  become  increasingly
subject  to  infringement  claims.  Companies  and  inventors  are  more  frequently  seeking  to  patent
software and business methods because of developments in the law that could extend the ability to
obtain  such  patents.  As  a  result,  we  could  receive  patent  infringement  claims.  Responding  to  any
infringement claim, regardless of its validity, could result in costly litigation or require us to obtain a
license to intellectual property rights of those third parties. Licenses may not be available on reasonable
terms or at all. In addition, attention to these claims could divert our management's time and attention
from developing our business. If a successful claim is made against us and we fail to develop or license

35

a substitute technology, our business, results of operations, Ñnancial condition or cash Öows could be
materially adversely aÅected.

We are subject to risks associated with our technology relationships.

Our business depends on technology relationships. We cannot assure you that those relationships will
continue in the future. In addition to our relationship with Microsoft, we rely on technology relationships with
IBM,  HP,  Dell  and  others.  We  depend  on  the  entities  with  which  we  have  technology  relationships  to
successfully test our products, to incorporate our technology into their products and to market and sell those
products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current technology relationships or to
develop additional technology relationships. If any entities in which we have a technology relationship are
unable to incorporate our technology into their products or to market or sell those products, our business,
operating results and Ñnancial condition could be materially adversely aÅected.

If we lose access to third party licenses, shipments of our products could be delayed.

We believe that we will continue to rely, in part, on third party licenses to enhance and diÅerentiate our

products. Third party licensing arrangements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

‚ undetected errors in the third party's software;

‚ disagreement over the scope of the license and other key terms, such as royalties payable; and

‚ infringement actions brought by third party licensees.

If we lose or are unable to maintain any of these third party licenses, it could delay the shipment or
release of our products. Any delays could have a material adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations
and Ñnancial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain large enterprise customers.

We must retain and continue to expand our ability to reach and penetrate large enterprise customers by
adding eÅective channel distributors and expanding our consulting services. Our inability to attract and retain
large enterprise customers could have a material adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations and
Ñnancial condition. Large enterprise customers usually request special pricing and generally have longer sales
cycles, which could negatively impact our revenues. Additionally, as we attempt to attract and penetrate large
enterprise customers, we could need to increase corporate branding and marketing activities, which could
increase our operating expenses. These eÅorts may not proportionally increase our operating revenues and
could reduce our proÑts.

Our business could be adversely aÅected if we are unable to expand and diversify our distribution
channels.

We  intend  to  continue  to  expand  our  distribution  channels  by  leveraging  our  relationships  with
independent  hardware  and  software  vendors  and  system  integrators  to  encourage  them  to  recommend  or
distribute  our  products.  In  addition,  an  integral  part  of  our  strategy  is  to  diversify  our  base  of  channel
relationships by adding more channel members with abilities to reach larger enterprise customers. This will
require  additional  resources  as  we  will  need  to  expand  our  internal  sales  and  service  coverage  of  these
customers. If we fail in these eÅorts and cannot expand or diversify our distribution channels, our business
could be adversely aÅected. In addition to this diversiÑcation of our base, we will need to maintain a healthy
mix of members who cater to smaller customers. We could need to add and remove distribution members to
maintain customer satisfaction and a steady adoption rate of our products, which could increase our operating
expenses. We are currently investing, and intend to continue to invest, signiÑcant resources to develop these
channels, which could reduce our proÑts.

36

If we do not generate suÇcient cash Öow from operations in the future, we may not be able to fund our
operations and fulÑll our future obligations.

Our ability to generate suÇcient cash Öow from operations to fund our product development and oÅerings
and make payments on our debt and other obligations depends on a range of economic, competitive and
business factors, many of which are outside our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate
suÇcient cash Öow from operations, that currently anticipated cost savings and operating improvements will
be realized on schedule or at all, or that we will be able to liquidate our investments, sell assets or raise equity
when needed or desirable. In December 2000, we invested $158.1 million in a trust managed by an investment
advisor in order to maintain suÇcient liquidity in the event that our debentures are redeemed in March 2004.
If the value of the investments in the trust signiÑcantly decreases, the proceeds of the trust combined with our
other cash and investments may not be suÇcient to fund the redemption of our outstanding debentures in
2004, if required. An inability to fund our operations or fulÑll outstanding obligations could have a material
adverse eÅect on our business, Ñnancial condition and results of operations. For further information, please
refer to ""Liquidity and Capital Resources.''

We rely on indirect distribution channels and major distributors that we do not control.

We rely signiÑcantly on independent distributors and resellers to market and distribute our products. We
do not control our distributors and resellers. Additionally, our distributors and resellers are not obligated to buy
our products and could also represent other lines of products. Some of our distributors and resellers maintain
inventories of our packaged products for resale to our smaller end-user customers. If distributors and resellers
reduce their inventory of our packaged products, our business could be adversely aÅected. In the quarter
ended December 31, 2002, we believe that our distributors and resellers held smaller inventories of packaged
products  as  compared  to  inventories  they  held  in  prior  quarters.  Further,  we  could  maintain  individually
signiÑcant  accounts  receivable  balances  with  certain  distributors.  For  example,  one  of  our  distributors
accounted for approximately 7% of gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2002. As of December 31,
2001, the same distributor accounted for 14% of gross accounts receivable. The Ñnancial condition of our
distributors could deteriorate and distributors could signiÑcantly delay or default on their payment obligations.
Any signiÑcant delays or defaults could have a material adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations
and Ñnancial condition.

Our products could contain errors that could delay the release of new products and may not be detected
until after our products are shipped.

Despite signiÑcant testing by us and by current and potential customers, our products, especially new
products  or  releases,  could  contain  errors.  In  some  cases,  these  errors  may  not  be  discovered  until  after
commercial shipments have been made. Errors in our products could delay the development or release of new
products and could adversely aÅect market acceptance of our products. Additionally, our products depend on
third party products, which could contain defects and could reduce the performance of our products or render
them useless. Because our products are often used in mission-critical applications, errors in our products or the
products of third parties upon which our products rely could give rise to warranty or other claims by our
customers.

Our research and development purchased in acquisitions is subject to certain risks.

In  the  past  we  have  re-evaluated  the  amounts  charged  to  in-process  research  and  development  in
connection  with  acquisitions  and  licensing  arrangements.  The  amount  and  rate  of  amortization  of  those
amounts are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties include the eÅects of
any changes in accounting standards or guidance adopted by the SEC or the accounting profession. Any
changes in accounting standards or guidance adopted by the SEC could materially adversely aÅect our future
results of operations through increased amortization expense. We cannot assure you that actual revenues and
operating proÑt attributable to acquired in-process research and development will match the projections we
used to initially value in-process research and development when we acquired it. Ongoing operations and

37

Ñnancial results for acquired assets and licensed technology, and for our business as a whole, are subject to a
variety of risks, which we may not have known or been able to estimate at the time of the transactions.

Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that we will succeed in our eÅorts to integrate and further develop our
acquired technologies. In 1999 and 2001, we acquired certain in-process software technologies from ViewSoft
and Sequoia. We are currently working on integrating some of the acquired technologies into our anticipated
future  product  oÅerings  and  on  associated  design,  development  and  rework  required  to  integrate  the
technologies.  However,  we  cannot  guarantee  we  will  be  successful  in  our  eÅorts  to  integrate  and  further
develop these technologies. If we fail to complete the development of our anticipated future product oÅerings,
or if we fail to complete them in a timely manner, our Ñnancial condition and results of operations could be
materially  adversely  aÅected.  We  cannot  currently  determine  the  impact  those  delays  could  have  on  our
business,  future  results  of  operations  and  Ñnancial  condition.  We  could  incur  additional  charges  in  later
periods to reÖect costs associated with completing those projects.

Acquisitions present many risks, and we may not realize the Ñnancial and strategic goals we anticipate
at the time of an acquisition.

Acquisitions  of  high-technology  companies  are  inherently  risky.  We  cannot  assure  anyone  that  our
previous acquisitions, including the purchase of Sequoia, or any future acquisitions will be successful. The
risks we commonly encounter are:

‚ diÇculties integrating the operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies;

‚ the risk of diverting management's attention from normal daily operations of the business;

‚ potential  diÇculties  in  completing  projects  associated  with  purchased  in-process  research  and

development;

‚ risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors

have stronger market positions;

‚ the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; and

‚ an uncertain sales and earnings stream from the acquired company, which could unexpectedly dilute

our earnings.

These factors could have a material adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations and Ñnancial
condition. We cannot guarantee that the combined company resulting from any acquisition can continue to
support the growth achieved by the companies separately. We must also focus on our ability to manage and
integrate  any  acquisition.  Our  failure  to  manage  growth  eÅectively  and  successfully  integrate  acquired
companies could adversely aÅect our business and operating results.

If we lose key personnel or cannot hire enough qualiÑed employees, our ability to manage our business
could be adversely aÅected.

Our success depends, in large part, upon the services of a number of key employees. We do not have long-
term employment agreements with any of our key personnel. Any oÇcer or employee can terminate his or her
relationship with us at any time. The eÅective management of our growth, if any, could depend upon our
ability to retain our highly skilled technical, managerial, Ñnance and marketing personnel. If any of those
employees leave, we will need to attract and retain replacements for them. We could also need to add key
personnel in the future. The market for these qualiÑed employees is competitive. We could Ñnd it diÇcult to
successfully attract, assimilate or retain suÇciently qualiÑed personnel. Also, we could need to hire additional
personnel to develop new products, product enhancements and technologies. If we cannot add the necessary
staÅ and resources, our ability to develop future enhancements and features to our existing or future products
could be delayed. Any delays could have a material adverse eÅect on our business, results of operations and
Ñnancial condition.

38

If product returns or price adjustments exceed our reserves, our operating results could be adversely
aÅected.

