NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Citrix Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown, are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period partially because of the seasonality of the Company’s business. Historically, the Company’s revenue for the fourth quarter of any year is typically higher than the revenue for the first quarter of the subsequent year. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in this report and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, the actual amount of such estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates.

Investments

Short-term and long-term investments at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 primarily consist of agency securities, corporate securities, municipal securities, government securities and commercial paper. Investments classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Investments classified as trading securities are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. The Company classifies its available-for-sale investments as current and non-current based on their actual remaining time to maturity. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale investments in income unless a decline in value is considered other-than-temporary in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Staff Position 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.

The Company’s investment policy is designed to limit exposure to any one issuer depending on credit quality. The Company uses information provided by third parties to adjust the carrying value of certain of its investments to fair value at the end of each period. Fair values are based on valuation models that use market quotes and, for certain investments, assumptions as to the creditworthiness of the entities issuing those underlying instruments.

Unrealized Losses on Available-for-Sale Investments

The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company’s unrealized loss in corporate bonds is primarily comprised of an investment issued by AIG Matched Funding Corporation (the “AIG Capped Floater”) with a face value of $50.0 million, which matures in September 2011. American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), as the issuer’s parent, provided a guarantee of the security at the time of purchase in September 2006. As of March 31, 2009, the unrealized loss of $16.3 million, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, was primarily caused by AIG experiencing liquidity challenges which were reportedly precipitated by problems in the capital markets. AIG’s lack of liquidity triggered a downgrade in the credit ratings for its long-term issues to A- and A3 by two rating agencies on October 3, 2008. As a result of AIG’s liquidity challenges, in November 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) intervened with a five-year credit facility to help stabilize AIG and its effect on the overall market. In addition, on March 2, 2009, AIG announced further actions were taken in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Treasury and the FRBNY to provide it with additional financial stability. As of the date of this report, AIG has not been reported to have defaulted on capital repayments to holders of its recently matured debt and it continues to pay interest on the Company’s AIG Capped Floater. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold this security until a recovery of fair value, which it believes will occur, however, may not occur until maturity, it does not consider the security to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

If AIG’s financial position continues to deteriorate, the Company may be required to further adjust the carrying value of the AIG Capped Floater and potentially recognize an impairment charge for an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the investment. Based on the Company’s available cash and other investments, it does not currently anticipate that the lack of liquidity caused by holding the AIG Capped Floater to recovery will have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

Trading Investments

As of March 31, 2009, the Company held municipal auction rate securities, the majority of which are triple-A rated, with an aggregate par value of approximately $45.5 million, whose underlying assets are generally student loans which are substantially backed by the federal government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program through investment accounts managed by UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”). The market for municipal auction rate securities in the Company’s portfolio began experiencing auction failures on February 13, 2008 and there have been no successful auctions for the securities held in its portfolio since the failures began. In November 2008, the Company formally accepted the terms of a settlement (the “Settlement”) from UBS. Upon accepting the terms of the Settlement, the Company received an enforceable, non-transferrable right (the “Put Option”) that would enable it to sell its auction rate securities back to UBS during the period between June 30, 2010 and July 2, 2012 at par value. Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair value of the Put Option in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and contemporaneously made the fair value election as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, as amended, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Therefore, the Company records changes in the fair value of the Put Option in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $1.5 million related to its investments in auction rate securities and a corresponding loss of $1.5 million related to the Put Option, both of which are included in other expense, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company measures its cash flow hedges, which are classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, at fair value based on indicative prices in active markets and generally measures its investments in available-for-sale securities at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Due to the illiquidity in the municipal auction rate securities market caused by failed auctions, the Company’s valuation technique for certain of its municipal auction rate securities was to measure such securities at fair value using a discounted cash flow model. In its discounted cash flow model, the Company used several assumptions to derive a fair value for its investments in municipal auction rate securities, including a discount rate based on the credit quality of the underlying investments and a factor to further discount the investments for the illiquidity currently present in the market for these securities. Accordingly, these trading investments are included in Level 3. Also included in Level 3 is the Put Option. In order to determine the fair value of the Put Option, the Company measured the differential between the aggregate par value of its auction rate securities and their fair value as of the reporting date and applied a discount rate that considers both the time period between the reporting date and the first date the Company is able to exercise its right to put the auction rate securities to UBS per the terms of the Settlement and the credit worthiness of UBS.

During 2008, the Company measured its AIG Capped Floater using indicative pricing for another AIG security with similar terms (the “Referenced Security”) which had regular trading activity, a Level 2 observation. The last trade observed during the three month period ending March 31, 2009 on the Referenced Security occurred on February 24, 2009. In order to capture the continued volatility in market conditions specific to AIG through March 31, 2009, the Company adjusted the last quoted price on the Referenced Security downward based on the direction of the trading activity observed on several other floating rate AIG debt securities with varying maturity dates. Since this adjustment required the Company to make assumptions that were not directly or indirectly observable regarding the AIG Capped Floater’s fair value as of March 31, 2009, it was transferred to Level 3 during the first quarter of 2009 and is included in the table below as a transfer to Level 3.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and licenses products primarily through multiple channels such as value-added resellers, channel distributors, system integrators, independent software vendors, its Websites and original equipment manufacturers. The Company’s product licenses are generally perpetual. The Company also separately sells license updates and services, which may include product training, technical support and consulting services, as well as online services.

The Company’s software revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SOP 97-2 and related amendments and interpretations. Because the Company’s Online Services provide applications as an online service, the Company follows the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition.

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and the Company has no remaining obligations; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collectability is probable. Net revenues include the following categories: Product Licenses, License Updates, Online Services and Technical Services. Product Licenses revenues primarily represent fees related to the licensing of the Company’s software and appliance products. These revenues are reflected net of sales allowances, cooperative advertising agreements and provisions for stock balancing return rights. License Updates revenues consist of fees related to the Subscription Advantage program that are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically 12-24 months. Subscription Advantage is a renewable program that provides subscribers with immediate access to software upgrades, enhancements and maintenance releases when and if they become available during the term of the contract. Online Services revenues consist primarily of fees related to online service agreements which are recognized ratably over the contract term. In addition, Online Services revenues also include set-up fees which are recognized ratably over the expected customer life. Technical Services revenues are comprised of fees from technical support services which are recognized ratably over the contract term as well as revenues from product training and certification, and consulting services revenue related to implementation of the Company’s products, which is recognized as the services are provided.

The Company licenses most of its software products bundled with a one year contract for license updates that provide the end-user with unspecified enhancements and upgrades to the licensed product on a when and if available basis. Customers may also elect to purchase subscriptions for license updates, when not bundled with the initial product purchase. Technical support, product training or consulting services may be purchased separately by the customer. Online services are sold separately. The Company allocates revenue to license updates and any other undelivered elements of the arrangement based on VSOE of fair value of each element and such amounts are deferred until the applicable delivery criteria and other revenue recognition criteria described above have been met. The balance of the revenues, net of any discounts inherent in the arrangement, are recognized at the outset of the arrangement using the residual method as the product licenses are delivered.

