CALLIDUS SOFTWARE INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Callidus Software Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations regarding interim financial statements. All amounts included herein related to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
     Principles of Consolidation
     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Callidus Software Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), which include wholly owned subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
     Certain Risks and Uncertainties
     The Company’s products and services are concentrated in the software industry, which is characterized by rapid technological advances and changes in customer requirements. A critical success factor is management’s ability to anticipate or to respond quickly and adequately to technological developments in its industry and changes in customer requirements. Any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.
     Historically, a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues have been derived from sales of its products and services to customers in the financial and insurance industries. The substantial disruptions in these industries under the current economy may result in these customers deferring or cancelling future planned expenditures on the Company’s products and services. The Company is also subject to fluctuations in sales for the TrueComp product. Continued macroeconomic weakness may keep potential customers from purchasing or renewing the Company’s products.
     Use of Estimates
     Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the SEC requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the allocation of the value of purchase consideration for business acquisitions, uncertain tax liabilities, valuation of certain investments, allowances for doubtful accounts and service remediation reserves, the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, accrued liabilities and other contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates such estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and considers other factors, including the current economic environment, for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such evaluation. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Changes in those estimates, if any, resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Table of Contents

     Foreign Currency Translation
     The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. Accordingly, the foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average rates during each reporting period for the results of operations. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
     Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk
     The fair value of some of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their respective carrying value due to their short maturity. See Note 5 — Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the valuation of the Company’s financial instruments for which the fair value does not approximate the carrying value. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are short-term investments, long-term investments and trade receivables. The Company mitigates concentration of risk by monitoring ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades for all bank counterparties on at least a quarterly basis. Based on the Company’s ongoing assessment of counterparty risk, the Company will adjust its exposure to various counterparties.
     Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and the dispersion of such customer base across different geographic locations throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had one customer comprising greater than 10% of net accounts receivable. The Company had no customers comprising greater than 10% of net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009.
     Restricted Cash
     Included in prepaid and other current assets and deposits and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is restricted cash totaling $832,000 and $232,000, respectively, related to security deposits on leased facilities for the Company’s New York, New York, San Jose, California and Pleasanton, California offices. The restricted cash represents investments in certificates of deposit required by landlords to meet security deposit requirements for the leased facilities. Restricted cash is included in prepaid and other current assets and deposits and other assets based on the contractual term for the release of the restriction.
     Revenue Recognition
     The Company generates revenues by providing its software applications as a service through its on-demand subscription and providing related professional services to its customers, as well as by licensing software on a perpetual basis or on a time-based term basis and providing related software support. The Company presents revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.
     The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with accounting standards for software and service companies. The Company will not recognize revenue until persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is deemed probable. The Company evaluates each of these criteria as follows:
Evidence of an Arrangement. The Company considers a non-cancelable agreement signed by it and the customer to be evidence of an arrangement.

7


Table of Contents

     Delivery. In on-demand arrangements, the Company considers delivery to have occurred as the service is provided to the customer, and they have access to the hosting environment. In both perpetual and time-based term licensing arrangements, the Company considers delivery to have occurred when the customer either (a) takes possession of the software via a download (i.e., when the customer takes possession of the electronic data on its hardware) or (b) has been provided with access codes that allow the customer to take immediate possession of the software on its hardware pursuant to an agreement or purchase order for the software. The Company’s typical end-user license agreement does not include customer acceptance provisions.
     Fixed or Determinable Fee. The Company considers the fee to be fixed or determinable unless the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within its standard payment terms. The Company considers payment terms greater than 90 days to be beyond its customary payment terms. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes the revenue as amounts become due and payable.
     In perpetual licensing arrangements where the customer is obligated to pay at least 90% of the license amount within normal payment terms and the remaining 10% is to be paid within a year from the contract effective date, the Company will recognize the license revenue for the entire arrangement upon delivery assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. This policy is effective as long as the Company continues to maintain a history of providing similar terms to customers and collecting from those customers without providing any contractual concessions.
     Collection is Deemed Probable. The Company conducts a credit review for all significant transactions at the time of the arrangement to determine the creditworthiness of the customer. Collection is deemed probable if the Company expects that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as payments become due. If the Company determines that collection is not probable, the Company defers the recognition of revenue until cash collection.
     Recurring Revenue
     Recurring revenues include on-demand revenues, time-based term license revenues and maintenance revenues. On-demand revenues are principally derived from technical operation fees earned through the Company’s services offering of the on-demand TrueComp suite, as well as revenues generated from business operations services. Time-based term license revenues are derived from fees earned through the licensing of the Company’s software bundled with maintenance for a specified period of time. Maintenance revenues are derived from maintaining, supporting and providing periodic updates for the Company’s licensed software. Customers that own perpetual licenses can receive the benefits of upgrades, updates and support from either subscribing to the Company’s on-demand services or purchasing maintenance services.
     On-Demand Revenue. In arrangements where the Company provides its software applications as a service, the Company has considered accounting guidance for arrangements that include the right to use software stored on another entity’s hardware and non-software deliverables in an arrangement containing more-than-incidental software, and has concluded that these transactions are considered service arrangements and fall outside of the scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Accordingly, the Company follows the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and accounting guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Customers will typically prepay for the Company’s on-demand services, which amounts the Company defers and recognizes ratably over the non-cancelable term of the customer contract. In addition to the on-demand services, these arrangements may also include implementation and configuration services, which are billed on a time-and-materials basis. In determining whether the consulting services can be accounted for separately from on-demand revenues, the Company considers the following factors for each consulting agreement: availability of the consulting services from other vendors; whether objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements; the nature of the consulting services; the timing of when the consulting contract is signed in comparison to the on-demand service contract; and the contractual dependence of the consulting work on the on-demand service.
     For all of the arrangements where the elements qualify for separate units of accounting, the on-demand revenues are recognized ratably over the non-cancelable contract term, which is typically 12 to 24 months, beginning on the date the on-demand services begin to be performed. Implementation and configuration services, when sold with the on-demand offering, are recognized as the services are rendered for time-and-materials contracts. The majority of the Company’s implementation and configuration services for on-demand arrangements are accounted for in this manner. If implementation and configuration services associated with an on-demand arrangement do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting, the Company will recognize the revenue from implementation and configuration services ratably over the remaining non-cancelable term of the on-demand contract once the implementation is complete. For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates the total contractual arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the fair value of the undelivered and delivered items.

