CommVault Systems, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Unaudited
(In thousands, except per share data)
1. Nature of Business
     CommVault Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CommVault” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of data management software applications and related services in terms of product breadth and functionality and market penetration. The Company develops, markets and sells a suite of software applications and services, primarily in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia, that provides its customers with high-performance data protection; disaster recovery of data; data migration and archiving; global availability of data; replication of data; creation and management of copies of stored data; storage resource discovery and usage tracking; data classification; and management and operational reports and troubleshooting tools. The Company’s unified suite of data management software applications, which is sold under the Simpana brand, shares an underlying architecture that has been developed to minimize the cost and complexity of managing data on globally distributed and networked storage infrastructures. The Company also provides its customers with a broad range of professional and customer support services.
2. Basis of Presentation
     The financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report incorporated by reference in Form 10-K for fiscal 2007. The results reported in these financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
     Other than the adoption of the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), there have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the significant accounting policies prescribed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of its periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock-based compensation and accounting for research and development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
     The Company derives revenues from two primary sources, or elements: software licenses and services. Services include customer support, consulting, assessment and design services, installation services and training. A typical sales arrangement includes both of these elements. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations to all transactions to determine the recognition of revenue.

(In thousands, except per share data)
     For sales arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company recognizes revenue using the residual method as described in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered elements based on relative fair value and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of the undelivered elements in multiple-element arrangements is based on the price charged when such elements are sold separately, which is commonly referred to as vendor-specific objective-evidence, or VSOE.
     The Company’s software licenses typically provide for a perpetual right to use the Company’s software and are sold on a per-copy basis or as site licenses. Site licenses give the customer the additional right to deploy the software on a limited basis during a specified term. The Company recognizes software revenue through direct sales channels upon receipt of a purchase order or other persuasive evidence and when all other basic revenue recognition criteria are met as described below. The Company recognizes software revenue through all indirect sales channels on a sell-through model. A sell-through model requires that the Company recognize revenue when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met as described below and these channels complete the sale of the Company’s software products to the end user. Revenue from software licenses sold through an original equipment manufacturer partner is recognized upon the receipt of a royalty report or purchase order from that original equipment manufacturer partner.
     Services revenue includes revenue from customer support and other professional services. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support and bug fixes or patches. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year. To determine the price for the customer support element when sold separately, the Company primarily uses historical renewal rates and, in certain cases, it uses stated renewal rates. Historical renewal rates are supported by performing an analysis in which the Company segregates its customer support renewal contracts into different classes based on specific criteria including, but not limited to, the dollar amount of the software purchased, the level of customer support being provided and the distribution channel. As a result of this analysis, the Company has concluded that it has established VSOE for the different classes of customer support when the support is sold as part of a multiple-element sales arrangement.
     The Company’s other professional services include consulting, assessment and design services, installation services and training. Other professional services provided by the Company are not mandatory and can also be performed by the customer or a third party. In addition to a signed purchase order, the Company’s consulting, assessment and design services and installation services are generally evidenced by a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”), which defines the specific scope of such services to be performed when sold and performed on a stand-alone basis or included in multiple-element sales arrangements. Revenues from consulting, assessment and design services and installation services are based upon a daily or weekly rate and are recognized when the services are completed. Training includes courses taught by the Company’s instructors or third party contractors either at one of the Company’s facilities or at the customer’s site. Training fees are recognized after the training course has been provided. Based on the Company’s analysis of such other professional services transactions sold on a stand-alone basis, the Company has concluded it has established VSOE for such other professional services when sold in connection with a multiple-element sales arrangement. The Company generally performs its other professional services within 60 to 90 days of entering into an agreement. The price for other professional services has not materially changed for the periods presented.
     The Company has analyzed all of the undelivered elements included in its multiple-element sales arrangements and determined that VSOE of fair value exists to allocate revenues to services. Accordingly, assuming all basic revenue recognition criteria are met, software revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software license using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9.
     The Company considers the four basic revenue recognition criteria for each of the elements as follows:
    Persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists. The Company’s customary practice is to require a purchase order and, in some cases, a written contract signed by both the customer and the Company, a signed SOW evidencing the scope of certain other professional services, or other persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists prior to recognizing revenue on an arrangement.