In the normal course of business, the Company is not obligated to accept product returns from its distributors under any conditions, unless the product item is defective in manufacture, but it does provide most of its distributors with stock balancing and price protection rights. Stock balancing rights permit distributors to return products to the Company up to the forty-fifth day of the fiscal quarter, subject to ordering an equal dollar amount of its other products prior to the last day of the same fiscal quarter. Price protection rights require that the Company grants retroactive price adjustments for inventories of its products held by distributors or resellers if it lowers its prices for such products. Product items returned to the Company under the stock balancing program must be in new, unused and unopened condition. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns for stock balancing and price protection rights, as well as other sales allowances, concurrently with the recognition of revenue. Allowances for estimated product returns amounted to approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company’s stock-based compensation program is a broad based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and reward talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans under which it was granting stock options and non-vested stock units. The Company is currently granting stock-based awards from its 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2005 Plan”) and its 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2005 ESPP”). In connection with certain of the Company’s acquisitions, the Company has assumed several plans from the acquired companies. The Company’s Board of Directors has provided that no new awards will be granted under the Company’s acquired stock plans. The Company’s superseded and expired stock plans include the Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Plan, Second Amended and Restated 2000 Director and Officer Stock Option and Incentive Plan, Second Amended and Restated 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and Third Amended and Restated 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Awards previously granted under these plans and still outstanding typically expire ten years from the date of grant and will continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of such plans, as applicable.

Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”), non-vested stock, non-vested stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and performance units and to make stock-based awards to full and part-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, where legally eligible to participate, as well as consultants and non-employee directors of the Company. Currently, the 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 26,500,000 shares of common stock. On April 14, 2009, subject to shareholder approval at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board of Directors approved a fourth amendment to the 2005 Plan (the “Plan Amendment”) to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2005 Plan by an additional 5,600,000 shares and (ii) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to unvested stock, unvested stock units, performance units or stock grants by an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Under the 2005 Plan, ISOs must be granted at exercise prices no less than fair market value on the date of grant, except for ISOs granted to employees who own more than 10% of the Company’s combined voting power, for which the exercise prices must be no less than 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. NSOs and SARs must be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant, or in the case of SARs in tandem with options, at the exercise price of the related option. Non-vested stock awards may be granted for such consideration in cash, other property or services, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors. All stock-based awards are exercisable upon vesting. The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of March 31, 2009, there were 38,137,813 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and the Company had authorization under its 2005 Plan to grant 7,409,829 additional stock-based awards.

Under the 2005 ESPP, all full-time and certain part-time employees of the Company are eligible to purchase common stock of the Company twice per year at the end of a six-month payment period (a “Payment Period”). During each Payment Period, eligible employees who so elect may authorize payroll deductions in an amount no less than 1% nor greater than 10% of his or her base pay for each payroll period in the Payment Period. At the end of each Payment Period, the accumulated deductions are used to purchase shares of common stock from the Company up to a maximum of 12,000 shares for any one employee during a Payment Period. Shares are purchased at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of a Payment Period. Employees who, after exercising their rights to purchase shares of common stock in the 2005 ESPP, would own shares representing 5% or more of the voting power of the Company’s common stock, are ineligible to participate under the 2005 ESPP. The 2005 ESPP provides for the issuance of a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2009, 1,342,148 shares had been issued under the 2005 ESPP. The Company recorded stock-based compensation costs related to the 2005 ESPP of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Stock Options

Options granted from the 2005 Plan typically have a five-year life and vest over three years at a rate of 33.3% of the shares underlying the option one year from date of grant and at a rate of 2.78% monthly thereafter. The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price, volatility over the term of the awards, actual employee exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. For purposes of valuing stock options, the Company determined the expected volatility factor by considering the implied volatility in two-year market-traded options of the Company’s common stock based on third party volatility quotes in accordance with the provisions of SAB No. 107. The Company’s decision to use implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options on the Company’s common stock and its assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility. The approximate risk free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms

equivalent to the Company’s expected term on its options. The expected term of the Company’s stock options was based on the historical employee exercise patterns. The Company also periodically analyzes its historical pattern of option exercises based on certain demographic characteristics and determined that there were no meaningful differences in option exercise activity based on the demographic characteristics. The Company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company used a dividend yield of zero in its option pricing model.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $6.55. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $6.7 million. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the shares. As of March 31, 2009, there was $118.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.10 years.

The assumptions used to value option grants are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2009		2008
Expected volatility factor	0.44		0.39
Approximate risk free interest rate	1.31	%	2.84	%
Expected term (in years)	3.37		3.56
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%

Non-vested Stock

The Company assumed shares of non-vested stock in conjunction with its acquisition of XenSource, Inc. Upon assumption these shares were reset to vest over three years at a rate of 33.3% of the shares one year from date of grant and at a rate of 2.78% monthly thereafter based on service. As of March 31, 2009, the number of non-vested shares granted was 660,614 and there was $23.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.55 years.

Non-vested Stock Units

Annually, the Company awards all vice presidents and senior executives non-vested performance stock units from the 2005 Plan. The number of non-vested stock units underlying each award is determined one year after the date of the award based on achievement of a specific corporate operating income/margin goal. If the performance goal is less than 90% attained, then no non-vested stock units will be issued pursuant to the authorized award. For performance at and above 90%, the number of non-vested stock units issued is based on a graduated slope, with the maximum number of non-vested stock units issuable pursuant to the award capped at 125% of the base number of non-vested stock units set forth in the executive’s award agreement. The Company is required to estimate the attainment that will be achieved related to the defined performance goals and the number of non-vested stock units that will ultimately be awarded in order to recognize compensation expense over the vesting period. If the performance goal is met, the non-vested stock units vest 33.33% on each anniversary subsequent to the date of the award. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. If the performance goals are not met, no compensation cost will ultimately be recognized in that period and any previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed. During 2008, the performance goal was achieved within the range of the graduated slope and there was no material adjustment to compensation cost related to non-vested stock units granted to executives. Annually, the Company also awards all vice presidents and senior executives non-vested stock units from the 2005 Plan that vest based on service. These non-vested stock units vest 33.33% on each anniversary subsequent to the date of the award. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, will represent the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company awards non-vested stock units to all of its non-employee directors. These units vest monthly in equal installments based on service and, upon vesting, each stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2009, the number of non-vested stock units was 1,072,048 and there was $17.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock units. The unrecognized cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.93 years.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock awards (calculated using the treasury stock method) during the period they were outstanding.

