PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
USDATA Corporation (the "Company") is a global supplier of real-time
component-based application software tools for automation and application
software products for manufacturing. These products and services are designed to
help customers manage their business in real time, reduce operating costs,
shorten cycle times and improve quality in their manufacturing operations. The
Company was reincorporated in the state of Delaware in 1992. The Company has a
strong global presence with more than 45,000 installs located in more than 60
countries throughout the world, channel support locations worldwide and a global
network of distribution and support partners. Customers include original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), strategic accounts, integrators and end
customers, and 17 of the 25 largest global manufacturers use the Company's
software.
The Company's software enables manufacturers to access more accurate
and timely information - whether they are on the plant floor, in the office, or
around the globe. The Company's solutions span a wide range of manufacturing
processes, from monitoring equipment to tracking product flow, and are designed
to integrate with customers' existing manufacturing and business software. This
combination of product breadth and ease of integration is intended to provide a
total plant solution that defines new levels of manufacturing performance and
gives customers a distinct competitive advantage.
The Company is committed to solving customer problems and increasing
productivity in the manufacturing and production environments through
technological innovation. The Company's customers are in a wide variety of
industries including; chemical, oil and gas, food, beverage, automotive,
aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, transportation and other industries.
The Company's family of software provide a powerful set of software
tools and applications designed for users who are technically competent but who
may not be experienced software programmers.
The Company's subsidiary eMake Corporation ("eMake") was dedicated to
Internet applications for manufacturing. eMake's services and products were
designed for make-to-order manufacturers responding to changing orders,
demanding customers, shorter production cycles and increasing technology needs.
eMake offered solutions for Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP"), business
production system, to the small to medium sized manufacturing community. eMake's
services and products were intended to provide a cost-effective,
easy-to-implement business solution with secure, real-time visibility through
the Internet to customers, suppliers and partners.
eMake was formed by combining the Company's 1999 acquired Smart Shop
Software Inc.'s ("Smart Shop") operations with a team of the Company's personnel
with expertise in real time production and Internet technologies.
The Company had three key initiatives in 2000:
(1) Position the Company to benefit from the rapid (predicted two to four year)
adoption cycle of new technology to support anticipated eBusiness needs for
internet based infrastructure in manufacturing.
o Launch a new subsidiary, eMake, with products and services
focused on small manufacturers
o Significant investment in marketing, sales, and infrastructure
for growth
(2) Invest in the FactoryLink(R) product line and expand our market reach in
automation
(3) Introduce a new product suite built around Xfactory(R) to support
collaborative manufacturing
In February 2001, management of the Company determined that the market
adoption rate of the technology around eMake was not progressing in a manner to
support the necessary resources needed to continue eMake's newly developed
operating plan. As a result, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to
terminate the operations of eMake as part of a strategy to commit the Company's
resources to its core business. The Company recorded an estimate of loss on
disposal of $1.2 million in the 2000 Consolidated Financial Statements,
including estimated operating losses of $360 thousand expected to be incurred
through the disposal date of March 31, 2001. eMake has been reported as a
discontinued operation, and the consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to segregate the net assets and operating results of the business.
See Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details
regarding eMake's operating results.
With respect to the other two initiatives, the Company maintained the
course with a major product release of FactoryLink and the launch of the
Xfactory Production Suite in 2000. Although FactoryLink's revenue declined
steeply in the first quarter, revenue grew every quarter since then and Xfactory
revenue grew 31% in 2000.
In the fall of 2000, the primary focus was returning the Company to
profitability as quickly as possible so a number of actions were implemented in
the fourth quarter to sharpen execution, reduce complexity and increase
efficiencies. These included aligning our resources against the highest value
opportunities, consolidating the Company's corporate infrastructure, and
re-
2
3
deploying the Company's marketing and channel resources to align them with the
highest growth opportunities. The restructuring actions have been completed in
the Company's core business and the Company's new plan is aligned with market
conditions.
The Company has developed a 2001 plan based on reduced revenues and
operating expenses. The Company has secured the cash that is expected to be
needed to fund operations and the USDATA community is focused on the future. See
Note 14 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
OVERVIEW
The Company develops, markets and supports component-based software
products for customers requiring enterprise-wide, open systems solutions for the
manufacturing and production markets. These software products provide customers
real-time component-based computer applications that provide interactive,
dynamic and graphical interfaces to manufacturing and production operations.
These applications collect, consolidate and communicate information about an
automated manufacturing process, typically drawn from complex operating sources
or from multiple sites throughout an enterprise, and enable the user to interact
with and control plant-wide processes. The real-time information provided by the
Company's products enables customers to reduce operating costs, improve product
quality and increase overall throughput and productivity.
The Company's software product, FactoryLink, is a process and control
solution used to develop custom supervisory control and data acquisition
("SCADA") and human machine interfaces ("HMI") for the supervision and control
of a broad range of automated processes. FactoryLink is a horizontal application
tool set used by system integrators and end customers to build automation and
control applications for a wide variety of industrial markets such as
electronics assembly, semiconductor, automotive, building automation, food and
beverage, pharmaceuticals, metals, mining, cement, oil and gas, electricity
generation, transmission and distribution, and water and waste water transport.
System and in-house integrators use the FactoryLink product line to
build applications for SCADA, building automation, distributed control systems,
electrical substation monitoring, pipeline monitoring and control, batch process
monitoring and control, continuous process monitoring and control, heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning, statistical process control, and
telecommunications.
In mid-1998, the Company introduced Xfactory, a manufacturing
production execution software product that enables customers to leverage their
existing business and planning systems with enterprise-wide, open systems
solutions for production management. In mid-2000, the Company introduced the
Xfactory Production Suite software enabling production, execution and tracking
for eManufacturing integration with business and supply chain systems. The
Company's solutions span a wide range of manufacturing processes, from
monitoring equipment to tracking product flow, and are designed to integrate
with customers' existing manufacturing and business software.
The Xfactory Production Suite consists of four modules: 1) Connector
for information exchange with business systems; 2) Tracker for production
tracking of customer orders and products; 3) Analyzer for performance
monitoring, genealogy, and data analysis and; 4) FactoryLink for data
acquisition and process management.
The target market for the Xfactory Production Suite is production and
visibility management for build/configure to order discrete manufacturing.
System integrators, consultants, and in-house IT use the Xfactory Production
Suite to support online Business-to-Business eCommerce by creating applications
for order status and change order management, visibility into manufacturing,
product tracking & genealogy, and collection and analysis for product line
development. The Xfactory Production Suite now has over 50 customers utilizing
over 3,000 seats.
BACKGROUND AND MARKET DEMAND
Traditional Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") systems have
product-centric views of the manufacturing enterprise. These business systems
provide decision-makers with an excellent understanding of product attributes
including material costs, bill of materials, labor costs and other attributes.
However, these business systems generally have no concept of the target process
parameters for actually producing finished goods or the actual process
parameters and conditions that occurred to generate specific lots of finished
goods.
Traditional process control systems have an excellent process-centric
view of manufacturing. They understand how things are made, target process
parameters and material movement. However, process control systems generally do
not have any concept of the actual product made - lot numbers, yield, quality
attributes, costing information, etc.
To make effective and efficient production decisions, both types of
information - product and process - must be used. This integration raises a
fundamental issue of how to create communication between the disparate nature of
business and process control systems. The Company's products are designed to
integrate business and process control systems for any production focused
enterprise.

