NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Forrester Research, Inc. (“Forrester”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 may not be indicative of the results for the year ended December 31, 2009, or any other period.

NOTE 2 — REORGANIZATION

On February 9, 2009, Forrester announced a reduction of its workforce by approximately 50 positions in response to conditions and demands of the market and a slower economy. Additionally, Forrester identified certain leased office space that was no longer required to support the ongoing business. As a result, Forrester recorded a reorganization charge of approximately $3.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Approximately 44% of the terminated employees were members of the sales force, while 38% and 18% held research and administrative roles, respectively.

The activity related to the February 9, 2009 reorganization during the six months ended June 30, 2009 is as follows (in thousands):

	Total		Cash		Accrued as of

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS

JupiterResearch

On July 31, 2008, Forrester acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of JUPR Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent company of JupiterResearch, LLC (“JupiterResearch”). JupiterResearch provided business professionals with syndicated research, analysis, and advice backed by proprietary data. The acquisition supported the Company’s role-based strategy, added greater depth and breadth to the marketing and strategy syndicated product offering, increased the number of client companies and was expected to reduce operating expenses of the combined entity through economies of scale. The total consideration was $22.0 million which consisted of initial cash consideration of $23.0 million less a working capital adjustment of $1.0 million which was received in the fourth

6

quarter of 2008. The aggregate purchase price of $22.6 million consisted of $22.0 million in cash for the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Holdings common stock, $398,000 of direct acquisition costs and $154,000 for severance related to 14 employees of JupiterResearch terminated as a result of the acquisition, of which $8,000 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2008 and the remainder was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The results of JupiterResearch’s operations have been included in Forrester’s consolidated financial statements since July 31, 2008 and the Company has not furnished pro forma financial information relating to the acquisition because such information is not material.

Forrester Middle East FZ-LLC

On January 22, 2009, Forrester acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Forrester Middle East FZ-LLC (FME), a Dubai, UAE based reseller of Forrester’s products that also offered consulting services to local customers, to expand the Company’s direct geographical presence in the area. The total consideration was approximately $1.1 million of which approximately $561,000 was paid on the acquisition date, $266,000 was paid in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $266,000 will be due in the fourth quarter of 2009, subject to a downward adjustment based on certain contractual provisions. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in an allocation of approximately $1.1 million to intangible assets, principally customer relationships to be amortized over 7 years according to the expected cash flows to be received from the underlying asset, and $22,000 to the net liabilities acquired. The results of FME’s operations have been included in Forrester’s consolidated financial statements since January 22, 2009 and the Company has not furnished pro forma financial information relating to the acquisition because such information is not material.

The following table summarizes the maturity periods of the short- and long-term investments in the Company’s portfolio as of June 30, 2009, excluding the Right (as defined below) from UBS. In February 2008, certain auction rate securities (“ARS”) that Forrester holds experienced failed auctions that limited the liquidity of these securities. Based on current market conditions, it is likely that auction failures will continue. As the funds associated with the ARS may not be accessible for in excess of twelve months because of continued failed auctions or the inability to find a buyer outside of the auction process, these securities have been classified as long-term investments. The actual contractual maturities of these investments were they not to reset would occur at various dates between 2009 and 2041 with $1.2 million maturing in one to five years, $600,000 maturing in five to ten years and $43.2 million maturing after ten years.

In 2007, Forrester owned an approximately 1.2% ownership interest in comScore, Inc. (“comScore”), a provider of infrastructure services which utilizes proprietary technology to accumulate comprehensive information on consumer buying behavior. In June 2007, comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR) completed an initial public offering in which Forrester’s ownership interest was converted to approximately 126,000 shares. In December 2007, Forrester sold approximately 20,000 shares. In February 2008, Forrester sold an additional 20,000 shares and the remaining 86,000 shares were sold in May 2008 resulting in gains of approximately $387,000 and $1.7 million, respectively.

