NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1: The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Wind River Systems, Inc. (“Wind River” or the “Company”) is a global leader in Device Software Optimization (“DSO”). The Company develops, markets and sells operating systems, middleware and software development tools that allow its customers to develop, run, and manage their device products faster, better, at lower cost and more reliably. Wind River offers its customers a choice of leading real-time, proprietary operating systems and open-source-based, commercial-grade Linux operating systems. Wind River also offers its comprehensive, Eclipse-based Workbench software development suite that allows its customers to manage the design, development, debugging and testing of their device software systems, as well as leading device management solutions that allow its customers to remotely monitor and manage their devices in either lab or field environments. Wind River’s customers manufacture devices as varied as set-top boxes, automobile braking and navigation systems, mobile handsets, Internet routers, avionics control panels and coronary pacemakers.

Wind River markets its products and services in North America, EMEA (comprising Europe, the Middle East and Africa), Japan and the Asia Pacific region, primarily through its own direct sales organization, which consists of sales persons and field engineers. Wind River also licenses distributors, primarily in international regions, to serve customers in regions not serviced by its direct sales force. Wind River was incorporated in California in February 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1993.

Basis of Presentation

Wind River has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, Wind River believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Wind River’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2008.

Wind River believes that all necessary adjustments, which consist of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to state fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for Wind River’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial information of Wind River and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for stock-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns and other allowances, valuation of investments, goodwill and purchased intangibles, deferred tax assets and liabilities and income taxes, percentage of completion accounting, accrued compensation and other accruals, and the outcome of litigation and other contingencies. Wind River bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable based on the specific circumstances. Wind River’s management has discussed these estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment Information

At the beginning of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted a reorganization plan to better align its resources with its strategic business objectives. As part of this plan, the Company reorganized its operations into four product divisions. As a result of this reorganization, the Company changed its reportable segments and segment disclosures during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. In addition, the Company has recast its segment disclosures for periods prior to fiscal 2009 to present the new reportable segments. See Note 11, “Segment and Geographic Information,” for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides accounting guidance on the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Effective February 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 for its other assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 3, “Financial Instruments,” for further information regarding the Company’s fair value measurements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaced SFAS 141. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS 141, but revises certain principles, including the definition of a business combination, the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, the accounting for goodwill, and financial statement disclosure. SFAS 141R also changes the accounting of contingent purchase consideration, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and prescribes the expensing of restructuring and acquisition related costs. The adoption of SFAS 141R will change the Company’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and their effect on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Acquisition of S.C. Comsys S.R.L.

In August 2007, Wind River acquired all of the outstanding shares of S.C. Comsys S.R.L. (“Comsys”), a privately held professional services company based in Romania. The acquisition has enabled the Company to increase the number of skilled consultants in its professional services organization and to expand its service offerings throughout Europe and globally. The Company paid initial cash consideration of approximately $1.3 million, comprised of $1.2 million in cash consideration, plus acquisition related costs. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Comsys’ former shareholders a potential earn-out distribution of up to $250,000, which will be payable if certain specified future performance criteria are met. The performance criteria consist of post-acquisition services to be provided to the Company and, accordingly, the distribution amount will be accrued as compensation expense over the contingency period, provided the criteria are probable of being satisfied.

The purchase did not qualify as a business combination under SFAS 141, as the acquiree was deemed to be a development-stage operation as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the purchase was recorded as an asset acquisition and the total consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, excluding goodwill, based on their estimated fair values. Assembled workforce associated with an asset acquisition qualifies as an identified intangible asset and, therefore, the Company preliminarily allocated $1.5 million of the purchase price to assembled workforce, which represents the value of the acquired workforce-in-place.

The following table reflects the preliminary allocation of the total purchase price of $1.3 million as of the date of acquisition (in thousands, except estimated useful economic life):


	Estimated Useful Economic Life (Years)	Purchase Price Allocation
Property and equipment, net		$	63
Assembled workforce	5		1,544
Net current liabilities			(13	)
Deferred tax liability			(247	)

Total purchase price		$	1,347

The final purchase price allocation will depend primarily upon the finalization of the initial purchase price and the opening balance sheet, including the acquired intangible assets and certain accrued liabilities.

Acquisition of the RTLinux Business

In February 2007, the Company acquired the intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and associated product rights for the RTLinux business from Finite State Machine Labs, Inc. The Company paid approximately $10.1 million, comprised of $9.8 million in cash consideration, plus acquisition related costs. For additional information, see Note 2, “Acquisitions, Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

Goodwill

The following table presents goodwill by reportable segment (in thousands):


	April 30, 2008		January 31, 2008
VxWorks	$	68,822	$	68,113
Linux		14,769		14,617
Non-Core Products and Design Services		15,481		15,321
All other		16,490		16,320

Total	$	115,562	$	114,371

The change in goodwill during the three months ended April 30, 2008 is related primarily to foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), which requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by SFAS 142. At the beginning of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted a reorganization plan to better align its resources with its strategic business objectives. As part of this plan, the Company reorganized its operations into four product divisions. In connection with this reorganization, the Company changed its reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. As a result, the Company determined that an interim goodwill impairment review was required. The Company completed its review during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and the results of the review did not indicate an impairment.

Other Intangibles

Other intangibles consist of the following (in thousands):


	April 30, 2008
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Developed and core technology and patents	$	35,518	$	(33,218	)	$	2,300
Assembled workforce		1,544		(215	)		1,329
Customer relationships, contracts and agreements		17,128		(16,318	)		810

Total	$	54,190	$	(49,751	)	$	4,439


	January 31, 2008
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Developed and core technology and patents	$	35,349	$	(32,664	)	$	2,685
Assembled workforce		1,528		(136	)		1,392
Customer relationships, contracts and agreements		17,056		(16,172	)		884

Total	$	53,933	$	(48,972	)	$	4,961

The change in other intangibles, net, during the three months ended April 30, 2008 is related primarily to foreign currency translation adjustments. Developed and core technology and patents are being amortized over a weighted average period of 3.8 years. Assembled workforce is being amortized over a period of 5.0 years, and customer relationships, contracts and agreements are being amortized over a weighted average period of 4.1 years.

Note 3: Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities, including cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and derivative financial instruments, at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with SFAS 157. This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize its use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in its fair value measurements. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs that SFAS 157 establishes for measuring fair value are as follows:


Level 1:		Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2:		Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means at the measurement date.

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value measurements by level as of April 30, 2008 for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:

Money market funds	$	53,985	$	—	$	—	$	53,985
Available-for-sale investments:

Corporate debt securities		—		31,414		—		31,414
Asset backed and other securities		—		39,212		—		39,212

Total	$	53,985	$	114,706	$	—	$	168,691

Liabilities:
Derivatives	$	—	$	375	$	—	$	375

Available-for-sale Investments

The Company invests its excess operating cash in various marketable investments, including U.S. government and agency debt securities, corporate debt securities and asset backed and other debt securities. As of April 30, 2008, the Company classified all of its outstanding securities as available-for-sale. Such securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, if any, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheet until realized. Realized gains and losses are determined based upon the specific identification method and are reflected as a component of other income (expense), net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period of sale.

The Company regularly reviews its investments in unrealized loss positions for other-than-temporary impairments. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, significant quantitative and qualitative assessments and estimates regarding credit ratings, collateralization, the length of time and significance of a security’s loss position and the Company’s intent and ability to hold a security to maturity or forecasted recovery. Unrealized losses on other-than-temporarily impaired securities are recognized in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period that the Company determines that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company determined that two asset backed securities within its portfolio were other-than-temporarily impaired due to a deterioration in the quality of collateralized support, an overall under-collateralization and a significant non-recoverable decline in fair value. As a result, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $357,000 related to these securities. As of April 30, 2008, the Company determined that no other securities in its investment portfolio were other-than-temporarily impaired.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposures related to certain non-functional currency related inter-company and other balances. Transaction gains and losses on the contracts and the assets and liabilities are recognized each period in other income (expense), net. The notional amounts and fair values of the Company’s outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows at April 30, 2008 (in thousands):


	Notional Amount		Fair Value Gain (Loss)
Forward Contracts:
Purchase	$	49,319	$	45
Sell	$	12,358	$	(356	)

The Company’s derivative financial instruments generally have maturities of thirty days or less and, as of April 30, 2008, there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding with maturities in excess of one year. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Note 4: Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consist of the following (in thousands):


	April 30, 2008		January 31, 2008
Current deferred revenues:
Subscription	$	85,980	$	83,252
Maintenance and other		38,656		36,634

Total current deferred revenues		124,636		119,886
Long-term deferred revenues:
Subscription		10,460		13,237
Maintenance and other		10,130		1,410

Total long-term deferred revenues		20,590		14,647

Total deferred revenues	$	145,226	$	134,533

Deferred subscription revenues represent customer billings and payments made in advance for software licensed over a subscription period. Subscription periods vary from annual to multi-year and are classified as such. Long-term deferred revenues represent the portion of multi-year contracts that are due to be recognized as revenue in a time period greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Maintenance and other deferred revenues primarily include deferred maintenance, service and product revenues. Deferred maintenance revenues represent customer billings and payments made in advance for annual support contracts. Maintenance is typically billed on a per annum basis in advance and revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Deferred service revenues include pre-payments for software consulting and training services. Revenue for these contracts is recognized as the services are performed. Deferred product revenues primarily include software license transactions that are not separable from subscription or consulting services.

Note 5: Restructuring and Other Charges

At the beginning of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted a reorganization plan to better align its resources with its strategic business objectives and to support profitable growth in the future. As part of this plan, the Company eliminated approximately 80 positions, primarily in North America. As a result, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $2.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 related to severance, medical and outplacement benefits for terminated employees. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $127,000 related primarily to the revision of certain sublease income assumptions for a partially vacated facility in the United Kingdom.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the components of restructuring charges and other activity within the restructuring accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 (in thousands):


	Work Force Reduction			Consolidation of Excess Facilities			Other			Total
Restructuring liabilities as of January 31, 2008	$	327		$	508		$	—		$	835
Restructuring charges		2,803			81			46			2,930
Cash payments		(2,590	)		(72	)		(28	)		(2,690	)
Other adjustments		4			8			—			12

Restructuring liabilities as of April 30, 2008	$	544		$	525		$	18		$	1,087

The remaining restructuring liability as of April 30, 2008 is included as a component of accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and is related primarily to employee severance benefits and a lease obligation on the partially vacated facility in the United Kingdom. The Company expects to pay the remaining severance benefits during fiscal year 2009. The remaining lease obligation will be settled over the remaining lease term, which expires in fiscal year 2012.

