The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2010.

After the issuance of our March 31, 2010 interim financial statements, management identified an error in the presentation of currency transaction losses on foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents within the statement of cash flows. These losses should have been presented as a reconciling item within cash flows from operating activities and included within the~~Effect of exchange rate on cash and cash equivalents~~ ~~in the statement of cash flows. The impact of the applicable line items within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:~~

The effect of the presentation error has no impact on the reported cash and cash equivalents, total changes in cash flows for the period, the condensed consolidated statement of operations or condensed consolidated balance sheet. This matter did not have a material impact on the 2009, 2008, or 2007 consolidated financial statements, or any interim period within those years.

As the Company has concluded that these adjustments are immaterial to the March 31, 2010 interim financial statements, these adjustments will be prospectively reflected in applicable condensed consolidated statement of cash flows reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and include costs to effect an impending or completed acquisition and direct and incremental costs associated with an acquisition. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010, the Company incurred $5.0 million of acquisition-related costs ~~were primarily~~associated with its acquisition of Chordiant Software, Inc. (“Chordiant”). These costs consisted of approximately $3.1 million of due diligence costs and advisory and legal transaction fees, ~~legal,~~approximately $0.7 million of valuation and tax consulting ~~and valuation~~ fees, $0.8 million of legal costs associated with the ~~Company’s acquisition~~assumed litigation, and $0.4 million of ~~Chordiant.~~integration and other expenses. See Note 5 “Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangibles” for further discussion of the acquisition.

Restructuring costs include severance and related benefit costs for the reduction of personnel during the second and third quarter of 2010 related to the Chordiant acquisition. See Note 8 “Accrued Restructuring Costs” for further detail.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for classifying such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, the Company measures its marketable securities and cash equivalents at fair value and classifies them as follows:

On April 21, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Chordiant, a leading provider of customer relationship management (“CRM”) software and services with a focus on improving customer experiences through decision technology. The aggregate purchase price for Chordiant was approximately $160.3 million, consisting of $156.8 million in cash and stock options with a fair value of $3.5 million. The Company issued approximately 241,000 stock options as replacement of outstanding Chordiant stock options at the ~~date of the closing.~~acquisition date. The majority of the fair value of these stock options was recorded as purchase price based on the portion of the awards related to pre-combination services. The compensation expense associated with the portion of the replacement awards related to post-combination services totaled $0.2 million and will be recognized as compensation expense over the remaining service period. AsThe Company has expensed all transaction costs, as described in Note 1 “Accounting Policies.” These costs have been included in acquisition-related costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of ~~June 30, 2010, the Company incurred direct incremental expenses associated with the transaction of $4.9 million.~~operations.

The Company believes the acquisition will expand its global customer base and provide complementary solutions. Chordiant clients will be able to incorporate Pegasystems process automation to enhance their experience in their existing call center and marketing solutions. Pegasystems’ clients will benefit from Chordiant’s decision management solutions and extensive CRM assets. In addition, the Company believes the combination of the two companies will expand the partner network and provide incremental business opportunity growth.

The operations of Chordiant are included in our operating results from the date of acquisition. ~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $7.8 million of revenue was directly attributable to Chordiant operations.~~ Due to the rapid integration of the sales force and operations of Chordiant, other than the maintenance revenue attributable to the amortization of the fair value of acquired deferred revenue, it ~~will become increasingly difficult~~is no longer feasible for the Company to ~~separately~~ identify revenue from arrangements attributable to Chordiant.

The valuation of the acquired intangible assets and assumed liabilities is preliminary. The Company is ~~currently~~ in the process of investigating the facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date in order to finalize its valuation and establish the related tax basis. The Company has preliminarily determined that it may utilize approximately $146 million of acquired Chordiant net operating losses (“NOLs”), which are subject to annual limitations through 2029. As a result of this determination, the Company updated its purchase price allocation in the third quarter of 2010 and recorded a $31.5 million increase in net deferred tax assets, a $0.3 million increase in accrued federal income taxes, a decrease of $2.4 million in acquired intangible assets, and a $29.4 million decrease in goodwill. As of September 30, 2010, as a result of the updated preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recognized approximately ~~$48.6~~$19.2 million of goodwill, which is primarily due to the expected synergies of the combined entities and the workforce in place. The goodwill created by the transaction is nondeductible for tax purposes. A summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Chordiant is as follows:

The valuation of the assumed deferred maintenance revenue ~~liability~~ was based on the Company’s contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Chordiant customers. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. The majority of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the ~~next~~ 12 ~~months.~~months following the acquisition. The valuation of the acquired intangible assets is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company’s estimates of contract renewal, technology attrition and revenue growth projections. The preliminary allocations of the purchase price consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired were based on our estimates and assumptions that are still subject to change.