4. ACQUISITIONS

2008 Acquisition

In October 2008, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vapps, Inc. (“Vapps”), a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey. Vapps offers high quality audio conferencing solutions to small and medium sized businesses and enterprise and service provider markets that complement the Company’s online services products. The total consideration for this transaction was approximately $26.4 million in cash, including $1.0 million in transaction costs. In addition, if certain financial and operational milestones are achieved by the Vapps business, contingent consideration of up to approximately $4.4 million may be earned. The sources of funds for this transaction consisted of available cash and investments. In addition, the Company assumed approximately 0.1 million unvested stock options upon the closing of the transaction. Revenues from Vapps are included in the Company’s Online Services revenue. The Vapps’ results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning after the date of its acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of Vapps, the Company allocated $19.6 million to goodwill, $8.2 million to product related technologies and $2.6 million to other intangible assets. The goodwill related to the acquisition of Vapps was assigned to the Company’s Online Services segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 6 for segment information.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions

The fair values used in determining the purchase price allocation for certain intangible assets for the Company’s acquisition was based on estimated discounted future cash flows, royalty rates and historical data, among other information. Purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) of $1.1 million was expensed immediately upon the closing of the acquisition of Vapps in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method, because it pertained to technology that was not currently technologically feasible, meaning it had not reached the working model stage, did not contain all of the major functions planned for the product, was not ready for initial customer testing and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to IPR&D was determined using the income approach, which includes estimating the revenue and expenses associated with a project’s sales cycle and by estimating the amount of after-tax cash flows attributable to the projects. The future cash flows were discounted to present value utilizing an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return, which ranged from 21% to 25%. The rate of return determination included a factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the IPR&D.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

Effective on August 9, 2005, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of financial institutions (the “Lenders”). Effective September 27, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its Credit Facility (the “Amendment”). The Amendment decreased the overall range of interest rates the Company must pay on amounts outstanding on the Credit Facility and lowered the facility fee. In addition, the Amendment extended the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, as amended, allows the Company to increase the revolving credit commitment up to a maximum aggregate revolving credit commitment of $175.0 million. The Credit Facility, as amended, currently provides for a revolving line of credit that will expire on September 27, 2011 in the aggregate amount of $100.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. A portion of the revolving line of credit (i) in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million may be available for issuances of letters of credit and (ii) in the

aggregate amount of $15.0 million may be available for swing line loans. The Credit Facility, as amended, currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.32% and adjusts in the range of 0.32% to 0.80% above LIBOR based on the level of the Company’s total debt and its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.08% to 0.20% based on the aggregate amount available under the Credit Facility, as amended, and the level of the Company’s total debt and its adjusted EBITDA. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, as amended, are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s U.S. and foreign subsidiaries, which guarantees are secured by a pledge of shares of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, as amended.

The Credit Facility, as amended, contains customary default provisions, and the Company must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The primary non-financial covenants contain certain limits on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, conduct certain mergers or acquisitions, make certain investments and loans, incur future indebtedness or liens, alter the Company’s capital structure or sell stock or assets. As of March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in a single industry segment consisting of the design, development and marketing of technology solutions that allow applications to be delivered, supported and shared on-demand. The Company’s revenues are derived from sales of its Citrix Delivery Center products and related technical services in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions and from its online services sold by its Online Services division. These three geographic regions and the Online Services division constitute the Company’s four reportable segments.

The Company does not engage in intercompany revenue transfers between segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the Company’s performance based primarily on profitability in the geographic locations in which the Company operates and separately evaluates the performance of its Online Services division. Segment profit for each segment includes certain sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment, including research and development costs in the Online Services division and excludes certain expenses that are managed outside the reportable segments. Costs excluded from segment profit primarily consist of certain research and development costs associated with the Company’s delivery center products, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation costs, amortization of product related technology, amortization of other intangible assets, interest, corporate expenses and income taxes. Corporate expenses are comprised primarily of corporate marketing costs, stock-based compensation costs, operations and certain general and administrative expenses, which are separately managed. Accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as its consolidated accounting policies.

Also, the Company is in the process of assessing the consolidation of facilities. The Company currently anticipates completing its assessment by the end of 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had not vacated any space, accordingly no accruals related to the consolidation of facilities have been recorded.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges

As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities resulted from cash flow hedges related to its forecasted operating expenses transacted in local currencies. A substantial portion of the Company’s overseas expenses are and will continue to be transacted in local currencies. To protect against fluctuations in operating expenses and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in currency exchange rates, the Company has established a program that uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to these potential changes. The terms of these instruments, and the hedged transactions to which they relate, generally do not exceed 12 months and the maximum term is 18 months.

Generally, when the dollar is weak, foreign currency denominated expenses will be higher, and these higher expenses will be partially offset by the gains realized from the Company’s hedging contracts. Conversely, if the dollar is strong, foreign currency denominated expenses will be lower. These lower expenses will in turn be partially offset by the losses incurred from the Company’s hedging contracts. The change in the derivative component in accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains or losses that arose from changes in market value of the effective portion of derivatives that were held during the period, and gains or losses that were previously unrealized but have been recognized in the same line item as the forecasted transaction in current period net income due to termination or maturities of derivative contracts. This reclassification has no effect on total comprehensive income or stockholders’ equity.

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

The total cumulative unrealized loss on cash flow derivative instruments was $8.6 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net unrealized gain as of March 31, 2009 is expected to be recognized in income over the next twelve months at the same time the hedged items are recognized in income.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had the following net notional foreign currency forward contracts outstanding (in thousands):

Derivatives not Designated as Hedges

The Company utilizes certain derivative instruments that either do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in other expense, net.

A substantial portion of the Company’s overseas assets and liabilities are and will continue to be denominated in local currencies. To protect against fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in currency exchange rates when remeasuring the Company’s balance sheet, it utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to this potential volatility. There were no assets or liabilities related to derivatives not designated as hedges as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $28.8 million and $28.3 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. There were no amounts included in the balance at March 31, 2009 of tax positions which would not affect the annual effective tax rate and approximately $0.2 million of accrued interest on tax positions, which is included in income tax expense.

The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries is subject to federal income taxes in the U.S., as well as income taxes of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non- U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2004 and 2005 in the third quarter of 2006.