Table of Contents

     In addition, the Company will defer the direct costs of the implementation and configuration services and amortize those costs over the same time period as the related revenue is recognized. The deferred costs on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for these consulting arrangements totaled $2.9 million and $1.8 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $2.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of the deferred costs are included in prepaid and other current assets, with the remaining amount included in deposits and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
     Included in the deferred costs for on-demand arrangements is the deferral of commission payments to the Company’s direct sales force, which the Company amortizes over the non-cancelable term of the contract as the related revenue is recognized. The commission payments are a direct and incremental cost of the revenue arrangements. The deferral of commission expenditures related to the Company’s on-demand offering was $1.3 million and $1.0 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
     Time-Based Term License. The Company offers on-premise licenses of its software as a time-based term license arrangement. Such arrangements typically include an initial fee, which covers the time-based term license for a specified period and the maintenance and support for the first year of the arrangement. If a customer wishes to receive maintenance after the first year, then the customer must pay the maintenance fee for each year it wishes to receive maintenance. Revenue for these arrangements is generally recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
     For a Single-Year Time-based Term License that is sold with multiple elements, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably. In these arrangements, both the time-based term licenses and the maintenance agreements have durations of one year; therefore, the fair value of the bundled maintenance services is not reliably measured by reference to a maintenance renewal rate. In these situations, the Company will defer all revenue until either the services or the maintenance is the only undelivered element. If the maintenance term expires before the services are completed, the entire arrangement fee would be recognized ratably over the remaining period during which the services are completed (beginning upon expiration of the maintenance term). If services are completed before the maintenance term expires, the entire fee will be recognized ratably over the remaining maintenance period. In these arrangements, the Company will defer all direct costs of the implementation and configuration services, and amortize those costs over the same time period as the related revenue is recognized. Sales commissions and partner fees attributable to the sale of Time-based Term Licenses are deferred and amortized over the same period as the related revenue is recognized.
     Multi-Year Time-based Term License arrangements often include multiple elements (e.g., software technology, maintenance, training, consulting and other services). The Company allocates revenue to each element of the arrangement based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of each element’s fair value when the Company can demonstrate that sufficient evidence exists of the fair value for the undelivered elements. The fair value of each element in multiple element arrangements is determined based on either (i) in the case of maintenance, providing the customer with the ability during the term of the arrangement to renew maintenance at a substantive renewal rate, or (ii) in the case of professional services, selling the element on a stand-alone basis.
     In Multi-Year Time-based Term License arrangements that include multiple elements and for which fair value of VSOE cannot be established for the undelivered elements, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the remaining non-cancellable term of the arrangement after completion of professional services, if any.
     Similar to certain on-demand arrangements as described above, the Company will defer the direct costs, and amortize those costs over the same time period as the related revenue is recognized. The deferred costs on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for these arrangements totaled $0.6 million and $0.1 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, $0.1 million of the deferred costs are included in prepaid and other current assets, with the remaining amount included in deposits and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2009, no amounts of the deferred costs are included in deposits and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred costs mainly represent commission payments to the Company’s direct sales force for time-based term license arrangements, which the Company amortizes over the non-cancelable term of the contract as the related revenue is recognized. The commission payments are a direct and incremental cost of the revenue arrangements.

     Maintenance Revenue. Under perpetual software license arrangements, a customer typically pre-pays maintenance for the first twelve months, and the related maintenance revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the initial maintenance contract. Maintenance is renewable by the customer on an annual basis thereafter. Rates for maintenance, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.
     Services Revenue
     Professional Service Revenue. Professional service revenues primarily consist of integration services related to the integration and configuration of the Company’s products as well as training. The Company’s integration and configuration services do not involve customization to, or development of, the underlying software code. Generally, the Company’s professional services arrangements are on a time-and-materials basis. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are included in services revenues, and an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in cost of services revenues. For professional service arrangements with a fixed fee, the Company recognizes revenue utilizing the proportional performance method of accounting. The Company estimates the proportional performance on fixed-fee services contracts on a monthly basis, if possible, utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of performance. To the extent the Company enters into a fixed-fee services contract, a loss will be recognized any time the total estimated project cost exceeds project revenues.
     In certain arrangements, the Company has provided for unique acceptance criteria associated with the delivery of professional services. In these instances, the Company has recognized revenue in accordance with the provisions of SAB 104. To the extent there is contingent revenue in these arrangements, the Company will defer the revenue until the contingency has lapsed.
     Perpetual License Revenue
     The Company’s perpetual software license arrangements typically include: (i) an end-user license fee paid in exchange for the use of its products, generally based on a specified number of payees, and (ii) a maintenance arrangement that provides for technical support and product updates, generally over renewable twelve month periods. If the Company is selected to provide integration and configuration services, then the software arrangement will also include professional services, generally priced on a time-and-materials basis. Depending upon the elements in the arrangement and the terms of the related agreement, the Company recognizes license revenues under either the residual or the contract accounting method.
     Certain arrangements result in the payment of customer referral fees to third parties that resell the Company’s software products. In these arrangements, license revenues are recorded, net of such referral fees, at the time the software license has been delivered to a third-party reseller and an end-user customer has been identified.
     The Company recognizes license revenues using the residual method pursuant to the requirements of accounting guidance for software revenue recognition. Under the residual method, revenues are recognized when vendor-specific objective evidence for fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement (i.e. professional services and maintenance), but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement (i.e. the software product). The Company allocates revenue to each undelivered element based on its fair value, with the fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. For a certain class of transactions, the fair value of the maintenance portion of the Company’s arrangements is based on substantive stated renewal rates rather than stand-alone sales. The fair value of the professional services portion of the arrangement is based on the hourly rates that the Company charges for these services when sold independently from a software license. If evidence of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of a license agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is deferred until evidence of fair value can be established, or until the items for which evidence of fair value cannot be established are delivered. If the only undelivered element is maintenance, then the entire amount of revenue is recognized over the maintenance delivery period.