The preliminary values for specifically identifiable intangible assets, by major asset class, are as follows:

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Chordiant as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2010 and 2009, respectively, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Chordiant acquisition, factually determinable, and expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. These pro forma adjustments include a reduction of historical Chordiant revenue for fair value adjustments related to acquired deferred revenue and deferred costs, a net increase in amortization expense to eliminate historical amortization of Chordiant intangible assets and to record amortization expense for the ~~$90.4~~$88 million of acquired identifiable intangibles, and a decrease in interest income as a result of the cash paid for the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The preliminary allocations of the purchase price consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed herein were based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are still subject to change.

In connection with the acquisition of Chordiant, the Company assumed an agreement with Ness Technologies Inc., Ness USA, Inc. and Ness Technologies India, Ltd. (collectively, “Ness”) that expires December 31, 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, Ness provides technical product support, sustaining engineering, ~~function,~~ product testing services, product development services and other identified technical and consulting services to customers acquired from Chordiant. If the Company terminates the Ness agreement for convenience, it may be required to pay a termination fee of approximately $0.4 million.

The complaint alleged that the Company’s Marketing Director (“CMD”) software product infringed copyrights in certain software marketed by Netbula LLC. On May 14, 2010, a jury awarded the Plaintiff approximately $1.4 million, which was accrued in the assumed Chordiant liabilities and included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME~~On August 17, 2010, the Plaintiff filed an additional complaint with the Court against a number of Chordiant customers and partners, alleging that their use of CMD infringed the same copyrights at issue in the complaint filed against Chordiant. In accordance with the terms of Chordiant’s contracts with these customers and partners, the Company has agreed to indemnify and defend these customers and partners in this matter. On November 1, 2010, the Company filed motions with the Court seeking to dismiss the claims in this complaint.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates 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 forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and management’s beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “target,” “project,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

We encourage you to carefully review the risk factors we have identified in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. We believe these risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We develop and license ~~rules-based BPM~~our SmartBPM software that provides business process solutions in the enterprise applications market. Our software is used to build business process solutions including customer on-boarding and account opening in new business, customer relationship management (“CRM”), servicing backbone and risk/fraud and compliance management. We also provide professional services, maintenance, and training related to our software. We focus our sales efforts on target accounts, which are companies or divisions within companies, and are typically large organizations that are among the leaders in their industry. Our strategy is to sell initial licenses to these target accounts that are focused on a specific purpose or area of operations, rather than selling large enterprise licenses. This strategy allows our customers to quickly realize business value from our software and limits their initial investment. Once a customer has realized this initial value, we work with the customer to identify opportunities for follow-on sales.

Our license revenue is primarily derived from sales of our PegaRULES Process Commander (“PRPC”) software and related solution frameworks. PRPC is a comprehensive platform for building and managing BPM applications that unifies business rules and business processes. Our solution frameworks are built on the capabilities of PRPC and are purpose- or industry-specific collections of best practice functionality to allow organizations to quickly implement new customer-facing practices and processes, bring new offerings to market, and provide customized or specialized processing. These products often ~~require less~~result in shorter implementation ~~assistance~~periods than ~~prior generations of our~~competitive enterprise software products. ~~In many cases this has resulted in a shorter sales process and implementation period.~~ PRPC and related solution frameworks can be used by a broad range of customers within financial services, insurance and healthcare markets, as well as other markets, such as life sciences and government.

