FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract]	'
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
	3.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	When determining fair value, the Company uses a three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  Whenever possible, the Company uses observable market data. The Company relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available.  Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Money market mutual funds are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices and are therefore included in Level 1.  The asset or liability related to the interest rate swap is recorded at fair value based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and is therefore included in Level 2.
	The following table sets forth the financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013:
			Fair value measurement at reporting date using
			Quoted Prices in			Significant Other				Significant Unobservable Inputs
			Active Markets for			Observable Inputs				(Level 3)
			Identical Assets			(Level 2)
			(Level 1)

	Money market mutual funds as of January 31, 2013		$	44,871		$	—			$	—
	Asset related to interest rate swap as of October 31, 2013		$	—		$	165			$	—
	Liability related to interest rate swap as of January 31, 2013		$	—		$	(384	)		$	—
	Money market mutual funds are classified as part of “Cash and equivalents” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the amount of cash and equivalents included cash deposited with commercial banks of $16.5 million and $20.1 million as of October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively.
	The Company’s line of credit and note payable both bear a variable market interest rate commensurate with the Company’s credit standing. Therefore, the carrying amounts outstanding under the line of credit and note payable reasonably approximate fair value based on Level 2 inputs.
	There have been no transfers between fair value measurements levels during the nine months ended October 31, 2013.
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company entered into an interest rate swap in May 2012 to mitigate its exposure to the variability of one month LIBOR for its floating rate debt described in Note 7 “Debt” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is reflected as an asset or liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the change in fair value is reported in “Other (income) expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based upon forward interest rates at the balance sheet date.
	The fair values of the derivative instrument at October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		Asset/(Liability) Derivative
			Fair Value
		Balance Sheet	October 31,			January 31,
		Location	2013			2013
	Derivative instrument:
	Interest rate swap	Other assets, net (Other liabilities)		$	165		$	(384	)
	Total			$	165		$	(384	)
	The change in fair value of the interest rate swap recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 was $0.5 million.

	4.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
	CEBOS
	On December 28, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of CEBOS, Ltd. ("CEBOS"), a provider of quality management and regulatory compliance software solutions, in a nontaxable transaction. CEBOS was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Michigan, USA. The Company completed the acquisition for the purpose of expanding its product offerings and driving revenue growth. The purchase price consisted of $3.5 million in cash and two future payments of $750,000 each, due April 2014 and April 2015, respectively. Each future payment consists of $250,000 guaranteed and $500,000 contingent upon achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones. The contingent liability was estimated by assessing the probability of achieving each milestone and discounting the amount of each potential payment based on expected timing of the payment. The fair value of the liability-classified contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period with any changes in the fair value recorded as income or expense. There were no changes to the fair value as of October 31, 2013. The potential undiscounted amount of all future cash payments that the Company could be required to make for contingent consideration is between $0.5 million and $1.5 million as of October 31, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
	Tangible assets, including cash acquired of $0.4 million	$	1,423
	Goodwill		2,456
	Other intangible assets		3,450
	Total assets acquired		7,329
	Liabilities assumed		(1,233	)
	Deferred tax liability		(1,209	)
	Net assets acquired	$	4,887
	The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the expected synergistic benefits of being able to leverage CEBOS’s software with the Company’s existing software to provide an integrated suite to the customer bases of both the Company and CEBOS. The acquired goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
	Identified intangible assets will be amortized to cost of license fees and operating expense based upon the nature of the asset ratably over the estimated useful life, as detailed in the table below (in thousands, except year amounts):
		Estimated			Fair		Estimated		Statement of income
		useful life			value		annual		classification
		(years)					amortization
	Software technology		5-Feb		$	1,750	$	320-395	Cost of license fees
	Customer relationships		5			1,500		300	Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions
	Trade name		5			200		40	Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions
					$	3,450
	The Company has evaluated and continues to reevaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to CEBOS that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company has preliminarily determined that certain of these pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date and, accordingly, has recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as a part of the purchase price allocation. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and are inherently uncertain. The purchase price allocation process requires the Company to use significant estimates and assumptions as of the business combination date, including the estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired. The Company continues to gather information and evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed. If the Company makes changes to the amounts recorded or identifies additional pre-acquisition contingencies during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts recorded will be included in the purchase price allocation. There were no changes to the purchase price allocation as of October 31, 2013.
	DynaSys
	On June 6, 2012, the Company acquired France-based DynaSys S.A. ("DynaSys"), a provider of demand and supply chain planning software solutions, for $7.5 million.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
	Tangible assets, including cash acquired of $2.8 million	$	4,250
	Goodwill		2,231
	Software technology		1,800
	Customer relationships		1,400
	Trade name		300
	Total assets acquired		9,981
	Liabilities assumed		(2,032	)
	Deferred tax liability		(450	)
	Net assets acquired	$	7,499
	The results of operations of DynaSys and CEBOS are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisitions were not deemed material, thus pro forma supplemental information has not been provided.