Fair Value

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value, in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and trading securities. The fair value of these financial assets was determined based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets (cash equivalents and investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Money market funds (1)	$	24,605	$	—	$	—	$	24,605
Federal agency and corporate obligations (2)		—		94,535		—		94,535
State and municipal obligations		—		61,858		41,776		103,634
UBS Put Right		—		—		2,124		2,124
Total	$	24,605	$	156,393	$	43,900	$	224,898

(1)	Included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009.
(2)	Approximately $17.0 million included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009.

Level 3 assets consist of municipal bonds with an auction reset feature (ARS) whose underlying assets are principally student loans which are substantially backed by the federal government. Since the auctions for these securities have continued to fail since February 2008, these investments are not currently trading and therefore do not have a readily determinable market value. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the ARS no longer approximates par value. A large portion of these ARS are held by UBS AG (UBS), one of the Company’s investment advisors. In November 2008, the Company accepted an offer (the “Right”) from UBS entitling the Company to sell at par value ARS originally purchased from UBS (approximately $34.0 million par value at June 30, 2009) (“UBS ARS”) at anytime during a two-year period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012. Although the Company expects to sell its UBS ARS under the Right, if the Right is not exercised before July 2, 2012, it will expire and UBS will have no further rights or obligation to buy the Company’s UBS ARS. The Company has valued the UBS ARS and Right using a discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 assumptions. The assumptions used in valuing the UBS ARS and the put option include estimates of, based on data available as of June 30, 2009, interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows, credit and liquidity premiums, expected holding periods of the UBS ARS, loan rates per the UBS ARS Rights offering and bearer risk associated with UBS’s financial ability to repurchase the UBS ARS beginning June 30, 2010. The combined fair value of the Right and the UBS ARS is equal to the par value of the UBS ARS.

The Company’s other investment advisor provided a valuation at par based on the limited market activity, which Forrester considered to be a Level 3 input in addition to the underlying credit rating of the Company’s other ARS, which was generally related to municipalities. In addition to the valuation at par Forrester completed a valuation of the securities using a discounted cash flow approach including estimates of interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows, credit and liquidity premiums and expected holding periods of the ARS. Forrester relied most heavily on this approach, which resulted in an unrealized loss recorded in other comprehensive income of approximately $1.1

9

million principally due to the steady decline in market activity. Forrester believes that the loss is temporary due to the underlying credit rating of the ARS and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the ARS until a full recovery has occurred.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	UBS Put
	Option			ARS
Balance at December 31, 2008	$	6,887			39,613

NOTE 6— NON-MARKETABLE INVESTMENTS

In June 2000, Forrester committed to invest $20.0 million in two technology-related private equity investment funds with capital contributions required to be funded over an expected period of five years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 Forrester contributed $25,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 no additional contributions were made. Total cumulative contributions are approximately $19.6 million to date. One of these investments is being accounted for using the cost method and, accordingly, is valued at cost unless an other than temporary impairment in its value occurs or the investment is liquidated. The other investment is being accounted for using the equity method as the investment is a limited partnership and Forrester has an ownership interest in the limited partnership in excess of 5% and, accordingly, Forrester records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, gross distributions of approximately $50,000 and $250,000, respectively, were recorded and resulted in gains of $32,000 and $134,000, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income. There were no distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Forrester recorded impairments of approximately $75,000 and $947,000, respectively, which were included in the consolidated statements of income. During each of the three and six months ended in both June 30, 2008 and 2009, fund management charges of approximately $84,000 and $168,000, respectively, were included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of income. Fund management charges are recorded as a reduction of the investment’s carrying value.

Forrester has adopted a cash bonus plan to pay bonuses, after the return of invested capital, measured by the proceeds of a portion of its share of net profits from these investments, if any, to certain key employees, subject to the terms and conditions of the plan. The payment of such bonuses would result in compensation expense with respect to the amounts so paid. To date, no bonuses have been paid under this plan. The principal purpose of this cash bonus plan was to retain key employees by allowing them to participate in a portion of the potential return from Forrester’s technology-related investments if they remained employed by the Company. The plan was established at a time when technology and internet companies were growing significantly, and providing incentives to retain key employees during that time was important.