As a result of our acquisition of Chordiant Software, Inc. (“Chordiant”) in April 2010, we have expanded our ability to develop and ~~its customer experience management solutions, we~~license CRM software. We acquired additional products (Chordiant Decision Management, Chordiant Foundation Server, and Chordiant Marketing Director solutions) that enable customers to maximize customer lifetime value through a suite of industry-leading ~~technologies (Chordiant Decision Management, Chordiant Foundation Server, and Chordiant Marketing Director solutions).~~technologies. We expect to provide new releases of these products that include functional enhancements and improvements. We intend to remain a leader in the use of decision management to improve multi-channel customer experiences, provide better cross-sell/up-sell and aid customer retention. Our intent in this area is to make definition and deployment of decision strategies even easier by leveraging our thin-client design environment and our flexible, Build for Change^® configuration capabilities.

We also offer SmartPaaS, which is our platform-as-a service offering that allows customers to create PRPC applications using an internet-based ~~infrastructure.~~infrastructure (“cloud”). This offering enables our customers to immediately build their applications in a secure cloud environment while minimizing their infrastructure and hardware costs.

Our customers typically request professional services and training to assist them in implementing our products. Almost all of our customers also purchase maintenance on our products, which includes rights to upgrades and new releases, incident resolution and technical assistance. Professional services are provided directly by us and through our network of partners.

Our total revenue increased ~~29%~~39% and ~~25%~~29%, respectively, during the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily because of the increase in maintenance and professional services revenues associated with a higher number of license arrangements executed in 2009 and ~~$7.8 million of~~maintenance revenue ~~directly~~ attributable to the ~~Chordiant operations.~~amortization of the fair value of deferred revenue acquired from Chordiant.

We used ~~$6.3~~$9.5 million in cash from operations during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and generated ~~$29.4~~$38.8 million in cash from operations in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2009. The primary ~~components~~component of cash used in operations during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 ~~were a $4.3 million net loss, and~~was an increase in working capital requirements due to a ~~$12.5~~$22 million increase in accounts receivable influenced by the timing of customer billings.

~~Through the first half of 2010, the~~The aggregate value of new license arrangements executed in ~~Europe and Asia~~the third quarter of 2010 was significantly higher than in the ~~first half~~second quarter of ~~2009.

We believe ~~these~~our results reflect our ability to quickly and successfully deliver our versatile Build for Change ® technology to Fortune ® 500 customers across industries and international borders, allowing these customers to reduce operating costs and increase revenues after a short implementation period. These operational efficiencies experienced by our customers are part of the strong value proposition our technology provides to our customers.

We believe the ongoing challenges for our business include our ability to continue to drive revenue growth, continue to expand our expertise in new and existing industries, remain a leader in the decision management market, and maintain our leadership position in the BPM market.

To address these challenges, ~~during the first six months of 2010, we:~~we continue to invest in our research and development efforts and sales and marketing by significantly increasing headcount and we continue to expand our partner alliances.

Both organizations share a vision of transforming multi-channel CRM through decisioning and process automation. The combination of Pegasystems and Chordiant will be able to deliver next-generation CRM that provides end-to-end customer experience functionality across organizations. We will focus our research and development efforts to deliver on this vision. ~~We have gained significant expertise and knowledge via the Chordiant personnel who have been integrated with our existing resources.~~

The valuation of the acquired intangible assets and assumed liabilities is preliminary. The Company is currently in the process of investigating the facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date in order to finalize its valuation and establish the related tax basis.

During the second quarter of 2010, in connection with our integration plan, we recorded $6.1 million of severance and related benefit costs for the reduction of approximately 50fifty personnel in redundant roles across multiple functions, primarily general and administrative functions. During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded the remaining $0.4 million of severance and benefit costs related to the reduction of these personnel whose employment ended in the third quarter of 2010. These restructuring costs are all cash costs and are expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of 2012. ~~We expect to incur an additional $0.4 million in severance costs during the third quarter of 2010.~~ In connection with our evaluation of our combined facilities, we approved a plan to eliminate one redundant facility. As a result, we expect to incur approximately ~~$1.3~~$1.2 million in additional restructuring expenses, ~~during the third quarter of 2010,~~ representing future lease payments and demising costs, net of estimated sublease income for the identified facility. These exit costs will be recognized when we cease to use the leased facility, which is expected to occur by the end of 2010. In addition to these restructuring costs, during the ~~second~~third quarter and first nine months of 2010, we recorded $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in compensation and related benefits ~~relating to~~for Chordiant employees who ~~are~~

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, other than as follows:

Goodwill represents the residual purchase price paid in a business combination after all identified assets and liabilities have been recorded. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment by the ~~use of a~~ fair value model at a reporting unit level. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we would determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and evaluate if it is impaired.