    Delivery or performance has occurred. The Company’s software applications are usually physically delivered to customers with standard transfer terms such as FOB shipping point. Software and/or software license keys for add-on orders or software updates are typically delivered via email. If products that are essential to the functionality of the delivered software in an arrangement have not been delivered, the Company does not consider delivery to have occurred. Services revenue is recognized when the services are completed, except for customer support, which is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year.
 
    Vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable. The fee customers pay for software applications, customer support and other professional services is negotiated at the outset of a sales arrangement. The fees are therefore considered to be fixed or determinable at the inception of the arrangement.
 
    Collection is probable. Probability of collection is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. Each new customer undergoes a credit review process to evaluate its financial position and ability to pay. If the Company determines from the outset of an arrangement that collection is not probable based upon the review process, revenue is recognized at the earlier of when cash is collected or when sufficient credit becomes available, assuming all of the other basic revenue recognition criteria are met.
     The Company’s sales arrangements generally do not include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement does include an acceptance clause, revenue for such an arrangement is deferred and recognized upon acceptance. Acceptance occurs upon the earliest of receipt of a written customer acceptance, waiver of customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
     The Company has offered limited price protection under certain original equipment manufacturer agreements. Any right to a future refund from such price protection is entirely within the Company’s control. It is estimated that the likelihood of a future payout due to price protection is remote.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders per Share
     In the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company calculated net income attributable to common stockholders per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (“SFAS 128”) and EITF Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two — Class Method under FASB Statement 128 (“EITF No. 03-6”). In the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company calculated net income attributable to common stockholders per share in accordance with SFAS 128. The information required to compute basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per share is as follows:

Diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per share
  $ 0.07     $ 0.06  
 
           
 
(1)   Net income is reduced by the contractual amount of dividends ($1.788 per share) due on the Company’s Series A through E cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock prior to its conversion into common stock on September 27, 2006.
 
(2)   In the three months ended June 30, 2006, net income attributable to common stockholders is reduced by the participation rights of the Series AA, BB and CC convertible preferred stock related to cash dividends declared by the Company prior to its conversion into common stock on September 27, 2006 . Net income attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the Series A through E cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock because such stockholders only participated in cash dividends in excess of their contractual dividend amount of $1.788 per share, and the Company did not have the ability to distribute amounts in excess of $1.788 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Concentration of Credit Risk
     The Company grants credit to customers in a wide variety of industries worldwide and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses relating to these customers have been minimal.

     One customer accounted for approximately 22% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. That customer accounted for 23% and 14% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, another customer accounted for approximately 15% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2007.
Deferred Revenue
     Deferred revenues represent amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenues recognized. This results primarily from the billing of annual customer support agreements, as well as billings for other professional services fees that have not yet been performed by the Company and billings for license fees that are deferred due to insufficient persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists. The value of deferred revenues will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognition of software revenue. The Company expenses internal direct and incremental costs related to contract acquisition and origination as incurred.
     Deferred revenue consists of the following:
                 
    June 30, 2007     March 31, 2007  
Current:
               
Deferred software revenue
  $ 560     $ 252  
Deferred services revenue
    38,936       35,962  
 
           
 
  $ 39,496     $ 36,214  
 
           
Non-current:
               
Deferred services revenue
  $ 5,078     $ 4,284  
 
           
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
     On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, the Company’s stock-based compensation costs beginning April 1, 2006 is based on a combination of the following: (1) all options granted prior to, but not vested as of April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (2) all options and restricted stock units granted subsequent to April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R). As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $25,332 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock option and restricted stock unit awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.88 years.
     Under SFAS 123(R), the Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes formula. Expected volatility was calculated based on reported data for a peer group of publicly traded companies for which historical information was available. The Company will continue to use peer group volatility information until historical volatility of the Company is relevant to measure expected volatility for future option grants. The average expected life was determined according to the “SEC shortcut approach” as described in SAB 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated based on the Company’s historical analysis of actual stock option forfeitures.
     The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows:
         
    Three Months Ended June 30,
    2007   2006
Dividend yield
  None   None
Expected volatility
  47%   55%
Risk-free interest rates
  4.68%-5.18%   4.95%-5.04%
Expected life (in years)
  6.25   6.25

