PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        You should read this summary together with the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information in our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our Business

        Artemis International Solutions Corporation, including its subsidiaries ("Artemis", "We", or the "Company"), is one of the world's leading providers of investment planning and control software and services. Since 1976 we have been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management. Improved performance requires continuous alignment of investments with strategic business goals, consequently the ability to effectively select, plan, budget and control investment projects becomes the key for optimizing corporate resources. We believe this creates an even greater requirement for integrated investment planning and control solutions to support the needs of value creation, visibility, governance and compliance.

        The Company has a 28-year history of successfully delivering enterprise and project management solutions to Global 2000 customers with extensive portfolio and project management needs. Our customers rely on Artemis' software to manage their business-critical processes. Customers use our software in such key areas as (i) IT management and governance, (ii) developing new products such as pharmaceuticals, (iii) helping governmental agencies promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources, (iv) maintaining nuclear power stations and (v) managing the Joint Strike Fighter Program for the US government.

        Our corporate offices are located at 4041 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 401, Newport Beach, CA 92660 and our telephone number at that address is (949) 660-6500.

Key Business Focus and Strategy

        Throughout 2003 and the first half of 2004 we have focused on refining our experience and understanding of market needs into a suite of industry optimized solutions that integrate application modules with packaged consulting services to provide an immediate response to today's business needs.

        Our understanding of the business issues encountered within different market environments has enabled us to fine tune our solutions to address the specific requirements of multiple industry sectors including Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, High Technology, National and local Government, Energy, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Pharmaceuticals.

        Artemis investment planning and control solutions ("Solutions") support value creation for both industry and the public sector by ensuring better alignment of strategy, investment planning and project execution. The Solutions can be deployed throughout the organization to address specific business needs including; IT management and governance, new product development, program management, fleet and asset management, power outage management and detailed project management.

        Artemis markets its Solutions through its own direct sales and service organizations with multiple office locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan and the Pacific Rim. Additionally, an extensive distributor network provides sales and service capabilities in other European countries, Australia, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

        With over 550,000 users worldwide, and a global network covering 47 countries, Artemis offers a unique ability in the portfolio and project management market based on its size, experience, global presence and innovative solutions. Our international presence not only enables us to service global organizations, but provides strong protection against fluctuating market demands that typically affect companies relying on specific geographies for the majority of their business. The international

1



dimension of Artemis is clearly reflected by our new web site (http://www.aisc.com) introduced this year. This site provides consistent information to the world in 10 languages, while enabling individual countries to promote their specific regional focus.

Our Products

        Artemis industry optimized Solutions are built around our two core software products:

        Artemis 7, which replaced Portfolio Director in July 2003, is a fully web-based product representing a true merger of investment planning, prioritization and control, and portfolio and organizational budgeting with operational project and resource management. Artemis 7 provides enterprise wide alignment of investments with business strategy without enforcing a single consistent level of process maturity across the entire organization. Artemis 7 includes additional functionality such as Program Management, Project Management, Resource Management and Time Recording and supports a broader spectrum of processes than Portfolio Director. Artemis 7, including its predecessor product Portfolio Director, has had wide acceptance in Western Europe and is now gaining traction in the United States and Asia; and

        Artemis Views, a web and client server product designed to manage project based work in organizations with well-established project management practices. Artemis Views comprises a series of core modules including: Project Management, Advanced Planning and Resourcing, Earned Value Management, Time Reporting and Project Analytics.

History

        As used herein:

        In April 2001, Opus360 and Proha entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), pursuant to which Opus360 agreed to exchange 80% of its post-transaction outstanding common stock for all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis, and 19.9% each of two Finnish subsidiaries of Proha, Intellisoft Oy and Accountor Oy, respectively.

        Proha acquired Legacy Artemis and transferred its interests in several companies based in Europe, Asia and the United States to Legacy Artemis in August 2000. In addition, Proha contributed its directly held interests in several companies to Artemis in conjunction with the share exchange transactions effective July 31, 2001 (see below for additional information). Each of the "Contributed Businesses" is reflected as having been contributed by Proha as of the later of the date Legacy Artemis was acquired by Proha, or the date these interests were under the control of Proha. These Contributed

2



Businesses are included in the results of Artemis as of the effective date a majority interest was transferred to Artemis.

        The active Contributed Businesses and the effective dates of their contribution to Legacy Artemis are as follows:

Current Company Name

  Location
  Contribution Date
Artemis Finland Oy   Finland   August 24, 2000
Artemis International Solutions Ltd.   United Kingdom   August 24, 2000
Artemis International Limited   Japan   August 24, 2000
PMSoft Asia Pte. Ltd.   Singapore   December 1, 2000
Artemis International S.p.A.   Italy   December 1, 2000
Enterprise Management Systems Sarl   Italy   December 1, 2000
Artemis International Sarl   France   December 1, 2000
Solutions International   France   December 1, 2000
Artemis International GmbH   Germany   December 1, 2000

        The transaction was structured in two steps (the "Share Exchange Transactions") since the number of authorized Opus360 shares needed to be increased to allow for the issuance of 8.0 million new shares to Proha. Despite its two step structure, the transaction was accounted for upon the consummation of the first closing because Proha gained a majority controlling interest and the voting agreements discussed below effectively "locked in" phase two of the transaction.

        In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Proha entered into two voting agreements, one with Ari B. Horowitz, (cofounder of Opus360 and member of the Artemis Board of Directors), and one with Opus360. Pursuant to these agreements, Mr. Horowitz agreed among other things to cause all of his 133,000 shares of Opus360 common stock to be voted in favor of the second closing. Also, Proha agreed among other things to cause all of its 3.0 million shares of Opus360 common stock to be voted in favor of the second closing.

        As a result of the above voting agreements, there were commitments to vote in favor of the second closing representing approximately 62% of the outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the transaction was not treated as a step acquisition since Proha obtained a majority controlling and voting interest upon consummation of the first closing.

        On July 31, 2001, Opus360 consummated the first phase of the share exchange. In connection with the share exchange Opus360 acquired all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis in exchange for approximately 3 million shares of common stock of Opus360. As a result of this exchange, Proha obtained a controlling ownership and management interest in Opus360. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy Artemis treated as the accounting acquiror and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." The second closing was completed on November 20, 2001 by the filing by Opus360 of a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") containing the required disclosures and financial information of the combined and consolidated companies. At the second closing, Opus360 delivered approximately 5 million additional shares of its common stock in return for the delivery by Proha of 19.9% of the outstanding common stock of two Proha subsidiaries. Since completion of the second closing, Proha has owned approximately 80% of the post-transaction outstanding common stock of the Company.

        In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to Pretax Ltd, an unrelated party, for a pretax gain of approximately $0.7 million.

3



        In December 2002, the Company sold the operations of ABC Technologies Sarl ("ABC Technologies—France"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Artemis International Sarl, France, to SAS Institute. The total proceeds from this transaction were approximately $0.4 million.

        In October 2003, the Company sold the assets of its Software Productivity Research ("SPR") operations to a group of individuals. SPR is now privately owned and separately registered in the state of Delaware as Software Productivity Research, LLC. Total consideration received for the sale of SPR including liabilities assumed by the buyer, was approximately $0.4 million.

Preferred Series A Financing

        On June 16, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of unregistered convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Series A Financing"). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") to certain accredited investors (the "Series A Holders"), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of common stock.

        In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share (the "Initial Warrants") and (ii) 210-day warrants (a) that are exercisable only in the event that the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price. The number of issuable shares will be determined by the "Six Month Price" which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the common stock of the Company for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date (the "Additional Warrants"). The Initial Warrants vested and became fully exercisable on the issuance date. The maximum number of shares issuable for the Additional Warrants is approximately 1,058,000 shares. As of October 14, 2004, the Six Month Price was $2.01 per share, which would result in the issuance of 388,636 Additional Warrants to the Series A Holders.

        Proceeds from the financing will be used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. $2,157,630 of the proceeds were transferred on behalf of Artemis directly to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") to pay off the over-advance portion due to Laurus under a line-of-credit arrangement. (See "Risk Factors" below and Note 19 to the Company's annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for additional information regarding the Laurus credit facility.) In addition, $2,342,370 of the proceeds were placed into escrow for a thirty-day period subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in an escrow agreement. The Company has met these conditions, and has received the funds held in escrow.

        The Series A Holders (i) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which holders of common stock are entitled to vote, (ii) have certain voting consents and (iii) so long as at least twenty-five percent of the shares of preferred stock are outstanding, have the right to elect one member of the board of directors of the Company.

        Each of the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments in connection with mergers, acquisitions, stock splits, dividends and the like. The Series A Holders may pay the exercise price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise of the warrant by paying cash equal to the number of shares to be purchased times the appropriate exercise price per share, or, if the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price to be paid per share, the Series A Holders may, at their option, exchange the right to purchase all or part of the maximum shares underlying the warrant for that number of shares equal in value to the amount by which the closing price of a share of our common stock preceding the exercise date exceeds the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased at that exercise price.

4



        So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, the common stock without the prior express written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Risk Factors

        Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review and consider the risks listed in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 6 of this prospectus, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock or to maintain or increase your investment in shares of our common stock. You should also review our 2003 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K/A on July 16, 2004, and our subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only onces we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. If any of the following risks, or any other risks not described below, actually occur, it is likely that our business, financial condition and operating results could be seriously harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

5



RISK FACTORS

        The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

We have Incurred Significant Losses in the Past, and We May Continue to Incur Significant Losses in the Future. If We Continue to Incur Losses, Our Business Will Be Adversely Affected to a Material Extent.

        The Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from operations since inception, and has a history of negative operating cash flow. At June 30, 2004, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $188,000. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $88.7 million at June 30, 2004, and experienced negative operating cash flow of approximately $2.6 million during the six months then ended. The Company will benefit from the funding received as a result of the Preferred Series A Financing transaction as described above. Said transaction, however, entails certain risks of its own, as described more fully below. And, notwithstanding receipt of such funds, the Company may not be able to achieve the level of sales or contain its costs in the long term sufficiently to generate sufficient cash flow to fund its operations.

Our Financial Condition has Raised Substantial Doubt Regarding Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

        As discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, we have incurred substantial operating and net losses, as well as (except calendar 2002) negative operating cash flows, since our inception. As a result, the independent auditor's report accompanying our consolidated financial statements starting with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, contains an explanation that our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Factors such as those described in the preceding risk factor raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management has undertaken to significantly reduce costs through a series of actions, including, but not limited to, lowering headcount, reducing operating costs and considering various financing alternatives for its operations. On June 16, 2004, we completed the Preferred Series A Financing transaction described above with a group of accredited investors headed by Emancipation Capital LP. Notwithstanding either the management undertakings to reduce costs or the raising of funds through the private placement, we cannot assure you that management's efforts will lead us to profitability, nor can we provide any assurance that we can continue raising funds on acceptable terms. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. As a result, our ability to continue to operate as a going concern will depend on our ability to raise working capital and further streamline our operations and/or increase sales. Our failure in any of these efforts may materially and adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Current Slow Economy or Downturn in other Parts of the World and Stagnant or Reduced Information Technology Spending May Negatively Affect Demand For Our Products And Services Which Would Adversely Affect Future Revenue.

        Recent worldwide economic indicators, including but not limited to gross domestic product and job growth figures in the U.S., reflect a slowdown in economic activity not only in the United States, but globally as well, including Western Europe (e.g., Germany) and Asia. Some parts of the world currently are suffering actual downturns, not just slow growth. This world wide trend is critical, given that approximately 73% of our Company's revenue in 2003 was from non-U.S. sources. Many reports have indicated either a significant decline or merely maintaining spending at current levels by corporations in the area of information technology, which is the overall market in which we participate. Contributing to

6



the lethargic spending activity are various conflicts throughout the world making headlines virtually every day. While we cannot specifically correlate the impact of macro-economic conditions on our sales activities, we believe that the economic conditions and international conflicts have resulted in decreased demand in our target markets, and in particular, have increased the average length of our sales cycle and decreased the size of our license transactions. To the extent that the current slow growth and/or economic downturn continues or increases in severity, we believe demand for our products and services, and therefore future revenue, will be stagnant or reduced. Even if the current global economy improves and international conflicts diminish, we cannot assure you that corporations will increase their information technology spending in our market or that we will be able to maintain or improve revenue levels.

        Contributing to the uncertainies are also certain trends some analysts have identified, including but not limited to:

Our Quarterly Financial Results Are Subject To Significant Fluctuation, And If Our Future Results Are Below The Expectations Of Investors, The Price Of Our Common Stock Would Likely Decline.

        Our operating results have in the past and could in the future vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our quarterly operating results are likely to be particularly affected by the number of customers licensing our products during any quarter and the size of such licensing transactions. Other factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:

7


        Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. In addition, we may be unable to accurately forecast our operating results because our business and the market in which we operate are changing rapidly. Such changes could adversely affect our forecasting ability, which currently relies on historical patterns showing that license revenue tends to be concentrated in the third month of each quarter due to traditional buying patters in the software industry. It is possible that, in some future periods, our revenue performance, expense levels, cash usage and/or other operating results will be below the expectations of investors and/or analysts. If this occurs, the price of our common stock might decline.

Our Sales Cycle Is Lengthy, Which Could Delay The Growth Of Our Revenues And/Or Increase Our Expenditures.

        Our software and services are complex, and include some newer products and services that have only recently been released commercially. We may face significant delays in acceptance of our newer products and services. We will not be able to recognize any revenue during the period in which a potential customer evaluates whether or not to purchase these products and/or services, a period which could extend for 6 to 9 months and beyond. The decision of a customer to use any of our products or services may be expensive, time consuming and complex and may require a customer to make a significant commitment of resources. As a result, we will have to expend valuable time and resources to educate interested persons at all levels in these organizations on the use and benefits of our products and services. Our expenditure of substantial time and resources to persuade customers to use our products and services and/or an unexpectedly long sales and implementation cycle for them will have a negative impact on the timing of our revenues.

We Currently Depend On A Small Number Of Major Customers For A Significant Amount Of Our Net Sales And Service Revenues. A Reduction In Business From Any Of These Customers, Or Failure By Any Of These Customers To Timely Pay Amounts Owed To Us, Could Adversely Affect Our Net Revenues And Could Seriously Harm Our Business And Financial Condition.

        During the year ended December 31, 2003, net sales (comprised of software licensing, support and consulting services) to our largest customer, Lockheed Martin Corporation, represented approximately 10% of our total net sales (and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, represents approximately 8% of our total net sales). We expect that we will continue to be dependent upon this customer for a similarly significant percentage of our revenues for the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you, however, that our net sales generated from this customer will reach or exceed historical levels in any future period. A cessation or reduction of business from this customer could, in the future, harm our business and financial condition. We cannot assure you that, if sales to this customer decline we will be able to replace these sales with sales to existing or new customers in a timely manner, or at all. If we could not replace these sales, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected to a material extent. Further, should this customer fail to timely pay us amounts owed, we would suffer a substantial decline in our cash flow, which would have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Integration Of Our Products With The Customer's Existing Systems May Be Difficult, Costly And Time-Consuming, And Customers Could Become Dissatisfied If Such Integration Requires More Time, Expense Or Personnel Than Expected.

        Subsequent to the initial installation of our product, our customers may decide to integrate our product with one or more of their other computer systems and software programs. Our customers may find that the integration of our products into additional computer systems and software programs, if

8



required, may be difficult, costly and time-consuming. Customers could become dissatisfied with our products if such integration requires more time, expense or personnel than they expected. Additionally, our losses could increase if, for customer satisfaction and reputational reasons and when we are engaged in integrating our software into the customer's additional computer systems and software programs, we do not bill our customers for all of the time and expenses we incur in connection with these integration issues, which would adversely affect our operating results.

New Customers May Not Accept Our Software And Services.

        Before making any commitment to use our software and services, potential users will likely consider a wide range of issues, including service benefits, integration with legacy systems, potential capacity, functionality and reliability. Prospective users will generally need to change established project and resource management practices and operate their businesses in new ways. Because some of our products and services represent new, Internet-based approaches for most organizations, those persons responsible for the use or approval of our products and services for our customers will be addressing many new technical and project management issues for the first time. If our newer products and services are not attractive to potential customers, we will fail to generate significant new revenues from these newer products and services. In addition, if software integrators fail to adopt and support our products and services as project and resource management tools, our ability to reach our target customers in this market may be diminished.

If We Are Unable To Introduce New Products Or Product Enhancements On A Timely Basis, Or If The Market Does Not Accept These Products Or Product Enhancements, Our Business Will Suffer.

        The market for certain of our products and services is new and the markets for all of our products and services are likely to change rapidly. Our future success will depend on our ability to anticipate changing customer requirements effectively and in a timely manner and to offer products and services that meet these demands. The development of new or enhanced software products and services is a complex and uncertain process. We may experience design, development, testing and other difficulties that could delay or prevent the introduction of new products or product enhancements and could increase research and development costs. Further, we may experience delays in market acceptance of new products or product enhancements as we engage in marketing and education of our user base regarding the advantages and system requirements for the new products and services and as customers evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading to our new products or services.

We Depend On Implementation, Marketing And Technology Relationships; If Our Current And Future Relationships Are Not Successful, Our Business Might Be Harmed.

        We rely on implementation, marketing and technology relationships with a variety of companies. Such relationships include those with consulting firms; and third-party vendors of software, such as BEA, Cognos, Intraspect, Changepoint, Concur, Microsoft and Oracle, whose products or technologies, such as reporting engines, search engines, application servers, databases and operating systems, we incorporate into or integrate with our products.

        We depend on these companies to recommend our products to customers, promote our products and/or services, provide our direct sales force with customer leads and provide enhanced functionality to our products and/or services. Some of these relationships are not documented in writing, or are governed by agreements that can be terminated by either party with little or no penalty or prior notice and do not provide for minimum payments to us. Companies with which we have an implementation, marketing or technology relationship may promote products or services of several different companies, including, in some cases, products or services that compete with our products and services. These companies may not devote adequate resources to selling or promoting our products and services. We may not be able to maintain these relationships or enter into additional relationships in the future.

We May Not Become Profitable If We Are Unable To Adapt Our Business Model To Changes In Our Market.

        If we are unable to anticipate changes in the market for project and resource management software and services, we may not be able to expand our business or successfully compete with other companies. Our current business model depends upon continuing to enhance and expand our project management and collaboration solutions. We may be required to further adapt our business model in response to additional changes in the portfolio and project management marketplace, or if our current business model is not successful.

There Is Significant Competition In Our Market, Which Could Make It Difficult To Attract Customers, Cause Us To Reduce Prices And Result In Reduced Gross Margins Or Loss Of Market Share.

        The market for our products and services is highly competitive, dynamic and subject to frequent technological changes. We expect the intensity of competition and the pace of change to at least maintain or increase in the future. We compete not only against industry giants such as Microsoft and SAP and the in-house development efforts of such companies creating individualized solutions, but also against a myriad of other software application vendors offering multiple products. Our current independent software vendor competition includes, among many others, Niku Corporation, Primavera Systems Inc. and ProSight Inc., and these companies may have greater financial, marketing, and/or other resources than our Company.

