Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Description of Business

SERENA Software, Inc. (“SERENA” or the “Company”) is the largest global independent software company in terms of revenue solely focused on managing change and processes across information technology, or IT, environments. The Company’s products and services primarily address the complexity of application lifecycle management, or ALM, and are used by customers to manage the development of, and control change in, mission critical applications within both mainframe and distributed systems environments. In addition, the Company provides products and services to enable customers to rapidly address IT service management, or ITSM, and business process challenges through the use of visually designed process workflows. The Company’s products and services allow customers to orchestrate and manage their application development, IT and business processes by automating and integrating disparate ALM and ITSM products and processes, improving process visibility and consistency, enhancing software integrity, mitigating application development risks, supporting auditability and regulatory compliance, and boosting productivity. The Company’s revenue is generated by software licenses, maintenance contracts and professional services. The Company’s software products are typically installed within customer IT environments and generally accompanied by renewable annual maintenance contracts.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 2, 2011. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

(d) Spyglass Merger Corp.

On March 10, 2006, Spyglass Merger Corp., an affiliate of Silver Lake, a private equity firm, merged with and into us, a transaction we refer to in this report as the merger. As a result of the merger, our common stock ceased to be traded on the NASDAQ National Market and we became a privately-held company, with approximately 56.5% of our common stock at the time of the merger on a fully diluted basis owned by investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake.

(2)

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is typically measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company has elected the graded-vesting attribution method for recognizing stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of awards as though the awards were, in substance, multiple awards.

2006 Stock Incentive Plan

Following the completion of the Merger on March 10, 2006, the Company established a new stock incentive plan, the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), governing, among other things, the grant of options, restricted stock bonuses, and other forms of share-based payments covering shares of the Company’s common stock to our employees (including officers), directors and consultants. The Company’s common stock representing 12% of outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Merger was reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan are either “time options” that would vest and become exercisable over a four-year period or “time and performance options” that would vest based on the achievement of certain performance targets over a five-year period following the date of grant. All options granted under the 2006 Plan will expire not later than ten years from the date of grant, but generally will terminate earlier upon termination of employment. In the event of a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a merger or acquisition of the Company, the Board of Directors may provide that awards granted under the 2006 Plan will be cashed out, continued, replaced with new awards that substantially preserve the terms of the original awards, or terminated, with acceleration of vesting of the original awards determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

In the quarter ended October 31, 2009, the Company completed a tender offer permitting all eligible employees and its independent directors to exchange, on a one-for-one basis, stock options granted under the 2006 Plan for new stock options granted under Serena’s Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2006 Plan”) having a lower exercise price and different vesting terms. Eligible optionholders exchanged part or all of their time-based options for new time-based options having a vesting period, generally, of three years and an exercise price of $3.00 per share, the fair market value of Serena’s common stock after the closing of the tender offer. Eligible employees who were not executive officers or officers of the Company exchanged part or all of their performance-based options for new time-based options having a vesting period of three years. Executive officers and officers of the Company exchanged part or all of their performance-based options for new performance-based options having a vesting period of three years and six months, with vesting based on the achievement of EBITA targets established by Serena’s board of directors.

“Roll Over” Options

In connection with the Merger, the management participants were permitted to elect to have the surviving company in the merger assume some or all of the Serena stock options that they held immediately prior to the merger and that had an exercise price of less than $24.00 per share. The number of shares subject to these “roll over” options was adjusted to be the number of shares equal to the product of (1) the difference between $24.00 and the exercise price of the option and (2) the quotient of the total number of shares of Serena’s common stock subject to such option, divided by $3.75. The exercise price of these “roll over” options was adjusted to $1.25 per share. The “roll over” options are subject to terms of the original option agreements with Serena, except that in the event of a “change in control” of Serena (as defined in the 2006 Plan), the treatment of the “roll over” options upon such transaction will be determined in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Plan.

The Amended 2006 Plan does not include an evergreen provision to provide for automatic increases in the number of shares available for grant. Any increase in the number of shares available for grant under the Amended 2006 Plan would require approval from the Company’s Board of Directors.

As of April 30, 2011, a total of 12,223,105 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and for the future grant of stock options or awards under the Amended 2006 Plan.

The fair value of each stock option grant under the stock option plans is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in the three months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010.


	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011	Three Months Ended April 30, 2010
Expected life (in years)	3.0	3.0
Risk-free interest rate	0.2% to 1.2%	0.2% to 1.5%
Volatility	19% to 33%	29% to 38%

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.

With respect to the amounts set forth above, the Company’s expected volatility is based on the combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s peer group’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. To assist management in determining the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company engages a third-party valuation specialist to perform a valuation on a semi-annual basis as of January 31 and July 31. In estimating the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the external valuation firm employs a two-step approach that first estimated the fair value of the Company as a whole, and then allocated the enterprise value to the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the average U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates during the period and approximate the rate in effect at the time of grant for the respective expected term. The expected terms are based on the observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise or cancellation of options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses forecasted projections to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

General Stock Option Information

The following table sets forth the summary of option activity under our stock option programs for the three months ended April 30, 2011:


	Options Available for Grant			Number of Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price

Restricted stock units are granted from the stock option pool. In the three months ended April 30, 2011, a total of 350,000 units were cancelled and returned to the available-for-grant stock option pool. There were no units granted in the three months ended April 30, 2011. See “Restricted Stock Units” below for further details.

(3)	The number of options vested and expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures, as of April 30, 2011 was 6,261,998 and has a weighted average exercise price of $2.64.

Information regarding the stock options outstanding at April 30, 2011 is summarized as follows:


Range of Exercise Price	Number Outstanding(1)(2)		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable(1)(2)		Weighted Average Exercise Price

(1)	The table shows options without consideration of expected forfeitures. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate to be approximately 2%.

(2)

Total stock options outstanding at April 30, 2011 consist of 4,481,140 performance-based options, 4,455,579 time-based options and 1,414,748 roll over options. The Company presently does not record compensation expense associated with performance-based options because management believes their vesting is not probable.