We provide most of our distributors with product return rights only for the purpose of stock balancing,
which generally permit our distributors to return products to us, subject to ordering an equal dollar amount of
our products. We also provide price protection rights to most of our distributors. Price protection rights require
that we grant retroactive price adjustments for inventories of our products held by distributors if we lower our
prices for those products within a speciÑed time period. To cover our exposure to these product returns and
price  adjustments,  we  establish  reserves  based  on  our  evaluation  of  historical  product  trends  and  current
marketing plans. However, we cannot assure you that our reserves will be suÇcient to cover our future product
returns and price adjustments. If we inadequately forecast reserves, our operating results could be adversely
aÅected.

Increased political and social turmoil could adversely impact our business.

Increasing political and social turmoil, such as terrorist and military actions, can be expected to put
further pressure on economic conditions in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. These conditions make
it diÇcult for us, and our customers, to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and could have a
material adverse eÅect on our business, Ñnancial condition and results of operations.

Our stock price could be volatile, and you could lose the value of your investment.

Our stock price has been volatile and has Öuctuated signiÑcantly to date. The trading price of our stock is
likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide Öuctuations. Your investment in our stock could
lose value. Some of the factors that could signiÑcantly aÅect the market price of our stock include:

‚ actual or anticipated variations in operating and Ñnancial results;

‚ analyst reports or recommendations;

‚ changes in interest rates; and

‚ other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

The stock market in general, The Nasdaq National Market and the market for software companies and
technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume Öuctuations. These broad
market and industry factors could materially and adversely aÅect the market price of our stock, regardless of
our actual operating performance.

If we fail to manage our operations and control expenses eÅectively, our future operating results could
be adversely aÅected.

Historically, the scope of our operations, the number of our employees and the geographic area of our
operations have grown rapidly. In addition, we have acquired both domestic and international companies. This
growth and the assimilation of acquired operations and their employees could continue to place a signiÑcant
strain on our managerial, operational and Ñnancial resources. To manage our growth, if any, eÅectively, we
need to continue to implement and improve additional management and Ñnancial systems and controls. We
may not be able to manage the current scope of our operations or future growth eÅectively and still exploit
market opportunities for our products and services in a timely and cost-eÅective way. Our future operating
results could also depend on our ability to manage:

‚ our expanding product line,

‚ our marketing and sales organizations, and

‚ our client support organization as installations of our products increase.

39

We took steps to reduce operating expenses commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002, however our
operating expenses in 2003 could exceed our operating expenses in 2002. An increase in operating expenses
could reduce our income from operations and cash Öows from operating activities in the future.

Our business and investments could be adversely impacted by unfavorable economic conditions.

General economic and market conditions, and other factors outside our control, could adversely aÅect our
business and impair the value of our investments. Any further downturn in general economic conditions could
result in a reduction in demand for our products and services and could harm our business. In addition, an
economic downturn could result in an impairment in the value of our investments requiring us to record losses
related  to  such  investments.  An  impairment  in  the  value  of  these  investments  may  disrupt  our  ongoing
business and distract management. As of December 31, 2002, we had $576.7 million of short and long-term
investments with various issuers and Ñnancial institutions. In many cases we do not attempt to reduce or
eliminate our market exposure on these investments and could incur losses related to the impairment of these
investments.  Fluctuations  in  economic  and  market  conditions  could  adversely  eÅect  the  value  of  our
investments, and we could lose some of our investment portfolio. A total loss of an investment could adversely
aÅect our results of operations and Ñnancial condition. For further information on these investments, please
refer to ""Liquidity and Capital Resources.''

Our revenue may not grow, and if we do not successfully manage our expenses, our business could be
negatively impacted.

We attribute most of our growth during recent years to the introduction of the MetaFrame software for
Windows operating systems in mid-1998. We cannot assure you that the infrastructure software markets in
which we operate, will grow. We cannot assure that the release of our secure access infrastructure software
suite, including the MetaFrame Secure Access Manager, or other new products will increase our revenue
growth rate.

In addition, to the extent our revenue grows, if at all, we believe that our cost of revenues and certain
operating expenses could also increase. In the third quarter of 2002, we took actions to reduce operating
expenses starting in the fourth quarter of 2002. We cannot assure you that our operating expenses will be lower
than our estimated or actual revenues in any given quarter. If we experience a shortfall in revenue in any given
quarter, we likely will not be able to further reduce operating expenses quickly in response. Any signiÑcant
shortfall in revenue could immediately and adversely aÅect our results of operations for that quarter. Also, due
to the Ñxed nature of many of our expenses and our current expectation for revenue growth, our income from
operations and cash Öows from operating and investing activities could be lower than in recent years.

40

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion about our market risk includes ""forward-looking statements'' that involve risks
and  uncertainties.  Actual  results  could  diÅer  materially  from  those  projected  in  the  forward-looking
statements.  The  analysis  methods  we  used  to  assess  and  mitigate  risk  discussed  below  should  not  be
considered projections of future events, gains or losses.

We  are  exposed  to  Ñnancial  market  risks,  including  changes  in  interest  rates  and  foreign  currency
exchange rates that could adversely aÅect our results of operations or Ñnancial condition. To mitigate foreign
currency and interest rate risk, we utilize derivative Ñnancial instruments. The counter-parties to our derivative
instruments are major Ñnancial institutions. All of the potential changes noted below are based on sensitivity
analyses performed on our Ñnancial position as of December 31, 2002. Actual results could diÅer materially.

Discussions of our accounting policies for derivatives and hedging activities are included in notes 2 and 13

to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Exposure to Exchange Rates

A substantial majority of our overseas expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in local
currencies, primarily British pounds sterling, Euros, Swiss francs, Japanese yen and Australian dollars. To
reduce exposure to reduction in U.S. dollar value and the volatility of future cash Öows caused by changes in
currency exchange rates, we have established a hedging program. We use foreign currency forward contracts
to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency expenditures. Our hedging program signiÑcantly reduces, but does
not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had in place foreign currency forward sale contracts with a notional
amount of $48.9 million and $13.1 million, respectively, and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with
a notional amount of $128.4 million and $60.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, these
contracts had an aggregate fair value of $3.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Based on a hypothetical
10%  appreciation  of  the  U.S.  dollar  from  December  31,  2002  market  rates  the  fair  value  of  our  foreign
currency forward contracts would decrease by $8.3 million. Conversely, a hypothetical 10% depreciation of the
U.S.  dollar  from  December  31,  2002  market  rates  would  increase  the  fair  value  of  our  foreign  currency
forward contracts by $8.3 million. Foreign operating costs in these hypothetical movements would move in the
opposite direction. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction
relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct eÅects of changes in exchange rates quantiÑed above,
changes  in  exchange  rates  could  also  change  the  dollar  value  of  sales  and  aÅect  the  volume  of  sales  as
competitors products become more or less attractive. Our sensitivity analysis of the eÅects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in levels of local currency prices or sales
reported  in  U.S.  dollars.  We  do  not  anticipate  any  material  adverse  impact  to  our  consolidated  Ñnancial
position, results of operations, or cash Öows as a result of these forward foreign exchange contracts.

Exposure to Interest Rates

In order to better manage our exposure to interest rate risk, in December 2002 we entered into 12 interest
rate swap agreements. The swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $208.0 million convert the
Ñxed rate return on 12 of our available-for-sale securities, to a Öoating rate. The aggregate fair value of the
interest rate swaps at December 31, 2002 was a liability of $3.4 million. Based upon a hypothetical 1% increase
in the market interest rate as of December 31, 2002, the fair value of these aggregated liabilities would have
decreased by approximately $8.2 million. Based on a hypothetical 1% decrease in the market interest rate as of
December  31,  2002,  the  fair  value  of  these  aggregated  liabilities  would  have  increased  by  approximately
$8.4 million. The underlying assets would experience oÅsetting gains and losses. We also maintain available-
for-sale and held-to-maturity investments in debt securities, which limits the amount of credit exposure to any
one issue, issuer, or type of instrument. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged. The
securities  classiÑed  as  available-for-sale  are  subject  to  interest  rate  risk.  The  modeling  technique  used
measures the change in fair values arising from an immediate hypothetical shift in market interest rates and
assumes that ending fair values include principal plus accrued interest, dividends and reinvestment income. If

41

market interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points from December 31, 2002 and 2001 levels, the fair
value  of  the  available-for-sale  portfolio  would  decline  by  approximately  $0.6  million  and  $1.1  million,
respectively. This sensitivity analysis on our available-for-sale portfolio excludes the underlying investments to
our 12 interest rate swaps discussed above, as the interest rate risk related to those investments has been
eÅectively hedged. For more information see note 13 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our interest
rate swap agreements and its available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment portfolios. This analysis does
not consider the eÅect of credit risk as a result of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist
in such an environment.