        A number of companies offer products that provide some of the functionality of our products. We do not believe that any one company has a dominant position in our market as a whole. However, we may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources. Competitors with greater resources may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential employees, distributors, resellers or other strategic partners. We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies as the market for our software continues to develop. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

If We Fail To Effectively Manage Our International Operations, Our Revenues May Not Increase. We May Incur Additional Losses.

        Our prescence as a world-wide company has placed, and will continue to place, significant strains on our infrastructure, management, internal controls and financial systems. Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support our future operations. In order to accommodate any possible growth of our business, we will need to hire, train and retain appropriate personnel to manage our operations. We will also need to ensure that our financial and management controls, reporting systems and operating systems keep pace with the growth and expansion of our business. We may encounter difficulties in developing and implementing required new systems. If we are unable to manage our expansion and/or growth effectively and maintain the quality of our products and services, our business may suffer.

Any Acquisitions Of Technologies, Products Or Businesses That We Make May Not Be Successful, May Cause Us To Incur Substantial Additional Costs, And/Or May Require Us To Incur Indebtedness Or Issue Equity Securities On Terms That May Not Be Attractive.

        As part of our business strategy, we have in the recent past acquired or invested in technologies, products or businesses that were expected to be complementary to our business and/or may be

10



complementary in the future. The process of integrating any future acquisitions could involve substantial risks for us, including:

        We may never achieve the benefits that we expect from the combination of the Opus360 and Legacy Artemis businesses or that we might anticipate from any future acquisition. If we make future acquisitions, we may issue shares of our capital stock that dilute existing stockholders, incur debt, assume significant liabilities and/or create additional expenses related to amortizing intangible assets, any of which might reduce our reported earnings (or increase our net losses) and cause our stock price to decline. Any financing that we might need for future acquisitions may only be available to us on terms that materially dilute existing shareholders, restrict our business and/or impose costs on us that would reduce our net income or increase our net losses.

International Activities Expose Us To Additional Operational Challenges That We Might Not Otherwise Face.

        In the year ended December 31, 2003, revenue from non-U.S. sources represented approximately 73% of total revenue. (We do not hedge foreign currency risk, and approximately 52% of operating expenses in 2003 were denominated in foreign cuurencies.) As we operate internationally, we are exposed to operational challenges that we would not face if we conducted our operations only in the United States. These include:

11


We May Become Subject To Burdensome Government Regulations And Legal Uncertainties Affecting The Internet, Which Could Increase Our Expenses And/Or Limit The Scope Of Our Operations.

        Legal uncertainties and new regulations relating to the use of the Internet could increase our cost of doing business, prevent us from delivering our products and services over the Internet or slow the growth of our business. To date, governmental regulations have not materially restricted use of the Internet in our markets. However, the legal and regulatory environment relating to the Internet is uncertain and may change. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to the Internet. New and existing laws may cover several issues, which include:

        In addition, any imposition of state sales and/or use taxes on the products and services sold over the Internet may decrease demand for some of our products and services. The United States Congress has passed legislation which limits the ability of states to impose any new taxes on Internet-based transactions. If Congress does not renew this legislation, any subsequent imposition of state taxes on Internet-based transactions could limit the demand for our products and services and/or increase our expenses.

Defects In Our Products Could Result In Loss Of Or Delay In Revenue, Failure To Achieve Market Acceptance And/Or Increased Costs.

        Products as complex as those we offer or are developing frequently contain undetected defects or errors. Despite internal testing and testing by our customers or potential customers, defects or errors may occur in our existing or future products and services. From time to time in the past, versions of our software that have been delivered to customers have contained errors. In the future, if we are not able to detect and correct errors prior to release, we may experience a loss of or delay in revenue, failure to achieve market acceptance and/or increased costs to correct errors, any of which could significantly harm our business.

        Defects or errors could also result in tort or warranty claims. Warranty disclaimers and liability limitation clauses in our customer agreements may not be enforceable. Furthermore, our errors and omissions insurance may not adequately cover us for claims. If a court were to refuse to enforce the liability-limiting provisions of our contracts for any reason, or if liabilities arose that were not contractually limited or adequately covered by insurance, our business could be harmed.

We May Experience Reduced Revenue And Harm To Our Reputation If Any System Failures Result In Unexpected Network Interruptions.

        Any system failure that we may experience, including network, software or hardware failures, that causes an interruption in the delivery of our products and services or a decrease in responsiveness of our services could result in reduced use of our services and damage to our reputation. Our servers and

12



software must be able to accommodate a high volume of traffic by organizations and individual users. There can be no assurance, however, that our systems will be able to accommodate our growth. We rely on third-party Internet service providers to provide our clients with access to our Internet-based services. We have experienced on several occasions service interruptions as a result of systems failures by these Internet service providers, which have lasted between four to eight hours. We believe that these interruptions will occur from time to time in the future. In addition, from time to time the speed of our system has been reduced as a result of increased traffic through our Internet service provider. We may not be able to expand and adapt our network infrastructure at a pace that will be commensurate with the additional traffic increases that we anticipate will occur.

If We Fail To Protect Our Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights Or Other Intellectual Property Rights, Other Parties Could Appropriate Our Proprietary Properties, Including Our Technology.

        The technology and software we have developed which underlies our products and services is very important to us. Our proprietary products are not protected by patents. However, to protect our intellectual property rights, we license our software products and require our customers to enter into license agreements that impose restrictions on their ability to utilize the software or transfer it to other users. Additionally, we seek to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets through a number of means, including, but not limited to, requiring those persons with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and restricting access to our source code. In addition, we protect our software, documentation, templates and other written materials under trademark, trade secret and copyright laws. Even with all of these safequards, there can be no assurance that such precautions will provide meaningful protection from competition or that competitors will not independently be able to develop similar technology. The copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, which are a significant source of protection for our intellectual property, offer only limited protection. In addition, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in software are uncertain and still evolving, and the future viability or value of any of our intellectual property rights is uncertain. Effective trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products are distributed or made available.

        If, in the future, litigation is necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and/or financial condition. As a result, ultimately, we may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce our rights under the various intellectual property laws described above.

        In addition, the laws and/or administrative proceedings of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be licensed (e.g., Asia) may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws of the United States. Relatedly, patent protection within the World Trade Organization appears to permit substantial discretion to member countries. A notable example is China's recent voidance of Pfizer's Viagra patent which was awarded by that country in September, 2001.

Third Parties Might Bring Infringement Claims Against Us Or Our Customers That Could Harm Our Business.

        In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, particularly in the software industry. We could become subject to intellectual property infringement claims as the number of our competitors grows and our products and services increasingly overlap with competitive offerings. In addition, as part of our product licenses, we agree to indemnify our customers against claims that our products infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive and divert management's attention from operating our business. We could incur substantial

13



costs in defending ourselves and our customers against infringement claims. If we become liable to third parties for infringement of their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award and to develop non-infringing technology, obtain one or more licenses for us and our customers from third parties or cease selling the products that contain the infringing intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing technology or obtain a license at a reasonable cost, or at all.

We May Not Be Able To Access Third Party Technology, Which We Depend Upon To Conduct Our Business And As A Result We Could Experience Delays In The Development And Introduction Of New Products and Services Or Enhancements Of Existing Products and Services.

        If we lose the ability to access third party technology which we use, are unable to gain access to additional products or are unable to integrate new technology with our existing systems, we could experience delays in our development and introduction of new products and services and related improvements or enhancements until equivalent or replacement technology can be accessed, if available, or developed internally, if feasible. If we experience these delays, our revenues could be substantially reduced. We license technology that is incorporated into our products and services from third parties. In light of the rapidly evolving nature of technology, we may increasingly need to rely on technology licensed to us by other vendors, including providers of development tools that will enable us to quickly adapt our technology to new products and services. Technology from our current or other vendors may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Proha Effectively Controls the Company. This Will Severely Limit Your Ability To Influence Corporate Matters.

        As of September 30, 2004, Proha Plc, a Finnish company, beneficially owned approximately 80% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Proha controls the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to Company stockholders for approval, including share exchanges, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and also could prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Proha may sometimes differ from the interests of the Company's other stockholders. In addition, third parties may be discouraged from making a tender offer or bid to acquire the Company because of this concentration of ownership. Relatedly, five of the ten members of the Company's Board of Directors are Proha nominated directors. Series A Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock hold voting rights under the Preferred Series A Financing transaction as described above, to the extent each holder has the right to convert the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. Still, Proha would maintain control as a majority shareholder, even after factoring in such conversion rights to the fullest possible extent (but ignoring the possible exercise of all warrants owned by the Series A Holders), retaining an approximately 57% post-conversion beneficial ownership interest.

Proha Had Expressed an Intention to Possibly Purchase Some or All of Our Common Stock Not Already Owned by Proha. Any Such Offer Could Increase the Volatility in the Market Price of Our Common Stock.

        On July 7, 2003, the Company received a "Request for Records" letter from Proha, dated July 3, 2003, (the "Request Letter"). In the Request Letter, representatives of Proha demand, pursuant to Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the right to inspect and copy various records including but not limited to: (i) lists of Artemis' stockholders, including names and addresses of each stockholder as of the date of the letter and (ii) copies of all daily transfer sheets showing changes in names and addresses of the Artemis stockholders through September 30, 2003. Artemis management had been informed that the purpose of the inspection is to facilitate a possible offer by Proha or an affiliate thereof to purchase some or all of the shares of Artemis not already

14



owned by Proha. However, the Company recently was verbally informed by Proha that it currently does not intend to extend any such offer. Should Proha revert to its originally stated intention and move forward with any such offer, you risk increased volatility in the market price of our common stock, not knowing what effect (if any) that such an offer might have on the market price.

The Market Price For Our Common Stock Is Volatile And Could Result In A Decline In The Value Of Your Investment.

        The market price of our common stock, like that of many other technology companies, is extremely volatile. The market price of our common stock has ranged from 20 cents per share to $12.25 per share since the second quarter of 2001, and typically has a low trading volume. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the daily trading volume of the Company's common stock ranged from nil to approximately 45.600 shares and averaged approximately 3,300 shares. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our stock will create or sustain an active trading market. If such a market were to develop, the market price of our common stock may continue to be highly volatile. The sale of a large block of shares could depress the price of our common stock to a greater degree than a company that typically has a higher volume of trading in its securities. The value of your investment in our common stock could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:

        Further, the stock exchanges and markets have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies and have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies.

We Do Not Intend To Pay Dividends

        During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, Legacy Artemis paid a cash dividend of $140,000. However, we do not intend to declare dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, as described elsewhere herein, we are currently prohibited from paying any cash dividends under certain circumstances.

We Are Uncertain Of Our Ability To Obtain Additional Financing For Our Future Capital Needs.

        We believe that cash from operations and existing cash will be sufficient to meet our working capital and expense requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise additional funds in order to fund our business, expand our sales activities, develop new or enhance existing products and/or respond to competitive pressures. As of June 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.3 million including restricted cash of approximately $2,340,000. (The Company has since met the conditions relating to the restricted cash, and has received the funds held in escrow.). On June 30, 2004 we had certain letters of credit secured by various assets of the Company. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.

15



You Will Experience Dilution If We Raise Funds Through The Issuance Of Additional Equity And/Or Convertible Debt Securities.

        If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, you will experience dilution of your percentage ownership of our Company. This dilution may be substantial. In addition, these securities may have powers, preferences and rights that are senior to the holders of our common stock and may further limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

The Completion of the Preferred Series A Financing Subjects You To Potential Dilution and May Limit Our Ability in the Future Either To Raise Additional Funding Or To Pay Dividends on Our Common Stock.

        On June 16, 2004, we completed the Preferred Series A Financing transaction as described above. In connection with the financing, we issued 4,090,909 shares of preferred stock, priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of common stock. In addition, we issued to the Series A Holders 5-year warrants to purchase 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share. The Series A Holders are also privy to price protection through December 13, 2004. Through said time period, should the closing price of our common stock fall below $2.20 per share for any 15 consecutive day period, the Series A Holders will be able to exercise additional warrants at one cent per share of common stock, and purchase up to but no more than 1,057,993 shares of common stock, as the price protection extends to a diminution in price of our common stock to no lower than $1.75 per share. As of October 14, 2004, the Six Month Price was $2.01 per share, which would result in the issuance of 388,636 Additional Warrants to the Series A Holders. With the exercise of any of these warrants, if you are a current holder of common stock and you are not a Series A Holder, you will experience dilution of your percentage ownership of our Company.

        In addition, the Series A Holders have certain powers, preferences and rights that are senior to the holders of our common stock. Such rights include, but are not limited to, the potential payment of a dividend. So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, the common stock without the prior express written consent of at least a majority of the Series A Holders. One other example of such rights relates to possibly raising additional capital via the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future. So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot issue any additional preferred shares other than to the Series A Holders and the Company cannot issue any other securities or incur any indebtedness exceeding that which existed on June 16, 2004, except in accordance with the Equity Exclusion and the Debt Exclusion (as each term is defined in the Certificate of Designations, which can be reviewed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2004, relating to the Preferred Series A Financing transaction), without the prior express written consent of not less than a majority of the Series A Holders.

A Delay in The Company Having Certain Registration Statements Declared Effective by the SEC by Contractual Deadlines as Required by Certain Respective Registration Rights Agreements May Cause The Company to Pay Significant Penalties or be Subject to a Significant Liquidated Damages Claim, Depending on the Duration of the Delay Period.

        In conjunction with the Series A Financing, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement dated June 16, 2004, whereby the Company was obligated to file and have declared effective by the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement"). The Company filed the Registration Statement on July 18, 2004. However, the Company was unable to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by October 14, 2004 (the "Effectiveness Deadline") as required under the registration rights agreement, despite the Company's diligent efforts. The Company is required to pay each Series A Holder an amount in cash per preferred share held,

16



equal to the product of $2.20 multiplied by 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) for each day the effectiveness of the Form S-1 is delayed. This equates to approximately $135,000 per month of any such delay. The Company is currently striving to obtain an extension of the Effectiveness Deadline and a waiver of any such penalties that may be owed to the Series A Holders as a result of not meeting the Effectiveness Deadline. There is, however, no assurance that the Series A Preferred Holders will extend the deadline and/or waive their rights to penalties as described above.

        In conjunction with the Laurus credit facility, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, by which the Company is obligated to file and and have declared effective by the SEC a similar registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Laurus Facility Registration Statement"), as is required as described above pertaining to the Series A Financing. If the SEC does not review the Laurus Facility Registration Statement, then it has a deadline of October 28, 2004, by which to be declared effective by the SEC. If the SEC does review the Laurus Facility Registration Statement, then it has a deadline of November 29, 2004, by which to be declared effective by the SEC. Should the Company fail to meet the applicable deadline by which to have the Laurus Facility Registration Statement declared effective, the Company would be subject to a liquidated damage claim equal to 2.0% for each thirty day period (prorated for partial periods) of $1,500,000 (the amount currently outstanding under the secured convertible minimum borrowing note). This equates to approximately $30,000 for any such thirty-day delay.

We have Potential Liability for Possible Violations of Section 5 of the Securities Act Arising from the Integration of Certain 2004 Financings with this Offering.

        On August 14, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus and received a $5.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Laurus Facility") in the form of a three-year Convertible Note secured by a security interest in all of the Company's property and assets located in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), except for intellectual property rights. Borrowings under the Laurus Facility are based on the balance of eligible trade accounts receivable reported by the Company's operating entities in the US and the UK. The Laurus Facility automatically renews every three years unless cancelled by the Company or Laurus. In conjunction with the original transaction, Laurus was paid a fee of $175,000 and received a ten-year transferable warrant (the "Laurus Warrant") to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. The Laurus Warrant exercise price and the number of shares underlying the warrant are subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, combinations and dividends.

        On July 30, 2004, the Company and Laurus agreed to restructure and amend the revolving credit facility and replaced the Secured Convertible Note of up to $5.0 million with a Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note (the "Minimum Borrowing Note") in the amount of $1.5 million and a Secured Revolving Note of up to $3.5 million (the "Laurus Restructuring"). The Minimum Borrowing Note is due on August 26, 2006 and is convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at the following prices: 190,000 shares at $1.45 per share, 190,000 shares at $1.81 per share, and 342,646 shares at $2.57 per share. Thereafter, the conversion price adjusts to 105% of the average closing market price of the Company's common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding each additional borrowing (in serialized $1.5 million increments) under the Minimum Borrowing Note. Loans exceeding $1.5 million may be available to the Company, based on a formula set forth in the original Minimum Borrowing Note. All of the aforementioned conversion prices are subject to downward adjustment under certain conditions. Under the terms of the related agreement, absent an event of default as defined, conversion of the Minimum Borrowing Note into the Company's common stock may not result in beneficial ownership by Laurus (including shares issuable under the Laurus Warrant that are exercisable within sixty days of any determination date) of more than 2.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Minimum Borrowing Note has a 30% prepayment penalty. Any loans under the Secured Revolving Note are convertible only in an event of default. The Company

17



had no loans outstanding under the Secured Revolving Note as of the date of this registration statement.

        Absent an event of default as defined, the post-February 15, 2004 interest rate on both of the July 2004 amended Laurus notes described above is (except as explained in this paragraph) the greater of the Wall-Street-Journal prime rate plus 0.75% (the "adjustable interest rate") or 5%. After the registration statement on Form S-1 registering the Laurus shares is declared effective by the SEC, the adjustable interest rate may be periodically reduced based on certain defined differences between the average market price of the Company's common stock and the conversion prices set forth above, provided that such market price is at least 130% of the applicable conversion price. The maximum contractual adjustment would reduce the discounted interest rate to the prime rate minus 1.25%. Under the original agreements, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC by September 15, 2003 to register the Company's common stock underlying the Laurus Facility. The Company was delinquent in filing such registration statement and was subject to potential liquidated damages as a result of this delinquency. As part of the Laurus Restructuring, the Company received a waiver from Laurus with respect to their rights and remedies for the failure to file the registration statement timely. In consideration for such waiver, the Company has agreed to pay a penalty of $75,000. The Company further agreed with Laurus to reset the filing deadline for such registration statement and the date by which to have it declared effective by the SEC.

        It is possible that the amended transaction may be integrated with this public offering and that the foregoing amended transaction, which occurred prior to the effective date of our registration statement, may be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We and our counsel believe that each of these transactions were exempt from registration and should not be integrated with this public offering. If it were ultimately determined that the amended transaction is required to be integrated with this public offering, such investors may have the right to rescind such transaction and we may be liable for penalties and/or damages.

Our Common Stock has a Small Public Float and Future Sales of Our Common Stock May Negatively Affect the Market Price of Our Common Stock.