FACTORYLINK(R)
FactoryLink is a collection of software tools used to build a variety
of SCADA/HMI applications in the manufacturing and process industries. It allows
customers to collect and monitor data from disparate process control systems.
FactoryLink acts as hub for real-time information that may be used by various
decision makers interested in the real-time status of the production process. In
2000, the Company released its latest version, FactoryLink 7, which is designed
to have a lower total cost of ownership than other SCADA/HMI products on the
market.
To simplify connecting to plant floor devices, the Company includes
support for Object Linking and Embedding ("OLE") for Process Control ("OPC") in
FactoryLink, making it an interoperable server that can collect and distribute
data throughout a multi-vendor manufacturing environment. FactoryLink's
extensive database connectivity and interfaces to MES and ERP products allow it
to function as the automation system hub, much broader than just HMI. Customers
can now leverage their existing investments in various HMIs and build an
integrated system, thereby eliminating existing islands of automation.
The FactoryLink software enables a customer to:
o Create easy to use, real-time supervisory control applications that
provide dynamic graphical representations of manufacturing and other
automated processes;
o Design, test and build an automation application without computer
programming knowledge through the use of an interactive graphical
interface, pull-down menus, mouse-driven, point-and-click commands and
fill-in-the-blank configuration tables;
o Develop automation applications that are portable and scaleable from
low-end to high-end systems;
o Deploy completed applications easily and economically throughout an
enterprise that may use different types of computer hardware and
operating systems;
o Provide an upgrade path by allowing easy modification of applications
in response to customers' changing business needs; and
o Maintain completed applications in an efficient and cost effective
manner.
FactoryLink's architecture permits the user to pick and choose the
functionality required for a particular application. It allows the user to
design high performance, real-time systems capable of handling large amounts of
data. Techniques for exception processing, message compression and high-speed
data transfer achieve optimal functionality under this architectural
arrangement.
In 1998, the Company released Year 2000 ready versions on all major
FactoryLink platforms historically supported by the Company, including DOS,
UNIX, OS/2, Microsoft Windows, NT and Windows 95. To provide the Company's
customers with a convenient means to obtain information regarding Year 2000
readiness of its products, the Company has maintained a web site
(www.usdata.com) with the latest information regarding Year 2000 readiness for
its products, including a statement of what it means when a product is
designated as Year 2000 ready. No significant Year 2000 related problems have
been reported with the Company's software products with the transition from 1999
into early 2001.
Xfactory(R)
The key component of enabling a collaborative manufacturing strategy is
the use of software solutions that enable manufacturers to create, accumulate,
access, and share both product information and manufacturing process information
across the extended enterprise and plant to-plant. The Company believes the
manufacturing industry will change its application infrastructure over the next
10 to 15 years as it moves from supporting a traditional business approach with
largely custom integration to collaborative supply chain manufacturing supported
by packaged software implementation. The Company believes that manufacturers
will integrate the plant into the business process, specification, costing,
planning, manufacturing, and delivery process. In addition to traditional
manufacturing investment to improve overall equipment efficiency and
equipment/operator ratio, and maximize plant assets, investments will also be
made to create faster time to market (volume), production visibility to the
supply chain and build to customer order.
In 2000, the Company launched the Xfactory Production Suite which now
has over 50 customers and over 3,000 seats installed. The Xfactory Production
Suite is designed to support traditional applications and the developing supply
chain collaboration applications. The Xfactory Production Suite consists of four
modules: 1) Connector for information exchange with business systems; 2) Tracker
for production tracking of customer orders and products; 3) Analyzer for
performance monitoring, genealogy, and data analysis and; 4) FactoryLink for
data acquisition and process management.

The Xfactory software product enables customers to develop versatile
and flexible collaborative manufacturing applications for production management,
product tracking, product scheduling, and genealogy tracking for supply chain
manufacturing and production processes. The information provided by the
Company's products enables customers to reduce operating costs, improve product
quality and increase overall supply chain throughput and productivity.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company's sales and support organization includes channel
management personnel, a corporate business development group for lead
generation, a technical resource group and a network of authorized worldwide
distributors that acquire licenses for the Company's products at a discount and
remarket and provide training, customer support and consulting services to
end-users. The Company's sales and support organization combines its internal
resources with the resources, expertise and customer base of qualified third
party distributors, remarketers and integrators. The Company's internal sales
and marketing organization consisted of approximately 20 persons as of December
31, 2000 and is based in Richardson, Texas. The Company has field sales
locations in other cities in the United States and Western Europe.
The Company goes to market via a network of distributors, referred to
as tier one partners ("TOPs") which collectively have approximately 50 sales
people making 65% of the Company's sales. An additional 25% of the Company's
sales are made through an OEM private label arrangement with Schneider
Automation. The remaining 10% is sold directly to key accounts. The Company has
over 100 certified integration partners around the world ranging from global
automation companies to small companies that do work with specific plants.
The Company is a Business-to-Business company with almost 100% of its
business conducted over the web. In addition to ordering and quoting, the
Company's PartnerNet is a web site utilized by its extended community for sales
support, product support, and marketing. This indirect strategy is critical to
the Company's success and future growth because each TOP functions as a virtual
extension of the Company's sales, service and support. Typically, the business
model of TOPs is primarily driven by industrial software revenues and related
products. TOPs generally have value-added products and services that are
additive to the Company's core products, and TOPs generally work cooperatively
with a community of local system integrators that actually perform project work
for the end-user. The Company regularly improves the TOP channel by monitoring
performance against a comprehensive set of metrics and upgrading distributors as
appropriate. In addition, the Company is planning to expand the number of U.S.
based TOPs to increase sales performance.
The TOP distribution channel has historically focused more on the
market with the FactoryLink product line and the Company intends to complement
this with direct sales activity to sell the Xfactory Production Suite and
Xcelerate services. In addition to increasing Xfactory Production Suite software
sales for the collaborative manufacturing market, the Company intends to
increase related consulting and implementation service revenue.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
The Company believes a high level of customer service and technical
support is critical to customer satisfaction, especially since many of the
Company's customers use its products to develop complex, large-scale
applications on which the success of their organizations may depend. The Company
has established, and intends to continue to enhance and expand, an integrated,
highly skilled channel service and technical support organization.
The Company provides first level, localized support through its highly
qualified and experienced TOPs. Support engineers are networked utilizing a
single knowledge based system that is intended to enable quick and efficient
transfer of data, software corrections and up to date technical information. In
addition to frequent interaction between the Company's support personnel and the
TOPs engineers, the Company also conducts regular training sessions to enhance
the technical knowledge and working relationship in this support community.
Annual software support agreements are available to customers in various forms.
The Company also provides customer support for its products via the
web, allowing users access to the latest software fixes, FAQ's (frequently asked
questions), detailed examples and on-line trouble shooting/problem submission.
The Company also maintains a FactoryLink Certified Integration Partner Program.
Members of this program have access to specific vertical market and industry
expertise and established relationships with prominent hardware and software.
The Company offers comprehensive training classes to customers and
third-party remarketers. Training classes are offered through in-house training
facilities in Richardson, Texas and through its authorized training TOPs
throughout the world. The training curriculum is a comprehensive program of
application development training in a hands-on, lab-based training environment.
The Company is also able to provide on-site training when required by customers.
During 2000, the Company introduced PartnerNet, which is a password
protected extranet available to the Company's key partners and customers.
PartnerNet, provides information to assist the Company's key partners and TOPs
with selling, supporting and training the Company's software products.