	Capitalized software costs, net	$	3,475		$	4,180
	___________________________________
	(1)  Capitalized software development costs include the impact of foreign currency translation.
	Acquired software technology costs relate to technology purchased as a result of the Company’s fiscal 2013 acquisitions of DynaSys and CEBOS, as described in Note 4 “Business Combinations” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the acquired software technology, the Company has capitalized costs related to translations and localizations of QAD Enterprise Applications.
	It is the Company’s policy to write off capitalized software development costs once fully amortized. Accordingly, during the first nine months of fiscal 2014, $0.5 million of costs and accumulated amortization were removed from the balance sheet. Amortization of capitalized software costs was $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012, amortization of capitalized software costs was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs is included in “Cost of license fees” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
	The following table summarizes the estimated amortization expense relating to the Company’s capitalized software costs as of October 31, 2013:

	The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment review during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The analysis compared the Company’s market capitalization to its net assets as of the test date, November 30, 2012. As the market capitalization significantly exceeded the Company’s net assets, there was no indication of goodwill impairment for fiscal 2013. The Company monitors the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. No adverse events occurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2013, that would cause the Company to test goodwill for impairment.

	Effective May 30, 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the “2012 Mortgage”) with Rabobank, N.A., to refinance a pre-existing mortgage. The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. One month LIBOR was 0.17% at October 31, 2013. The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by the Company’s headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount of $16.1 million and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of October 31, 2013 was $15.6 million.
	Credit Facility
	The Company has an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs and matures on July 15, 2014. The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 0.75%.
	The Facility provides that the Company maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. At October 31, 2013, the effective borrowing rate would have been 0.92%.
	As of October 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Facility and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Company expects to renew this facility prior to its expiration in July 2014, under competitive terms based on existing market conditions.

	9.  INCOME TAXES
	The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million and $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate increased to 40% during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 32% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in overall tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 is primarily due to a significant equity compensation shortfall. A shortfall is a result of stock-based compensation expense recorded in the financial statements being greater than the tax deduction generated by the exercise of SARs and the vesting of RSUs.
	The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million and $2.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate increased to 50% from 37% for the same period in the prior year, due to the decline in income during fiscal 2014 and the large equity compensation shortfall discussed above.
	The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.6 million at October 31, 2013. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. This liability is classified as long-term unless the liability is expected to conclude within twelve months of the reporting date. In the next twelve months, due to potential settlements with domestic tax authorities related to tax credits, an estimated $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized.
	The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of October 31, 2013, the Company has accrued approximately $0.2 million of interest and penalty expense relating to unrecognized tax benefits.
	The Company continues to benefit from operating in foreign locations, such as Ireland, due to the lower statutory income tax rate relative to the U.S. federal and state tax rate. This benefit is significantly reduced by withholding taxes and foreign base company sales and services income that is taxed both in the U.S. and in the foreign jurisdiction.
	The Company files U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax returns that are subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company is currently under audit in India for fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1999,  2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, in California for fiscal years ended 2004 and 2005, in South Africa for fiscal years ended 2008 and 2010 and  in Thailand for the fiscal year ended 2012.

			Nine Months Ended
			October 31,
			2013			2012

	Volatility (3)			53	%		61	%
	Dividend rate (4)			2.42	%		2.25	%
	_____________________________________
	-1	The expected life of SARs granted under the stock-based compensation plans is based on historical vested stock option and SAR exercise and post-vest forfeiture patterns and includes an estimate of the expected term for stock options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding.
	-2	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of SARs in effect at the time of grant.
	-3	The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for a period equivalent to the expected life of the SARs, which it believes is representative of the expected volatility over the expected life of the SARs.
	-4	The Company expects to continue paying quarterly dividends at the same rate as the three months ended October 31, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the activity for outstanding stock options and SARs for the nine months ended October 31, 2013:
			Stock Options/			Weighted			Weighted Average		Aggregate

	___________________________________
	-1	The expected-to-vest SARs are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding SARs.
	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock based on the last trading day as of October 31, 2013, and the exercise price for in-the-money stock options and SARs) that would have been received by the holders if all stock options and SARs had been exercised on October 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of stock options and SARs exercised in the nine months ended October 31, 2013 was $931,000.
	The number of SARs exercised includes shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.  During the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company withheld 13,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $167,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, the Company withheld 25,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $318,000.
	At October 31, 2013, there was approximately $5.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SARs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.
	RSU Information
	The estimated fair value of RSUs was calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends foregone during the vesting period.
	The following table summarizes the activity for RSUs for the nine months ended October 31, 2013:
			RSUs (in thousands)			Weighted

	____________________________________
	-1	The number of RSUs vested includes shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.
	The Company withholds, at the employee’s election, a portion of the vested shares as consideration for the Company’s payment of applicable employee income taxes. During the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company withheld 10,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $138,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, the Company withheld 46,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $576,000.

	Indemnifications
	The Company sells software licenses and services to its customers under written agreements. Each agreement contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event the Company’s software is found to infringe upon certain intellectual property rights of a third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects.
	The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to the indemnification provisions of the agreements. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the agreements, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions.
	Legal Actions
	The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

[1]	The expected life of SARs granted under the stock-based compensation plans is based on historical vested stock option and SAR exercise and post-vest forfeiture patterns and includes an estimate of the expected term for stock options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding.
[2]	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of SARs in effect at the time of grant.
[3]	The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Companybs common stock for a period equivalent to the expected life of the SARs, which it believes is representative of the expected volatility over the expected life of the SARs.
[4]	The Company expects to continue paying quarterly dividends at the same rate as the three months ended October 31, 2013.
[5]	The expected-to-vest SARs are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding SARs.
[6]	The number of RSUs vested includes shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.