     Cost of Revenues
     Cost of recurring revenues consists primarily of salaries, benefits, allocated overhead costs related to on-demand operations and technical support personnel, as well as allocated amortization of purchased technology. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of amortization of purchased technology. Cost of services revenues consists primarily of salaries, benefits, travel and allocated overhead costs related to consulting, training and other professional services personnel, including cost of services provided by third-party consultants engaged by the Company.
     Net Loss Per Share
     Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average common shares outstanding, adjusted for all dilutive potential common shares, which includes shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common stock options, the release of restricted stock and purchases of employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) shares to the extent these shares are dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the diluted net loss per share calculation was the same as the basic net loss per share calculation, as all potential common shares were anti-dilutive.
     Diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following potential weighted average common shares because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented (in thousands):

     The weighted-average exercise price of stock options excluded from weighted average common shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $4.44 and $4.52 per share, respectively, as compared to the weighted average exercise price of stock options excluded from weighted average common shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $4.71 and $4.11 per share, respectively.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update on improving disclosures about fair value measurements to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements and the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of fair value measurements are defined in Note 5 below. We adopted the new disclosure requirements and clarifications of existing disclosures in the first quarter of 2010, 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 interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010.
2. Acquisition
     On January 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Actek, Inc. Actek delivers commission and incentive compensation software solutions to automate the process of calculating and managing complex commission, incentive and bonus pay arrangements. The acquisition expanded the Company’s product offerings to include commissions and compliance software for complex selling environments for the insurance and financial services industries.

Table of Contents

     The acquisition has been accounted for under the FASB’s accounting standard for business combinations, which the Company adopted as of the beginning of fiscal 2009. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of January 1, 2010. The Company has included the financial results of Actek in its condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, Actek contributed $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, to the Company’s total revenues. The acquisition was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
     The following table summarizes the aggregate purchase price consideration paid for Actek as of the date of acquisition (in thousands):
         
Closing Cash Payment
  $ 1,651  
Closing Stock Issuance — Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
    453  
Fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration
    517  
Additional purchase price for net working capital adjustment
    270  
 
     
Fair value of total consideration transferred
  $ 2,891  
 
     
     On January 1, 2010, upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company paid Actek’s sole stockholder $2.1 million in a combination of cash and common stock. The fair value of the common stock issued as part of the consideration paid for Actek was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date.
     As part of the acquisition, the Company also agreed to pay additional consideration contingent on Actek retaining 90% of its recurring revenue during the one-year period following the acquisition (the “Milestone”). The Milestone payment consists of three components: (i) $600,000 in cash (the “Cash”); (ii) 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of a restricted stock unit (the “RSU”); and (iii) 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”). The RSU and the Option were awarded and granted, respectively, after the acquisition on the last trading day of January 2010. The Cash will be paid if Actek has retained 90% of its recurring revenue in the first year subsequent to the acquisition date, and the RSU and Option shall each vest in full, if the Company’s board of directors determines after the one-year anniversary of the acquisition that: i) the former sole stockholder of Actek is still employed with the Company on the first anniversary of the acquisition or was earlier terminated by the Company other than for cause and has signed an acceptable full release of claims and ii) Actek has retained 90% of its recurring revenue.
     The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was probability-weighted to reflect the likelihood that the Milestone will be achieved at the valuation date. Because the vesting of the RSU and Option are subject to the continued employment of Actek’s sole stockholder, these contingent payments are considered compensatory and thus not part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the RSU and Option of $0.5 million is recorded as stock-based compensation in general and administrative expenses over the service period of one year, while the cash contingent consideration is included in the total purchase price, and will be paid upon the achievement of the related contingencies. The RSU and Option compensation is classified as equity, and will not be remeasured after the acquisition date. The cash contingent consideration is classified as a liability. Subsequent changes in fair value for liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized in earnings and not as an adjustment to the purchase price.
     As of September 30, 2010, the amount recognized for the contingent consideration arrangement, the range of outcomes and the assumptions used to develop the estimates have not materially changed. The possibility of achieving the Milestone slightly increased, resulting in an increase in the fair value of cash contingent consideration of $63,000 from January 1, 2010, which we recorded as operating expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We also paid $270,000 in the second quarter of 2010 for the additional purchase price for the net working capital adjustment.

     Purchase Price Allocation
     The total purchase price for Actek was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their preliminary fair value at the acquisition date as set forth below. The Company finalized the purchase price allocations during the second quarter of 2010 with no adjustments to the preliminary amounts.

     The Company considered uncertainty about collections and future cash flow when determining the fair value of the accounts receivable. The fair value of accounts receivable of $1.0 million represents gross contractual accounts receivable as all amounts were determined to be collectible.
     Valuation of Intangible Assets Acquired
     The following table sets forth each component of intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition:
(in thousands)
                 
            Estimated  
    Preliminary     Useful  
    Fair Value     Life  
Customer relationships
  $ 644     12 years
Developed Technology
    524     7 years

    302     Indefinite
Favorable Lease
    40     4 years
 
             
Total Intangible Assets
  $ 1,510          
 
             
     Customer relationships represent the fair value of the underlying customer support contracts and related relationships with Actek’s existing customers. The estimated useful life of 12 years was primarily based on projected customer retention rates. Developed technology represents the fair values of Actek’s products that have reached technological feasibility. The estimated useful life of 7 years was primarily based on projected product cycle and technology evolution. The tradename represents the fair value of brand and name recognition associated with the marketing of Actek’s products and services. The Company intends to use Actek’s tradename indefinitely. The favorable lease represents the fair value of a below market operating lease assumed by the Company related to an office facility located in Alabama. The estimated useful life was based on the remaining lease term. The Company utilized the income approach applying assumptions for future cash flow and discount rates using current market trends to determine the fair value.
     Of the liabilities assumed by the Company through the acquisition, $759,000 was related to sales tax payable and $899,000 was related to debt that was repaid in the first quarter of 2010.
     The excess of the purchase price over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the acquisition mainly consists of the entity-specific synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the two companies.

