NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements fairly present the financial information contained therein. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments, have been included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to present fairly the financial position and operating results of QAD Inc. (“QAD” or the “Company”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2012.

On December 14, 2010, QAD shareholders approved a Recapitalization plan (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to which the Company (i) established two classes of common stock, consisting of a new class of common stock with one-twentieth (1/20th) of a vote per share, designated as Class A common stock $0.001 par value per share (the "Class A Common Stock") and a new class of common stock with one vote per share, designated as Class B common stock $0.001 par value per share (the "Class B Common Stock"); (ii) reclassified each issued and outstanding whole share of the Company's existing $0.001 par value per share common stock (the "Existing Stock") as 0.1 share of Class B Common Stock; and (iii) issued a dividend of four shares of Class A Common Stock for each whole share of Class B Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the foregoing reclassification. The reclassification of Existing Stock into Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, together, reflects the effect of a two-to-one reverse stock split. Fractional shares were paid in cash and were not material.

All references in the financial statements to the number of shares, stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights and related per-share amounts of the Company’s common stock have been retroactively recast to reflect the effect of the Recapitalization for all periods presented.

Beginning in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, the Company began presenting subscription revenue as a separate caption within revenue. Subscription revenue includes hosting arrangements and software as a service arrangements. In addition, the Company began presenting costs of professional services as a separate caption within costs of revenue. Prior period data has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income, gross profit or total revenue.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in this standard will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it needs to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. Only if an entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value will it be required to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance, but does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 regarding ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires the presentation of the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, this ASU requires presentation on the face of the financial statements of reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012. While this new accounting pronouncement will impact the presentation of other comprehensive income, it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Index

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” These amendments were issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements, particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2.	COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended October 31,						Nine Months Ended October 31,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(in thousands, except per share data)

Net income per share – Class A Common Stock
Dividends declared	$	930		$	656		$	2,489		$	1,958
Allocation of undistributed net income (loss)		1,569			730			3,399			(1,322	)
Net income attributable to Class A common stock	$	2,499		$	1,386		$	5,888		$	636

Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding—basic		12,975			12,632			12,892			12,589
Weighted average potential shares of Class A common stock		407			795			394			802
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock and potential common shares outstanding—diluted		13,382			13,427			13,286			13,391

Basic net income per Class A common share	$	0.19		$	0.11		$	0.46		$	0.05
Diluted net income per Class A common share	$	0.19		$	0.10		$	0.44		$	0.05

Net income per share – Class B Common Stock
Dividends declared	$	190		$	136		$	512		$	407
Allocation of undistributed net income (loss)		321			151			700			(275	)
Net income attributable to Class B common stock	$	511		$	287		$	1,212		$	132

Weighted average shares of Class B common stock outstanding—basic		3,203			3,158			3,194			3,147
Weighted average potential shares of Class B common stock		98			199			98			201
Weighted average shares of Class B common stock and potential common shares outstanding—diluted		3,301			3,357			3,292			3,348

Basic net income per Class B common share	$	0.16		$	0.09		$	0.38		$	0.04
Diluted net income per Class B common share	$	0.15		$	0.09		$	0.37		$	0.04

Index

Potential common shares consist of the shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and the exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The Company’s unvested RSUs are not considered participating securities as they do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents prior to release. In addition, the Company’s unexercised stock options and SARs are not considered participating securities as they do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents prior to exercise. Class A common stock equivalents of approximately 2.2 million and 2.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, respectively, were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive. Class B common stock equivalents of approximately 0.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive. Class A common stock equivalents of approximately 1.8 million and 1.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010 were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive. Class B common stock equivalents of approximately 0.4 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010 were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive.