In  April  2002,  we  entered  into  a  synthetic  lease  with  a  substantive  lessor  totaling  approximately
$61 million related to oÇce space utilized for our corporate headquarters. Payments under this synthetic lease
are indexed to a variable interest rate (LIBOR plus a margin). Based upon our interest rate exposure under
this synthetic lease at December 31, 2002, a 100 basis point change in the current interest rate would have an
immaterial eÅect on our Ñnancial position and results of operations. In addition to interest rate exposure, if the
fair value of our headquarters building in Fort Lauderdale, Florida were to signiÑcantly decline, there could be
a material adverse eÅect on our results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related Ñnancial statement schedule, together

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Citrix Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citrix Systems, Inc. as of Decem-
ber  31,  2002  and  2001,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income,  stockholders'  equity  and
comprehensive income, and cash Öows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our
audits  also  included  the  Ñnancial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  Index  at  Item  15(a).  These  Ñnancial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these Ñnancial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
Ñnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  Ñnancial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and signiÑcant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Ñnancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated Ñnancial position of Citrix Systems, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash Öows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the
related Ñnancial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic Ñnancial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated Ñnancial statements, eÅective January 1, 2002, the Company
changed its method of accounting for goodwill and certain intangible assets as a result of adopting Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

Citrix Systems, Inc. (""Citrix'' or the ""Company''), a Delaware corporation founded on April 17, 1989, is
a leading supplier of corporate application and information access infrastructure software and services that
enable the eÅective and eÇcient enterprise-wide deployment and management of applications and informa-
tion, including those designed for Microsoft» Windows» operating systems, for UNIX» operating systems,
such as Sun SolarisTM, HP-UX, or IBM»-AIX» (collectively, ""UNIX operating systems'') and for Web-
based information systems. The Company's MetaFrame» products permit organizations to provide secure
access to Windows based, Web-based and UNIX applications without regard to location, network connection
or  type  of  client  hardware  platforms.  The  Company  markets  and  licenses  its  products  through  multiple
channels such as value-added resellers, distributors, system integrators and independent software vendors,
managed by the Company's worldwide sales force.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy

The  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  of  the  Company  include  the  accounts  of  its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries in the Americas, Europe and Asia-PaciÑc. All signiÑcant transactions and balances between the
Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002 include marketable securities, which are primarily
municipal securities, money market funds, corporate securities and commercial paper with initial or remaining
contractual  maturities  when  purchased  of  three  months  or  less.  The  Company  minimizes  its  credit  risk
associated with cash and cash equivalents by investing primarily in investment grade, highly liquid instruments
and periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary Ñnancial institutions.

Investments

Short  and  long-term  investments  at  December  31,  2002  primarily  consist  of  corporate  securities,
government securities and municipal securities. Investments classiÑed as available-for-sale are stated at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss).  Investments  classiÑed  as  held-to-maturity  are  stated  at  amortized  cost.  The  Company  does  not
recognize changes in the fair value of certain investments in income unless a decline in value is considered
other-than-temporary.

From time to time, the Company makes equity investments that are accounted for under the cost method
due to the limited extent of the Company's ownership interest and the lack of the Company's ability to exert
signiÑcant inÖuence over the investees. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, such investments were recorded at
the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of
its investments to determine if there has been any impairment of value that is other-than-temporary. During
2002 and 2001, the Company recorded $2.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively, of losses resulting from
sales  of  available-for-sale  securities  and  other-than-temporary  declines  in  fair  value  of  certain  of  the
Company's  investments.  Amounts  included  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  in  prior
periods  are  reclassiÑed  to  earnings  using  the  speciÑc  identiÑcation  method.  At  December  31,  2002,  the
Company's remaining equity investments were approximately $0.2 million.

The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with investments by investing primarily in investment
grade, highly liquid securities. The Company maintains investments with various Ñnancial institutions and the
Company's policy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution depending on credit quality. Periodic

F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

evaluations  of  the  relative  credit  standing  of  those  Ñnancial  institutions  are  considered  in  the  Company's
investment strategy.

At December 31, 2002, approximately $63 million in investment securities were pledged as collateral for
speciÑed obligations under the Company's synthetic lease. In addition, at December 31, 2002, approximately
$109 million in investment securities were pledged as collateral for the Company's credit default contracts.
The Company maintains the ability to manage the composition of the pledged investments. Accordingly, these
securities are not reÖected as restricted investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For
further information see Notes 10 and 13.

The Company relies on third party valuations to adjust the carrying value of certain of its investments and
derivative instruments to fair value at the end of each period. Fair values are based on valuation models that
use market quotes and, for certain investments, assumptions as to the creditworthiness of the entities issuing
those underlying investments.

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are due from value-added resellers and distribu-
tors of computer software. Collateral is not required. Credit losses and expected product returns are provided
for in the consolidated Ñnancial statements and have been within management's expectations. If the Ñnancial
condition of a signiÑcant distributor or customer were to deteriorate, the Company's operating results could be
adversely aÅected. One distributor accounted for approximately 7% and 14% of gross accounts receivable at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. No other distributor or customer accounted for more than 10% of
gross accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the Ñrst-
in, Ñrst-out method) or market. When necessary, a provision has been made to reduce obsolete or excess
inventories to market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally three years for computer equipment, software, oÇce
equipment and furniture, the lesser of the lease term or Ñve years for leasehold improvements, seven years for
the enterprise resource planning system and 40 years for buildings. Assets under capital leases are amortized
over the shorter of the asset life or the remaining lease term. Amortization of assets under capital leases is
included in depreciation expense. Accumulated amortization of equipment under capital leases approximated
$0.4 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identiÑable intangible assets to be
held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
may not be fully recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future
cash Öows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss
for long-lived assets and certain identiÑable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is
based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identiÑable intangible assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During 2002, the Company
recognized $2.0 million in asset impairment charges primarily due to the consolidation of certain of its oÇces
resulting in the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements. These charges are reÖected in operating
expenses  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  income  and  primarily  related  to  the  Americas
geographic segment. As of December 31, 2002, we have determined that there were no other triggering events
requiring additional impairment analysis.

Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use

The Company accounts for internal use software pursuant to Statement of Position No. (""SOP'') 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Pursuant to the SOP,
the Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services used in the project and internal costs
such as payroll and beneÑts of those employees directly associated with the development of the software. The
amount  of  costs  capitalized  in  2002  and  2001  relating  to  internal  use  software  were  $3.4  million  and
$16.7  million,  respectively,  consisting  principally  of  purchased  software  and  services  provided  by  external
vendors. These costs are being amortized over the estimated useful life of the software developed, which is
generally three to seven years and are included in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.

Software Development Costs

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (""SFAS'') No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software  to  be  Sold,  Leased  or  Otherwise  Marketed,  requires  certain  software  development  costs  to  be
capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility
and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by manage-

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

ment with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and
changes in software and hardware technologies. Software development costs incurred beyond the establish-
ment of technological feasibility have not been signiÑcant.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

EÅective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, the Company's goodwill and certain intangible assets are no longer
amortized, but are subject to an annual impairment test. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company
ceased amortizing goodwill with a net book value at January 1, 2002 of $152.4 million, including $10.1 million
of  acquired  workforce  previously  classiÑed  as  purchased  intangible  assets.  There  was  no  impairment  of
goodwill or other intangible assets as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142 or the annual impairment completed
during the fourth quarter of 2002. Excluding goodwill, the Company has no intangible assets deemed to have
indeÑnite lives. Substantially all of the Company's goodwill at December 31, 2002 was associated with the
Americas reportable segment. See Note 12 for segment information.

The following table provides a reconciliation of reported net income for the years ended December 31,
2001 and 2000 to net income adjusted as if SFAS No. 142 had been applied as of the beginning of 2000. Some
amounts may not add due to rounding.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to Ñve years, except for patents, which are
amortized over 10 years. In accordance with SFAS No. 86, the Company carries core and product technology
at  net  realizable  value  and  reviews  this  technology  for  impairment  on  a  periodic  basis  by  comparing  the
estimated net realizable value to the unamortized cost of the technology. There has been no impairment of
these assets to date.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and licenses software products through value-added resellers, channel distributors,
system integrators and independent software vendors, managed by the Company's worldwide sales force. The
Company's  software  licenses  are  generally  perpetual,  and  are  delivered  by  means  of  traditional  packaged
products  and  electronically,  typically  under  volume-based  licensing  programs.  The  Company's  packaged
products are typically purchased by medium and small-sized businesses with fewer locations and the software
license is delivered with the packaged product.

Volume-based license arrangements are used with more complex multi-server environments typically
found in larger business enterprises that deploy the Company's products on a department or enterprise-wide
basis, which could require diÅerences in product features and functionality at various customer locations. The
end-customer license agreement with enterprise customers is typically customized based on these factors.
Once the Company receives a purchase order from the channel distributor, the volume-based licenses are
electronically delivered to the customer with ""software activation keys'' that enable the feature conÑguration
ordered by the end-customer. Depending on the size of the enterprise, software may be delivered indirectly by
the channel distributor or directly by the Company pursuant to a purchase order from the channel distributor.

Revenue is recognized when it is earned. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance
with  the  American  Institute  of  CertiÑed  Public  Accountants  Statement  of  Position  (""SOP'')  97-2  (as
amended  by  SOP  98-4  and  SOP  98-9)  and  related  interpretations,  Software  Revenue  Recognition.  The
Company  recognizes  revenue  when  all  of  the  following  criteria  are  met:  persuasive  evidence  of  the
arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and the Company has no remaining obligations; the fee is Ñxed or
determinable; and collectibility is probable. The Company deÑnes these four criteria as follows:

‚ Persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists. The Company recognizes revenue on packaged product
upon shipment to distributors and resellers. For packaged product sales, it is the Company's customary
practice  to  require  a  purchase  order  from  distributors  who  have  previously  negotiated  a  master
packaged product distribution or resale agreement. For volume-based licensing, the Company typically
requires a purchase order from the distributor or reseller and an executed standard software license
agreement from the end-customer. The Company requires a purchase order for training and services.

F-11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

‚ Delivery  has  occurred  and  the  Company  has  no  remaining  obligations.  The  Company's  standard
delivery  method  is  free-on-board  shipping  point.  Consequently,  it  considers  delivery  of  packaged
product to have occurred when the products are shipped to distributors pursuant to an agreement and
purchase order. The Company considers delivery of licenses under electronic licensing agreements to
have occurred when the related products are shipped and the end-customer has been electronically
provided  with  the  licenses  that  include  the  activation  keys  that  allow  the  end-customer  to  take
immediate  possession  of  the  software.  For  training  and  service  revenue  recognition,  the  Company
fulÑlls its obligation when the services are performed.