Note 6: Income Taxes

The Company had a benefit from income taxes of $276,000 and a provision for income taxes of $1.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The provision for (benefit from) income taxes is based on estimates of the Company’s expected liability or benefit for domestic and foreign income taxes and foreign withholding taxes incurred during the year, and is calculated by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted for any discrete items.

Deferred income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), and are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the tax rates of laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such assets is more likely than not to occur. With the exception of primarily the U.S. jurisdiction, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that its deferred taxes will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has net deferred tax assets of $10.2 million primarily related to certain international jurisdictions and a full valuation allowance against the remainder of its deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2008.

There were no material changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended April 30, 2008. As of April 30, 2008, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits including interest totaled $16.5 million of which $1.3 million is included as a component of other long-term liabilities and $3.6 million is included as a reduction of other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. If recognized, the portion of unrecognized tax benefits that would decrease the Company’s provision for income taxes and increase net income is $5.0 million. The remaining $11.6 million balance of unrecognized tax benefits relates to deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where a full valuation allowance is recorded, which has no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $87,000 in unrecognized tax benefits could be recorded in the next 12 months as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in certain jurisdictions, which would allow the Company to meet the recognition and measurement requirements with respect to those tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable settlements within provision for income taxes on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of April 30, 2008, the Company had $125,000 accrued for interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, which are included as a component of other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The material jurisdictions that are subject to examination by tax authorities for tax years after fiscal year 2004 primarily include the U.S., the State of California, Canada, Germany, France and Japan. In addition, tax attribute carryforwards in years prior to fiscal year 2004 may also be subject to examination until they are fully utilized. The Company currently has an ongoing U.S. federal income tax examination for fiscal year 2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company received notification that its German income tax returns for calendar years 2003 through 2005 were selected for examination. The Company believes all uncertain tax positions have been sufficiently provided for in connection with the U.S. federal and German periods under examination and any other open tax year. The Company is not under examination in any other income tax jurisdiction at the present time.

Note 7: Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following table summarizes the components of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008			2007
Net income (loss)	$	462		$	(4,551	)
Other comprehensive income:
Foreign currency translation adjustments		1,955			1,938
Unrealized gain (loss) on investments		(1,523	)		480
Impairments and realized (gains) losses included in net income (loss)		(69	)		85

Other comprehensive income		363			2,503

Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	825		$	(2,048	)

Note 8: Net Income (Loss) Per Share Computation

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic net income (loss) per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of unvested restricted stock awards, outstanding options and shares issuable under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, using the treasury stock method.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008		2007
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	462	$	(4,551	)

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding- basic		85,211		85,260
Effect of dilutive potential common shares		285		—

Weighted average common shares outstanding- diluted		85,496		85,260

Net income (loss) per share
Basic	$	0.01	$	(0.05	)
Diluted	$	0.01	$	(0.05	)

The above computation excludes all anti-dilutive outstanding options, restricted stock awards and shares issuable under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, which amounted to approximately 14.7 million shares for the three months ended April 30, 2008. Since Wind River had a net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2007, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share. If the Company had recorded net income for the three months ended April 30, 2007, it would have included in the computation dilutive potential common shares totaling approximately 1.2 million shares, exclusive of anti-dilutive potential common shares, which amounted to approximately 13.7 million shares.

Note 9: Common Stock

Common Stock

Wind River’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) has approved common stock repurchase programs authorizing management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market or through negotiated transactions. Wind River may repurchase shares from time to time at management’s discretion in accordance with applicable securities laws. Repurchased shares are funded from available working capital or through the liquidation of long-term investments and are recorded as treasury stock on a last-in, first-out basis.

In June 2002, the Board approved a stock repurchase program that authorized Wind River to acquire up to $30.0 million of outstanding common stock. The Company completed this repurchase plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. In June 2007, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of outstanding common stock. The Company completed this repurchase plan in the quarter ended April 30, 2008 and in April 2008, the Board approved an additional stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $50.0 million of outstanding common stock. As of April 30, 2008, approximately $33.6 million was available for repurchases under the April 2008 stock repurchase program.

The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchase activity for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008 (1)		2007
Total cost	$	66,579	$	6,536
Number of shares repurchased		8,702		652
Average price per repurchased share	$	7.65	$	10.03

(1)	Excludes 35,588 shares repurchased from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units for a total cost of $268,000.

The Board and the Company’s stockholders have authorized the allocation of up to 300,000 shares of common stock from treasury stock each year for replenishment of the Company’s 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For fiscal 2009 and in each prior year commencing in fiscal 2004, the allocation program has provided 300,000 shares for issuance to employees under the ESPP.

Note 10: Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has adopted certain equity incentive and stock purchase plans as described in Note 10, “Stock-Based Compensation Plans,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008		2007
Cost of revenues	$	649	$	586
Selling and marketing expenses		1,469		1,420
Product development and engineering expenses (1)		929		1,183
General and administrative expenses		1,241		2,148

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,288	$	5,337

(1)	Includes stock-based compensation expense of $309,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 related to restricted stock issued in connection with the Interpeak acquisition.

Valuation Assumptions

Wind River uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock purchase rights. The fair value of each option grant or stock purchase right is estimated on the date of grant and is affected by the Company’s stock price and a number of highly complex and subjective variables including, but not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors.

The Company used the following valuation assumptions to estimate the fair value of options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007:


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008	2007
Risk-free interest rate	1.95% - 2.47%	4.46% - 4.48%
Expected life (in years)	3.8 - 5.4	3.8 - 5.3
Expected volatility	46.9% - 53.3%	39.7% - 47.7%
Dividend yield	0%	0%

The weighted average fair value of stock option awards granted during the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2.84 and $3.72 respectively.

The Company used the following weighted average valuation assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock purchase rights granted during the three months ended April 30, 2007:


		Three Months Ended
		April 30, 2007
Risk-free interest rate		5.12%
Expected life (in years)		0.2
Expected volatility		28.9%
Dividend yield		0%

The weighted average fair value of common stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP during the three months ended April 30, 2007 was $2.10. No stock purchase rights were granted during the three months ended April 30, 2008.

Stock Option Activity

The following table summarizes option activity under the Company’s equity incentive plans for the three months ended April 30, 2008 (in thousands, except exercise prices and contractual terms):


	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 31, 2008	15,340		$	11.02
Granted	922			7.30
Exercised	(39	)		6.53
Cancelled	(303	)		13.14

Outstanding at April 30, 2008	15,920		$	10.78

Vested and expected to vest at April 30, 2008	14,759		$	10.83	4.74	$	3,114
Options exercisable at April 30, 2008	10,989		$	10.91	4.31	$	2,430

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock for the 2.4 million options with exercise prices below the fair market value of the Company’s stock as of April 30, 2008. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under the Company’s stock option plans was $63,000, determined as of the date of option exercise. The Company did not realize any tax benefits in connection with these exercises due to the fact that a full valuation allowance is carried against its domestic deferred tax assets.

As of April 30, 2008, there was approximately $19.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under Wind River’s equity incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity under the Company’s equity incentive plans for the three months ended April 30, 2008 (in thousands, except fair values):


	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 31, 2008	592		$	10.14
Granted	1,041			7.12
Vested	(110	)		10.01
Cancelled	(25	)		9.77

Outstanding at April 30, 2008	1,498		$	8.06

During the three months ended April 30, 2008, the Company issued approximately 110,000 vested restricted stock units with an aggregate intrinsic value of $821,000, as determined on the vest date. At the election of employees, a majority of these vested restricted stock units were net share settled. As a result, the Company repurchased 35,588 shares of common stock from employees for a total cost of $268,000 in order to meet employee minimum statutory withholding obligations for applicable income and other employment taxes. These repurchases were recorded as treasury stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are included within financing activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

As of April 30, 2008, there was approximately $8.8 million in unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.6 years.

Note 11: Segment and Geographic Information

SFAS 131 requires disclosures of certain information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major customers. The Company historically managed its operations as one industry segment, technology for device operating systems, and operated as one segment under SFAS 131. At the beginning of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted a reorganization plan to better align its resources with its strategic business objectives. As part of this plan, the Company reorganized its operations into four product divisions: VxWorks, Linux, Tools and Common Technologies and Device Management. In addition, the Company records revenues and expenses from non-core products and design services separate from these four product divisions. As a result of this reorganization, the Company has commenced reporting its results of operations for each of the following reportable segments:

•

VxWorks. Consists of Wind River’s proprietary VxWorks real-time operating system and related products and services.

•

Linux. Comprises Wind River’s open-source-based, commercial-grade Linux operating systems and related products and services.

•

Non-Core Products and Design Services. Consists of the Company’s pSOS real-time operating system, which was acquired from Integrated Systems, Inc. in fiscal 2001, certain other non-core products and turn-key product design services.

•

All Other. Includes Wind River’s proprietary development tools and common technologies, device management products and related services.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), defined as the Company’s chief financial officer and chief executive officer, reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and in assessing financial performance. The CODM uses internal management reporting that provides revenue and segment operating income excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased and other intangibles, certain corporate marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and restructuring and other charges for evaluating the results of the segments. The CODM believes that segment operating income excluding these expenses is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operational performance of the Company’s segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, income (loss) from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The CODM does not review asset information on an operating segment basis. The Company has recast its segment disclosures for periods prior to fiscal 2009 to present these new reportable segments.