3.	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes changes in the balances of items that are reported directly as separate components of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The components of comprehensive income were as follows:

	Three Months Ended October 31,						Nine Months Ended October 31,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(in thousands)						(in thousands)
Net income	$	3,010		$	1,673		$	7,100		$	768
Foreign currency translation adjustments		(260	)		(560	)		(787	)		106

Comprehensive income	$	2,750		$	1,113		$	6,313		$	874

4.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

When determining fair value the Company uses a three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Whenever possible, the Company uses observable market data. The Company relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Index

The following table sets forth the financial assets, measured at fair value, as of October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011:

	Fair value measurement at reporting date using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(in thousands)
Money market mutual funds as of October 31, 2011	$	48,114	$	—	$	—
Money market mutual funds as of January 31, 2011	$	48,390	$	—	$	—

Money market mutual funds are classified as part of “Cash and equivalents” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the amount of cash and equivalents included cash deposited with commercial banks of $26.9 million and $18.9 million as of October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, respectively.

There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the nine months ended October 31, 2011.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company’s line of credit bears a variable market interest rate, subject to certain minimum interest rates. Therefore, should the Company have any amounts outstanding under the line of credit, the carrying value of the line of credit would reasonably approximate fair value. The Company’s note payable bears a fixed rate of 6.5%. The estimated fair value of the note payable was approximately $17.2 million at October 31, 2011 and the carrying value was $16.2 million. The estimated fair value of the note payable is based primarily on expected market prices for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.

GOODWILL

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended October 31, 2011, were as follows:

		Gross Carrying Amount			Accumulated Impairment			Goodwill, Net
	(in thousands)
Balance at January 31, 2011		$	22,065		$	(15,608	)	$	6,457
Impact of foreign currency translation			(25	)		—			(25	)
Balance at October 31, 2011		$	22,040		$	(15,608	)	$	6,432

The Company performed its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The analysis compared the Company’s market capitalization to its net assets as of the test date, November 30, 2010. As the market capitalization significantly exceeded the Company’s net assets, there was no indication of goodwill impairment for fiscal 2011. The Company monitors the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. No adverse events occurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2011 that would cause the Company to test goodwill for impairment.

DEBT

	October 31, 2011			January 31, 2011
	(in thousands)
Note payable	$	16,216		$	16,442
Less current maturities		(316	)		(304	)
Long-term debt	$	15,900		$	16,138

Index

Note Payable

In July 2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Mid-State Bank & Trust, a bank which was subsequently purchased by Rabobank, N.A. The loan had an original principal amount of $18.0 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%. This loan is secured by the Company’s headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. The terms of the loan provide for the Company to make 119 monthly payments of $115,000 consisting of principal and interest and one final principal payment of $15.4 million. The loan matures in July 2014. The unpaid balance as of October 31, 2011 was $16.2 million.

Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides a one-year commitment for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs. The Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75%.

The Facility provides that the Company maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. At October 31, 2011, the effective borrowing rate would have been 1.0%.

As of October 31, 2011, there were no borrowings under the Facility and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

7.	INCOME TAXES

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.3 million at October 31, 2011. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. This liability is classified as long-term unless the liability is expected to conclude within twelve months of the reporting date. In the next twelve months, due to potential settlements with both foreign and domestic tax authorities related to tax credits and deductions, an estimated $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of October 31, 2011, the Company has accrued approximately $0.2 million of interest and penalty expense relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax returns that are subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company is currently under audit in India for fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1999, 2008 and 2009, South Africa for fiscal year 2010 and in California for fiscal years ended 2004 and 2005.

Repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock.

9.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s equity awards consist of stock options, SARs and RSUs. For a description of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, see Note 9 “Stock-Based Compensation” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation

The following table sets forth reported stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:

	Three Months Ended October 31,				Nine Months Ended October 31,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

Option/SAR Information

The weighted average assumptions used to value SARs granted in the nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table:

	Nine Months Ended October 31,
	2011			2010
Expected life in years (1)		3.81			4.31
Risk free interest rate (2)		1.16	%		1.72	%
Volatility (3)		66	%		68	%
Dividend rate (4)		2.38	%		2.23	%

Index

(1)	The expected life of SARs granted under the stock-based compensation plans is based on historical vested stock option and SAR exercise and post-vest forfeiture patterns and includes an estimate of the expected term for stock options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding.