CUSTOMERS
Since the introduction of the FactoryLink software product in 1986, the
Company has licensed more than 45,000 copies of the product worldwide for use in
the chemical, oil and gas, food, beverage, public utility, pharmaceutical, pulp
and paper, automotive, aerospace, electronics, telecommunications, water
treatment, transportation and numerous other industries. Established end users
include Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., Ford Motor Company, Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, Hewlett-Packard Company, JT International, Michelin Tire
Corporation and Nestle Food Company. In the year ended December 31, 2000, no
single end user of the Company's products accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's total revenues.
The target market for the Xfactory Production Suite is production and
visibility management for build/configure to order discrete manufacturing.
System integrators, consultants, and in-house IT use the Xfactory Production
Suite to support online Business-to-Business eCommerce by creating applications
for order status and change order management, visibility into manufacturing,
product tracking & genealogy, and collection and analysis for product line
development. The Xfactory Production Suite now has over 50 customers including
recent sales to Flextronics (formerly JIT Electronics Pte Ltd), Kingston
Technology Company, DRS Technologies, Micro Systems Engineering, Inc., Philips
Assembly Centre Hungary Ltd, Bookham Technology, Crossroads Systems, Inc., Tower
Automotive, Inc., Magna International, Inc., Filtronics Compound Semiconductors
Ltd, DuPont Photomasks, Inc., Teksid Aluminio de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Simple
Technology.
Sales to foreign clients (primarily in Europe) continue to be a
significant source of revenue for the Company. For the year ended December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company realized revenues from its international
operations of $10.8 million (67% of revenues), $15.1 million (59% of revenues)
and $15.1 million (66% of revenues), respectively. Most of the Company's
international revenues were derived from sales and services related to
FactoryLink software products. See also Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information on foreign revenues.
The Company has maintained a long-term partner relationship with
Schneider Automation. Schneider Automation and its predecessors have been
purchasing for resale a private label, OEM version of FactoryLink from the
Company since 1989 and accounted for $3.8 million and $4.9 million or 24% and
19%, respectively, of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively.
PRODUCT INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's product development efforts are focused on expanding the
Company's portfolio of software products as well as maintaining the
competitiveness of its current products, including development of future
releases, improvements in the ease of use of its products and creation of new
application modules and development tools as well as the development of new
products that enable manufacturing performance improvement. The independence of
its products from underlying hardware platforms, Graphical User Interfaces,
Relational Database Management Systems, networks and other technologies and
standards gives the Company the flexibility to evaluate a wide range of new
opportunities to expand the current scope of its products. The Company's
development activities generally are driven by market requirements and to the
extent possible leverage known technologies and architectures.
During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company
invested approximately $12.3 million, $5.0 and $5.2 million, respectively, in
product development including $4.1 million, $2.5 million and $2.5 million of
capitalized software development costs in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the Company expended 77%, 20%
and 23%, respectively, of its total revenues on product development. The Company
anticipates that it will continue to commit resources to product development in
the future.
COMPETITION
The software markets in which the Company participates are intensely
competitive and are subject to rapid changes in technology and frequent
introductions of new computer platforms and software standards. As a result, the
Company must continue to enhance its current products and to develop new
products in a timely fashion to maintain and improve its position in this
industry. The Company competes generally on the basis of product features and
functions, product architecture, the ability to run on a variety of computer
platforms and operating systems, technical support and other related services,
ease of product integration with third party applications software, price and
performance.
The Company's FactoryLink product competes with a number of software
suppliers, including Intellution, owned by Emerson Electric, GEF Automation,
owned by FEF-Fuanuc, Rockwell Software, owned by Rockwell Automation and
Wonderware Corporation, owned by Invensys Software Systems, as well as large PLC
and DCS manufacturers that provide similar software along with their hardware
products.
6
7
The Company's Xfactory product competes with a number of software
suppliers, including GR Software, owned by Genrad Corporation, Consilium owned
by Applied Materials, Promis Systems owned by Brooks Automation, Camstar Systems
Inc., RWT Corporation, as well as smaller software companies that provide
similar software.
Additionally, certain businesses develop these types of systems
internally. Many of the Company's existing and potential competitors have longer
operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, sales,
marketing and other resources than the Company. Certain of these organizations
also have greater name recognition and a larger installed product base than the
Company. The Company's competitors could introduce products in the future with
more features and lower prices than the Company's product offerings. These
organizations could also bundle existing or new products with other products or
systems to compete with the Company. As the market for industrial automation and
process control software products develops, a number of companies with
significantly greater resources than the Company could attempt to increase their
presence in this market by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with
competitors of the Company. Any of these events could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, prospects, operations and financial condition.
BACKLOG
The Company typically ships software products within a short period of
time after acceptance of purchase orders. Accordingly, the Company typically
does not have a material backlog of unfilled orders for its software products,
and revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked in the
quarter. Any significant weakening in customer demand would therefore have an
almost immediate adverse impact on the Company's operating results and on the
Company's ability to maintain profitability.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company holds patents in the United States covering control systems
that employ the features embodied in its FactoryLink product. The Company has
registered its "USDATA," "FactoryLink" and "Xfactory" trademarks with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, as well as in several foreign countries. The
Company has applied for a U.S. and European trademark for its eMake product.
The Company regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect
it with a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret law,
license agreements, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical
measures. The Company requires employees to sign an agreement not to disclose
trade secrets and other proprietary information.
The Company's software products generally are licensed to end-users
under a perpetual, non-transferable, nonexclusive license that stipulates which
modules can be used and how many concurrent controllers may use them. The
Company relies primarily on "shrink wrap" licenses for the protection of its
products. A shrink wrap license agreement is a printed and/or electronic license
agreement included with the packaged software that sets forth the terms and
conditions under which the purchaser can use the product and binds the purchaser
by its acceptance and purchase of the software to such terms and conditions. In
addition, in some instances the Company licenses its products under agreements
that give licensees limited access to the source code of the Company's products.
The Company believes that existing intellectual property laws and other
protective measures afford only limited practical protection for the Company's
software. Furthermore, 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. Shrink-wrap licenses typically are not signed by the licensee and
therefore may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.
Accordingly, despite precautions taken by the Company, it may be possible for
unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse-engineer certain portions of the
Company's products or to obtain and use information that the Company regards as
proprietary.
While the Company's competitive position could be threatened by its
inability to protect its proprietary information, the Company believes that,
because of the rapid pace of innovation within its industry, factors such as the
technological and creative skills of the Company's personnel are more important
to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position within the
industry than are the various legal protections available for its technology.
As the number of software products in the industry increases and the
functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company believes that
software programs could increasingly become the subject of infringement claims.
Although the Company's products have not been the subject of an infringement
claim, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement
claims against the Company in the future or that any such assertion will not
result in costly litigation or require the Company to obtain a license to use
the intellectual property rights of such parties. In addition, there can be no
assurance that such a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all.

EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 90 full-time
employees. None of the Company's employees are subject to a collective
bargaining agreement, and the Company has not experienced any work stoppage. The
Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
The executive officers of the Company are elected annually by the Board
of Directors and hold office until their successors are elected and qualified.
The following person was an executive officer of the Company at December 31,
2000:
Name Age Position
---- --- --------
Robert A. Merry 51 President and Chief Executive Officer
Robert A. Merry - Mr. Merry joined the Company in July of 1997 as
President and Chief Executive Officer. From 1992 through 1997, Mr. Merry served
as President, Process Manufacturing SBU of EDS Corporation. Prior to his service
at EDS, Mr. Merry served as Vice President, Sales and Marketing for DTM
Corporation, from 1991 to 1992 and as Vice President, North American Operations
for Execucom Systems Corporation from 1985 to 1991.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company leases approximately 65,000 square feet of office space in
Richardson, Texas. The lease agreement for this office space was due to expire
in 2000. In February 2000, the Company amended the lease to extend the lease
term to 2010 and increase leased office space by approximately 30,000 square
feet in equal increments by mid-2000 and 2001. The first installment was
completed by December 31, 2000 and the second installment was completed in
February 2001 for a total of approximately 80,000 square feet of leased office
space by February 2001. As a result of the fourth quarter 2000 restructuring
plan, approximately 40,000 square feet of this office space is deemed to be
excess lease capacity that the Company is attempting to sub lease. See further
discussion in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations." The Company leases additional office space
for its eMake subsidiary in Post Falls, Idaho and for its channel support
locations in Europe. The Company believes that suitable additional or
alternative space will be available as needed to accommodate the corporate
operations and sales offices.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in various legal actions incidental to the
normal conduct of its business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