The following table presents summarized information by segment (in thousands):

Note 12: Legal Proceedings

Derivative Litigation

Between September 8, 2006 and November 15, 2006, three separate stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Alameda County, against various officers and directors of the Company and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. On December 20, 2006, the Court consolidated these actions and appointed co-lead counsel. On February 21, 2007, co-lead counsel filed a consolidated and amended complaint (Case Number RG06288009) that asserts causes of action for accounting; breach of fiduciary duty; restitution/unjust enrichment; rescission; and violation of California Corporations Code § 25402. On February 9, 2007, a fourth, substantially identical purported shareholder derivative complaint entitled Castronovo v. Berger, et al. (Case Number RG07310636) was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Alameda County. The Company filed demurrers to the complaints in the consolidated actions and the complaint in the Castronovo action. On July 17, 2007, subsequent to the filing of those demurrers, the Court approved a stipulation of the parties consolidating the Castronovo action with the three previously filed actions, thereby obviating any ruling on the Company’s demurrer to the complaint in the Castronovo action.

On February 22, 2008, before the briefing on the pending demurrers was completed, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle these derivative actions and executed a Memorandum of Understanding that outlined the general terms of the proposed settlement. On April 2, 2008, the parties executed a Stipulation of Settlement incorporating the terms of the proposed settlement. The proposed settlement, which is subject to Court approval, involves certain corporate governance changes and a payment of $750,000 by the Company to plaintiffs’ counsel for attorneys’ fees and expenses following final approval of the proposed settlement. On May 9, 2008, the Court gave its preliminary approval to the proposed settlement, and the Court scheduled a final settlement hearing for August 1, 2008 to determine whether the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, whether judgment should be entered giving final approval to the settlement and dismissing the litigation with prejudice, and whether the application of plaintiffs’ counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses should be granted. Although a final settlement has not been approved by the Court and there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these actions, the Company does not believe that their resolution will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights and employee claims. Wind River believes the outcome of its outstanding legal proceedings, claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. However, such matters involve complex questions of fact and law and could involve significant costs and the diversion of resources to defend. Additionally, the results of litigation are inherently uncertain, and an adverse outcome is at least reasonably possible.

NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 through June 6, 2008, the Company repurchased 2.2 million shares of its common stock, pursuant to a $50.0 million share repurchase program approved by Wind River’s Board of Directors in April 2008, for a total cost of $18.6 million and an average price of $8.32 per share.

Overview

Wind River is a global leader in Device Software Optimization (“DSO”). We develop, market and sell operating systems, middleware and software development tools that allow our customers to develop, run, and manage their device products faster, better, at lower cost and more reliably. We offer our customers a choice of leading real-time, proprietary operating systems and open-source-based, commercial-grade Linux operating systems. We also offer our comprehensive, Eclipse-based Workbench software development suite that allows our customers to manage the design, development, debugging and testing of their device software systems, as well as leading device management solutions that allow our customers to remotely monitor and manage their devices in either lab or field environments. Our customers manufacture devices as varied as set-top boxes, automobile braking and navigation systems, mobile handsets, Internet routers, avionics control panels and coronary pacemakers. Our operating systems are currently deployed in millions of devices.

We market our products and services in North America, EMEA (comprising Europe, the Middle East and Africa), Japan and the Asia Pacific region, primarily through our own direct sales organization, which consists of sales persons and field engineers. We also license distributors, primarily in international regions, to serve customers in regions not serviced by our direct sales force. We were incorporated in California in February 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in April 1993.

For additional information about our business and operating model, please see “—Executive Operating and Financial Summary” under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

Recent Operating Results

Our total revenues were $87.9 million and $78.0 million during the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in revenues was due primarily to growth in perpetual and term license revenues and subscription revenues. For the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, we had net income of $462,000 or $0.01 per diluted share and a net loss of $4.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share, respectively.

Our total deferred revenues increased to $145.2 million at April 30, 2008 from $134.5 million at January 31, 2008. The increase was due primarily to an increase in our deferred maintenance and other revenues, attributable to certain large multi-year transactions during the quarter.

We generated cash flows from operations of $29.7 million and $12.3 million during the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $17.4 million in first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to first quarter of fiscal 2008 due primarily to strong cash collections during the quarter.

At the beginning of fiscal 2009, we adopted a reorganization plan to better align our resources with our strategic business objectives. As part of this plan, we reorganized our operations into four product divisions: VxWorks, Linux, Tools and Common Technologies and Device Management. This realignment was designed to help us focus on new technology and market opportunities, to become more nimble and agile with customers and partners, and to drive and measure returns on our investments. As a result of this reorganization, engineering, product management, and test personnel were allocated among the four product divisions, while sales, marketing, and other operational and support staff remain organized along functional lines. In addition, we record revenues and expenses from non-core products and design services separate from these four product divisions. As a result of this change in structure, the Company has commenced reporting its results of operations for each of the following reportable segments:

•

VxWorks. Consists of our proprietary VxWorks real-time operating system and related products and services.

•

Linux. Comprises our open-source-based, commercial-grade Linux operating systems and related products and services.

•

Non-Core Products and Design Services. Consists of our pSOS real-time operating system, which was acquired from Integrated Systems, Inc. in fiscal 2001, certain other non-core products and turn-key product design services.

•

All Other. Includes our proprietary development tools and common technologies, device management products and related services.

We have recast our segment disclosures for periods prior to fiscal 2009 to present these new reportable segments.

In addition, as a result of this reorganization, we eliminated approximately 80 positions, primarily in North America, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and recognized restructuring charges of $2.8 million related to these terminations.

At the beginning of fiscal 2009, we began offering our customers the option to purchase our solutions under a multiple-year term license model with separately priced maintenance. We closed several transactions using this licensing model during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Under this model, customers are able to enter into renewable, limited-term licenses with us, which provide them with development rights to use Wind River products for a limited term rather than on a perpetual basis. These customers can also purchase support and maintenance for a separate fee on an annual, renewable basis, and may also obtain the right to receive upgrades in addition to updates. Under this model, we will also charge our customers a production license fee for every copy of our proprietary software included by our customer in each final, manufactured device.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The application of U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The policies and estimates that we believe are most critical to an understanding of our financial results and condition and that require a higher degree of judgment and complexity include:

•

Revenue recognition;

•

Estimating sales returns and other allowances, and allowance for doubtful accounts;

•

Valuation of long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangibles;

•

Valuation of investments;

•

Accounting for income taxes; and

•

Stock-based compensation.

For a more comprehensive discussion of these critical accounting policies, please see “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended April 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenues

We recognize revenues from three sources: (1) product revenues, (2) subscription revenues and (3) service revenues; in each case, net of sales returns and other allowances. Product revenues consist of revenues from production licenses (sometimes referred to as royalties), fees for stand-alone software and software programming tools sold under our perpetual and term licensing models and from sales of our hardware products. Subscription revenues consist primarily of revenues from the licensing of products and services under our enterprise licensing model including items such as development tools, operating systems, various protocols and interfaces and maintenance and support services such as installation and training, which are licensed over a limited period of time, typically 12 months. Service revenues are derived from fees from professional services, which include design and development fees, software maintenance contracts, and customer training and consulting. Generally, our customer agreements do not allow the right of return or sales price adjustments. The table below sets forth a summary of our revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007:


	Three Months Ended April 30,				Percentage of Total Revenues, net
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Product revenues	$	32,898	$	28,196	37	%	36	%
Subscription revenues		33,070		28,825	38		37
Service revenues		21,897		21,028	25		27

Total revenues, net	$	87,865	$	78,049	100	%	100	%

Total revenues increased 13% or $9.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The change was primarily due to an increased volume of product and subscription revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2008, related to increased levels of business with our customers.

Product Revenues. Product revenues are comprised of perpetual development license revenues, including hardware product revenues, term license revenues and production license revenues from both perpetual and subscription licensing. The table below sets forth information for such components:


	Three Months Ended April 30,				Percentage of Total Revenues, net
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Perpetual and term license revenues	$	13,952	$	7,497	16	%	10	%
Production license revenues		18,946		20,699	21		26

Total product revenues, net	$	32,898	$	28,196	37	%	36	%

Perpetual and term license revenues increased 86% or $6.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. Most of the increase was related to a large perpetual deal recognized during the quarter and, to a lesser extent, due to revenues recognized under our term license model, which our customers began adopting during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We expect perpetual and term license revenues and hardware revenues to increase over the remainder of fiscal year 2009 as the adoption of our term license model gains momentum.

Production license revenues decreased 8% or $1.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease relates primarily to the variability and timing of revenues derived from our license compliance programs. We expect production license revenues to remain relatively flat over the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

Subscription Revenues. Subscription revenues increased 15% or $4.2 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase resulted primarily from an increasing volume of subscription business with our customers. We expect that subscription revenues will continue to increase during the remainder of fiscal year 2009, but we expect the growth to be modest as the adoption of our term license model gains momentum.

Service Revenues. Service revenues are derived from fees for professional services, which include design and development fees, software maintenance contracts, customer training and consulting.


	Three Months Ended April 30,				Percentage of Total Revenues, net
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Maintenance revenues	$	7,931	$	7,866	9	%	10	%
Other service revenues		13,966		13,162	16		17

Total service revenues, net	$	21,897	$	21,028	25	%	27	%

Maintenance revenues increased slightly during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. Maintenance revenues have stabilized in absolute dollars, but have continued to decrease as a percentage of net revenues, due primarily to our customers’ continued adoption of our subscription-based Wind River platforms, which include maintenance as a part of the subscription fee and are recognized as subscription revenue. We expect maintenance revenues will increase during the remainder of fiscal year 2009 as our term license model gains momentum.