‚ The fee is Ñxed or determinable. In the normal course of business, the Company does not provide end-
customers the right to a refund of any portion of their license fees or extended payment terms. When
the Company sells its software products separately, vendor speciÑc objective evidence (""VSOE'') is
determined by the price charged for each product. In software arrangements that include the rights to
multiple  software  products,  post-contract  customer  support  (""PCS'')  and/or  other  services,  the
Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of
each of the deliverables based on VSOE. If management cannot objectively determine the fair value of
each  undelivered  element  based  on  VSOE,  revenue  recognition  is  deferred  until  all  elements  are
delivered, all services have been performed, or until fair value can be objectively determined.

‚ Collectibility is probable. The Company determines collectibility on a customer-by-customer basis.
The  Company  typically  sells  to  distributors  or  resellers  for  whom  there  are  histories  of  successful
collection. New customers are subject to a credit review process that evaluates the customers' Ñnancial
position and ultimately their ability to pay. Customers are subject to an ongoing credit review process.
If  the  Company  determines  from  the  outset  of  an  arrangement  that  collectibility  is  not  probable,
revenue recognition is deferred until customer payment is received and the other parameters of revenue
recognition described above have been achieved. Management's judgment is required in assessing the
probability  of  collection,  which  is  generally  based  on  evaluation  of  customer  speciÑc  information,
historical experience and economic market conditions. If market conditions decline, or, if the Ñnancial
condition of distributors or end-customers deteriorates, the Company may be unable to determine that
collectibility  is  probable,  and  it  could  be  required  to  defer  the  recognition  of  revenues  until  the
Company receives customer payment.

For certain software products that are only sold bundled with PCS, the Company allocates revenue to the
delivered software product using the residual method. Under the residual method, the Company does not sell
the software products separately and thus is generally unable to determine VSOE of fair value for the product.
Therefore, the Company allocates discounts inherent in the arrangement entirely to the software product and
the portion of the fee initially allocated to PCS and deferred is generally higher than in arrangements with
established VSOE for the software product. Depending on future product releases or changes in customer
demand, the Company may oÅer additional products that are only sold bundled with PCS. If the Company
does this, the use of the residual method will become more prevalent, which could impact the timing of 
revenue  recognition  since  more  of  the  sales  proceeds  would  be  allocated  to  the  PCS  portion  of  the
arrangement  and  recognized  over  the  PCS  period.  The  Company  also  sells  PCS  separately  through  the
Subscription  Advantage  renewal  program,  and  it  determines  VSOE  by  the  renewal  price  charged.  The
Company bases technical service and PCS revenues from customer maintenance fees for ongoing customer
support and product updates and upgrades on the price charged or derived value of the undelivered elements
and are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically 12 to 24 months. The Company
includes technical service revenues in net revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

In the normal course of business, the Company does not permit product returns, but it does provide most
of its distributors and value added resellers with stock balancing and price protection rights. Stock balancing
rights permit distributors to return products to the Company, subject to ordering an equal dollar amount of
products.

F-12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

Price protection rights require that the Company grant retroactive price adjustments for inventories of its
products  held  by  distributors  or  resellers  if  it  lowers prices  for  such  products.  The  Company  establishes
provisions  for  estimated  returns  for  stock  balancing  and  price  protection  rights,  as  well  as  other  sales
allowances,  concurrently  with  the  recognition  of  revenue.  The  provisions  are  established  based  upon
consideration of a variety of factors, including, among other things, historical return rates for both speciÑc
products and distributors, estimated distributor inventory levels by product, the impact of any new product
releases and projected economic conditions. Actual product returns for stock balancing and price protection
provisions incurred are, however, dependent upon future events, including the amount of stock balancing
activity  by  distributors  and  the  level  of  distributor  inventories  at  the  time  of  any  price  adjustments.  The
Company continually monitors the factors that inÖuence the pricing of its products and distributor inventory
levels and makes adjustments to these provisions when it believes actual returns and other allowances could
diÅer from established reserves. The Company's ability to recognize revenues upon shipment to distributors is
predicated on its ability to reliably estimate future product returns and rotation. If actual return experience or
changes  in  market  condition  impairs  the  Company's  ability  to  estimate  returns  and  rotation,  it  would  be
required  to  defer  the  recognition  of  revenue  until  the  delivery  of  the  product  to  the  end-user  customer.
Allowances for estimated product returns amounted to approximately $10.5 million at December 31, 2002 and
$8.3 million at December 31, 2001. The Company has not reduced and has no current plans to reduce its
prices for inventory currently held by distributors or resellers. Accordingly, there were no reserves required for
price protection at December 31, 2002 or 2001. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for
customer programs and incentive oÅerings including volume-based incentives. If market conditions were to
decline, the Company could take actions to increase its customer incentive oÅerings and possibly result in an
incremental reduction to its revenue at the time the incentive is oÅered.

The Company provides consulting services to certain license customers. The services consist of network
conÑguration and optimization and are typically performed prior to the customers' purchase and implementa-
tion of the Company's software products. Services are not essential to the functionality of the Company's
software  and  do  not  constitute  modiÑcations  to  the  Company's  software.  Revenue  from  services,  support
arrangements and training programs and materials, which totaled $44.5 million, $40.7 million and $30.4 mil-
lion for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, is recognized when the services are
provided and the other criteria of revenue recognition have been met. Such items are included in net revenues.
The costs for providing consulting services are included in cost of sales. The costs of providing training and
services are included in sales, marketing and support expenses.

In May 1997, the Company entered into a Ñve year joint license, development and marketing agreement
with Microsoft Corporation (""Microsoft'') (as amended, the ""Microsoft Development Agreement''), pursu-
ant to which the Company licensed its multi-user Windows NT extensions to Microsoft for inclusion in certain
versions  of  Windows  NT  server  software.  Revenue  from  the  Microsoft  Development  Agreement  was
recognized ratably over the Ñve-year term of the contract, which expired in May 2002. Revenues recognized
pursuant  to  the  Microsoft  Development  Agreement  are  included  in  other  revenues  in  the  accompanying
consolidated statements of income.

The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from one software product and anticipates that
this product and future derivative products and product lines based upon this technology, if any, will constitute
a majority of its revenue for the foreseeable future. The Company could experience declines in demand for
products,  whether  as  a  result  of  general  economic  conditions,  new  competitive  product  releases,  price
competition, lack of success of its strategic partners, technological change or other factors.

Cost of Revenues

Cost  of  revenues  consist  primarily  of  compensation  and  other  personnel-related  costs  of  providing
consulting  services,  as  well  as,  the  cost  of  royalties,  product  media  and  duplication,  manuals,  packaging
materials and shipping expense. The Company is a party to licensing agreements with various entities, which
give the Company the right to use certain software code in its products or in the development of future
products in exchange for the payment of a Ñxed fee or certain amounts based upon the sales of the related
product. The licensing agreements generally have terms ranging from one to Ñve years, and generally include
renewal options. However, some agreements may be perpetual unless expressly terminated. Royalties and
other costs related to these agreements are included in cost of revenues. All development costs incurred in
connection with the Microsoft Development Agreement, were expensed as incurred as cost of other revenues.
The Company's cost of revenues excludes amortization of acquired core and product technologies, which is
included in amortization of intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of each of the Company's wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and
revenues and expenses are remeasured at average rates prevailing during the year. Remeasurement and foreign
currency transaction losses of approximately $1.1 million, $2.4 million and $0.1 million for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, are included in other expense, net in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its
related interpretations and amendments, the Company records derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the
balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments,
if  any,  are  adjusted  to  fair  value  through  earnings  as  other  income  (expense)  in  the  current  period.  For
derivatives that are designated as and qualify as eÅective cash Öow hedges, the portion of gain or loss on the
derivative  instrument  eÅective  at  oÅsetting  changes  in  the  hedged  item  is  reported  as  a  component  of
accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  and  reclassiÑed  into  earnings  as  operating  income  (ex-
pense) when the hedged transaction aÅects earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated as and
qualify as eÅective fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the oÅsetting gain
or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in current earnings as interest income
(expense) during the period of the change in fair values. The application of the provisions of SFAS No. 133
could impact the volatility of earnings.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as
well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process
includes attributing all derivatives that are designated as cash Öow hedges to Öoating rate assets or liabilities or
forecasted transactions and attributing all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to Ñxed rate
assets or liabilities. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing
basis, whether each derivative is highly eÅective in oÅsetting changes in cash Öows or fair value of the hedged
item. Fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally oÅset by changes in the hedged
item; however, if it is determined that a derivative is not highly eÅective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to
be a highly eÅective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively for the aÅected
derivative.

Advertising Expense

The  Company  expenses  advertising  costs  as  incurred.  The  Company  has  cooperative  advertising
agreements  with  certain  distributors  and  resellers  whereby  the  Company  will  reimburse  distributors  and
resellers for qualiÑed advertising of Citrix products. Reimbursement is made once the distributor or reseller
provides substantiation of qualiÑed expenditures. The Company estimates the impact of this program and
recognizes it at the time of product sale as a component of sales, marketing and support expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company recognized advertising expenses of approxi-
mately $10.0 million, $11.1 million and $10.7 million, during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates as part
of the process of preparing the consolidated Ñnancial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
determined  based  upon  diÅerences  between  the  Ñnancial  statement  and  income  tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in eÅect for the year in which the diÅerences are expected to reverse. The
realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable
income. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets if their realization does not meet the
""not more likely than not'' criteria of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Except for amounts
previously  provided  for  in  the  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements,  earnings  of  overseas  subsidiaries  are
considered permanently reinvested.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Ñnancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that aÅect the amounts reported in
the consolidated Ñnancial statements and accompanying notes. SigniÑcant estimates made by management
include the provision for doubtful accounts receivables, provision for sales returns and stock rotation, valuation
of the Company's goodwill and acquired workforce, net realizable value of core and product technology and
the amortization and depreciation periods for intangible and long-lived assets. While the Company believes
that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the consolidated Ñnancial position and results
of operations taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such estimates, when known, will vary from these
estimates.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, deÑnes a fair value method of accounting for
issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period,
which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are not required to adopt the fair
value method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. Companies are permitted to account for
such transactions under Accounting Principles Board (""APB'') Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees, but are required to disclose in a note to the consolidated Ñnancial statements pro forma net
income and per share amounts as if a company had applied the methods prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans, stock
options granted to employees and non-employee directors and has complied with the disclosure requirements
of SFAS No. 123. Except for non-employee directors, the Company has not granted any options to non-
employees. See Note 6 for more information regarding the Company's stock option plans.