(2)	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of SARs in effect at the time of grant.

(3)	The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for a period equivalent to the expected life of the SARs, which it believes is representative of the expected volatility over the expected life of the SARs.

(4)

During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 20 percent increase in quarterly dividends to $0.072 and $0.06 per share of Class A and Class B stock, respectively. The Company expects to pay quarterly dividends at the rate of $0.072 and $0.06 per share of Class A and Class B, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity for outstanding stock options and SARs for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 and the nine months ended October 31, 2011:

	Stock Options/ SARs (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)

Vested and exercisable at October 31, 2011		1,578		$	12.79		3.3	$	2,534

(1)	The expected-to-vest SARs are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding SARs.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock based on the last trading day as of October 31, 2011 and the exercise price for in-the-money stock options and SARs) that would have been received by the holders if all stock options and SARs had been exercised on October 31, 2011. The total intrinsic value of stock options or SARs exercised in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 was $45,000 and $255,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options or SARs exercised in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010 was $47,000 and $88,000, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of SARs granted in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 was $4.60 and $4.16, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of SARs granted in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010 was $3.68 and $4.10, respectively.

At October 31, 2011, there was approximately $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SARs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years.

The Company withholds, at the employee’s election, a portion of the exercised shares as consideration for the Company’s payment of applicable employee income taxes. During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 1,200 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $13,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 7,100 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $75,000. In addition, during the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Company received $39,000 in cash from option exercises.

Index

RSU Information

The estimated fair value of RSUs was calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends foregone during the vesting period.

The following table summarizes the activity for RSUs for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 and the nine months ended October 31, 2011:

	RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Restricted stock at October 31, 2011		426		$	9.37

(1)	The number of RSUs vested includes shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.

The Company withholds, at the employee’s election, a portion of the vested shares as consideration for the Company’s payment of applicable employee income taxes. During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 24,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $273,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 57,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $606,000.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs was approximately $3.1 million as of October 31, 2011. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

10.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnifications

The Company sells software licenses and services to its customers under written agreements. Each agreement contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event the Company’s software is found to infringe upon certain intellectual property rights of a third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in industry-standard respects.

The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to the indemnification provisions of the agreements. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the agreements, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions.

Index

Legal Actions

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

11.	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company markets its products and services worldwide, primarily to companies in the manufacturing industry, including the automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences industries. The Company sells and licenses its products through its direct sales force in four geographic regions: North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia Pacific and Latin America and through distributors and sales agents where third parties can extend sales reach more effectively or efficiently. The North America region includes the United States and Canada. The EMEA region includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific region includes Asia and Australia. The Latin America region includes South America, Central America and Mexico.

License and subscription revenues are assigned to the geographic regions based on the proportion of commissions earned by each region. Maintenance revenue is allocated to the region where the end user customer is located. Services revenue is assigned based on the region where the services are performed.

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

QAD Inc. is a global provider of enterprise software applications, and related services and support. QAD provides enterprise software applications to global manufacturing companies primarily in the automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences industries. QAD software is used by over 2,500 global manufacturing companies and we employ approximately 1,450 people worldwide. QAD was founded in 1979, incorporated in California in 1986 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1997.

QAD’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) suite is called QAD Enterprise Applications and was formerly marketed as MFG/PRO. QAD Enterprise Applications supports our global manufacturing customers’ core business needs and enables their most common business processes.

QAD typically sells licenses to its software under a perpetual licensing model. Customers who purchase perpetual licenses typically deploy the application using an on premise model on their own servers. Customers under the perpetual licensing model may separately purchase contracts for maintenance and additional services. QAD also offers an on demand deployment option in which QAD hosts the application and provides support and management of the environment, and where the customers pay a subscription fee that grants them access to the environment. This “On Demand” product offering is part of our subscription revenue.