     Acquisition Related Expenses
     Acquisition related expenses mainly consist of direct transaction costs such as professional service fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred a total of $121,000 acquisition-related expenses associated with the Actek acquisition. These direct transactions costs were recorded as expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
3. Restructuring
     During the first nine months of 2010, the Company approved cost savings programs to reduce the workforce and certain facilities. The Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $1.7 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, associated with these programs. These cost savings programs were substantially completed as of the end of the third quarter of 2010. Total costs of the Company’s restructuring programs incurred to date were $7.8 million.
     The following table sets forth a summary of accrued restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

     Intangible assets include third-party software licenses used in the Company’s products, acquired assets related to the Compensation Technologies (“CT”) acquisition completed in 2008 and acquired assets related to the Actek acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2010 (see Note 2 — Acquisition above for details). Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset are expensed in the period incurred. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $0.6 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to amortization expense of $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Of these amounts, $0.5 million and $1.4 million were included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively; and $0.5 million and $1.0 million were included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

5. Financial Instruments
     The Company classifies debt and marketable equity securities based on the liquidity of the investment and management’s intention on the date of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2010, all debt and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair value, which is determined based on the inputs discussed below.
     The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity on the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Except for the auction rate security and the ForceLogix investment (see below), the Company considers all investments that are available for sale that have a maturity date of longer than three months to be short-term investments, including those investments with a maturity date of longer than one year that are highly liquid and for which the Company does not have a positive intent to hold to maturity. The auction rate security classified as available for sale is designated as a long-term investment due to the maturity date being longer than one year and the security not being highly liquid in the current market. The ForceLogix investment is also classified as a long-term investment, as the Company intends to hold it for more than one year.
     Interest is included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. The components of the Company’s debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale securities were as follows at September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

     The Company had no realized gains or losses on sales of its available-for-sale investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The Company had proceeds of $6.7 million and $19.1 million from maturities and sales of investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. All proceeds from sales and maturities of investments were equal to the par value of the securities.

Valuation of Investments and Put Option
     Level 1 and Level 2
     The Company’s available-for-sale securities include corporate notes and obligations, U.S. government and agency obligations, or certificate of deposits at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company values these securities using a pricing matrix from a reputable pricing service, who may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs). However, the Company classifies all of its available-for-sale securities, except for U.S. treasury and certain auction rated securities, as having Level 2 inputs. The Company validates the estimated fair value received from the reputable pricing service on a quarterly basis. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the financial instruments having Level 2 inputs, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were derived from the following: non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments or pricing models, such as discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
     In December 2009, the Company executed a “Subscription Agreement for Units” (the “Agreement”) with ForceLogix Technologies, Inc. (“ForceLogix”). ForceLogix is a Canada-based public company that delivers on-demand sales management process optimization solutions for sales organizations. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company purchased 2,639,000 units of ForceLogix for an aggregate of $250,000. Each unit consists of one common share and three quarters (3/4) of one common share purchase warrant of ForceLogix. In April 2010, the Company executed another “Subscription Agreement for Common Shares” with ForceLogix to purchase an additional 2,003,800 common shares of ForceLogix for a total of $150,000. The Company owns approximately 8% of the outstanding common shares of ForceLogix as of September 30, 2010 and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
     Prior to the third quarter of 2010, the Company valued the investment in the ForceLogix common stock using observable inputs (Level 1 inputs) and the related warrants using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Due to the reduced trading volume of ForceLogix’s common shares on the Canadian Stock Exchange in the third quarter of 2010, the Company considered that the share price was no longer qualified for Level 1 inputs which are defined as quoted prices in active markets. The share price was thus considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs) and the Company transferred the ForceLogix common stock investment of $162,000 from Level 1 to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2010. There were no other transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
     Level 3
     The Company valued its auction rate securities classified as available-for-sale securities using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company utilized the income approach applying assumptions for interest rates using current market trends and an estimated term based on expectations from brokers for liquidity in the market and redemption periods agreed to by other broker-dealers. The Company also applied an adjustment for the lack of liquidity to the value determined by the income approach utilizing a put option model. As a result of the valuation assessment, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on auction rate securities classified as available-for-sale of $4,000 and $9,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
     In connection with certain auction rate securities, in October 2008, one financial institution with whom the Company held auction rate securities issued certain put option rights to the Company, which entitled the Company to sell its auction rate securities to the financial institution for a price equal to the par value plus any accrued and unpaid interest. These rights to sell the securities were exercisable at any time during the period from June 30, 2010 to July 2, 2012, after which the rights will expire. During the second quarter of 2010, two such auction rate securities were redeemed at par by the financial institution. The Company exercised its option to sell the remaining one auction rate security on June 30, 2010. The transaction was settled on July 1 at par. As a result of the disposal, the Company recorded a realized gain on sales of its auction rate securities classified as trading of $93,000 and $134,000, partially offset by a realized loss on the put option of $70,000 and $102,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company recorded a gain of $0.1 million and $0.5 million on auction rate securities classified as trading, partially offset by a loss on the put option of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the Company does not have any auction rate securities classified as trading.