As of December 31, 2000, there were approximately 2,820 beneficial
holders of record of the Company's common stock (which amounts do not include
the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by brokerage houses
or clearing agencies but include each such brokerage house or clearing agency as
one stockholder).
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On September 12, 2000, SCP Private Equity Partners, L.P. ("SCP") and
Safeguard Capital 2000, L.P. ("Safeguard") purchased through a private placement
5,300,000 shares each, for a total of 10,600,000 shares, of eMake Corporation
Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Convertible Preferred
Stock (collectively referred to as the "Series A Preferred") and warrants to
purchase up to an additional 5,300,000 shares each of eMake Corporation Series
A-1 and Series A-2 preferred stock, respectively. The aggregate purchase price
of $26,500,000 was comprised of $6,936,754 in cash and cancellation of
$19,250,000 of the notes payable described in Note 10 and the related accrued
interest of $313,246.
The eMake Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of
eMake Corporation Class A common stock at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share
of common stock or into shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock at the
rate of one preferred share of the Company for each 40 shares of eMake Series
A-1 preferred stock owned. The eMake Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible
into shares of eMake Corporation Class B common stock at a conversion rate of
$2.50 per share of common stock or into shares of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock at the rate of one preferred share of the Company for each 40
shares of eMake Series A-2 preferred stock owned.
During the first quarter 2001, SCP and Safeguard each elected to
exercise their right to convert their eMake Series A preferred stock into shares
of the Company's Series B preferred stock. See Note 14 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
On March 30, 2001, the Company secured an equity infusion of $1.5
million from SCP through the issuance of 37,500 shares of Series C-1 Preferred
Stock of the Company and a warrant to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Series C-2
Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred"). In addition, SCP has committed to
purchase an additional 37,500 shares of Series C Preferred ("Option Stock") at
the purchase price of $40 per share or $1.5 million. The Company may exercise
its right to sell the Option Stock on or before the expiration of nine months
after March 30, 2001 ("Closing Date"), but not before two months after the
Closing Date, and the Company must be in compliance with specified monthly
targets as defined in the Series C Preferred Stock Agreement. The Series C
Preferred has a par value of $.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $80
per share plus cumulative dividends and interest. The preferred stock is
convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 100 shares
of common stock for each share of preferred stock and the cumulative dividends
are payable at $4.00 per share per annum in the form of additional shares of
Series C Preferred and in preference to any dividends on the Company's common
stock. As an additional condition to this equity financing, SCP and Safeguard
both agreed not to exercise their right to convert their Series A-1 and A-2,
respectively, warrants, issued by eMake. The excess of the liquidation
preference over the purchase price of the preferred stock will be accounted for
similar to a beneficial conversion feature which will be reflected as a $1.5
million dividend on preferred stock, increasing the loss applicable to common
stockholders for the first quarter of 2001.
In 1994, the Company issued warrants to Safeguard and a director of the
Company to purchase common stock of the Company. The warrants entitled Safeguard
and the director to purchase 698,238 and 77,582 shares, respectively, of common
stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.02 per share. In December 1999,
the director exercised his warrant to purchase 77,582 shares of the Company's
common stock and in June 2000 Safeguard exercised its warrant to purchase
698,238 shares of the Company's common stock for $2.1 million in cash.
All of the above referenced shares were issued pursuant to an exemption
by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The sales were made
without general solicitation or advertising. Each purchaser represented that he,
she, or it was acquiring the shares without a view to distribute and was
afforded an opportunity to review all documents and ask questions of the
Company's officers pertaining to matters they deemed material to an investment
in the Company's securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings for use in its
business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other
things, the Company's results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions
in loan agreements and financial condition and on such other factors as the
Company's Board of Directors may, at its discretion, consider relevant.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
USDATA Corporation (the "Company") is a global supplier of real-time
component-based application software tools for automation and application
software products for manufacturing. These products and services are designed to
help customers manage their business in real time, reduce operating costs,
shorten cycle times and improve quality in their manufacturing operations. The
Company has a strong global presence with more than 45,000 installs located in
more than 60 countries throughout the world, channel support locations worldwide
and a global network of distribution and support partners.
The Company's software enables manufacturers to access more accurate
and timely information - whether they are on the plant floor, in the office, or
around the globe. The Company's solutions span a wide range of manufacturing
processes, from monitoring equipment to tracking product flow, and are designed
to integrate with customers' existing manufacturing and business software. This
combination of product breadth and ease of integration is intended to provide a
total plant solution intended to improve manufacturing performance and give
customers a competitive advantage.
Revenues have been generated primarily from licenses of the Company's
FactoryLink and Xfactory software and secondarily from technical support and
service agreements, training classes and product related services. The support
and service agreements are generally one-year, renewable contracts entitling a
customer to certain software upgrades and technical support. Revenue from
services represented approximately 19%, 13% and 15% of revenues during the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
10
11
Included in the FactoryLink family of products are versions 6.5 and
6.6, real-time information Windows NT and Windows 98/95 platforms, supporting
powerful client access environments and technologies and providing Year 2000
("Y2K") readiness. In addition, the Company offers FactoryLink WebClient, which
provides the ability to view and control any FactoryLink server running
Microsoft Windows NT using a simple web browser.
In late June 2000, the Company released FactoryLink 7, a multi-user,
real-time SCADA product, developed to run on the Windows 2000 and Windows NT
operating systems. FactoryLink 7 was designed specifically to give businesses
access to a solution with the lowest total cost of integration, installation,
and support.
In mid-1998, the Company introduced Xfactory, a manufacturing
production execution software product that enables customers to leverage their
existing business and planning systems with enterprise-wide, open systems
solutions for production management. In mid-2000, the Company introduced the
Xfactory Production Suite software enabling production, execution and tracking
for eManufacturing integration with business and supply chain systems.
The Xfactory Production Suite consists of four modules: 1) Connector
for information exchange with business systems; 2) Tracker for production
tracking of customer orders and products; 3) Analyzer for performance
monitoring, genealogy, and data analysis; and 4) FactoryLink for data
acquisition and process management.
The Company focuses its sales efforts through selected distributors
capable of providing the level of support and expertise required in the
real-time manufacturing and process control application market. The division
currently has channel support locations in the United States and Europe. The
Company's distributors have sales locations throughout North and South America,
Europe, the Far East and the Middle East.
Effective July 1, 1998, the Company sold its Auto ID hardware
integration and servicing business. In conjunction therewith, during the first
quarter of 1998, the Company reported a loss of $1.5 million related to the
disposal thereof and $219 thousand related to operations through the date of
disposal.
During the fourth quarter 2000, the Company implemented a restructuring
plan designed to significantly reduce the Company's cost structure by reducing
its workforce and other operating costs. A revised operating plan was developed
to restructure and stabilize the business. See further discussion in the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section.
In February 2001, management of the Company determined that the market
adoption rate of the technology around eMake was not progressing in a manner to
support the necessary resources needed to continue eMake's newly developed
operating plan. As a result, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to
terminate the operations of eMake as part of a strategy to commit the Company's
resources to its core business. The Company recorded an estimate of loss on
disposal of $1.2 million in the 2000 consolidated financial statements,
including estimated operating losses of $360 thousand expected to be incurred
through the disposal date of March 31, 2001. eMake is reported as a discontinued
operation, and the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
segregate the net assets and operating results of the business. See Note 2 in
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding eMake's
operating results.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
Total revenues for the year ended 2000 were $16.0 million, a decrease
of $9.6 million or 37% compared to the same period in 1999. The decrease was
primarily a result of $9.4 million in lower software licensing revenue. The
decrease in software licensing revenue is primarily related to the Company's
FactoryLink product, partially offset by a 31% increase in software licensing of
Xfactory during 2000. The Company believes that the decrease in software
licensing revenues was primarily due to a major industry-wide decline in the
first quarter of 2000. Although the market did not deteriorate further
throughout the remainder of 2000, it did not recover to the same levels the
Company experienced in 1999. Additionally, while FactoryLink 7 was released on
June 30, 2000, it was substantially later than originally planned and has
adversely affected revenues during 2000. Since the first quarter of 2000,
revenues have shown steady growth quarter over quarter and it is anticipated
that this growth rate will continue at the same modest pace in 2001. While the
Company anticipates an improvement in revenues going forward, these market
dynamics could affect future buying decisions, making revenues and operating
results more difficult to forecast.
Selling and product materials expenses decreased $2.0 million from
$14.8 million in 1999 to $12.8 million for the same period in 2000. The Company
attributes the decrease to its cost reduction efforts under the revised
operating plan developed to restructure and stabilize the business. Selling and
product materials expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 80% for the
year ended December 31, 2000 from 58% for the same period in 1999 primarily
resulting from the decrease in revenues from 1999.
Product development expenses, which consisted primarily of labor costs,
increased $5.7 million from $2.5 million in 1999 to $8.2 million for the same
period in 2000, net of amounts capitalizable. Compared to 1999, the Company
increased its engineering development activities related to the FactoryLink and
Xfactory product lines. The Company capitalized $2.3 million
12
13
and $2.5 million of software development costs for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, primarily related to the next major
version of the FactoryLink product line during 2000.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million from $5.0
million in 1999 to $6.5 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is
primarily due to incremental consulting fees associated with refining the
Company's longer-term business plan. Also, during the second quarter 2000, the
Company appointed a Chief Operating Officer. This newly staffed position
contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses during 2000.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 41%
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 from 19% for the same period in
1999, primarily due to the decrease in revenues in 2000 combined with the fixed
cost nature of a majority of general and administrative costs.
During the year 2000, the Company implemented a restructuring plan
designed to reduce the cost structure by reducing its workforce and other
operating expenses. The Company recorded a one-time charge of $2.5 million
primarily consisting of employee severance and other employee related costs of
$1.1 million. The reduction in workforce included approximately 56 employees and
affected all functions of the Company. Other charges included in the $2.5
million are early lease termination and facility shutdown costs of $200
thousand, write-downs of redundant property and equipment of $81 thousand, lease
costs associated with vacated office space of $1.0 million and $91 thousand for
legal and other related costs. These one-time charges provide for future
streamlining of operations related to cost reduction initiatives. Of the total
amount expensed in 2000, approximately $827 thousand was paid through December
31, 2000 and approximately $1.4 million was paid through March 30, 2001. The
remaining obligations will be paid by December 31, 2001.
As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company recorded a net
loss from continuing operations of $14.9 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000, compared net income from continuing operations of $2.8
million for the same period in 1999.
DISCONTINUED OPERATION
In February 2001, the Company implemented a plan to terminate the
operations of eMake as part of a strategy to commit the Company's resources to
its core business. As a result, for the year ended 2000, the Company recorded an
estimated loss of $1.2 million related to the disposal of eMake, including $360
thousand in estimated operating losses to be incurred through the disposal date
of March 31, 2001. eMake is reported as a discontinued operation, and the
Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to segregate the net
assets and operating results of the business. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000, loss from discontinued operations was $28.3 million compared
to $5.2 million for the same period in 1999. The primary elements of the
increase in loss from discontinued operations are set forth below.
Total revenues for eMake were $1.1 million for the year ended 2000
compared to $1.4 million for the period ended December 31, 1999. The decrease is
primarily related to the market adoption rate of the technology around eMake's
products and services not progressing as quickly as anticipated.
Selling and product materials, product development and general and
administrative expenses for the discontinued operation increased $9.9 million,
$1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, compared to the same period in
1999. The increases are primarily attributable to incremental expenses
associated with developing technology, building the infrastructure, start-up and
launching of eMake.
During the year 2000, the Company implemented a restructuring plan
designed to reduce eMake's cost structure by reducing its workforce and other
operating expenses. The Company recorded a charge for eMake of $1.9 million
primarily consisting of employee severance and other employee-related costs of
$1.2 million. The reduction in workforce included approximately 93 employees and
affected all functions of eMake. Other charges included in the $1.9 million are
early lease termination and facility shutdown costs of $112 thousand,
write-downs of redundant property, plant and equipment of $308 thousand, lease
costs associated with vacated office space of $242 thousand and $10 thousand for
legal and other related costs. Of the total amount expensed in 2000,
approximately $667 thousand was paid through December 31, 2000 and approximately
$1.1 million was paid through March 31, 2001. The remaining obligation will be
paid by December 31, 2001.
Also, included in loss from discontinued operations are $2.4 million in
charges related to non-cash compensation and amortization of acquired intangible
assets compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 1999. In addition, during
1999 the Company recorded a $476 thousand charge to write off acquired in
process research and development costs. These charges are in connection with the
acquisition of Smart Shop Software, Inc. in 1999. During the fourth quarter
2000, the Company developed a revised operating plan to restructure and
stabilize eMake's operations. Accordingly, certain business activities were
abandoned or curtailed that required significant operating and capital
expenditures over the past 12 months. Based on the forecasted undiscounted cash
flows from the revised operating plan, the Company deemed that the acquired
intangible assets were impaired and recorded an asset impairment charge of $7.1
million, which is included in loss from discontinued operations. These
intangible assets were deemed to be impaired due to the Smart Shop element of
eMake being significantly curtailed as a result of the revised operating plan.
The asset impairment charge includes a write-off of goodwill and intangible
assets of $4.0 million, net and $1.5 million, net, respectively. Also included
in the impairment charge are capitalized website development costs and
13
14
capitalized software costs of $1.2 million, net and $365 thousand, net,
respectively. These costs were deemed to be impaired due to the curtailment of
the eMake portal project as a result of the revised operating plan.
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
Total revenues for 1999 were $25.6 million, an increase of $2.8 million
or 12%, compared to 1998. The increase was a result of a $3.1 million increase
in software licensing revenue, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in services
revenue. North American and international revenues were 47% and 53%,
respectively, of total revenues during 1999. North American and international
revenues increased 20% and 6%, respectively, in 1999 compared to 1998.
Selling and product materials expenses decreased $1.8 million or 11% in
1999 compared to 1998. This decrease was a result of decreased sales expenses of
$1.3 million, decreased marketing expenses of $0.2 million and decreased support
services of $0.3 million. These decreases were a result of the Company's own
cost reduction efforts. Selling and product materials expenses as a percentage
of revenues decreased to 58% for the year ended December 31, 1999 from 72% for
the same period in 1998.
Product development expenses (net of capitalized software development
costs), which consisted primarily of labor costs, decreased $200 thousand in
1999 compared to 1998. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in contract
engineering development activities related to the FactoryLink product line,
partially offset by development efforts for the Xfactory product line. The
Company capitalized $2.5 million of development expenses in both 1999 and 1998,
primarily related to the next major version of the FactoryLink product.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million or 16% for
the year ended December 31, 1999. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 19% for the year ended December 31, 1999
from 26% for the same period in 1998, as a significant portion of general and
administrative expenses were fixed in nature.
In connection with the acquisition of Smart Shop, the Company recorded
$1.7 million in charges, including non-cash compensation of $659 thousand,
amortization of acquired intangible assets of $595 thousand and a charge of $476
thousand to write-off acquired in-process research and development. Such charges
are included in discontinued operations.
As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company experienced
income from continuing operations of $2.8 million in 1999 versus a loss from
continuing operations of $2.1 million in 1998.
As discussed above, eMake is reported as a discontinued operation, and
the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to segregate the
net assets and operating results of the business. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999, loss from discontinued operations was $5.2 million. The
primary elements of the loss from discontinued operations are set forth below.
Selling and product materials, product development and general and
administrative expenses for the discontinued operation for the year ended 1999
were $3.0 million, $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Also, included
in loss from discontinued operations for 1999 are $1.3 million in charges
related to non-cash compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets,
as well as a $476 thousand charge to write off acquired in process research and
development costs. These charges are in connection with the acquisition of Smart
Shop Software, Inc. in 1999. Revenues of $1.4 million offset the aforementioned
charges.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's operating activities used $23.5 million of cash for the
year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $5.8 million for the same period in
1999, primarily due to a net loss of $44.4 million in 2000, partially offset by
improved collections on accounts receivable in 2000 and an increase in accounts
payable and other accrued liabilities from 1999.
Cash used in investing activities was $8.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 resulting from capital expenditures of $1.1 million and
software development costs of $4.1 million. The capital expenditures were
primarily attributable to computer equipment, software and other equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities are as follows:
In June 2000, Safeguard exercised its warrant to purchase 698,238
shares of the Company's common stock for $2.1 million in cash.
On February 8, 2000 and March 24, 2000, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary eMake, entered into two convertible promissory note
agreements with a subsidiary of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. ("Safeguard"), the
Company's primary
14
15
stockholder, for $2.5 million each, totaling $5.0 million in borrowings. The
promissory notes had an interest rate of 12% per annum and were due in full on
February 8, 2001 and March 24, 2001, respectively. If the notes payable were
paid in full at maturity, interest would be forgiven. The notes were paid in
full on September 12, 2000, as described below, and accrued interest of $322
thousand was forgiven.
At various times throughout 2000, a subsidiary of Safeguard provided
$10.75 million in financings to the Company or to eMake in exchange for four
demand notes ranging from $1.5 million to $5.0 million. Each demand note was due
the earlier of one year from the date of the note or 60 days following the date
of demand for payment. The notes had an interest rate based on a specified bank
prime rate plus one percent.
On August 14, 2000, SCP Private Equity Partners II, L.P. ("SCP")
provided $6.0 million in financing to the Company's subsidiary eMake in exchange
for a demand note due the earlier of one year from the date of the note or 60
days following the date of demand for payment. The note had an interest rate
based on a specified bank prime rate plus one percent. Concurrently, the Company
repaid the $2.5 million demand note dated July 28, 2000 to Safeguard plus
accrued interest of $13 thousand with proceeds from this demand note payable.
On September 12, 2000, the Company and eMake secured $26.5 million in
financing from a subsidiary of Safeguard and SCP through the issuance of
preferred stock. See Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion. In connection with this transaction, the Company received $6,936,754
in cash and Safeguard and SCP cancelled the then outstanding notes payable
balance due them of $19,250,000 plus accrued interest of $313,246.
In December 2000, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company entered
into a Note Agreement with Chase Manhattan Bank that provides for a $3.0 million
revolving credit availability through January 15, 2002. The Note Agreement bears
interest at prime rate plus 1.5%, or 11% at December 31, 2000, and has a
commitment fee of 1.25% per annum on the total commitment of $3.0 million. At
December 31, 2000, $750 thousand was drawn under to Note Agreement.
As a result of the loss from operations and resulting negative cash
flow, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its cost structure
by reducing its workforce and other operating expenses. Included in the
Company's revised operating plan were the operations of the Company's subsidiary
eMake. The revised operating plan included curtailing or abandoning certain
business activities of eMake and the Company as of the fourth quarter of 2000.
The Company recorded a one time charge of $2.5 million for the Company and $1.9
million for eMake, which is included in loss from discontinued operations.
The development and launch of eMake, in addition to the lower revenues
and increased expenses of the Company, significantly increased the Company's
operating expenses and cash requirements. In order for the Company to continue
its operations under its current business plan, additional public or private
debt or equity financing will be required. The Company has obtained additional
financing to provide the cash required under its restructured plan (see equity
infusion discussed below). If necessary, the Company will delay certain
operations and capital expenditures until adequate financing is obtained. In the
event the Company is unable to secure sufficient debt or equity financing, the
Company's operations would be significantly curtailed. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient financing or obtain such
financing on terms acceptable to the Company.
On January 31, 2001, SCP elected to exercise the right to acquire
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in exchange for
Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of eMake Corporation. In addition, a
subsidiary of Safeguard elected to exercise its right to acquire shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in exchange for Series A-2
Convertible Preferred Stock of eMake Corporation.
On March 30, 2001, the Company secured an equity infusion of $1.5
million from SCP through the issuance of 37,500 shares of Series C-1 Preferred
Stock of the Company and a warrant to purchase up to 75,000 shares of
Series C-2 Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred"). In addition, SCP has
committed to purchase an additional 37,500 shares of Series C Preferred
("Option Stock") at the purchase price of $40 per share or $1.5 million. For
more information see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137, which is effective for
USDATA beginning January 1, 2000. Earlier application for certain provisions of
this standard is permitted. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments. The Statement requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the financial
statements and measure those instruments at fair value, and it defines the
accounting for changes in the fair value of the derivatives depending on the
intended use of the derivative. SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.