In December 2003, Forrester committed to invest an additional $2.0 million over an expected capital contribution period of 2 years in an annex fund of one of the two private equity investment funds. The annex fund investment is outside of the scope of the previously mentioned bonus plan. As of June 30, 2009, Forrester had contributed $2.0 million to this fund. This investment is being accounted for using the equity method as the investment is a limited partnership and Forrester has an ownership interest in the limited partnership in excess of 5% and, accordingly, Forrester records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Forrester recorded impairments of approximately $4,000, which were

10

included in the consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no impairments recorded.

The timing of the recognition of future gains or losses from these investment funds is beyond Forrester’s control. As a result, it is not possible to predict when Forrester will recognize any gains or losses, if Forrester will award cash bonuses based on the net profit from such investments, or when Forrester will incur compensation expense in connection with the payment of such bonuses. If the investment funds realize large gains or losses on their investments, Forrester could experience significant variations in its quarterly results unrelated to its business operations. These variations could be due to significant gains or losses or to significant compensation expenses. While gains may offset compensation expenses in a particular quarter, there can be no assurance that related gains and compensation expenses will occur in the same quarters.

NOTE 7 — NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share was computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share was computed by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable on the exercise of outstanding options when dilutive. A reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED				SIX MONTHS ENDED

Stock-Based Compensation

     Forrester accounts for share-based payments under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). All of Forrester’s stock-based compensation is accounted for as equity instruments and Forrester has five equity plans required to be evaluated under SFAS No. 123R: two equity incentive plans, two directors’ stock option plans and an employee stock purchase plan. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Forrester recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation in net income over the requisite service period of the individual grantee, which generally equals the vesting period.

Forrester recorded approximately $1.3 million of stock-based compensation in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for each of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in the following expense categories (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Cost of services and fulfillment	$	640	$	648	$	1,748	$	1,416
Selling and marketing		183		206		610		476
General and administrative		477		444		1,135		813
	$	1,300	$	1,298	$	3,493	$	2,705

On April 1, 2008, Forrester issued to its employees options to purchase 370,000 shares of common stock. These options were subject to performance criteria and would vest only if certain pro forma operating profit targets related to full year 2008 performance were achieved. The vesting of these options was over 24, 36 or 48 months, or the options could be forfeited, depending on the actual pro forma operating profit achieved for 2008. At the time of grant, operating performance was expected to result in the options vesting over 48 months. The actual pro forma operating profit for 2008 resulted in accelerated vesting of the options over 24 months and the expense related to these options was recognized on a graded basis. Based on historical exercise patterns for options with similar vesting and the expected vesting period at the time of grant, Forrester used an expected option term of 2 years for the year one vest, 3 years for the year two vest, 4 years for the year three vest and 5 years for the year four vest to value these options.

On April 2, 2007, Forrester issued to its employees options to purchase 293,600 shares of common stock. These options were subject to performance criteria and would vest only if certain pro forma operating margin targets

12

related to full year 2007 performance were achieved. The vesting of these options was over 24 or 36 months, or the options could be forfeited, depending on the actual pro forma operating margin achieved for 2007. At the time of grant, operating performance was expected to result in the options vesting over 36 months. The actual pro forma operating margin for 2007 resulted in the options vesting over 36 months and the expense related to these options was recognized on a graded basis. Based on historical exercise patterns for options with similar vesting and the expected vesting period at the time of grant, Forrester used an expected option term of 2 years for the year one vest, 3 years for the year two vest and 4 years for the year three vest to value these options.

On April 3, 2006, Forrester issued to its employees options to purchase 587,500 shares of common stock. These options were subject to performance criteria and would vest only if certain pro forma operating margin targets related to full year 2006 performance were achieved. The vesting of these options was over 24 or 36 months, or the options could be forfeited, depending on the actual pro forma operating margin achieved for 2006. At the time of grant, operating performance was expected to result in the options vesting over 36 months. The actual pro forma operating margin for 2006 resulted in accelerated vesting of the options over 24 months and the expense related to these options was recognized on a graded basis. Based on historical exercise patterns for options with similar vesting and the expected vesting period at the time of grant, Forrester used an expected option term of 2 years for the year one vest, 3 years for the year two vest and 4 years for the year three vest to value these options.