Earnings Per Share

Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of certain stock options
(calculated using the treasury stock method) and put warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock
method). All common share and per share data, except par value per share, have been retroactively adjusted
to reÖect the two-for-one stock split of the Company's Common Stock eÅective February 16, 2000, which is
further discussed in Note 7.

ReclassiÑcations

Certain reclassiÑcations of the prior years' Ñnancial statements have been made to conform to the current

year's presentation.

3. ACQUISITIONS

In April 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Sequoia Software Corporation (""Sequoia'') for
approximately  $182.6  million.  A  portion  of  the  purchase  price  was  allocated  to  in-process  research  and
development (""IPR&D''), which the Company concluded had not reached technological feasibility and for
which there was no alternative future use after taking into consideration the potential use of technologies in
diÅerent products, the stage of development and life cycle of each project, resale of the software and internal
use. The value of the respective purchased IPR&D was expensed at the time of the transaction and resulted in
a pre-tax charge to the Company's operations of approximately $2.6 million in 2001.

In  February  2000,  the  Company  acquired  all  of  the  operating  assets  of  the  Innovex  Group,  Inc.
(""Innovex'') for approximately $47.8 million. At the date of acquisition, the Company paid approximately
$28.7 million in consideration and $0.2 million in transaction costs, respectively. Pursuant to the acquisition
agreement, the remaining purchase consideration, plus interest, was contingently payable based on future
events. During 2001, these contingencies were met, resulting in approximately $16.2 million of additional
purchase price and $2.9 million in compensation to the former owners. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement,
payment of $10.5 million of the contingent amounts and associated interest was made in August 2001 and
$10.7 million was paid in 2002. There are no remaining contingent obligations.

Each acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The consolidated Ñnancial
statements reÖect the operations of the acquired businesses for the periods after their respective dates of
acquisition. The purchase consideration was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on fair values
as follows:

acquisitions made prior to 2000. As a result, the Company wrote oÅ $9.1 million of certain core technology as
of December 31, 2000.

The unrealized gain (loss) associated with each individual category of cash and investments was not

signiÑcant for either of the periods presented.

In December 2000, the Company invested $158.1 million in a trust managed by an investment advisor.
The purpose of the trust is to maintain suÇcient liquidity in the event that the Company's debentures are
redeemed in March 2004. The Company's investment in the trust matures on March 22, 2004, and comprises
all of the trust's assets. The trust's assets primarily consist of AAA-rated zero-coupon corporate securities.
The trust entered into a credit risk swap agreement with the investment advisor, which eÅectively increased
the yield on the trust's assets and for which value the trust assumed the credit risk of ten investment-grade
companies.  The  eÅective  yield  of  the  trust,  including  the  credit  risk  swap  agreement,  is  6.72%  and  the
principal balance will accrete to $195 million in March 2004. The Company records its investment in the trust
and the underlying investments and swap as held-to-maturity zero-coupon corporate security in its consoli-
dated Ñnancial statements. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of the held-to-maturity
investment unless a decline in the fair value of the trust is other-than-temporary, in which case the Company
would  recognize  a  loss  in  earnings.  The  Company's  investment  is  at  risk  to  the  extent  that  one  of  the
underlying  corporate  securities  has  a  credit  event  resulting  in  non-payment  to  the  counterparty  that  may
include bankruptcy, dissolution, or insolvency of the issuers. There have been no losses associated with the
trust's underlying corporate securities to date. The amortized cost of the Company's investment in the trust
was approximately $180.4 million at December 31, 2002 and $169.0 million at December 31, 2001, which was

F-17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

classiÑed as long-term corporate investments in our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2002, the
fair value of the trust's assets was $180.2 million.

Other than the Trust investments described above, the Company's short and long-term investments are
classiÑed as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on
sales of securities and other-than-temporary write downs of investments classiÑed as available-for-sale, using
the  speciÑc  identiÑcation  method,  were  $0.7  million  and  $2.8  million,  respectively,  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2002 and $8.1 million and $7.7 million respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2001. At
December 31, 2002, the average original contractual maturity of the Company's short-term available-for-sale
investments  was  approximately  17  months.  The  Company's  long-term  available-for-sale  investments  at
December 31, 2002 include $297.2 million of investments with original contractual maturities ranging from
one to Ñve years, $20.5 million of investments with original contractual maturities ranging from Ñve to 10 years
and $1.1 million of investments with contractual maturities of 35 years. The average remaining maturities of
the  Company's  short  and  long-term  available-for-sale  investments  at  December  31,  2002  was  four  and
42  months,  respectively.  The  Company  also  owns  $0.2  million  in  equity  investments  not  due  at  a  single
maturity date classiÑed as long-term investments.

During 2002 the Company invested in two instruments with an aggregate amount of $38 million that
include structured credit risk features whereby the Company's investment is at risk to the extent that several
of the underlying corporate securities, above speciÑed threshold amounts, have credit events that result in a
loss to the counterparty that may include bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the issuers. The risk level of
these instruments is equivalent to an ""AA'' single security. There have been no credit events associated with
the underlying corporate securities to date. If, in the future, one of these instruments has credit events, which
would accrue to the Company, the Company's investment will be reduced to fund the loss, not to exceed the
principal value of the investment.

The  change  in  net  unrealized  securities  gains  (losses)  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income
includes unrealized gains (losses) that arose from changes in market value of securities that were held during
the period and gains (losses) that were previously unrealized, but have been recognized in current period net
income due to sales of available-for-sale securities. This reclassiÑcation has no eÅect on total comprehensive
income or stockholders' equity and was immaterial for all periods presented.

In connection with the Company's eÅorts to manage the credit quality and maturities of its investment
portfolio, during 2001 the Company sold corporate debt securities with an accreted value of $165.5 million
that  were  previously  designated  as  held-to-maturity  and  purchased  higher  credit  quality  corporate  debt
securities  with  interest  rates  that  reset  quarterly.  Additionally,  during  2001,  the  Company  terminated  a
forward  bond  purchase  agreement  previously  designated  as  a  hedge  of  forecasted  purchases  of  corporate
security investments. The sale of securities and the termination of the forward bond purchase agreement
resulted in a realized gain of approximately $8.0 million, which is included in other expense, net in the 2001
consolidated statement of income.

6. EMPLOYEE STOCK COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS

Stock Compensation Plans

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has Ñve stock-based compensation plans, which are described
below. The Company grants stock options for a Ñxed number of shares to employees with an exercise price
equal to or above the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. As mentioned in Note 2, the Company
applies the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its Ñxed stock plans and its stock purchase
plan. However, the impact on the Company's Ñnancial statements from the use of options is reÖected in the
calculation of earnings per share in the form of dilution (see Note 14).

The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25 because the alternative fair value accounting
provided for under SFAS No. 123 requires use of option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model,
that were developed for use with traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, as
opposed to employee stock options, which are typically non-transferable and last up to ten years. Currently,
management believes there is not one agreed upon option valuation method that is comparable among all
reporting companies. SpeciÑcally, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assump-
tions, including assumptions related to the expected stock price volatility over the expected life of the option.
Because the Company's stock-based  awards  to  employees have characteristics  signiÑcantly  diÅerent  from
those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially aÅect the fair
value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing pricing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. Since the Black-Scholes model is
based on statistical expectations, the calculation can result in substantial earnings volatility that may not agree,
as to timing or amount, with the actual gain or loss accrued or realized by the option holder.

Had compensation cost for the Company's Ñve stock-based compensation plans been determined based
on the fair value at the grant dates for grants under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123,

For purposes of the pro forma calculations, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of the
grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model,  assuming  no  expected  dividends  and  the  following
assumptions:

Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a stock price is expected to Öuctuate during the expected
life of the option. Much of the value of a stock option is derived from its potential for appreciation. This
potential is reÖected in the volatility of the underlying stock, which can be measured by periodic changes in
the historical stock price. The higher the volatility, the higher the fair value of the option.

The risk-free interest rate represents the current rate associated with zero coupon U.S. Government
securities with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options being valued. The risk-free interest
rate is used in determining the stock's forward value, and only modestly impacts the fair value of the option.
The higher the risk-free interest rate, the higher the fair value of the option.

The expected life of the option is a measure of the amount of time it is expected to take for an employee
to  exercise  their  option.  Estimating  expected  lives  involves  consideration  of  several  factors,  including  the
characteristics of employees receiving the option awards, the vesting period of the awards, historical exercise
patterns of employees, and the expected volatility of the underlying stock. The longer the expected life, the
more time the option holder has available to allow the stock price to increase, and thus the higher the option's
fair value.

The determination of the fair value of all options is based on the assumptions described in the preceding
paragraphs, and because additional option grants are expected to be made each year and forfeitures will occur
when employees leave the Company, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma
eÅects on reported net income (loss) for future years.