The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding and options exercisable as of April 30, 2011 was $8.1 and $4.7 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

In connection with the consummation of the merger (the “Merger”) of Spyglass Merger Corp. with and into the Company on March 10, 2006, the Company entered into a restricted stock agreement, dated as of March 10, 2006 with Robert Pender, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Pender was issued 307,200 shares of the Company’s common stock. The restricted stock award vested in full on June 16, 2010 pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock agreement. Mr. Pender transferred 112,681 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for purposes of paying applicable income tax withholdings resulting from the vesting of the restricted stock award pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock agreement.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has entered into restricted stock agreements with certain of its employees. These units are unvested and subject to each employee’s continued employment with the Company for a period of three years from the date of issuance. In addition, if the Company is subject to a “change in control” or an “initial public offering” (as defined in these agreements) while the employee remains an employee of the Company, his or her remaining unvested restricted stock units will immediately vest in part or in full depending on the price per share at the time of such event.

Restructuring Charges and Accruals

In February 2011, in response to the general weakening of the worldwide economy, an expected continued slowdown in IT spending and a decline in the Company’s license revenue, the Company announced and began to execute plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 5%, or 28 positions, affecting all parts of the organization. The Company has realized and expects to continue to realize cost savings going forward as a result of this restructuring and other cost saving initiatives. This restructuring is substantially complete, and in connection with these actions, the Company recorded restructuring charges in the three months ended April 30, 2011 related to a facility closure totaling $0.2 million. The nature of the restructuring charges and the amounts paid and accrued as of April 30, 2011 are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Severance, payroll taxes and other employee benefits			Facilities closures, legal and other miscellaneous(1)			Total restructuring charges and accruals

(1)	As of April 30, 2011, contract termination costs accrued related to abandoned facility leases totaled $0.3 million and will be paid out over the remaining lease terms ranging from 1 month to 15 months.

Restructuring accruals are reflected in accrued expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The agreements underlying the Company’s senior subordinated notes and the credit facility include financial covenants based on Adjusted EBITDA and restructuring, acquisition and other charges are a component of that computation. These charges have been included as a separate line within operating expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and are categorized as follows for the three months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

(a) Goodwill:

Goodwill is not amortized but instead is periodically tested for impairment. The required annual impairment test is performed in the fourth fiscal quarter each year. The Company has concluded that there were no indicators of impairment of goodwill as of April 30, 2011.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three months ended April 30, 2011.

The Company tests its long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is not recoverable, and therefore subject to an impairment charge, if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows associated with it. There were no impairment charges in the three month periods ended April 30, 2011 and 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment regarding modification to Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company’s adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2011 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations since our reporting unit does not have a zero or negative carrying amount at April 30, 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment regarding improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009–13, Multiple–Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (“ASU 2009–13”). ASU 2009–13 amends existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that are currently within the scope of FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25. The new

standard provides accounting principles and application guidance on whether certain non-software multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. This guidance eliminates the requirement to establish the fair value of undelivered products and services and also eliminates the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance provides for separate revenue recognition based upon management’s estimate of the selling price for an undelivered item when there is no other means to determine the fair value of that undelivered item. Under the previous guidance, if the fair value of all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement was not determinable, then revenue was generally deferred until all of the items were delivered or fair value was determined. This new approach is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company’s adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2011 did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement pursuant to a debt commitment that we obtained from affiliates of the initial purchasers of our senior subordinated notes (“the credit facility”).

General. The borrower under the credit facility initially was Spyglass Merger Corp. and immediately following completion of the Merger became Serena. The credit facility originally provided for (1) a seven-year term loan in the amount of $400.0 million amortizing at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis for the first six and three-quarters years after the closing date of the Merger, with the balance paid at maturity, and (2) a six-year revolving credit facility that permits loans in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million, including a letter of credit facility and a swing line facility. In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, the credit facility provides for one or more uncommitted incremental term loan or revolving credit facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150.0 million. Proceeds of the term loan on the initial borrowing date were used to partially finance the Merger, to refinance certain indebtedness of Serena and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger. Proceeds of the revolving credit facility have been and any incremental facilities will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.

In the quarters ended July 31, 2006, April 30, 2007 and January 31, 2008, the Company made principal payments on the original $400 million term loan totaling $25 million, $30 million and $25 million, respectively.

In the quarters ended April 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company made mandatory principal payments totaling $2.0 million, $2.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, on the original $400 million term loan.

In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, the Company made a voluntary principal payment totaling $30 million on the revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility bears an annual commitment fee on the undrawn portion of that facility commencing on the date of execution and delivery of the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of the Company borrowing $65.0 million under the revolving credit facility in the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008 and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (“LCPI”) becoming a defaulting lender due to its failure to fund its loan commitment, the annual commitment fee of 0.5% was not payable pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit agreement until April 2010, when a $30 million portion of the loans under the revolving Credit Facility was repaid. In connection with the amendment of the Company’s senior secured credit agreement in March 2011, Barclays Bank PLC assumed LCPI’s revolving credit commitment of $10.0 million, which revived the applicable revolving credit commitment and resulted in total non-extended and extended revolving credit commitments of $75.0 million. Effective February 1, 2011, the annual commitment fee was 0.375% per annum.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement. On March 2, 2011 the Company entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement to extend the final maturity date for the repayment of a portion of outstanding term loans, extend the commitment termination date of the commitments for a portion of the revolving credit facility and provide for additional flexibility in the financial covenants under the senior secured credit agreement (the “amend and extend transaction”). As a result of the amendment, $191.1 million of the existing term loans were extended and will mature on March 10, 2016 (the “extended term loans”), and $20.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments were extended and will terminate on March 10, 2015 (the “extended revolving credit commitments”). The $124.9 million of the existing term loans that were not extended (the “non-extended term loans”), and the $55.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended (the “non-extended revolving credit commitments”) will continue to mature on March 10, 2013 and March 10, 2012, respectively. The Company refers to the extended term loans and extended revolving credit commitments collectively as the “extended facilities,” and the non-extended term loans and non-extended revolving credit commitments collectively as the “non-extended facilities.” As a result of the amendment, the interest rate margins were increased by 200 basis points for the extended facilities. In addition, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 and through the test periods ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter for both the extended facilities and non-extended facilities. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement did not change, and the principal amount of the extended and non-extended term loans will continue to amortize at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis. In connection with the amendment, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. resigned as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer under the senior secured credit agreement and was replaced by Barclays Bank PLC.

