Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements unaudited
October 31, 2006
A. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. You should review these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, as filed with the SEC. The financial information we present in the condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the period indicated. This information is not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any other future period.
We are an approximately 88% owned subsidiary of American Software, Inc., a publicly held provider of enterprise resource planning and supply chain management software solutions (NASDAQ AMSWA).
B. | Principles of Consolidation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logility, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Demand Management Inc. (DMI). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
C. | Industry Segments |
We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. We operate and manage our business in one reportable segment, Collaborative Supply Chain Management, providing business-to-business collaborative commerce solutions to optimize supply chain operations for manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
D. | Comprehensive Income |
We have adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. We have not included consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since comprehensive income and net earnings presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations would be substantially the same.
E. | Revenue Recognition |
We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2: Software Revenue Recognition, (SOP 97-2) and Statement of Position No. 98-9: Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, (SOP 98-9).
License. License revenue in connection with license agreements for standard proprietary software is recognized upon delivery of the software, providing collection is considered probable, the fee is fixed or determinable, there is evidence of an arrangement, and vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) exists with respect to any undelivered elements of the arrangement. For multiple-element arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue under the residual method as permitted by SOP 98-9, whereby (1) the total fair
6
DLOGILITY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements unaudited (continued)
October 31, 2006
value of the undelivered elements, as indicated by VSOE, is deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2 and (2) the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. We record revenues from sales of third-party products net of royalties, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent (EITF 99-19). Furthermore, in accordance with EITF 99-19, we evaluate sales through our indirect channel on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded gross or net, including but not limited to assessing whether or not we 1) act as principal in the transaction, 2) take title to the products, 3) have risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns, and 4) act as an agent or broker with compensation on a commission or fee basis. Accordingly, our sales through the DMI channel are typically recorded on a gross basis.
Maintenance. Revenue derived from maintenance contracts primarily includes telephone support, product updates, and releases of new versions of products previously purchased by the customer, as well as error reporting and correction services. Typically, we sell maintenance contracts for a separate fee with initial contractual periods ranging from one to three years with renewal for additional periods thereafter. We generally bill maintenance fees annually in advance. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. In situations where we bundle all or a portion of the maintenance fee with the license fee, VSOE for maintenance is based on prices when sold separately.
Services. Revenue derived from services primarily includes consulting, implementation, and training. We primarily bill fees under time and materials arrangements and recognized fees as we perform services. In accordance with the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-14: Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred (EITF No. 01-14), we recognize amounts received for reimbursement of travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred as revenues in the consolidated statements of operations under services and other.
Indirect Channel Revenue. We recognize revenues for sales we make through indirect channels principally when the distributor makes the sale to an end-user, when the license fee is fixed or determinable, the license fee is nonrefundable, and the sales meet all other conditions of SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-9.
Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance payments or billings for software licenses, services, and maintenance billed in advance of the time we recognize revenue.
F. Major Customer
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in the three months or six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005.
G. Net Earnings per Share of Common Stock
Basic net earnings per share of common stock available to common stockholders are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. We base diluted net earnings per share available to common stockholders on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential shares of common stock, such as dilutive stock options.

The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for each period is the same as net earnings. The denominator is based on the number of shares of common stock as shown in the following table:

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, we excluded options to purchase 117,590 and 34,590 and for the three and six months ended October 31, 2005, we excluded options to purchase 56,590 and 55,139 shares of common stock, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per share. We excluded these option share amounts because the exercise prices of those options were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the applicable period. As of October 31, 2006, we had a total of 763,582 options outstanding and as of October 31, 2005, we had a total of 824,052 options outstanding.
H. Stock-Based Compensation
As of October 31, 2006, we have a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described below. Prior to May 1, 2006, we accounted for this plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Substantially no expense associated with employee stock options was recognized prior to May 1, 2006 as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Effective May 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (SFAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized on or after May 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or after May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
We recorded stock option compensation cost of $105,000 and $203,000 and related income tax benefits of approximately $24,000 and $36,000 during the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, respectively. Compensation is recorded over the vesting period directly to additional paid-in capital.