The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates as part of the process of preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2009, the Company has approximately $55.3 million in deferred tax assets. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets

CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company reviews deferred tax assets periodically for recoverability and makes estimates and judgments regarding the expected geographic sources of taxable income and gains from investments, as well as tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

In the ordinary course of global business, there are transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain; thus judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. The Company provides for income taxes on transactions based on its estimate of the probable liability. The Company adjusts its provision as appropriate for changes that impact its underlying judgments. Changes that impact provision estimates include such items as jurisdictional interpretations on tax filing positions based on the results of tax audits and general tax authority rulings. Due to the evolving nature of tax rules combined with the large number of jurisdictions in which the Company operates, it is possible that its estimates of its tax liability and the realizability of its deferred tax assets could change in the future, which may result in additional tax liabilities and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company maintains certain operational and administrative processes in overseas subsidiaries and its foreign earnings are taxed at lower foreign tax rates. The Company does not expect to remit earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately (12.2)% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 11.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2009 to the three months ended March 31, 2008 is due primarily to a discrete adjustment of deferred tax assets made during the first quarter of 2009 and the reduction in income before taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

11. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized an ongoing stock repurchase program with a total repurchase authority granted to the Company of $2.1 billion, of which $300.0 million was approved in April 2009. The Company may use the approved dollar authority to repurchase stock at any time until the approved amounts are exhausted. The objective of the Company’s stock repurchase program is to improve stockholders’ returns. At March 31, 2009, approximately $52.0 million was available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program. All shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock. A portion of the funds used to repurchase stock over the course of the program was provided by proceeds from employee stock option exercises and the related tax benefit.

The Company is authorized to make open market purchases of its common stock using general corporate funds. Additionally, the Company entered into structured stock repurchase arrangements with large financial institutions using general corporate funds in order to lower the average cost to acquire shares. These programs include terms that require the Company to make up-front payments to the counterparty financial institution and result in the receipt of stock during or at the end of the term of the agreement or the receipt of either stock or cash at the maturity of the agreement, depending on market conditions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company expended approximately $25.0 million on open market purchases, repurchasing 1,103,300 shares of outstanding common stock at an average price of $22.66. In addition, as of March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any prepaid notional amounts remaining under its structured stock repurchase programs and it did not make any up-front payments to financial institutions related to structured stock repurchase agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company took delivery of 2,430,500 shares at an average price of $36.15 per share from its structured repurchase agreements and it expended approximately $61.3 million on open market purchases, repurchasing 1,804,400 shares of outstanding common stock at an average price of $33.98. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Company made up-front payments of $13.9 million to certain financial institutions related to structured stock repurchase agreements.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases certain office space and equipment under various operating leases. In addition to rent, the leases require the Company to pay for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses. Certain of these leases contain stated escalation clauses while others contain renewal options. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, excluding renewal periods, unless renewal of the lease is reasonably assured.

The Company has an operating lease obligation related to a property that is not fully utilized which continues to 2018 with a total remaining obligation at March 31, 2009 of approximately $4.8 million, of which $0.9 million was accrued as of March 31, 2009, and is reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In calculating this accrual, the Company made estimates, based on market information, including the estimated vacancy periods and sublease rates and opportunities. The Company periodically re-evaluates its estimates related to this vacant facility.

Legal Matters

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, it is subject to patent infringement claims, including current suits against it or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries by Realtime Data, LLC, SSL Services, LLC, Accolade Systems LLC, and 01 Communiqué Laboratory Inc. alleging infringement by various Citrix products and services. These complaints were filed separately in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in April 2008 and in January 2007, and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in February 2006, respectively, and seek unspecified damages and other relief. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations made in these complaints and intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits; however, it is unable currently to determine the ultimate outcome of these or similar matters or the potential exposure to loss, if any.

In addition, the Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the normal course of business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome will not materially affect its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees

FIN No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value and requires a guarantor to make disclosures, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. For those guarantees and indemnifications that do not fall within the initial recognition and measurement requirements of FIN No. 45, the Company must continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to the guarantees and indemnifications, as required under existing generally accepted accounting principles, to identify if a loss has been incurred. If the Company determines that it is probable that a loss has been incurred, any such estimable loss would be recognized. The initial recognition and measurement requirements do not apply to the provisions contained in the majority of the Company’s software license agreements that indemnify licensees of the Company’s software from damages and costs resulting from claims alleging that the Company’s software infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. The Company has not made payments pursuant to these provisions. The Company has not identified any losses that are probable under these provisions and, accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability related to these indemnification provisions.

13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2009 the FASB issued three related Staff Positions: (i) FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (“FSP No. 157-4”); (ii) FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,(“FSP No. 115-2”); and (iii) FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (“FSP No. 107-1”); all of which will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2009. FSP No. 157-4 amends SFAS No. 157 to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability and also provides additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. If the Company were to conclude that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation to normal market activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and it may conclude that a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate when determining fair value. FSP No. 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities and revises the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP No. 107-1 enhances the disclosure of instruments under the scope of SFAS No. 157 for both interim and annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these Staff Positions will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, if any.

ITEM 2.

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

Our operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and could in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. From time to time, information provided by us or statements made by our employees contain “forward-looking” information that involves risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in the documents incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to statements concerning new products, development and offerings of products and services, market positioning, Product Licenses, License Updates, Online Services, Technical Services, Application Networking, Citrix Delivery Center, Application Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, Server Virtualization, Subscription Advantage, XenApp, NetScaler, XenServer and XenDesktop, Citrix Repeater and Access Gateway, legal proceedings, corporate bonds, competition and strategy, deferred revenues, stock-based compensation, licensing and subscription renewal programs, intellectual property, international operations, government regulation, seasonal factors, sales and sales cycle, revenue recognition, profitability, growth of revenues, composition of revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses, sales, marketing and services expenses, research and development, valuations of investments and derivative instruments, reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings, gross margins, amortization expense, interest income, foreign currency expense, impairment charges, investment transactions (including the AIG Capped Floater, our Settlement with UBS and investments in auction rate and available-for-sale securities), changes in domestic and foreign economic conditions and credit markets, the Strategic Restructuring Program and related restructuring charges, customer delays or reductions in technology purchases, anticipated operating and capital expenditure requirements, our cash inflows, cash and non-cash charges, contractual obligations, our Credit Facility, in-process research and development, tax rates, estimates and deductions, FASB Staff Positions and Interpretations, accounting standards, including SFAS No. 157, SFAS No . 159, and SFAS No. 190, acquisitions, stock repurchases, liquidity, payment of dividends and third party licenses, constitute forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees. Our actual results of operations and financial condition have varied and could in the future vary significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements. The factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as updated in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the documents incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. Such factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Executive Summary

Overview

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition and results of operations. This section is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The results of operations for the periods presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period, due in part to the seasonality of our business. Historically, our revenue for the fourth quarter of any year is typically higher than our revenue for the first quarter of the subsequent year.

We design, develop and market technology solutions that allow applications to be delivered, supported, and shared on-demand with high performance, enhanced security, and improved total cost of ownership, or TCO. We market and license our products through multiple channels such as value-added resellers, or VARS, channel distributors, system integrators, independent software vendors, our Websites and original equipment manufacturers.