     The Company valued the ForceLogix warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. At September 30, 2010, the fair value of the warrants is zero.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
     The Company is from time to time a party to various litigation matters and customer disputes incidental to the conduct of its business. At the present time, the Company believes that none of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results.
     The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the need for any such liability on a quarterly basis and records any necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of ongoing negotiations, contract disputes, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case in the period they become known. At September 30, 2010, such liabilities recorded were insignificant. The Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against the Company, and that a material loss under such matters is not probable or estimable, nor are any losses considered to be reasonably possible.
     Other Contingencies
     The Company generally warrants that its products shall perform to its standard documentation. Under the Company’s standard warranty, should a product not perform as specified in the documentation within the warranty period, the Company will repair or replace the product or refund the license fee paid. Such warranties are accounted for in accordance with accounting for contingencies. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs related to warranty obligations for its software products.
     The Company’s product license and on-demand agreements typically include a limited indemnification provision for claims by third parties relating to the Company’s intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with guarantor’s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others. To date, the Company has not incurred, and therefore has not accrued for, any costs related to such indemnification provisions.
7. Segment, Geographic and Customer Information
     The accounting principles guiding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information establishes standards for the reporting by business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The method of determining which information is reported is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company’s chief executive officer (CEO). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. By this definition, the Company operates in one operating segment, which is the development, marketing and sale of enterprise software and related services. The Company’s TrueComp Suite is its only product line, which includes all of its software application products.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009 and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q . This section of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations, prospects, intentions and financial performance and the assumptions that underlie these statements. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions and the negatives thereof identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following: our ability to achieve profitability, changes in and expectations with respect to our business strategy and products revenues and gross margins, future operating expense levels, the impact of quarterly fluctuations of revenue and operating results, levels of recurring revenues, staffing and expense levels, the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and the adequacy of our capital resources to fund operations and growth. As and when made, management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made and may be based on assumptions that do not prove to be accurate. Our Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Many of these trends and uncertainties are described in “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview of the Results for the Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2010
     We are the market and technology leader in Sales Performance Management (“SPM”) software solutions designed to align internal sales resources and distribution channels with corporate strategy. Our software enhances core processes in sales management, such as the structuring of sales territories, the management of sales force talent, the establishment of sales targets and the creation and execution of sales incentive plans. Using our SPM software solutions, companies can tailor these core processes to further their strategic objectives, including coordinating sales efforts with long-range strategies regarding sales and margin targets, growth initiatives, sales force talent development, territory expansion and market penetration. Our customers can also use our SPM solutions to address more tactical objectives, such as successful new product launches and effective cross-selling strategies. Leading companies worldwide in the financial services, insurance, communications, high-technology, life sciences and retail industries rely on our solutions for their sales performance management and incentive compensation needs. Our SPM solutions can be purchased and delivered as either an on-demand service or an on-premise software solution. Our on-demand service allows customers to use our software products through a web interface rather than purchase computer equipment and install our software at their locations.
     We sell our products both directly through our sales force and in conjunction with our strategic partners. We also offer professional services, including configuration, integration and training, generally on a time-and-materials basis. We generate recurring subscription and support revenues from our on-demand service, support and maintenance agreements associated with our product licenses, all of which is recognized ratably over the term of the related agreement.

Revenue Growth
     During the third quarter of 2010, we grew total revenues sequentially for the third quarter in a row and we also grew total revenues year over year. Our revenues increased in the third quarter of 2010 by 8% to $18.5 million compared with $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2010; and by 6% from $17.4 million in the third quarter of 2009. Our sales force in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) stayed focused on driving recurring revenues streams. Recurring revenues accounted for 72% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to 77% in the second quarter of 2010 and 64% in the same period of 2009. The slight decrease of recurring revenues as a percentage of total revenues was a result of higher perpetual license revenues generated by sales to distributors in Asia Pacific and Latin America markets. We expect recurring revenues to run at approximately 75% of revenues through the remainder of 2010. Customer attrition remains low as our retention rates for our Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) offering and our legacy on-premise customers continue to be around 90%.
Cost Control and Non-GAAP Profitability
     During the quarter, we continued to benefit from our prior quarter cost-cutting actions to better align our cost base with our new business model. Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2010 were $10.0 million, compared to $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. To supplement our operating results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of operating results to analyze our cost-cutting actions. We believe non-GAAP operating result is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the impact of our cost control measures between periods. The presentation of non-GAAP operating results is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating expenses as an indicator of our performance. Non-GAAP operating results exclude stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, stock-based compensation expenses were $1.4 million, $1.9 million and $1.0 million (including operating related stock-based compensation expenses of $1.1 million, $1.6 million and $0.7 million for each period, respectively); restructuring expenses were $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively; amortization of acquired intangible assets was $0.1 million in each of these periods. Our third quarter 2010 non-GAAP operating expenses were $8.3 million, consistent with the level of the second quarter of 2010 and down 18% from $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, respectively. The decrease from the same period last year reflected our discipline in managing costs and our drive to achieve value from all of our resources. Our cost control combined with higher gross margin helped us realize a non-GAAP operating profit of $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2010. This is in contrast to the non-GAAP net loss of $1.2 million in the prior quarter and non-GAAP net loss of $3.5 million in the same period of 2009. We expect to incur some additional operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2010 related to increased legal, audit and SOX compliance fees. The increase in legal fees is related to a certain pending patent suit, which we believe is without merit and intend to vigorously defend.
Service Business
     Services revenues for the quarter were $3.6 million, up 3% from the second quarter of 2010 and down 33% from the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in services revenues from the prior year was mostly as expected as we transition to shorter and less expensive on-demand implementations.
     Services gross margin for the third quarter was 8%, up from negative 16% in the prior quarter; representing a positive swing of 24%. Utilization and average billing rate improved, as our broad based services offerings enjoyed strong demand throughout the quarter. With all the major projects we signed in prior quarters now underway and the higher utilization, we also expect slight improvement in the margin for the next quarter. Over the longer term, we expect to see further margin improvement as we drive moderately higher revenues and leverage less expensive third-party consulting resources. While we expect long-term improvement in our services margin, it is likely to fluctuate from period to period and we do expect services revenue to remain substantially below the level it was under our old perpetual license business model.
Challenges and Risks
     In response to market demand, we shifted our primary business focus from the sale of perpetual licenses for our products to the provision of our software as a service through our on-demand offering. Our on-demand model also provides more predictable quarterly revenues for us. During 2008, we were able to sustain positive gross margins on this on-demand offering for the first time since its launch in 2006. In the third quarter of 2009, as a further step in our transition to a recurring revenue business model, we began offering our on-premise products as a time-based term license arrangement. We believe this offering better addresses the needs of our customers that prefer our on-premise solution, and at the same time, will provide us with more predictable revenue streams. If we are unable to significantly grow our on-demand business or continue to provide our on-demand services on a consistently profitable basis in the future, or if our new on-premise time-based term license offering fails to achieve market acceptance, our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