Forrester utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation. The options granted under the stock plans and shares subject to purchase under the employee stock purchase plan were valued using the following assumptions:

	3 Months Ended						3 Months Ended
	June 30, 2009						June 30, 2008
				Employee						Employee
	Stock			Stock			Stock			Stock
	Option			Purchase			Option			Purchase
	Plans			Plan			Plans			Plan
Average risk-free interest rate		1.59	%		0.30	%		2.50	%		2.80	%
Expected dividend yield	None			None			None			None
Expected life	3.5 Years			0.5 Years			3.5 Years			0.5 Years
Expected volatility		44	%		44	%		35	%		35	%
Weighted average fair value at grant date	$	7.68		$	6.73		$	7.91		$	6.95

	6 Months Ended						6 Months Ended
	June 30, 2009						June 30, 2008
				Employee						Employee
	Stock			Stock			Stock			Stock
	Option			Purchase			Option			Purchase
	Plans			Plan			Plans			Plan
Average risk-free interest rate		1.48	%		0.30	%		2.60	%		2.80	%
Expected dividend yield	None			None			None			None
Expected life	3.5 Years			0.5 Years			3.5 Years			0.5 Years
Expected volatility		44	%		44	%		35	%		35	%
Weighted average fair value at grant date	$	7.95		$	6.73		$	7.86		$	6.95

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that Forrester has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based, in part, on the historical volatility of Forrester’s common stock as well as management’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of the awards granted. The risk-free interest rate used is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rate with an equivalent remaining term. Where the expected term of Forrester’s stock-based awards does not correspond with the terms for

13

which the interest rates are quoted, Forrester uses the rate with the maturity closest to the award’s expected term. The expected term calculation is based upon Forrester’s historical experience of exercise patterns.

Based on Forrester’s historical experience as well as management’s expectations for the next year, a forfeiture rate of 10% was used to determine current period expense. Forrester evaluated various employee groups and determined that the forfeiture experience and expectations were not materially different amongst employee groups and therefore concluded that one forfeiture rate was appropriate. Forrester will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and will record recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $256,000 and $373,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The unamortized fair value of stock options as of June 30, 2009 was $3.0 million, with a weighted average remaining recognition period of 1.22 years.

NOTE 9 — STOCK REPURCHASE

Through April 2009, the Board of Directors authorized an aggregate $200 million to purchase common stock under the stock repurchase program, including an additional $50 million authorized in April 2009. The shares repurchased may be used, among other things, in connection with Forrester’s employee stock option and purchase plans. As of June 30, 2009, Forrester had repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $130.9 million.

NOTE 10 — TAXES

Forrester provides for income taxes on an interim basis according to management’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Certain items such as adjustments to the Company’s tax expense related to the prior fiscal year, changes in tax rates, and tax benefits related to disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options are treated as discrete items and are recorded in the period in which they arise.

NOTE 11 — OPERATING SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE WIDE REPORTING

Forrester manages its business within three principal client groups (“Client Groups”), with each client group responsible for writing relevant research for the roles within the client organizations on a worldwide basis. The three client groups are: Information Technology Client Group (“IT”), Technology Industry Client Group (“TI”), and the Marketing and Strategy Client Group (“M&S”). All of the Client Groups generate revenues through sales of similar research and advisory and other service offerings targeted at specific roles within their targeted clients. Each of the Client Groups consists of a sales force responsible for selling to clients located within the Client Group’s target client base and research personnel focused primarily on issues relevant to particular roles and to the day-to-day responsibilities of persons within the roles. The results of JupiterResearch (see Note 3) are included in the M&S Client Group since the date of acquisition. Amounts included in the “Other” segment relate to the operations of the events sales and production departments. Revenue reported in the “Other” operating segment consists primarily of sponsorships and event tickets to Forrester events.