Fixed Stock Option Plans

The Company's amended and restated 1995 Stock Plan (the ""1995 Plan'') was originally adopted by the
Board on September 28, 1995 and approved by the Company's stockholders in October 1995. Under the terms
of the 1995 Plan the Company is authorized to grant incentive stock options (""ISOs'') and nonqualiÑed stock
options (""NSOs''), make stock awards and provide the opportunity to purchase stock to employees, directors
and oÇcers and consultants of the Company. The 1995 Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of a
maximum of 69,945,623 (as adjusted for stock splits) shares of Common Stock, plus, eÅective January 1,
2001 and each year thereafter, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the total number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31 of the preceding year. Under the 1995 Plan, a
maximum of 60,000,000 ISOs may be granted and ISOs must be granted at exercise prices no less than
market value at the date of grant, except for ISOs granted to employees who own more than 10% of the
Company's combined voting power, for which the exercise prices will be no less than 110% of the market value
at the date of grant. NSOs, stock awards or stock purchases may be granted or authorized, as applicable, at
prices no less than the minimum legal consideration required. Under the 1995 Plan, as amended, ISOs must
be granted at exercise prices no less than market value at the date of grant, provided however, that if an NSO
is expressly granted in lieu of a reasonable amount of salary or cash bonus, the exercise price may be equal to
or greater than 85% of the fair market value at the date of such grant. ISOs and NSOs expire ten years from
the date of grant. All options are exercisable upon vesting. The options typically vest over four years at a rate
of 25% of the shares underlying the option one year from the date of grant and at a rate of 2.08% monthly
thereafter.

The Company's amended and restated 2000 Director and OÇcer Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
""2000 Plan'') was originally adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the Company's stockholders
on May 18, 2000. Under the terms of the 2000 Plan, the Company is authorized to make stock awards, provide
eligible  individuals  with  the  opportunity  to  purchase  stock,  grant  ISOs  and  grant  NSOs  to  oÇcers  and
directors of the Company. The 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares, plus, eÅective on
January 1, 2001, on January 1 of each year, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one-half of one
percent (0.5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31 of
the preceding year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be
issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 2000 Plan. Under the 2000 Plan,
ISOs must be granted at exercise prices no less than market value at the date of grant, provided however, that
if an NSO is expressly granted in lieu of a reasonable amount of salary or cash bonus, the exercise price may
be equal to or greater than 85% of the fair market value at the date of such grant. ISOs and NSOs expire ten
years from date of grant. All options are exercisable upon vesting. The options typically vest over four years at
a rate of 25% of the shares underlying the option one year from date of grant and at a rate of 2.08% monthly
thereafter.

The  amended  and  restated  1995  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option  Plan  (the  ""Director  Option
Plan'')  was  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  September  28,  1995  and  approved  by  the  Company's
stockholders  in  October  1995.  The  Director  Option  Plan  provides  for  the  grant  of  options  to  purchase  a
maximum  of  3,600,000  (as  adjusted  for  stock  splits)  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  the  Company  to  non-
employee directors of the Company.

Under the current terms of the Director Option Plan, each director who is not also an employee of the
Company and who is Ñrst elected as a director will receive, upon the date of his or her initial election, an
option to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock. Such options will vest at a rate of 33.33% per year from
the date of the grant for the Ñrst year and vest at a rate of 2.78% monthly thereafter. In addition, in the
calendar year following a director's Ñrst election to the Board of Directors, on the Ñrst business day of the
month  following  the  Annual  Stockholders'  meeting,  such  director  would  receive  an  additional  option  to
purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock, which shall vest at a rate of 8.33% per month, provided such

director continues to serve on the Board of Directors at the time of grant. All options granted under the
Director Option Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
of grant and a term of ten years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable to the extent vested only while
the optionee is serving as a director of the Company or within 90 days after the optionee ceases to serve as a
director of the Company.

The Company's 1989 Stock Option Plan (the ""1989 Plan'') as amended, permitted the Company to grant
ISOs and NSOs to purchase up to 25,256,544 (as adjusted for stock splits) shares of the Company's Common
Stock. Under the 1989 Plan, options may be granted at exercise prices no less than market value at the date of
grant. All options are fully exercisable from the date of grant and are subject to a repurchase option in favor of
the Company which lapses as to 25.00% of the shares underlying the option one year from the date of grant
and as to 2.08% monthly thereafter. If the purchaser of stock pursuant to the 1989 Plan is terminated from
employment with the Company, the Company has the right and option to purchase from the employee, at the
price paid for the shares by the employee, the number of unvested shares at the date of termination. No shares
have been repurchased under this Plan. EÅective November 1999 no further options may be granted under
this Plan.

The  amended  and  restated  1995  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan  (the  ""1995  Purchase  Plan'')  was
originally  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  September  28,  1995  and  approved  by  the  Company's
stockholders  in  October  1995.  The  1995  Purchase  Plan  provides  for  the  issuance  of  a  maximum  of
9,000,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  upon  the  exercise  of  nontransferable  options  granted  to  participating
employees. All U.S.-based employees of the Company, whose customary employment is 20 hours or more per
week and more than Ñve months in any calendar year, and employees of certain international subsidiaries, are
eligible to participate in the 1995 Purchase Plan. Employees who would immediately after the grant own 5% or
more of the Company's Common Stock, and directors who are not employees of the Company, may not
participate in the 1995 Purchase Plan. To participate in the 1995 Purchase Plan, an employee must authorize
the  Company  to  deduct  an  amount  (not  less  than  1%  nor  more  than  10%  of  a  participant's  total  cash
compensation to a maximum of $25,000) from his or her pay during six-month periods (each a Plan Period).

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock an employee may purchase in any Plan Period is
6,000 shares subject to certain other limitations. The exercise price for the option for each Plan Period is 85%
of the lesser of the market price of the Common Stock on the Ñrst or last business day of the Plan Period. If an
employee is not a participant on the last day of the Plan Period, such employee is not entitled to exercise his or
her option, and the amount of his or her accumulated payroll deductions are refunded. An employee's rights
under the 1995 Purchase Plan terminate upon his or her voluntary withdrawal from the 1995 Purchase Plan at
any  time  or  upon  termination  of  employment.  Under  the  1995  Purchase  Plan,  the  Company  issued
248,027 shares, 213,907 shares and 77,781 shares in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

BeneÑt Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) beneÑt plan (the ""Plan'') allowing eligible U.S.-based employees to
contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation, limited to an annual maximum amount as set periodically
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company, at its discretion, may contribute up to $0.50 on each dollar of
employee contribution, limited to a maximum of 6% of the employee's annual contribution. The Company's
matching contributions for 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $2.0 million, $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
The Company's contributions vest over a four-year period at 25% per year.

7. CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock

The Company has reserved for future issuance 71,221,641 shares of Common Stock for the exercise of
stock options outstanding or available for grant and 10,880,486 shares for the conversion of the zero coupon
convertible debentures into Common Stock.

On  May  18,  2000,  the  stockholders  approved  an  increase  of  authorized  Common  Stock  from

400,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share to 1,000,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share.

Stock Repurchase Programs

The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  has  authorized  $600  million  of  repurchase  authority  under  the
Company's stock repurchase program, the objective of which is to manage actual and anticipated dilution. All
shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock.

The Company is authorized to make open market purchases paid out of general corporate funds. During
the  years  ended  December  31,  2002  and  2001,  the  Company  purchased  9,300,000  and  3,135,500  shares,
respectively  of  outstanding  Common  Stock  on  the  open  market  for  approximately  $75.7  million  and
$90.7 million (at an average per share price of $8.14 and $28.92), respectively.

From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with Ñnancial institutions as part of the share
repurchase program in order to lower the Company's average cost to acquire shares. These arrangements are
described below.

The Company was a party to two agreements, executed during 2001 and 2000, with a large Ñnancial
institution, to purchase approximately 7.3 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at various times in
private transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, an aggregate of $150 million was paid to this
institution, with the ultimate number of shares repurchased dependent on market conditions. In May 2002, the
agreements  were  terminated  and,  upon  termination,  the  Company  received  3.0  million  of  the  remaining
shares. The Company received a total of 7,209,286 shares pursuant to these agreements. During 2002, the
Company entered into a new agreement, as amended, with this Ñnancial institution in a private transaction to
purchase up to 3.8 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at various times through February 2003.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, $25 million was paid to this institution during the third quarter of
2002.  During  2002,  the  Company  received  2,655,469  shares  under  this  agreement  with  a  total  value  of
$18.5 million. The agreement matured in February 2003 and the Company received 390,830 of the remaining
shares with a total value of $6.5 million.

During 2002, the Company entered into two private structured stock repurchase transactions with a large
Ñnancial institution. Under the terms of the Ñrst agreement and in exchange for an up front payment of
$25  million,  the  Company  was  entitled  to  receive  shares  of  its  Common  Stock  or  a  predetermined  cash
amount at the expiration of the agreement dependent upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock
at  maturity.  Upon  expiration  of  the  agreement  in  December  2002,  the  Company  received  approximately
$29.3 million in cash. Under the terms of the second agreement and in exchange for an up front payment of
$25 million, the Company is entitled to receive approximately 2.2 million shares of its Common Stock or a
predetermined cash amount at expiration of the agreement in March 2003. The form of settlement at maturity
of the second transaction will be dependent upon the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company sells put warrants that entitle the holder of each warrant to sell to the Company, generally
by  physical  delivery,  one  share  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock  at  a  speciÑed  price.  During  2002,  the
Company sold 2,300,000 put warrants at an average strike price of $11.10 and received premium proceeds of
approximately $3.3 million. During 2002, the Company paid $42.9 million for the purchase of 2,050,000 shares
upon  the  exercise  of  outstanding  put  warrants,  while  600,000  put  warrants  expired  unexercised.  As  of

F-24

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

December 31, 2002, 950,000 put warrants were outstanding, with exercise prices ranging from $7.18 to $12.58,
and expired on various dates between January and March 2003. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has a
total potential repurchase obligation of approximately $9.9 million associated with outstanding put warrants, of
which $7.3 million is classiÑed as a put warrant obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The remaining $2.6 million of outstanding put warrants permit a net-share settlement at the Company's option
and  are  not  recorded  as  a  put  warrant  obligation  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheet.  The  outstanding  put
warrants  classiÑed  as  a  put  warrant  obligation  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  will  be  reclassiÑed  to
stockholders' equity when each warrant is exercised or when it expires. Under the terms of certain put warrant
agreements, the Company must maintain certain levels of cash and investment balances. As of December 31,
2002, the Company was in compliance with the required levels.