Senior Subordinated Notes

The Company has outstanding $134.3 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes, which bear interest at a rate of 10.375%, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, and which mature on March 15, 2016. Each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the obligations under the Company’s senior secured credit agreement will jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured senior

(Unaudited)

subordinated basis. The Company does not have any domestic subsidiaries and, accordingly, there are no guarantors. The notes are the Company’s unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, and the guarantees, if any, will be unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the guarantors. The notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option under terms and conditions specified in the indenture related to the notes, and may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon certain change of control events.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Company repurchased, in eight separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $32.6 million of principal amount of its original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. The repurchases resulted in a gain of $8.7 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, the Company repurchased, in six separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $24.4 million of principal amount of its original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. The repurchases resulted in a gain of $4.6 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, the Company repurchased, in two separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $8.7 million of principal amount of its original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. The repurchases resulted in a loss of $0.2 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.

The Company may from time to time repurchase the senior subordinated notes in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, or redeem the senior subordinated notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated March 10, 2006.

Debt Covenants

The senior subordinated notes and the credit facility contain various covenants including limitations on additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, restricted payments, the incurrence of liens, transactions with affiliates and sales of assets. In addition, the credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios and capital expenditure limitations. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit facility as of April 30, 2011.

The Company’s senior secured credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a rolling twelve-month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated Interest Expense ratio of a minimum of 2.00x at the end of each quarter beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2010. Consolidated Interest Expense is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as consolidated cash interest expense less cash interest income and is further adjusted for certain non-cash interest expenses and other items. The Company is also required to maintain a rolling twelve-month consolidated Total Debt to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of a maximum of 5.00x at the end of each quarter beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2011. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2011 and through the test period ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter. Consolidated Total Debt is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as total debt other than certain indebtedness and is reduced by the amount of cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet in excess of $5.0 million. As of April 30, 2011, our consolidated Total Debt was $366.8 million, consisting of total debt other than certain indebtedness totaling $477.7 million, net of cash and cash equivalents

SERENA SOFTWARE, INC.

in excess of $5.0 million totaling $110.9 million. Failure to satisfy these ratio requirements would constitute a default under the senior secured credit agreement. If the Company’s lenders failed to waive any such default, our repayment obligations under the senior secured credit agreement could be accelerated, which would also constitute a default under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes.

The Company’s ability to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of at least 2.0x, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments and certain permitted investments without regard to the ratio, such as the Company’s ability to incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million under our senior secured credit agreement (subject to reduction for mandatory prepayments under our senior secured credit agreement and inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement from time to time; as of April 30, 2011, we had $308.5 million outstanding under our term loan and $35.0 million under our revolving credit facility), to acquire persons engaged in a similar business that become restricted subsidiaries and to make other investments equal to the greater of $25.0 million or 2% of our consolidated assets. Fixed charges is defined in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes as consolidated Interest Expense less interest income, adjusted for acquisitions, and further adjusted for non-cash interest expense.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit was $0.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2011, as compared to $4.2 million in the same three months a year ago. The Company’s projected effective income tax benefit rate for fiscal year 2012 is 8%. The Company’s effective income tax benefit rate for fiscal year 2011 was 57%. The Company’s effective income tax benefit rate projected for fiscal 2012 is significantly less than the effective income tax benefit rate for fiscal 2011 predominantly due to the projected reduction in amortization associated with the acquired technology from the March 2006 merger that became fully amortized in the current fiscal quarter. The Company’s effective income tax benefit rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impacts of permanently reinvested foreign earnings, the domestic production deduction, the United States research and experimentation tax credit, and state taxes.

At January 31, 2011, the Company had total federal, state and foreign unrecognized tax benefits of $3.8 million, including interest of $0.9 million. During the three months ended April 30, 2011 there were no material changes to the total unrecognized tax benefit, and the Company accrued immaterial amounts in interest.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on our federal and major state tax return filings remains open for the years ended January 31, 2006 through January 31, 2010. The statute of limitations on U.K. income tax filings remains open for the years ended January 31, 1999 through January 31, 2010. The Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next twelve months.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Hierarchy

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect

SERENA SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, these two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2—Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

•

Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

FASB ASC Topic 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

At April 30, 2011, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates its respective carrying amount because this instrument includes LIBOR-based interest rates that are variable and fluctuate based on market conditions.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents balances with recognized financial institutions that follow the Company’s investment policy. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on these investments to date. One of the most significant credit risks is the ultimate realization of accounts receivable. This risk is mitigated by (i) ongoing credit evaluation of our customers, and (ii) frequent contact with our customers, especially our most significant customers, thus enabling the Company to monitor current changes in business operations and to respond accordingly. The Company generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company considers these concentrations of credit risks in establishing our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen during the ordinary course of its business. The reasonably possible or probable range of loss from the final resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to be material.

Overview

We are the largest global independent software company in terms of revenue focused solely on managing change and processes across information technology, or IT, environments. Our products and services primarily address the complexity of application lifecycle management, or ALM, and are used by our customers to manage the development of and control change in mission critical applications within both mainframe and distributed systems environments. In addition, we provide products and services to enable customers to rapidly address IT service management, or ITSM, and business process challenges through the use of visually designed process workflows. Our products and services allow customers to orchestrate and manage their application development, IT and business processes by automating and integrating disparate ALM and ITSM products and processes, improving process visibility and consistency, enhancing software integrity, mitigating application development risks, supporting auditability and regulatory compliance, and boosting productivity. Our revenue is generated by software licenses, maintenance contracts and professional services. Our software products are typically installed within customer IT environments and generally accompanied by renewable annual maintenance contracts.

In connection with our merger with Spyglass Merger Corp., an affiliate of Silver Lake, in March 2006, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement, issued senior subordinated notes, and entered into other related transactions, which we refer to collectively as the acquisition transactions. After consummation of the acquisition transactions, we are highly leveraged. As of April 30, 2011 we had outstanding $477.8 million in aggregate indebtedness, including $35.0 million of borrowing under our revolving credit facility. Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements.

On March 2, 2011 we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement to extend the final maturity date for the repayment of a portion of outstanding term loans, extend the commitment termination date of the commitments for a portion of the revolving credit facility and provide for additional flexibility in the financial covenants under the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of the amendment, $191.1 million of the existing term loans were extended and will mature on March 10, 2016, and $20.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments were extended and will terminate on March 10, 2015. The $124.9 million of the existing term loans that were not extended, and the $55.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended will continue to mature on March 10, 2013 and March 10, 2012, respectively. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate margins were increased by 200 basis points for the extended facilities. In addition, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x effective with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 through the test periods ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter for both the extended facilities and non-extended facilities. For additional information regarding the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Senior Secured Credit Agreement” below.