        As of September 30, 2004, there were approximately 10.0 million shares of our common stock outstanding. As a group, our officers, directors, all preferred shareholders with common stock conversion rights and all other persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our total outstanding shares, beneficially own on an as-converted basis an aggregate of approximately 12.9 million shares of our common stock (excluding the Additional Warrants issued under the Series A Preferred Financing transaction). On an as-converted basis, our common stock would have a public float of approximately 3.6 million shares, which are shares in the hands of public investors, and which, as the term "public float" is defined by Nasdaq, excludes shares that are held directly or indirectly by any of our officers or directors or any other person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of our total shares outstanding. These shares are held by a relatively small number of shareholders of record (approximately 740). We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our common stock into the market, including those acquirable by the possible conversion of preferred shares into common shares, will have on the market price of our common stock. However, sales of substantial amounts of common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of warrants and stock options and/or conversion of preferred stock into common stock, or the perception that such transactions could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

18



If the Ownership of Our Common Stock Continues to be Highly Concentrated, it May Prevent You and Other Shareholders From Influencing Significant Corporate Decisions and May Result in Conflicts of Interest That Could Cause Our Stock Price to Decline.

        As of September 30, 2004 our executive officers, directors, major shareholders, and all Series A Holders of Series A Preferred Stock (as described above) collectively beneficially own or control on an as-converted basis approximately 87% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to the exercise of all outstanding vested options and warrants exercisable within 60 days from September 30, 2004). If these persons or entities were to act collectively in whole or in part or if Proha, as the majority shareholder decides to act on its own (as described elsewhere above), they could control the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or any other significant corporate transactions. Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than yours. For example, these persons or entities could act to delay or prevent a change of control of us, even if such a change of control would benefit our other shareholders, or these persons or entities could pursue strategies that are different from the wishes of other investors. The significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to investors' perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

        Currently, the persons or entities as identified above are not bound to act in concert with the following exception. On June 16, 2004, the Series A Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock entered into a letter agreement with Proha Plc, our current majority shareholder, agreeing that for a period of two years commencing June 16, 2004, a nominating committee shall be the exclusive process by which independent directors are to be nominated for election to our board of directors. Each party agreed, either (i) to vote directly or indirectly in favor of a candidate so nominated by our board of directors through its nominating committee, or (ii) not to oppose either directly or indirectly any such candidate.

Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, Certain Voting Agreements and the Concentration of Stock Ownership Could Delay or Prevent a Change of Control

        Provisions of Delaware law, our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws, certain voting agreements of our stockholders and the concentration of ownership of our stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

Because the Market for and Liquidity of Our Shares is Volatile and Limited, and Because We Are Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules, the Level of Trading Activity in Our Stock May be Reduced.

        Effective June 29, 2001, our common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market and is now quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTC BB") (Symbol AMSI). The OTC BB is generally considered to be a less efficient market than the established exchanges or the Nasdaq markets. While we anticipate seeking to be relisted on the Nasdaq National Market at some time in the future, it is impossible at this time to predict when, if ever, such application will be made or whether

19



such application will be successful. While our common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC BB, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our common stock, compared to if our securities were traded on Nasdaq or a national exchange. In addition, our common stock is subject to certain rules and regulations relating to "penny stocks" (generally defined as any equity security that is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market and that has a price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are subject to certain "sales practice requirements" for sales in certain nonexempt transactions (i.e., sales to persons other than established customers and institutional "accredited investors"), including requiring delivery of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market and monthly statements disclosing recent bid and offer quotations for the penny stock held in the account, and certain other restrictions. If the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this, as well as the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. For as long as our securities are subject to the rules on penny stocks, the liquidity of our common stock could be significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future.

Efforts to Reduce Our Expenses May Not Achieve Desired Results, and Could Diminish Our Ability to Retain and/or Recruit Employees.

        During the last few years, we have made great efforts to reduce our operating and other expenses. We cannot assure you that these expense reductions will have the desired result of enabling us to achieve profitability or that they will not have adverse affects on the Company. If planned revenue stability does not materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be materially harmed. To manage operations effectively, we must continue to improve our operational, financial and other management processes and systems. Our success also depends on our ability to maintain high levels of employee utilization, project and instructional quality and competitive pricing for our software and services. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in maintaining the required levels of revenue with the current number of employees.

        Our success will depend in large part on our ability to retain and, as needed, recruit qualified information technology professionals and sales and marketing personnel. Our future success depends in large part on our ability to attract, develop and retain highly skilled information technology professionals, particularly project managers, consultants, software engineers and programmers. As a result of our focus on reducing operating expenses over the past several years, we are dependent upon a smaller number of employees for our operations. If we are unable to recruit additional technical employees, we may be unable to adequately service current projects or bid for new projects or sales. If we are unable to recruit additional technical personnel when needed, we may not be able to expand or grow our business. We compete for the services of information technology professional with other consulting firms, software vendors and consumers of information technology services, many of which have greater financial resources than we have. We may not be successful in retaining and, as needed, hiring a sufficient number of information technology professionals to staff our projects. To attract qualified technical employees, we may need to substantially increase the compensation, bonuses, stock options or other benefits we offer to employees. These additional costs may negatively affect our business and operating results.

We Recently Experienced a Leadership Transition and Our Future Success May Depend Upon Retaining Key Employees

        We recently experienced a change in our leadership. Michael J. Rusert resigned as Presdient and Chief Executive Officer effective January 16, 2004. Patrick Ternier was hired as the new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 23, 2004. If the transition is not completed successfully and/or if any of our key employees leave the Company, our business could be adversely affected. While a number of our key employees are under employment agreements, there is no guarantee these employees will remain with the Company.

Attacks by International Terrorists Could Cause Massive Disruptions to the World Economy or Regional Economies, Thereby Adversely Affecting Demand for Our Products and Adversely Impacting Our Revenue Streams.

        The attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, and in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001 caused an immediate negative affect on the global economy. While we cannot predict whether such massive acts of terror will occur again in the future, you should be cautioned that any similar or smaller acts of terrorism could have a material adverse affect on either the global economy or on at least regional economies throughout the world. This could adversely affect demand for our products and services and could severely diminish our revenue streams, which could cause the price of our common stock to significantly decline.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact but rather reflect our current expectations, estimates and predictions about future results and events. These statements may use words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "predict," "project" and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management. When we make forward-looking statements, we are basing them on our beliefs and assumptions, using information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this prospectus. Factors that can cause or contribute to these differences include those described under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

        If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Any forward-looking statements you read in this prospectus reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this prospectus that would cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision.


USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock because they are being offered by the selling shareholders and we are not offering any shares for sale under this prospectus. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders. We will apply such proceeds, if any, toward working capital.


DIVIDEND POLICY

        During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, Legacy Artemis paid a cash dividend of $140,000. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance operations and the expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

        In August 2003, the Company obtained a revolving credit facility with Laurus. Under the Security Agreement executed in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company may not directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any dividend or other distribution on any class of its stock, except for indebtedness subordinated to Laurus.

        On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock. So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot, directly or indirectly, redeem, declare or pay any cash dividend or other distribution on, the common stock without the prior express written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.


PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

        Our common stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "OPUS" from April 4, 2000 to June 28, 2001. Since June 29, 2001, the Company's stock has been quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board administered by Nasdaq. Effective November 25, 2001, the trading symbol on the OTCBB was changed to "AISC". Subsequent to the Company's one for twenty-five reverse stock split on February 7, 2003, the trading symbol was changed to "AMSI". Except for certain disclosures relative to the Proha/Opus360 Share Exchange Transactions discussed above, all information regarding common stock, stock options, warrants and related per share amounts has been restated within this registration statement to reflect the February 7, 2003 reverse stock split.

        Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a "penny stock". Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The market price of our common stock on the OTCBB during the twenty-one months ended September 30, 2004 has ranged between a high of $3.15 and a low of $1.35 per share, and our common stock is thus deemed to be penny stock for purposes of the Exchange Act. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage them from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely impair the liquidity of our common stock in the secondary market.

        At June 30, 2004, the number of stockholders of record was approximately 740 (excluding beneficial owners and any shares held in street name or by nominees). The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices based on bid quotations per share, as retroactively adjusted for the aforementioned reverse stock split.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such as "may", "will", "should", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", "continue", "strategy", "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "intends", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

    Overview

        The Company is one of the world's leading providers of investment planning and control software and services. Since 1976 we have been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management. Improved performance requires continuous alignment of investments with strategic business goals, consequently the ability to effectively select, plan, budget and control investment projects becomes the key for optimizing corporate resources. We believe this creates an even greater requirement for integrated investment planning and control solutions to support the needs of value creation, visibility, governance and compliance.

        The Company has a 28-year history of successfully delivering enterprise and project management solutions to Global 2000 customers with the most extensive portfolio and project management needs. Companies trust Artemis' software to manage their business-critical processes. Customers use our software in such key areas as (i) IT management and governance (ii) developing new products such as pharmaceuticals, (iii) helping governmental agencies promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources, (iv) maintaining nuclear power stations and (v) managing the Joint Strike Fighter Program for the United States government.

        Our corporate offices are located at 4041 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 401, Newport Beach, CA 92660 and our telephone number at that address is (949) 660-6500.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, the valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and the amortization of intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

25


        The Company has adopted Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, which supersedes SOP 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition, as well as SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions, which amends SOP 97-2 and supercedes SOP 98-4. SOP 97-2, as amended, generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair market values of each of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value. Software license revenue allocated to a software product is recognized upon delivery of the product, or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance term. First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. Estimated fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. For such arrangements with multiple obligations, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the estimated fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. The Company at times may enter into multiple-customer contracts in which the Company allocates revenue based on the number of specified users at each customer, and recognizes revenue upon customer acceptance and satisfying the other applicable conditions of the above described accounting policy.

        Services revenue is recognized as the service is performed assuming that sufficient evidence exists to estimate the fair value of the services. Consulting and training services are billed based on contractual hourly rates and revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company's products which do not require significant customization to or modification of the underlying software code.

        Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.

        The Company's business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the reverse acquisition of Opus360, the adoption of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations resulted in the allocation of negative goodwill in the amount of approximately $10.5 million as a direct reduction of the acquired Opus360 non-current assets. At December 31, 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge which resulted in the complete write-off of goodwill and a partial write-off of its identifiable intangible assets. As a result of the complete write off of goodwill at December 31, 2001, the adoption of SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, had no impact on the amortization expense during 2002.

        In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we assess intangible assets and other long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not

26



be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets. If we determine that the carrying value of any such assets may not be recoverable, we measure impairment by using the projected discounted cash-flow method in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

        Intangible assets at December 31, 2003 consist of acquired customer bases and current core technology. Customer bases acquired directly are valued at cost, which approximates estimated fair value at the time of purchase. The costs assigned to intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 42 months from January 1, 2002.

        The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

        We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on our qualitative and quantitative review of credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, return and discount experience. We reassess the allowance for doubtful accounts each period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities," was issued in June 2002 and is effective for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is complying with SFAS No. 146.

        SFAS No. 147 relates exclusively to certain financial institutions, and thus does not apply to the Company.

        In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the estimated fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, while the disclosure requirements became applicable in 2002. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45. The other requirements of this pronouncement did not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," was issued in December 2002 and is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this pronouncement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

27


        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities, or "VIEs"), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (a) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (b) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are not small business issuers are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities: the first period ended after December 15, 2003; and (b) For all other types of VIEs: the first period ended after March 15, 2004. Management has determined that the Company does not have any VIEs, and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 150-03 ("FSP 150-3"), which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No. 150 for all mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150's measurement guidance for other types of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement ("SFAS No. 132-R") expands employers' disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88. or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. The defined benefit pension plan of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary is the Company's only defined benefit post-retirement plan. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign pension plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign pension plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2005. The interim-period disclosure requirements which became effective on January 1, 2004 were adopted by the

28



Company on that date. The Company is presently evaluating the other effects of SFAS No. 132-R on its annual and interim-period financial statement disclosures.

        Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC, did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

        Software revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use our software products. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, software revenue did not reach prior-year levels, which included revenue recognized under a software sale in the UK to the Regional Development Agency of approximately $1.0 million. For the EMEA region, the decrease in software sales in the UK of approximately $1.8 million more than offset increases in the other European countries, such as France, Germany and Finland. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Artemis 7/Portfolio Director sales increased by 22% to $2.2 million from $1.8 million during the comparable prior-year period.

        Support revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and technical support for our software products. The increase in support revenue in EMEA for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily a result of favorable foreign currency exchange rate variances compared to the same prior-year periods. The Americas experienced some attrition in support contract renewals that more than offset the additional support revenues resulting from recent software sales.

        Services revenue consists of fees for consulting and training services generated by our personnel and through subcontracted third party arrangements. Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 declined compared to the same periods in 2003. The overall decline in services revenue is in part due to the shift in software revenue to our new software platform, Artemis 7, which has faster implementation cycles than our other software platforms. The Americas services revenue was impacted by the completion of large consulting assignments at two clients in the US during early 2003. As these relationships have matured, the level of consulting and training services required by those customers has significantly decreased. In addition, slower software sales in Americas and Japan have further reduced the level of consulting services provided during the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Japan was not able to achieve prior year levels in services revenue in part due to customers delaying and reducing IT spending.

        Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and third-party expenses principally related to consulting, software maintenance services and training services. The decrease in cost of revenue in the Americas is primarily a result of a decrease in services revenue and a reduction in the number of internal consultants. The increase in cost of revenue for EMEA is primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rate variances. Japan reported a decrease in service revenue resulting in a decrease in the corresponding cost of revenue. This was partially offset by increased efficiencies in the delivery of support and services. Since the majority of our costs of revenue are directly related to our support and service revenues, this had a significant impact on overall costs of revenues. Cost of revenue for software sales decreased, largely due to a shift in product mix toward Artemis 7, for which we incur no third party royalties.

Gross Margin

        Total gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $14.5 million, a decrease of $1.3 million or 8%, from $15.8 million for the same period of 2003. Gross margin percentage for the six

31



months ended June 30, 2004 remained flat at 54%, reflecting the aforementioned changes in the mix of revenues and cost of revenue efficiencies.

Operating Expenses

        Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of the personnel related costs of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the cost of marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional materials and customer conferences. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $0.5 million or 6% to $7.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $8.1 million during the same period of 2003. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in headcount and a concerted effort to match expenses with expected revenue streams.

        Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products. These expenses remained substantially the same at $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

        We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, we expect that spending on research and development will remain at current levels during the second half of 2004. Our primary focus for 2004 is to continue the process of evolving our development methodology and to invest in product functionality in the following three ways: (1) adding significant new capability; (2) integrating key new architectural features and technology; and (3) bringing our suite of interrelated products together into a unified solution. We continue to outsource certain tasks to third parties and are creating Artemis-specific development capabilities within these third parties that can be utilized when needed.

        General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel salaries and wages and related costs for general corporate functions including executive, legal, finance, accounting, human resources and information systems. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million or 22% to $4.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $6.0 million during the same period of 2003. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of restructuring and streamlining activities carried out by management to reduce the global infrastructure costs.

        Amortization expense represents the financial statement effect of amortizing intangible assets acquired in conjunction with Proha's purchase of Legacy Artemis in August 2000. These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful life of twelve months from July 1, 2004.

        The Company's restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (i) severance pay (including related payroll taxes) and associated one-time employee termination costs related to the reduction of the Company's workforce; (ii) relocation costs resulting from organizational realignments; and (iii) professional fees incurred to improve the competitive position of the Company. The Company accounts for the costs associated with exiting an activity, including costs associated with the reduction of the Company's workforce, in accordance with SFAS No. 146. The termination costs recorded by the Company are not associated with nor do they benefit continuing activities.

32


        Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to the Company's restructuring efforts are assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the restructuring. Changing business conditions may affect the assumptions related to the timing and/or extent of the Company's restructuring activities. The Company reviews the status of restructuring activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, records changes to its restructuring obligations in operations based on management's most current estimates.

Non-operating (income) expenses, net

        Non-operating income and expenses consist of (i) net interest expense, (ii) other income, (iii) foreign exchange gains or losses, and (iv) income tax expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred $0.2 million of net interest expense, which increased from the comparable prior-year period principally because of increased borrowing under the existing lines of credit. Other income for the six months ended 2004 included the write-off of certain old trade payables and the release of accruals that were no longer necessary. The foreign exchange gain reported for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to European foreign exchange fluctuations. Foreign exchange gains and losses result from changes in the exchange rates of the currencies used in the foreign countries in which Artemis operates.

        The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 resulted in an increase in revenues of approximately $2.6 million and a decrease in operating loss of less than $0.1 million.

2003 compared to 2002

    Revenue

        Software revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use our software products. Software revenue decreased $1.8 million or 12% to $13.3 million during 2003 from $15.1 million during 2002. The decrease in software sales of $1.1 million in the US and $.7 million in Germany was due, in part, to spending constraints imposed on capital expenditures by our existing customer base. However, we are currently seeing an increase in customer funding for projects previously planned. In addition, with the additional functionality of Artemis 7 (formerly Portfolio Director) and the Views 7 release, we are able to meet the needs of our clients on a much wider range, thus speeding up the sales cycle. Therefore, management expects an increase in software sales in 2004.

        Support revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and technical support for our software products. Support revenue increased $0.9 million or 6% to $16.6 million during 2003 from $15.7 million during 2002. This increase in support revenue was due to a steady increase in revenues generated by our foreign subsidiaries such as a 30% increase in Germany, 9% increase in Italy, 19% increase in Finland and a 47% increase in Asia. The increase in support revenues in these countries was partially offset by a decrease in support revenue in the US by 8%. The Company has also put a renewed emphasis on cultivating the existing customer base by focusing on customer satisfaction.

        Services revenue consists of fees for consulting and training generated by our personnel and through subcontracted third-party arrangements. Services revenue decreased $10.5 million or 28% to

33


$27.4 million during 2003 from $37.9 million during 2002. The decrease in service revenue is a direct result of the near completion of two very large consulting assignments at two large clients that had licensed products in prior periods. These two clients generated $16 million in service revenue in 2002 compared to $5 million in 2003.

        The balance of deferred revenue decreased $0.8 million to $7.2 million at December 31, 2003 from $8.0 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease is due to the following:

    Cost of Revenue

        Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and commissions paid to employees and third-party expenses principally related to consulting, software maintenance services and training services. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes royalty payments to third parties. The majority of these costs of revenue are directly related to our support and service revenue. Total cost of revenue decreased $6.7 million or 20% to $26.0 million during 2003 from $32.7 million during 2002. Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 45% during 2003 from 47% during 2002 primarily because the Company licensed a higher proportion of products with low or no associated royalty costs and due to more efficient use of staff in delivering services. Also contributing to the decrease was that third party consultants were used less, reflective of the lower service revenue base.

    Gross Margin Percentage

        The primary reasons for the increased gross margin on total revenue are improved efficiencies in the support organization and a reduction in third-party royalties through the shift in product mix toward Artemis 7. This was partially offset by a decrease in gross margin on services revenue due to a sharp decline in services revenue in 2003 compared to 2002. This lowered the utilization rate of internal consultants and reduced the retention of higher-margin external consultants.