In December 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a large Ñnancial institution requiring
that this institution sell to the Company up to 1,560,000 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at
Ñxed prices if the Company's common stock trades at designated levels between December 16, 2002 and
January 23, 2003. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had a potential remaining repurchase obligation
associated with this agreement of approximately $9.1 million, which is classiÑed as common stock subject to
repurchase in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During January 2003, this agreement expired and
no shares were repurchased.

Stock Splits

On January 19, 2000, the Company announced a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend

paid on February 16, 2000, to stockholders of record as of January 31, 2000.

The number of options issuable and previously granted and their respective exercise prices under the
Company's stock option plans have been proportionately adjusted to reÖect stock splits. The accompanying
consolidated Ñnancial statements have been retroactively restated to reÖect stock splits.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The

Company has no present plans to issue such shares.

8. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In  March  1999,  the  Company  sold  $850  million  principal  amount  at  maturity  of  its  zero  coupon
convertible subordinated debentures (the ""Debentures'') due March 22, 2019, in a private placement. The
Debentures were priced with a yield to maturity of 5.25% and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $291.9 million, net of original issue discount and net of debt issuance costs of $9.6 million.
Except  under  limited  circumstances,  no  interest  will  be  paid  on  the  Debentures  prior  to  maturity.  The
Debentures are convertible at the option of the security holder at any time on or before the maturity date at a
conversion rate of 14.0612 shares of the Company's Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount at
maturity of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company could redeem the Debentures
on or after March 22, 2004. Holders could require the Company to repurchase the Debentures, on Ñxed dates
and at set redemption prices (equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount), beginning on
March 22, 2004. In October 2000, the Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the Company to
repurchase up to $25 million of the Debentures in open market purchases. Additionally, in April 2002, the
Board of Directors granted additional authority of $100 million to the Company to repurchase Debentures
through private transactions, bringing the total repurchase authority to $125 million. The Board of Directors'
authorization  to  repurchase  the  Debentures  allows  the  Company  to  repurchase  Debentures  when  market
conditions are favorable. As of December 31, 2002, 76,000 units of the Company's Debentures representing
$76.0 million in principal amount at maturity, have been repurchased under these programs for $29.9 million.

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

During 2002, the Company early adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, and accordingly, the
Company recorded an operating gain of approximately $1.6 million during 2002 as a result of Debenture
repurchases since the date of adoption.

9. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value of cash and cash  equivalents,  accounts receivable,  accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items. The Company's investments
classiÑed as available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets, based primarily on quoted market prices for such Ñnancial instruments. The aggregate fair value of the
Company's available-for-sale investments was $396.3 million and $437.9 million at December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The Company's held-to-maturity investments had a carrying value of $180.4 million and
$169.0 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and an aggregate fair value of $180.2 million and
$170.7 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, based on dealer quotation. The carrying amount
of  the  Company's  Debentures  at  December  31,  2002  and  2001  were  approximately  $333.5  million  and
$346.2  million,  respectively.  The  fair  value  of  the  Debentures,  based  on  the  quoted  market  price  as  of
December 31, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $334.0 million and $388.0 million, respectively.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases certain oÇce space and equipment under various operating leases. In addition to
rent, the leases require the Company to pay for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses.
Certain of these leases contain stated escalation clauses while others contain renewal options.

Rental  expense  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2002,  2001  and  2000  totaled  approximately
$24.4  million,  $17.1  million  and  $8.7  million,  respectively.  Rental  expense  for  2002  includes  lease  losses
associated  with  the  vacancy  of  certain  of  the  Company's  leased  properties,  as  discussed  below.  Sublease
income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was approximately $1.7 million and there was no sublease
income during 2001. Lease commitments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining
terms in excess of one year and sublease income associated with non-cancelable subleases are as follows:

In April 2002, the Company entered into a synthetic lease with a substantive lessor totaling approxi-
mately $61.0 million for its corporate headquarters oÇce space in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The synthetic
lease represents a form of oÅ-balance sheet Ñnancing under which an unrelated third party lessor funded 100%
of the costs of acquiring the property and leases the asset to the Company. The synthetic lease qualiÑes as an
operating lease for accounting purposes and as a Ñnancing lease for tax purposes. The Company does not
include the property or the lease debt as an asset or a liability on its consolidated balance sheet. Consequently,

F-26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

payments are made pursuant to the lease as operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of
income. The Company entered into the synthetic lease in order to lease its headquarters properties under more
favorable terms than under its previous lease arrangements.

The initial term of the synthetic lease is seven years. Upon approval by the lessor, the Company can
renew the lease twice for additional two-year periods. The lease payments vary based on the London Interbank
OÅered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a margin. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to
sublease  the  property  and  upon  thirty-days'  written  notice,  the  Company  has  the  option  to  purchase  the
property  for  an  amount  representing  the  original  property  cost  and  transaction  fees  of  approximately
$61.0 million plus any lease breakage costs and outstanding amounts owed. Upon at least 180 days notice prior
to the termination of the initial lease term, the Company has the option to remarket the property for sale to a
third  party.  If  the  Company  chooses  not  to  purchase  the  property  at  the  end  of  the  lease  term,  it  has
guaranteed a residual value to the lessor of approximately $51.9 million and possession of the buildings will be
returned to the lessor. If the fair value of the building were to decline below $51.9 million, the Company would
have to make up the diÅerence under its residual value guarantee, which could have a material adverse eÅect
on the Company's results of operations and Ñnancial condition.

The synthetic lease includes certain Ñnancial covenants including a requirement for the Company to
maintain a pledged balance of approximately $63.0 million in cash and/or investment securities as collateral.
The Company manages the composition of the pledged investments and investment earnings are available for
operating purposes. Additionally, the Company must maintain a minimum cash and investment balance of
$100.0 million, excluding the Company's Debentures, collateralized investments and equity investments, as of
the end of each Ñscal quarter. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $113.5 million in
cash and investments in excess of those required levels. The synthetic lease includes non-Ñnancial covenants
including the maintenance of the properties and adequate insurance, prompt delivery of Ñnancial statements to
the lender of the lessor and prompt payment of taxes associated with the properties. As of December 31, 2002,
the Company was in compliance with all material provisions of the arrangement.

During 2002 and 2001, the Company took actions to consolidate certain of its oÇces, including the exit of
certain leased oÇce space and the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements. Lease obligations related
to these existing operating leases continue to 2018 with a total remaining obligation at December 31, 2002 of
approximately $28.5 million, of which $6.8 million, net of anticipated sublease income, was accrued for as of
December  31,  2002,  and  is  reÖected  in  accrued  expenses  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  Ñnancial
statements. In calculating this accrual, the Company made estimates, based on market information, including
the  estimated  vacancy  periods  and  sublease  rates  and  opportunities.  If  actual  circumstances  prove  to  be
materially  worse  than  management  has  estimated,  the  total  charges  for  these  vacant  facilities  could  be
signiÑcantly higher.

During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company recognized tax beneÑts related
to the exercise of employee stock options in the amount of $25.7 million, $28.0 million and $63.9 million,
respectively. This beneÑt was recorded to additional paid-in capital. At December 31, 2002, the Company had
approximately $35.4 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, a substantial portion of which begins to
expire in 2020. The Company will record the beneÑt of the net operating loss carryforwards generated from the
exercise of employee stock options, through additional paid-in capital when the net operating loss carryfor-
wards are utilized.

During 2001, the Company acquired an entity with approximately $37.9 million of net operating loss
carryforwards. Additionally, the Company had approximately $6.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards
from prior acquisitions. These net operating loss carryforwards are limited in any one year pursuant to Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 and begin to expire in 2010. The Company had approximately $22.9 million of
remaining  net  operating  losses  at  December  31,  2002  subject  to  Internal  Revenue  Code  Section  382
limitations.

At  December  31,  2002,  the  Company  had  research  and  development  tax  credit  carryforwards  of
approximately $9.0 million that expire beginning in 2018. The Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards

of  approximately  $10.7  million  at  December  31,  2002  that  expire  beginning  in  2003.  Additionally,  the
Company had alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.1 million at December 31,
2002. These credits do not expire.

The Company does not expect to remit earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, during 2002

and 2001 the Company did not provide for deferred taxes on foreign earnings.

12. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

The Company operates in a single market consisting of the design, development, marketing, sales and
support of access infrastructure software and services for enterprise applications. The Company's revenues are
derived from sales in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (""EMEA'') and Asia-PaciÑc regions.
These three geographic regions constitute the Company's reportable segments.

The Company does not engage in intercompany revenue transfers between segments. The Company's
management evaluates performance based primarily on revenues in the geographic locations in which the
Company operates. Segment proÑt for each segment includes certain sales, marketing, general and adminis-
trative expenses directly attributable to the segment and excludes certain expenses that are managed outside
the reportable segments. Costs excluded from segment proÑt primarily consist of research and development
costs,  amortization  of  intangible  assets,  interest,  corporate  expenses  and  income  taxes,  as  well  as,  non-
recurring charges for in-process research and development and write-down of technology. Corporate expenses
are  comprised  primarily  of  corporate  marketing  costs,  operations  and  certain  general  and  administrative
expenses, which are separately managed. Accounting policies of the segments are the same as the Company's
consolidated accounting policies.

Previously, the Company formed wholly-owned subsidiaries in various locations within EMEA and Asia-
PaciÑc. These subsidiaries are responsible for sales and distribution of the Company's products. Prior to the
formation of these subsidiaries, sales in these geographic segments were classiÑed as export sales from the
Americas segment. For purposes of the presentation of segment information, the sales previously reported as
Americas export sales have been reclassiÑed to the geographical segments where the sale was made for each of
the periods presented.