We derive our revenue from software licenses, maintenance and professional services. Our distributed systems products are licensed on a per user seat basis. Customers typically purchase mainframe products under million instructions per second, or MIPS-based, perpetual licenses. Mainframe software products and applications are generally priced based on hardware computing capacity – the higher the mainframe computer’s MIPS capacity, the higher the cost of the software license.

We also provide ongoing maintenance, which includes technical support, version upgrades and enhancements, for an annual fee of approximately 21% of the discounted list price of the licensed product for our distributed systems products and approximately 17% to 18% of the discounted list price of the licensed product for our mainframe products. We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the maintenance contract on a straight-line basis.

Professional services revenue is derived from technical consulting and educational services. Our professional services are typically billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized as the related services are performed. Maintenance revenue and professional services revenue have lower gross profit margins than software license revenue as a result of the costs inherent in operating our customer support and professional services organizations.

In the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, total revenues decreased 5%, as total revenues were $49.2 million in the current quarter versus $51.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease in total revenues in the current quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, was primarily the result of our failure to close several large license transactions during the quarter, which we attribute to higher-than-normal turnover within our sales organization during the quarter, primarily in North America. The decrease in total revenue was also due to reduced spending within the federal sector, which operated under a series of continuing resolutions through most of the quarter, the continuation of slower software purchasing activity resulting from the world-wide general economic weakness, pricing pressures on maintenance renewals primarily as a result of the economy, and certain maintenance contract cancellations.

In the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, 47% and 62%, respectively, of our total software license revenue came from our distributed systems products and 53% and 38%, respectively, came from our mainframe products, due to the weakness of our distributed systems license revenue in the most recent fiscal quarter.

Historically, our revenue has been generally attributable to sales in North America, Europe and to a lesser extent Asia Pacific and South America. Revenue attributable to sales in North America accounted for approximately 66% of our total revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 67% in the same quarter a year ago. Our international revenue is attributable principally to our European operations and to a lesser extent Asia Pacific and South America. International revenue accounted for approximately 34% of our total revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 33% in the same quarter a year ago.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion is based upon our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by us. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our future reported financial results.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes, projections used in purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill, valuation of our common stock, and assumptions related to valuation of our options and restricted stock, among other things. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

We believe the following are critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

•

Revenue recognition,

•

Stock-based compensation,

•

Valuation of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and

•

Accounting for income taxes

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, there has been no change in the above critical accounting policies or the underlying assumptions and estimates used in their application. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on May 2, 2011 for further information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue

We derive revenue from software licenses, maintenance and professional services. Our total revenue decreased $2.4 million, or 5%, to $49.2 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 from $51.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the decrease in total revenue was primarily the result of declines in software licenses revenue resulting from our failure to close several large license transactions during the quarter, which we attribute to higher-than-normal turnover within our sales organization during the quarter, primarily in North America. The decrease in total revenue was also due to reduced spending within the federal sector, which operated under a series of continuing

resolutions through most of the quarter, the continuation of slower software purchasing activity resulting from the world-wide general economic weakness, and to a lesser extent, declines in maintenance revenues from pricing pressures on maintenance renewals primarily as a result of the economy, and certain maintenance contract cancellations, all partially offset by an increase in professional services revenues resulting from an increase in the number of consulting engagements.

The following table summarizes software licenses, maintenance and professional services revenues for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011		Three Months Ended April 30, 2010		Increase (Decrease)
	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011		Three Months Ended April 30, 2010		In Dollars			In %
Revenue:
Software licenses	$	8,850	$	11,412	$	(2,562	)		(22	)%
Maintenance		34,655		35,581		(926	)		(3	)%
Professional services		5,687		4,632		1,055			23	%

Total revenue	$	49,192	$	51,625	$	(2,433	)		(5	)%

Software Licenses. Software licenses revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 18% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 22% in the same quarter a year ago. For the current quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the decrease in software licenses revenue, in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue, was primarily the result of our failure to close several large license transactions during the quarter, which we attribute to higher-than-normal turnover within our sales organization during the quarter, primarily in North America. The decrease in software license revenue was also due to reduced spending within the federal sector, which operated under a series of continuing resolutions through most of the quarter, and the continuation of slower software purchasing activity resulting from the world-wide general economic weakness. Our core ALM products, which include Dimensions and ZMF, continue to make up a significant portion of our total software license revenue. Combined, our core ALM products accounted for $7.8 million, or 89%, and $10.7 million, or 94%, of total software licenses revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. Distributed systems products accounted for $4.2 million, or 47%, of total software licenses revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 as compared to $7.1 million, or 62%, in the same quarter a year ago. We expect that our Dimensions, ZMF and SBM family of products will continue to account for a substantial portion of software license revenue in the future. We expect our software license revenue for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2011 to increase sequentially and over the same quarter last year.

Maintenance. Maintenance revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 70% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 69% in the same quarter a year ago. For the current quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the decrease in maintenance revenue in absolute dollars is primarily due to pricing pressures on maintenance renewals as a result of the weak global economy and several small maintenance contract cancellations. We expect maintenance revenue to remain generally flat in the near term as maintenance contracts continue to renew at consistent rates and we continue to sell software licenses, offset by pricing pressure caused by the prolonged adverse worldwide economic conditions.

Professional Services. Professional services revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 12% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 9% in the same quarter a year ago. For the current fiscal quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue is predominantly due to an increase in the number of consulting engagements primarily as a result of our expanded professional services organization. In general, professional services revenue is attributable to consulting opportunities in our installed customer base and expanding our consulting service capabilities. We expect professional services revenue to remain generally flat in the near term in part due to reduced levels of new license transaction in the current quarter and as we maintain our focus on selling solution-oriented offerings based on our ALM products and SBM.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue, consisting of cost of software licenses, cost of maintenance, cost of professional services and amortization of acquired technology, was 25% of total revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 31% in the same quarter a year ago.