Our solutions can fundamentally change an information technology organization’s approach and strategic value, transforming information technology, or IT, into an on-demand service by centralizing the delivery of applications and desktops. Further, this approach to IT transforms datacenters, making them far more flexible to adapt to the changing needs of an enterprise.

We believe our approach is unique in the market because we have combined innovative technologies in the areas of application virtualization, desktop virtualization, server virtualization and application networking, to deliver the most comprehensive end-to-end application delivery solution—marketed as Citrix Delivery Center—one that, when considered as a whole, is competitively differentiated by its interoperability and feature set.

The ongoing crisis in the credit markets, difficulties in the financial services sector and the overall weakness in the global economy, is impacting IT spending. We are seeing IT projects delayed and in many cases re-evaluated altogether. This environment has caused our current and potential customers to further delay or reduce technology purchases, which has reduced sales of our products and may result in longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition.

At the same time, however, this environment puts a much sharper focus on IT that can reduce cost and delivers quick, tangible return on investment, or ROI. With our customers focused on economic value in technology solutions, we intend to continue highlighting our solutions’ abilities to reduce IT costs, increase business flexibility, and deliver ROI.

XenApp and XenDesktop, for example, can reduce the cost of traditional desktop management by virtualizing the desktop and applications in a customer’s datacenter, where they are more easily and efficiently maintained and altered. XenServer and NetScaler can alter the traditional economies of the datacenter by providing much greater levels of flexibility of computing resources, especially servers, by improving application performance and thereby reducing the amount of processing power involved, and allowing easy reconfiguration of servers to use for multiple purposes.

Further, we will endeavor to sustain the long-term growth of our businesses and enhance our current solution set through technological innovation, engineering excellence, selective and strategic acquisition of technology, talent and/or companies, and through a commitment to delivering high-quality products and services to customers and partners. We expect to continue to make strategic investments in research and development of existing and new products and we will also invest in research and development of advanced technologies for future application, including server and desktop delivery infrastructure products. We believe that delivering innovative and high-value solutions through our Citrix Delivery Center is the key to meeting customer and partner needs and achieving our future growth.

Further, from an operations standpoint, in order to operate more efficiently and to drive long-term changes in our cost model, on January 28, 2009, we announced the implementation of a strategic restructuring program, or the Strategic Restructuring Program. The Strategic Restructuring Program included reducing our headcount by approximately 450 full-time positions. In addition, we have implemented cost savings measures including the postponement of merit increases that would have normally occurred in the second quarter of 2009 until the fourth quarter of 2009, and the 2009 merit increases for all vice presidents and company officers have been eliminated. In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $20.7 million related to employee severance and related costs. In addition to the Strategic Restructuring Program, we are continuing to take steps to reduce operating costs that include but are not limited to reprioritizing internal projects, reducing contract workers and limiting travel spending. In addition, we are in the process of assessing the consolidation of facilities.

Summary of Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, a summary of our results included:

•

Product License revenue decreased 23.9% to $111.9 million;

•

License Updates revenue increased 10.7% to $148.2 million;

•

Online Services revenue increased 16.1% to $72.0 million;

•

Technical Services revenue, which is comprised of consulting, education and technical support, increased 8.3% to $37.0 million;

•

Operating income decreased 83.5% to $5.0 million; and

•

Diluted earnings per share decreased 77.8% to $0.04.

The decrease in our Product License revenue was primarily driven by decreased sales of our Application Virtualization products. As expected, we saw many customers delay or reduce planned IT projects during the first quarter in response to current macro economic conditions. We currently expect Product License sales to decrease when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to anticipated continued weakness in the global economy and its anticipated impact on our customers IT spending, as described above. The increase in License Updates revenue was driven by increased renewals of our Subscription Advantage product over a larger subscriber base. Our Online Services revenue increased due to continued sales strength of our real-time collaboration services. We currently expect our Online Services revenue to increase slightly when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2009; however, we anticipate the overall rate of growth for this group to be slower than experienced in 2008. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to costs related to the Strategic Restructuring Program.

In addition, the financial crisis in the credit markets has caused some of our investments to experience other-than-temporary declines in fair value, which have resulted in impairment charges and unrealized losses in our investment portfolio. We do not currently anticipate that the lack of liquidity caused by holding these investments will have a material adverse effect on our operating cashflows or financial position. We continue to monitor our overall investment portfolio and if the credit ratings of the issuers of our investments deteriorate or if the issuers experience financial difficulty, including bankruptcy, we may be required to make additional adjustments to the carrying value of the securities in our investment portfolio and recognize additional impairment charges for declines in fair value which are determined to be other-than-temporary. See “– Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

2008 Acquisition

In October 2008, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vapps, Inc., or Vapps, a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey. Vapps offers high quality audio conferencing solutions to small and medium sized businesses and enterprise and service provider markets that complement our online services products. The total consideration for this transaction was approximately $26.4 million in cash, including $1.0 million in transaction costs. In addition, if certain financial and operational milestones are achieved by the Vapps business, contingent consideration of up to approximately $4.4 million may be earned. The sources of funds for this transaction consisted of available cash and investments. In addition, we assumed approximately 0.1 million unvested stock options upon the closing of the transaction.

Revenues from Vapps are included in our Online Services revenue. The Vapps results of operations have been included in our consolidated results of operations beginning after the date of its acquisition.

In-process Research and Development for Acquisitions

The fair values used in determining the purchase price allocation for certain intangible assets for our acquisitions were based on estimated discounted future cash flows, royalty rates and historical data, among other information. Purchased in-process research and development, or IPR&D, was expensed immediately upon the closing of our 2008 acquisition of Vapps in the amount of $1.1 million. Such IPR&D was expensed in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method, because it pertained to technology that was not currently technologically feasible, meaning it had not reached the working model stage, did not contain all of the major functions planned for the product, was not ready for initial customer testing and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to in-process research and development was determined using the income approach, which includes estimating the revenue and expenses associated with a project’s sales cycle and by estimating the amount of after-tax cash flows attributable to the projects. The future cash flows were discounted to present value utilizing an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return, which ranged from 21%–25%. The rate of return determination included a factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the IPR&D.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base these estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for our judgments concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments based on available information and experience. Actual results could differ from our estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from our estimates, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. For more information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in that report.

Revenues

Net revenues include the following categories: Product Licenses, License Updates, Online Services and Technical Services. Product Licenses primarily represent fees related to the licensing of the following major products:

•

Our Application Virtualization products, including XenApp;

•

Our Application Networking products, including NetScaler, Citrix Repeater and Access Gateway;

•

Our Desktop Virtualization product, including XenDesktop; and

•

Our Server Virtualization product, including XenServer.

In addition, we offer incentive programs to our channel distributors and VARs to stimulate demand for our products. Revenues associated with these programs are partially offset by these incentives to our channel distributors and VARs.