Forrester evaluates reportable segment performance and allocates resources based on direct margin. Direct margin, as presented below, is defined as operating income excluding certain selling and marketing expenses, client services, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses, depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles and reorganization costs. The accounting policies used by the reportable segments are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements.

Forrester does not identify or allocate assets, including capital expenditures, by operating segment. Accordingly, assets are not being reported by segment because the information is not available by segment and is not reviewed in the evaluation of performance or in making decisions on the allocation of resources.

NOTE 12 — STOCK OPTION INVESTIGATION: RESTATEMENT OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred expenses of $666,000 and $598,000 related to the stock option investigation and restatement of the Company’s historical financial statements, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, there were no expenses incurred related to the stock option investigation and restatement of the Company’s historical financial statements.

NOTE 13 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2). FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. These include goodwill and other non-amortizable intangible assets. The adoption of SFAS 157 to non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). Under SFAS 141(R), an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred; that restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date; and that changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period be recognized as a component of provision for taxes. For Forrester, SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of January 1, 2009, with the

16

exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired contingencies under SFAS 109. With the adoption of SFAS 141(R), any tax related adjustments associated with acquisitions that closed prior to January 1, 2009 will be recorded through income tax expense, whereas the previous accounting treatment would require any adjustment to be recognized through the purchase price. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP 141-R-1,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. This FSP amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141-R,Business Combinations, to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Early adoption of this statement was not permitted. The impact of adopting FSP 141-R-1 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the economic terms of any future business combinations.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(FSP No. 142-3) that amends the factors considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142. FSP No. 142-3 requires a consistent approach between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of an asset under SFAS No. 141(R). The FSP also requires enhanced disclosures when an intangible asset’s expected future cash flows are affected by an entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the arrangement. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165). The standard modifies the names of the two types of subsequent events either as recognized subsequent events (previously referred to in practice as Type I subsequent events) or non-recognized subsequent events (previously referred to in practice as Type II subsequent events). In addition, the standard modifies the definition of subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued (for public entities) or available to be issued (for nonpublic entities). It also requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The standard did not result in significant changes in the practice of subsequent event disclosures or the related accounting thereof, and therefore the adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related Staff Positions: (i) FSP 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(“FSP 157-4”), (ii) SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment(“FSP 115-2” and “FSP 124-2”), and (iii) SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107” and “APB 28-1”), which is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS 157 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. If the Company were to conclude that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation tonormalmarket activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and the Company may conclude that a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2 modify the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revises the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the currentintent and abilityindicator in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP 107 and APB 28-1 enhance the disclosure of instruments under the scope of SFAS 157 for both interim and annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating these Staff Positions and the impact, if any, that adoption will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operation or financial condition.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”)

17

will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will begin to use the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the Codification when referring to GAAP in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it should not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources and the success of and demand for our research and advisory products and services. These statements are based on our current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, our ability to respond to business and economic conditions, particularly in light of the continuing global economic downturn, technology spending, market trends, competition, the ability to attract and retain professional staff, possible variations in our quarterly operating results, any cost savings related to reductions in force and associated actions, risks associated with our ability to offer new products and services and our dependence on renewals of our membership-based research services and on key personnel. These risks are described more completely in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

We derive revenues from memberships to our research product offerings and from our advisory services and events. We offer contracts for our research products that are typically renewable annually and payable in advance. Research revenues are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the contract. Accordingly, a substantial portion of our billings are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Clients purchase advisory services independently and/or to supplement their memberships to our research. Billings attributable to advisory services are initially recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue when the customer receives the agreed upon deliverable. Event billings are also initially recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue upon completion of each event. Consequently, changes in the number and value of client contracts, both net decreases as well as net increases, impact our revenues and other results over a period of several months.