October 31, 2006
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS 123(R) requires that cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated by tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows.
The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the fair value based method under SFAS 123 had been applied for the three and six months ended October 31, 2005 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

I. Stock Option Plan
Prior to August 7, 1997, the Company had not issued any stock options; however, certain employees of the Company received stock options of ASI. Effective August 7, 1997, the Company adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan (Stock Plan). The Stock Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to certain key employees and directors of the Company. The Stock Plan also allows for stock appreciation rights in lieu of or in addition to stock options. Options to purchase a maximum of 1,600,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 300,000 units of Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), as defined, may be granted under the Stock Plan. Existing options generally vest over a four-year period. The contractual terms of existing options generally are for ten years. There have been no SARs granted to date. In March 2005, the Board amended the stock option grant form for future grants to provide for a six-year award life and a five-year vesting period. In July 2006, Logilitys Board of Directors approved an amendment increasing the number of shares available for grant by 400,000 shares, which amendment was approved by shareholders in August 2006.
The Stock Plan further limits stock option grants by providing that the number of outstanding option shares, when added to the outstanding shares held by shareholders other than American Software, may not exceed 20% of the issued and outstanding shares, if it were assumed that all of the stock options were exercised. As of October 31, 2006, the number of additional option shares that the Company could grant was not affected by the limitation described above.

A summary of changes in outstanding options for the period ended October 31, 2006 is as follows:
Number of Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price |

Aggregate Intrinsic Value | ||||||||

Exercisable at October 31, 2006 |
564,607 | $ | 4.19 | 4.3 | $ | 2,771,553 | |||||
The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, was $4.57 and $3.39, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005:
2006 | 2005 | |||||
Dividend yield |
0 | % | 0 | % | ||
Expected volatility |
64.7 | % | 68.5 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate |
5.0 | % | 4.3 | % | ||
Expected term |
4.5 years | 4.5 years |
The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise and forfeiture rates. The expected term represents the period over which the share-based awards are expected to be outstanding and it has been determined using the shortcut method described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the stock options.
Options issued after May 1, 2006 with graded vesting are valued as a single award. The total value of the award is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. During the six months ended October 31 2006 and 2005, we issued 27,765 and 43,001 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 based on market value at the exercise dates was $171,951 and $127,800, respectively. As of October 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards totaled approximately $871,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

J. Agreements with American Software, Inc. (ASI)
We have entered into certain contractual arrangements with ASI, as described below. Because ASI owns a majority of our shares, the terms of these agreements do not reflect arms length negotiation. However, management believes that the rates negotiated in the agreements reflect fair market values.
Tax Sharing Agreement In accordance with the Companys Tax Sharing Agreement with ASI, the Company computes a separate, stand-alone income tax provision and settles balances due to or from ASI on this basis. However, all benefits derived from deferred tax assets, as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement (which include net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards), that arose prior to the initial public offering (originally in the amount of $5,768,000, of which $1,333,000 was used in 1998) were allocated to ASI. Accordingly, the Company will not receive any economic benefit from the $4,435,000 of contributed gross deferred tax assets, of which approximately $3,336,000 relate to pre-IPO NOLs that still remain as of April 30, 2006. Also, the Company has generated approximately $2,019,000 of net operating loss carryforwards (tax-effected) since the initial public offering which, under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, can be used by the Company to avoid making a payment to ASI. Of the $2,019,000 of net operating loss carryfowards, approximately $350,000 relates to deductions from the exercise of stock options. The income tax benefit when this portion of NOL is realized will be credited to additional paid-in capital. In accordance with FAS 109, these stock option NOLs will be the last to be utilized. To the extent the tax computation produces a tax benefit for the Company subsequent to the initial public offering; ASI will be required to pay such amounts to the Company only if and when realized by ASI by a reduction in income taxes payable with respect to the current tax period. At April 30, 2006, the Company had research and experimentation credit and AMT tax credit carry forwards, for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $50,000 and $243,000, respectively, which are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, through 2026, except for the AMT credit carryforward which does not expire.
During the three months ended October 31, 2005, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $4,994,000 by eliminating the income tax valuation allowance due to the improvement in the Companys reported results and expected future taxable income. As a result, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $2.5 million. In accordance with the Companys tax sharing agreement with ASI, the Company will not receive any economic benefit from the contributed pre-formation deferred tax assets (including net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards) of approximately $4.4 million. As a result, the Company has recorded the expected payment to ASI for these amounts (Deferred income taxesdue to American Software, Inc.) to shareholders equity (Additional paid-in capital) as a deemed distribution. In accordance with the Companys tax sharing agreement, the Company also recorded a deemed distribution of approximately $420,000 to shareholders equity (Additional paid-in capital) and an increase in the related party payable (Due to American Software, Inc.) relating to capitalized software contributed by ASI to Logility.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At October, 31, 2006, management continued to believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized by the Company.