License Updates consist of fees related to our Subscription Advantage program that are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically 12 to 24 months. Subscription Advantage is an annual renewable program that provides subscribers with automatic delivery of unspecified software upgrades, enhancements and maintenance releases when and if they become available during the term of the subscription. Online Services revenues consist primarily of fees related to online service agreements and are recognized ratably over the contract term. Technical Services revenues are comprised of fees from technical support services which are recognized ratably over the contract term, as well as revenues from product training and certification, and consulting services revenue related to implementation of our products, which is recognized as the services are provided.

Technical Services		36,980		34,155		2,825

Total net revenues		369,058	$	377,034	$	(7,976	)

Product Licenses

Product License revenue decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to decreased sales of our Application Virtualization products driven by the weakness in the global economy as discussed in the Executive Summary, above. We currently expect Product License revenue to decrease when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2008 due to continued weakness in the global economy and its anticipated impact on our customers IT spending.

License Updates

License Updates revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to renewals related to our Subscription Advantage program. We currently anticipate that License Updates revenue will increase when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to expected renewals over our installed customer base; however, these increases will be at a slower rate than experienced in 2008.

Online Services

Online Services revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to increased sales of our real time application collaboration services. We currently expect Online Services revenues to continue to increase when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2008 but at a slower rate than experienced in 2008.

Technical Services

Technical Services revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to increased sales of support services related to our Application Networking products partially offset by decreases in sales of services related to the implementation of our Application Virtualization products. We currently expect Technical Services sales to decrease when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2008 consistent with the decrease in Product License revenue described above.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenues are primarily comprised of License Updates revenue from our Subscription Advantage product, Online Services revenues from annual service agreements for our online services products and Technical Services revenues related to our support services and consulting contracts. Deferred revenues increased approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 primarily due to increased renewals of our Subscription Advantage product and increased sales of our online service agreements partially offset by a decrease in sales of new Subscription Advantage product. We currently expect deferred revenues to increase in 2009 although at a slower rate when compared to 2008.

International Revenues

International revenues (sales outside the United States) accounted for approximately 43.7% of our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 46.4% of our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information on segment revenues.

Cost of Net Revenues


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 vs. March 31, 2008
	2009		2008
	(In thousands)
Cost of license revenues	$	11,494	$	11,141	$	353
Cost of services revenues		21,623		18,697		2,926
Amortization of product related intangible assets		12,099		10,593		1,506

Total cost of net revenues	$	45,216	$	40,431	$	4,785

Cost of product license revenues consists primarily of hardware, product media and duplication, manuals, packaging materials, shipping expense, server capacity costs and royalties. Cost of services revenues consists primarily of compensation and other personnel-related costs of providing technical support and consulting, as well as the costs related to our Online Services products. Also included in cost of net revenues is amortization of product related intangible assets.

Cost of product licenses revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to costs associated with inventory obsolescence reserves related to older platforms of our Application Networking products which contain hardware components partially offset by a decrease in costs associated with our Application Virtualization products as a result of lower sales. Cost of services revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to increases in sales of our Online Services products and to a lesser extent investments in platforms related to our Online Services products. Amortization of product related intangible assets increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to amortization of product related intangible assets acquired in our acquisition of Vapps and product licensing arrangements. For more information regarding our acquisition, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview” and Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We currently anticipate that cost of product license revenues will decrease when comparing the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2008 as a result of the anticipated decrease in Product License sales.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 87.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 89.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily due to the increases in cost of revenues as discussed above. We currently expect that our gross margin will remain relatively flat for the remainder of 2009 due to the factors discussed above under “—Cost of Net Revenues.”

Operating Expenses

Foreign Currency Impact on Operating Expenses

A substantial majority of our overseas operating expenses and capital purchasing activities are transacted in local currencies and are therefore subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to minimize the impact on our operating results, we generally initiate our hedging of currency exchange risks up to one year in advance of anticipated foreign currency expenses. When the dollar is weak, the resulting increase to foreign currency denominated expenses will be partially offset by the gain in our hedging contracts. When the dollar is strong, the resulting decrease to foreign currency denominated expenses will be partially offset by the aggregate loss in our hedging contracts. There is a risk that there will be fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates beyond the one year timeframe for which we hedge our risk. Due to the generally stronger dollar during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, our operating expenses benefited when converted to U.S. dollars, but this benefit was partially offset by losses in our hedging programs.

Other Items Impacting Operating Expenses

The Strategic Restructuring Program included reducing our headcount by approximately 450 full-time positions. Due to the Strategic Restructuring Program, we expect that in the second quarter of 2009, we will experience decreases in operating expenses across all functional areas including research and development, sales, marketing and services and general and administrative expenses. In addition, the reduction in our headcount is expected to result in pre-tax savings in compensation and other employee related costs of approximately $48.0 million. We also expect to continue to make strategic investments in the business during the remainder of 2009. For more information regarding the Strategic Restructuring Program see Executive Summary, above.

In addition, during the first quarter of 2009, we revised our methodology for allocating depreciation and certain facilities related costs to more closely align these allocated costs to the employees directly utilizing the assets and facilities.

	2009		2008
	(In thousands)
Research and development	$	71,037	$	71,530	$	(493	)

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel-related costs. We expensed substantially all development costs included in the research and development of our products and new functionality added to our existing products as incurred, except for certain core technologies which were technologically feasible. Research and development expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in compensation and other employee related costs due to the implementation of the Strategic Restructuring Program; partially offset by an increase in depreciation and facility related costs due primarily to the revised allocation methodology described above.

Sales, marketing and services expenses consisted primarily of personnel-related costs, including sales commissions, and the costs of marketing programs aimed at increasing revenue, such as advertising, trade shows, public relations and other market development programs. Sales, marketing and services expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in compensation and other employee related costs resulting from the implementation of the Strategic Restructuring Program as well as a decrease in marketing programs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in depreciation and other facility related costs due primarily to the revised allocation methodology described above.

On January 28, 2009, we announced the implementation of the Strategic Restructuring Program, which primarily included the reduction of our headcount by approximately 450 full-time positions. In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $20.7 million primarily related to severance and other costs directly related to the reduction of our workforce

We are also in the process of assessing the consolidation of facilities. We currently anticipate completing this assessment by the end of 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we have not vacated any space, accordingly no expenses related to the consolidation of facilities has been incurred.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets

The decrease in amortization of other intangible assets when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2009 to the three months ended March 31, 2008 was not significant. As of March 31, 2009, we had unamortized other identified intangible assets with estimable useful lives in the net amount of $80.1 million.