Our primary operating expenses consist of cost of services and fulfillment, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets. Cost of services and fulfillment represents the costs associated with the production and delivery of our products and services, and it includes the costs of salaries, bonuses, and related benefits for research personnel, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and all associated editorial, travel, and support services. Selling and marketing expenses include salaries, sales commissions, employee benefits, travel expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, promotional costs, and other costs incurred in marketing and selling our products and services. General and administrative expenses include the costs of the technology, operations, finance, and strategy groups and our other administrative functions, including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Overhead costs are allocated over these categories according to the number of employees in each group. Amortization of intangible assets represents the cost of amortizing acquired intangible assets such as customer relationships.

Reorganization costs relate to severance and related benefits costs incurred in connection with the termination of positions and to lease loss costs.

The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 include the operations of JupiterResearch, acquired July 31, 2008.

Deferred revenue, agreement value, client retention, dollar retention and enrichment are metrics we believe are important to understanding our business. We believe that the amount of deferred revenue, along with the agreement value of contracts to purchase research and advisory services, provide a significant measure of our business activity. Deferred revenue reflects billings in advance of revenue recognition as of the measurement date. We calculate agreement value as the total revenues recognizable from all research and advisory service contracts in force at a given time (but not including advisory-only contracts), without regard to how much revenue has already been recognized. No single client accounted for more than 2% of agreement value at June 30, 2009 or 2008. We calculate client retention as the percentage of client companies with memberships expiring during the most recent twelve-month period who renewed one or more of those memberships during that same period. We calculate dollar retention as a percentage of the dollar value of all client membership contracts renewed during the most recent twelve-month period to the total dollar value of all client membership contracts that expired during the period. We calculate enrichment as a percentage of the dollar value of client membership contracts renewed during the period to the dollar value of the corresponding expiring contracts. Client retention, dollar retention, and enrichment are not necessarily indicative of the rate of future retention of our revenue base. A summary of our key metrics is as follows:

	As of
	June 30,						Absolute			Percentage
	2009			2008			Decrease			Decrease
Deferred Revenue (dollars in millions)	$	98.1		$	108.1			(10.0	)		(9	)%
Agreement Value (dollars in millions)	$	185.5		$	200.1			(14.6	)		(7	)%
Client Retention		71	%		75	%		(4	)		(5	)%
Dollar Retention		81	%		86	%		(5	)		(6	)%
Enrichment		99	%		105	%		(6	)		(6	)%
Number of clients		2,493			2,544			(51	)		(2	)%

The decrease in deferred revenue, agreement value, client retention, dollar retention, enrichment and the number of clients is reflective of the more difficult economic environment. Decreases of the above metrics as compared with the comparable three-month and year-to-date periods in 2008 are expected to continue for the remainder of 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our policies and estimates, including but not limited to, those related to our revenue recognition, non-cash stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, non-marketable investments, goodwill and other intangible assets, taxes and valuation and impairment of marketable investments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The decrease in total revenues is principally the result of lower demand for our advisory and other services as explained further below, and the adverse impact of foreign exchange. The effects of foreign currency translation resulted in an approximately 4% decrease in total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in international revenues as a percentage of total revenues is primarily attributable to revenues declining at a slower rate internationally than in the United States.

The increase in research services revenues is primarily the result of our objective to drive a higher percentage of our total revenues from research services. In 2008, the Company modified its sales compensation plan for greater alignment with this objective. The increase in research services revenues is also due to the acquisition of JupiterResearch and is offset by the adverse impact of foreign exchange.

20

The decrease in advisory services and other revenues is reflective of a softer events performance, a decline in the demand for our advisory and consulting services, both driven by the global economic slowdown, our objective to drive a higher percentage of our total revenues from research services, and the adverse impact of foreign exchange.

No single client company accounted for more than 2% of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

Number of research and fulfillment employees (at end of period)		459			431			28			6	%

The decrease in cost of services and fulfillment in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to reduced discretionary travel and events related expenses.

Number of selling and marketing employees (at end of period)		374			394			(20	)		(5	)%

The decrease in selling and marketing expenses in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a decrease in sales commissions associated with lower sales volume in the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to the difficult economic environment.

Number of general and administrative employees (at end of period)		141			142			(1	)		(1	)%

The decrease in general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a decrease in professional services fees associated with the stock option investigation and restatement of our historical financial statements and other non-recurring expenses incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2008.