Other service revenues, which consist of professional services and training, increased 6% or $804,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to the recognition of a number of contracts, which had been previously deferred as the revenue recognition criteria had not been met until the current quarter. This increase was partially offset by a decline in revenues from certain large contracts that were substantially completed during fiscal 2008. During the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, we generated $6.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in revenue from fixed-price services contracts. The increase of $4.5 million was due to increased fixed-price project activity on a large contract during the quarter and due to the recognition of certain project revenues that had been previously deferred as the revenue recognition criteria had not been met until the current quarter. Fixed-price services contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Time-and-materials service contracts are recognized as services are performed. We expect other service revenues to increase over the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

Our services backlog, which represents contractual commitments for our professional services not yet billed or delivered, has increased slightly from January 31, 2008. We expect that most of our services backlog will be billed and delivered within the next 12 months, but service contracts are subject to change or termination, and management does not believe that services backlog, as of any particular date, is a reliable indicator of future performance. Our off-balance-sheet services backlog is not subject to our normal accounting controls for information that is either reported in or derived from our basic financial statements, and the concept of backlog is not defined in the accounting literature, making comparisons with other companies difficult and potentially misleading. We expect services backlog to increase over the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

Revenues by Segment


	Three Months Ended April 30,				Percentage of Total Revenues, net
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(In thousands, except percentages)
VxWorks	$	68,007	$	60,555	77	%	78	%
Linux		8,009		5,727	9		7
Non-Core Products and Design Services		5,519		5,639	6		7
All other		6,330		6,128	8		8

Total revenues, net	$	87,865	$	78,049	100	%	100	%

Our VxWorks segment comprises our proprietary VxWorks real-time operating system and related products and services. VxWorks revenues increased 12% or $7.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. Most of the increase is attributable to a large perpetual license transaction during the quarter and, to a lesser extent, due to increased demand for our VxWorks platforms licensed under our term license model.

Our Linux segment comprises our open-source-based, commercial-grade Linux operating systems and related products and services. Linux revenues increased 40% or $2.3 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase is attributable to increased demand for our Linux platforms and services.

Our Non-Core Products and Design Services segment consists of our pSOS real-time operating system, which was acquired from Integrated Systems, Inc. in fiscal 2001, certain other non-core products and turn-key product design services. Non-Core Products and Design Services revenues decreased 2% or $120,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The slight decrease is related to a decline in pSOS and design services revenues.

Our all other segment includes our proprietary development tools, common technologies, device management products and related services. All other segment revenues increased 3% or $202,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The slight increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in business from device management products, partially offset by a decline in business from our proprietary development tools and common technologies.

Revenues by Geography


	Three Months Ended April 30,				Percentage of Total Revenues, net
	2008		2007		2008		2007
	(In thousands, except percentages)
North America	$	43,768	$	46,613	50	%	60	%
EMEA		22,235		16,241	25		21
Japan		13,264		8,147	15		10
Asia Pacific		8,598		7,048	10		9

Total revenues, net	$	87,865	$	78,049	100	%	100	%

Revenues from international sales increased 40% to $44.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 from $31.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due to a 63% increase in revenues from Japan, a 37% increase in revenues from EMEA and a 22% increase in revenues from Asia Pacific. The general level of increased revenues in each geographic area resulted primarily from higher customer demand for our software and services, both domestically and internationally. In addition, the increase in Japan was due to the recognition of revenue related to a number of contracts, which had been previously deferred as the revenue recognition criteria had not been met until the current quarter. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements did not have a significant impact on international revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2008 when compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. As is the case with North America, our international revenues have also been affected by our customers’ continued adoption of subscription-based Wind River platforms, in which revenue is recognized ratably as opposed to being recognized immediately under our perpetual license model. International revenues increased to 50% of total revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to 40% of total revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase in international sales as a percentage of revenues is related primarily to a decline in revenues in North America. Our international sales are primarily denominated in United States Dollars, Euros, British Pounds and Japanese Yen. We expect international sales to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues, although the actual percentage may fluctuate from period to period.

Deferred Revenues

Our deferred revenues consist of the following:


	April 30, 2008		January 31, 2008		Dollar Change			Percent Change
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Current deferred revenues:
Subscription	$	85,980	$	83,252	$	2,728		3	%
Maintenance and other		38,656		36,634		2,022		6

Total current deferred revenues		124,636		119,886		4,750		4
Long-term deferred revenues:
Subscription		10,460		13,237		(2,777	)	(21	)
Maintenance and other		10,130		1,410		8,720		618

Total long-term deferred revenues		20,590		14,647		5,943		41

Total deferred revenues	$	145,226	$	134,533	$	10,693		8	%

Our total deferred revenues increased to $145.2 million at April 30, 2008 from $134.5 million at January 31, 2008. Most of the increase was due to multi-year maintenance revenues related to a large perpetual contract and, to a lesser extent, due to maintenance revenues related to other term licenses transactions invoiced during the quarter.

Cost of Revenues


	Three Months Ended April 30,						Percentage of Associated Revenues, net
	2008			2007			2008		2007
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Product	$	750		$	525		2	%	2	%
Subscription		4,662			4,488		14		16
Service		16,746			13,970		76		66
Amortization of purchased intangibles		528			585		—	%	—	%

Total cost of revenues	$	22,686		$	19,568

Gross profit	$	65,179		$	58,481
Gross profit percentage		74	%		75	%

The general increase in overall costs of revenues is primarily attributable to employee compensation, other personnel related costs and consulting expenses.

Cost of Product. Product-related costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for employees involved in production, other direct production costs, royalty payments to third parties for the use of their software, and shipping costs. Cost of product increased in absolute dollars, but remained relatively flat as a percentage of associated revenues, during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase in absolute dollars is primarily attributable to certain project related costs and increased employee compensation. These increases were partially offset by decreased inventory related costs. Product-related cost of revenues may be affected in the future by costs of distribution related to the introduction of new products, royalty costs for use of third-party software in our products and by the amortization of capitalized software development costs.

Cost of Subscription. Subscription-related costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for employees, other direct production costs, royalty payments to third parties for the use of their software, shipping costs and costs of providing subscription-related maintenance and support services. Cost of subscriptions increased in absolute dollars, but decreased slightly as a percentage of associated revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase in absolute dollars is related primarily to the overall increase in subscription revenues during the periods and the decrease as a percentage of associated revenues was due to costs which are relatively fixed being absorbed by a higher revenue base.

We expect cost of subscription to continue to remain relatively flat as a percentage of subscription revenue over the remainder of fiscal year 2009, based on the level of sales of our subscription-based Wind River platforms. Cost of subscriptions may be affected in the future by direct production costs, stock-based compensation for employees, amortization of capitalized software development costs, costs of distribution, royalty costs for use of third party software in our products, and the costs of providing subscription-related maintenance and support services.

Cost of Services. Service-related cost of revenues consist primarily of personnel related costs such as salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, associated with providing services, including consulting services, to customers and the infrastructure to manage a services organization, as well as costs to recruit, develop and retain services professionals. Cost of services increased both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of associated revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase is primarily related to increased compensation costs of $2.9 million, attributable to increased headcount and employee compensation, and increased facilities and information technology costs of $798,000. These increases were partially offset by decreased costs for outsourced consulting of $699,000, related to lower utilization of third-party consultants. We expect cost of services to fluctuate as a percentage of service revenues based on our ability to fully utilize our professional services organization.

Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. Amortization of purchased intangibles relates to the amortization of completed technology and assembled workforce associated with acquisitions. The decrease during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to lower amortization associated with intangibles acquired as part of the RTLinux acquisition, which were significantly impaired during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. This decrease was partially offset by increased amortization related to the Comsys acquisition, which was completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008.

We expect that amortization of purchased intangibles will remain relatively flat for the remainder of fiscal year 2009. Amortization of purchased intangibles may increase in the future should we decide to acquire further entities.

Operating Expenses

We allocate the total costs for information technology, facilities and fixed asset depreciation to each of the functional areas based on headcount data. Information technology allocated costs include salaries, employee-related costs, outside consulting costs for projects, communication costs, hardware and software maintenance contracts costs and depreciation expense for fixed assets. Facilities allocated costs include facility rent for the corporate offices as well as shared function offices, property taxes, depreciation expenses for office furniture and other department operating costs. Fixed asset depreciation allocated costs include straight-line depreciation expense on buildings, leasehold improvements, computer equipment, software, furniture and office equipment.

The general increase in absolute dollars in operating expenses relates primarily to increases in personnel expenses, professional fees, and general operating expenses.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of product and other marketing related expenses, compensation related expenses, sales commissions, facility costs and travel costs.


	Three Months Ended April 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007			Percent Change
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Selling and marketing	$	35,172		$	33,423		5	%
As a percentage of net revenues		40	%		43	%

Total selling and marketing expenses increased by $1.7 million during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase primarily reflects higher employee-related costs of $984,000, related to increased employee compensation. The increase was also attributable to higher outside consulting costs of $712,000 resulting from a higher utilization of third-party consultants in the selling and marketing organizations.

We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars over the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

Product Development and Engineering Expenses. Product development and engineering expenses consist primarily of payroll and stock-based compensation related expenses, facility costs and consulting fees for our product research and development organization.


	Three Months Ended April 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007			Percent Change
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Product development and engineering	$	20,307		$	19,881		2	%
As a percentage of net revenues		23	%		25	%

Total product development and engineering expenses increased by $426,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase primarily reflects higher employee-related costs of $1.4 million, associated with increased headcount and employee compensation, and lower customer funded research and development costs of $223,000. These increases were partially offset by decreased outside consulting fees of $1.1 million, related to the lower utilization of third-party consultants due to design work being transferred to our research and development center in China.

We expect product development and engineering expenses to increase slightly over the remainder of fiscal year 2009 as we continue to invest in new and existing products.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation-related expenses, facilities-related expenses and external fees for professional services, such as legal and accounting.


	Three Months Ended April 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007			Percent Change
	(In thousands, except percentages)
General and administrative	$	9,040		$	10,347		(13	)%
As a percentage of net revenues		10	%		13	%

Total general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.3 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease reflects lower tax, legal and accounting fees of $802,000, related to costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 for the Company’s historical stock option review and related litigation. Lower outside consulting fees and other outside services of $511,000 also contributed to the decrease and were primarily related to the decreased utilization of third-party consultants.