Interest income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to decreased interest rates earned on overall average cash, cash equivalent and investment balances. We currently expect interest income to continue to be lower for the remainder of 2009 when compared to 2008 due to the effect of lower market interest rates. For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

	(In thousands)
Other expense, net	$	(1,422	)	$	(1,791	)	$	369

Other expense, net, is primarily comprised of realized gains (losses) related to changes in the fair value of our investments that have a decline in fair value that is considered other-than-temporary and on the sale of available-for-sale investments and remeasurement of foreign currency transaction gains (losses). The decrease in other expense, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due primarily to an impairment of our investments in auction rate securities being recorded in the first quarter of 2008 that we determined to have an other-than-temporary decline in value partially offset by a decrease in gains related to our foreign currency transactions. For more information on our investments in auction rate securities, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2009, our net unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $28.8 million. There were no amounts included in the balance at March 31, 2009 for tax positions which would not affect the annual effective tax rate and approximately $0.2 million of accrued interest on tax positions, which is included in income tax expense.

We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to United States, or U.S. federal income taxes in the U.S., as well as income taxes of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2004 and 2005 in the third quarter of 2006.

We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate as part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2009, we have approximately $55.3 million in deferred tax assets. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We review deferred tax assets periodically for recoverability and make estimates and judgments regarding the expected geographic sources of taxable income and gains from investments, as well as tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

In the ordinary course of global business, there are transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain and judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. We provide for income taxes on transactions based on our estimate of the probable liability. We adjust our provision as appropriate for changes that impact our underlying judgments. Changes that impact provision estimates include such items as jurisdictional interpretations on tax filing positions based on the results of tax audits and general tax authority rulings. Due to the evolving nature of tax rules combined with the large number of jurisdictions in which we operate, it is possible that our estimates of our tax liability and the realizability of our deferred tax assets could change in the future, which may result in additional tax liabilities and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We maintain certain operational and administrative processes in overseas subsidiaries and its foreign earnings are taxed at lower foreign tax rates. We do not expect to remit earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate was approximately (12.2)% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 11.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2009 to the three months ended March 31, 2008 is due primarily to a discrete adjustment of deferred tax assets made during the first quarter of 2009 and the reduction in income before taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we generated positive operating cash flows of $81.7 million. These cash flows related primarily to net income of $6.9 million, adjusted for, among other things, non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization expenses of $34.1 million and stock-based compensation expense of $28.1 million. Also contributing to these cash inflows was an aggregate increase in cash flow from our operating assets and liabilities of $10.7 million, net of the effects of our acquisitions. Our investing activities used $137.3 million of cash consisting primarily of net purchases of investments of $112.9 million and cash paid for the purchase of property and equipment of $22.9 million. Our financing activities used cash of $0.4 million primarily related to $25.0 million of purchases made under our stock repurchase program partially offset by $24.1 million in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock-based compensation plans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we generated positive operating cash flows of $106.7 million. These cash flows related primarily to net income of $34.4 million, adjusted for, among other things, non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization expenses of $27.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $27.4 million and a recognized loss on our investments of $2.2 million. Also contributing to these cash inflows was an aggregate increase in cash flow from our operating assets and liabilities of $11.3 million, net of effects of our acquisitions. Our investing activities used $78.5 million of cash consisting primarily of cash paid for the purchase of property and equipment of $30.4 million and the expenditure of $27.7 million for licensing agreements and the purchase of core technology. Also contributing to these cash outflows were net purchases of investments of $18.2 million. Our financing activities used cash of $61.7 million primarily related to our stock repurchase program of $75.2 million partially offset by proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock-based compensation plans of $11.8 million.

Historically, significant portions of our cash inflows were generated by our operations. We currently expect this trend to continue throughout 2009. We believe that our existing cash and investments together with cash flows expected from operations will be sufficient to meet expected operating and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments


	March 31, 2009		December 31, 2008		2009 Compared to 2008
	(In thousands)
Cash, cash equivalents and investments	$	903,974	$	850,881	$	53,093

The increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments when comparing March 31, 2009 to December 31, 2008, is primarily due to cash provided by our operating activities and cash received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock-based compensation plans partially offset by expenditures made on our stock repurchases and purchases of property and equipment. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We generally invest our cash and cash equivalents in investment grade, highly liquid securities to allow for flexibility in the event of immediate cash needs. Our short-term and long-term investments primarily consist of interest-bearing securities.

Available-for-sale investments

During 2009, we recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $16.3 million , which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, related to our $50.0 million face value investment issued by AIG Matched Funding Corporation, or the AIG Capped Floater, which matures in September 2011. American International Group, Inc., or AIG, as the issuer’s parent, provided a guarantee of the security at the time of purchase, in September 2006. The unrealized loss was primarily caused by AIG experiencing liquidity challenges which were reportedly precipitated by problems in the capital markets. AIG’s lack of liquidity triggered a downgrade in the credit ratings for its long-term issues to A- and A3 by two rating agencies on October 3, 2008. As a result of AIG’s liquidity challenges, in November 2008 the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or the FRBNY, intervened with a five-year credit facility to help stabilize AIG and the overall market. In addition, on March 2, 2009, AIG announced further actions were taken in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Treasury and the FRBNY to provide AIG with additional financial stability. As of the date of this report, AIG has not been reported to have defaulted on capital repayments to holders of its recently matured debt and it continues to pay us interest on the AIG Capped Floater. Because we have the ability and intent to hold this security until a recovery of fair value, which may not occur until maturity, we do not consider the security to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

If AIG’s financial position further deteriorates, we may be required to further adjust the carrying value of the AIG Capped Floater and potentially recognize an impairment charge for an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the investment. Based on our available cash and other investments, we do not currently anticipate that the lack of liquidity caused by holding the AIG Capped Floater to recovery will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

We continue to monitor our overall investment portfolio and if the credit ratings of the issuers of our investments deteriorate or if the issuers experience financial difficulty, including bankruptcy, we may be required to make additional adjustments to the carrying value of the securities in our investment portfolio and recognize additional impairment charges for declines in fair value that are determined to be other-than-temporary.