We evaluate our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In evaluating potential impairment of these assets, we specifically consider whether any indicators of impairment are present, including, but not limited to:

If indicators of impairment are present, we compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows that the specific asset is expected to generate to its carrying value. These estimates involve significant subjectivity. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

In connection with our acquisition of Chordiant and ~~as a result of the~~our preliminary purchase price allocation, we recorded ~~$90.4~~$88 million of intangible assets, relating principally to customer related intangible assets and acquired ~~technology, and $48.6 million of goodwill.~~technology. The valuation of the acquired intangible assets ~~and assumed liabilities~~ is preliminary. The valuation process used to calculate the values assigned to these acquired intangible assets is complex and involves significant estimation relative to our financial projections. The principal component of the valuation process is the determination of discounted future cash flows, which are based on a number of estimates and assumptions. There is inherent uncertainty involved with this estimation process. The estimates and assumptions that are most sensitive include, but are not limited to:

For more information regarding our critical accounting policies, we encourage you to read the discussion contained in Item 7 under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We continue to experience demand for our software ~~products~~solutions and related services, which we believe is due to the strong value proposition, short implementation period, and variety of licensing ~~terms~~models we offer our customers. Our success is also due to the growth in the overall BPM sector and our position as the leader in this market space.

The increases in gross profit during the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 were primarily due to the increases in maintenance and license revenue.

The increase in operating expenses during the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 was primarily due to costs associated with the continued expansion of our sales force and our research and development operations and incremental expenses related to the Chordiant acquisition and the resulting restructuring costs.

The decreases in income before provision for income taxes during the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 were primarily due to the higher growth rate of ~~our~~the operating expenses ~~incremental expenses related~~and lower total gross margin due to ~~the Chordiant acquisition and the resulting restructuring costs,~~ lower software license revenue as a percentage of total ~~revenue and foreign currency transaction losses~~revenue. The decrease in ~~2010 as opposed to foreign currency gains in 2009.~~

~~The increase in operating expenses~~income before provision for income taxes during the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 ~~included $6.5 million of incremental Chordiant operating expenses.~~

~~Our loss before benefit for income taxes was primarily attributable~~compared to the ~~$5.5 million and $7.7~~same period in 2009 was also due to the $6.5 million increase in foreign currency transaction ~~losses during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009.~~losses.

A change in the number or size of high value license arrangements, or a change in the mix between perpetual and term licenses, can cause our revenues to fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter. The revenue growth rate achieved in any historical period is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for future periods.

The mix between perpetual and term license revenue is driven by the type of license arrangements ~~fluctuates~~executed, which vary based on customer needs. The increase in perpetual license revenue during the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to a significant increase in the number of arrangements.

Many of our perpetual license arrangements include extended payment terms and/or additional rights of use that delay the recognition of revenue to future periods. The aggregate value of payments due under these perpetual and certain subscription licenses was ~~$41.2~~$36.2 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 compared to ~~$28.2~~$45.8 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009. See the table of future cash receipts by year from these perpetual licenses and ~~certain~~ subscription licenses on page ~~26.~~29.

We recognize revenue for our term license arrangements over the term of the agreement as payments become due or earlier if ~~prepaid.~~paid. The ~~decrease~~decreases in term license revenue during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2010 and first nine months of 2010 compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2009 ~~was~~were primarily due to ~~fewer arrangements and~~ more prepayments of term licenses by a few customers during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009.

The aggregate value of payments due under term licenses was ~~$66.1~~$71.6 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 compared to ~~$78.0~~$70.2 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2009. A portion of the revenue related to the aggregate value of payments for term licenses signed during 2010, 2009, ~~2008,~~ and ~~2007~~2008 was recognized during the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2010. The remainder of the revenue under these agreements will be recognized in future periods. The aggregate value of future payments due under non-cancellable term licenses as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 includes ~~$11.8~~$5.3 million of term license payments that we expect to recognize as revenue during the remainder of 2010. However, ~~we expect~~ our actual term license revenue for the remainder of 2010 could be higher than ~~$11.8~~$5.3 million as we complete new term license agreements in 2010 or if we receive prepayments from existing term license agreements. See the table of future cash receipts by year from these term licenses on page ~~26.~~29.