We expect general and administrative expenses to increase slightly over the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

Amortization of Other Intangibles

Amortization of other intangibles represents the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. The slight decrease during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007 is attributable to lower amortization associated with intangibles acquired as part of the RTLinux acquisition, which were significantly impaired during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

We expect that amortization of other intangibles will remain relatively flat for the remainder of fiscal 2009. Amortization of other intangibles may increase in the future should we decide to acquire further entities.

Restructuring Charges

At the beginning of fiscal 2009, we adopted a reorganization plan to better align our resources with our strategic business objectives and to support profitable growth in the future. As part of this plan, we eliminated approximately 80 positions, primarily in North America. As a result, we recognized restructuring charges of $2.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 related to severance, medical and outplacement benefits for terminated employees. We anticipate cost savings of approximately $7.5 million to $8.5 million in fiscal 2009 associated with our reorganization plan. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recognized restructuring charges of $127,000 related primarily to the revision of certain sublease income assumptions for a partially vacated facility in the United Kingdom.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the components of restructuring charges and other activity within the restructuring accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 (in thousands):


	Work Force Reduction			Consolidation of Excess Facilities			Other			Total
Restructuring liabilities as of January 31, 2008	$	327		$	508		$	—		$	835
Restructuring charges		2,803			81			46			2,930
Cash payments		(2,590	)		(72	)		(28	)		(2,690	)
Other adjustments		4			8			—			12

Restructuring liabilities as of April 30, 2008	$	544		$	525		$	18		$	1,087

The remaining restructuring liability as of April 30, 2008 is included as a component of accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and is related primarily to employee severance benefits and a lease obligation on the partially vacated facility in the United Kingdom. We expect to pay the remaining severance benefits during fiscal year 2009. The remaining lease obligation will be settled over the remaining lease term, which expires in fiscal year 2012.

Loss from operations	$	(2,377	)	$	(5,282	)	(55	)%

Operating income for the VxWorks segment increased 40% or $5.7 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007 as a result of increased revenues of $7.5 million. This increase was partially offset by increased expenses of $1.8 million related primarily to professional services costs.

Operating loss for the Linux segment increased by 280% or $1.7 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was related to increased expenses of $4.0 million, resulting from higher research and development and sales costs, and was partially offset by increased revenues of $2.3 million.

Operating income for the Non-Core Products and Design Services segment declined by 28% or $593,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decline is due primarily to higher costs of $473,000, related to increased cost of services, and flat revenues.

Operating loss for all other segments increased 20% or $335,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase is attributable to higher costs of $537,000, related to increased support and product costs, and flat revenues.

Stock-based Compensation

We recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008		2007
Cost of revenues	$	649	$	586
Selling and marketing expenses		1,469		1,420
Product development and engineering expenses		929		1,183
General and administrative expenses		1,241		2,148

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,288	$	5,337

The decrease in stock-based compensation during the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007 is related primarily to certain large equity grants that were fully amortized during fiscal 2008. In addition, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $309,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2007 related to restricted stock issued in connection with the Interpeak acquisition.

As of April 30, 2008, there was approximately $28.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase rights granted under our equity incentive plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

Other Income (Expense)


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008			2007
	(In thousands)
Interest income	$	2,349		$	2,146
Interest expense		(112	)		(104	)
Other income (expense), net		326			(101	)

Total other income, net	$	2,563		$	1,941

Interest Income. Interest income increased 9% or $203,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher cash, cash equivalent and investment balances during the period, partially offset by decreased yields. The average yield for the three months ended April 30, 2008 was 4.51% compared to 4.90% for the three months ended April 30, 2007. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $206.5 million and $201.0 million as of April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased slightly in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007, and is related to interest expenses and bank fees.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net increased by $427,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was primarily related to net realized gains on the maturity and sale of investments and net foreign currency gains. These increases were partially offset by other-than-temporary impairments on investments.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we determined that two asset backed securities within our investment portfolio were other-than-temporarily impaired due to a deterioration in the quality of collateralized support, an overall under-collateralization and a significant non-recoverable decline in fair value. As a result, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $357,000 related to these securities. As of April 30, 2008, we determined that no other securities in our investment portfolio were other-than-temporarily impaired.

Provision for (Benefit From) Income Taxes

We had a benefit from income taxes of $276,000 and a provision for income taxes of $1.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The provision for (benefit from) income taxes is based on estimates of our expected benefit or liability for domestic and foreign income taxes, and is calculated by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to the income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted for any discrete items. For the three months ended April 30, 2008, the estimated annual effective tax rate excluded the U.S. jurisdiction that would have resulted in recording an income tax benefit which is expected to reverse in later quarters. Our provision for (benefit from) income taxes decreased by $1.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007, due primarily to the change in year-to-date pretax income and the impact of changes in jurisdictional forecasts for the business.

Deferred income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”) and are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the tax rates of laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such assets is more likely than not to occur. With the exception of primarily the U.S. jurisdiction, we have determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred taxes will be realized. Accordingly, we have net deferred tax assets of $10.2 million primarily related to certain international jurisdictions and a full valuation allowance against the remainder of our deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2008.

Post Close Events

On May 29, 2008, we announced preliminary results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended April 30, 2008. Subsequent to this announcement, but before the completion of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we adjusted these previously announced results to record an additional benefit from income taxes of $138,000. This adjustment resulted in an increase to net income on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and an increase to prepaid and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of April 30, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $16.3 million, and cash, cash equivalents and investments of approximately $206.5 million, which included $91.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, $12.8 million of short-term investments and $101.9 million of investments with maturities greater than one year. We invest primarily in highly liquid, investment-grade instruments.

Cash Flows

Our consolidated statements of cash flows are summarized below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2008			2007
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	29,676		$	12,317
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	25,178		$	(9,370	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(66,595	)	$	(3,808	)

Operating activities primarily include the net income (loss) for the periods under consideration, non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses and changes in assets and liabilities. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, our operating activities provided net cash of $29.7 million compared to $12.3 million in the three months ended April 30, 2007.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2008, consisted of cash provided by operations of $8.4 million and a increase in cash of $21.3 million arising from changes in assets and liabilities, primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable of $15.8 million and an increase in deferred revenues of $8.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $2.7 million. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to strong cash collections during the quarter, in particular, cash received in connection with a large perpetual contract. Most of the increase in deferred revenues was due to multi-year maintenance revenues related to a large perpetual contract and, to a lesser extent, due to maintenance revenues related to other term licenses transactions invoiced during the quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2007, consisted of cash provided by operations of $4.5 million and an increase in cash of $7.8 million arising from changes in assets and liabilities, primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable of $12.3 million, offset in part by a decrease in deferred revenues of $2.7 million and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $1.4 million. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to strong cash collections during the quarter. The decrease in deferred revenues was due primarily to the ratable recognition of multi-year subscription contracts and fewer new multi-year subscription contracts being sold and was partially offset by increasing business activity levels for our subscription-based Wind River platforms within current deferred revenues.

During the three months ended April 30, 2008, cash from operations includes a net income of $462,000 and non-cash expenses primarily related to stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization of $4.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, cash from operations includes net loss of $4.6 million offset primarily by stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization of $5.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Our operating cash flows depend heavily on the level of our sales. To a large extent, our sales depend on general economic conditions affecting us and our customers, as well as the timing of new product introductions and other competitive factors and our ability to control expenses successfully.

Our investing activities provided net cash of $25.2 million and used net cash of $9.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Investing activities generally relate to the purchase of investments, business acquisitions and equipment purchases, partially offset by cash provided from the sale and maturity of investments. The acquisition of property and equipment totaled $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, our maturities and sales of investments, net of purchases, were $26.3 million compared to $3.2 million during the three months ended April 30, 2007. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, we expended cash, net of cash acquired of $10.1 million related to our acquisition of the RTLinux business.

Our financing activities used net cash of $66.6 million and $3.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, and 2007, we received $252,000 and $2.7 million respectively, due to the issuance of common stock from employee stock option exercises. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, we repurchased approximately 8.7 million shares of our common stock for approximately $66.8 million, including repurchases from employees of 35,588 shares for $268,000 to satisfy employee withholding taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, we repurchased approximately 652,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $6.5 million.

Our Board of Directors (“the Board”) has approved common stock repurchase programs authorizing us to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or through negotiated transactions. We may repurchase shares from time to time at our discretion in accordance with applicable securities laws. Repurchased shares are funded from available working capital or through the liquidation of long-term investments and are recorded as treasury stock on a last-in, first-out basis.

In June 2002, the Board approved a stock repurchase program that authorized us to acquire up to $30.0 million of outstanding common stock. We completed this repurchase plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. In June 2007, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program that authorized us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of outstanding common stock. The Company completed this repurchase plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and in April 2008, the Board approved an additional stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $50.0 million of outstanding common stock. As of April 30, 2008, approximately $33.6 million was available for repurchases under the April 2008 stock repurchase program.

Sufficiency of Cash Reserves

We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating activities, capital expenditures, and other obligations for the foreseeable future. However, if during that period or thereafter we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations or in raising additional financing when required in sufficient amounts on terms acceptable to us, our business could suffer.

We currently plan to reinvest our cash generated from operations in highly liquid, investment-grade instruments, consistent with past investment practices, and therefore net cash used in investing activities may increase. However, cash could also be used in the future for acquisitions, stock repurchases or other strategic investments.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio.

We have an investment policy that has been approved by our Board of Directors. We place our investments with high quality credit issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in our investment policy, our first priority is to reduce the risk of principal loss. Consequently, we seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in only high quality credit securities that we believe to be low risk and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity.

Our investment portfolio consists of various marketable debt securities. The longer the duration of these securities, the more susceptible these securities are to general changes in market interest rates. As general market interest rates increase, those securities purchased with a lower yield-at-cost will likely show a mark-to-market unrealized loss. All unrealized losses are due to changes in general market interest rates and bond yields. Except as noted below, we expect to realize the full value of all these investments upon their maturity.