    Operating Expenses

        Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the cost of third party marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional materials and customer conferences. Selling and marketing expenses increased $3.4 million or 27% to $15.9 million during 2003, from $12.5 million during 2002. During 2002, management reduced discretionary selling and marketing expenses in response to forecasts, which predicted that a challenging economy would cause our customers to delay spending on enterprise wide technology deployments. In the latter portion of 2002 management predicted a gradual recovery in the market for software. In response to this and to support the introduction of our Portfolio solution products, management increased the Company's marketing efforts.    In addition, during 2003 the Company

34


realigned its marketing organization. Part of this change included the creation of a new Solutions Marketing Team, which focuses on key vertical markets to help provide more relevant and complete business solutions to customers. The increase also in part, reflects a change in the classification of key executive salaries and related expenses in accordance with a change in job emphasis from administration to selling and marketing (please also see General and administrative below).

        Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products. These expenses increased $0.3 million or 3.6% to $8.2 million during 2003 from $7.9 million during 2002. This increase is primarily due to increased salaries and small increases in travel expenses as we endeavor to bring our customers further into the product delivery process. In early 2004, we changed the leadership of our product development organization and consolidated our Product Management, Development and Tier II Support functions under a single structure, Product Operations. Our restructuring will also include a relocation of our Californian development facility to less costly premises. The main purposes in our restructuring activity were threefold: (1) to align resources with the strategic goal of unifying and further integrating interrelated products; (2) to add to our development capacity a variable component for adaptation to dynamic conditions; and (3) to bring our development processes closer to our customers, fully committing to a customer-centric model for solutions development.

        Specific customer-centric methodological modifications for research and development have continued to include the shortening of internal software development cycles, an iterative planning and testing practice, and movement of the feature prioritization process out of development and closer to customers.

35


        We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, we expect that spending on research and development in 2004 will remain flat except for cost savings resulting from the restructuring activities described above. Our primary focus for 2004 is to continue the process of evolving our development methodology and to invest in product functionality in the following three ways: (1) adding significant new capability; (2) integrating key new architectural features and technology; and (3) bringing our suite of interrelated products together into a unified solution.

        General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, legal, accounting, human resources and information systems. General and administrative expenses decreased $4.0 million or 26% to $11.1 million during 2003, from $15.2 million during 2002.

        The decrease was primarily due to the following (i) a decrease in insurance fees due to a reduction in coverage, (ii) a reduction in office space occupied, including the closure of our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in 2002, (iii) the elimination of payments on former OPUS360 lease agreements through expiration or settlement, (iv) the elimination of commitments under long-term phone service contracts due to settlement, (v) a change in the classification of key executive salaries and related expense in accordance with a change in job emphasis from administration to selling and marketing and (vi) the elimination of salaries paid to duplicative OPUS360 personnel who left Artemis in 2002.

        Amortization expense represents the financial statement effect of amortizing intangible assets acquired in conjunction with Proha's purchase of Legacy Artemis in August 2000. These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of 42 months commencing January 1, 2002. Amortization expense remained substantially the same in 2003 as compared to 2002.

Non-operating (income) expenses, net

        Non-operating income/expenses consist of (i) net interest expense, (ii) equity in net losses of unconsolidated affiliates, (iii) foreign exchange gains or losses, (iv) other (income) expense and (v) gain on sale of subsidiary and investee. The Company earned net non-operating income of approximately $0.5 and $0.3 million during 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company accounts for certain investments in other companies under the equity method of accounting. The Company recorded equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in 2003 and 2002 respectively.

        In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to an unrelated party. In December 2002, the Company sold its interest in ABC Technologies—France to an unrelated party. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes pretax gains of $0.7 million and $0.3 million on the sales of our interests in Accountor Oy and ABC Technologies—France, respectively.

        In October 2003, the Company sold the assets of its Software Productivity Research ("SPR") operations. Total consideration for the sale of SPR was $0.4 million.

        Changes in the rate of exchange for British Pound Sterling to United States dollars resulted in foreign exchange income of $0.9 million and $0.5 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

36



Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

        The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to 2002 was an increase in revenues and a reduction in operating loss of approximately $5.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

        The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The income tax expense on the pre-tax loss of approximately $7.6 million is principally the result of foreign income tax on the Company's profitable non-US subsidiaries.

2002 compared to 2001

Revenue

        Software revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use our software products. Software revenue remained flat at $15.1 million during 2002 and 2001. Many customers responded to uncertain economic and political conditions in 2001 by delaying or curtailing their technology capital spending. In addition, customers restricted their software purchases to essential requirements and reduced investments in software designed to accommodate projected customer growth. Consequently, our software revenues declined in the second half of 2001 and the first half of 2002. However, during the second half of 2002, our software revenues started to recover as (1) our customers began to increase their investment purchases and (2) our newer products such as our Portfolio Director and Viewpoint gained acceptance in certain European countries, particularly the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

        Support revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and technical support for our software products. Support revenue increased $0.2 million or 1% to $15.7 million during 2002 from $15.5 million during 2001. The increase in support revenues was primarily due to the recovery in our software license sales in the latter portion of 2002. That is to say, as the number and size of software licenses increased during the latter portion of 2002, our customers' requirements for technical support and updates of software increased accordingly.

        Services revenue consists of fees for consulting and training generated by our personnel and through subcontracted third-party arrangements. Services revenue increased $0.9 million or 2% to $37.9 million during 2002 from $37.0 million during 2001. The Company has been able to maintain its service revenues despite weak economic conditions through several large follow-on consulting assignments with clients who had licensed our products in prior periods.

        The balance of deferred revenue increased $2.2 million to $8.0 million at December 31, 2002 from $5.8 million at December 31, 2001. The increase is due to the following:

37


Cost of Revenue

        Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and commissions paid to employees and third-party expenses principally related to consulting, software maintenance services and training services. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes royalty payments to third parties. The majority of these costs of revenue are directly related to our support and service revenue. Total cost of revenue decreased $0.4 million or 1% to $32.7 million during 2002 from $33.1 million during 2001. Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 47% during 2002 from 49% during 2001 because the Company licensed a higher proportion of products with low or no associated royalty costs and due to more efficient use of staff in delivering services.

Gross Margin

        Total gross margin for 2002 was $36.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 4%, from $34.5 million for 2001. Gross margin for 2002 also increased approximately 2 percentage points, to 53% from 51% for 2001, reflecting the aforementioned revenue increases and cost of revenue efficiencies.

Operating Expenses

        Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the cost of third party marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional materials and customer conferences. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $4.3 million or 26% to $12.5 million during 2002, from $16.8 million during 2001. The decrease was the result of management's concentrated efforts to reduce discretionary marketing expenses in a challenging economy.

        Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs associated with the development of our products. These expenses decreased $2.0 million or 20% to $7.9 million during 2002 from $9.9 million during 2001. This decrease is primarily due to increased efficiencies and reduction and reallocation of personnel, as we reacted to general economic conditions during the latter part of 2001 and the first half of 2002. In particular, we changed the leadership of our product development organization and separated our development, product management, and support leadership. Our restructuring also included a reduction in headcount and the closure of our Exton, Pennsylvania facility. The main purposes in our restructuring activity were threefold: (1) to align resources with the strategic goal of unifying and further integrating interrelated products; (2) to add to our development capacity a variable component for adaptation to dynamic conditions; and (3) to bring our development processes closer to our customers, fully committing to a customer-centric model for solutions development. Specific customer-centric methodological modifications for research and development have included the shortening of internal software development cycles, an iterative planning and testing practice, and movement of the feature prioritization process out of development and closer to customers.

        We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, we expect that spending on research and development will remain at current levels during the first six months of 2003. Our primary focus for 2003 was to continue the process of evolving our development methodology and to invest in product functionality in the following three ways: (1) adding significant new capability; (2) integrating key new architectural features and technology; and (3) bringing our suite of interrelated products together into a unified solution.

38



        General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, legal, accounting, human resources and information systems. General and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million or 39% to $15.2 million during 2002, from $10.9 million during 2001. The increase was primarily a result of (1) the inclusion of Opus360 related costs for the full year of 2002 as opposed to five months in 2001, (2) costs incurred to enhance the quality of our administrative functions by adding experienced accountants, legal counsel and management executives and (3) costs incurred as the Company built its corporate infrastructure by integrating and consolidating operations after the reverse acquisition of Artemis in July 2001.

        Legal and accounting fees increased by approximately $0.6 million during 2002 as compared to 2001. Fees paid to accountants and auditors increased by $0.5 million and investor relations costs increased by $0.1 million. The increase in legal fees represented (1) severance payments made to the Company's former legal counsel and (2) costs incurred in the Company's successful defense of shareholder lawsuits. The increase in accountant's fees represents costs incurred to gain the assistance of accountants in establishing proper account balances for the newly merged Company in conjunction with the audit of the Company's 2001 results and the filing of the Company's annual report. Accountants also assisted in the development of policies and procedures to support accounting and reporting in the Company.

        In response to the changes in corporate form brought about by the merger of Opus360 and Legacy Artemis management undertook an analysis of risks surrounding the Company's business and determined that certain insurance coverage needed to be expanded. In addition, the Company incurred increased insurance costs as result of change in the underlying insurance markets.

        Amortization expense represents the financial statement effect of amortizing intangible assets acquired in conjunction with Proha's purchase of Legacy Artemis in August 2000. These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of 42 months commencing January 1, 2002. Amortization expense decreased $14.6 million or 78% to $4.1 million during 2002, from $18.8 million during 2001. The decrease is due to the reevaluation and write-off, in December 2001, of a portion of the intangible assets arising from the pushdown accounting of Proha's August 2000 acquisition of Legacy Artemis.

Non-operating (income) expenses, net

        Non-operating income/expenses consist of (i) net interest expense, (ii) equity in net losses of unconsolidated affiliates, (iii) foreign exchange gains or losses, (iv) other expense and (v) minority interest in the operations of an unconsolidated subsidiary. The Company earned net non-operating income of approximately $0.3 million during 2002 and incurred net non-operating expense of approximately $3.0 million during 2001.

        The decrease in net interest expense to $0.2 million during 2002 from $0.8 million during 2001 was due to a decrease in borrowings under the Company's line of credit with Foothill Capital Corporation and a decrease in the Company's note payable to Proha.

        The Company accounts for certain investments in other companies under the equity method of accounting. The Company recorded equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates $0.4 million for the years 2002 and 2001.

        In 2001 approximately $0.4 million of costs, which were previously capitalized in conjunction with the purchase of Legacy Artemis, were determined to be non-deferrable. Accordingly, the costs were recorded as other expense, net. There were no similar costs during 2002. In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to an unrelated party. In December 2002, the

39



Company sold its interest in ABC Technologies—France to an unrelated party. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes pretax gains of $0.7 million and $0.3 million on the sales of our interests in Accountor OY and ABC Technologies—France, respectively. There were no comparable transactions in 2001.

        Favorable changes in the rate of exchange for British Pound Sterling to United States dollars increased foreign exchange income to $0.4 million in 2002 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million in 2001.

        The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The income tax expense on the pre-tax loss of approximately $3.5 million is the result of book to tax permanent differences for the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Proha acquisition of Legacy Artemis. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was reduced by approximately $0.6 million from 2001 to 2002 as a result of a reduction in deferred tax assets, primarily tax net operating loss carry forwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At December 31, 2003, we had cash of $2.6 million compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2002. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.4 million in 2003 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 million in 2002. The net cash used in operating activities in 2003 was primary attributable to the net loss reported for the year of $7.9 million. Operating cash was further reduced by (i) a $0.7 million decrease in deferred revenue, (ii) a non-cash gain of $0.4 million from sales the sale of non-core operations of the Company, the proceeds of which are reported as an investing activity, and (iii) a net decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $1.4 million. The effects of these items on cash was offset by factors such as (i) non-cash expenses of $5.1 million in depreciation and amortization related to our fixed assets and intangible assets and (ii) a $1.0 million decrease in trade accounts receivable. Our net loss of $3.9 million in 2002 was the primary component that reduced operating cash flow. Operating cash was further reduced by (i) the $3.1 million increase in accounts receivable and (ii) a non-cash gain of $1.0 million from sales of our interests in certain affiliates, the proceeds of which are reported as an investing activity. The effects of these items on cash was offset by factors such as (i) non-cash expenses of $6.2 million in depreciation and amortization related to our fixed assets and intangible assets, (ii) an increase of $2.1 million in deferred revenues and (iii) a net increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $1.4 million.

        Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million, with capital equipment purchases of approximately $0.5 million being partially offset by proceeds from the divestiture of non-core operations of the Company. Investing activities in 2002 provided cash of approximately $0.2 million. Our capital equipment purchases, $1.0 million during 2002, represented cash used in investing activities, offset by $1.1 million in cash proceeds received from the sale of our interests in certain affiliates in 2002.

        Net cash used in financing activities consisted of $0.4 million of borrowings against our line of credit, which was offset by principal payments totaling $0.8 million. The Company uses lines of credit to fund temporary operating cash requirements and certain financial obligations. Our financing activities in 2002 provided cash of approximately $0.9 million. Fundings under our line of credit, net of repayments were $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition, we repaid $1.2 million in debt to lenders and $0.3 million on behalf of Proha during the year ended December 31, 2002.

        The Company's continued existence is dependent upon several factors including the Company's ability to sell and successfully implement its software solutions.

        A summary of the Company's future contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2003 is as follows:

        The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, as well as expected cash flows from operations and the Company's line of credit. Cash requirements through the end of fiscal year 2004 are primarily to fund operations at approximately the same levels as fiscal year 2003 offset by restructuring actions as described further below. The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of the Company's products and services, the Company's ability to service its customers, the Company's ability to maintain and expand its customer base, the level of resources required to expand the Company's marketing and sales organization, research and development activities and other factors.

        On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock. Proceeds from the financing will be used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet.

        The Company's near and long-term operating strategies focus on promoting its new and existing software and services to increase its revenue and cash flow while better positioning the Company to compete under current market conditions. At December 31, 2003, the Company had unused credit lines including overadvance capabilities of $1.5 million based on the facility with Laurus.

        In August 2003, the Company negotiated the aforementioned $5.0 million credit facility with Laurus, the terms of which are considered more favorable to the Company than the Foothill Facility; see the above discussion of this new borrowing arrangement. In addition to securing a new facility, management has also taken steps to reduce and defer discretionary spending to more closely match expenses with actual and projected revenues. During 2002, management initiated restructuring activities to streamline the Company's operations and to focus on its core expertise in enterprise portfolio and project management. This entailed reducing the work force infrastructure and selling certain non-core assets. Management believes that cash generated from operations as well as its current credit facilities will be sufficient to support the Company's liquidity requirements through December 31, 2004, depending on operating results and its short-term financing.

        During the first quarter of 2004, and following the change in management, a number of restructuring actions have been taken to further reduce the cost base of the Company. The target of those actions is to assure an operating margin breakeven on a moving forward basis from Q2 2004 even if revenue levels remained at 2003 levels. The target is to rebalance the revenue mix of the Company towards higher software license and support revenues.

        The Company has experienced net losses in each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $83.0 million

41



and its current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $9.0 million. The Company's independent public accountants have included a going concern paragraph in their audit report on the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements which have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern (based upon management's plans discussed above), which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K 303(a)(4)(ii).

Transactions with Related Parties

        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no receivables due from Proha and in 2001 had $0.2 million due from Proha, which owns approximately 80% of the Company's outstanding common stock. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had other payables to Proha of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

        On March 1, 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy ("Artemis Finland"), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan becomes due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan is secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in all of Artemis Finland's property and assets. Artemis and Proha have executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agreed to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution to give the Company a minimum of 90 days to provide additional collateral, if necessary, or repay the loan. On October 11, 2004, the Company received a notification from Proha declaring its intent to demand the return of the $3.1 million provided to the financial institution as collateral. Under this notification, the Company is required to repay the loan by January 9, 2005. The Company is currently reviewing alternatives, such as repaying the loan through available funds or through seeking additional funding, or by replacing the collateral provided by Proha with additional collateral from the Company.

        There are several related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

        At December 31, 2003, the majority of our cash balances were held primarily in the form of short- term highly liquid investment grade money market funds of major financial institutions. Due to the short-term nature of our investments and the fact that they are marked to market daily, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest or market rate risks.

        The Company utilizes lines of credit to fund operational cash needs. The Company's outstanding balance under its line of credit at December 31, 2003 was approximately $3.4 million. The weighted average interest rate for the Company's lines of credit during 2003 was 5.6%. We do not believe that we have material interest rate risk, however some of our lines of credit have variable interest rates which are based on commonly used bank interest indices. We do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in interest rate would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position.

        We conduct a significant portion of our business in currencies other than the United States dollar. For the year ended December 31, 2003, approximately 73% of our revenues and approximately 52% of our operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, the United States dollar. These foreign currencies are primarily Euros, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen. Changes in the value of major foreign currencies relative to the value of the United States dollar could potentially adversely affect revenues and operating results. We do not hedge foreign currency risk. As a result, we will continue to experience foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

Selling and Marketing

        Artemis markets its Solutions through its own direct sales and service organizations with multiple office locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan and Asia. Additionally, an extensive distributor network provides sales and service capabilities in other European countries, Australia, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Our international presence not only enables us to service global organizations, but provides strong protection against fluctuating market demands that typically affect companies relying on specific geographies for the majority of their business. The international dimension of Artemis is clearly reflected by our new web site (http://www.aisc.com) introduced this year. This site provides consistent information to the world in 10 languages, while enabling individual countries to promote their specific regional focus.

        In addition to this strong global presence, Artemis marketing and sales efforts are supported by:

Marketing Communications

        To succeed in its overall vertical marketing and sales strategy, Artemis pursues a very focused approach to marketing communications. It participates in vertically-oriented trade shows, events, local seminars, works with industry specific publications and collaborates regularly with industry analysts who cover the Portfolio and Project Management sectors. All marketing communications activities are designed to support the solution selling process.

Customer Referrals

        Our large installed customer base, and the strength and high profile nature of Artemis' referenceable customers is an essential ingredient in the Company's vertical marketing strategy. Satisfied customers are unique sources of qualified leads and help when securing sales in competitive situations.

Expansion and Strategic Alliances

        From a sales perspective, Artemis will seek to continue to consolidate its leadership throughout Western Europe, while increasing sales in North America. Artemis intends to establish a program for growth in the Japanese market, and selectively extend its presence in emerging markets such as China and Australia. To support our growth within specific industry market segments we have established strategic alliances with a number of specialized consulting companies and software integrators. These include, among others, Unilog, Fujitsu Consulting, DMR Conseil (Quebec), Robbins Gioia., Conseillen and Agilense. Our technology focused alliances include companies like IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, BAE Systems, Citrix Systems, Sun Microsystems, Categoric Software and Toshiba Corporation.

Customers

        Artemis provides mission-critical software solutions to hundreds of organizations worldwide, such as ABN AMRO Bank N.V., AMI Semiconductor, Inc., BAE Systems, The Boeing Company, CSC, Deutsche Bank, EADS, Exelon, France Telecom, First Union National Bank, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Lockheed Martin, Italy's Ministry of

45



Infrastructure, Michelin, Nokia, Pfizer Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc., Toshiba, the UK Regional Development Agencies, Union Carbide and Unisys.