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115”, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its financial statements.
4. Term Loan
     In May 2006, the Company entered into a $20,000 term loan facility (the “term loan”) in connection with the payments due to the holders of its Series A through E Stock upon the Company’s initial public offering. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company paid $7,500 in satisfaction of the outstanding principal balance on the term loan.
5. Contingencies
     In the normal course of its business, the Company may be involved in various claims, negotiations and legal actions; however, as of June 30, 2007, the Company is not party to any litigation that is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6. Capitalization
     In June 2007, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 7,870 shares of common stock at a price of $17.00 per share. The Company sold 300 shares and certain stockholders of the Company sold 7,570 shares in this offering. As a result of its follow-on offering, the Company raised a total of $5,100 in gross proceeds, or approximately $4,315 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $281 and other offering costs of $504. As of June 30, 2007, $457 of the other offering costs was paid and $48 was accrued. In June 2007, the Company’s underwriters also exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 1,172 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by affiliates of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC at the public offering price of $17.00 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds as a result of the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option.
     In September 2006, the Company completed its initial public offering of 11,111 shares of common stock at a price of $14.50 per share. The Company sold 6,148 shares and certain stockholders of the Company sold 4,963 shares in this offering. As a result of its initial public offering, the Company raised $89,148 in gross proceeds, or approximately $80,248 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs. In conjunction with its initial public offering, the Company also sold 103 shares of common stock in a concurrent private placement at the initial public offering price pursuant to preemptive rights as a result of the initial public offering. The Company’s net proceeds from the concurrent private placement were approximately $1,488.
Common Stock
     The Company had 42,849 and 41,968 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 4,717 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by affiliates of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, representing approximately 11% of the common stock outstanding, is subject to a voting trust agreement pursuant to which the shares are voted by an independent voting trustee. Subject to specified exceptions, the voting trust agreement also requires Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its affiliates to deliver to the trustee, and make subject to the voting trust agreement, any shares of the Company’s common stock owned by it or its affiliates that would cause the aggregate shares of the Company’s common stock held by them to exceed 5% of the Company’s common stock then outstanding.
     The voting trust agreement requires that the trustee cause the shares subject to the voting trust to be represented at all stockholder meetings for purposes of determining a quorum, but the trustee is not required to vote the shares on any matter and any determination whether to vote the shares is required by the voting trust agreement to be made by the trustee without consultation with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its affiliates. If, however, the trustee votes the shares on any matter subject to a stockholder vote, including proposals involving the election of directors, changes of control and other significant corporate transactions, the shares will be voted in the same proportion as votes cast “for” or “against” those proposals by the Company’s other stockholders.
7. Stock Plans
     As of June 30, 2007, the Company maintains two stock incentive plans, the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and the 2006 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”).
     Under the Plan, the Company may grant non-qualified stock options to purchase 11,705 shares of common stock to certain officers and employees. Stock options are granted at the discretion of the Board and expire 10 years from the date of the grant. Stock options granted by the Company generally vest over a four-year period. As of June 30, 2007, there were 369 options available for future grant under the Plan.
     The LTIP permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards and stock unit awards based on, or related to, shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the LTIP, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be initially awarded was 4,000. On each April 1, the number of shares available for issuance under the LTIP is increased, if applicable, such that the total number of shares available for awards under the LTIP as of any April 1 is equal to 5% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on that April

     In the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company awarded 267 restricted stock units at a weighted average fair value of $17.00 per share. The restricted stock units vest over a four-year period.
8. Income Taxes
     The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,885 and $45 respectively, with effective tax rates of approximately 39% and approximately 1%, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, the 1% effective tax rate was primarily the result of the Company’s full valuation allowance maintained against its deferred tax assets. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amount used for income tax purposes. The Company’s net deferred tax assets relate primarily to net operating loss carry forwards, research and development tax credits, depreciation and amortization and deferred and stock-based compensation. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that the Company believes recovery is not likely, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2007, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $1,825 primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards in certain international jurisdictions as there is not sufficient evidence to enable the Company to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
     On April 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a charge of $1,100 to the April 1, 2007

