Business Highlights

New Hosting and License Bookings¹

• New hosting and license bookings for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 were $1.9 million, an increase of 18% from the comparable year-ago quarter. Of the total new hosting and license bookings in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, 31% were from new hosting bookings and 69% were from new license bookings, compared to 55% from new hosting bookings and 45% from new license bookings in the comparable year-ago quarter. On a constant currency basis, using the exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2009, bookings for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 would have been up approximately 20%, rather than up 18%, when compared to the comparable year-ago quarter.

• New hosting and license bookings for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $10.3 million, a decrease of 4% from the same period last year. Of the total new hosting and license bookings in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, 37% were from new hosting bookings and 63% were from new license bookings, compared to 30% from new hosting bookings and 70% from new license bookings in the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, using the exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2009, bookings for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 would have been up approximately 6%, rather than down 4%, when compared to the comparable year-ago quarter.

¹ We define New Hosting and License Bookings as new contractual commitments (excluding renewals) received by the company for the purchase of product licenses and hosting services.Such contracts are not cancelable for convenience but may be subject to termination by our customers for cause or breach of contract by us. Furthermore, because we offer a hybrid delivery model, the mix of new license and hosting business in a quarter could also have an impact on our revenue in a particular quarter. Due to effects that these trends have on our short-term revenue and profitability, we believe that it is useful to disclose New Hosting and License Bookings detail in this and future financial releases. We use this metric internally to focus management on the productivity of the sales team and period-to-period changes in our core business. Therefore, we believe that this information is meaningful and helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of our core operations.