        Artemis has added a significant number of names to its customer base during 2003 reflecting the success of our new solutions in the public sector, pharmaceuticals and corporate IT management. These include, among others, Bordeaux District Council, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Telecom Italia, La Poste, Carbon Trust, UK Metropolitan Police, Generali and Osaka Gas.

        Artemis has also consolidated its role as a major provider in the traditional enterprise program and project management sector with some of the world's leading organizations including, Bell Augusta Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Michelin, British Airports Authority, BAE Systems, Telenor, Sandvik, CSC, Comliet Group, Philips, EADS, Liebherr, T Systems, Toyota and VR-Track.

Intellectual properties

        Our proprietary products are not protected by patents. However, to protect our intellectual property rights, we license our software products and require our customers to enter into license agreements that impose restrictions on their ability to utilize the software or transfer the software to other users. Additionally, we seek to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets through a number of means, including, but not limited to, requiring those persons with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and restricting access to our source code. In addition, we protect our software, documentation, templates and other written materials under trademark, trade secret and copyright laws. Even with all of these efforts, there can be no assurance that such precautions will provide meaningful protection from competition or that competitors will not independently be able to develop similar technology. If, in the future, litigation is necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and/or financial condition. As a result, ultimately, we may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce our rights under the various intellectual property laws as described above.

        In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries (particularly in Asia) in which our products are or may be licensed may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws of the United States. Patent protection within the World Trade Organization appears to permit substantial discretion to member countries. A notable example is China's recent voidance of Pfizer's Viagra patent which was awarded by that country in September, 2001.

        We believe that our products do not infringe upon any valid existing proprietary rights of third parties.

Competition

        Competition comes mainly from the portfolio and project management software market, which includes companies such as Niku, Primavera and Prosight. Enterprise Resource Planning vendors also offer capabilities that can answer some requirements of our target customers, but such solutions still lag behind our solutions in terms of depth. Microsoft continues to offer tools in the project management domain that organizations primarily adopt and use for internal developments to answer some company wide requirements.

Employees

        As of September 30, 2004, Artemis directly employs approximately 347 persons on a worldwide basis; 77 in the United States of America, 225 in Europe, 30 in Japan, and 15 in Asia. Our employees are not represented by labor unions or collective bargaining agreements, except as may be required by

46



the laws of certain foreign jurisdictions. We have not experienced any work stoppages anywhere, and consider our relations with our employees worldwide to be good.

Worldwide Revenues

        Our revenue is segmented by geographic region and is based upon management responsibility for such operations. The following table presents information about the Company's revenue (net of eliminations) by geographic area for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003.

Company History

        As used herein:

        In April 2001, Opus360 and Proha entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), pursuant to which Opus360 agreed to exchange 80% of its post-transaction outstanding common stock for all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis, and 19.9% each of two Finnish subsidiaries of Proha, Intellisoft Oy and Accountor Oy respectively.

        Proha acquired Legacy Artemis and transferred its interests in several companies based in Europe, Asia and the United States to Legacy Artemis in August 2000. In addition, Proha contributed its directly held interests in several companies to Artemis in conjunction with the share exchange transactions effective July 31, 2001 (see below for additional information). Each of the "Contributed Businesses" is reflected as having been contributed by Proha as of the later of the date Legacy Artemis was acquired by Proha, or the date these interests were under the control of Proha. These Contributed Businesses are included in the results of Artemis as of the effective date a majority interest was transferred to Artemis.

47



        The active Contributed Businesses and the effective dates of their contribution to Legacy Artemis are as follows:

Current Company Name

  Location
  Contribution Date
Artemis Finland Oy   Finland   August 24, 2000
Artemis International Solutions Ltd.   United Kingdom   August 24, 2000
Artemis International Limited   Japan   August 24, 2000
PMSoft Asia Pte. Ltd.   Singapore   December 1, 2000
Artemis International S.p.A.   Italy   December 1, 2000
Enterprise Management Systems Sarl   Italy   December 1, 2000
Artemis International Sarl   France   December 1, 2000
Solutions International   France   December 1, 2000
Artemis International GmbH   Germany   December 1, 2000

        The transaction was structured in two steps (the "Share Exchange Transactions") since the number of authorized Opus360 shares needed to be increased to allow for the issuance of 8 million new shares to Proha in satisfaction of the 80% requirement. Despite its two step structure, the transaction was accounted for upon the consummation of the first closing because Proha gained a majority controlling interest and the voting agreements discussed below effectively "locked in" phase two of the transaction.

        In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Proha entered into two voting agreements, one with Ari B. Horowitz, (cofounder of Opus360 and member of the Artemis Board of Directors), and one with Opus360. Pursuant to these agreements, Mr. Horowitz agreed among other things to cause all of his 133,000 shares of Opus360 common stock to be voted in favor of the second closing. Also, Proha agreed among other things to cause all of its 3.0 million shares of Opus360 common stock to be voted in favor of the second closing.

        As a result of the above voting agreements, there were commitments to vote in favor of the second closing representing approximately 62% of the outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the transaction was not treated as a step acquisition since Proha obtained a majority controlling and voting interest upon consummation of the first closing.

        On July 31, 2001, Opus360 consummated the first phase of the share exchange. In connection with the share exchange Opus360 acquired all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis in exchange for approximately 3 million shares of common stock of Opus360. As a result of this exchange, Proha obtained a controlling ownership and management interest in Opus360. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy Artemis treated as the accounting acquiror and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." The second closing was completed on November 20, 2001 by the filing by Opus360 of a definitive proxy statement with the SEC containing the required disclosures and financial information of the combined and consolidated companies. At the second closing, Opus360 delivered approximately 5 million additional shares of its common stock in return for the delivery by Proha of 19.9% of the outstanding common stock of two Proha subsidiaries. Since completion of the second closing, Proha has owned approximately 80% of the post-transaction outstanding common stock of the Company.

        In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to Pretax Ltd, an unrelated party, for a pretax gain of approximately $0.7 million.

        In December 2002, the Company sold the operations of ABC Technologies-France, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Artemis International Sarl, France, to SAS Institute. The total proceeds from this transaction were approximately $0.4 million.

48



        In October 2003, the Company sold the assets of its Software Productivity Research ("SPR") operations to a group of individuals. SPR is now privately owned and separately registered in the State of Delaware as Software Productivity Research, LLC. Total consideration received for the sale of SPR, including liabilities assumed by the buyer, was approximately $0.4 million.

Properties

        Artemis leases all of its United States and international facilities pursuant to leases that expire from a month-to-month basis to February 28, 2008. Two of these leases have single renewal options. Artemis' corporate headquarters are currently located at 4041 MacArthur Blvd, Suite 401, Newport Beach, California. The Company also maintains facilities at 1811 Pike Road, Longmont, Colorado, where the Company occupies approximately 10,000 square feet of office space. In addition, the Company maintains facilities in various other locations across the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company's facilities comprise a total of 29,000 square feet in the United States and 36,000 square feet in Europe and Asia. We believe our current facilities are sufficient for our needs.

Legal Proceedings

        The Company is a party to a number of legal claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of these claims will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Board of Directors

        Our directors are elected annually to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

        Our board of directors has created a Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee. In addition, from time to time our board has created other sub-committees in order to address specific needs of our Company.

        The Compensation Committee is authorized to review and make recommendations to the board of directors on all matters regarding the remuneration of our executive officers, including the administration of our compensation plans. The Compensation Committee is intended to be comprised of at least three members. Currently, the Compensation Committee is comprised of: Mr. Odman, Mr. Liemandt and Mr. Murphy.

        The Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the board of directors as to the selection and independence of our external auditor, maintaining communication between the board of directors and the independent auditor, reviewing the annual audit report submitted by the independent auditor and determining the nature and extent of problems, if any, presented by such audit warranting consideration by our board of directors. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Odman, Murphy and Pere. Membership on the Audit Committee is intended to be restricted to directors who are independent of management and free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the board of directors, could interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member. In this regard, the Company will be establishing a fully independent Audit Committee as required under Nasdaq rules, to be effective conditioned upon the shareholders approving the slate of directors as proposed at the Annual Shareholders Meeting, currently scheduled for November 30, 2004.

51



        Pursuant to and consistent with the Preferred Series A Financing transaction as described above, the Board has created a Nominating Committee. Any candidate nominated to serve as an independent director on the Company's board of directors, including with respect to the next election of the Company's board of directors, shall be nominated by the Nominating Committee. Membership on the Nominating Committee is restricted to directors who are independent under the standards as may be promulgated by the Nasdaq stock market from time to time. One member of the Nominating Committee shall be designated by a majority of the Series A Holders, while a second member of the Nominating Committee shall be designated by Proha. Currently, the Nominating Committee is comprised of the Series A Holders' Board designee, Joseph Liemandt, and Proha's Board designee, Mr. Odman. The third member of the Nominating Committee was mutually agreed upon by Messrs. Odman and Liemandt. That third member has been identified as Mr. David Cairns, who is now up for Shareholder approval to be voted upon at the Annual Shareholders Meeting currently scheduled for November 30, 2004.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        No interlocking relationships exist between the members of the Company's Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any such interlocking relationship existed in the past. None of the members of the Compensation Committee has ever been an officer or employee of the Company at any time.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

        Under the definition of "independence" in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350, the Company currently does not have a fully independent Audit Committee. The Company has relied on the combined expertise and experience of all the members of the audit committee to date in 2004, in the stead of any one individual who qualifies as a financial expert serving as a member of the Audit Committee. Assuming Mr. Cairns is confirmed as a director at the Annual Shareholders Meeting currently scheduled for November 30, 2004, he does qualify and will serve on the Audit Committee as a financial expert.

Code of Ethics

        The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for its "Senior Financial Officers" (the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and others performing similar functions), as well as a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all its employees. The Company shall, without charge, provide to any person, upon request, a copy of its Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. All such requests should be mailed to: Artemis International Solutions Corporation, 4041 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 401, Newport Beach, CA 92660, Attention: Robert Stefanovich, EVP/CFO.

        As required by SEC rules, the Company will report within five business days the nature of any change or waiver of its Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers.

Director Compensation

        Our directors who are also salaried officers or employees of our Company do not receive special or additional compensation for serving on our board of directors or any of its committees. Effective

52



January 1, 2003, each director who is not a salaried officer or employee of our Company (the "Non-Employee Director") receives the following compensation:

        Each Non-Employee Director receives a retainer of $15,000 per year, paid on a quarterly basis, provided that the individual Non-Employee Directors attend at least 60% of the board meetings held during the year. In addition, each Non-Employee Director who is also a member of the audit committee, compensation committee, or any other committee as may be established by the board of directors receives $5,000 per year, paid on a quarterly basis, provided that the Non-Employee Directors attend at least 60% of the applicable committee's meetings held during the year. The board of directors may decide, at its discretion, to defer such cash payments based on the Company's performance and financial condition.

        Each Non-Employee Director is entitled to an initial annual grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock with 50% to be vested as of the date of grant and 50% to vest after 1 year, if the future attendance by the respective Non-Employee Director is not less than 60% of the Board meetings held each year. Each subsequent year, each Non-Employee Director is entitled to receive an additional option grant to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock which vests fully after one year, if the future attendance by the respective Non-Employee Director is not less than 60% of the Board meetings held during the year. In addition, each Non-Employee Director who is also a member of the audit committee, compensation committee, or any other committee as may be established by the Board of Directors is entitled to an annual option grant to purchase 3,500 shares of common stock which vests fully after one year, if the future attendance by the Non-Employee Director is not less than 60% of the applicable committee's meetings held during the year.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company engaged Bengt Algevik to perform certain business consultancy functions for which he received consideration, including travel and other expenses, of approximately $200,000. Mr. Algevik completed his assignment in May 2004 and was appointed as a director of the Company effective June 16, 2004.

        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no receivables due from Proha and in 2001 had $0.2 million due from Proha, which, if you factor in the common stock conversion rights of the Series A Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock arising from the Preferred Series A Financing transaction as described above, owns approximately 57% of the Company's outstanding common stock, post conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had other payables to Proha of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively

        On March 1, 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy ("Artemis Finland"), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan becomes due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan is secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in all of Artemis Finland's property and assets. Artemis and Proha have executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agreed to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution to give the Company a minimum of 90 days to provide additional collateral, if necessary, or repay the loan. On October 11, 2004, the Company received a notification from Proha declaring its intent to demand the return of the $3.1 million provided to the financial institution as collateral. Under this notification, the Company is required to repay the loan by January 9, 2005. The Company is currently reviewing alternatives, such as repaying the loan through available funds or through seeking additional funding, or by replacing the collateral provided by Proha with additional collateral from the Company.

        There are several related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The selling security holders and any of their donees, pledgees, assignees and other successors-in-interest, may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales, which may include block transactions, may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

        The sale price to the public may be:

        Subject to the applicable securities laws, the shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling security holder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

        The selling security holders may also engage in short sales against the box, which are sales where the seller owns enough shares to cover the borrowed shares, if necessary, puts and calls and other transactions in securities or derivative securities of our company and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The selling security holders may pledge their shares to a broker under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If the selling security holder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

        Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

64



        The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

        The selling security holders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered under this prospectus through an underwriter. To our knowledge, the selling security holders have not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter, and we cannot assure you as to whether any such agreement will be entered into. If a selling security holder informs us that it has entered into such an agreement or agreements, any material details will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        The selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling security holder or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

        For the period a holder owns the warrants, the holder has the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock without assuming the risk of ownership of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of those derivative securities. The terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the period in which those derivative securities remain outstanding may be adversely affected. The holders of the derivative securities are most likely to voluntarily exercise those derivative securities when the conversion price or exercise price is less than the market price for our common stock. However, we cannot assure you as to whether any of those derivative securities will be exercised.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

        The securities being registered are shares of Artemis's common stock. The holders of common stock:

        On June 16, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of unregistered convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Series A Financing"). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") to certain accredited investors (the "Series A Holders"), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of common stock.

        In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share (the "Initial Warrants") and (ii) 210-day warrants (a) that are exercisable only in the event that the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price. The number of issuable shares will be determined by the "Six Month Price" which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the common stock of the Company for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date (the "Additional Warrants"). The Initial Warrants vested and became fully exercisable on the issuance date. The maximum number of shares issuable for the Additional Warrants is approximately 1,058,000 shares. As of October 14, 2004, the Six Month Price was $2.01 per share, which would result in the issuance of 388,636 Additional Warrants to the Series A Holders.

        The Series A Holders (i) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which holders of common stock are entitled to vote, (ii) have certain voting consents and (iii) so long as at least twenty-five percent of the shares of preferred stock are outstanding, have the right to elect one member of the board of directors of the Company.

        Each of the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments in connection with mergers, acquisitions, stock splits, dividends and the like. The Series A Holders may pay the exercise price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise of the warrant by paying cash equal to the number of shares to be purchased times the appropriate exercise price per share, or, if the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price to be paid per share, the Series A Holders may, at their option, exchange the right to purchase all or part of the maximum shares underlying the warrant for that number of shares equal in value to the amount by which the closing price of a share of our common stock preceding the exercise date exceeds the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased at that exercise price.

        The following general summary of our capital stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. See "Where You Can Find More Information" for a description of the documents incorporated by reference.

66



General

        We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per share without designation. As of October 14, 2004, 9,965,018 shares of common stock and 4,090,909 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

        Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote at all meetings of shareholders. All shares of common stock are equal to each other with respect to liquidation rights and dividend rights. There are no preemptive rights associated with our common stock. In the event that we liquidate, dissolve, or wind up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all of our assets remaining after satisfaction of all our liabilities and all liquidation preferences granted to holders of our preferred stock.

        We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since 2000 and do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future.

Preferred Stock

        Subject to certain restrictions arising from the Preferred Series A Financing transaction described above in this prospectus, our board of directors may, from time to time, authorize the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Subject to the provisions of our amended certificate of incorporation and limitations prescribed by law, our board of directors is authorized to adopt resolutions to issue shares, establish the number of shares, change the number of shares constituting any series, and provide or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on shares of our preferred stock, including dividend rights, terms of redemption, conversion rights and liquidation preferences, in each case without any action or vote by our stockholders. We have no current intention to issue any shares of preferred stock other than the Serias A Preferred Stock issued to the Series A Holders described in this propectus.

        One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders by, among other things:

        With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Holders maintain certain powers, preferences and rights that are senior to the holders of our common stock. Such rights include, but are not limited to, by way of example, the potential payment of a dividend. So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, the common stock without the prior express written consent of at least a majority of the Series A Holders. One other example of such rights relates to possibly raising additional capital via the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future. So long as at least 30% of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot issue any additional preferred shares other than to the Series A Holders and the Company cannot issue any other securities or incur any indebtedness exceeding that which existed on June 16, 2004, except in

67



accordance with the Equity Exclusion and the Debt Exclusion, (as each term is defined in the Certificate of Designations, which can be reviewed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2004, relating to the Preferred Series A Financing transaction,) without the prior express written consent of not less than a majority of the Series A Holders. Other preferences and/or rights held by the Series A Holders include, but are not limited to:

Convertible Debenture

        Under the terms of the Minimum Borrowing Note issued to Laurus in the amount of $1.5 million, Laurus may convert such note into a maximum of 722,646 shares of Altemis' common stock. The conversion price ranges from $1.45 per share to $2.57 per share. Under the terms of the related agreement, absent an event of default as defined, conversion of the Minimum Borrowing Note into the Company's common stock may not result in beneficial ownership by Laurus (including shares issuable under the Laurus Warrant that are exercisable within 60 days of any determination date) of more than 2.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Warrants

        As of October 14, 2004 there were warrants to purchase approximately 537,000 shares of Company common stock outstanding and exercisable. This excludes the Additional Warrants as defined on page 4 of this prospectus under the section "Preferred Series A Financing'. Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of our shareholders.

Transfer Agent

        The transfer agent for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.


LEGAL MATTERS

        Our counsel, Thelen, Reid & Priest LLP, New York, New York, has passed on the legality of the shares to which this prospectus relates.

EXPERTS

        The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 and for each of the years then ended included in this Registration Statement have been so included in reliance on the report of Squar, Milner, Reehl and Williamson, LLP, independent registered public accountants given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.


DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

        Our Amended and Restated By-laws provide that a director shall not be liable to us or our shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such capacity except for liability in the event that:


        Our Amended and Restated By-laws provide that we shall indemnify directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for all costs reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding in which such director or officer is made a party by virtue of his or her being an officer or director of our company, if such director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of our company, and in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be available to directors, officers, and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

69



SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price and impair our ability to raise capital in the future.

        As of October 14, 2004, 9,965,018 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Approximately 1.9 million of our outstanding shares are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act before giving effect to this prospectus. After giving effect to this prospectus, assuming that all Series A Holders convert their Series A Preferred Stock and exercise their Initial Warrants, approximately 1.7 million additional common shares will be freely tradeable subject to certain restrictions under applicable securities laws.

