"We made positive progress during 2004, strengthening our balance sheet through equity investments, increasing net deferred revenue excluding contract revenue, and reducing our expense run-rate during the course of the year," said Sanjiv Sidhu, i2 chairman and CEO.

" While operational efficiency has improved, there is still much work to do." Total fourth quarter 2004 revenue was $84 million, as compared to $111 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $98 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.
The majority of the decrease in total revenue from that reported in the third quarter is due to a decrease in the amount of deferred contract revenue recognized in the quarter.
Contract revenue is the result of recognition of certain revenue carried on i2's balance sheet as a portion of deferred revenue as a result of the company's restatement.
The timing of the recognition of deferred contract revenue is difficult to predict and is not typically associated with current business or cash collections.
Total costs and operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2004 were $85 million.