The Services Agreement had an initial term of three years and is renewed automatically thereafter for successive one-year terms unless either party elects not to renew. The Services Agreement has been renewed annually since the initial term. We will indemnify ASI against any damages that ASI may incur in connection with its performance of services under the Services Agreement (other than those arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct), and ASI will indemnify us against any damages arising out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with ASIs rendering of services under the Services Agreement.
Facilities AgreementWe lease various properties from ASI for specified square foot rates pursuant to a Facilities Agreement dated August 1, 1997, which the parties have renewed automatically annually since the initial two-year term. The stated term of the agreement is for two years with automatic one year extensions; however, either party may terminate the agreement after a 90 day notice. ASI also allocates utilities, telephone and security expenses under this agreement based on our percentage of occupancy. Our lease of space at any facility under the agreement is limited by the term of the underlying lease between ASI and a landlord with respect to any facility leased by ASI and is subject to the disposition by ASI of any facility that ASI owns. The parties valued the services related to this agreement at $104,000 and $99,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 and $204,000 and $198,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Technology License AgreementWe have granted ASI a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide right and license to use, execute, reproduce, display, modify and prepare derivatives of our Supply Chain Planning and Execution Solutions, which we call the Logility Voyager Solutions product line (which ASI had transferred to us), so that ASI may maintain and support end-users of the software products and for no other purpose. The license is fully paid and royalty-free. Pursuant to this Agreement, the parties disclose to one another any enhancements and improvements that they may make or acquire in relation to a Logility Voyager Solutions product, subject to third-party confidentiality requirements. The term of this Agreement is indefinite, although we may terminate the Agreement for cause, and ASI may terminate it at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to us. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights to Logility Voyager Solutions products that we license to ASI revert to us, while all rights to enhancements and improvements ASI makes Logility Voyager Solutions products revert to ASI.

