MatrixOne Announces Update on Financial Review and Restatement; Company Also Provides FY 2005 Financial Update and Sets Expected Date for Release of FY 2006 Q1 Results

MatrixOne, Inc. issued an update on the Company's previously announced financial review and restatements, the current estimated range of the related restatements, and the projected date for the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2005 ("Form 10-Q") and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005 ("Form 10-K") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial review is substantially complete and, as described below, the restatement primarily affects the timing of revenue recognition. As a result of the restatement, the Company expects that approximately $1.0 million of previously recognized revenues will be reversed and not recognized in a future period. The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q and Form 10-K on or before the date of the additional extension granted to the Company by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel of November 8, 2005. The Company also provided a financial update for fiscal 2005 and announced the expected date for the release of its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Update as to the Company's Previously Announced Financial Review

The financial review conducted under the direction of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors is substantially complete. As previously disclosed in a press release issued by the Company on April 26, 2005, the Company commenced the review as a result of the discovered failure by certain managers and employees of the Company's Japanese subsidiary to comply with the Company's revenue recognition policies and the failure by those managers and employees and certain of the Company's Japanese distributors to provide accurate information to the Company concerning arrangements included as revenue in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, management and the Audit Committee concluded that these errors in revenue recognition required the Company to restate its previously reported financial results. The restatement affects previously reported financial results from fiscal 1999 through the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The revenue adjustments to be made in the restatement relate to errors in revenue recognition principally at the Company's Japanese subsidiary and will result in a change in the timing of the recognition of revenue previously paid for and recognized. The Company will also make adjustments due to: the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions in Europe; and the timing of revenue recognition related to commitments to provide future software functionality in several customer arrangements. The Company will also make adjustments to the timing of the recognition of certain expenses associated with the revenue being adjusted. Additionally, as previously disclosed, the Company will make adjustments to certain other asset and liability accounts. Expenses to date related to the financial review, audit and restatement have totaled approximately $5.9 million. The Company expects that approximately $4.9 million of expenses related to the financial review, audit and restatement will be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and that approximately $1.0 million of expenses related to the financial review and restatement will be recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Current Estimated Range of Related Restatement

The restatement affects previously reported financial results from fiscal 1999 through the second quarter of fiscal 2005. At this time, the Company's financial statement close process and audit of the restatement are not complete and the estimates provided are subject to change. This link http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/nsd/mone/pdfs/10_18_05.pdf sets forth the current estimated impact of the restatement on the Company's previously reported financial results for fiscal 2003 through the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The restatement is estimated to increase the Company's accumulated deficit as of June 29, 2002 by approximately $4.1 million.

The Company expects to complete the filing of its Form 10-Q and Form 10-K on or before November 8, 2005. As part of management's report on internal controls over financial reporting, the Company will report material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, which will be further described in the Company's Form 10-K. Upon the filing of these periodic reports, the Company expects to issue a press release and host a conference call to discuss the restatement and its final results for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2005.

As previously announced by the Company, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel granted the Company an additional extension for continued listing on The Nasdaq National Market until November 8, 2005 to complete the filing of its Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. Upon the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2005 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005, the Company expects to be in compliance with Nasdaq's requirements for continued listing. The fifth character "E" will remain appended to the Company's symbol pending a final determination that the Company is fully compliant with Nasdaq's filing requirements. The Company anticipates filing as soon as practicable, amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2005 for the purpose of restating its condensed consolidated financial statements for the first two quarters of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004.