accumulated deficit balance. As of the adoption date, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $6,120 all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. As of the adoption date, the Company had accrued interest expense of $255 related to the unrecognized tax benefits. In the three months ended June 30, 2007, the company recognized additional interest related to income tax of $51.
     The amount of unrecognized tax benefits (exclusive of interest) did not change as of June 30, 2007 and the Company does not anticipate any material changes within the next twelve months.
     The Company conducts business globally and as a result, files income tax returns in the United States and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, India, Singapore and Spain.
     The Company is not currently under audit in any tax jurisdiction. The tax years currently open under the statute of limitations are fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The statements in this discussion regarding our expectations of our future performance, liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21 E of the Securities Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Overview
     CommVault is a leading provider of data management software applications and related services in terms of product breadth and functionality and market penetration. We develop, market and sell a unified suite of data management software applications under the Simpana brand. Our unified data management suite was formerly marketed under the QiNetix brand name. Simpana is specifically designed to protect and manage data throughout its lifecycle in less time, at lower cost and with fewer resources than alternative solutions. Our products and capabilities enable our customers to deploy solutions for data protection, business continuance, corporate compliance and centralized management and reporting. We also provide our customers with a broad range of highly effective services that are delivered by our worldwide support and field operations.
     Our software suite includes the following eight applications which is built upon our unified architectural design: QiNetix Galaxy Backup and Recovery (released in 2000), QiNetix DataMigrator (released in 2002), QiNetix QuickRecovery (released in 2002), QiNetix DataArchiver (released in 2003), QiNetix StorageManager (released in 2003), QiNetix QNet (released in 2003), QiNetix Data Classification (released in 2005) and QiNetix ContinuousDataReplicator (released June 2006). In addition to Galaxy, the subsequent release of our other software has substantially increased our addressable market. In July 2007, we released our CommVault Simpana 7.0 software suite, based on our singular approach to data management, which significantly expanded the breadth and depth of our QiNetix data management suite. CommVault Simpana 7.0 introduces secure search and discovery capabilities and new disk-based efficiencies designed to improve access, security, performance and reach of enterprise information. As of June 30, 2007, we had licensed our software applications to approximately 6,500 registered customers.
     We completed a follow-on public offering in June 2007 of 7,870,000 shares of common stock to the public at a price of $17.00 per share. We sold 300,000 shares and certain of our stockholders sold 7,570,000 shares in this offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts, our net proceeds from the offering were approximately $4.3 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we used the net proceeds from our follow-on public offering, together with approximately $3.2 million of our existing cash, to pay $7.5 million in satisfaction of the outstanding principal on our term loan.
     We completed our initial public offering in September 2006 in which we sold 11,111,111 shares of common stock to the public at a price of $14.50 per share. We sold 6,148,148 shares and certain of our stockholders sold 4,962,963 shares in the offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the other offering expenses, our net proceeds from the initial public offering were approximately $80.2 million. In conjunction with the initial public offering, we also sold 102,640 shares of common stock in a concurrent private placement at the initial public offering price pursuant to preemptive rights as a result of the initial public offering. Our net proceeds from the concurrent private placement were approximately $1.5 million. We used the net proceeds of the offering and the private placement, together with borrowings under our term loan and $10.1 million of our existing cash and cash equivalents, to pay $101.8 million in satisfaction of amounts due on our Series A, B, C, D and E preferred stock upon its conversions into common stock, which occurred upon the closing of the offering. In conjunction with the offering, all of our outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into 16,019,480 shares of our common stock.
     We currently derive the majority of our software revenue from our Galaxy Backup and Recovery software application. Sales of Galaxy Backup and Recovery represented approximately 85% of our total software revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, we derive the majority of our services revenue from customer and technical support associated with our Galaxy Backup and Recovery software application. We anticipate that we