The following table summarizes cost of revenue for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011			Three Months Ended April 30, 2010			Increase (Decrease)
	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011			Three Months Ended April 30, 2010			In Dollars			In %
Cost of revenue:
Software licenses	$	335		$	300		$	35			12	%
Maintenance		2,825			2,885			(60	)		(2	)%
Professional services		5,354			4,174			1,180			28	%
Amortization of acquired technology		3,608			8,696			(5,088	)		(59	)%

Total cost of revenue	$	12,122		$	16,055		$	(3,933	)		(24	)%

Percentage of total revenue		25	%		31	%

Software Licenses. Cost of software licenses consists principally of fees associated with integrating third party technology into our PVCS and Dimensions distributed systems products and, to a lesser extent, salaries, bonuses and other costs associated with our product release organization. Cost of software licenses as a percentage of total software licenses revenue was 4% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 3% in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total software licenses revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, was primarily due to increases in fees associated with integrating third party technology into our distributed systems products.

Maintenance. Cost of maintenance consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and other costs associated with our customer support organization. Cost of maintenance as a percentage of total maintenance revenue was 8% in both the current quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago. For the current quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, in absolute dollars, the decrease in cost of maintenance was primarily attributable to decreases in expenses associated with our customer support organization resulting from restructuring and other cost cutting initiatives.

Professional Services. Cost of professional services consists of salaries, bonuses and other costs associated with supporting and growing our professional services organization. Cost of professional services as a percentage of total professional services revenue was 94% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 90% in the same quarter a year ago. For the current quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the increase in the cost of professional services in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total professional services revenue was predominantly due to increases in expenses to support higher professional services revenue.

Amortization of Acquired Technology. In connection with our merger in March 2006, and to a lesser extent small technology acquisitions in March 2006, October 2006 and September 2008, we have recorded $178.7 million in acquired technology. For the current quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, amortization expense was predominantly due to the acquired technology recorded in connection with the merger. The acquired technology associated with our merger in March 2006 became fully amortized in the current fiscal quarter.

Operating Expenses

The following table summarizes operating expenses for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011			Three Months Ended April 30, 2010			Increase (Decrease)
	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011			Three Months Ended April 30, 2010			In Dollars			In %
Operating expenses:
Sales and marketing	$	14,438		$	13,623		$	815			6	%
Research and development		6,698			8,340			(1,642	)		(20	)%

Amortization of intangible assets		9,203			9,203			—			—
Restructuring, acquisition and other charges		612			2,170			(1,558	)		(72	)%

Total operating expenses	$	34,478		$	37,993		$	(3,515	)		(9	)%

Percentage of total revenue		70	%		73	%

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses, payroll taxes and employee benefits as well as travel, entertainment and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 29% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 26% in the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue, the increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily the result of growing our sales and marketing organizations to support future software licenses sales and marketing programs, partially offset by lower direct costs, such as sales commissions, associated with lower software licenses revenue. In absolute dollar terms, we expect sales and marketing expenses to remain generally flat or slightly increase over the near term.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, employee benefits and costs attributable to research and development activities. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 14% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 16% in the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the decrease in research and development expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue, was primarily attributable to restructuring and other cost cutting initiatives, including moving some of our research and development activities to lower cost offshore locations, put in place in fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense totaling $0.6 million. We expect research and development expenses to remain generally flat in the near term.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits and certain non-allocable administrative costs, including legal and accounting fees and bad debt. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 7% in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to 9% in the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the decrease in general and administrative expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue was primarily attributable to restructuring and other cost cutting initiatives put in place in fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense totaling $0.3 million, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease in bad debt expense. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain generally flat in the near term.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. In connection with our merger in March 2006, and to a lesser extent a small technology acquisition in October 2006, we have recorded $299.7 million in identifiable intangible assets, reduced by amortization totaling $194.5 million as of April 30, 2011. For the current quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, amortization expense was predominantly due to the identifiable intangible assets recorded in connection with the merger. Assuming there are no impairments and no

acquisitions, we expect to record $9.2 million in amortization expense in each of the next four fiscal quarters, $9.1 million in amortization expense in each of the seven fiscal quarters following thereafter and finally, $3.9 million in amortization expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Other Charges. In connection with our restructuring plans put in place on March 1, 2010 and again in February 2011, and severance and other employee related costs, sponsor fees and other charges not part of ongoing operations, we recorded $0.6 million and $2.2 million in restructuring, acquisition and other charges in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. Restructuring, acquisition and other charges for the three months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 are categorized as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2011		2010
Sponsor fees, administration fees and other costs related to the Merger and the issuance of debt	$	309	$	310
Restructuring charges consisting principally of severance, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, facilities closures and legal and other miscellaneous costs(1)		163		1,150
Other redundancy costs not related to our restructuring plans including severance and other employee related costs, costs to establish or liquidate entities, and other miscellaneous costs not part of ongoing operations		140		710

Total restructuring, acquisition and other charges	$	612	$	2,170

Total other income (expense)	$	(8,004	)	$	(5,957	)	$	(2,047	)		34	%

Percentage of total revenue		(16	)%		(12	)%

Interest Income. For the current quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the slight dollar increase in interest income is predominantly due to increases in cash balances resulting from the accumulation of free cash flows from operations.

Interest Expense. For the quarter ended April 30, 2011, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, the dollar decrease in interest expense is predominantly due to our paying down principal on our revolving credit facility and term loan totaling $30.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010, partially offset by a 200 basis point increase in the extended facilities interest resulting from the amend and

extend transaction early in the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011. See Note 7 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information related to our debt.

Change in the Fair Value of Derivative Instrument. We used an interest rate swap as part of our interest rate risk management strategy and to comply with certain requirements of our senior secured credit agreement to enter a hedging agreement with a term of at least two years. In the second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction to effectively convert the variable interest rate on a portion of the $400.0 million term loan to a fixed rate. The swap, which expired on April 10, 2010, was recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The swap was not designated as an accounting hedge, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative were recognized in the statement of operations. The notional amount of the swap was $250.0 million initially declining over time to $126.0 million at the time the swap transaction expired on April 10, 2010. Under the terms of the swap, we made interest payments based on a fixed rate equal to 5.38% and received interest payments based on the LIBOR setting rate, set in arrears. In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, which was the final quarter for our interest rate swap contract, we recorded $1.6 million in income related to the changes in the fair value of the derivative. We did not enter into a similar interest rate swap in fiscal 2011 and do not expect to enter into a similar interest rate swap in the future.