Despite overall concerns about the global financial system, geopolitical issues and continued slow global economic growth, we have seen improvement over the last year in the industries in which we operate. Our revenue has grown in all categories when compared to the same quarter and nine months of last fiscal year and our overall headcount has increased by approximately 100 employees, or 8%, when comparing October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2010. The largest increase in headcount was in our professional services in order to support customer upgrades and new implementations. Our strategy remains focused on the development and delivery of best-in-class enterprise resource planning software applications for the manufacturing industry in our six key industry segments. We remain cautious in our spending and we continue to closely monitor the global economic environment.

Index

Total revenue increased to $60.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, up from $55.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. We experienced increases of 19% in license revenue, 1% in maintenance and other revenue, 23% in professional services revenue and 43% in subscription revenue over the same period last year. Total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $182.1 million, a $24.5 million, or 16%, increase from the first nine months of fiscal 2011. License revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased by 24%, maintenance and other revenue increased by 7%, professional services revenue increased by 27% and subscription revenue increased by 67% over the same period last year. Net income increased to $3.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, up from $1.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $7.1 million compared to net income of $0.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Our cash and equivalents balance was $75.1 million at October 31, 2011, up from $67.3 million at January 31, 2011. Cash flows from operations were $13.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to $16.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they conform to general practices in our industry. We apply critical accounting policies consistently from period to period and intend that any change in methodology will occur in an appropriate manner. Accounting policies currently deemed critical, including a) revenue recognition; b) accounts receivable allowances for doubtful accounts; c) impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill; d) capitalized software development costs; e) valuation of deferred tax assets and tax contingency reserves; and f) stock-based compensation are further discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011. Except as noted below there have been no significant changes to our accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenues from the sale or the license of our software products, from support services and product updates (referred to as maintenance revenue), from subscriptions and from consulting, development, training, and other professional services. The product updates are offered on a when-and-if available basis. The majority of our software is sold or licensed in multiple-element arrangements that include support services, product updates and often consulting services or other elements. As a result, we exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with the amount and timing of revenue recognition. For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. A majority of our license revenue is recognized in this manner. Revenue is presented net of sales, use and value-added taxes collected from our customers.

Our typical payment terms vary by region. Occasionally, payment terms of up to one year may be granted for software license fees to customers with an established history of collections without concessions. Should we grant payment terms greater than one year or terms that are not in accordance with our established history for similar arrangements, we would recognize revenue as payments become due and payable assuming all other criteria for software revenue recognition requirements have been met.

Provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize license revenue on delivery using the residual method when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) exists for all of the undelivered elements (for example, support services, consulting, or other services) in the arrangement. We allocate revenue to each undelivered element based on VSOE, which is the price charged when that element is sold separately or, for elements not yet sold separately, the price established by our management if it is probable that the price will not change before the element is sold separately. We allocate revenue to undelivered support services based on rates charged to renew the support services annually after an initial period. We allocate revenue to undelivered consulting services based on time and materials rates of stand-alone services engagements by role and by country. We review our VSOE at least annually. If we were to be unable to establish or maintain VSOE for one or more undelivered elements within a multiple-element arrangement, it could adversely impact our revenues, results of operations and financial position because we may have to defer all or a portion of the revenue or recognize revenue ratably from multiple-element arrangements.

Index

Multiple element arrangements for which VSOE does not exist for all undelivered elements typically occur when we introduce a new product or product bundles for which we have not established VSOE for support services or consulting or other services under our VSOE policy. In these instances, revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the longer of the support services (maintenance period) or consulting services engagement, assuming there are no specified future deliverables. In the instances in which it has been determined that revenue on these bundled arrangements will be recognized ratably due to lack of VSOE, at the time of recognition, we allocate revenue from these bundled arrangement fees to all of the non-license revenue categories based on VSOE of similar support services or consulting services. The remaining arrangement fees, if any, are then allocated to software license fee revenue. The associated costs primarily consist of payroll and related costs to perform both the consulting services and provide support services and royalty expense related to the license and maintenance revenue. These costs are expensed as incurred and included in the various cost of revenue categories.