Foreign Currency Risk

We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency exposures related to certain non-functional currency related inter-company and other balances. Transaction gains and losses on the contracts and the assets and liabilities are recognized each period in other income (expense), net. The notional amounts and fair values of our outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows at April 30, 2008 (in thousands):


	Notional Amount		Fair Value Gain (Loss)
Forward Contracts:
Purchase	$	49,319	$	45
Sell	$	12,358	$	(356	)

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our forward exchange contracts is limited as the exposure will be substantially offset by exchange rate changes of the underlying hedged amounts.

As of April 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. totaled approximately $66.3 million.

Equity Price Risk

As of April 30, 2008, there have been no material changes to our equity price risk since the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008. For further information, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2008 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

RISK FACTORS

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results or the Market Price of Our Stock

Our business faces significant risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations or have a negative impact on our stock price. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

If we do not continue to address new and rapidly changing markets and increasingly complex technologies successfully, to deliver our products on a timely basis, and to offer products that are attractive to our customers, our revenues and operating results will decline.

The Device Software Optimization market is characterized by ongoing technological developments, evolving industry standards and rapid changes in customer requirements and product offerings in the device market. In addition, customers developing different types of devices require different product offerings, features and functionality. If we fail to continually update our existing products to keep them current with customer needs or to develop new or enhanced products to take advantage of new technologies, emerging standards and expanding customer requirements, our existing products could become obsolete and our financial performance would suffer. Also, we have from time to time experienced delays in the commercial release of new technologies, new products and enhancements of existing products. These delays are commonplace in the software industry due to the complexity and unpredictability of the development work required. If we fail to commercially release new products on a regular and timely basis, our financial performance could suffer. We must effectively market and sell new product offerings to key customers, because once a customer has designed a product with a particular operating system, that customer typically is reluctant to change its supplier due to the significant related costs. If we cannot adapt or respond in a cost-effective and timely manner to new technologies and new customer requirements, or if the new products we develop are not attractive to our customers, sales of our products could decline.

If we do not select the right areas for investment or the right vertical markets in which to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts or if we are not successful in implementing or developing new business initiatives or if new business initiatives adversely affect our other businesses, our financial performance could suffer.

We regularly evaluate new products, technologies, business models and strategic business initiatives. For example, in response to growing customer interest in open-source software solutions, we began offering open- source products and services in 2005 and our open-source business has become an increasingly important part of our business. In addition, at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, we adopted a strategic plan to focus increased engineering, sales and marketing resources in certain targeted growth product areas, including Linux platforms, device management solutions, Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS), aerospace and defense security solutions and multiprocessing capabilities. Investments in new business areas or strategic business initiatives can be expensive and time consuming and can divert management attention and internal resources away from other business opportunities. If we do not select the right areas for investment or if we are not successful in implementing or developing new business initiatives or if new business initiatives adversely affect our other businesses, our financial performance could suffer.

In addition, we regularly target certain vertical markets in which we concentrate increased sales and marketing efforts. We are now concentrating increased sales and marketing efforts in certain targeted growth vertical markets, including aerospace and defense (especially MILS), network equipment, mobile handsets, industrial, automotive infotainment, mobile Internet devices, and digital living. Many of these markets have experienced and may continue to experience rapid technological changes and industry consolidations and other disruptions. If we do not select the right vertical markets in which to concentrate our sales and marketing efforts or if these markets change or fail to grow as we anticipate or if we are not successful in licensing our products to customers in these targeted markets, our financial performance could suffer.

Our adoption of a reorganization plan may cause disruptions in our business and operations and will result in restructuring and other charges.

In fiscal year 2008, our organization was structured along functional lines. At the beginning of our fiscal year 2009, we adopted a reorganization plan to better align our resources with our strategic business objectives. As part of this reorganization plan, we reorganized our operations into four product divisions: VxWorks, Linux, Tools and Common Technologies and Device Management. This management reorganization may divert the attention of management from business and operational issues and may affect product development or marketing plans or schedules. If we did not choose the correct strategy and investments for our reorganization, or if we are unable to execute effectively on the new strategy and organizational structure, we may not be able to meet the needs of our customers and partners for products and services. We must effectively manage the implementation of our new organizational structure to avoid any resulting confusion or conflict that might affect our ability to respond to our customers and partners in a nimble and agile manner, which could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As part of this reorganization plan, we eliminated approximately 80 positions during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We have incurred restructuring and other charges of $3.2 million in connection with this reorganization plan, related primarily to cash severance costs, and we may incur additional costs throughout the remainder of fiscal 2009.

If we fail to grow our open-source business, our revenues and operating results could decline or could fail to grow. As our Linux products compete with open-source software that is available publicly at little or no cost, there can be no assurance that our customers will determine that our open-source products offer a compelling value proposition or that we will be successful in licensing our Linux products on profitable terms.

We have been offering Linux platforms since 2005. Our Linux platform business has become an increasingly important part of our business as Linux has been increasingly adopted by device manufacturers for more device applications and as growth in our proprietary VxWorks business has slowed. We anticipate that our Linux business will be the fastest-growing part of our business in the near future. If we fail to grow our Linux business, our revenues and operating results could decline or could fail to grow as much as we anticipate.

We cannot be certain whether any of our current or future open-source product offerings will be successfully adopted by new or current customers. In addition, even if our open-source products are adopted by our customers, they may not be profitable. Our open-source products compete with, among other things, open-source software that is otherwise publicly available for little or no cost. There can be no assurance that our customers will determine that our open-source products offer a compelling value proposition or that we will be successful in licensing our products on profitable terms. Very few open-source software companies have been profitable. To date, our open-source-based business has not been profitable, and we may not be able to generate profits in this business in the future.

As part of our open-source strategy, we are investing in and promoting the efforts of various industry consortia and standard setting organizations, and expect that industry consolidation in support of these specific standards and software will position us well to benefit from market convergence on the standards and software that we support. However, there can be no assurance that the consortia or standards organizations in which we choose to participate will be adopted by the marketplace, and if they are not we may have diverted our resources away from alternative strategies and product development that may instead become the marketplace leaders. Our strategy also anticipates that we will work closely with hardware and software partners to increase the adoption of our Linux-based products, and that we may also benefit from the development or distribution efforts these partners may provide related to our open-source products. If we are not able to successfully motivate our partners to support our open-source product development and distribution efforts, our products and services may not be adopted downstream by shared customers.

While we attempt to grow our open-source-based business, we simultaneously continue to offer our proprietary software products to the marketplace. It is possible that our efforts to grow our open-source business could result in a decline in sales of our proprietary software either as a result of a diversion of internal resources or customer preference. If such sales declines were to occur, our revenues and earnings could be adversely affected.

Our open-source products may subject us to increased legal risks.

As our products that are distributed with open-source software components are increasingly adopted (and as we expand our portfolio of products both through internal development and acquisition of technology, such as that acquired from Interpeak and FSMLabs), we may face increased legal risks that could affect our future ability to develop or sell our open-source products.

The language of the open-source licenses that govern software we distribute with our products is at times ambiguous, which creates vulnerability to third-party allegations of non-compliance with terms of applicable open-source licenses. For instance, we distribute open-source software with (and in some cases incorporate open-source software into) our products, including certain open-source software components subject to the GPL. Distributing or combining open-source software with or into our products creates some risk that the GPL (or other applicable open-source software license) will be interpreted in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our products, including a requirement to disclose our own products in source code form. We take steps to ensure that proprietary software that we do not wish to disclose in source code form is not distributed or combined with open-source software in ways that would require such proprietary software to be made subject to an open-source software license. However, few courts have interpreted open-source software licenses, and the manner in which these licenses may be interpreted and enforced remains uncertain. With the growth in our professional services and engineering efforts related to open-source software, we may become increasingly vulnerable to third-party allegations that our own development efforts or technology have resulted in infringing work or work that has unintentionally become subject to open-source obligations. As we grow and develop our open-source strategy and business, we may also become subject to challenges that other aspects of our business model or strategy do not comply with applicable open-source licenses. Even if no legal pronouncement is made, if the informal developer communities comprising the open-source software movement adopt a negative position toward our business or development efforts, they may cease their support of our company and this disruption in our relationship with the open-source software community could adversely affect our ability to effectively market and sell open-source products.

Our open-source strategy may also make us increasingly vulnerable to claims that our products infringe third-party intellectual property rights, as many of the open-source software components we may distribute with our products are developed by numerous independent parties over whom we exercise no supervision or control and who therefore may have engaged in infringing acts while developing the open-source software without our knowledge. This risk is further exacerbated by our lack of access to unpublished software patent applications. Defending claims of infringement, even claims without significant merit, can be expensive. An adverse legal decision affecting our intellectual property could materially harm our business.

In addition, it is possible that a court could hold the GPL to be unenforceable through a legal challenge, or that someone could assert a claim for proprietary rights in a program developed and distributed under them. If an open-source license that applies to the licensing of components of our open-source products is found to be partially or completely unenforceable, or if there are claims of infringement, we could be required to obtain licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our products, reengineer our products, or discontinue the sale of our products in the event reengineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis. An adverse legal decision affecting our intellectual property or the terms upon which we license our products could materially harm our business.

Uncertainty regarding the legal risks related to open-source software components could affect sales of our open-source products generally. Some of our potential customers may be reluctant to incorporate open-source software into their own products if they perceive significant risks that their own software systems could become subject to GPL licensing terms.

Also, as a vendor of software intended to be embedded into Linux-based devices, we may be subject to claims based on actions by our customers or device end users in their use of open-source code received from us. For instance, if our customers develop and distribute software received from us in a manner that violates GPL licensing terms or infringes third party intellectual property rights, we may be subject to legal claims under such theories as contributory infringement, inducing infringement or vicarious liability.

Finally, as a result of legal concerns about open-source software, we are facing increased pressure from our customers to adopt additional indemnification or otherwise protect them from potential threats by third parties related to open-source software. We have in the past agreed to indemnify certain of our customers against certain potential liabilities associated with our open-source products and we may decide to revise or expand our indemnification policies and practices in the future to address customer requirements. Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if we have to indemnify our customers for the liabilities posed by open-source software.

Our mix of licensing models and professional services revenues impacts the timing of our reported revenues, and our inability to accurately manage the volume of business expected for each licensing model and the relative mix of professional services revenues could increase fluctuations in our revenue and financial results.