Stock Option AgreementWe have granted ASI an option to purchase that number of shares of our common stock that would enable ASI to maintain the 80% ownership percentage required to consolidate Logility in ASIs consolidated Federal income tax return. The purchase price of the option is the average of the closing price on each of the five business days immediately preceding the date of payment.
Reseller AgreementEffective May 1, 2005, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ASI for the resale of ASI products by Logility personnel. Specifically, we will pay a royalty equal to 30% of the net license fees recognized allocated to the ASI products sold, after discounts and revenue recognition adjustments. Any maintenance fees included in the arrangement will be pro-rated based on the net license fees. For the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded royalty expenses of approximately $0 and $41,000, respectively, and for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded royalty expenses of approximately $0 and $79,000, respectively. The related license fee revenues for such transactions are presented net of royalty expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, in accordance with EITF 99-19.
K. Lease Commitments
We occupy our principal office facilities under a facilities agreement with ASI dated August 1, 1997, that is cancelable upon 90-day notice by either party (see note J). Amounts allocated to the Company for rent expense for these facilities were $71,000 for both three months periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, and $142,000 for both six months periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. The Facilities Agreement, summarized above, is the basis for the calculation of these amounts. In addition, we have various other operating and facilities leases. Expense under these operating and facilities leases was $148,000 and $285,000 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 and $150,000 and $295,000 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2005, respectively.
L. New Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income taxes, and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation is based on a more likely than not approach. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company does not expect this Interpretation to have a material impact on its financial statements.
During June 2006 the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue 06-03: How Taxes Collected for Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross Versus Net Presentation). The task force reached a tentative conclusion on issue one that the scope of this issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority this is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise tax. The task force also reached a tentative conclusion on issue two that the presentation of taxes within the scope of issue one on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to
13
LOGILITY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Unaudited (Continued)
October 31, 2006
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policy. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The disclosure of those taxes can be done on an aggregate basis. The task force also reached a tentative conclusion that this Issue should be applied to financial reports for Interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company does not expect this Issue to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1N, Financial Statements-Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which expresses the Staffs views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements due to the current diversity in practice. SAB 108 will require companies to use two approaches when quantifying financial statement misstatements. We are required to adopt SAB 108 for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2007.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to our future financial performance, business strategy, financing plans and other future events that involve uncertainties and risks. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as anticipate, intend, plan, continue, could, grow, may, potential, predict, strive, will, seek, estimate, believe, expect, and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Any forward-looking statements we make herein are pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning future:
| results of operations; |
| liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures; |
| demand for and pricing of our products and services; |
| acquisition activities and the effect of completed acquisitions; |
| industry conditions and market conditions; and |
| general economic conditions. |
Although we believe that the goals, plans, expectations, and prospects that our forward-looking statements reflect are reasonable in view of the information currently available to us, those statements are not guarantees of performance. There are many factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements made herein. These factors include, but are not limited to, continuing economic uncertainty, the timing and degree of business recovery, unpredictability and the irregular pattern of future
14
revenues, competitive pressures, delays and other risks associated with new product development, the challenges and risks associated with integration of acquired product lines and companies, the effect of competitive products and pricing, the difficulty of predicting the effectiveness and duration of third-party marketing agreements, undetected software errors, and risks associated with market acceptance of our products and services. The terms fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 refer to our fiscal years ending April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Corporate capital spending trends and commitments are the primary determinants of the size of the market for business software. Corporate capital spending is, in turn, a function of general economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad. In recent years, the weakness in the overall world economy, and the U.S. economy in particular, has resulted in reduced expenditures in the business software market. Overall information technology spending continues to be relatively weak when compared to the period prior to the last economic downturn in 2001.
However, we believe information technology spending has incrementally improved in Fiscal 2007 and will continue to improve as increased global competition forces companies to improve productivity by upgrading their technology environment systems. Although this improvement could slow or regress at any time, we believe that our organizational and financial structure will enable us to take advantage of any sustained economic rebound. While our sales pipelines have improved over the last several quarters, customers continue to take longer to evaluate discretionary software purchases than generally was the case prior to 2001.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We provide collaborative supply chain solutions to help streamline and optimize the management, production and distribution of products between manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, carriers and other organizations and their respective trading partners. The supply chain refers to the complex network of relationships that organizations maintain with trading partners (customers, suppliers and carriers) to source, manufacture, and deliver products and services to the customer and includes demand chain, supply chain, logistics, warehouse management and business-to-business process management for collaborative relationships between customers, suppliers and carriers. Our solutions help enterprises build competitive advantages and increase profitability by significantly reducing costs, increasing revenues, improving operational efficiencies and collaborating with suppliers and customers to more effectively respond to dynamic market conditions.
We derive revenue primarily from three sources: software licenses, services and other, and maintenance. We generally determine software license fees based on the number of modules, servers, users and/or sites licensed. Services and other revenues consist primarily of fees from software implementation, training, consulting and customization services. We primarily bill under time and materials arrangements and recognize revenues as we perform services. Maintenance agreements typically are for a one- to three-year term and usually are entered into at the time of the initial product license. We generally bill maintenance fees annually in advance and then recognize the resulting revenues ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. Deferred revenues represent advance payments or billings for software licenses, services and maintenance billed in advance of the time we recognize the related revenues.
Our cost of revenue for licenses includes amortization of capitalized computer software development costs, salaries and benefits, and royalties paid to third-party software vendors as well as agent commission expenses related to license revenues generated by the indirect channel primarily from DMI. Costs for maintenance and services include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations and customer support, consulting, and other personnel-related
15
expenses as well as agent commission expenses related to maintenance revenues generated by the indirect channel primarily from DMI. We account for the development costs of software intended for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. We monitor the net realizable value of our capitalized software on a quarterly basis based on an estimate of future product revenues. We currently expect to fully recover the value of the capitalized software asset recorded on our consolidated balance sheet; however, if future product revenues are less than managements current expectations, we may incur a write-down of capitalized software costs.
Gross product research and development costs include all non-capitalized and capitalized software development costs which principally include the salary and benefits for our development personnel. Our selling expenses generally include the salary and commissions paid to our sales professionals, along with marketing, promotional, travel and associated costs. Our general and administrative expenses generally include the salary and benefits paid to executive, corporate and support personnel, as well as office rent, utilities, communications expenses, and various professional fees.
We currently view the following factors as the primary opportunities and risks associated with our business:
| The opportunity to expand the depth and number of strategic relationships with leading enterprise software providers, systems integrators and service providers to integrate our software solutions into their services and products and to create joint marketing opportunities; we currently have a number of marketing alliances, including those with SAP and IBM; |
| The opportunity for select acquisitions or investments to provide opportunities to expand our sales distribution channels, industry verticals , geographic reach and/or broaden our product offering by providing additional solutions for our target markets; |
| Our dependence on, and the risks associated with, the capital spending patterns of U.S. and international businesses, which in turn are functions of economic trends and conditions over which we have no control; |
| The risk that our competitors may develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology; and |
| The risks inherent in the market for business application software and related services, which has been and continues to be intensely competitive; some of our competitors may become more aggressive with their prices and/or payment terms, which may adversely affect our profit margins. |
A discussion of a number of additional risk factors associated with our business is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. See also Item 1A of Part II of this Report.
Business Acquisition
On September 30, 2004, we acquired certain assets and the distribution channel of privately-held Demand Management, Inc., a St. Louis-based provider of supply chain planning systems marketed under the Demand Solutions brand. The acquisition provided more than 800 active customers in the growing small and midsize business (SMB) market, which brought our customer base to approximately 1,100 companies, located in 70 countries and gives us what we believe to be the largest installed base of supply chain planning customers among application software vendors. Since the acquisition, we have continued to market and sell the Demand Solutions product line to the market through Demand Managements existing value-added reseller distribution network. We will also continue to offer the Logility Voyager Solutions suite to our traditional target market of upper-midsize to Fortune 1000 companies with distribution-intensive supply chains.