Revenue from support services and product updates, referred to as maintenance revenue, is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which in most instances is one year. Product updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period on a when-and-if available basis. Support services include Internet access to technical content, as well as Internet and telephone access to technical support personnel. A majority of our customers purchase both support services and product updates when they acquire new software licenses. In addition, a majority of our customers renew their support services contracts annually.

Revenue from consulting services is typically comprised of implementation, development, training or other consulting services. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis and can include services ranging from software installation to data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in integrated environments. Consulting engagements can range anywhere from one day to several months and are based strictly on the customer’s requirements and complexities and are independent of the functionality of our software. Our software, as delivered, can generally be used by the customer for the customer’s purpose upon installation. Further, implementation and integration services provided are generally not essential to the functionality of the software, as delivered, and do not result in any material changes to the underlying software code. On occasion, we enter into fixed fee arrangements in which customer payments are tied to achievement of specific milestones. In fixed fee arrangements, revenue is recognized as services are performed as measured by hours incurred to date, as compared to total estimated hours to be incurred to complete the work. In milestone achievement arrangements, we recognize revenue as the respective milestones are achieved.

Revenue from our subscription product offerings, including our On Demand products, is recognized ratably over the contract period when the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software. When our subscription product offerings are sold along with other elements as part of a multiple element arrangement, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee to each deliverable based on their relative selling prices. Amounts allocated to each deliverable are recognized as the revenue recognition criteria for each deliverable has been met. For subscription arrangements where the customer has the right and ability to take possession of the software, revenue is recognized using the residual method.

Occasionally we resell third party systems as part of an end-to-end solution requested by our customers. Hardware revenue is recognized on a gross basis when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable. We consider delivery to occur when the product is shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.

Although infrequent, when an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting transactions, the software license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services. Arrangements that do not qualify for separate accounting of the software license fee and consulting services typically occur when we are requested to customize software or when we view the installation of our software as high risk in the customer’s environment. This requires us to make estimates about the total cost to complete the project and the stage of completion. The assumptions, estimates, and uncertainties inherent in determining the stage of completion affect the timing and amounts of revenues and expenses reported. Changes in estimates of progress toward completion, contract revenues and contract costs are accounted for using the cumulative catch up approach. In these arrangements, we do not have a sufficient basis to estimate the costs of providing support services. As a result, revenue is typically recognized on a percent completion basis up to the amount of costs incurred (zero margin). Once the consulting services are complete and support services are the only undelivered item, the remaining revenue is recognized evenly over the remaining support period. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure the progress of completion or to estimate the total contract revenues and costs, revenue is recognized when the project is complete and, if applicable, final acceptance is received from the customer. We allocate these bundled arrangement fees to support services and consulting services revenues based on VSOE. The remaining arrangement fees are then allocated to software license fee revenues. The associated costs primarily consist of payroll and related costs to perform the consulting and support services and royalty expense and are included in the various cost of revenues categories.

Index

We execute arrangements through indirect sales channels via sales agents and distributors in which the indirect sales channels are authorized to market our software products to end users. In arrangements with sales agents, revenue is recognized on a sell-through basis once an order is received from the end user, collectability from the end user is probable, a signed license agreement from the end user has been received by us, delivery has been made to the end user and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Sales agents are compensated on a commission basis. Distributor arrangements are those in which the resellers are authorized to market and distribute our software products to end users in specified territories and the distributor bears the risk of collection from the end user customer. We recognize revenue from transactions with distributors when the distributor submits a written purchase commitment, collectability from the distributor is probable, a signed license agreement is received from the distributor and delivery has occurred to the distributor, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Revenue for distributor transactions is recorded on a net basis (the amount actually received by us from the distributor). We do not offer rights of return, product rotation or price protection to any of our distributors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 11 “Business Segment Information” within Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In order to present our results of operations without the effects of changes in foreign currency, we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency basis”, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented in the following tables. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period to the current period results.