16
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
("SAB 101"). SAB 101 summarizes certain of the staff's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions and accounting
for deferred costs in the financial statements. The Company adopted the
provisions of SAB 101 in the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Based on our
current revenue recognition policies, the adoption of SAB 101 did not impact our
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's exposure to market risk associated with changes in
interest rates relates to its variable rate bank note payable of $218 thousand
and its revolving line of credit of $750 thousand. Interest rate risk is
estimated as the potential impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position due to a hypothetical change of 50 basis points in quoted
market prices. This hypothetical change would not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations and financial position.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The consolidated financial statements and supplementary data of the
Company begins on page F-1 of this report. Such information is hereby
incorporated by reference into this Item 8.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On November 11, 1999, we dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our
independent accountants and engaged KPMG LLP as our independent accountants. We
have retained KPMG LLP for the current year ended December 31, 2000. Our Audit
Committee participated in and approved the decision to change independent
accountants. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial
statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principle. In connection with its audits for the two
most recent fiscal years and through November 11, 1999, we have had no
disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in
their report on the financial statements for such years. PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP furnished us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating that it agreed with the above statements. A copy of the
letter, dated November 15, 1999, is filed as Exhibit 16 to our Current Report on
Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 11,
1999.
A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the annual
meeting and will have an opportunity at the meeting to make a statement if he or
she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
USDATA CORPORATION:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USDATA
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and
comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years then ended. In connection with
our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. The
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of USDATA
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF USDATA CORPORATION
In our opinion, the consolidated statement of operations, of stockholders'
equity and of cash flows listed in the index appearing under Item 14 (a) (1) and
(2) on page 17 present fairly, in all material respects, the results of