21

The increase in depreciation expense is primarily attributable to purchases of leasehold improvements in the first quarter of 2009.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $656,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $23,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in amortization expense is attributable to the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisitions of JupiterResearch on July 31, 2008 and Forrester Middle East on January 22, 2009.

OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net, consisting primarily of interest income, decreased to $453,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to net foreign exchange losses and lower returns on invested capital.

(IMPAIRMENTS) GAINS FROM SECURITIES AND NON-MARKETABLE INVESTMENTS, NET. Net impairments from non-marketable investments totaled $951,000 and $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 we sold the remaining 86,000 shares of comScore, receiving proceeds of approximately $1.9 million and recording a gain of approximately $1.7 million related to the sale.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $5.6 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 48%. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $5.1 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 37%. The increase in our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 resulted primarily from an increase in valuation allowance related to capital loss, an increase in state and foreign taxes, a decrease in deductions related to disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and an increase in non deductible expenses as a percentage of profit before tax.

22

The decrease in advisory services and other revenues is reflective of a decline in the demand for our advisory and consulting services, driven by the global economic slowdown, our objective to drive a higher percentage of our total revenues from research services, the adverse impact of foreign exchange and a softer overall events performance which was partially offset by an increase in events revenue in the first quarter of 2009 driven by an increase in the number of events held in the first quarter of 2009 as compared with the first quarter of 2008.

No single client company accounted for more than 2% of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

Number of research and fulfillment employees (at end of period)		459			431			28		6	%

The increase in cost of services and fulfillment in dollars is primarily attributable to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the acceleration of vesting of performance-based stock options granted in April 2008 and increased compensation and benefits costs resulting from an increase in the number of research and fulfillment employees, principally as a result of the acquisition of JupiterResearch in July 2008, significantly offset by reduced travel and entertainment expense as a result of expense management initiatives.

The increase in amortization expense is attributable to the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisitions of JupiterResearch on July 31, 2008 and Forrester Middle East on January 22, 2009.

OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net, consisting primarily of interest income, decreased to approximately $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from approximately $3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to lower returns on invested capital.

(IMPAIRMENTS) GAINS FROM SECURITIES AND NON-MARKETABLE INVESTMENTS, NET. Impairments from non-marketable investments totaled approximately $951,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net gains from non-marketable investments totaled approximately $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 we sold the remaining 106,000 shares of comScore, receiving proceeds of approximately $2.3 million and recording a gain of approximately $2.0 million related to the sale.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $7.4 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 46%. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $9.2 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 40%. The increase in our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 resulted primarily from an increase in valuation allowance related to capital loss, decrease in deductions related to disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and an increase in non deductible expenses as a percentage of profit before tax.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have financed our operations primarily through funds generated from operations. Memberships for research services, which constituted approximately 66% of our revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2009, are annually renewable and are generally payable in advance. We generated cash from operating activities of $29.4 million and $39.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in cash provided from operations is primarily attributable to decreased deferred revenue and decreased net income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we used $57.3 million of cash in investing activities, consisting primarily of $54.1 million used in net purchases of available-for-sale securities and $2.8 million of property and equipment purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated $67.8 million of cash from investing activities, consisting primarily of $69.0 million from net sales of available-for-sale securities, offset by $1.7 million of property and equipment purchases. We regularly invest excess funds in short and intermediate-term interest-bearing obligations of investment grade.

We used $8.0 million and $5.8 million of cash in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to a decrease in

24

proceeds from exercises of employee stock options offset by a decrease in purchases of our stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program.

Through April 2009, our Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate of $200.0 million to purchase common stock under the stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we repurchased approximately 497,000 shares and 722,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, we had cumulatively repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $130.9 million.