will continue to derive a majority of our software and services revenue from our Galaxy Backup and Recovery software application for the foreseeable future.
     Given the nature of the industry in which we operate, our software applications are subject to obsolescence. We continually develop and introduce updates to our existing software applications in order to keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards, changing customer requirements and competitive software applications that may render our existing software applications obsolete. For each of our software applications, we provide full support for the current generally available release and one prior release. When we declare a product release obsolete, a customer notice is delivered twelve months prior to the effective date of obsolescence announcing continuation of full product support for the first six months. We provide an additional six months of extended assistance support in which we provide existing workarounds or fixes only, which do not require additional development activity. We do not have existing plans to make any of our software products permanently obsolete.
Sources of Revenues
     We derive the majority of our revenues from sales of licenses of our software applications. We do not customize our software for a specific end user customer. We sell our software applications to end user customers both directly through our sales force and indirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers and original equipment manufacturers. Our corporate resellers bundle or sell our software applications together with their own products, and our value added resellers sell our software applications independently. Our software revenue was 55% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 56% in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Software revenue generated through direct distribution channels was approximately 24% of total software revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and was approximately 33% of total software revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Software revenue generated through indirect distribution channels was approximately 76% of total software revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and was approximately 67% of total software revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2006. We have no current plans to focus future growth on one distribution channel versus another. The failure of our indirect distribution channels to effectively sell our software applications could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
     We have original equipment manufacturer agreements with Dell and Hitachi Data Systems for them to market, sell and support our software applications and services on a stand-alone basis and/or incorporate our software applications into their own hardware products. Dell and Hitachi Data Systems have no obligation to recommend or offer our software applications exclusively or at all, and they have no minimum sales requirements and can terminate our relationship at any time. An increasing portion of our software revenue is related to such sales arrangements with original equipment manufacturers that have no obligation to sell our software applications. A material portion of our software revenue is generated through these arrangements, and we expect this contribution to grow in the future.
     In May 2007, we signed an original equipment manufacturer agreement with Bull SAS (“Bull”) pursuant to which they have agreed to market, sell, and support our software applications and services. To date, we have not generated any revenue through Bull, but expect this to occur in the future.
     In February 2007, we signed a wide-ranging distribution agreement Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”) covering our North American commercial markets. Many of our resellers have been transitioned to Arrow and we expect that that certain revenues currently generated through our reseller channel will be transitioned to Arrow throughout fiscal 2008.
     In recent fiscal years, we have generated approximately two-thirds of our software revenue from our existing customer base and approximately one-third of our software revenue from new customers. In addition, our total software revenue in any particular period is, to a certain extent, dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from large customer software deals. We expect the number of software transactions over $0.1 million to increase throughout fiscal 2008, although the size and timing of any particular software transaction is more difficult to forecast. Such software transactions typically represent approximately 30% to 35% of our total software revenue in any given period.

Table of Contents

     Our services revenue is made up of fees from the delivery of customer support and other professional services, which are typically sold in connection with the sale of our software applications. Customer support agreements provide technical support and unspecified software updates on a when-and-if-available basis for an annual fee based on licenses purchased and the level of service subscribed. Other professional services include consulting, assessment and design services, implementation and post-deployment services and training, all of which to date have predominantly been sold in connection with the sale of software applications. Our services revenue was 45% of our total revenues for three months ended June 30, 2007 and 44% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The gross margin of our services revenue was 70.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 69.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our services revenue has lower gross margins than our software revenue. An increase in the percentage of total revenues represented by services revenue would adversely affect our overall gross margins.
Description of Costs and Expenses
     Our cost of revenues is as follows:
    Cost of Software Revenue, consists primarily of third party royalties and other costs such as media, manuals, translation and distribution costs; and
 
    Cost of Services Revenue, consists primarily of salary and employee benefit costs in providing customer support and other professional services.
     Our operating expenses are as follows:
    Sales and Marketing, consists primarily of salaries, commissions, employee benefits and other direct and indirect business expenses, including travel related expenses, sales promotion expenses, public relations expenses and costs for marketing materials and other marketing events (such as trade shows and advertising);
 
    Research and Development, which is primarily the expense of developing new software applications and modifying existing software applications, consists principally of salaries and benefits for research and development personnel and related expenses; contract labor expense and consulting fees as well as other expenses associated with the design, certification and testing of our software applications; and legal costs associated with the patent registration of such software applications;
 
    General and Administrative, consists primarily of salaries and benefits for our executive, accounting, human resources, legal, information systems and other administrative personnel. Also included in this category are other general corporate expenses, such as outside legal and accounting services and insurance; and
 