Recent Developments
Adoption of SFAS 123(R). Prior to May 1, 2006, we accounted for our employee stock option plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Substantially no stock-based employee compensation cost related to stock options was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for periods prior to May 1, 2006, as all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Effective May 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized on or after May 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to May 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. SFAS 123(R) requires that cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated by tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on May 1, 2006, our net earnings for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 were $81,000 and $167,000, respectively, net of related income tax benefit of $24,000 and $36,000, respectively, lower than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25.
The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions, including the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of the underlying share for the expected term of the option, the expected dividends on the underlying share for the expected term, and the risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option. Effective May 1, 2006, expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock. Previously, we had relied exclusively on historical volatility, disregarding periods of time in which our share price was extraordinarily volatile because of circumstances that were not expected to recur. We applied the short cut method as prescribed in SAB No. 107 to estimate the term that options are expected to be outstanding and used historical data to estimate the forfeiture rate of options granted. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant with a term approximating the expected term. Options issued after May 1, 2006 with graded vesting are valued as a single award. The total value of the award is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. During the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, we issued 27,765 and 43,001 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 based on market value at the exercise dates was $171,951 and $127,800, respectively. As of October 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards totaled approximately $871,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
OCTOBER 31, 2006 AND 2005:
REVENUES:
For the quarter ended October 31, 2006, the increase in revenues from the three months ended October 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to increases in services and maintenance revenues. This increase was partially offset by a slight decrease in license fees revenue. The increase in revenues for the six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to increases in all revenues streams, license fees, services and maintenance revenues. The primary reasons for these increases were improved selling environment compared to the same period in the prior year. We believe that in recent quarters economic and industry conditions have improved, and market receptiveness for our products has improved as a result of an increase in business spending on supply chain software technology. International revenues represented approximately 15% of total revenues for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, respectively and 17% and 14% for the three and six months ended October 31, 2005, respectively. Our revenues particularly our international revenues may fluctuate substantially from period to period primarily because we derive most of our license fee revenues from a relatively small number of customers in a given period. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 or 2005.
LICENSES. The 7% decrease in license fees in the three months ended October 31, 2006 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to timing of closing license fee deals. The 10% increase in license fees in the six months ended October 31, 2006, respectively, compared to the same period last year was primarily due to the result of the improved selling environment and better sales execution in contracting license fees. The direct sales channel provided approximately 54% and 63%, respectively, of license fee revenues for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 compared to approximately 79% and 77%, respectively, in the comparable period a year ago. This decrease in direct sales was due primarily due to improved sales execution from our indirect channel increasing the ratio of sales from our indirect channel when compared to the same periods last year. For both the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, our margins after commissions on direct sales were approximately 85% and our margins after commissions on indirect sales were approximately 48% and 44%, respectively. This compares to the three and six months ended October 31, 2005, during which our margins after commissions on direct sales were approximately 90% for both periods and our margins after commissions on indirect sales were approximately 49%. These margin calculations include only commission expense for comparative purposes and do not include other costs of license fees such as amortization of capitalized software.
SERVICES AND OTHER. The 19% and 8% increase in services and other revenues for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, respectively, from the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year were primarily the result of an increase in overall software implementation services related to timing of project work as a result of increase license fee sales in previous quarters. We have observed that there is a tendency for services and other revenues to lag changes in license revenues by one to three quarters, as new licenses in one quarter often involve implementation and consulting services in subsequent quarters, for which we recognize revenues only as we perform those services.
MAINTENANCE. The 17% and 19% increase in maintenance revenues for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, respectively compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year were primarily the result of the increase in license fees in the prior periods, which resulted in increase maintenance revenues in the current quarter. Also, to a lesser extent, the increase reflects the diminishing effect of purchase accounting on maintenance revenue from the DMI acquisition. The purchase accounting write-down in DMIs deferred revenues associated with technical support services resulted in lower maintenance revenues of $68,000 that would have otherwise been recognized in the quarter ended October 31, 2005 compared to no effect in quarter ended October 31, 2006. Typically, our maintenance revenues have had a direct relationship to current and historic license fee revenues, since new licenses are the potential source of new maintenance customers.