As of June 30, 2009, we held approximately $43.9 million of state and municipal bonds with an auction reset feature (auction rate securities or “ARS”) whose underlying assets are generally student loans which are substantially backed by the federal government. In February 2008, auctions began to fail for these securities. Based on current market conditions, auction failures have continued and, as a result, our ability to liquidate our investment and fully recover the carrying value of our investment in the near term may be limited or not exist. In November 2008, we accepted an offer (the “Right”) from UBS AG (“UBS”), one of our investment advisors, entitling us to sell at par ARS originally purchased from UBS (approximately $34.0 million, par value) at anytime during a two-year period from June 30, 2010 — July 2, 2012 (“UBS ARS”). We have the ability and intent to hold our UBS ARS, valued at $31.8 million at June 30, 2009, until a successful auction occurs and the UBS ARS are liquidated at par value or until we are able to sell our UBS ARS under the Right. Based on our expected operating cash flows and our cash resources, we do not anticipate the current lack of liquidity on our ARS investments will affect our ability to execute our current business plan.

As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $94.0 million and marketable investments and long-term investments of $183.3 million. We do not have a line of credit and do not anticipate the need for one in the foreseeable future. We plan to continue to introduce new products and services and expect to make minimal investments in our infrastructure during the next 12 months. We believe that our current cash balance, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations will satisfy working capital, financing activities, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next two years.

As of June 30, 2009, we had future contractual obligations as follows*:

	FUTURE PAYMENTS DUE BY YEAR
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS*	TOTAL		2009		2010		2011		2012		2013		2014		Thereafter

* The above table does not include future minimum rentals to be received under subleases of $95,000. The above table also does not include the remaining $425,000 of capital commitments to the private equity funds described above due to the uncertainty as to the timing of capital calls made by such funds.

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK. We maintain an investment portfolio consisting mainly of federal, state and municipal government obligations and corporate obligations. With the exception of the ARSs described below, all investments mature within 3 years. These available-for-sale securities are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. We have the ability to hold our fixed income investments until maturity (except for any future acquisitions or mergers). Therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates on our securities

25

portfolio. The following table provides information about our investment portfolio. For investment securities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Principal amounts by expected maturity in U.S. dollars are as follows (in thousands):

	FAIR VALUE

Total Investments		198,169			116,682			50,731			28,252			2,503
Weighted average interest rate		1.63	%		1.09	%		2.74	%		1.84	%		2.36	%
Total portfolio		222,774			141,287			50,731			28,252			2,503
Weighted average interest rate		1.51	%		1.00	%		2.74	%		1.84	%		2.36	%

Approximately $17.0 million of the federal agency and corporate obligations was reflected in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 as the original maturities at the time of purchase for these investments was 90 days or less.

At June 30, 2009, we held approximately $42.0 million of municipal bond investments, classified as long-term assets, with an auction reset feature (“auction rate securities”) whose underlying assets are student loans which are substantially backed by the federal government. Since February 2008, these auctions have failed and therefore continue to be illiquid and we will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. As a result, our ability to liquidate our investment and fully recover the carrying value of our investment in the near term may be limited or not exist. If the issuers are unable to successfully close future auctions and their credit ratings deteriorate, we may in the future be required to record additional losses on these investments.

In November 2008, we accepted an offer (the “Right”) from UBS AG (“UBS”), one of our investment advisors, entitling us to sell at par value auction-rate securities originally purchased from UBS (“UBS ARS”) at anytime during a two-year period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012. If UBS has insufficient funding to buy back the UBS ARS and the auction process continues to fail, then we may incur further losses on the carrying value of the UBS ARS.

However, we believe that, based on our total cash and investments position and our expected operating cash flows, we are able to hold these securities until there is a recovery in the auctions market, which may be at final maturity. As a result, we do not anticipate that the current illiquidity of these auction rate securities will have a material effect on our cash requirement or working capital.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE. On a global level, we face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This exposure may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. To date, the effect of changes in currency exchange rates has not had a significant impact on our financial position or our results of operations. Accordingly, we have not entered into any hedging agreements. However, we are prepared to hedge against fluctuations that the Euro, the Pound, or other foreign currencies, will have on foreign exchange exposure if this exposure becomes material. As of June 30, 2009, the total assets related to non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies that are subject to foreign currency exchange risk were approximately $62.2 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the 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 the desired control objectives and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