Amortization and Write-Off of Debt Issuance Costs. In connection with the merger in March 2006 and the amend and extend transaction in March 2011, we capitalized $16.1 million and $0.5 million in debt issuance costs, respectively, reduced by accumulated amortization totaling $11.0 million as of April 30, 2011. In both the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, we recorded $0.4 million in amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs. Assuming we do not incur additional debt or extinguish senior subordinated notes before maturity, we expect to record $0.2 million to $0.3 million per quarter in amortization expense in each fiscal quarter through the end of fiscal 2016 and $0.1 million in amortization expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Amend and Extend Transaction Fees. In connection with the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement entered into in March 2011, we incurred $1.5 million of fees which were immediately expensed in the current quarter ended April 30, 2011. For additional information regarding the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Senior Secured Credit Agreement” below and Note 7 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements “Senior Secured Credit Agreement.”

Income Tax Benefit

The following table summarizes income tax (benefit) expense for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011			Three Months Ended April 30, 2010			Increase (Decrease)
	Three Months Ended April 30, 2011			Three Months Ended April 30, 2010			In Dollars		In %
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(517	)	$	(4,219	)	$	3,702		88	%

Percentage of total revenue		(1	)%		(8	)%

Income Tax Benefit. The income tax benefit was $0.5 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, as compared to $4.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. Our projected effective income tax benefit rate for fiscal year 2012 is 8%. Our effective income tax benefit rate for fiscal year 2011 was 57%. Our effective income tax benefit rate projected for fiscal 2012 is significantly less than the effective income tax benefit rate for fiscal 2011 predominantly due to the projected reduction in amortization associated with the acquired technology from the March 2006 merger that became fully amortized in the current fiscal quarter. Our effective income tax benefit rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impacts of permanently reinvested foreign

earnings, the domestic production deduction, the United States research and experimentation tax credit, and state taxes. See Note 8 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information regarding income taxes and its impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Since our inception, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements through cash flows from operations. As of April 30, 2011, we had $115.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $1.3 million and $6.4 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. In the quarter ended April 30, 2011, our cash flows provided by operating activities exceeded net loss principally due to the inclusion of non-cash expenses in net loss, a decrease in accounts receivable and cash collections in advance of revenue recognition for maintenance contracts, all partially offset by interest payments made on the term credit facility and senior subordinated notes totaling $9.1 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, income tax payments net of refunds totaling $3.6 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, our cash flows provided by operating activities exceeded net loss principally due to the inclusion of non-cash expenses in net loss, a decrease in accounts receivable and cash collections in advance of revenue recognition for maintenance contracts, all partially offset by interest payments made on the term credit facility and senior subordinated notes totaling $11.3 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and income tax payments net of refunds totaling $1.2 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million and $0.3 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. In the quarter ended April 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities related to the purchase of computer equipment and office furniture and equipment totaling $2.1 million and the purchase of software totaling $0.1 million. In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities related to the purchase of computer equipment and office furniture and equipment totaling $0.2 million and the purchase of software totaling $0.1 million.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $9.3 million and $32.0 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. In the quarter ended April 30, 2011, net cash used in financing activities principally related to principal payments made on the term loan totaling $7.5 million and debt issue costs paid associated with the amend and extend transaction totaling $1.8 million. In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities principally related to principal payments made on the revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan totaling $30.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As a result of the acquisition transactions related to our merger in March 2006, we became highly leveraged. As of April 30, 2011, we had outstanding $477.8 million in aggregate indebtedness. Our liquidity obligations are significant, primarily due to debt service obligations. Our cash interest expense for the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago was $9.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

We believe that current cash and cash equivalents, and cash flows from operations will satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the fiscal year ending January 31, 2012. At some point in the future, we may require additional funds for either operating or strategic purposes or to refinance our existing indebtedness and may seek to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing. If we are required to seek additional financing in the future through public or private debt or equity financing, there is no assurance that this additional financing will be available or, if available, will be upon reasonable terms and not legally or structurally senior to or on parity with our existing debt obligations.

The following is a summary of our various contractual commitments as of April 30, 2011, including non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space that expire between calendar years 2011 and 2021. All periods start from May 1, 2011.

Scheduled interest on debt is calculated through the instruments due date and assumes no unscheduled principal paydowns or borrowings. Scheduled interest on debt includes the term loan due March 10, 2013 at an annual rate of 2.3095%, which is the rate in effect as of April 30, 2011, the term loan with an extended due date of March 10, 2016 at an annual rate of 4.3095%, which is the rate in effect as of April 30, 2011, the partially drawn revolving credit facility due March 10, 2012 at an annual rate of 2.0595%, which is the rate in effect as of April 30, 2011, the partially drawn revolving credit facility with an extended due date of March 10, 2015 at an annual rate of 4.0595%, which is the rate in effect as of April 30 2011, the commitment fee on the unutilized amount of the revolving term credit facility due March 10, 2012 at the annual rate of 0.375%, which is the rate in effect as of April 30, 2011, and the ten year senior subordinated notes due March 15, 2016 at the stated annual rate of 10.375%.

(2)	This table excludes the company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.0 million as of April 30, 2011 since the company has determined that the timing of payments with respect to this liability cannot be reasonably estimated.

Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue. At April 30, 2011, we had accounts receivable, net of allowances, of $19.7 million and total deferred revenue of $81.3 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As part of our ongoing operations, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, or SPEs, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of April 30, 2011, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the merger, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement pursuant to a debt commitment we obtained from affiliates of the initial purchasers of our senior subordinated notes.