Because we license our development products under business models that recognize revenue differently, the rate of adoption of license models by our customers impacts the timing of our reported revenues. Under our subscription license model, revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription period. By contrast, our perpetual and term license models require a majority of license revenues to be recognized in the quarter in which the products are delivered and a smaller amount relating to the fair value of the maintenance is deferred and recognized subsequently over the maintenance period. An order for a subscription-based license will result in lower current-quarter revenue than an equal-sized order for a perpetual license. As a result, our reported revenues are affected by the selection of license model type by our customers. In addition,

our ability to recognize revenues can be deferred when a transaction includes multiple elements. There is a risk that we will not be able to continue or increase our rate of adoption of our subscription-based, perpetual-based or term-based license models, or that we may choose to focus our sales efforts and resources on particular, significant perpetual, term or subscription license opportunities that may or may not result in a sale. The impact on revenues and deferred revenues will continue to depend on the rate at which customers license products under our perpetual, term or subscription license models or under multiple element arrangements. If we are unable to manage the rate of adoption of our license models by our customers at any time, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be negatively affected.

In addition, although our subscription licenses represent a potential source of renewable license revenue, there is also a risk that new and transitioned customers will not renew their licenses at the end of the subscription term. There is a further risk that the more complex and time consuming negotiations subscription licenses may affect our ability to close such transactions, and that customers who purchase subscription licenses may spend less in the aggregate over the term of the subscription license than if they had been required to purchase perpetual licenses. The impact on revenues and deferred revenues will continue to depend on the rate at which customers license products under our perpetual, term or subscription license models. In addition, an increase in the number of subscription license renewals or multi-year terms may result in larger deferred revenues. To the extent that the subscription licensing rate is higher than we expect, we may experience a larger decline in revenues, as well as an increase in deferred revenues.

Our revenues for any period and our deferred revenues at the end of any period can also be affected by the extent to which customers retain us to provide professional services rather than licensing our software solutions. We have noticed an increasing number of services-led engagements with our customers and our professional services are becoming an increasingly important enabler to sales of our products. We have experienced increased demand for our professional services as market and industry conditions change rapidly. We believe that more customers are opting to retain us to provide professional services to them in order to develop and/or prove a concept in advance of licensing our software solutions from us. Revenues from service engagements are generally recognized when the contracted services are performed and contracted future revenue from services engagements is included in deferred revenue and/or services backlog. Services backlog is not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the relative size of our services revenues as compared to our other revenues can affect our operating margins and earnings as we typically realize smaller operating margins on earnings generated from services engagements than earnings derived from licenses of our software solutions.

Because a significant portion of our revenues continues to be derived from production licenses, we are dependent upon the ability of our customers to develop and penetrate new markets successfully.

Our production license revenues depend both upon our ability to successfully negotiate production license agreements with our customers and, in turn, upon our customers’ successful commercialization of their underlying products. As our open-source business grows, we may not be able to rely on receiving per unit fees from our customers. For our open-source business, we may instead need to rely on other fees to compensate for the production license fees that we have traditionally received for our proprietary products. Also, we derive significant revenues from customers that develop products in highly competitive and technologically complex markets such as the Internet infrastructure, server and storage, digital consumer, aerospace and defense, industrial control and automotive markets. If these customers sell fewer products or otherwise face significant economic difficulties, our revenues will decline. We cannot control our customers’ product development or commercialization or predict their success. In addition, we depend upon our customers to accurately report the use of their products in order for us to collect our revenues from production licenses. If our customers are not successful with their products or do not accurately report use of their products to us, our production license revenues may decline significantly.

Numerous factors may cause our total revenues and net income to fluctuate significantly from period to period. These fluctuations increase the difficulty of financial planning and forecasting and may result in decreases in our available cash and declines in the market price of our stock.

A number of factors, many of which are outside our control, may cause or contribute to significant fluctuations in our total revenues and net income. These fluctuations make financial planning and forecasting more difficult. In addition, these fluctuations may result in unanticipated decreases in our available cash, which could negatively impact our operations. As discussed more fully below, these fluctuations also could increase the volatility of our stock price. Factors that may cause or contribute to fluctuations in our revenues and net income include:

•

acceptance by our customers of our current and new product offerings;

•

the number and timing of orders we receive, including disproportionately higher receipt and shipment of orders in the last month of the quarter;

•

changes in the length of our products’ sales cycles, which increase as our customers’ purchase decisions become more strategic and are made at higher management levels;

•

reductions in the number of engineering projects started by our customers due to their own difficult financial or economic conditions;

•

the impact of impairment charges arising from past acquisitions;

•

the success of our customers’ products from which we derive our production license revenues;

•

the mix of our revenues as between sales of products that have more upfront revenue, subscriptions that have more deferred revenues and services which have lower profit margins;

•

our ability to control our operating expenses, and fully realize the impact of the restructuring plans we have implemented;

•

our ability to continue to develop, introduce and ship competitive new products and product enhancements quickly;

•

possible deferrals of orders by customers in anticipation of new product introductions;

•

announcements, product introductions and price reductions by our competitors;

•

our ability to manage costs for fixed-price consulting agreements;

•

seasonal product purchases by our customers, which historically have been higher in our fourth fiscal quarter;

•

the impact of, and our ability to react to, natural disasters and/or events of terrorism;

•

the impact of, and our ability to react to, business disruptions arising from or relating to internet or computer viruses service interruptions;

•

changes in business cycles that affect the markets in which we sell our products and services;

•

economic, political and other conditions in the United States and internationally;

•

foreign currency exchange rates;

•

the impact of changes to existing accounting pronouncements; and

•

the impact of any stock-based compensation charges arising from the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights or any other stock-based awards.

One or more of the foregoing factors may cause our operating expenses to be disproportionately high or may cause our net revenues and net income to fluctuate significantly. Results from prior periods are thus not necessarily indicative of the results of future periods.

We face intense competition in the Device Software Optimization industry, which could decrease demand for our products or cause us to reduce our prices.

The Device Software Optimization industry is characterized by rapid change, new and complex technology and intense competition. Our ability to maintain our current market share depends upon our ability to satisfy customer requirements, enhance existing products and develop and introduce new products. Due to the complexity of the markets in which we operate, where our customers often develop device systems in-house, it is difficult to assess the impact of competition on our business and our related share of these markets. We have faced increasing competition in recent years as customers have decreased research and development budgets, sought to increase the value they receive from vendors, including us, attempted to leverage a more competitive bidding process when spending research and development budgets and/or deferred or canceled projects, in whole or in part. As a result, we believe that some customers have elected not to purchase our products and have chosen to undertake such development in-house, selected solutions they perceive to be less expensive or relied upon existing licenses from us rather than making new purchases. We expect the intensity of competition to increase in the future. Increased competitiveness may result in reductions in the prices of our products, royalties and services, lower-than-expected gross margins or loss of market share, any of which would harm our business.

Our primary competition comes from internal research and development departments of companies that develop device systems in-house. In many cases, companies that develop device systems in-house have already made significant investments of time and effort in developing their own internal systems, making acceptance of our products as a replacement more difficult. Additionally, many of these in-house departments may increasingly choose to use open-source software, such as the Linux operating system. We also compete with independent software vendors and, to a limited extent, with open-source software vendors. Some of the companies that develop device systems in-house and some of these independent software vendors, such as Microsoft Corporation, have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, sales and other resources and significantly greater name recognition than we do.

Demands for rapid change and the increasing complexity of the technology in our industry intensify the competition we face. In addition, our competitors may consolidate or establish strategic alliances to expand product offerings and resources or address new market segments. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. These factors favor larger competitors that have the resources to develop new technologies or to respond more quickly with new product offerings or product enhancements. We may be unable to meet the pace of rapid development set by our competitors or may incur additional costs attempting to do so, which may cause declines in our operating results. Our competitors may foresee the course of market developments more accurately than we do and could in the future develop new technologies that compete with our products or even render our products obsolete, any of which could adversely affect our competitive position and therefore our operating results.

Our significant international business activities subject us to increased costs and other risks.

We develop and sell a substantial percentage of our products internationally. For the three months ended April 30, 2008, revenues from international sales were $44.1 million, or 50% of total revenues. Additionally, we have investments in, or have made acquisitions of, companies located outside the United States. Over the long term, we expect to continue to make investments to further support and expand our international operations and increase our direct sales force and distribution network in EMEA, Japan and Asia Pacific. In particular, we intend to increase significantly our engineering and professional services resources in China, Romania and Canada. Risks inherent in international operations include:

•

the imposition of governmental controls and regulatory requirements;

•

the costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;

•

differences in business cultures and sales cycles;

•

differences in operation and sales support expenses;

•

unexpected changes in tariffs, import and export restrictions and other barriers and restrictions;

•

greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;

•

other increased costs of doing business;

•

restrictions on repatriation of earnings;

•

exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates;

•

the costs and difficulties associated with complying with a variety of foreign laws and domestic laws applicable to foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

•

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign subsidiaries and branch operations;

•

increased risks of intellectual property infringement and less stringent intellectual property protection laws;

•

the costs and risks of operating in countries experiencing geopolitical conflict and/or terrorism;

•

the effect of our adoption of global pricing models;

•

difficulties in integrating products and operations from foreign acquisitions;

•

the impact of local health and political crises that prohibit or severely limit travel or other interaction with a local economic market;

•

exposure to local economic slowdowns; and

•

the need to guarantee credit instruments extended to support foreign operations.

Any of these events, regionally and as a whole, could reduce our international sales and increase our costs of doing business internationally and have a material adverse effect on our gross profit and net operating results.

Patent, trademark or copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation or product liability claims against us may result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to expend significant resources. In addition, patent or copyright claims may require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements.

We occasionally receive communications from third parties alleging patent, trademark or copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation or other intellectual property claims, and there is always the chance that third parties may assert infringement claims against us or against our customers under circumstances that might require us to provide indemnification. Growth of our open-source business increases this risk in part because many of the open-source software components that we may incorporate into or distribute with our products are developed by numerous independent parties over whom we exercise no supervision or control. Additionally, because our products are increasingly used in applications, such as network infrastructure, transportation, medical and mission-critical business systems, in which the failure of the device system could cause property damage, personal injury or economic loss, we may face product liability claims.