     From a business perspective, while we have a number of sales opportunities in process and additional opportunities coming from our sales pipeline, we continue to experience wide variances in the timing and size of our transactions and the timing of revenue recognition resulting from flexibility in contract terms. We believe one of our major challenges continues to be increasing prospective customers’ prioritization of purchasing our products and services over competing IT projects. To address this challenge, we have set goals that include expanding our sales efforts, promoting our on-demand services and continuing to develop new products and enhancements to our suite of products.
     Historically, a substantial portion of our revenues has been derived from sales of our products and services to customers in the financial and insurance industries. Consolidations and business failures in these industries could result in substantially reduced demand for our products and services. In addition, future disruptions in these industries and international financial crisis may cause potential customers to defer or cancel future purchases of our products and services as they seek to conserve resources in the face of economic turmoil and the drastically reduced availability of capital in the equity and debt markets. Any of these developments, or the combination of these developments, may materially and adversely affect our revenues, operating results and financial condition in future periods.
     We remain committed to achieving and sustaining profitability going forward. However, we will need to continue to execute on a number of our key operating initiatives to ensure attainment of this goal, including adding new customers and retaining existing customers, improving recurring revenues and services revenues margins and managing operating expenses. Many of the factors affecting our ability to succeed in these initiatives are wholly or partially beyond our control. If our efforts prove insufficient or ineffective or result in unanticipated disruption to our business, our ability to sustain profitability may be materially impaired.
     In addition to these risks, our future operating performance is subject to the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of Part I, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations which follows is based upon our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The application of GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure regarding these items. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
     We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and service remediation reserve, stock-based compensation, goodwill impairment, long-lived asset impairment and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules which require us to make judgments and estimates, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. It is also noted that we noted no indications of impairment of goodwill in our reporting unit as of September 30, 2010.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition standards for arrangements with multiple deliverables, where certain of those deliverables are non-software related. The new standards permit entities to use management’s best estimate of selling price to value individual deliverables when those deliverables do not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value or when third-party evidence is not available. Additionally, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. These new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after September 15, 2010; however early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these new standards on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     See Note 1 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the effect of newly adopted accounting pronouncements on our financial statements.

Revenues
     Total Revenues. Total third quarter revenues were $18.5 million, up 6% from the same period last year. Compared to the third quarter of 2009, the increase in the third quarter of 2010 was due to higher volume of revenue generated by on-demand, time-based term licenses, and perpetual licenses, partially offset by lower services revenues due to the transition of our business model. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $51.8 million, down 21% from prior year. The decrease in total revenues was primarily due to declines in license and services revenues as compared to the prior year. This decrease was mostly as expected and was reflective of the transition of our business model. The decrease year over year was partially offset by the revenues generated from the January Actek acquisition. Sequentially, total revenues increased by $1.3 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in license revenues due to perpetual licenses sold in the emerging markets.
     Recurring Revenues. Recurring revenues, consisting of on-demand revenues, time-based term licenses and maintenance revenues, increased by $2.1 million, or 18%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year. Recurring revenues increased by $4.1 million, or 12%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increases were primarily due to the growth in our on-demand subscription revenues and our time-based term licenses, which together were up 37% and 25% compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Maintenance revenues associated with perpetual licenses decreased by $0.2 million and $0.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, primarily due to a number of on-premise customers converting to our on-demand service as well as decreased perpetual license sales to new customers partially offset by a small benefit from the January Actek acquisition.
     On a sequential basis, recurring revenues remained flat compared to the second quarter of 2010. The recurring revenue in the second quarter of 2010 benefited from an accelerated recognition of approximately $0.3 million of deferred revenues related to a customer conversion from on-demand to on-premise. Excluding this benefit, recurring revenue would have increased $0.3 million or 2% sequentially, mainly due to increase in on-demand and time-based term licenses revenues.

     Services Revenues. Services revenues decreased by $1.7 million, or 33%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Services revenues decreased by $15.2 million, or 59%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease from the prior year was expected as we completed our transition to our on-demand model, which involves shorter and less expensive implementations. On a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2010, services revenue increased $0.1 million, or 3%. The increase from the prior quarter was mainly due to improved utilization, higher average billing rate and recognition of revenue upon customer acceptance.
     License Revenues. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, perpetual license revenues increased $0.8 million or 88% and $1.3 million or 323%, respectively, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were primarily due to perpetual license contracts signed in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, perpetual license revenues decreased by $2.8 million, or 55% compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to our transition from a perpetual license business to a recurring revenue SaaS-oriented company in North America and EMEA. As a result, our perpetual license business in North America and EMEA continues to diminish in importance. We expect to continue to execute perpetual license transactions in markets that are less receptive to recurring revenue models, such as Asia Pacific and Latin America; however, we expect these revenues to fluctuate from period to period and in any case we do not expect perpetual license revenue to return to its historical levels.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
     Cost of Recurring Revenues. Cost of recurring revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 17%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of recurring revenues increased by $2.3 million, or 14%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to increased amortization of intangible assets resulting from increased costs of third-party technology used in our products, as well as a higher portion of the amortization expense related to the aforementioned third-party technology being allocated to the on-demand business resulting from our transition to a SaaS model. The impact of these costs was $0.5 million and $1.4 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The increase also reflected increased infrastructure cost and contractor fees of $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The increase in infrastructure cost was primarily due to fulfilling a higher level of customer orders resulting from the increase in on-demand subscriptions, for which revenues may or may not have been recognized. The cost of recurring revenues as a percentage of related revenues stayed flat on a year-over-year basis. The costs associated with supporting our on-demand offering are generally higher than the cost of maintenance related to our on-premise customers, as we are responsible for the full operation of the software that the customer has contracted for in our hosting facility.
     On a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2010, cost of recurring revenues increased by $0.5 million, or 9%, mainly due to increased use of third-party contractors for our business operations business in response to growing customer demand. Business operations provides plan administration services, which include, but are not limited to, compensation plan maintenance, customer service, issue resolution, production support and change management.
     Cost of Services Revenues. Cost of services revenues decreased by $1.8 million, or 35%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of services revenues decreased by $10.3 million, or 47%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Sequentially, cost of services revenue decreased by $0.7 million, or 18%. The decrease year over year was primarily attributable to a 29% decrease in headcount from the third quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2010, related to the reduction in services revenues as discussed above. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to an increase in deferred personnel costs related to a customer project that had yet to start recognition of revenue during the quarter. These deferred costs will be amortized along with the revenue when the project is completed.

     Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues decreased by $0.1 million, or 57%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of license revenues decreased by $0.4 million, or 56%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease year over year was primarily the result of our transition to a recurring revenue business. As a result of the transition, we have allocated to the cost of license revenues a lower portion of the amortization expense for intangible assets comprised of third-party technology used in our products. Sequentially, cost of license revenues remained flat, while license revenues increased. This was mainly due to the different mix of technology used in our product. As new perpetual license sales do not use certain third-party technology, a lower portion of the associated amortization expense for the intangible assets was allocated to the perpetual license business, resulting in flat cost.
     Gross Margin. Our overall gross margin was 46% and 40% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared with 37% and 40% for three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The year over year increase during the third quarter was mainly due to higher perpetual license sales, which historically has had a higher margin. On a sequential basis, the overall gross margin increased from 40% primarily due to the higher services revenues margin.
     Our recurring revenue gross margin of 50% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, while consistent with the same period in prior year, reflected a slight decrease from 54% in the prior quarter. The decrease reflects the increased use of third-party services and contractors in response to the expansion of our business operations services during the quarter which generally has a lower margin. We also noted that the second quarter recurring revenue gross margin was benefited from an accelerated recognition of approximately $0.3 million of deferred revenues related to a customer conversion from on-demand to on-premise. This was equivalent to an approximately 1% margin contribution as the associated cost was recognized in prior periods. Recurring revenue gross margin in the first nine months of 2010 remained relatively flat at 50% compared to the same period of 2009.
     Services gross margin was 8% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, up from negative 16% in the prior quarter and 6% in the same period of 2009. The increase was primarily a result of improved utilization and average billing rate, as our broad based services offerings enjoyed strong demand throughout the quarter.
     Services gross margin was negative 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, down from positive 15% in the same period of 2009. The negative services margin reflects lower than planned utilization resulting from the delay in projects and a decrease in our average billing rate for the first two quarters of 2010. With all the major projects we signed in prior quarters now underway and the improved utilization and average billing rate in the current quarter, we expect continued improvement in the margin for the next quarter. Over the longer term, we expect to see margin improvement as we drive higher revenues and leverage less expensive third party consulting resources. While we expect long-term improvement in our services margin, it is likely to fluctuate from period to period and we do not expect it to return to the level it was under our traditional perpetual license business model.
     License gross margin was 94% in the third quarter of 2010, up from 78% in the prior quarter and 75% in the third quarter of 2009. The increase was mainly due to the different mix of technology used in our product. As new perpetual license sales do not use certain third-party technology, a lower portion of the associated amortization expense for the intangible assets was allocated to the perpetual license business, resulting in higher margin. The license gross margin was flat at 87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 23%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in personnel related expenses as a result of reductions in headcount mainly in the third quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, and a weeklong companywide shutdown we implemented in July 2010, as well as a $0.2 million decrease in commission expense.
     Sales and marketing expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 23%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in payroll expenses as a result of a 25% reduction in headcount, a $1.0 million decrease in sales commissions as a result of decrease in total revenues, a $0.4 million decrease in professional fees and a $0.3 million decrease in marketing expenses and lower overhead allocations as a result of reductions in headcount mainly in the third quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

     On a sequential basis, sales and marketing expense decreased $0.5 million, or 11%, from the prior quarter. The decrease was due to a $0.2 million reduction in personnel related costs partly driven by the weeklong companywide shutdown we implemented during the quarter, a $0.1 million decline in stock-based compensation expenses, and a $0.1 million decrease in marketing expenses as part of the cost saving initiatives.
     Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 26%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Research and development expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 26%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in personnel related costs as a result of a 42% reduction in headcount. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in professional fees as we expand our use of offshore third-party technical services and support.
     On a sequential basis, research and development expense increased $0.1 million, or 4%, as compared to the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased third-party contractor costs and bonus expenses.
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 14%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 11%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase year over year was primarily due to a $0.4 million and $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses related to large grant of restricted stock units in the first and third quarters of 2010 resulting in higher period expense allocation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The restricted stock units granted to executives in the first quarter were for retention purposes in lieu of a salary freeze. The restricted stock units granted to non-executive staff in the third quarter were for retention purposes in response to the relocation of our corporate headquarters in the third quarter. The increase in stock-based compensation expenses was partially offset by a recovery of bad debt expenses of $0.2 million.
     On a sequential basis, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 3%, compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expenses of $0.4 million as compared with the second quarter of 2010 as a result of annual options and restricted stock units granted to our board members during the prior quarter. The decrease was partially offset by the bonus expenses of $0.2 million.
     Restructuring. Restructuring charges were $0.5 million and $1.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in same periods of 2009. Sequentially, restructuring charges remained flat compared to the prior quarter. The restructuring charges in the current quarter were mainly related to facilities restructuring costs as a result of consolidating office space, while restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2010 were mainly due to severance related payments. The cost savings programs in the first nine months of 2010 were substantially completed as of September 30, 2010.

     Total stock-based compensation expenses increased $0.4 million, or 39%, in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Total stock-based compensation expenses increased $1.4 million, or 45%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to large grants of restricted stock units during the first and third quarter of 2010. These grants have resulted in higher period expense allocation. The restricted stock units granted to executives in the first quarter were for retention purposes in lieu of a salary freeze. The restricted stock units granted to non-executive staff in the third quarter were for retention purposes in response to the relocation of our corporate headquarters. The increase is also attributable to a $0.3 million amortized expense of the Actek acquisition contingent consideration that is considered compensatory (see Note 2 — Acquisition above for details).