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, the decrease in total gross margin percentage was due primarily to a decrease in license fee and maintenance gross margin percentages partially offset by an increase in the services margin.
LICENSES. The decrease in gross margin percentage on license fees for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 were due to an increase in expense related to amortization of capitalized software development costs when compared to the same periods in the prior year and to a lesser extent an increase in indirect sales resulted in an increase in indirect commission expense. License fee gross margin percentage tends to be directly related to the level of license fee revenues due to the relatively fixed cost of computer software amortization expense and amortization of acquired software, which are the primary components of cost of license fees. To a lesser degree, our license fee gross margin percentage in a given period is related to the variable expense of DMIs agent commissions, and the proportion of license fees represented by DMI in that period.
SERVICES AND OTHER. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, services and other gross margin percentage increased when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to increased software implementation project work from license fee sales in the prior quarters. Services and other gross margin normally is directly related to the level of services and other revenues. The primary component of cost of services and other revenues is services staffing, which is relatively fixed in the short term.
MAINTENANCE. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, maintenance gross margin percentage slightly decreased due to increased sales from our indirect sales channel which results in increased indirect commissions expense related to maintenance sales.

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, capitalized software development costs decreased while gross product research and development costs increased when compared to the prior year period. These changes
22
were due to increased research and development costs and a decrease in projects which qualify for capitalization. We expect capitalized product development costs to be lower in coming quarters as a result of fewer capitalizable R&D projects in the pipeline. However, we expect capitalized software amortization expense to remain relatively consistent with the current quarter for the remainder of fiscal 2007.
SALES AND MARKETING. For the three months ended October 31, 2006, sales and marketing expenses were $2.4 million, a 3% decrease from the comparable period a year ago due primarily to a decrease in the overall company sales commissions as a result of lower license fee sales in the quarter. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, sales and marketing expenses were $4.9 million, a 5% increase from the comparable period a year ago. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the overall company sales commissions as a result of higher license fee sales compared to the same period a year ago. We generally include commissions on indirect sales in cost of sales.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, the decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily lower bonus compensation expense when compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by employee stock option expense not included in the Companys prior years financial results. For the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, the total number of employees was approximately 137 and 140, respectively.
AMORTIZATION OF ACQUISITION-RELATED INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Acquisition-related intangible assets of DMI are stated at historical cost and include certain intangible assets with definitive lives. We are amortizing these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives of three to six years.
OTHER INCOME:
Other income is principally comprised of investment earnings. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, the investment earnings increased by approximately $261,000 and $461,000, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year due primarily to an increase in the average cash balance and improved yield on interest rates, particularly on money market accounts. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, these investments generated an annualized yield of approximately 5.41% and 5.15%, respectively, compared to approximately 3.36% and 3.10%, respectively, for the three and six months ended October 31, 2005. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2005, these investment earnings were partially offset by a write-down of a minority investment of $160,000.
INCOME TAXES:
We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by American Software; however, we provide for income taxes as if we were filing a separate income tax return. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using statutory tax rates in effect in the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. We establish a deferred tax asset for the expected future benefit of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, we cannot recognize a deferred tax asset for the future benefit of our net operating losses, tax credits and temporary differences unless we can establish that it is more likely than not that we would realize the deferred tax asset. Due to the improvement of our reported results and projection of future taxable income, we have recognized a tax asset and have eliminated the valuation allowance against our recognizable net deferred tax assets in the quarter ended October 31, 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 109. We recorded $792,000 in income tax expense in the quarter ended October 31, 2006 compared to a tax benefit of $2.5 million in the quarter ended October 31, 2005. We expect the Companys tax effective rate to be in the range of 39% to 42% during fiscal year 2007.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Sources and Uses of Cash
We have historically funded, and continue to fund, our operations and capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from operating activities. The changes in net cash that operating activities provide generally reflect changes in our net earnings and non-cash operating items plus the effect of changes in our operating assets and liabilities, such as trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. We have no debt obligations or off-balance sheet financing arrangements, and therefore we use no cash for debt service purposes.
The following tables show summary information about our cash flows and liquidity positions during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. You should read this table and the discussion that follows in conjunction with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows contained in Item 1. Financial Statements in Part I of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.

For the six months ended October 31, 2006, the increase in cash provided by operating activities when compared to the same period last year was due primarily to increases in deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense when compared to the same period last year. This increase was partially offset by a change in accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accruals. The decrease in cash used in investing activities when compared to the same period in the prior year period was due primarily to net purchases of investments and lower spending on capitalized software. Cash used in financing activities decreased compared to the same period in the prior year, due primarily to the repurchases of our common stock and a deemed distribution for deferred income taxes resulting from the tax sharing agreement in the six months ended October 31, 2005.
The following table shows net changes in total cash, cash equivalents, and investments, which is one measure management uses to view net total cash generated (used) by our activities:

The change in total cash generated for the six months ended October 31,2006 when compared to cash used in the comparable period in the prior year was due primarily to the changes in operating assets and liabilities noted above.
Days Sales Outstanding in accounts receivable were 86 days as of October 31, 2006, compared to 65 days as of October 31, 2005. The DSO increased as of October 31, 2006 compared to October 31, 2005 due primarily to timing of closing license fees sales toward the end of the current quarter which resulted in an increase in accounts receivable balance. Our current ratio on October 31, 2006 was 2.1 to 1, compared to 2.2 to 1 on April 30, 2006.
As a result of the positive cash flow from operations our business has generated in recent periods, and because we have $29.8 million in cash and investments, we believe that our sources of liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our presently anticipated requirements during at least the next twelve months for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate needs. However, at some future date we may need to seek additional sources of capital to meet our requirements. If such need arises, we may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. Neither we nor American Software currently have a bank line of credit. We can provide no assurance that bank lines of credit or other financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. If available, such financing may result in dilution to our shareholders or higher interest expense.
On December 15, 1997, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing us to repurchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock through open market purchases at prevailing market prices. We completed this repurchase plan in November 1998, at which time we adopted an additional repurchase plan for up to 800,000 shares. In February 2003, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing us to repurchase an additional 400,000 shares for a total authorized repurchase amount of 1,550,000 shares. The timing of any repurchases would depend on market conditions, the market price of Logilitys common stock and managements assessment of our liquidity and cash flow needs. For all repurchase authorizations, through October 31, 2006, we had purchased a cumulative total of approximately 1,296,104 shares at a total cost of approximately $7.8 million. We repurchased 15,000 shares of our common stock in the quarter ended October 31, 2006. See Part II, Item 2 for a table summarizing stock repurchases in the last quarter, and the number of remaining shares available for purchase under existing repurchase authorizations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation is based on a more likely than not approach. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company does not expect this Interpretation to have a material impact on its financial statements.
During June 2006 the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue 06-03: How Taxes Collected for Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross Versus Net Presentation). The task force reached a tentative conclusion on issue one that the scope of this issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority this is directly imposed on a revenue-producing
25
transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise tax. The task force also reached a tentative conclusion on issue two that the presentation of taxes within the scope of issue one on either a gross(included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policy. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The disclosure of those taxes can be done on an aggregate basis. The task force also reached a tentative conclusion that this Issue should be applied to financial reports for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company does not expect this Issue to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1N, Financial Statements-Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which expresses the Staffs views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements due to the current diversity in practice. SAB 108 will require companies to use two approaches when quantifying financial statement misstatements. We are required to adopt SAB 108 for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2007.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have based the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, describes the significant accounting policies that we have used in preparing our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to those related to revenue/vendor specific object evidence (VSOE), bad debts, capitalized software costs, goodwill, intangible asset impairment, stock-based compensation, income taxes and contingencies. 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. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the critical accounting policies listed below affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions. We recognize license revenues in connection with license agreements for standard proprietary software upon delivery of the software, provided we deem collection to be probable, the fee is fixed or determinable, there is evidence of an arrangement, and vendor specific objective evidence exists with respect to any undelivered elements of the arrangement. We generally bill maintenance fees annually in advance and
26
recognize the resulting revenues ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. We derive revenues from services which primarily include consulting, implementation, and training. We bill for these services primarily under time and materials arrangements and recognize fees as we perform the services. Deferred revenues represent advance payments or billings for software licenses, services, and maintenance billed in advance of the time we recognize revenues. We record revenues from sales of third-party products net of royalties, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent (EITF 99-19). Furthermore, in accordance with EITF 99-19, we evaluate sales through our indirect channel on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded gross or net, including but not limited to assessing whether or not the company 1) acts as principal in the transaction, 2) takes title to the products, 3) has risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns, and 4) acts as an agent or broker with compensation on a commission or fee basis. Accordingly, our sales through the DMI channel are typically recorded gross.
Generally, our software products do not require significant modification or customization. Installation of the products is routine and is not essential to the functionality of the product. Our sales frequently include maintenance contracts and professional services with the sale of our software licenses. We have established vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) for our maintenance contracts and professional services. We determine fair value based upon the prices we charge to customers when we sell these elements separately. We defer maintenance revenues, including those sold with the initial license fee, based on VSOE, and recognize the revenue ratably over the maintenance contract period. We recognize consulting and training service revenues, including those sold with license fees, as we perform the services based on their established VSOE. We determine the amount of revenue we allocate to the licenses sold with services or maintenance using the residual method of accounting. Under the residual method, we allocate the total value of the arrangement first to the undelivered elements based on their VSOE and allocate the remainder to license fees.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of these customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, we may require additional allowances or we may defer revenue until we determine that collectibility is probable. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when we evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Valuation of Acquired Business. In fiscal 2005, we made a business acquisition. We are required to allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at date of acquisition. Prior to this allocation, we are required to identify intangible assets and assign a value to these intangible assets based on their fair value. Determining the fair value of identifiable intangible assets requires management to estimate future cash flows for the related assets and the useful life of such assets. We recognize the excess of the cost of the acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. We amortize intangible assets over their useful lives and evaluate goodwill on an annual basis. Consequently, our estimates determine the timing and the amount of expense recognized in our financial statements.