Subscription revenue primarily relates to our arrangements that include a right to unspecified future products and is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. The ~~increases~~decrease in subscription revenue during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily due to a change in a customer’s selection of a renewal option and the timing of scheduled payments under another customer’s arrangement. Changes of this nature can cause our subscription revenue to vary quarter to quarter. The increase in subscription revenue during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same ~~periods~~period in 2009 ~~were~~was primarily due to a new customer arrangement that began in the third quarter of 2009.

General and administrative expenses include compensation, benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with the finance, legal, corporate governance, and other administrative headcount. It also includes accounting, legal, and other professional consulting administrative fees.

The general and administrative headcount includes employees in human resources, information technology and corporate services departments whose costs are allocated to the rest of ~~the Company’s~~our functional departments. The general and administrative ~~headcount at June 30,~~expenses during the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 ~~also includes approximately 20~~include $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of compensation and benefit expenses for Chordiant employees who were in transitional roles that ~~are part of the restructuring related to the Chordiant acquisition and whose employment with the Company will end~~ended by the end of the third quarter of 2010.

The increase in general and administrative expenses during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due to a ~~$0.2~~$0.4 million increase in compensation and benefit expenses associated with higher headcount, a $0.3 million increase in contractor services ~~expenses,~~expense, and a ~~$0.3~~$0.8 million increase in professional ~~fees, and $1.1 million of expenses related to Chordiant.~~fees. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily due to a ~~$0.5~~$1.5 million increase in compensation and benefit expenses associated with higher headcount, a ~~$0.3~~$0.7 million increase in ~~contracting~~contractor services expense, and ~~$1.1~~a $0.7 million increase in professional fees. The increases in general and administrative expenses during the third quarter and first nine months of ~~expenses related~~2010 compared to ~~Chordiant.~~the same periods in 2009 was also due to a $0.5 million reduction in our non-income tax reserve recorded during the third quarter of 2009.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and include costs to effect an impending or completed acquisition and direct and incremental costs associated with an acquisition. During the ~~second quarter~~first nine months of 2010, ~~the $3.4~~we incurred $5.0 million of acquisition-related costs were primarily advisory fees, legal, tax consulting and valuation fees associated with our acquisition of Chordiant. During the first quarter of 2010, the $1.5 million of acquisition related costs were primarily legal and advisory fees and due diligence costs associated with the Chordiant acquisition. These costs consisted of approximately $3.1 million of due diligence costs and advisory and legal transaction fees, approximately $0.7 million of valuation and tax consulting fees, approximately $0.8 million of legal costs associated with acquired litigation, and approximately $0.4 million of integration and other expenses.

~~The $6.1 million of restructuring~~Restructuring costs are primarily severance and related benefit costs recognized during the second and third quarter of 2010 for the reduction of approximately 50fifty personnel in redundant roles, primarily in general and administrative functions. ~~We expect to incur an additional $0.4 million in severance costs during the third quarter of 2010.~~ In connection with our evaluation of our combined facilities, we approved a plan to eliminate one redundant facility. As a result, we expect to incur approximately ~~$1.3~~$1.2 million in additional restructuring expenses, ~~during the end of 2010,~~ representing future lease payments and demising costs, net of estimated sublease income for this identified facility. These exit costs will be recognized when we cease to use the leased facility, which is expected to occur by the end of 2010.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The increases in stock-based compensation during the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 were primarily due to our periodic stock option grants and new hire stock option grants.

The increase in foreign currency transaction gains during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due to the increase in the value of the British pound and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar during the three-month comparative periods.

The increase in foreign currency transaction losses during the first nine months of 2010 was due to the significant decrease in the value of the British pound and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar during the nine-month comparative periods and the higher total amount of foreign currency denominated net assets held in the U.S., during 2010, consisting primarily of cash ~~receivables, license installments~~ and ~~accounts payable.~~receivables.