"Company") for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

USDATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
USDATA Corporation (the "Company") is a global supplier of real-time
component-based application software tools for automation and application
software products for manufacturing. These products and services are designed to
help customers manage their business in real time, reduce operating costs,
shorten cycle times and improve quality in their manufacturing operations. The
Company provides this knowledge through software products and services and
delivers it through a community of business partners. The Company has channel
support locations in the United States and Europe. The Company's distributors
have sales locations throughout North and South America, Europe, the Far East
and the Middle East.
The Company's family of software products provide a powerful set of
software tools and applications designed for users who are technically competent
but who may not be experienced software programmers.
LIQUIDITY
As a result of the loss from operations and resulting negative cash
flow, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its cost structure
by reducing its workforce and other operating expenses. Included in the
Company's revised operating plan were the operations of the Company's subsidiary
eMake Corporation, Inc. ("eMake"). The revised operating plan included
curtailing or abandoning certain business activities of eMake and USDATA as of
the fourth quarter of 2000. In February 2001, the Company adopted a plan to
terminate the operations of eMake due to the market adoption rate of the
technology around eMake not progressing in a manner to support the resources
needed to continue eMakes's revised operating plan (see Note 2). The Company
continues to seek additional debt or equity financing necessary to execute
USDATA's revised operating plan. In the event the Company is unable to secure
sufficient debt or equity financing, the Company's operations would be further
curtailed. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
sufficient financing or obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company
(See Note 14).
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in preparation of these
consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at original cost. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and the costs of additions and major
betterments and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided in
amounts which amortize costs over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, generally three to five years, utilizing the straight-line method.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the
respective leases or estimated useful life of the improvement.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological
feasibility are charged to operations and included in product development costs.
Software development costs incurred after establishing technological
feasibility, and purchased software costs, are capitalized and amortized on a
product-by-product basis when the product
F7
26
is available for general release to customers. Annual amortization, charged to
cost of sales, is the greater of the amount computed using the ratio that
current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and
anticipated future gross revenues for that product, or the straight-line method
over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The total computer
software development costs capitalized for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $2.3 million
(net of a write-off of $1.8 million), $2.5 million, and $2.5 million,
respectively. The total costs amortized and charged to operations for 2000, 1999
and 1998 were $1.1 million, $0, and $.4 million, respectively. Accumulated
amortization at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $3.1 million and $2.0 million,
respectively.
SOFTWARE HELD FOR RESALE
In 1998, the Company purchased the underlying source code for a certain
software product, which is held for resale in the ordinary course of business.
The original purchase costs of such software were capitalized and are being
amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of
five years. Total costs amortized and charged to operations for 2000, 1999 and
1998 were $236 thousand, $237 thousand and $59 thousand, respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value
less cost to sell.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the licensing of software products is generally recognized
when the following criteria have been met: (a) a written contract for the
license of software has been executed, (b) the Company has delivered the product
to the customer, (c) the license fee is fixed or determinable, and (d)
collectibility of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from
software support maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the contract
term, generally not exceeding one year. Sales return rights are provided to
certain customers, under specified conditions. Revenues are presented net of
estimated returns, which historically have not been significant.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations, in accounting for stock
options and other stock based awards under its stock option plan.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
This method results in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The
carrying value of the Company's bank note payable and revolving line of credit
at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximates fair value as these notes payable
bear interest at market rates.
NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Net loss per share of common stock is presented in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Under SFAS No. 128, basic loss
per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed
by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when their inclusion would be
antidilutive to the results of continuing operations.
Options to purchase 1.5 million and 1.2 million shares of common stock
for 2000 and 1998, respectively, and warrants to acquire 0.8 million shares of
common stock for 1998 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share as their impact would be antidilutive.
F8
27
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company translates the balance sheets of its foreign subsidiaries
using year-end exchange rates and translates statement of operations amounts
using the average exchange rates in effect during the year. The gains and losses
resulting from the change in exchange rates from year to year have been reported
separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in
stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in the statements of operations.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company licenses software and provides services to established
companies. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for
estimated credit losses. At December 31, 2000, the Company had two customers
with outstanding accounts receivable balances of approximately $0.7 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. These customers represented approximately 24% and
6%, respectively, of the Company's revenues for 2000. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had two customers with outstanding accounts receivable balances of
approximately $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These customers
represented approximately 19% and 7%, respectively, of the Company's revenues
for 1999.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2001, management of the Company determined that the market
adoption rate of the technology around the Company's subsidiary eMake was not
progressing in a manner to support the resources needed to continue eMake's
newly developed operating plan. As a result, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a plan on February 26, 2001 to terminate the operations of eMake as of
March 31, 2001 as part of a strategy to commit the Company's resources to its
core business. At December 31, 2000, the Company recorded an estimated loss on
disposal of $1.2 million, including estimated operating losses of $360 thousand
expected to be incurred through the disposal date of March 31, 2001. eMake is
reported as a discontinued operation, and the consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to segregate the net assets and operating results of the
business. Prior year consolidated financial statements have been restated to
present eMake as a discontinued operation. Summarized financial data of the
discontinued operation as follows:

(a) Acquisition of Smart Shop
On August 6, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of
substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Smart Shop Software,
Inc. ("Smart Shop") for $6.4 million in cash, plus transaction costs of $0.2
million. The eMake segment operations were built around the Smart Shop
operations and assets acquired. This acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair
value of net tangible assets was allocated to various intangible assets,
consisting of developed technology of $1.8 million, assembled work force of $251
thousand and goodwill of $5.2 million, all of which were being amortized to
expense on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Accumulated amortization at
December 31, 1999 was $147 thousand, $21 thousand and $427 thousand,
respectively. In addition, $476 thousand of the purchase price was allocated to
in-process research and development costs. In-process research and development
relates to several of Smart Shop's research and development projects at various
stages of development related to Smart Manager 7.0, on which version Smart Shop
began development in March 1999. The value assigned to in-process research and
development was determined based on management's estimates of the percentage of
completion of the underlying development efforts, resulting net cash flows from
Smart Manager 7.0 and the discounting of such cash flows back to their present
value. The results of the acquired business have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition of August 6,
1999. The acquired intangible assets were written off in 2000 (See (c) below).
In connection with the acquisition, the Company also issued 500,000
shares of common stock to certain former shareholders of Smart Shop who became
employees of the Company. The shares of common stock were held in escrow as
collateral for performance under the purchase agreement to be released from
escrow to the shareholders in six tranches each six months following the closing
date of August 6, 1999. In connection with these shares, deferred stock
compensation of $1.9 million was recorded in stockholders' equity in 1999. The
deferred stock compensation is being recognized as compensation expense over 36
months, as the restrictions lapse. The Company recorded a non-cash stock
compensation charge of $659 thousand for the period ended December 31, 1999
related to the initial amortization of this compensation charge. During 2000,
the remaining shares were released from escrow due to the severance arrangements
described in (b) below. As a result, the Company accelerated the amortization of
the compensation charge in full and recorded a non-cash stock compensation
charge of $1.3 million for the period ended December 31, 2000.
(b) Severance and Other Restructuring Charges
During the year 2000, the Company implemented a restructuring plan
designed to reduce the Company's and eMake's cost structure by reducing its
workforce and other operating expenses. The Company recorded a one time charge
for eMake of $1.9 million primarily consisting of employee severance and other
employee-related costs of $1.2 million. Other charges included in the $1.9
million are early lease termination and facility shutdown costs of $112
thousand, write-downs of redundant property and equipment of $308
thousand, lease costs associated with vacated office space of $242 thousand and
$10 thousand for legal and other related costs.
Severance costs were determined based upon employees' years of service
as well as level within the organization. The reduction in workforce included
approximately 93 employees, or approximately 67%, and affected all functions of
eMake. Of the total amount charged to expense for the year ended December 31,
2000, approximately $603 thousand has been paid through December 31, 2000. All
affected employees were terminated as of December 31, 2000.
Of the total lease termination and facility shutdown costs charged to
expense for the year 2000, approximately $54 thousand has been paid through
December 31, 2000 and approximately $10 thousand has been paid related to legal
and other costs through December 31, 2000.
In addition, as a result of the restructuring plan, the Company
released shares from escrow, in accordance with the Smart Shop Software, Inc.
purchase agreement, which were held as collateral for certain employment-related
performance requirements. $610 thousand in non-cash compensation related to this
accelerated release of shares is included in loss from discontinued operations.
At December 31, 2000, $563 thousand in employee severance costs and
other employee related costs, $58 thousand in early lease termination and
facility shutdown costs and $242 thousand in vacated office space costs are
included in accrued liabilities. All severance and other restructuring costs
will be paid in full by December 31, 2001.
(c) Asset Impairment Charge
In conjunction with the Company's restructuring plan described above
and in Note 6, the Company re-evaluated eMake's business model during the fourth
quarter of 2000. A revised operating plan was developed to
F10
29
restructure and stabilize the business. Based on the forecasted undiscounted
cash flows from the revised operating plan, the Company deemed that certain
intangible assets of eMake were impaired and recorded an asset impairment charge
of $7.1 million. The amount of the impairment was measured based upon projected
discounted future cash flows from the revised operating plan. The asset
impairment charge includes a write-off of goodwill and intangible assets of $4.0
million, net and $1.5 million, net, respectively. Also included in the
impairment charge are capitalized website development costs and capitalized
software costs of $1.2 million, net and $365 thousand, net, respectively.
(d) 1998 Discontinued Operation
Effective July 1, 1998, the Company sold its Auto ID hardware
integration and servicing business ("Systems Operations"). In conjunction
therewith, during the first quarter of 1998, the Company reported a loss of
$1.5 million related to the disposal thereof and $219 thousand related to
operations through the date of disposal. As a result of this action, the
Company's revenues and operating expenses for the periods presented herein
reflect only the Software Operations with the net results of the Systems
Operations reported on its statements of operations under the caption
"Discontinued Operations". Revenues related to the Systems Operations were $3.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