General. The borrower under the senior secured credit agreement initially was Spyglass Merger Corp. and immediately following completion of the merger became Serena. The senior secured credit agreement originally provided for (1) a seven-year term loan in the amount of $400.0 million, amortizing at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis for the first six and three-quarter years after the closing date of the acquisition transactions,

with the balance payable at maturity, and (2) a six-year revolving credit facility that permits loans in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million, which includes a letter of credit facility and a swing line facility. In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, the senior secured credit agreement provides for one or more uncommitted incremental term loan or revolving credit facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150.0 million. Proceeds of the term loan on the initial borrowing date were used to partially finance the merger, to refinance certain indebtedness of Serena and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger. Proceeds of the revolving credit facility have been, and any incremental facilities will be, used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the borrower and its restricted subsidiaries.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement. On March 2, 2011 we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement to extend the final maturity date for the repayment of a portion of outstanding term loans, extend the commitment termination date of the commitments for a portion of the revolving credit facility and provide for additional flexibility in the financial covenants under the senior secured credit agreement (the “amend and extend transaction”). As a result of the amendment, $191.1 million of the existing term loans were extended and will mature on March 10, 2016 (the “extended term loans”), and $20.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments were extended and will terminate on March 10, 2015 (the “extended revolving credit commitments”). The $124.9 million of the existing term loans that were not extended (the “non-extended term loans”), and the $55.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended (the “non-extended revolving credit commitments”) will continue to mature on March 10, 2013 and March 10, 2012, respectively. We refer to the extended term loans and extended revolving credit commitments collectively as the “extended facilities,” and the non-extended term loans and non-extended revolving credit commitments collectively as the “non-extended facilities.” As a result of the amendment, the interest rate margins were increased by 200 basis points for the extended facilities. In addition, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 and through the test periods ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter for both the extended facilities and non-extended facilities. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement did not change, and the principal amount of the extended and non-extended term loans will continue to amortize at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis. In connection with the amendment, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. resigned as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer under the senior secured credit agreement and was replaced by Barclays Bank PLC.

Interest Rates and Fees. The term loans and revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus applicable margins that are determined pursuant to a grid based on our most recent total leverage ratio. The $400.0 million term loan, of which $308.5 million was outstanding as of April 30, 2011, currently bears interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.00% for the non-extended term loans and three-month LIBOR plus 4.00% for the extended term loans. Those rates were 2.3095% and 4.3095%, respectively, as of April 30, 2011. The revolving credit facility, of which $35.0 million was outstanding as of April 30, 2011, currently bears interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.75% for the non-extended revolving credit facility and three-month LIBOR plus 3.75% for the extended revolving credit facility. Those rates were 2.0595% and 4.0595%, respectively, as of April 30, 2011. More generally, the loans under the senior secured credit agreement bear interest, at the option of the borrower, based upon the following rates as of April 30, 2011.

•

a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of (1) 2.00% and 4.00% with respect to the non-extended term loans and extended term loans, respectively, and (2) 1.75% and 3.75% with respect to the non-extended revolving credit facility and extended revolving credit facility, respectively, or

•

the alternate base rate, which is the higher of (1) the corporate base rate of interest announced by the administrative agent and (2) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of (a) 1.00% and 3.00% with respect to the non-extended term loans and extended term loans, respectively, and (b) 0.75% and 2.75% with respect to the non-extended revolving credit facility and extended credit facility, respectively.

The revolving credit facility bears an annual commitment fee on the undrawn portion of that facility commencing on the date of execution and delivery of the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of our borrowing $65.0 million under the revolving credit facility in the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008 and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., or LCPI, becoming a defaulting lender due to its failure to fund its portion of the loan commitment, the annual commitment fee of 0.5% was not payable pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit agreement until April 2010, when we repaid $30 million under the revolving credit facility. In connection with the amendment of our senior secured credit agreement in March 2011, Barclays Bank PLC assumed LCPI’s revolving credit commitment of $10.0 million, which revived the applicable revolving credit commitment and resulted in total non-extended and extended revolving credit commitments of $75.0 million. Effective February 1, 2011, the annual commitment fee was 0.375% per annum.

After our delivery of financial statements and a computation of the maximum ratio of total debt (defined in the senior secured credit agreement) to trailing four quarters of EBITDA (defined in the senior secured credit agreement), or total leverage ratio, for the first full quarter ending after the closing date of the merger, the applicable margins and the commitment fee became subject to a grid based on the most recent total leverage ratio.

Prepayments. At our option, (1) amounts outstanding under the term loan may be voluntarily prepaid and (2) the unutilized portion of the commitments under the revolving credit facility may be permanently reduced and the loans under such facility may be voluntarily repaid, in each case subject to requirements as to minimum amounts and multiples, at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that any prepayment of LIBOR rate advances other than at the end of the applicable interest periods will be made with reimbursement for any funding losses or redeployment costs of the lenders resulting from the prepayment. Loans under the term loan and under any incremental term loan facility are subject to mandatory prepayment with (a) 50% of annual excess cash flow with certain step downs to be based on the most recent total leverage ratio and agreed upon by the issuer and the lenders, (b) 100% of net cash proceeds of asset sales and other asset dispositions by the borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to various reinvestment rights of the company and other exceptions, and (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of the issuance or incurrence of debt by the company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to various baskets and exceptions.

We have made principal payments totaling $25 million and $55 million in each of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2008, respectively, and $2 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 on the original $400 million term loan.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, we made a mandatory principal payment totaling $2 million on the term loan and a voluntary principal payment totaling $30 million on the revolving credit facility. In the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011, we made a mandatory principal payment in the amount of $7.5 million under the term loan, which was applied against the outstanding principal balance of the non-extended term loans on a pro rata basis.

Guarantors. All obligations under the senior secured credit agreement are to be guaranteed by each future direct and indirect restricted subsidiary of the company, other than foreign subsidiaries. We do not have any domestic subsidiaries and, accordingly, there are no guarantors.

Security. All obligations of the company and each guarantor (if any) under the senior secured credit agreement are secured by the following:

•

a perfected lien on and pledge of (1) the capital stock and intercompany notes of each existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the company, (2) all the intercompany notes of the company and (3) 65% of the capital stock of each existing and future direct and indirect first-tier foreign subsidiary of the company, and

•

a perfected first priority lien, subject to agreed-upon exceptions, on, and security interest in, substantially all of the tangible and intangible properties and assets of the company and each guarantor.

Covenants, Representations and Warranties. The senior secured credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, investments, capital expenditures, sales of assets, mergers and acquisitions, liens and dividends and other distributions. There are no financial covenants included in the senior secured credit agreement, other than a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio as discussed below under “Covenant Compliance.”

Events of Default. Events of default under the senior secured credit agreement include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, covenant defaults, a material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults and a change of control.