    Depreciation and Amortization, consists of depreciation expense primarily for computer equipment we use for information services and in our development and test labs.
     We anticipate that each of the above categories of operating expenses will increase in dollar amounts, but will decline as a percentage of total revenues in the long-term.
Critical Accounting Policies
     In presenting our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported therein. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. The following is a description of our accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments, which could potentially have a material effect on our reported financial condition or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition
     We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations. Our revenue recognition policy is based on complex rules that require us to make significant judgments and estimates. In applying our revenue recognition policy, we must determine which portions of our revenue are recognized currently (generally software revenue) and which portions must be deferred and recognized in future periods (generally services revenue). We analyze various factors including, but not limited to, the sales of undelivered services when sold on a stand-alone basis, our pricing policies, the credit-worthiness of our customers and resellers, accounts receivable aging data and contractual terms and conditions in helping us to make such judgments about revenue recognition. Changes in judgment on any of these factors could materially impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized in a given period.
     Currently, we derive revenues from two primary sources, or elements: software licenses and services. Services include customer support, consulting, assessment and design services, installation services and training. A typical sales arrangement includes both of these elements.
     For sales arrangements involving multiple elements, we recognize revenue using the residual method as described in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on relative fair value and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of the undelivered elements in multiple-element arrangements is based on the price charged when such elements are sold separately, which is commonly referred to as vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).
     Software licenses typically provide for the perpetual right to use our software and are sold on a per copy basis or as site licenses. Site licenses give the customer the additional right to deploy the software on a limited basis during a specified term. We recognize software revenue through direct sales channels upon receipt of a purchase order or other persuasive evidence and when the other three basic revenue recognition criteria are met as described in the revenue recognition section in Note 3 of our “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” We recognize software revenue through all indirect sales channels on a sell-through model. A sell-through model requires that we recognize revenue when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met and these channels complete the sale of our software products to the end user. Revenue from software licenses sold through an original equipment manufacturer partner is recognized upon the receipt of a royalty report or purchase order from that original equipment manufacturer partner.
     Services revenue includes revenue from customer support and other professional services. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support and bug fixes or patches. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year. To determine the price for the customer support element when sold separately, we primarily use historical renewal rates and, in certain cases, we use stated renewal rates. Historical renewal rates are supported by a rolling 12-month VSOE analysis in which we segregate our customer support renewal contracts into different classes based on specific criteria including, but not limited to, dollar amount of software purchased, level of customer support being provided and distribution channel. The purpose of such an analysis is to determine if the customer support element that is deferred at the time of a software sale is consistent with how it is sold on a stand-alone renewal basis.
     Our other professional services include consulting, assessment and design services, installation services and training. Other professional services provided by us are not mandatory and can also be performed by the customer or a third party. In addition to a signed purchase order, our consulting, assessment and design services and installation services are generally evidenced by a signed Statement of Work, which defines the specific scope of the services to be performed when sold and performed on a stand-alone basis or included in multiple-element sales arrangements. Revenues from consulting, assessment and design services and installation services are based upon a daily or weekly rate and are recognized when the services are completed. Training includes courses taught by our instructors or third party contractors either at one of our facilities or at the customer’s site. Training fees are recognized after the training course has been provided. Based on our analysis of such other professional services transactions sold on a stand-alone basis, we have concluded we have established VSOE for such other professional services when sold in connection with a multiple-element sales arrangement.
     In summary, we have analyzed all of the undelivered elements included in our multiple-element sales arrangements and determined that we have VSOE of fair value to allocate revenues to services. Our analysis of the

Table of Contents

undelivered elements has provided us with results that are consistent with the estimates and assumptions used to determine the timing and amount of revenue recognized in our multiple-element sales arrangements. Accordingly, assuming all basic revenue recognition criteria are met, software revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software license using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9. We are not likely to materially change our pricing and discounting practices in the future.
     Our sales arrangements generally do not include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement does include an acceptance clause, we defer the revenue for such arrangement and recognize it upon acceptance. Acceptance occurs upon the earliest of receipt of a written customer acceptance, waiver of customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
     We have offered limited price protection under certain original equipment manufacturer agreements. Any right to a future refund from such price protection is entirely within our control. We estimate that the likelihood of a future payout due to price protection is remote.
Stock-Based Compensation
     On April 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS Statement No. 123(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, our stock-based compensation costs beginning April 1, 2006 is based on a combination of the following: (1) all options granted prior to, but not vested as of April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (2) all options and restricted stock units granted subsequent to April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
     Under SFAS 123(R), we estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes formula. The fair value of stock option awards subsequent to April 1, 2006 is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Expected volatility was calculated based on reported data for a peer group of publicly traded companies for which historical information was available. We will continue to use peer group volatility information until our historical volatility is relevant to measure expected volatility for future option grants. The average expected life was determined according to the “SEC shortcut approach” as described in SAB 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated based on a historical analysis of our actual stock option forfeitures.
     The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in the three months ended June 30, 2007 are as follows:
     
    Three Months Ended
    June 30, 2007
Dividend yield
  None
Expected volatility
  47%
Risk-free interest rates
  4.68%-5.18%
Expected life (in years)
  6.25
     As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $25.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock option and restricted stock unit awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.88 years.
Accounting for Income Taxes
     As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We record this amount as a provision or benefit for taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, including assessing the risks associated with tax audits, and assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. As