Index

Total Revenue. Total revenue was $60.7 million and $55.4 million for the third quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2011, total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 would have been approximately $59.9 million, representing a $4.5 million, or 8%, increase from the same period last year. When comparing categories within total revenue at constant rates, our current quarter results included increases in our license, subscription and professional services revenue categories and a slight decrease in our maintenance and other revenue. Revenue outside the North America region as a percentage of total revenue was 58% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to 57% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Total revenue increased across all geographic regions in which we operate during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 when compared to the same quarter last year. Our products are sold to manufacturing companies that operate mainly in the following industries: automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences. Given the similarities between food and beverage and consumer products as well as between high technology and industrial products, we aggregate them for management review. Revenue by industry for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was approximately 28% in automotive, 22% in consumer products and food and beverage, 37% in high technology and industrial products and 13% in life sciences. In comparison, revenue by industry for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was fairly consistent with fiscal 2012 with approximately 27% in automotive, 22% in consumer products and food and beverage, 35% in high technology and industrial products and 16% in life sciences.

Total revenue was $182.1 million and $157.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2011, total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 would have been approximately $176.6 million, representing a $19.0 million, or 12%, increase from the same period last year. When comparing categories within total revenue at constant rates, our first nine months results included increases across all revenue categories. Revenue outside the North America region as a percentage of total revenue was 58% for the first nine months of fiscal 2012, as compared to 57% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Total revenue increased across all geographic regions in which we operate during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 when compared to the same nine months last year.

License Revenue. License revenue was $7.2 million and $6.1 million for the third quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2011, license revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 would have been unchanged at $7.2 million, representing a $1.1 million, or 18%, increase from the same period last year. License revenue increased in our North America region and was partially offset by decreases in our EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 when compared to the same quarter last year. One of the metrics that management uses to measure license revenue performance is the number of customers that have placed sizable license orders in the period. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, seven customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and no orders exceeded $1.0 million. Of the seven license orders totaling more than $0.3 million, four were deferred due to revenue recognition rules. This compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011 in which one customer placed a license order totaling more than $0.3 million and no orders exceeded $1.0 million.

License revenue was $22.1 million and $17.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Maintenance and other revenue decreased in our North America region and increased in our EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 when compared to the same quarter last year. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we benefited from revenue related to maintenance provided in previous periods but not recognized until customer commitment was secured. Excluding this benefit from the third quarter of fiscal 2011, our maintenance and other revenue would have increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 1%, when comparing the third quarter of fiscal 2012 to the same quarter last year.

The increase in maintenance and other revenue was related to maintenance re-starts, price increases, new customers, new users and new modules in excess of cancellations.

We track our rate of contract renewals by determining the number of customer sites with active contracts as of the end of the previous reporting period and compare this to the number of customers that renewed, or are in the process of renewing, their maintenance contracts as of the current period end. Our maintenance contract renewal rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of both fiscal 2012 and 2011 was in excess of 90%.

Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue was $2.3 million and $1.6 million for the third quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2011, subscription revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 would have been unchanged at $2.3 million, representing a $0.7 million, or 44%, increase from the same period last year. Subscription revenue increased across all geographic regions during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 when compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in subscription revenue was due to additional revenue related to our On Demand product offering.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.2 million and $1.9 million for the third quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our effective tax rate decreased to 29% during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 53% for the same quarter in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to significantly higher book income for fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011. In addition, in fiscal 2011 our effective tax rate was increased by non-deductible professional fees related to the stock recapitalization. We will not incur substantial professional fees related to the recapitalization in fiscal 2012.

We recorded income tax expense of $3.7 million and $1.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our effective tax rate decreased to 34% from 66% for the same period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to significantly higher book income in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.