Trading Investments

As of March 31, 2009, we held municipal auction rate securities, of which substantially all were triple-A rated, with an aggregate par value of approximately $45.5 million, whose underlying assets are generally student loans that are substantially backed by the federal government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program through investment accounts managed by UBS Financial Services, Inc., or UBS. The market for municipal auction rate securities in our portfolio began experiencing auction failures on February 13, 2008 and there have been no successful auctions for the securities held in our portfolio since the failures began. In November 2008, we formally accepted the terms of a settlement from UBS, or the Settlement. Upon accepting the terms of the

Settlement, we received an enforceable, non-transferable right, or the Put Option, that would enable us to sell our auction rate securities back to UBS during the period between June 30, 2010 and July 2, 2012 at par value. Accordingly, we recorded the fair value of the Put Option in other assets in our financial statements and contemporaneously made the fair value election as permitted by SFAS No. 159, as amended, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Therefore, we record changes in the fair value of the Put Option in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded a gain of $1.5 million related to our investments in auction rate securities and a corresponding loss of $1.5 million related to the Put Option, both of which are included in other expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure our cash flow hedges at fair value based on indicative prices in active markets and we generally measure our investments in available-for-sale securities at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Due to the illiquidity in the municipal auction rate securities market caused by failed auctions, our valuation technique for certain of our municipal auction rate securities is to measure such securities at fair value using a discounted cash flow model. In our discounted cash flow model, we used several assumptions to derive a fair value for our investments in municipal auction rate securities, including a discount rate based on the credit quality of the underlying investments and a factor to further discount the investments for the illiquidity currently present in the market for these securities. Accordingly, these trading investments are included in Level 3. Also included in Level 3 is the Put Option. In order to determine the fair value of the Put Option, we measured the differential between the aggregate par value of our auction rate securities and their fair value as of the reporting date and applied a discount rate that considers both the time period between the reporting date and the first date we will be able to exercise our right to put the auction rate securities to UBS per the terms of the Settlement and the credit worthiness of UBS.

During 2008, we measured our AIG Capped Floater using indicative pricing for another AIG security with similar terms, or the Referenced Security, which had regular trading activity, a Level 2 observation. During the first three months ended March 31, 2009, the last trade on the Referenced Security occurred on February 24, 2009. In order to capture the continued volatility in market conditions specific to AIG through March 31, 2009, we adjusted the last quoted price on the Referenced Security downward based on the direction of the trading activity observed on several other floating rate AIG debt securities with varying maturity dates. Since this adjustment required us to make assumptions that were not directly or indirectly observable regarding the AIG Capped Floater’s fair value as of March 31, 2009, it was transferred to Level 3 during the first quarter of 2009 and is included in the table below as a transfer to Level 3.

Accounts receivable, net	$	198,173		$	231,296		$	(33,123	)

The decrease in accounts receivable when comparing March 31, 2009 to December 31, 2008 was primarily due to increased collections in the first quarter of 2009 on higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2008. Our allowance for returns was $1.4 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2008. The activity in our allowance for returns was comprised primarily of $0.8 million in credits issued for stock balancing rights during 2009 partially offset by $0.6 million of provisions for returns recorded in the first quarter of 2009. The activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts was comprised primarily of $1.4 million of uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries, partially offset by additional provisions for doubtful accounts recorded during the first quarter of 2009. From time to time, we could maintain individually significant accounts receivable balances from our distributors or customers, which are comprised of large business enterprises, governments and small and medium-sized businesses. If the financial condition of our distributors or customers deteriorates, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Credit Facility

Effective on August 9, 2005, we entered into the Credit Facility with a group of financial institutions, or the Lenders. Effective September 27, 2006, we entered into an amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, or the Amendment. The Amendment decreased the overall range of interest we will pay on amounts outstanding on the Credit Facility and lowered the facility fee. In addition, the Amendment extended the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, as amended, allows us to increase the revolving credit commitment up to a maximum aggregate revolving credit commitment of $175.0 million. The Credit Facility, as amended, currently provides for a revolving line of credit that will expire on September 27, 2011 in the aggregate amount of $100.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. A portion of the revolving line of credit (1) in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million may be available for issuances of letters of credit and (2) in the aggregate amount of $15.0 million may be available for swing line loans. The Credit Facility, as amended, currently bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 0.32% and adjusts in the future in the range of 0.32% to 0.80% above LIBOR based on the level of our total debt and our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. In addition, we are required to pay an annual facility fee ranging from 0.08% to 0.20% based on the aggregate amount available under the Credit Facility, as amended, and the level of our total debt and adjusted EBITDA. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, no funds were borrowed under the Credit Facility, as amended, and as of March 31, 2009 there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, as amended.

The Credit Facility, as amended, contains customary default provisions, and we must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The primary non-financial covenants contain certain limits on our ability to pay dividends, conduct certain mergers or acquisitions, make certain investments and loans, incur future indebtedness or liens, alter our capital structure or sell stock or assets. As of March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors authorized an ongoing stock repurchase program with a total repurchase authority granted to us of $2.1 billion, of which $300.0 million was approved in April 2009. We may use the approved dollar authority to repurchase stock at any time until the approved amounts are exhausted. The objective of our stock repurchase program is to improve stockholders’ returns. At March 31, 2009, approximately $52.0 million was available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program. All shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock. A portion of the funds used to repurchase stock over the course of the program was provided by proceeds from employee stock option exercises and the related tax benefit.

We are authorized to make open market purchases of our common stock using general corporate funds. Additionally, we entered into structured stock repurchase arrangements with large financial institutions using general corporate funds in order to lower the average cost to acquire shares. These programs include terms that require us to make up-front payments to the counterparty financial institution and result in the receipt of stock during the agreement or the receipt of either stock or cash at the maturity of the agreement, depending on market conditions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we expended approximately $25.0 million on open market purchases, repurchasing 1,103,300 shares of outstanding common stock at an average price of $22.66. In addition, as of March 31, 2009, we did not have any prepaid notional amounts remaining under structured stock repurchase programs and we did not enter into any new structured stock repurchase agreements during the period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we took delivery of 2,430,500 shares at an average price of $36.15 per share from our structured repurchase agreements and we expended approximately $61.3 million on open market purchases repurchasing 1,804,400 shares of outstanding common stock at an average price of $33.98. In addition, during the period we made up-front payments of $13.9 million to certain financial institutions related to structured stock repurchase agreements.

Office Leases

We have an operating lease obligation related to a property that is not fully utilized which continues to 2018 with a total remaining obligation at March 31, 2009 of approximately $4.8 million, of which $0.9 million was accrued as of March 31, 2009, and is reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In calculating this accrual, we made estimates, based on market information, including the estimated vacancy periods and sublease rates and opportunities. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and if actual circumstances prove to be materially worse than we estimated, the total charges for these vacant facilities could be significantly higher. We currently expect that our liabilities related to operating lease obligations for properties that are not fully utilized will increase due to the Strategic Restructuring Program.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2009, our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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

Due to the nature of our business, we are subject to patent infringement claims, including current suits against us or one or more of our wholly-owned subsidiaries by Realtime Data, LLC, SSL Services, LLC, Accolade Systems LLC, and 01 Communiqué Laboratory Inc. alleging infringement by various Citrix products and services. These complaints were filed separately in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in April 2008 and in January 2007, and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in February 2006, respectively, and seek unspecified damages and other relief. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the allegations made in these complaints and intend to vigorously defend these lawsuits; however, we are unable currently to determine the ultimate outcome of these or similar matters or the potential exposure to loss, if any.

In addition, we are a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the normal course of business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, we believe that the ultimate outcomes will not materially affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