Other income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 includes a $0.6 million unrealized gain related to the fair value adjustment of warrants we own for shares of a closely-held private company. On November 1, 2010, the sale of this private company was completed and we received $0.6 million cash proceeds for the shares underlying these warrants.

The decreases in interest income ~~and the increases in the realized gains~~ for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 were due to the liquidation of our marketable securities used to pay for the Chordiant acquisition.

We account for income taxes at each interim period using our estimated annual effective tax rate. The provision for income taxes represents current and future amounts owed for federal, state, and foreign taxes.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2010, we recorded a benefit of $3.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on a pre-tax loss of $11.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.9% and 16.9%, respectively. We recorded a discrete item related to the nondeductible portion of acquisition-related costs incurred in the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 associated with the Chordiant acquisition, which reduced the tax benefit for the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 ~~by 2.9%~~ and ~~13.5%, respectively.~~resulted in a provision of $0.2 million on a pre-tax loss of $1 million. During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded a $1.1 million provision on pre-tax income of $4.2 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.4%.

We are infinalizing the process of evaluating our tax position related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Chordiant acquisition. The valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the valuationdetermination of the acquired ~~net operating losses is preliminary~~tax basis and ~~is subject~~measurement of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions. There were no significant changes in our uncertain tax positions since December 31, 2009 other than what may relate to ~~change until we have gathered all of~~ the ~~relevant facts that existed at the acquisition date.~~Chordiant acquisition.

Our effective tax rate during the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2009 was below the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the investment in tax-exempt municipal bonds and the benefit from the SEZ India tax holiday.

We have funded our operations primarily from cash provided by operations. Working capital was ~~$61.7~~$66.4 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 compared to $188.6 million as of December 31, 2009.

In April 2010, we acquired Chordiant for $109.2 million in cash, net of approximately $47.6 million of cash acquired.

In connection with ~~the Company’s~~our integration plan of Chordiant and the reduction of approximately 50fifty employees, ~~the Company~~we paid approximately ~~$1.1~~$2.6 million in severance and related benefit costs during the ~~second quarter~~first nine months of 2010. ~~The Company expects~~We expect to pay an additional $5$3.9 million in severance and related benefit costs, of which ~~$3.9~~$3.3 million will be paid over the next 12 months and ~~$1.1~~$0.6 million by the second half of 2012.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months.

The primary components of cash used in operations during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 were a ~~$4.3~~$1.2 million net loss and a ~~$12.5~~$22 million increase in accounts ~~receivable and $5.5 million of excess tax benefits from exercise or vesting of equity awards.~~receivable.

The primary driver of cash provided by operations during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2009 was net income of ~~$19.9~~$25.9 million.

During the first quarter of 2010, we liquidated our marketable securities to pay for the Chordiant acquisition. During the second quarter of 2010, we paid ~~$109.0~~$109.2 million, net of cash acquired to complete the Chordiant acquisition.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2009, cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchases of marketable debt securities of ~~$29.5~~$50 million, partially offset by the proceeds received from the sales, maturities and called marketable debt securities of ~~$18.5~~$35.9 million.

Cash used in financing activities during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009 was primarily for repurchases of our common stock and the payment of our quarterly dividend. Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved annual stock repurchase programs ~~that have authorized~~authorizing the repurchase in the aggregate of up to ~~$75.0~~$80.8 million of our common stock. Purchases under these programs have been made on the open market.

The following table is a summary of our repurchase activity under ~~all of~~ our repurchase programs during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009:


	2010				2009
(Dollars in thousands)	Shares			Amount	Shares			Amount

Repurchases unsettled		799		(24)		975		(34)

Authorization remaining as of September 30,			$	9,793			$	2,969

In addition to the share repurchases made under our repurchase programs, we net settled the majority of our employee equity awards, which resulted in the withholding of shares to cover the stock option exercise price and the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009, our employees net settled equity awards representing the right to purchase a total of ~~623,000~~571,000 shares and ~~1,704,000~~2,161,000 shares, respectively, of which only ~~289,000~~299,000 shares and ~~777,000~~1,049,000 shares were issued to the employees and the balance of the shares were surrendered to us to pay for the exercise price and the applicable taxes. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009, instead of receiving cash from the equity holders, we withheld shares with a value of ~~$4.2~~$4.5 million and ~~$5.6~~$7.0 million, respectively, for withholding taxes, and ~~$4.7~~$5.0 million and ~~$15.1~~$19.7 million, respectively, for the exercise price. The value of share repurchases and shares withheld for net settlement of our employee equity awards more than offset the proceeds received under our various share-based compensation plans during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009.