In December 2000, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company entered
into a Note Agreement ("Note") with Chase Manhattan Bank that provides for a
$3.0 million revolving credit availability through January 15, 2002. The Note
bears interest at prime rate plus 1.5%, or 11% at December 31, 2000, and has a
commitment fee of 1.25% per annum on the total commitment of up to $3.0 million.
The Note is collateralized by certain foreign accounts receivable of the
Company's and is guaranteed by the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and Export-Import Bank of the United States for 90% of principal and
interest. At December 31, 2000, $750 thousand was drawn under the Note Agreement
and is included in current liabilities. Based on the qualifying borrowing base
arrangement under the Note, total availability at December 31, 2000 was $924
thousand. Due to the nature of the qualifying borrowing base arrangement, the
Company's borrowing capability varies each month depending on billings and cash
collections.

In conjunction with the Smart Shop acquisition, the Company, through
its wholly owned subsidiary, assumed a promissory note with a bank in the amount
of $297 thousand of which $218 thousand and $276 thousand was outstanding at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The note agreement requires monthly
installments of $7 thousand including interest at the bank prime rate plus 1.5%,
or 11% at December 31, 2000. The note is collateralized by all accounts
receivable, inventory, general intangibles, equipment and fixtures of the
wholly-owned subsidiary. The promissory note is guaranteed by the Company and
the final payment of the outstanding balance is due in August 2003. Interest
paid in 2000 and 1999 totaled $24 thousand and $10 thousand, respectively.
Also, in connection with the 1999 Smart Shop acquisition, the Company
assumed a $174 thousand noninterest-bearing note payable to a former Smart Shop
shareholder. The note is due in its entirety on August 5, 2002.

At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $43 million, which will expire beginning in 2018.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods
in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers
the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon these
considerations, the Company has fully reserved all deferred tax assets to the
extent such assets exceed deferred tax liabilities.
6. SEVERANCE AND OTHER RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During the year 2000, the Company implemented a restructuring plan
designed to reduce the Company's and its subsidiary eMake Corporation's
("eMake") cost structure by reducing its workforce and other operating expenses
(See Note 2 for discussion on eMake). The Company recorded a charge of $2.5
million primarily consisting of employee severance and other employee-related
costs of $1.1 million. Other charges included in the $2.5 million are early
lease termination and facility shutdown costs of $200 thousand, write-downs of
redundant property, plant and equipment of $81 thousand, lease costs associated
with vacated office space of $1.0 million and $91 thousand for legal and other
related costs. These charges provide for future streamlining of operations
related to cost reduction initiatives.
Severance costs were determined based upon employees' years of service
as well as level within the organization. The reduction in workforce included
approximately 56 employees, or approximately 41% of the workforce, and affected
all functions of the Company. Of the total amount charged to expense for the
year ended December 31, 2000, approximately $691 thousand has been paid through
December 31, 2000. All affected employees were terminated as of December 31,
2000.
Of the total lease termination and facility shutdown costs, vacated
office space and legal and other costs charged to expense for the year 2000,
approximately $59 thousand, $54 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively, has
been paid through December 31, 2000.
At December 31, 2000, $410 thousand in employee severance costs, $141
thousand in early lease termination and facility shutdown costs, $988 thousand
in lease costs associated with vacated office space and $68 thousand in legal
and other remaining costs are included in accrued liabilities. All severance and
other restructuring costs will be paid in full by December 31, 2001.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
PREFERRED STOCK
The board of directors is authorized, subject to certain limitations
and without stockholder approval, to issue up to 2.2 million shares of preferred
stock in one or more series and to fix the rights and preferences of each
series. In 1999, the board of directors designated 100,000 shares of authorized
preferred stock as Series A convertible Preferred Stock, of which 50,000 shares
are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999. In September 2000, the
Company executed an amendment to the Certificate of Designation for the
Company's Preferred Stock which changed the terms of the Series A Preferred
Stock and designated 800,000 shares of authorized but unissued preferred stock
as Series B convertible Preferred Stock. The amended terms included that neither
the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock are redeemable and that
the cumulative dividends are no longer interest bearing.
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
On August 6, 1999, the Company issued through a private placement
50,000 shares of the Company's Series A convertible Preferred Stock for $5.0
million to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc.
("Safeguard"), the Company's primary stockholder. The Series A Preferred Stock
has a par value of $.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $100 per share
plus cumulative dividends and interest. Dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock are cumulative and payable at a rate of $8.00 per share per annum and
preference to any dividends on the Company's common stock. The preferred stock
is convertible at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a
conversion rate of $4.65 per share of common stock. The preferred stock is also
convertible into shares of common stock of any majority owned subsidiary of the
Company through the earliest of the following events: (a) June 1, 2006; (b) the
commencement of the liquidation or winding up of the business of eMake; (c) the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of eMake; (d) a
merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving eMake in which
eMake is not the surviving entity or eMake is the surviving entity but after
which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of eMake before the
transaction hold less than 50% of eMake's outstanding voting securities after
the transaction; (e) the sale by eMake of its securities in a public offering;
or (f) a decrease in the ownership percentage of the Company's voting securities
of eMake to the extent that eMake would cease to be a consolidated subsidiary of
the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock was mandatorily redeemable according
to the original terms, however in September 2000, the Series A designation was
amended to remove the mandatory redemption provision. At December 31, 2000 and
1999, the aggregate liquidation preference was $5,568 thousand and $5,167
thousand based on cumulative dividends and interest of $568 thousand and $167
thousand, respectively.
SERIES A-1 AND A-2 REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF eMAKE
On August 7, 2000, the Company and eMake executed a Securities Purchase
Agreement to provide $26.5 million in financing in the form of eMake preferred
stock. The transaction was approved by the Company's stockholders on September
11, 2000 and the transaction was completed on September 12, 2000.
On September 12, 2000, SCP Private Equity Partners, L.P. ("SCP") and
Safeguard purchased through a private placement 5,300,000 shares each, for a
total of 10,600,000 shares, of eMake Corporation Series A-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively
referred to as the "Series A Preferred") and warrants to purchase up to an
additional 5,300,000 shares each of eMake Corporation Series A-1 and Series A-2
preferred stock, respectively. The aggregate purchase price of $26,500,000 was
comprised of $6,936,754 in cash and cancellation of $19,250,000 of the notes
payable described in Note 10 and the related accrued interest of $313,246.
The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.01 per share and a
liquidation preference of $2.50 per share plus cumulative dividends. The holders
of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock
can require eMake to redeem all the shares at $2.50, plus unpaid dividends, per
share at any time after September 12, 2005. Dividends on the eMake Series A
Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable at a rate of $.05 per share per
calendar quarter and in preference to any dividends on eMake's common stock. The
dividends are payable, with respect to the eMake Series A-1 Preferred Stock, in
additional shares of eMake Series A-1 preferred stock and with respect to the
eMake Series A-2 Preferred Stock, in additional shares of eMake Series A-2
preferred stock. The eMake Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares
of eMake Corporation Class A common stock at a conversion rate of $2.50 per
share of common stock or into shares of the Company's Series B preferred stock
at the rate of one USDATA preferred share for each 40 shares of eMake Series A-1
preferred share owned. The eMake Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into
shares of eMake Corporation Class B common stock at a conversion rate of $2.50
per share of common stock or into shares of the Company's Series B preferred
stock at the rate of one USDATA preferred share for each 40 shares of eMake
Series A-2 preferred share owned.
On January 31, 2001, SCP and Safeguard each elected to exercise their
right to convert their eMake Series A preferred stock into shares of the
Company's Series B preferred stock (See Note 14).

WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
In 1994, the Company issued warrants to Safeguard and a director of the
Company to purchase common stock of the Company. The warrants entitled Safeguard
and the director to purchase 698,238 and 77,582 shares, respectively, of common
stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.02 per share. In December 1999,
the director exercised his warrant to purchase 77,582 shares of the Company's
common stock and in June 2000 Safeguard exercised its warrant to purchase
698,238 shares of the Company's common stock for $2.1 million in cash.
WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SERIES A-1 AND A-2 PREFERRED STOCK
The eMake Series A-1 and eMake Series A-2 preferred stock warrants
issued to SCP and Safeguard, respectively, grant to the holders the right to
purchase up to an additional 5,300,000 shares of eMake Series A-1 convertible
preferred stock and up to an additional 5,300,000 shares of eMake Series A-2
convertible preferred stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $.01 per
share. The amount of eMake Series A Preferred Stock that can be acquired upon
exercise is based on the number of users licensed to use eMake's software from a
server or client workstation as of June 30, 2001 and varies from zero to a total
of 5,300,000 shares of eMake Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 5,300,000 shares of
eMake Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The warrants are exercisable anytime after
June 30, 2001 through the earliest of the following events: (a) June 1, 2006;
(b) the commencement of the liquidation or winding up of the business of eMake;
(c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of eMake;
(d) a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving eMake in
which eMake is not the surviving entity or eMake is the surviving entity but
after which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of eMake before the
transaction hold less than 50% of eMake's outstanding voting securities after
the transaction; (e) the sale by eMake of its securities in a public offering;
(f) a decrease in the ownership percentage of the Company's voting securities of
eMake to the extent that eMake would cease to be a consolidated subsidiary of
the Company; or (g) the exercise by SCP or Safeguard of its right to exchange
the last outstanding Series A share for shares of USDATA's Series B preferred
stock. These warrants expire on June 30, 2006. See Note 14.

8. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
In 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Equity Compensation Plan (the
1994 Plan), which provides for stock options to be granted to employees,
independent contractors and directors. The 1994 Plan was amended in 2000 to
provide for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to
the grant of incentive stock options (ISO), non-qualified stock options (NSO),
stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted stock awards. Options issued
under the 1994 Plan generally vest over a four-year period and are exercisable
up to eight years from the date of grant at a price per share equal to the fair
market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The 1994 Plan also
authorizes an automatic grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of common
stock to certain eligible directors upon initial election to the board of
directors and a further grant of options to purchase 3,000 shares of common
stock following the completion of each two-year period of service. Options
granted to directors have a eight-year term and vest over four years. At
December 31, 2000, there were 804,000 shares available for future grant under
the 1994 Plan.
F15
34
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock
option grants under these plans, which are described above. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. If
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been determined based
on the fair market value of the options at the grant dates for awards under
those plans consistent with the method provided by SFAS 123, the Company's net
loss and related per share amounts would have been reflected by the following
pro forma amounts for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:
(in thousands, except per share data) 2000 1999 1998

Diluted net loss per common share As reported (3.28) (0.19) (0.34)
Pro forma (3.36) (0.25) (0.40)
The grant date per share weighted average fair value of stock options
granted by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
was $4.89, $4.02 and $3.07, respectively.
The following assumptions were used by the Company to determine the
fair value of stock options granted using the Black Scholes option-pricing
model:

9. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company maintains a discretionary defined contribution plan
covering substantially all employees. During the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998, the Company made contributions of approximately $0.2 million,
$0.1 million and $89 thousand, respectively, to this plan.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Safeguard owns approximately 43% of the Company's outstanding common
stock, on a fully diluted basis. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company and
Safeguard entered into an administrative service agreement whereby Safeguard
provides the Company with business and organizational strategy, legal and
investment management, and merchant and investment banking services. The
agreement provides for the payment of an administrative service fee of $30
thousand per month. The initial agreement expired on December 31, 1995, and was
renewed annually on a year to year basis. The agreement was terminated as of
March 31, 2000. General and administrative expense on the consolidated
statements of operations includes $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million of
such administrative service fees for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998. Additionally, in 1999 the Company paid $48 thousand for legal fees and in
1998 the Company paid $75 thousand for consulting services to Safeguard, which
were not covered by this agreement.
On February 8, 2000 and March 24, 2000, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary eMake, entered into two convertible promissory note
agreements with a subsidiary of Safeguard for $2.5 million each, totaling $5.0
million in borrowings. The promissory notes had an interest rate of 12% per
annum and were due in full on February 8, 2001 and March 24, 2001, respectively.
The terms of the notes payable included a clause that if the notes payable were
paid in full at maturity, interest would be forgiven. The notes were paid in
full on September 12, 2000, as described below, and accrued interest of $322
thousand was forgiven.
At various times throughout 2000, a subsidiary of Safeguard provided
$10.75 million in financings to the Company or to eMake in exchange for four
demand notes ranging from $1.5 million to $5.0 million. Each demand note was due
the earlier of one year from the date of the note or 60 days following the date
of demand for payment. The notes had an interest rate based on a specified bank
prime rate plus one percent.
On August 14, 2000, SCP provided $6.0 million in financing to the
Company's subsidiary eMake in exchange for a demand note due the earlier of one
year from the date of the note or 60 days following the date of demand for
payment. The note had an interest rate based on a specified bank prime rate plus
one percent. Concurrently, the Company repaid the $2.5 million demand note dated
July 28, 2000 to Safeguard plus accrued interest of $13 thousand with proceeds
from this demand note payable.
On September 12, 2000, the Company and eMake secured $26.5 million in
financing from Safeguard and SCP through the issuance of preferred stock (See
Note 7). In connection with this transaction, the Company received $6,936,754 in
cash and Safeguard and SCP cancelled the then outstanding notes payable balance
due them of $19,250,000 plus accrued interest of $313,246.
In March 2000, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary eMake,
entered into a master agreement
F17
36
with CompuCom Systems, Inc. ("CompuCom"), a Safeguard partnership company. The
master agreement engaged Compucom to assist the Company with the planning,
development, implementation and support of eMake. This agreement was
subsequently terminated in December 2000 due to the Company's restructuring.
Total payments to CompuCom during 2000 were approximately $1.0 million.
In August 1999, the Company issued through a private placement
1,204,819 shares of the Company's common stock for $5.0 million and 50,000
shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock for $5.0 million to
a wholly owned subsidiary of Safeguard.
The manager of the Company's European operations was also the managing
director of the Company's largest distributor in the United Kingdom for the
first six months of 2000 and for the twelve months ended 1999 and 1998.
Effective February 1996, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with
this distributor to which, in general, the Company sells products at discounts
from list price representative of discounts given to similar distributors.
Consolidated revenues includes approximately $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.1
million of sales to this distributor for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer were $223
thousand and $291 thousand at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
Company has also entered into a shared facility arrangement, in which certain
office space and equipment are shared between the distributor and the Company's
European Headquarters. The shared facility arrangement was terminated in
September 2000.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEASES
The Company leases office space, office furniture, equipment and
automobiles under non-cancelable capital and operating lease agreements which
expire at various dates through the year 2010. Assets recorded under capital
leases were $1.1 million at December 31, 2000 and the related accumulated
amortization was $98 thousand at December 31, 2000. Amortization of capital
lease assets of $73 thousand and $8 thousand was included in depreciation
expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2000 under capital and
operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

respectively.
OTHER
The Company has other contingent liabilities resulting from litigation,
claims and commitments incident to the ordinary course of business. Management
believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a
materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

13. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA
The Company operates predominantly in one line of business, that being
development, marketing and supporting component-based software products for
customers requiring enterprise-wide, open systems solutions for the
manufacturing and production markets. The following table presents the pertinent
data relating to foreign operations:

The basis for grouping revenues from external customers is based on the
physical location of the customer. Long-lived assets, primarily property and
equipment, are principally located in the United States.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 30, 2001, the Company secured an equity infusion of $1.5
million from SCP through the issuance of 37,500 shares of Series C-1 Preferred
Stock of the Company and a warrant to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Series C-2
Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred"). In addition, SCP has committed to
purchase an additional 37,500 shares of Series C Preferred ("Option Stock") at
the purchase price of $40 per share or $1.5 million. The Company may exercise
its right to sell the Option Stock on or before the expiration of nine months
after March 30, 2001 ("Closing Date"), but not before two months after the
Closing Date, and the Company must be in compliance with specified monthly
targets as defined in the Series C Preferred Stock Agreement. The Series C
Preferred has a par value of $.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $80
per share plus cumulative dividends and interest. The preferred stock is
convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 100 shares
of common stock for each share of preferred stock and the cumulative dividends
are payable at $4.00 per share per annum in the form of additional shares of
Series C Preferred and in preference to any dividends on the Company's common
stock. As an additional condition to this equity financing, SCP and Safeguard
both agreed not to exercise their right to convert their Series A-1 and A-2,
respectively, warrants, issued by eMake. The excess of the liquidation
preference over the purchase price of the preferred stock will be accounted for
similar to a beneficial conversion feature which will be reflected as a $1.5
million dividend on preferred stock, increasing the loss applicable to common
stockholders for the first quarter of 2001.
On January 31, 2001, SCP elected to exercise the right to acquire
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in exchange for
Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of eMake Corporation. In addition, a
subsidiary of Safeguard elected to exercise their right to acquire shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in exchange for Series A-2
Convertible Preferred Stock of eMake Corporation.