18


Table of Contents

of June 30, 2007, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $51.9 million, which were primarily related to federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state research tax credit carryforwards. We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that we believe recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2007, we maintained a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of approximately $1.8 million primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards in certain international jurisdictions as there is not sufficient evidence to enable us to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
     On April 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we recognized a charge of $1.1 million to the April 1, 2007 accumulated deficit balance. As of the adoption date, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $6.1 million all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. As of the adoption date, we had accrued interest expense of $0.3 million related to the unrecognized tax benefits. In the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized additional interest related to income tax of $0.1 million.
     The amount of unrecognized tax benefits (exclusive of interest) did not change as of June 30, 2007 and we do not anticipate any material changes in the next twelve months.
     We conduct business globally and as a result, files income tax returns in the United States and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, India, Singapore and Spain.
     We are not currently under audit in any tax jurisdiction. The tax years currently open under the statute of limitations are fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Software Development Costs
     Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on our software development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model, which also requires certification and extensive testing. Costs incurred by us between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been immaterial.

Three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to three months ended June 30, 2006
Revenues
     Total revenues increased $10.5 million, or 31%, from $33.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $44.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007.
     Software Revenue. Software revenue increased $5.3 million, or 28%, from $18.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $24.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Software revenue represented 55% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 56% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Software revenue through our resellers increased $5.2 million and revenue through our direct sales force decreased $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The overall decrease in software revenue sold through our direct sales force was primarily due to lower software revenue derived from our direct sales force in the United States as well as a higher percentage of software revenue derived from foreign locations which is substantially sold through our channel partners. Total software revenue derived from the United States increased 4% while software revenue derived from foreign locations grew 94% in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in software revenue derived from foreign locations was primarily driven by increases in Europe, Canada and Mexico. In addition, revenue through our original equipment manufacturers contributed $0.5 million to our overall increase in software revenue primarily due to higher revenue from our arrangement with Dell, partially offset by a reduction in revenue from our arrangement with Hitachi Data Systems. Software revenue from transactions greater than $0.1 million increased $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.
     Services Revenue. Services revenue increased $5.2 million, or 35%, from $14.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $19.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Services revenue represented 45% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 44% in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in services revenue was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in revenue from customer support agreements as a result of software sales to new customers and renewal agreements with our installed software base.
Cost of Revenues
     Total cost of revenues increased $1.5 million, or 31%, from $4.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Total cost of revenues represented 14% of our total revenues in both the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
     Cost of Software Revenue. Cost of software revenue increased $0.2 million, or 69%, from $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of software revenue represented 2% of our total software revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cost of software revenue is primarily due to higher third party royalties.
     Cost of Services Revenue. Cost of services revenue increased $1.3 million, or 29%, from $4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of services revenue represented 29% of our services revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 31% in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cost of services revenue was primarily the result of higher employee compensation and travel expenses totaling approximately $0.8 million resulting from higher headcount and increased sales.
Operating Expenses
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $5.9 million, or 39%, from $15.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $21.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in employee compensation resulting from higher headcount, a $0.6 million increase in commission expense on higher revenue levels, a $0.6 million increase in travel and entertainment expenses due to increased headcount and a $0.5 million increase in advertising and marketing related expenses.
     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $1.0 million, or 19%, from $5.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $6.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The