        As of October 14, 2004, options to purchase approximately 1,800,000 shares of common stock under our stock option plans were granted and are outstanding. Approximately 841,000 of the shares underlying these options have been registered with the SEC and, subject to the applicable vesting requirements, upon exercise of these options the underlying shares may be resold into the public market. Approximately 941,000 shares underlying these options have not been registered with the SEC and are subject to stockholder approval.

        In general, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

        Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to requirements with respect to manner-of-sale requirements, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell his or her shares without complying with the manner-of-sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

        Rule 701, as currently in effect, permits our employees, officers, directors, and consultants who purchased shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract to resell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without compliance with the specific restrictions of Rule 144. Rule 701 provides that affiliates may sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirement and that non-affiliates may sell their shares in reliance on Rule 144 without complying with the holding period, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Artemis International Solutions Corporation and Subsidiaries

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Artemis International Solutions Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has negative working capital of approximately $9.0 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $83.0 million at December 31, 2003, and experienced negative operating cash flow for fiscal 2003. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

        As more fully described in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company's previously issued December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet and its consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and comprehensive loss for the year then ended did not reflect the additional minimum liability associated with the Company's defined benefit pension plan (the "pension plan"). The accompanying financial statements described in the preceding sentence have been restated to report such liability in the approximate amount of $1,060,000. This retroactive adjustment has been charged directly to stockholders' equity in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has also revised certain disclosures relating to (a) the funded status of the pension plan and (b) the December 31, 2003 fair value of the pension plan's assets. These differences principally resulted from the combination of a mathematical error and misapplication of certain financial-statement disclosure requirements. The amended disclosures did not effect the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, as more fully described in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 to reduce such loss by approximately $357,000 in order to correct the foreign currency translation adjustment relating to its investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. None of the adjustments or disclosure revisions discussed in this paragraph affected the previously reported net loss for any year presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

ARTEMIS INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Description of Business

        Artemis International Solutions Corporation and Subsidiaries, ("Artemis" or the "Company") is a provider of enterprise-based portfolio, project and resource management software solutions. Artemis' solutions consist of scalable client/server and Web-based applications, and are supported by consulting services and an international distribution network of 50 offices in 47 countries. Artemis services key vertical markets such as (i) Aerospace and Defense, (ii) Energy and Telecom, (iii) Pharmaceuticals, (iv) Government, (v) Financial Services (vi) Automotive and (vii) High Technology.

        As used herein:

        On August 24, 2000 Proha purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Legacy Artemis. The purchase was structured as a share exchange whereby Proha issued shares of its publicly traded (Helsinki Exchange) common stock to Legacy Artemis' equity holders in exchange for all of Legacy Artemis' common stock. The purchase price was $50 million, less post-closing adjustments of approximately $6 million. The purchase price adjustments were determined subsequent to the effective date of the transaction, and as a result, Legacy Artemis' former shareholders were required to contribute to Legacy Artemis $6 million of the Proha stock. These contributions have been recorded on a net of tax basis, as additional paid-in capital and as an offsetting reduction in stockholders' equity, similar to treasury stock, as an investment in the stock of the parent company. Subsequent to the receipt of the Proha shares, Legacy Artemis sold a portion of these shares, resulting in a gain of $518,000, net of taxes of $304,000, which has been recorded as additional paid-in capital. At December 31, 2000, the Company held 392,036 shares of Proha, recorded at $2,783,000, net of deferred income taxes of $1,634,000. In 2001, Proha cancelled these shares, which was treated as a reduction of additional paid in capital.

        As a result of the transaction described in the preceding paragraph, Legacy Artemis recorded goodwill of approximately $30.7 million with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. Legacy Artemis also recorded approximately $32.3 million of identifiable intangible assets and $2.3 million of in-process research and development ("R&D") expense. The aforementioned intangible assets were pushed down to the financial statements of Legacy Artemis, with a corresponding increase of additional paid-in capital. The in-process R&D expense recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2000 resulted from an allocation of purchase price to the two projects under

F-7



development by the Company in August 2000; such projects were not considered to have reached technological feasibility at that date. Such R&D expense was also pushed down to the financial statements of Legacy Artemis. As a result of the contribution by Proha to the Company of Proha's interest in several foreign companies, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets of approximately $10.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively, were also recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2000.

        As noted above, Proha acquired Legacy Artemis in August 2000. Proha subsequently transferred its interests in several companies based in Europe, Asia and the United States to Legacy Artemis. In addition, Proha contributed its directly held interests in several companies to Artemis in conjunction with the share exchange transactions effective December 2000. Each of the "Contributed Businesses" is reflected as having been contributed by Proha as of the later of the date Legacy Artemis was acquired by Proha or the date these interests were under the control of Proha, Legacy Artemis' parent. These Contributed Businesses are included in the results of Artemis as of the effective date a majority interest was transferred to Artemis.

        The active Contributed Businesses and the effective dates of their contribution to Legacy Artemis by Proha were as follows:

The Proha/Opus 360 Share Exchange Transactions

        In April 2001, Opus360 and Proha entered into a share exchange agreement ("the Share Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which, upon completion of the transactions contemplated under such agreement ("the Share Exchange Transactions"), Opus360 exchanged 80% of its post-transaction outstanding common stock for all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis, and 19.9% of two Finnish subsidiaries of Proha, Accountor OY (see Note 2) and Intellisoft OY. As a result of the Share Exchange Transactions, Proha owns 80% of the outstanding common stock of Artemis.

        The transaction was structured in two steps since the number of authorized Opus360 shares needed to be increased to allow for the issuance of 8.0 million new shares to Proha. Despite its two step structure, the transaction was accounted for upon the consummation of the first closing because Proha gained a majority controlling interest and the voting agreements discussed below effectively "locked in" phase two of the transaction.

        In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Proha entered into two voting agreements, one with Ari B. Horowitz, (cofounder of Opus360 and member of the Artemis Board of Directors), and one with Opus360. Pursuant to these agreements, Ari B. Horowitz agreed among other things to cause all of his 133,000 shares of Opus360 common stock to be voted in favor of the second closing. Also, Proha agreed among other things to cause all of its 3.0 million shares of Opus360's common stock to be voted in favor of the second closing.

        As a result of the above voting agreements, there were commitments to vote in favor of the second closing representing approximately 62% of the outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the transaction

F-8



was not treated as a step acquisition since Proha obtained a majority controlling and voting interest upon consummation of the first closing.

        On July 31, 2001, Opus360 consummated the first phase of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. In connection with this Agreement, Opus360 acquired all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis, in exchange for approximately 3.0 million shares of Opus360's restricted common stock. As a result of this exchange, Proha obtained a controlling ownership and management interest in Opus360. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy Artemis treated as the accounting acquirer and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 141, Business Combinations. The second closing was completed November 20, 2001 by Opus360's filing of a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") containing the required disclosures and financial information of the combined and consolidated companies. At the second closing, Opus360 delivered approximately 5.0 million additional shares of its restricted common stock in return for the delivery by Proha of 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the two Proha subsidiaries. Upon completion of the second closing, Proha owned approximately 80% of the post-transaction outstanding common stock of the Company.

        All information regarding equity instruments and related per share amounts has been restated within this annual report to reflect the effects of the reverse merger transaction described above.

Basis of Presentation

        Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest, governing body and senior management in the combined business to be treated as the acquiror for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange Transactions, Proha, the former shareholder of Legacy Artemis, holds a majority interest in the Company, governing body and senior management in the combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes the transaction has been treated as a reverse acquisition in which Legacy Artemis is deemed to have purchased Opus360, although Opus360 (which changed its name to Artemis International Solutions Corporation on November 20, 2001) remains the legal parent company and the registrant for SEC reporting purposes.

        The consolidated financial statements included herein represent the historical financial statements of Legacy Artemis, as the accounting acquirer, and the acquisition of Opus360 has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Opus360, as the legally acquired entity, are recorded at their estimated fair values at July 31, 2001. The excess of the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets over the purchase price is treated as negative goodwill. Negative goodwill is first applied to reduce the assigned value of identifiable non-current assets other than long-term investments in marketable securities and deferred tax assets, until those assets are reduced to zero.

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

        The Company's continued existence is dependent upon several factors including the Company's ability to sell and successfully implement its software solutions. The Company has experienced net losses in each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $83.0 million and its current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $9.0 million.

F-9



        A summary of the Company's future contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2003 is as follows:

 
  Year ending December 31,
 
  2004
  2005
  2006
  2007
  2008-
thereafter

  Total
 
  (in thousands)

Long-term debt   $ 352   $ 19   $ 8   $ 8   $ 289   $ 676
Obligations under non-cancellable operating leases     3,136     2,783     1,611     159     38     7,727
   
 
 
 
 
 
    $ 3,488   $ 2,802   $ 1,619   $ 167   $ 327   $ 8,403
   
 
 
 
 
 

        Other cash requirements through the end of fiscal year 2004 are primarily to fund operations at approximately the same levels as fiscal year 2003. On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock. Proceeds from the financing will be used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt, and (iii) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet.

        The Company's near and long-term operating strategies focus on promoting its new and existing software and services to increase its revenue and cash flow while better positioning the Company to compete under current market conditions At December 31, 2003, the Company had unused credit lines and overadvances of $1.1 million. The Company generated negative operating cash flow for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003.

        Effective June 30, 2003 the Company paid off its Note Payable and $2.0 million Line of Credit (the "Foothill Facility") held with Wells Fargo Foothill and obtained a bridge loan of $3.5 million from Proha to cover short-term cash needs until the Company was able to enter into a new asset-based lending facility. In August of 2003, the Company negotiated a new $5.0 million credit facility, the terms of which are considered more favorable to the Company than the Foothill Facility; see Note 19 for a detailed discussion of the terms of this new borrowing arrangement. In addition to securing a new facility, management has also taken some immediate steps to reduce and defer discretionary spending to more closely match expenses with actual and projected revenues. During 2002, management initiated discretionary restructuring activities to streamline the Company's operations and to focus on its core expertise in enterprise portfolio and project management. This entailed reducing the work force and selling certain non-core assets. Further restructuring activities are expected to focus on increasing efficiencies within the Company's global infrastructure. The Company may also seek additional capital resources to fund strategic initiatives and further strengthen its global presence. Such additional equity financing may be dilutive to the Company's stockholders. The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of the Company's products and services, the Company's ability to service its customers, the Company's ability to maintain and expand its customer base, the level of resources required to expand the Company's marketing and sales organization, research and development activities and other factors. Management believes that cash generated from operations as well as its current credit facilities will be sufficient to support the Company's liquidity requirements through December 31, 2004, depending on operating results and the level of acceptance of its products, its costs and its short-term financing.

        The Company's independent public accountants have included a going concern paragraph in their report on the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements which have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern (based upon management's plans discussed above), which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

F-10



Reverse Stock Split

        On February 7, 2003, the Company effected a one for twenty-five reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. All information regarding common stock, stock options, warrants and related per share amounts has been restated within this annual report to reflect the reverse stock split, except for certain disclosures relating to Proha/Opus 360 Share Exchange Transactions discussed above.

Reclassifications

        Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Artemis International Solutions Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Equity investments in which Artemis owns at least 20% of the voting securities, or exercises significant influence over (either individually or in concert with its parent, Proha) are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company owns less than 20% and is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue recognition, and the recoverability of intangible assets that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, revenue recognition, valuation and useful economic lives of intangible assets, accrued pension liabilities and certain other liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company has adopted Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, which supersedes SOP 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition, as well as SOP, 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions, which amends SOP 97-2 and supercedes SOP 98-4. SOP 97-2, as amended, generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative estimated fair market value of each of the elements. The estimated fair value of an element must be based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE"). Software license revenue allocated to a software product is recognized upon delivery of the product or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance term. First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. Estimated fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. For such arrangements with multiple obligations, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the estimated fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. The Company at times may enter into multiple-customer contracts in which the Company allocates revenue based on the number of specified users at each customer, and recognizes revenue upon customer acceptance and satisfying the other applicable conditions of the above described accounting policy.

F-11



        Services revenue is recognized as the service is performed assuming that sufficient evidence exists to estimate the fair value of the services. Consulting and training services are billed based on contractual hourly rates and revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company's products which do not require significant customization to or modification of the underlying software code.

        Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.

Cost of Revenues

        Cost of software revenue primarily reflects the manufacture expense and royalties to third party developers, which are recognized upon delivery of the product or in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date and for which VSOE has not been established. Cost of support includes (i) sales commissions and salaries paid to employees who provide first and second level support to clients and (ii) fees paid to consultants, which are recognized as the services are performed. Sales commissions are expensed as incurred. The costs incurred for implementation, customer support and training of the Company's clients using internal or external resources are recorded as cost of services revenue when the services are performed.

Software Development Costs

        The costs incurred to develop computer software products to be sold or otherwise marketed are charged to expense until technological feasibility of the product has been established. Once technological feasibility of related software products has been established, computer software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of amortized cost or estimated net realizable value. When a product is ready for general release, its capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method of amortization over a period not to exceed three years. Company management believes that technological feasibility is not established until a beta version of the product exists. Historically, costs incurred during the period from when a beta version is available until general release have not been material. Accordingly, during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 no software costs have been capitalized.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

        We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on our qualitative and quantitative review of credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, return and discount experience. We reassess the allowance for doubtful accounts each period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from three to five years, or the remaining lease term when applicable. Gains and losses on disposals are included in results of operations at amounts equal to the difference between the book value of the disposed assets and the proceeds received upon disposal. Expenditures for replacements and leasehold improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

F-12



Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets at December 31, 2003 consist of acquired customer bases and current core technology. Customer bases acquired directly are valued at cost, which approximates estimated fair value at the time of purchase. The costs assigned to intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 42 months from January 1, 2002. Management believes that the straight-line method is appropriate for the Company's customer list, given the caliber and nature of its customer relationships. Substantially all intangible assets remaining at December 31, 2003 will be fully amortized by July 2005, assuming no impairment adjustments or future changes in their estimated useful lives.

        Intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment to ensure they are appropriately valued. Conditions that may indicate an impairment issue exists include an economic downturn or a change in the assessment of future operations. Where applicable, an appropriate interest rate is utilized, based on appropriate economic factors, risk and cost of capital.

        For additional information, see the discussion of SFAS No. 144 in "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" immediately below.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Effects of the Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS No. 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation of a subsidiary of which control is likely to be temporary. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 commencing January 1, 2002, and it did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations.

        SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations, including amortizable intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present. In the event a condition is identified that may indicate an impairment issue, an assessment is performed using a variety of methodologies, including analysis of undiscounted future cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds and independent appraisals. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or estimated fair market value, less cost to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $43 million. No such impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 or December 31, 2002. (See Note 5).

Translation of Foreign Currencies

        Artemis uses the U.S. dollar as it functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year or other period presented. In accordance with SFAS 52, Foreign Currency Translation, translation adjustments are included as a component of stockholders' equity/deficit. The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, and a foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

F-13


Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse (See Note 10).

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

        The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation

        The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 15. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No.25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For disclosure purposes only, the fair value of all stock options granted to employees is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model

        The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for all of its stock-based employee compensation plans.

Segment Information

        The Company discloses information regarding segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131 Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting of financial information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. The Company is managed, and financial information is developed on a geographical basis, rather than a product line basis. Thus, the Company has provided segment information on a geographical basis (see Note 11).

Comprehensive Income/Loss

        The Company reports comprehensive income/loss in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized holding gains and losses, net of related tax effects, on available for sale securities to be included in comprehensive income/loss until realized. Translation gains or losses are also included in comprehensive income/loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss).

Postemployment Benefits

        The Company records postemployment benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions. The Company discloses postemployment benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postemployment Benefits. SFAS No. 132 establishes standards for employers who provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. Postemployment benefits include, but are not limited to, salary continuation, supplemental employment benefits and disability related benefits.

Earnings/ Loss per Common Share

        The Company calculates earnings or loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Accordingly, basic loss per common share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities," was issued in June 2002 and is effective for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is complying with SFAS No. 146.

F-15



        SFAS No. 147 relates exclusively to certain financial institutions, and thus does not apply to the Company.

        In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the estimated fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, while the disclosure requirements became applicable in 2002. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements of FIN No. 45. The other requirements of this pronouncement did not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," was issued in December 2002 and is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this pronouncement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities, or "VIEs"), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (a) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (b) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are not small business issuers are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities ("SPEs"): the first period ended after December 15, 2003; and (b) For all other types of VIEs: the first period ended after March 15, 2004. Management has determined that the Company does not have any SPEs (as defined), and is presently evaluating the other potential effects of FIN No. 46 (as amended) on its consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 150-03 ("FSP 150-3"), which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No. 150 for all mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150's measurement guidance

F-16



for other types of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement ("SFAS No. 132-R") expands employers' disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88. or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. The defined benefit pension plan of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary is the Company's only defined benefit post-retirement plan. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign pension plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign pension plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2005. The interim-period disclosure requirements which became effective on January 1, 2004 were adopted by the Company on that date. The Company is presently evaluating the other effects of SFAS No. 132-R on its annual and interim-period financial statement disclosures.

        Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Proha/Legacy Artemis/Merger

        Goodwill of $30.7 million resulting from the acquisition of Legacy Artemis by Proha on August 24, 2000 was pushed down to the financial statements of Legacy Artemis, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. This goodwill represented the excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired in business combinations. Identifiable intangible assets of $32.3 million resulting from the acquisition of the Company by Proha on August 24, 2000 were also pushed down to Legacy Artemis, with an offsetting increase in additional paid-in capital. Goodwill and intangible assets of $10.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively, were recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the contribution by Proha to the Company of Proha's interests in Projektihallinto Proha Oy, Enterprise Management Systems Sarl, Artemis International S.p.A., Solutions International SA, Artemis International Gmbh and Artemis International Sarl.

        At the date the Company was acquired by Proha, the Company had two projects in development: Release 5 of the Company's Views product line and Portfolio Director. Neither of these projects was considered to have reached technological feasibility at the acquisition date. Approximately $2.3 million of the purchase price consisted of in-process research and development existing at August 24, 2000, which was pushed down to Legacy Artemis financial statements and recorded as research and development expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2000.

Opus 360/Proha Merger

        As noted above, in April 2001, Opus360 and Proha entered into the Share Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which, upon completion of the transactions contemplated under such agreement, Opus360 exchanged 80% of its post-transaction outstanding common stock for all of the capital stock of Legacy Artemis, and 19.9% of two Finnish subsidiaries of Proha, Intellisoft OY and Accountor OY. As a result of the Share Exchange Transactions more fully described in Note 1, Proha owns 80% of the outstanding common stock of Artemis.

        The purchase price was determined using 80% of the market value (market capitalization) of Opus360's interest in the post-merger combined entity, based on the five day average closing share price of the Opus 360 common stock for the two days prior to, the day of, and the two days subsequent to the announcement and approval of the transaction, April 11, 2001. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Opus360, as the acquired entity, were recorded at their estimated fair values at July 31, 2001.