In July 2001, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning system. The new system was
designed  to  provide  a  structure  that  would  meet  the  growing  demands  of  the  Company  and  to  provide
management improved focus on the results of operations and the Company's Ñnancial resources. The features
and functionality of the new system allowed the Company to summarize and classify information included in

F-29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

the results of operations diÅerently than that provided by the Company's legacy information systems. The
Company  began  planning  for  the  new  information  system  in  2000,  and  as  a  result,  detailed  transaction
information for 2001 and 2000, prior to the implementation of the new system, was retained and converted to
the new system. Information for the years ended 2001 and 2000 has been reclassiÑed to reÖect these changes.

the Company operates, are presented below.

To purchase certain investments during 2002, the Company initiated an inter-segment loan whereby the
Americas transferred approximately $134 million to EMEA. The decrease in the Americas identiÑable assets
and increase in EMEA's identiÑable assets is primarily the result of this agreement. This loan was repaid
during early 2003.

Export  revenue  represents  shipments  of  Ñnished  goods  and  services  from  the  United  States  to

13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges. A substantial portion of the Company's anticipated overseas expense and capital
purchasing activities are transacted in local currencies. To protect against reductions in value and the volatility
of future cash Öows caused by changes in currency exchange rates, the Company has established a hedging
program. The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce a portion of its exposure to these
potential changes. The terms of such instruments, and the hedging transactions to which they relate, generally
do  not  exceed  12  months.  Principal  currencies  hedged  are  British  pounds  sterling,  Euros,  Swiss  francs,
Japanese  yen  and  Australian  dollars.  The  Company  could  choose  not  to  hedge  certain  foreign  exchange
transaction exposures due to immateriality, prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures, and
availability of appropriate hedging instruments. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had in place
foreign currency forward sale contracts with a notional amount of $48.9 million and $13.1 million, respectively,
and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with a notional amount of $128.4 million and $60.9 million,
respectively. The aggregate net fair value of these contracts at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were recorded as
assets of $3.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

In order to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, in November 2001, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $174.6 million that was to expire in March 2004. The
swap converted the Öoating rate return on certain of the Company's available for sale investment securities to
a Ñxed interest rate. In October 2002, the Company terminated this interest rate swap agreement. Upon
termination, the Company received a cash payment of $9.2 million as settlement under the swap agreement,
and there was approximately $2.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The swap
was previously accounted for as an eÅective cash Öow hedge, and in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 133, the remaining $2.4 million, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income was to be
recognized in interest income ratably along with the interest cash Öows from the investments through the
original termination date of the swap in March 2004. As a result of the sale of certain investments underlying
this swap agreement in December 2002, the forecasted interest cash Öows from the investments were no longer
probable and interest income of approximately $3.4 million related to the terminated swap was recognized.

In  connection  with  the  eÅorts  to  manage  the  credit  quality  and  maturities  of  its  available-for-sale
investment portfolio, during 2001 the Company terminated a forward bond purchase agreement previously
designated as a hedge of forecasted purchases of corporate security investments. As a result, the Company
recorded a realized gain of $1.4 million, which is included in other expense, net on the 2001 consolidated
statements of income. At the time of the sale, the Company realized approximately $0.5 million of amounts
previously classiÑed in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

Fair Value Hedges. The Company uses derivatives to hedge against the change in fair value of certain of
its available-for-sale securities due to changes in interest rates. During December 2002, the Company entered
into  12  interest  rate  swap  agreements  with  an  aggregate  notional  amount  of  $208.0  million  related  to
12 speciÑc available-for-sale securities. The swaps qualify for the short-cut method of accounting and expire
on various dates through November 2007. The instruments swap the Ñxed rate interest on the underlying
investments to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a speciÑed margin. Changes in the fair value of the
derivatives are recorded in earnings along with related designated changes in the value of the underlying
investments.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedges. The Company utilizes credit default contracts for investment
purposes that either do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133.
Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in other expense, net, if any. Under the
terms of these contracts, the Company assumes the default risk, above a certain threshold, of a portfolio of
speciÑed high credit quality referenced issuers in exchange for a Ñxed yield that is recorded in interest income.
In the event of default by underlying referenced issuers above speciÑed amounts, the Company will pay the
counterparty an amount equivalent to its loss, not to exceed the notional value of the contract. The primary
risk associated with these transactions is the default risk of the underlying issuers. The risk levels of these
instruments are equivalent to ""AAA'' and ""Super AAA'' single securities. The purpose of the credit default
contracts is to increase the eÅective yield on certain of the Company's available-for-sale investments.

During  December  2002,  the  Company  entered  into  two  credit  default  contracts  with  an  aggregate
notional amount of $100.0 million that expire during December 2007. The Company has pledged $104 million
of investment securities as collateral for these contracts. The Company maintains the ability to manage the
composition  of  the  pledged  investments.  Accordingly,  these  securities  are  not  reÖected  as  restricted
investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Ñxed yield earned on these contracts was
not material at December 31, 2002, and is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. For the year ended December 31, 2002, there was no change in fair value of these credit
default contracts and there were no credit events related to the underlying reference issuers.

The ineÅectiveness of hedges on existing derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2002,
was not material. As of December 31, 2002, the Company recorded $6.3 million of derivative assets and
$6.2  million  of  derivative  liabilities,  representing  the  fair  values  of  the  Company's  outstanding  derivative
instruments in other current assets and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The  change  in  net  unrealized  derivative  gains  (losses)  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income
includes unrealized gains (losses) that arose from changes in market value of derivatives that were held during
the period, and gains (losses) that were previously unrealized, but have been recognized in current period net
income due to termination or maturities of derivative contracts. This reclassiÑcation has no eÅect on total
comprehensive income or stockholders' equity.

15. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, establishes accounting standards for the
recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset retirement cost. It also
provides accounting guidance for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.
SFAS No. 143 is eÅective in Ñscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with early adoption permitted. The
Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material impact on its consolidated
Ñnancial position, results of operations or cash Öows upon adoption. The Company plans to adopt SFAS
No. 143 eÅective January 1, 2003.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (""FASB'') issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission
of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections''
SFAS No. 145, among other things, requires gains and losses on extinguishment of debt to be classiÑed as part
of  continuing  operations  rather  than  treated  as  extraordinary,  as  previously  required  in  accordance  with
SFAS  4.  SFAS  No.  145  also  modiÑes  accounting  for  subleases  where  the  original  lessee  remains  the
secondary  obligor  and  requires  certain  modiÑcations  to  capital  leases  to  be  treated  as  a  sale-leaseback
transaction.  The  Company  early  adopted  the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  145,  during  2002  and  recorded
$1.6  million  in  gains  from  the  repurchase  of  the  Debentures  as  part  of  continuing  operations  in  the
accompanying consolidated statements of income.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities. SFAS No. 146 nulliÑes the guidance previously provided under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue

F-34

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

No. 94-3, ""Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination BeneÑts and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).'' Among other things, SFAS No. 146 requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred
as opposed to when there is commitment to a restructuring plan as set forth under the nulliÑed guidance. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 and expects no material impact from adoption on its
Ñnancial position, results of operations or cash Öows.

In  December  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  148,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation Ì
Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to
the  fair  value  based  method  of  accounting  for  stock-based  employee  compensation.  This  statement  also
amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
interim Ñnancial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and
the eÅect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is eÅective for Ñscal years beginning after
December 15, 2002. The Company expects no material impact on its Ñnancial position, results of operations or
cash Öows from adoption.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (""FIN'') No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN
No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual Ñnancial statements
about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN No. 45 also clariÑes requirements for the
recognition of guarantees at the onset of an arrangement. The initial recognition and measurement provisions
of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modiÑed after December 31, 2002.
The disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 are eÅective for interim or annual Ñnancial statements after
December 15, 2002. The Company implemented the disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45 at December 31,
2002. The Company had no material impact on its Ñnancial position, results of operations or cash Öows as a
result of this implementation.

In  January  2003,  the  FASB  issued  FIN  No.  46,  Consolidation  of  Variable  Interest  Entities,  which
addresses consolidation by a business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneÑciary. FIN
No. 46 is eÅective immediately for certain disclosure requirements and for variable interest entities created
after January 1, 2003, and in the Ñrst Ñscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for all other
variable interest entities. The Company is currently in the process of determining the eÅects, if any, on its
Ñnancial position, results of operations and cash Öows that will result from the adoption of FIN No. 46.

16. LEGAL MATTERS

In February 2002, a stockholder Ñled a complaint (the ""Complaint'') in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware against the Company and certain of its current and former oÇcers and directors. The
Complaint purported to state a direct claim on behalf of a putative class of stockholders and a derivative claim
nominally on behalf of the Company for breach of Ñduciary duty based on the Company's alleged failure to
disclose all material information concerning the Company's business and operations in connection with a
proposal to be voted on at the Company's  annual  meeting of stockholders in May  2000. The Complaint
asserted claims similar to those alleged by such stockholder in a suit that was Ñled in September 2000, and
subsequently  voluntarily  dismissed  without  prejudice  in  July  2001.  The  Complaint  sought  compensatory
damages, rescission of the Company's 2000 Director and OÇcer Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and other
related relief. The parties have since agreed to a non-monetary settlement of the action not involving the
validity  of  the  2000  Director  and  OÇcer  Stock  Option  and  Incentive  Plan.  The  settlement  is  subject  to
approval by the court. A hearing on the approval of the settlement has not yet been scheduled.

In addition, the Company is a defendant in various matters of litigation generally arising out of the
normal course of business. Although it is diÇcult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management
believes,  based  on  discussions  with  counsel,  that  any  ultimate  liability  would  not  materially  aÅect  the
Company's Ñnancial position, result of operations or cash Öows.