Although our agreements with our customers contain provisions intended to limit our exposure to infringement and liability claims, our agreements may not be effective in limiting our exposure in all circumstances. Any of these types of claims, with or without merit, could result in claims for indemnification by us or costly litigation, could require us to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or remedy product defects, cause product shipment delays or require us to pay significant damages if the claims are successful. In the case of infringement of another party’s intellectual property, we may be required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; however, we cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not successful in defending these claims or, with respect to infringement claims, were to fail to obtain royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

The rights upon which we rely to protect the intellectual property underlying our products may not be adequate, which could enable third parties to use our technology without our permission and reduce our ability to compete.

Our success depends significantly upon the proprietary technology contained in our products. We currently rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in our technology and products. We cannot be certain that the steps that we take to protect our intellectual property will adequately protect our rights, that others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology, or that we can maintain our technology as trade secrets. In addition, discovery and investigation of unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult. We expect software piracy, which is difficult to detect, to be a persistent problem, particularly in those foreign countries where the laws may not protect our intellectual property as fully as in the United States. The risks that we face may increase as we conduct more research and development activities in China, Romania, Israel and other foreign countries. Employees, consultants, and others who participate in the development of our products may breach their agreements with us regarding our intellectual property. We might not have adequate remedies for infringement or breach of our proprietary rights by third parties, employees or consultants. Further, we have in the past initiated, and in the future may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement or breach of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Whether or not such litigation is determined in our favor, such actions could result in significant expenses to us, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from productive tasks or cause product shipment delays.

The costs associated with acquisitions and investments could disrupt our business and harm our operating results.

We anticipate that, as part of our business strategy, we will continue to evaluate acquisition and investment opportunities in businesses, products and technologies that complement ours. These investments and acquisitions can be expensive and often require us to dedicate significant time and resources to the process. We have incurred significant costs in connection with acquisition transactions in prior fiscal years and may incur significant costs in connection with future transactions, whether or not they are consummated. Acquisitions involve additional risks including, among others, difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies; diverting management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business; and potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process research and development. If we cannot successfully manage the integration of businesses we may acquire or are unable to realize the benefits of, or anticipated revenues from, our acquisitions, our business, financial condition and operating results could suffer.

If revenues associated with acquired businesses do not meet our original expectations, acquisitions may result in charges relating to impairment of acquired goodwill and purchased intangibles.

If our strategic relationships are not successful, our product offerings, distribution and/or revenues may be adversely impacted.

We have many strategic relationships with semiconductor companies, circuit board manufacturers, system manufacturers, other software companies, customers and others. In addition, we are playing an increasingly active and important role in open-source development projects and industry consortia. These strategic relationships and industry consortia are complex. Some of the companies that are our strategic partners in certain business areas or industry consortia are also our competitors in some business areas. Our strategic partners may also have concurrent relationships with other companies that provide open-source, proprietary or in-house solutions, which may put pressure on our product development roadmaps, timelines and prices. If we are not successful in developing and maintaining these strategic relationships, our business may be harmed. If our collaborative marketing and distribution agreements terminate or expire, the scope of our product offerings may be restricted, and the distribution of our products and our revenues may be adversely impacted.

The costs of software development can be high, and we may not realize revenues from our development efforts for a substantial period of time.

Introducing new products that rapidly address changing market demands requires a continued high level of investment in research and development. If we are required to undertake extensive capital outlays to address changes in the device software optimization market, we may be unable to realize revenue as soon as we may expect. The costs associated with software development are increasing, including the costs of acquiring or licensing new technologies. Our investment in new and existing market opportunities prior to our ability to generate revenue from these new opportunities, if we are able to capitalize on these opportunities at all, may adversely affect our operating results.

Because certain of our customers provide products and services to U.S. Government agencies, as their supplier we may be subject to unique risks that could increase our costs and make revenue related to these customers more difficult to predict.

As a subcontractor to the U.S. Government, we must comply with and are affected by certain laws and regulations related to the award, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts and other regulations particularly related to the aerospace and defense industry, such as export control regulations including International Traffic in Arms Regulations. In addition, under applicable regulations, various audit agencies of the U.S. government conduct regular audits of contractors’ compliance with a variety of U.S. government regulations and have the right to review retroactively the financial records under most U.S. government contracts. Further, as a U.S. Government subcontractor, we are subject to an increased risk of investigation, criminal prosecution, civil fraud, whistleblower lawsuits and other legal actions and liabilities to which purely private sector companies are not. This increases our internal procedures and costs, and as well, we may face an increased risk of non-compliance as these processes and rules requirements involve separate processes that are outside our standard, commercial practices.

In addition, our contracts with customers providing products and services to the U.S. government are subject to uncertainty since their governmental contracts are subject to U.S. government appropriations that are changeable and determined on an annual basis. Also, the U.S. government has the right to modify, curtail or terminate customer contracts, which would result in corresponding changes to our contracts with our customers. Some of our contracts are subject to contract accounting, which requires judgment relative to assessing risk, estimating contract revenues and costs and making assumptions regarding scheduling and technical issues. Because of these risks, it is difficult to predict anticipated future revenues attributable to government related subcontracts. If we do not effectively manage these risks, our operating results could be materially negatively impacted.

If we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business may be harmed.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management, engineering, sales and other personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace. We believe our future success will also depend, in large part, upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, engineering, sales and other personnel, and upon the ability of management to operate effectively, both individually and as a group, in geographically disparate locations. In addition, our past reductions in force could potentially make attracting and retaining qualified employees more difficult in the future. The loss of the services of any of our key employees, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly engineers and sales personnel, could delay the development and introduction of, and negatively affect our ability to sell our products.

In addition, companies in the software industry whose employees accept positions with competitors may claim that their competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices or that there will be inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information. We may be subject to such claims in the future as we seek to hire additional qualified personnel. Such claims could result in material litigation. As a result, we could incur substantial costs in defending against these claims, regardless of their merits, and be subject to additional restrictions if any such litigation is not resolved in our favor.

Changes to existing accounting pronouncements or taxation rules or practices may cause adverse revenue fluctuations and affect our results of operations or how we conduct our business.

A change in any accounting pronouncements or taxation rules or practices can have a significant effect on our results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements or taxation rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements or taxation practice have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

The complexity of accounting regulations and related interpretations and policies, particularly those related to revenue recognition, could materially affect our financial results for a given period.

Although we use standardized agreements designed to meet current revenue recognition criteria under generally accepted accounting principles, we must often negotiate and revise terms and conditions of these standardized agreements, particularly in multi-element license and services transactions. As our transactions have increased in complexity, particularly with the sale of larger, multi-element transactions, negotiation of mutually acceptable terms and conditions may require us to defer recognition of revenue on such licenses. We believe that we are in compliance with Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended; however, more complex, multi-element transactions require additional accounting analysis to account for them accurately. Errors in such analysis in any period could lead to unanticipated changes in our revenue accounting practices and may affect the timing of revenue recognition, which could adversely affect our financial results for any given period. If we discover that we have interpreted and applied revenue recognition rules differently than prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., we could be required to devote significant management resources, and incur the expense associated with an audit, restatement or other examination of our financial statements.

Business interruptions could adversely affect our business.

Wind River’s operations and the operations of its vendors and customers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure and other events beyond our control. For example, a substantial portion of Wind River’s facilities, including our corporate headquarters, is located near major earthquake faults. In the event of a major earthquake, we could experience business interruptions, destruction of facilities and loss of life. We do not carry earthquake insurance and we have not set aside funds or reserves to cover such potential earthquake-related losses. In the event that a material business interruption occurs that affects Wind River or our vendors or customers, shipments could be delayed and our business and financial results could be harmed.

Our common stock price is subject to volatility.

In recent years, the stock markets in general and the shares of technology companies in particular have experienced extreme price fluctuations. These recent price fluctuations are not necessarily proportionate to the operating performance of the companies affected. Our stock price has similarly experienced significant volatility. As reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, during the three months ended April 30, 2008, our stock had an intra-day high sales price of $8.92 and an intra-day low sales price of $6.07. During fiscal year 2008, our stock had an intra-day high sales price of $13.42 and an intra-day low sales price of $7.88. In some of our past fiscal quarters, we experienced shortfalls in revenue and earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and investors, which have had an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. These factors relating to the fluctuations in our revenues and net income may continue to affect our stock price. Comments by, or changes in estimates from, securities analysts as well as significant developments involving our competitors or our industry could also affect our stock price. In addition, the market price of our common stock is affected by the stock performance of other technology companies generally, as well as companies in our industry and our customers in particular. Other broad market and industry factors may negatively affect our operating results or cause our stock price to decline, as may general political or economic conditions in the United States and globally, such as recessions, or interest rate or currency fluctuations. In particular, the stock market may be adversely impacted, or experience unusual volatility, as a result of the outbreak of armed conflict or hostilities involving the United States or incidences of terrorism in, or directed at, the United States or its allies.

General economic weakness and geopolitical factors may harm our operating results and financial condition.

Our results of operations are dependent to a large extent upon the state of the global economy. General economic weakness or weaker economic conditions in the United States, Europe or the Asia-Pacific region could adversely our customers and our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, geopolitical factors such terrorist activities, armed conflict or global health conditions that adversely affect the global economy may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Provisions in our charter documents, customer agreements, and Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control of Wind River, which could hinder stockholders’ ability to receive a premium for our stock.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or consolidation that a stockholder may consider favorable. These provisions include:

•

authorizing the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval;

•

limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;

•

prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent; and

•

requiring super-majority voting to effect amendments to certain provisions of Wind River’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Certain provisions of Delaware law also may discourage, delay, or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us, and our agreements with certain of our customers require that we give prior notice of a change of control. Our various anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in control of the Company, which could hinder stockholders’ ability to receive a premium for our stock.