Senior Subordinated Notes

As of April 30, 2011, we have outstanding $134.3 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes, bearing interest at a rate of 10.375%, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, and maturing on March 15, 2016. Each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the obligations under our outstanding indebtedness will jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. As of the date of this report, we do not have any domestic subsidiaries and, accordingly, there are no guarantors on such date. The notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, and the guarantees, if any, will be unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the guarantors. The notes are subject to redemption at our option under terms and conditions specified in the indenture related to the notes, and may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon certain change of control events.

In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, we repurchased, in eight separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $32.6 million of principal amount of our original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, we repurchased, in six separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $24.4 million of principal amount of our original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, we repurchased, in two separate privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate of $8.7 million of principal amount of our original outstanding $200.0 million senior subordinated notes. These repurchases resulted in gains of $8.7 million and $4.6 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and a loss of $0.2 million from the extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011. We may from time to time repurchase our senior subordinated notes in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, or redeem our senior subordinated notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated March 10, 2006.

Covenant Compliance

Our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:

•

incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

•

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

•

make investments;

•

make capital expenditures;

•

create certain liens;

•

sell certain assets;

•

enter into agreements that restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend or other payments to us;

•

guarantee indebtedness;

•

engage in transactions with affiliates;

•

prepay, repurchase or redeem the notes;

•

create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries; and

•

consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

In addition, under our senior secured credit agreement, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests, including minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the secured credit agreement and indenture as of April 30, 2011. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios and tests in the future. A breach of any of these covenants would result in a default (which, if not cured, could mature into an event of default) and in certain cases an immediate event of default under our senior secured credit agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our senior secured credit agreement, all amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement could be declared to be (or could automatically become) immediately due and payable and all commitments to extend further credit could be terminated.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in our senior secured credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain defined unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our senior secured credit agreement. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors regarding our compliance with the financial covenants under our senior secured credit agreement.

The breach of financial covenants in our senior secured credit agreement (i.e., those that require the maintenance of ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA) would force us to seek a waiver or amendment with the lenders under our senior secured credit agreement, and no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain any necessary waivers or amendments on satisfactory terms, if at all. The lenders would likely condition any waiver or amendment, if given, on additional consideration from us, such as a consent fee, a higher interest rate, principal repayment or more restrictive covenants and limitations on our business. Any such breach, if not waived by the lenders, would result in an event of default under that agreement, in which case the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes. Additionally, under our debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we may consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the senior secured credit agreement allows us to add back certain defined non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating GAAP net income (loss). Our senior secured credit agreement requires that Adjusted EBITDA be

calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter and may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss, a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our debt agreements.


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2011			2010
Net loss(1)	$	(4,895	)	$	(4,161	)
Interest expense (income), net(2)		8,004			5,957
Income tax benefit		(517	)		(4,219	)
Depreciation and amortization expense(3)		13,878			19,833

EBITDA		16,470			17,410
Deferred maintenance writedown(1)		—			37
Restructuring, acquisition and other charges(4)		612			2,170

Adjusted EBITDA	$	17,082		$	19,617

(1)

Net loss for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010 only, includes the deferred maintenance step-down associated with the merger in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. This unrecognized maintenance revenue is added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and the senior secured credit agreement.

(2)

Interest expense (income), net includes interest income, interest expense and amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs for both periods presented. For the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 only, interest expense (income), net also included amend and extend transaction fees. For the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010 only, interest expense (income), net also included the change in the fair value of derivative instruments.

(3)

Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of leasehold improvements, amortization of acquired technologies, amortization of other intangible assets, and amortization of stock-based compensation. See Note 2 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to stock-based compensation.

(4)

Restructuring, acquisition and other charges include employee payroll, severance and other employee related costs associated with transitional activities that are not expected to be part of our ongoing operations, and travel and other direct costs associated with our merger in March 2006. See Note 3 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to restructuring charges and accruals.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, term loan and secured indebtedness. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. All of our cash equivalents principally consist of money market funds, and are classified as available-for-sale as of April 30, 2011. We are subject to interest rate risk on the variable interest rate of the unhedged portion of the secured term loan. Effective with the expiration of our interest rate swap contract on April 10, 2010, no portion of our variable interest rate secured term loan is hedged and management currently does not intend to enter into any swap contract to hedge any portion of the variable interest rate secured term loan. We do not believe that a hypothetical 25% fluctuation in the variable interest rate would have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk. Historically, our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short and long-term investments and short and long-term debt obligations.

As of April 30, 2011, we had $308.5 million of debt under our senior secured credit agreement. A 1% increase in these floating rates would increase annual interest expense by $3.1 million.

Under our senior secured credit agreement, we were required, within 90 days after the closing date, to fix the interest rate of at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness under our term loan through swaps, caps, collars, future or option contracts or similar agreements. We were also required to maintain this interest rate protection for a minimum of two years.

Consequently, in the second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction to effectively convert the variable interest rate on a portion of the $400.0 million term loan to a fixed rate. The swap, which expired on April 10, 2010, was recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The swap was not designated as an accounting hedge and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The notional amount of the swap was $250.0 million initially and amortized down over time to $126.0 million at the time the swap transaction expired on April 10, 2010. Under the terms of the swap, we made interest payments based on a fixed rate equal to 5.38% and received interest payments based on the LIBOR setting rate, set in arrears. In the quarter ended April 30, 2010, which was the final quarter for our interest rate swap contract, we recorded income totaling $1.6 million related to the changes in the fair value of the derivative. We did not enter into a similar interest rate swap in fiscal 2011 and do not expect to enter into a similar interest rate swap in the future.

Foreign Exchange Risk. Sales to foreign countries accounted for approximately 34% and 33% of the total sales in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and the same quarter a year ago, respectively. Because we invoice certain foreign sales in currencies other than the United States dollar, predominantly the British pound sterling and euro, and do not hedge these transactions, fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect the translated results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries. Therefore, foreign exchange fluctuations could create a risk of significant balance sheet gains or losses on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, in the past several years we have benefited from the weakness of the U.S. dollar against other currencies, increasing our net revenues derived from international operations. In more recent quarters, the United States dollar appreciated against these foreign currencies, negatively affecting our net revenues. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, our future net revenues could be adversely affected. However, given our foreign subsidiaries’ net book values as of April 30, 2011 and net cash flows for the most recent fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011, we do not believe that a hypothetical 25% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of senior management personnel, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of April 30, 2011. We perform this evaluation on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our annual and quarterly reports filed under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, and subject to the limitations described below, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