We benefit from operating in foreign locations, such as Ireland, due to the lower statutory income tax rate relative to the U.S. federal and state tax rates. This benefit is reduced by withholding taxes and foreign base company sales and services income that is taxed both in the U.S. and in the foreign jurisdiction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of cash is from the sale of licenses, maintenance, subscription and professional services to our customers. Our primary use of cash is payment of our operating expenses which mainly consist of employee-related expenses, such as compensation and benefits, as well as general operating expenses for facilities and overhead costs. In addition to operating expenses, we also use cash for capital expenditures and to invest in our growth initiatives, which could include acquisitions of products, technology and businesses, as well as payments of dividends or stock repurchases.

Toward the end of the last fiscal year and continuing into the current fiscal year we have seen some improvement in the industries in which we operate, although current global economic circumstances remain volatile and unclear. We are monitoring economic conditions as our performance is heavily influenced by our customers’ outlook and production. We have remained focused on conserving cash and as a result our cash balance increased from $67.3 million at January 31, 2011, to $75.1 million at October 31, 2011.

At October 31, 2011, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and equivalents totaling $75.1 million and net accounts receivable of $40.9 million. At October 31, 2011, our cash and equivalents consisted of current bank accounts, registered money market funds and time delineated deposits. Approximately 80% of our cash and equivalents were held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts as of October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011. We have a U.S. line of credit facility that permits unsecured short-term borrowings of up to $20 million. Our line of credit agreement contains customary covenants that could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Our line of credit is available for working capital or other business needs. We have not drawn down on our line of credit during any of the last three fiscal years nor do we expect to draw down on the line of credit during fiscal 2012.

Our primary commercial banking relationship is with Bank of America and its global affiliates. Our cash and equivalents are held by diversified financial institutions globally, and as of October 31, 2011 the portion of our cash and equivalents held by Bank of America was 76%.

The amount of cash and equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries was $51.4 million and $46.8 million as of October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, respectively. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., and if U.S. tax has not been previously provided, we would be required to accrue and pay taxes in the U.S. to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations in the U.S.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(in thousands)	Nine Months Ended October 31, 2011			Nine Months Ended October 31, 2010
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	13,052		$	16,057
Net cash used in investing activities		(2,846	)		(1,308	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(2,844	)		(2,484	)
Effect of foreign exchange rates on cash and equivalents		417			791
Net increase in cash and equivalents	$	7,779		$	13,056

Net cash flows provided by operating activities was $13.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to $16.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The $3.0 million decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities was due primarily to the negative cashflow effect of changes in accounts payable, deferred revenue and other liabilities of $13.4 million, and noncash charges (including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and provisions for doubtful accounts/sales adjustments) of $2.3 million partially offset by the positive cashflow effect of changes in accounts receivable and other assets of $6.3 million and net income of $6.3 million. Net cash flows provided by operating activities was impacted by revenue recognized on joint development projects during the current period for which we received payment in the prior period and by higher bonus and commission payments in the current fiscal year to date period.

Index

Capital expenditures were $2.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012, primarily relating to purchases of computer equipment and leasehold improvements, compared to $1.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. We expect capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 to remain fairly consistent with our quarterly capital expenditures during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

Dividend-related payments for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 totaled $1.4 million compared to $1.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. Our dividend program allows shareholders the choice of stock or cash, which has enabled us to conserve cash. The number of shares issued to holders of record as a stock dividend is calculated based on the average closing price of QAD’s Class A common stock for the three trading days immediately following the election deadline. On September 22, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a 20 percent increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.072 per share of Class A common stock and $0.060 per share of Class B common stock. The Board of Directors evaluates our ability to continue to pay dividends and the structure of any dividends on a quarterly basis.

On September 22, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorizes management to purchase up to one million shares of the Company's Class A and/or Class B shares of common stock through open market transactions. The plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we repurchased 46,500 and 3,200 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, for total consideration of $0.6 million. There was no stock repurchase-related activity during fiscal 2011.