     Interest and Other Income
     Interest and other income increased $30,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Interest and other income decreased $0.3 million, or 106%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to a loss on a forward exchange contract of approximately $0.1 million and a loss due to remeasurement of our receivables denominated in foreign currencies, as a result of a weaker US dollar.
     Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes
     Provision for income taxes was $51,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $173,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2009. Benefit from income taxes was $462,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to provision for income taxes of $319,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
     The provision for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to income taxes related to our foreign operations. The provision for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to foreign withholding taxes and income taxes related to our foreign operations. The tax benefit in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities related to the intangible assets acquired from Actek and the associated release of a valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets of $0.6 million, partially offset by a $0.2 million provision for income taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of September 30, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $26.9 million and accounts receivable of $17.0 million.
     The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2010     2009  
Net cash provided by (used in):

Financing activities
    145       605  
     Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to cost reductions which resulted in a $14.4 million decrease in payroll-related costs due to lower headcount, a $5.7 million decrease in professional service costs and a $2.8 million decrease in employee expense reimbursements and other expenses. These cost reductions were partially offset by a $20.5 million decrease in cash collections resulting from the decrease in revenues.
     Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was attributable to purchases of marketable investments of $13.4 million, purchases of property and equipment of $2.6 million (including a $1.0 million leasehold improvement funded by the landlord of our Pleasanton office), payment made for the Actek acquisition of $1.9 million, payments made to acquire certain intangible assets of $1.7 million, and an increase in restricted cash of $0.6 million related to our new Pleasanton office lease. These payments were partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of investments of $19.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to purchases of investments of $18.3 million, purchases of property and equipment of $1.6 million and payments made to acquire certain intangible assets of $1.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sale of investments of $9.7 million and change in restricted cash of $0.2 million.
     Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was due to cash received from the exercise of stock options and shares purchased under our employee stock purchase plan of $1.4 million, partially offset by repayment of $0.9 million of debt assumed through the Actek acquisition, and cash used to repurchase common stock from employees for payment of taxes on vesting of restricted stock units of $0.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to cash received from the exercise of stock options and shares purchased under our employee stock purchase plan of $1.7 million, partially offset by cash paid for repurchases of stock of $0.7 million and cash used to net share settle equity awards of $0.4 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
     The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations (in thousands) at September 30, 2010. Contractual cash obligations that are cancelable upon notice and without significant penalties are not included in the table. In addition, to the extent that payments for unconditional purchase commitments for goods and services are based, in part, on volume or type of services required by us, we included only the minimum volume or purchase commitment in the table below.

     We relocated our headquarters to Pleasanton, California in August 2010. The annual rental expense is approximately $0.7 million under our Pleasanton lease, which expires in July 2017.
     For our New York, New York, San Jose, California and Pleasanton, California offices, we had three certificates of deposit totaling approximately $832,000 as of September 30, 2010. These certificates of deposit were pledged as collateral to secure letters of credit required by our landlords for security deposits. The certificate of deposits for our San Jose office of $153,000 will be released at the end of November 2010 as a result of the expiration of the lease.
     Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including revenues we generate, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, market acceptance of our on-demand service offering, our ability to offer on-demand service on a consistently profitable basis and the continuing market acceptance of our other products. However, based on our current business plan and revenue projections, we believe our existing cash and investment balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements as well as the contractual obligations listed above for the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     With the exception of the above contractual cash obligations, we have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have not been recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Market Risk. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is also a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. See Note 5 — Financial Instruments of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding our auction rate securities.
     We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes except for certain auction rate securities, and we invest in investment grade securities. We limit our exposure to interest rate and credit risk by establishing and monitoring clear policies and guidelines for our investment portfolios, which is approved by our Board of Directors. The guidelines also establish credit quality standards, limits on exposure to any one security issue, limits on exposure to any one issuer and limits on exposure to the type of instrument.
     Financial instruments that potentially subject us to market risk are short-term investments, long-term investments and trade receivables. We mitigate market risk by monitoring ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades for all bank counterparties on at least a quarterly basis. Based on our on-going assessment of counterparty risk, we will adjust our exposure to various counterparties.

Table of Contents

     Interest Rate Risk. We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting primarily of investments in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, high quality corporate debt obligations, United States government obligations, auction rate securities and the related put option asset.
     Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The fair market value of fixed-rate securities may be adversely affected by a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities, which typically have a shorter duration, may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our investment income may decrease in the future due to changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2010, the average maturity of our investments was approximately 8 months, and all investment securities other than auction rate securities had maturities of less than 24 months. The following table presents certain information about our financial instruments except for auction rate securities at September 30, 2010 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in thousands, except for interest rates):
                                 
    Expected Maturity              
                    Total     Total  
    1 Year     More Than     Principal     Fair  
    or Less     1 Year     Amount     Value  
Available-for-sale securities
  $ 9,949     $ 6,214     $ 16,163     $ 16,168  
Weighted average interest rate
    0.51 %     0.68 %                
     Our exposure to interest rate risk also relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on our outstanding debt instruments. As of September 30, 2010, we had no outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money. Therefore, we currently have no exposure to interest rate risk related to debt instruments. To the extent we enter into or issue debt instruments in the future, we will have interest rate risk.
     Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our revenues and expenses, except those related to our non-United States operations, are generally denominated in United States dollars. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 approximately 6.7% and 6.6%, respectively, of our total revenues were denominated in foreign currency. At September 30, 2010, approximately 15.7% of our total accounts receivable was denominated in foreign currency. Our exchange risks and foreign exchange losses have been minimal to date. We expect to continue to transact a majority of our business in U.S. dollars.
     Occasionally, we may enter into forward exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to currency fluctuations on our foreign currency transactions. The objective of these contracts is to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. We do not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
     We had nil and $0.1 million of loss related to the forward exchange contracts in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.
     In connection with their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not identify any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     We are from time to time a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business, none of which, at the present time, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our future financial results.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Factors That Could Affect Future Results
We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Because of the factors discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009 and those factors included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequently thereto, if any, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We cannot accurately predict customer subscription or maintenance renewal rates or the impact these renewal rates will have on our future revenues or operating results.
     Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our on-demand services, term licenses or maintenance support for term or perpetual license transactions after the expiration of their initial subscription or maintenance period, which is typically 12 to 24 months, and some customers have elected not to renew. Our customers may also renew for fewer payees or renew for shorter contract lengths. In addition, we recently began to offer a pay-as-you-go model, whereby customers can pay for our on-demand service on a monthly basis without a long-term commitment. To the extent this new model gains acceptance, the rate of customer non-renewals may be greater than what we anticipated and thus negatively affect our recurring revenue during any reporting period. Accordingly, we cannot accurately predict customer renewal rates. Our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including their reduced spending levels, their decision to do more of the work themselves internally or dissatisfaction with our service. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our on-demand services or maintenance support, our revenue will decline and our business will suffer.