        The excess of the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets over the purchase price was treated as negative goodwill, which was applied to reduce the value assigned to certain non-current assets.

The July 31, 2001 book value of purchased software approximates fair value because it was acquired from an unrelated party in May 2001. The July 31, 2001 estimated fair value of capitalized software (relating to completed technology) and other noncurrent assets was based on an independent valuation The third-party valuation firm also provided an opinion on the estimated fair value of the restricted common stock

Sale of Accountor Oy

        In November 2002, the Company sold its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy to Pretax Ltd, an unrelated party. Under the terms of the sale, the Company's gross proceeds were $0.8 million less transaction costs and purchase commitments (net of reimbursements) of approximately $0.1 million. The Company's investment in Accountor Oy was carried at less than $0.1 million at the time of sale. Accordingly, the Company's other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes a pretax gain of $0.7 million on the sale of Accountor Oy. During 2003, subsequent events occurred that caused adjustments to the purchase price, as provided in the original agreements. The result is the Company's

F-19



other income for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes a reduction of $0.1 million of the 2002 pretax gain on the sale of Accountor Oy. The final pretax gain on the sale of Accountor Oy is $0.6 million.

Sale of ABC Technologies—France

        In December 2002, the Company sold its interest in ABC Technologies—France to an unrelated party. Under the terms of the sale, the Company collected proceeds of approximately $0.3 million in 2003. Based in Paris, France, ABC Technologies—France was managed by Artemis' French subsidiary. The Company's investment in ABC Technologies was carried at approximately zero at the time of sale. Accordingly, the Company's other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes a pretax gain of $0.3 million on the sale of ABC Technologies—France. Based on achieving certain milestones, an additional $0.1 million of contingent consideration was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Sale of Assets of Software Productivity Research

        In October 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Software Productivity Research ("SPR") operations. Total consideration received for the sale of SPR, including liabilities assumed by the buyer, was $0.4 million.

  Total   $ 6,520   $ 10,637   $ 14,755
   
 
 

        Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives of forty two months. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company evaluated the carrying values of its goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. An impairment charge of $43.4 million was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2001. Specifically, the significant decline in business activity generally and in software license revenues following the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, as well as the Company's fourth quarter operating and cash flow losses, required an adjustment to the carrying value of long-lived assets. Using discounted cash flow projections of expected returns from these assets, the Company determined that the carrying value of its goodwill and identifiable intangible assets should be reduced to approximately $14.8 million. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 approximately $4.1 million, $4.1 million, and $18.8 million, respectively, of goodwill and intangible assets was amortized. Amortization expense incurred in 2001 was prior to the aforementioned impairment of intangible assets in December 2001. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company established a new cost basis for its intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, and began amortization of such assets over management's new estimated useful economic life of forty-two months. Accordingly, the pre-January 1, 2002 accumulated amortization has been excluded from the table in the preceding paragraph.

        The Company's proprietary products are not protected by patents. However, to protect the Company's intellectual property rights, the Company licenses its software products and requires its customers to enter into license agreements that impose restrictions on their ability to utilize the software or transfer the software to other users. Additionally, the Company seeks to avoid disclosure of its trade secrets through a number of means, including, but not limited to, requiring those persons with

F-21



access to the Company's proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with the Company and restricting access to the Company's source code. In addition, the Company protects its software, documentation, templates and other written materials under trademark, trade secret and copyright laws. Even with all of these efforts, there can be no assurance that such precautions will provide meaningful protection from competition or that competitors will not independently be able to develop similar technology. If, in the future, litigation is necessary to enforce the Company's intellectual property rights, to protect the Company's trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and/or financial condition. As a result, ultimately, the Company may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce its rights under the various intellectual property laws as described above. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which the Company's products are or may be licensed may not protect the Company's products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws of the United States.

        The Company believes that its products do not infringe upon any valid existing proprietary rights of third parties.

Note 6. Debt

        In June 2003, the Company paid off its Note Payable and line of credit with Wells Fargo Foothill ("Foothill") and declined the option to extend the underlying Loan and Security Agreement with Foothill. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the note payable to Foothill was zero and $0.7 million, respectively.

        In August 2003, the Company agreed to issue a convertible note to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") who has extended a revolving line of credit for up to $5 million (the "Laurus Note") to the Company. At December 31, 2003, the Laurus Note bore interest at a rate of 5%.

Options and warrants outstanding at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 approximated 1.2 million, 1.3 million and 630,000, respectively.

Note 9. Benefit Plans

        The Company has a defined contribution plan ("the Plan") which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan covers all U.S. employees. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation. Employer contributions vest to the participants incrementally over a period of five years. Company contributions to the Plan were zero during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2001.

        The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan covering the employees of its United Kingdom subsidiary. Company contributions are determined based upon a percentage, as determined by an actuary, of an eligible employee's annual salary. Company contributions to the defined benefit pension plan during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

        Net defined benefit pension cost included the following components:

        The primary actuarial assumptions used in determining the above pension benefit obligation amounts were as follows:

 
  For the years ended
December 31,

 
 
  2003
  2002
  2001
 
Discount Rate   5 % 6 % 6 %
Increase in Future Compensation   5 % 4 % 5 %
Annual Rate of Return on Plan Assets   7 % 7 % 8 %

        As permitted by SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, actuarial gains and losses are generally not amortized to pension expense in the period in which they arise when the gain/loss is not yet included in the market-related value of plan assets. GAAP allows such deferral accounting in any

F-25



period in which the beginning-of-the-year unrecognized actuarial net gain or loss does not exceed 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets.

        For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company's defined benefit pension plan was eligible for the deferral accounting described in the preceding paragraph. Thus pension expense for such years does not include any amortization of the actuarial net change in the market-related value of plan assets.

        The accounting for the Company's defined benefit pension plan described above (the "pension plan") is governed by SFAS No. 87. This pronouncement requires that an additional minimum liability (as defined) be recorded when certain conditions are met at the balance sheet date. Since the Company's unrecognized prior service cost was nil at December 31, 2002 and 2003, such liability must be charged directly to stockholders' equity/deficit as a component of other comprehensive income or loss. Management has recently determined that the Company did not reflect such liability in the 2002 consolidated financial statements included in its December 31, 2003 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004. The accompanying December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and comprehensive loss for the year then ended have been restated to reflect an additional minimum pension liability of approximately $1,060,000. This adjustment did not affect the previously reported net loss for either of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003. The change in such liability from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003 (as reported by the independent actuary) is not material; accordingly, no adjustment of the Company's previously issued 2003 consolidated financial statements has been reflected.

        The Company has also revised certain disclosures in the above tables relating to (a) the funded status of the pension plan and (b) the December 31, 2003 fair value of the pension plan's assets. The differences principally resulted from the combination of a mathematical error and misapplication of certain financial-statement disclosure requirements. Since the related amounts were properly reported in the previously issued financial statements, the amended disclosures described in this paragraph did not effect the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        The components of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 relate primarily to the recording of non-deductible identifiable intangible assets from the acquisition of Legacy Artemis by

F-27



Proha in August 2000 and the contribution of businesses to Legacy Artemis by Proha in December 2000.

        Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were less than $0.1 million for each year. The Company has a U.S. federal tax net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") of approximately $23 million at December 31, 2003 that begins expiring in 2009 and U.S. state NOL's with expiration dates ranging from five to 20 years. Foreign NOL's that may be allowed under the tax laws in applicable foreign countries are not significant.

        The utilization of some or all of the domestic NOL's may be severely restricted now or in the future by the change in ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, utilization of the Company's California NOLs for years beginning in 2002 and 2003 has been suspended under state law.

Note 11: Segment and Geographic Information

Note 12. Other Related Party Transactions

        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no other receivables due from Proha and in 2001 had $0.2 million due from Proha, which owns approximately 80% of the Company's outstanding common stock. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had other payables to Proha of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

        On March 1, 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy ("Artemis Finland"), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan becomes due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan is secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in all of Artemis Finland's assets. Artemis and Proha have executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agreed to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution to give the Company a minimum of 90 days to provide additional collateral, if necessary, or repay the loan.

        There are several related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

        During 2002, Artemis Finland incurred $309,000 in fees for certain business consulting, legal and accounting services provided by Proha. In 2001, Artemis Finland incurred a general management fee of $395,000 for management services provided by Proha.

        Additionally, Artemis Finland shares office space with Proha, for which Proha charges Artemis Finland a share of its office-related costs ("Office Allocation Charge"), such as rent, utilities, telecommunication costs, office maintenance and certain other business costs. The Office Allocation Charge was $341,000, $290,000 and $167,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        In September 2000, Artemis International France Sarl ("Artemis France") entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Agreement") with the Canadian company Changepoint Corporation ("Changepoint") and established the joint venture, Changepoint France Sarl ("Changepoint France"). Artemis France and Changepoint own 40% and 60% of Changepoint France, respectively. The Agreement provides for a put and call option for Artemis France to sell and Changepoint to purchase the 40% interest held by Artemis France under certain conditions. Management is considering exercising the put option to sell the Company's 40% interest in Changepoint France to Changepoint for an amount equal to its investment in Changepoint France. As of December 31, 2003 the total investment, including advances due to Artemis France is approximately $1.7 million. The above December 31, 2003 table excludes the Company's advances to Changepoint France.

        The Company has restated its comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 to reduce it by approximately $357,000 in order to correct the foreign currency translation adjustment relating to its investment in Changepoint France. Such adjustment did not affect the previously reported net loss for any year presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 13. Concentration of Credit Risk

        During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, one client, Lockheed Martin Corporation, accounted for approximately $5.7 million (about 10%), $12.3 million (about 18%) and

F-32



$8.1 million (about 12%), respectively, of consolidated revenue. Substantially all of this revenue was generated in the United States.

Note 14. Stockholders' Equity

        Proha contributed various subsidiaries, valued at $0.4 million to Legacy Artemis on January 3, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Proha cancelled shares it had issued to Legacy Artemis, resulting in a decrease of approximately $2.8 million in additional paid in capital.

        On July 31, 2001, the date Opus360 was acquired by Legacy Artemis, Opus360 had approximately 2 million shares of common stock outstanding. Stockholders' equity has been retroactively restated to reflect the shares issued by Opus360 in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement (See Note 1). The retroactively restated shares reflect the combined amount of shares issued to Proha in connection with both the first tranche of approximately 3.0 million shares and the second tranche of approximately 5 million shares totaling approximately 8.0 million shares. The shares newly issued by Opus360 were valued at approximately $8.0 million and represented the purchase price.

        The Company's aggregate common shares outstanding on a retroactively restated basis at December 31, 2003 of approximately 10 million includes the historical Opus360 2.0 million shares and the additional Opus360 shares issued in connection with the acquisition. (See Notes 1 and 2.)

        During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company recovered certain notes and accounts receivable, carried at approximately $0.6 million, which had been written off prior to the Company's reverse merger transaction. Since the recovered amounts had not been included in the calculation of net assets in conjunction with the original accounting for the merger, the recoveries were recorded as adjustments to the Company's additional paid in capital.

        During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company entered into a Security Agreement, Secured Convertible Note, Registration Rights Agreement and Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with Laurus; see Note 19. These warrants resulted in an increase in additional paid in capital of $0.2 million.

Note 15. Stock Options and Warrants:

Stock Options

        The Company has granted options to purchase the Company's restricted common stock under various plans to employees and directors. All stock option plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to option, and the vesting period. Options generally vest over terms of three to five years and have a maximum life of ten years.

        The stock option plans adopted by Opus360 prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Transactions, and the related stock options continue in full force and effect. Even though Legacy Artemis is the acquiror for accounting purposes in the Share Exchange Transactions, Opus360 as a

F-33



legal entity survived the consummation of such transaction. Options granted under Opus 360 plans are redeemable in the common stock of Artemis. The following description of the Company's stock option plans reflects the stock option plans of Opus 360 and Legacy Artemis prior to the merger, and the status of the following plans after July 31, 2001.

Warrants

        There were 127,588 warrants to purchase Company common stock outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2003. Of those, 125,000 warrants, with exercise prices of $3.41, $4.10, and $4.78 per share, respectively were issued to Laurus (see Note 19). The warrant permits Laurus to purchase up to 50,000, 50,000, and 25,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock for the respecting exercise prices stated above. The warrant exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the warrant are subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, combinations and dividends. The term of the warrants is ten years. The exercise prices of the remaining warrants range from $20.75 to $46.25 and they expire in 2004 through 2006.

Note 16. Contingencies/Litigation

        As previously reported, on April 6, 2001, a putative class action lawsuit captioned Charles Bland vs. Opus360 Corporation, et al., 01 Civ. 2938, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Court"). Ten similar putative class actions also were filed in the Court. By Order dated August 10, 2001, the Court consolidated all eleven actions, and on September 24, 2001, the plaintiff served a consolidated amended class action complaint (the "Amended Complaint"). The Amended Complaint was brought on behalf of all persons who acquired securities of the Company between April 7, 2000, and March 20, 2001. Named as defendants in the Amended Complaint were the Company, ten current and former officers and directors of the Company, the underwriters of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and two shareholders who sold stock in a secondary offering concurrent with the IPO. The Amended Complaint alleged that, among other things,

F-35



the plaintiff and members of the proposed class were damaged when they acquired securities of the Company because false and misleading information and material omissions in the registration statement relating to the IPO and the secondary offering caused the price of the Company's securities to be artificially inflated. The Amended Complaint asserted violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. Damages in unspecified amounts and certain rescission rights were sought.

        In October 2001, the Company and all other defendants filed motions to dismiss the Amended Complaint. By Opinion and Order dated October 2, 2002, the Court granted all of the motions and dismissed the Amended Complaint, but granted plaintiffs leave to serve a second consolidated amended class action complaint (the "Second Amended Complaint"). On October 30, 2002, plaintiffs served their Second Amended Complaint, which contained allegations similar to those in the Amended Complaint. The defendants, including the Company, moved to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on December 31, 2002. Before the motion was heard, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle all claims asserted and any claims that could have been asserted in this litigation.

        On June 18, 2003 the Company announced that it had signed an agreement for the settlement and release of all claims against Artemis and those certain officers and directors and the underwriters in the Second Amended Complaint. The Court approved the settlement on October 10, 2003. The settlement became final on November 12, 2003. The Company's insurer covered substantially all of the $550,000 in total settlement costs. The settlement should in no event be construed or deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession on the part of the Company or any individually named defendant officer and director with respect to any claim of any fault or liability or wrongdoing or damage whatsoever.

Note 17. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

        The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly consolidated financial data for each of the eight quarters in the two-year period ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of the Company's management, this unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements contained herein and includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

Note 18. Report on Audit of the Company's December 31, 2001 Financial Statements

        On January 28, 2003, the Company dismissed its independent accountants, KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), and engaged the services of Squar Milner Reehl & Williamson LLP ("Squar Milner") as the Company's new independent accountants for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the dismissal of KPMG and the appointment of Squar Milner. The dismissal was not due to a difference of opinion with respect to any accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, audit scope or audit procedure. Rather, KPMG was dismissed because fees charged to the Company were considered excessive and the level of service provided to the Company was considered unsatisfactory.

        KPMG subsequently informed management that it would not authorize the Company to include KPMG's audit report on the Company's 2001 financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for 2002. In response, management labeled all 2001 financial statements and related data included in its December 31, 2002 Form 10-K as "unaudited." In addition, management engaged Squar Milner to"re-audit" the Company's December 31, 2001 consolidated financial statements. While the re-audit by Squar Milner of the Company's December 31, 2001 consolidated financial statements is now complete, the Company has decided not to file an amendment to its December 31, 2002 Form 10-K as previously disclosed, which would require obtaining the consents of certain predecessor auditors to re-issue their audit reports on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company has not obtained such consents, and instead has included all relevant 2001 financial information in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Publishing this information in such report allows the Company both to file expeditiously and make public the most current financial information, and to maximize the Company's limited staffing and financial resources.

Note 19. Long-Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility

        In June 2003, the Company paid off its Note Payable and Line of Credit held with Foothill and declined the option to extend the underlying Loan and Security Agreement with Foothill.

        On June 30, 2003, the Company obtained a bridge loan of $3.5 million from Proha, accruing interest at 4.75% per annum, which was fully repaid by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

        On August 14, 2003, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, Secured Convertible Note, Registration Rights Agreement and Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with Laurus. Such agreements were filed with the SEC under cover of Form 8-K dated August 15, 2003. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company received a $5.0 million revolving credit facility in the form of a three-year Convertible Note secured by a security interest in all of the Company's property and assets located in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), except for intellectual property rights. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are based on the balance of eligible trade accounts receivable reported by

F-37


the Company's operating entities in the US and the UK. Advances on the Convertible Note may be repaid at the Company's option, in cash or through the issuance of the Company's shares of restricted common stock. For the first six months, the Convertible Note will bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined) plus three quarters of a percent, or (ii) 5% per annum. Thereafter, the interest rate will be the Prime Rate less zero to 1,250 basis points depending on the average fair market value (as defined) of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Company is required to pay a collateral management payment of 0.075% of the average aggregate outstanding balance during the month plus an unused line payment of 0.40% per annum. The Laurus credit facility automatically renews every three years unless cancelled by the Company or Laurus. An early termination fee of up to $100,000 will be payable if the facility is terminated prior to August 13, 2006. The facility also provides the Company the flexibility to access additional funds above what is available based upon eligible trade accounts receivable ("Overadvances"). Overadvances accrue interest at a rate of 0.25% per month. At December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility was $3.5 million, of which approximately $2.1 million is considered Overadvances. The net proceeds were used to repay a bridge loan provided by Proha and for general working capital needs.

        On August 20, 2003 and September 29, 2003, the Company received waiver letters from Laurus extending the Overadvance through November 28, 2003, in exchange for $63,000 in cash. On December 2, 2003, the Company agreed with Laurus to further extend the Overadvances through February 28, 2004, in exchange for amending the Secured Convertible Note as described further below. The Company has not repaid the Overadvances on the due date and is currently in discussion with Laurus to further extend such Overadvances.

        Under the original agreements, Laurus has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into shares of the Company's restricted common stock at a conversion price of $2.73 per share (the Fixed Conversion Price). The Fixed Conversion Price may only be adjusted upwards and upon certain conditions. Conversion rights limit Laurus' beneficial ownership in the Company to 2.5%. If the Company's common stock trades on a principal market at a price greater than $3.14 or 115% of the Fixed Conversion Price for at least eleven consecutive trading days, the Company has the option to require conversion of all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount and/or accrued interest and fees due at the Fixed Conversion Price. This right is subject to certain trading volume limitations and the 2.5% beneficial ownership limitation noted above. The Fixed Conversion Price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, combinations and dividends.

        On December 2, 2003, the Company amended the Secured Convertible Note ("Amendment No.1") in exchange for extending the time to repay the Overadvances through February 28, 2004. Under Amendment No.1 the Company waived the Fixed Conversion Price at which Laurus can convert the debt to receive the first 190,000 shares of common stock, setting the conversion price to $1.45 per share and resetting the fixed conversion price for conversion thereafter to $1.81 per share.