We have historically calculated accounts receivable days’ sales outstanding (“DSO”), using the countback, or last-in first-out, method. This method calculates the number of days of billed revenue represented by the accounts receivable balance as of period end. When reviewing the performance of our entities, DSO under the countback method is used by management. It is management’s belief that the countback method best reflects the relative health of our accounts receivable as of a given quarter-end or year-end because of the cyclical nature of our billings. Our billing cycle includes high annual maintenance renewal billings at year-end that will not be recognized as earned revenue until future periods.

DSO under the countback method was 60 days at October 31, 2011, compared to 52 days at January 31, 2011 and 64 days at October 31, 2010. The increase in DSO under the countback method as of October 31, 2011 when compared to January 31, 2011, was primarily related to less billings in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. This result is generally consistent with management expectations as our fourth quarter includes a higher volume of annual maintenance renewals than the other quarters. DSO under the countback method was fairly consistent with the third quarter of fiscal 2011. DSO using the average method, which is calculated utilizing the accounts receivable balance and earned revenue for the most recent quarter, was 61 days at October 31, 2011, compared to 95 days at January 31, 2011 and 67 days at October 31, 2010. We believe our reserve methodology is adequate and our reserves are properly stated as of October 31, 2011. We will continue to monitor our receivables.

Cash requirements for items other than normal operating expenses are anticipated for capital expenditures, dividend payments and stock repurchases. We may require cash for acquisitions of new businesses, software products or technologies complementary to our business.

We believe that the cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities and the available borrowings under our existing credit facility will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our current and long-term working capital requirements, debt service, dividend payments, share repurchase payments and other cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

A summary of future obligations under our various contractual obligations and commitments as of January 31, 2011 was disclosed in our fiscal 2011 10-K. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011 there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations or commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business.

Index

Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides a one-year commitment for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs. We will pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75%.

The Facility provides that we maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and cash equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At October 31, 2011, the effective borrowing rate would have been 1.0%.

As of October 31, 2011, there were no borrowings under the Facility and we were in compliance with the financial covenants.

Notes Payable

In July 2004, we entered into a loan agreement with Mid-State Bank & Trust, a bank which was subsequently purchased by Rabobank, N.A. The loan had an original principal amount of $18.0 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%. This loan is secured by our headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. The terms of the loan provide that we will make 119 monthly payments of $115,000 consisting of principal and interest and one final principal payment of $15.4 million. The loan matures in July 2014. The balance of the note payable at October 31, 2011 was $16.2 million.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Rates. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, approximately 40% of our revenue was denominated in foreign currencies. Approximately 45% of our expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011. As a result, fluctuations in the values of the respective currencies relative to the currencies in which we generate revenue could adversely affect us.

Fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have affected, and will continue to affect, period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, foreign currency transaction and remeasurement (gains) losses totaled $0.6 million and $(0.2) million, respectively, and are included in “Other (income) expense, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Due to constantly changing currency exposures and the volatility of currency exchange rates, we may experience currency losses in the future and we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. Although we do not currently undertake hedging transactions, we may choose to hedge a portion of our currency exposure in the future, as we deem appropriate.

Interest Rates. We invest our surplus cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting principally of short-term marketable securities with maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. Our investment securities are held for purposes other than trading. Cash balances held by subsidiaries are invested primarily in registered money market funds with local operating banks. Our debt is comprised of a loan agreement, secured by real property, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%. Additionally we have an unsecured loan agreement which bears interest at variable rates. As of October 31, 2011 there were no borrowings under our unsecured loan agreement.

We prepared sensitivity analyses of our interest rate exposure and our exposure from anticipated investment and borrowing levels for fiscal 2012 to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates. Based upon the results of these analyses, a 10% adverse change in interest rates from the 2011 fiscal year-end rates would not have a material adverse effect on the fair value of investments and would not materially impact our results of operations or financial condition for the next fiscal year.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, QAD is party, either as plaintiff or defendant, to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors reported in Item 1A within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.