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), we do not amortize goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives. Our goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests, which require us to estimate the fair value of our business compared to the carrying value. The impairment reviews require an analysis of future projections and assumptions about our operating performance. Should such review indicate the assets are impaired, we would record an expense for the impaired assets.
27
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (SFAS No. 144), long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability would be measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The determination of estimated future cash flows, however, requires management to make estimates. Future events and changes in circumstances may require us to record a significant impairment charge in the period in which such events or changes occur. Impairment testing requires considerable analysis and judgment in determining results. If other assumptions and estimates were used in our evaluations, the results could differ significantly.
Annual tests or other future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that our goodwill is impaired. For example, if we had reason to believe that our recorded goodwill and intangible assets had become impaired due to decreases in the fair market value of the underlying business, we would have to take a charge to income for that portion of goodwill or intangible assets that we believed was impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. At October 31, 2006, our goodwill balance was $5.8 million and our intangible assets with definite lives balance was $1.5 million, net of accumulated amortization.
Valuation of Capitalized Software Assets. We capitalize certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers. We make ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of our capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, we write-off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenues associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs is included in the cost of license revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation. Effective May 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized on or after May 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or after May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. SFAS 123(R) requires that cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated by tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows.
Management judgments and assumptions related to volatility, the expected term and the forfeiture rate are made in connection with the calculation of stock compensation expense. We periodically review all assumptions used in our stock option pricing model. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the amount of stock compensation expense.
28
Income Taxes. We provide for the effect of income taxes on our financial position and results of operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this accounting pronouncement, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and for the change in net deferred tax assets or liabilities resulting from events that are recorded for financial reporting purposes in a different reporting period than recorded in the tax return. Management must make significant assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against our net deferred tax asset. Our judgments, assumptions and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our financial position and results of operations. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax asset take into account our expectations of the amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years, which could significantly increase tax expense, could render inaccurate our current assumptions, judgments and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency. For the quarter ended October 31, 2006, we generated approximately 15% of our revenues outside the United States. We usually make international sales directly through our foreign operations or through value added resellers. We typically denominate these sales in U.S. Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, or Euros. However, we denominate the expenses that we incur in our foreign operations in the local currency. The effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations have not historically had a material impact on our financial consolidated statements. Where transactions may be denominated in foreign currencies, we are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2006, we recorded an exchange rate gain of $33,000 and $42,000 compared to an exchange rate gain of $1,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2005 and a loss of $14,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2005. We estimate that a 10% movement in foreign currency rates would have up to $490,000 exchange gain or loss on our financial condition or results of operations. We have not engaged in any hedging activities.
Interest rates and other market risks. We have no debt, so we have limited our discussion of interest rate risk to risks associated with our investment portfolio. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining an investment portfolio of held-to-maturity instruments with high credit quality and relatively short average maturities. These instruments include, but are not limited to, money-market instruments, bank time deposits, and taxable and tax-advantaged variable rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and national, state, and local government agencies, in accordance with our investment policy. These instruments are denominated in U.S. Dollars. The fair market value and carrying value of securities held at October 31, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $29.3 million and $24.8 million, respectively.
We also hold cash balances in accounts with commercial banks in the United States and foreign countries. These cash balances represent operating balances only and are invested in short-term time deposits of a local bank. The operating cash balances we hold at banks outside the United States are minor and denominated in the local currency.
Many of our investments carry a degree of interest rate risk. When interest rates fall, our income from investments in variable-rate securities declines. When interest rates rise, the fair market value of our investments in fixed-rate securities declines. Should our liquidity needs force us to sell fixed-rate securities prior to maturity, we may
29
experience a loss of principal. We attempt to limit our exposure to the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations by holding fixed-rate securities to maturity and by limiting our investments to those with relatively short maturities. Accordingly, we believe that fluctuations in interest rates will not have a material affect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Inflation. Although we cannot accurately determine the amounts attributable thereto, we have been affected by inflation through increased costs of employee compensation and other operational expenses. To the extent permitted by the marketplace for our products and services, we attempt to recover increases in costs by periodically increasing prices.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the assistance of our Disclosure Committee, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2006. 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 report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2006.
We believe our financial statements fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) within the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
We are not currently involved in legal proceedings requiring disclosure under this item.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.
