See accompanying notes. 5 6 FORRESTER RESEARCH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 -- Interim Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Forrester Research, Inc. (the "Company") as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 1996 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997, or any other period. Note 2 -- Pro Forma Income Tax Adjustment and Pro Forma Net Income The Company was an S corporation under section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, until prior to the closing of its initial public offering. As an S corporation, the taxable income of the Company was passed through to the sole stockholder and was reported on his individual federal and state income tax returns. The Company is now taxed as a C corporation and accordingly is subject to federal and state income taxes at prevailing corporate rates. The statements of income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 include a pro forma income tax adjustment to reflect an estimate of the income taxes that would have been recorded if the Company had been a C corporation for that period. The Company has calculated this amount based on the statutory tax rate for 1996. Note 3 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncement In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This statement established standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly traded common stock or potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and early adoption is not permitted. When adopted, the statement will require restatement of prior years' earnings per share. The Company will adopt this statement for its quarter and year ending December 31, 1997. Assuming that SFAS No. 128 had been implemented, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share would not have materially differed from the net income per share disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 6 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "estimates," or similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the Company's current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results include, among others, the need to attract and retain professional staff, the Company's ability to manage growth, possible variations in the Company's quarterly operating results, the Company's dependence on renewals of its membership-based research services, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with the Company's ability to anticipate market trends and offer new products and services, and competition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Forrester Research, Inc. ("Forrester" or the "Company") is a leading independent research firm offering products and services that help its clients assess the effect of technology on their businesses. The Company provides analysis and insight into a broad range of technology areas such as computing, software, networking, the Internet, and telecommunications, and projects how technology trends will impact businesses, consumers, and society. Forrester's clients, which include senior management, business strategists, and information technology ("IT") and marketing professionals within large enterprises, use Forrester's prescriptive research to understand and benefit from current developments in technology and as support for their development and implementation decisions. Memberships to Forrester's Strategy Research Services are renewable contracts, typically annual and payable in advance. Accordingly, a substantial portion of the Company's billings are initially recorded as deferred revenue and recognized pro rata on a monthly basis over the contract period. The Company's other revenues are derived from advisory services rendered pursuant to Forrester's Partners Program and Strategy Review Program and from Forrester Forums ("Forums"). The Company's advisory service clients purchase such services in conjunction with the purchase of core research memberships to Strategy Research Services, and the contracts for such purchases are also generally payable in advance. Billings attributable to advisory services are initially recorded as deferred revenues and recognized as revenue when performed. Similarly, Forum billings are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized upon completion of each event. The Company's operating expenses consist of cost of services and fulfillment, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services and fulfillment represent the costs associated with production and delivery of the Company's products and services, and include the costs of salaries, bonuses, and related benefits for research personnel, and all associated editorial, travel, and support services. Selling and marketing expenses include salaries, employee benefits, travel expenses, promotional costs, sales commissions, and other costs incurred in marketing and selling the Company's products and services. General and administrative expenses include the costs of the finance, operations, and corporate IT groups, and other administrative functions of the Company. The Company believes that the "agreement value" of contracts to purchase core research and advisory services provides a significant measure of the Company's business volume. Forrester calculates agreement value as the annualized fees payable under all core research and advisory service contracts in effect at a given point in time, without regard to the remaining duration of such contracts. Agreement value increased 36% to $40.8 million at September 30, 1997 from $30.0 million at December 31, 1996. No single client company accounted for more than 3% of agreement value at September 30, 1997. The Company's experience is that a substantial portion of client companies renew expiring contracts for an equal or higher level of total core research and advisory service fees each year. Approximately 78% 7 8 of Forrester's client companies with memberships expiring during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 renewed one or more memberships for the Company's products and services. The renewal rate was 74% for 1996. The increase in retention rate is primarily due to an increased focus by the Company on renewing existing clients. This renewal rate is not necessarily indicative of the rate of future retention of the Company's revenue base. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain financial data as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:

Revenues from core research increased 67% to $8.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996. Increases in total revenues and revenues from core research were primarily attributable to an increase in the number of client companies to 982 at September 30, 1997 from 863 at September 30, 1996, sales of additional Strategy Research Services to existing clients, and the introduction of six new Strategy Research Services since January 1, 1996.

Advisory services and other revenues increased 39% to $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Cost of services and fulfillment remained constant as a percentage of total revenues at 34% in the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. These expenses increased 56% to $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The expense increase in this period was principally due to increased analyst staffing for Strategy Research Services and related compensation expense. SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 35% in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 37% in the three months ended September 30, 1996. These expenses increased 54% to $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in expenses was principally due to the addition of direct salespersons and increased sales commission expense associated with increased revenues. The decrease as a percentage of total revenues was principally due to increased productivity of the Company's sales force. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues to 12% in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 9% in the three months ended September 30, 1996. These expenses increased 109% to $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $581,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in expense was principally due to staffing increases in operations, finance, and IT, and investment in the Company's infrastructure. The increase in expense as a percentage of total revenues was primarily due to investment in the Company's infrastructure, including new financial systems. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 136% to $348,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $148,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in expense was principally due to the purchase of computer equipment, software, and office furnishings, and leasehold improvements to support business growth. INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased to $586,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $123,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996. This increase resulted from the Company's higher cash balances resulting from positive cash flows from operations and net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded a tax provision of $910,000, reflecting an effective tax rate of 40.5%. During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a pro forma tax provision of $536,000, reflecting an effective tax rate of 42.8%. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996 REVENUES.

Advisory services and other revenues increased 61% to $6.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Revenues attributable to customers outside the United States increased as a percentage of total revenues to 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

These expenses increased 59% to $9.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 37% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 38% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. These expenses increased 59% to $9.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $6.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

These expenses increased 78% to $3.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Interest income increased to $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $354,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