~~The Company~~We declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share for each quarter during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009, and paid cash dividends of ~~$2.2~~$3.3 million and $3.2 million in ~~both~~ the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and ~~2009.~~2009, respectively. It is our current intention to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share to shareholders of record as of the first trading day of each quarter, however, the Board of Directors may terminate or modify this dividend program at any time without notice.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we had material purchase obligations for customer support and consulting services and payments under operating leases. Our principal administrative, sales, marketing, support, and research and development operations are located in approximately 105,000 square foot leased facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The lease for this facility expires in 2013, subject to our option to extend for two additional five-year periods. We also lease space for our other offices under non-cancelable operating leases that expire on various dates through 2014.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 our known contractual obligations, including future minimum rental payments required under operating leases with non-cancelable terms in excess of one year were as follows:

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions to manage risk in connection with such fluctuations.

We derived approximately ~~38%~~39% and ~~35%~~37% of our total revenue from sales to customers based outside of the United States (“U.S.”) during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our international license and professional services have increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies. However, the operating expenses of our foreign operations are also primarily denominated in foreign currencies, which partially offset our foreign currency exposure. A decrease in the value of foreign currencies, particularly the British pound and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, could adversely impact our revenues and operating results.

~~Most~~Our U.S. operating company invoices most of our ~~transactions with~~foreign customers ~~are invoiced from our offices~~ in ~~the U.S. For those transactions that are denominated in~~foreign currencies, ~~other than the U.S. dollar, we have~~so it holds certain cash, receivables and license installments ~~that are~~ valued in these foreign currencies. Our U.S. operating ~~company holds cash in foreign currencies in order to support our foreign operations. Our~~company’s functional currency is ~~primarily~~ the U.S. ~~dollar, therefore,~~dollar. Therefore, when there are changes in the foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar, we recognize a foreign currency transaction gain or (loss) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, ~~our foreign subsidiaries~~we have intercompany accounts that are eliminated in consolidation, but ~~that~~ expose us to foreign currency exchange rate ~~fluctuation. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our short-term intercompany accounts~~fluctuation, which are recorded as foreign currency transaction gains or (losses) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of our acquisition of Chordiant, we have expanded our international operations. We hold U.S. dollars in these foreign operations whose functional currency is the Euro in order to partially offset our exposure to foreign currency transaction losses related to ~~non-functional~~foreign currencies held by our U.S. operating company. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we held cash and receivables subject to foreign currency transaction gains or ~~(losses)~~losses with a net carrying value of approximately ~~$20.2~~$18.9 million. ~~The~~A ten percent change in the foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2010 would have changed the net carrying value of ~~these~~our net monetary assets ~~includes the netting~~by approximately $1.9 million as of ~~U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets held~~that date with a corresponding currency gain (loss) recognized in ~~certain foreign operations whose functional currency is the Euro with the foreign currency monetary assets held by~~ our ~~U.S.~~condensed consolidated statement of operations.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010, we recorded a ~~$5.6~~$4.1 million foreign currency transaction loss due to the decrease in the value of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and British pound, relative to the U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2010, a ten percent change in foreign currency exchange rates would have changed the carrying value of our net monetary assets by approximately $2.0 million as of that date with a corresponding currency gain (loss) recognized in our consolidated statement of operations.

In March 2010, we liquidated our marketable securities and invested the proceeds primarily in money market funds ~~in preparation~~ to pay for the Chordiant acquisition. In April 2010, we acquired Chordiant for a cash purchase price of approximately $109.2 million, net of approximately $47.6 million of cash acquired. WeAs of September 30, 2010, our cash was invested ~~the cash~~ primarily in money market funds, commercial paper, and government sponsored ~~enterprises and foreign currencies.~~enterprise bonds. As a result, we are not subject to significant interest rate risk.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We encourage you to carefully consider the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results and could cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management from time to time. There have been no material changes during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010 to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