20


Table of Contents

increase was primarily due to $0.7 million of higher employee compensation resulting from higher headcount, and a $0.2 million increase in legal expenses associated with patent registration of our intellectual property.
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 11%, from $4.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $5.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in employee compensation resulting from higher headcount and a $0.3 million increase in compliance and insurance costs associated with being a public company, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in legal costs associated with a litigation settlement in the prior year.
     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation expense increased $0.2 million, or 41%, from $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. This reflects higher depreciation associated with increased capital expenditures primarily for product development and other computer-related equipment.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense increased $0.1 million, from zero in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was due to interest incurred on our term loan facility.
Interest Income
     Interest income increased $0.3 million, from $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was due to higher interest rates and higher cash balances in our deposit accounts.
Income Tax Expense
     Income tax expense increased $1.8 million, from less than $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The effective tax rate was approximately 39% in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and approximately 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2006. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, the 1% effective tax rate was primarily the result of the full valuation allowance we maintained against our deferred tax assets. In March 2007, we determined that based upon a number of factors, including our cumulative taxable income over the past three fiscal years and expected profitability in future years, that certain of our deferred tax assets were “more likely than not” realizable through future earnings. Accordingly, in March 2007 we reversed substantially all of our deferred income tax valuation allowance and recorded a corresponding tax benefit of $52.2 million. We review the expected annual effective income tax rate and make changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual income, changes to the actual and forecasted permanent book-to-tax differences, or changes resulting from the impact of a tax law change.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of June 30, 2007, we had $70.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. In recent fiscal years, our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations and cash provided from our public offerings of common stock. Historically, our principle source of liquidity had been cash provided by private placements of preferred equity securities and common stock.
     In June 2007, we completed a follow-on public offering of 7,870,000 shares of common stock to the public at a price of $17.00 per share. We sold 300,000 shares and certain of our stockholders sold 7,570,000 shares in the offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering our net proceeds from the offering were approximately $4.3 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we used the net proceeds from our follow-on public offering, together with approximately $3.2 million of our existing cash, to pay $7.5 million in satisfaction of the outstanding principal on our term loan.
     In September 2006, we completed our initial public offering and related concurrent private placement and generated net proceeds of approximately $81.7 million. We used the net proceeds, together with net borrowings of $10.0 million under our term loan and $10.1 million of our existing cash and cash equivalents, to pay $101.8 million in satisfaction of amounts due on our Series A, B, C, D and E preferred stock upon its conversions into common stock.

Table of Contents

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $6.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006. In the three months ended June 30, 2007, cash generated by operating activities was primarily due to net income adjusted for the impact of noncash charges and an increase in deferred services revenue, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due to higher revenue. We anticipate that as our revenues continue to grow, accounts receivable and deferred services revenue balances should continue to grow as well. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income adjusted for the impact of noncash charges and a decrease in accounts receivable.
     Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Cash used in investing activities in each period was due to purchases of property and equipment. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily related to the growth in our business as we continue to invest in and enhance our global infrastructure.
     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and ($0.1) million in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2007 was due to $4.4 million of net proceeds generated from our follow-on public offering, $3.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, $1.0 million of excess tax benefits recognized as a result of the stock option exercises, partially offset by the cash use of $7.5 million in principal repayment on our term loan. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, cash paid of $0.3 million related to costs for our initial public offering were partially offset by $0.2 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.
     Working capital increased $12.5 million from $34.9 million as of March 31, 2007 to $47.4 million as of June 30, 2007. The increase in working capital is primarily due to our repayment of $7.5 million under our term loan, a $5.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, and a $3.2 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in deferred revenue. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to net income generated during the period adjusted for the impact of noncash charges and cash received from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the net cash used in connection with the transactions associated with our follow-on public offering.
     We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We cannot assure you that this will be the case or that our assumptions regarding revenues and expenses underlying this belief will be accurate. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements during this period. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility, and would also require us to fund additional interest expense. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of June 30, 2007, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Indemnifications
     Certain of our software licensing agreements contain certain provisions that indemnify our customers from any claim, suit or proceeding arising from alleged or actual intellectual property infringement. These provisions continue in perpetuity along with our software licensing agreements. We have never incurred a liability relating to one of these indemnification provisions in the past and we believe that the likelihood of any future payout relating to these provisions is remote. Therefore, we have not recorded a liability during any period related to these indemnification provisions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115”, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our financial statements.
Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
     As of June 30, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents balance consisted primarily of money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we are not subject to any material interest rate risk on these balances.
Foreign Currency Risk
     As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international sales are generally denominated in foreign currencies, and this revenue could be materially affected by currency fluctuations. Approximately 37% of our sales were outside the United States in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 30% were outside the United States in fiscal 2007. Our primary exposures are to fluctuations in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Euro and, to a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee and Singapore dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported revenues and require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Historically, we have periodically reviewed and revised the pricing of our products available to our customers in foreign countries and we have not maintained excess cash balances in foreign accounts. To date, we have not hedged our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and, as a result, could incur unanticipated gains or losses.
     We estimate that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would impact our reported operating profit by approximately $1.7 million annually. This sensitivity analysis disregards the possibilities that rates can move in opposite directions and that losses from one geographic area may be offset by gains from another geographic area.
Item 4 — Controls and Procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007 and, based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
     Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     From time to time, we are subject to claims in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We do not believe that we are party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operating results.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial conditions or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose part or all of their investment.