        Also under the original agreements, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC by September 15, 2003 to register the Company's restricted common stock, which may be issued as described herein. The Company is currently seeking a waiver from Laurus to extend such filing date, and may incur liquidated damages (maximum: 2% of the original principal amount of $5 million for each thirty-day period beyond the contractual deadline) as a result of the delinquent filing of such registration statement. Because of this technical default, the Company has reported its entire $3.5 million indebtedness to Laurus as a current liability at December 31, 2003. If and when an appropriate waiver is received from Laurus, such liability will be re-classified as long-term; the contractual due date is August 2006.

        In conjunction with the original transaction, Laurus was paid a fee of $175,000 and received a ten-year transferable warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. The estimated fair value of the warrant of approximately $237,000 has been treated as additional

F-38



interest expense and is being amortized over the three-year life of the revolving credit facility, unless sooner terminated. The fair value of the warrant was estimated based on the following assumptions: expected volatility: 272%; dividends: zero; risk free interest rate: 2.6%; and expected life of the warrant: 5 years. The warrant permits Laurus to purchase up to 50,000, 50,000, and 25,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock at exercise prices of $3.41, $4.10, and $4.78 per share, respectively. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares underlying the warrant are subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, combinations and dividends. Loan proceeds have been allocated to the Laurus warrant using the relative fair value method of APB No. 14.

        On March 1, 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy ("Artemis Finland"), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan becomes due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan is secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and security interest in substantially all of Artemis Finland's assets. Artemis and Proha have executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agrees to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution to give the Company a minimum of 90 days to provide additional collateral, if necessary, or repay the loan.

Note 20. Event Subsequent to the March 2, 2004 Date of the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)

        On June 16, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock to certain accredited investors (the "Series A Holders"), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of restricted common stock.

        In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of restricted common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share that vest and became exercisable on the issuance date and (ii) 210-day warrants (the "Additional Warrants") (a) that are exercisable only in the event that, the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of restricted common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price. The number of issuable shares will be determined by the "Six Month Price" which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the common stock of the Company for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date. The maximum number of shares issuable for the Additional Warrants is approximately 1,058,000 shares.

        Proceeds from the financing will be used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt, and (iii) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. $2,157,630 of the proceeds were transferred on behalf of Artemis directly to Laurus to pay off the over-advance portion due to Laurus under the line-of-credit. In addition, $2,342,370 of proceeds were placed into escrow for a thirty-day period subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

        The Series A Holders (i) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, (ii) have certain voting consents and (iii) so long as at least twenty-five percent of the shares of preferred stock are outstanding, have the right to elect one member of the board of directors of the Company.

        The Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC by July 16, 2004 to register the restricted common stock, which may be issued as described above.

ARTEMIS INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(all tabular amounts in thousands except share amounts)

Note 1. Organization

        Artemis International Solutions Corporation, including its subsidiaries ("Artemis", or the "Company"), is one of the world's leading providers of investment planning and control software and services. Since 1976 the Company has been helping organizations improve their performance through portfolio, project and resource management.

        Customers use the Company's software and services in such key areas as (i) IT management and governance, (ii) developing new products such as pharmaceuticals, (iii) helping governmental agencies promote business efficiency through better alignment and allocation of resources, (iv) maintaining nuclear power stations and (v) managing the Joint Strike Fighter program for the US government. The Company has an international distribution network in over 44 countries.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Considerations

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Artemis, which include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related footnote information are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 2004 (the "Annual Report"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Equity investments in which Artemis owns at least 20% of the voting securities, or exercises significant influence over, (either individually or in concert with Proha) are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company owns less than 20% and is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

        The Company's independent public accountants have included a "going concern" explanatory paragraph in their audit report on the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. At June 30, 2004, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $0.2 million and the Company reported a cash balance of $9.3 million. Operating cash flow was negative $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company has taken a number of actions to improve its financial strength and cash availability. On June 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of convertible preferred stock (see Note 13) significantly strengthening the Company's financial position. Proceeds from the financing will be used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet.

        Prior to the private placement, the Company entered into a $5.0 million asset-based lending facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd ("Laurus") in August 2003 (see Note 9) to increase the Company's financial flexibility. In addition to the aforementioned facility, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Finland, Artemis Finland Oy ("Artemis Finland"), entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million to cover its short-term cash needs. The Company also has other lending facilities available to certain of its subsidiaries, such as in Japan and France.

        In addition to the lending facilities available to the Company, management has taken other steps to reduce and defer discretionary spending to more closely match expenses with actual and projected revenues. In late 2002, the Company decided to start divesting certain non-core investments and

F-43



operations to focus on its core expertise in enterprise portfolio and project management. This resulted in the sale of its 19.9% interest in Accountor Oy (Finland), ABC Technologies Sarl (France) and its Software Productivity Research operations (US) in November 2002, December 2002 and October 2003, respectively. During 2003, the Company also initiated discretionary restructuring activities that included workforce reductions and other cost reductions to respond to the weakening of certain of the Company's markets, increased operating losses and negative cash flow from operations. Because some of the Company's key operating metrics did not improve in late 2003, the Company adopted a nondiscretionary restructuring plan (see Note 11) that was implemented and communicated to the employees affected by the related workforce reductions during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

        These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which, except as described elsewhere herein, consisted only of normal recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenue recognition, and the recoverability of intangible assets that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3. Stock-Based Employee Compensation

        The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the statements of operations as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, provides alternative methods for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation as described in SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This standard also requires additional disclosure related to stock-based employee compensation in annual and interim financial reporting. This standard is generally effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002 and did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements except for the tabular disclosure presented below.

F-44



        The following table illustrates the effect on loss and loss per common share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for all of its stock-based employee compensation plans.

        Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the board of directors granted 885,000 options to executive management and other key employees to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.35 per share (the market value on the date of grant). The vesting of 515,000 of these options is tied to future performance criteria that have not been finalized as of the date of this report. Accordingly, pro forma compensation expense related to these option grants has not been included in the table above.

        For disclosure purposes only, the fair-value of all stock options granted to employees is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility 202%, risk-free interest rate 4.5%, expected life 5 years, no dividends.

Note 4. Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities, or "VIEs"), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (a) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (b) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are not small business issuers are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities: the first period ended after December 15, 2003; and (b) For all other types of VIEs: the first period ended after March 15, 2004. Management has determined that the Company does not have any VIEs, and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after

F-45



June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 150-03 ("FSP 150-3"), which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No. 150 for all mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150's measurement guidance for other types of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

        In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement ("SFAS No. 132-R") expands employers' disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88. or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. The defined benefit pension plan of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary is the Company's only defined benefit post-retirement plan. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2005. The Company is presently evaluating the effect of SFAS No. 132-R on its annual and interim-period financial statement disclosures.

        Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 5. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

        The Company calculates earnings or loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Accordingly, basic loss per common share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

        Comprehensive loss consists of net income or loss, adjusted for other increases or decreases affecting stockholders' equity / deficit that are excluded in the determination of net income or loss. The Company has restated its comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 consistent with the restatement of certain calendar 2003 consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report. The restatement was made to correct the foreign currency translation adjustment related the Company's investment in Changepoint France. Such adjustment did not affect the Company's previously reported net loss for any of the quarters in 2003. The calculation of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

        Identifiable assets are also assigned by region based upon management responsibility. There have been no material changes in identifiable assets by reportable segment since the latest annual report filed with the SEC.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company is a party to a number of legal claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of these claims will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

F-49



Note 9. Long-Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility

        On August 14, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus and received a $5.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Laurus facility") in the form of a three-year Convertible Note secured by a security interest in all of the Company's property and assets located in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), except for intellectual property rights. Borrowings under the Laurus Facility are based on the balance of eligible trade accounts receivable reported by the Company's operating entities in the US and the UK. The Laurus Facility automatically renews every three years unless cancelled by the Company or Laurus.

        The Company used $2.2 million of the net proceeds of a $9.0 million private placement of convertible preferred stock completed on June 16, 2004 (see Note 13), to reduce the amount outstanding under the Laurus Facility. At June 30, 2004, the outstanding balance under the Laurus Facility was $1.3 million, of which $0.5 million represents past due over-advances. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company restructured and amended the Laurus Facility as described further below, whereby the amount outstanding was increased to $1.5 million of which no portion is considered an over-advance.

        On August 20, 2003 and September 29, 2003, the Company received waiver letters from Laurus extending the due date of the over-advances through November 28, 2003, in exchange for $63,000 in cash. On December 2, 2003, the Company agreed with Laurus to further extend the over-advances through February 28, 2004, in exchange for amending the Secured Convertible Note.

        On July 30, 2004, the Company and Laurus agreed to restructure and amend the revolving credit facility and replaced the Secured Convertible Note of up to $5.0 million with a Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note (the "Minimum Borrowing Note") in the amount of $1.5 million and a Secured Revolving Note of up to $3.5 million (the "Laurus Restructuring"). The Minimum Borrowing Note is due on August 26, 2006 and is convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at the following prices: 190,000 shares at $1.45 per share, 190,000 shares at $1.81 per share, and 342,646 shares at $2.57 per share. Thereafter, the conversion price adjusts to 105% of the average closing market price of the Company's common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding each additional borrowing (in serialized $1.5 million increments) under the Minimum Borrowing Note. Loans exceeding $1.5 million may be available to the Company, based on a formula set forth in the original Minimum Borrowing Note. All of the aforementioned conversion prices are subject to downward adjustment under certain conditions. Under the terms of the related agreement, absent an event of default as defined, conversion of the Minimum Borrowing Note into the Company's common stock may not result in beneficial ownership by Laurus (including shares issuable because of outstanding warrants that are exercisable within sixty days of any determination date) of more than 2.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Minimum Borrowing Note has a 30% prepayment penalty. Any loans under the Secured Revolving Note are convertible only in an event of default. The Company had no loans outstanding under the Secured Revolving Note as of the date of this report.

        Absent an event of default as defined, the post-February 15, 2004 interest rate on both of the July 2004 amended Laurus notes described above is (except as explained in this paragraph) the greater of the Wall-Street-Journal prime rate plus 0.75% (the "adjustable interest rate") or 5%. After the Company's July 19, 2004 registration statement is declared effective by the SEC (see below), the adjustable interest rate may be periodically reduced based on certain defined differences between the average market price of the Company's common stock and the conversion prices set forth above, provided that such market price is at least 130% of the applicable conversion price. The maximum contractual adjustment would reduce the discounted interest rate to the prime rate minus 1.25%.

F-50


        Under the original agreements, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC by September 15, 2003 to register the Company's common stock underlying the Laurus facility. The Company was delinquent in filing such registration statement and was subject to potential liquidated damages as a result of this delinquency. As part of the Laurus Restructuring, the Company received a waiver from Laurus with respect to their rights and remedies for the failure to file the registration statement timely. In consideration for such waiver, the Company has agreed to pay a penalty of $75,000. The Company has further agreed with Laurus to reset the filing date to August 29, 2004. The Company intends to amend its registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on July 19, 2004 to include the common stock underlying the Laurus Restructuring, and does not expect any further delays in such filing.

        The indebtedness to Laurus at June 30, 2004 is reported as a current liability because of the filing delinquency and past due over-advances described above. The Company will reclassify the indebteness to Laurus to long-term debt as a result of the Laurus Restructuring.

        On March 1, 2004, Artemis Finland, entered into a loan agreement with a financial institution in the amount of approximately $3.1 million. The loan becomes due on March 1, 2006 and accrues interest at 0.5 percentage points above the 3-month Euribor rate per annum, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The loan is secured by cash collateral provided by Proha equal to the loan amount and a security interest in substantially all of Artemis Finland's assets. Artemis and Proha have executed a letter of commitment, whereby Proha agrees to provide the Company sufficient advance notice of its intent to demand the return of its collateral from the financial institution to give the Company a minimum of ninety days to provide additional collateral, if necessary, or repay the loan. The Company is currently considering the issuance of $2.0 million of additional common stock to Proha at a purchase price of $2.20 per share, in connection with a possible pay-down of the loan.

Note 10. Benefit Plans

        The Company has a defined contribution plan ("the Plan") which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan covers all U.S. employees, who may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation. Employer contributions vest to the participants incrementally over a period of five years. Company contributions to the Plan were zero during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

        The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan covering the employees of its UK subsidiary. Company contributions are determined based upon a percentage, as determined by an actuary, of an eligible employee's annual salary. Company contributions to the defined benefit pension plan during the year ended December 31, 2003 were $0.2 million. The projected contribution for the year ending December 31, 2004 is $0.3 million. There were no significant 2004 changes in the key assumptions used in determining the projected contributions compared to those used for 2003.

        Net defined benefit pension cost included the following components:

 
  Calendar
 
 
  Projected
2004

  2003
 
Service cost (benefits earned during the period)   $ 271   $ 191  
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation     518     388  
Expected return on plan assets     (469 )   (311 )
Amortization of unrecognized actuarial net loss     141     117

Note 11. Restructuring Costs

        In response to a decline in certain key operating metrics, such as total revenue, operating margin and revenue per employee the Company adopted a non-discretionary restructuring plan that resulted in a workforce reduction and other cost reductions (collectively, the "Restructuring") intended to strengthen the Company's competitive position and future operating performance. The Company has implemented and substantially completed the Restructuring during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company's total charge related to this Restructuring is approximately $1.4 million, of which approximately $0.1 million was recognized as an expense in the second quarter of 2004 and is reported in the Condensed Statement of Operations as "Restructuring Charge".

        The Restructuring charge recognized in the first six months of 2004 is comprised primarily of: (i) severance pay (including related payroll taxes) and associated one-time employee termination costs related to the reduction of the Company's workforce; (ii) relocation costs resulting from organizational realignments; and (iii) professional fees incurred to improve the competitive position of the Company. The Company accounts for the costs associated with exiting an activity, including costs associated with the reduction of the Company's workforce, in accordance with SFAS 146. The following table summarizes the Company's Restructuring-related expenses incurred during the first six months of 2004:

 
  Three Months Ended
March 31, 2004

  Three Months Ended
June 30, 2004

  Six Months Ended
June 30, 2004

Employee Termination Costs   $ 1,001   $ 96   $ 1,097
Employee Relocation Costs     47         47
Facilities Cost     31     22     53
Professional Fees     168     30     198
   
 
 
Total   $ 1,247   $ 148   $ 1,395
   
 
 

        As part of the Restructuring, the Company has reduced its workforce by a total of forty-one employees, from 396 to 355 (which includes voluntary resignations) or approximately 10% of its workforce. The Restructuring charge has affected corporate positions and certain operational positions in the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Japan segments in the approximate amounts of $0.8 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. This follows a similar reduction (8% of the workforce) in the last quarter of 2003, whereby these reductions were based on discretionary restructuring actions. Approximately $ 0.4 million of the total restructuring change is included in current liabilities in the accompanying June 30, 2004 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

        GAAP prohibits the recognition of an exit-activity liability until (a) certain criteria (which demonstrate that it is reasonably probable that a present obligation to others has been created) are met, and (b) the fair value of such liability can be reasonably estimated. The costs associated with pre-2004 workforce reductions and related activities that did not meet the definition of a "liability" (in the opinion of management) were recorded and expensed in their natural classifications as incurred; as a result, these expenses were not reported separately as exit-activity or restructuring charges in the Company's statements of operations.

Note 12. Other Related Party Transactions

        The Company's Finnish subsidiary shares office space with Proha. Rent and utilities are allocated between Proha and Artemis-Finland based on headcount.

F-52


        There are several related party agreements in place between Artemis Finland and Proha or its subsidiaries and investees as further described below:

        At June 30, 2004, the Company maintained equity holdings in certain joint ventures with distributors of the Company's products, which are accounted for under the equity method, with the exception of Metier Scandinavia AS (Norway), Metier Plancom BV(Netherlands) and DA Management Solutions(Finland) which are accounted for under the cost method. The Company records its equity interest in net losses first to the investment balance, then against loans or advances.

        In September 2000, Artemis International France Sarl ("Artemis France") entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Agreement") with the Canadian company, Changepoint Corporation ("Changepoint") and established the joint venture, Changepoint France Sarl ("Changepoint France"). Artemis France and Changepoint own 40% and 60% of Changepoint France, respectively. The Agreement provides for a put and call option for Artemis France to sell and Changepoint to purchase the 40% interest held by Artemis France under certain conditions. The Company has informed Changepoint of its intent to exercise its put option to sell its 40% interest in Changepoint France to Changepoint. In May 2004, Compuware Corporation acquired privately held Changepoint.

F-53


Note 13. Stockholders' Equity

        On June 16, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed a private placement of $9.0 million of unregistered convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Series A Financing"). In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,090,909 shares of convertible preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") to certain accredited investors (the "Series A Holders"), priced at $2.20 per share, each of which is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock.

        In addition, the Company issued to the Series A Holders (i) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share (the "Initial Warrants") and (ii) 210-day warrants (the "Additional Warrants") (a) that are exercisable only in the event that the Six Month Price (as defined below) is less than $2.20 and (b) to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock at $.01 per share based upon the Six Month Price. The number of issuable shares will be determined by the "Six Month Price" which is defined as the greater of $1.75 or the lowest average closing price of the Company's common stock for any 15 consecutive day period during the six-month period immediately following the Closing Date. The Initial Warrants vested and became fully exercisable on the issuance date. The maximum number of shares issuable for the Additional Warrants is approximately 1,058,000 shares.

        Proceeds from the Preferred Series A Financing were $8.8 million, net of issuance costs of $0.2 million, and will be used for (i) working capital, (ii) the repayment of debt and (iii) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. $2.2 million of the net proceeds were transferred on behalf of Artemis directly to Laurus to pay certain over-advances due at the Closing Date. (See Note 9 for more information on the Laurus facility). In addition, approximately $2.3 million of the proceeds were placed into escrow for a thirty-day period subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in an escrow agreement with the Series A Holders. As of the date of this filing, the funds remain in escrow; however, as part of the Laurus Restructuring (see Note 9), the Company expects to receive the funds held in escrow.

        With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Holders maintain certain powers, preferences and rights that are senior to the holders of the Company's common stock. The Series A Holders (i) are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which holders of common stock are entitled to vote, (ii) have certain voting consents, (iii) so long as at least twenty-five percent of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, have the right to elect one member of the board of directors of the Company, and (iv) so long as at least thirty percent of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company cannot redeem or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its common stock without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

        The exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments in connection with mergers, acquisitions, stock splits, dividends and the like. The Series A Holders may pay the exercise price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise of the warrants by paying cash equal to the number of shares to be purchased times the appropriate exercise price per share, or, if the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price to be paid per share, the Series A Holders may, at their option, exchange the right to purchase all or part of the maximum shares underlying the warrants for that number of shares equal in value to the amount by which the closing price of a share of our common stock preceding the exercise date exceeds the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased at that exercise price.

        The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on July 19, 2004 to register the common stock which may be issued as described above. Such registration statement is not yet effective; see Note 9.
