NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Quest Software, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1987 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2009. We are a leading developer and vendor of application, database, Windows and virtualization management software products. We also provide consulting, training, and support services to our customers. References to “Quest,” “Quest Software,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Quest Software, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and the “Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Quest’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”). The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.
Impact of Change in Statement of Cash Flows Presentation to Prior Periods
We maintain positions in certain foreign currencies which may at times create unrealized gains or losses. Unrealized gains/losses should be presented as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. This change impacts our cash flow presentation and does not impact earnings or cash balances. Management has concluded that this change of presentation is not material to any periods affected. The following represents the details of the impact to previously reported statement of cash flows to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to its accounting guidance on fair value measurement. The amendments provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments change certain fair value measurement principles and enhance the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this guidance.

QUEST SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)
In June 2011, FASB issued amendments to its accounting guidance on comprehensive income. The amendments require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this guidance.
In September 2011, FASB issued amendments to its accounting guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The amendments allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. This permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this guidance.
NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS
2011 Acquisitions
BakBone Software Incorporated – In January 2011, we acquired 100% of the voting equity interest of BakBone Software Incorporated (“BakBone”), a publicly-held provider of data protection software, for cash consideration of approximately $56 million. BakBone provides us with additional technologies and products to provide data protection solutions across heterogeneous physical, virtual and application-level environments.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and the purchase price was allocated primarily to goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results of operations of BakBone are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Our preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets and liabilities based upon fair value determinations was as follows (in thousands):
Current assets | $ | 12,479 | ||
Acquired technologies with a weighted average useful life of 5.2 years | 24,500 | |||
In-process research and development | 400 | |||
Customer relationships with a useful life of 4.0 years | 11,300 | |||
Trademarks and trade names with a useful life of 10.0 years | 1,800 | |||
Goodwill | 20,730 | |||
Deferred income tax assets – non-current | 7,832 | |||
Other assets | 2,419 | |||
Current liabilities | (6,328 | ) | ||
Deferred revenue – current | (9,383 | ) | ||
Deferred revenue – non-current | (9,491 | ) | ||
Other long-term liabilities | (278 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Total purchase price | $ | 55,980 | ||
|
|
The preliminary allocation of purchase price for BakBone was based upon valuation information and estimates and assumptions available at the time of filing. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized and are subject to change within the measurement period relate to the completion of our income taxes review and the resulting impact on goodwill.
The intangible assets will be amortized over the pattern in which the expected economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized, which in general is correlated with the cash flows generated from such assets. We acquired an in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) project and the value assigned to the IPR&D was determined utilizing the income approach by determining cash flow projections relating to the project. We applied a discount rate of 28% to derive the value of the IPR&D project. The IPR&D project will be assessed for impairment until completed. Upon completion, the project will be amortized over its estimated useful life, as described above. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is reported within our Licenses, Maintenance Services and Professional Services segments of our business, and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill allocation of 45% to Licenses, 52% to Maintenance Services and 3% to Professional Services is based on both historical and projected relative contribution from Licenses, Maintenance Services and Professional Services revenues. Goodwill results from expected synergies from the transaction, including complementary products that will enhance our overall product portfolio, and opportunities within new markets, which we believe will result in incremental revenue and profitability.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)
Other Acquisitions – We completed three other acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. The aggregate purchase price for these transactions was approximately $40 million. The allocation of purchase price was primarily to goodwill and other intangible assets for approximately $20 million and $21 million, respectively. Actual results of operations of these acquisitions are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective dates of the acquisitions.
The pro forma effects of acquisitions in 2011 individually, or in the aggregate, would not have been material to our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and therefore are not presented.
2010 Acquisitions
Völcker Informatik AG – In July 2010, we acquired 100% voting equity interest of Germany-based Völcker Informatik AG (“Völcker”), a privately held identity management solutions provider, for cash consideration of approximately $20.2 million. The acquisition further extends the Quest® One Identity Solution product portfolio. In connection with the acquisition, Quest also agreed to certain post-closing payments with a maximum potential payout of approximately $5.0 million paid over three years, of which $2.5 million relates to an earn-out contingent upon achieving certain sales targets and the remainder to retention bonuses tied to continued employment. The estimated fair value of the earn-out contingency of $2.0 million has been recorded as an accrual, making the total purchase price approximately $22.2 million.
The earn-out contingency requires payments of up to $2.5 million that will be due and payable if certain levels of revenues for Völcker products are met during the three-year period subsequent to the close of the acquisition. The fair value of the earn-out contingency was determined using the income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. A key assumption is a discount rate consistent with our estimated pre-tax cost of debt. The expected outcomes were recorded at net present value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the earn-out contingency will be recorded in earnings.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and the purchase price was allocated primarily to goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results of operations of Völcker are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Our final allocation of the purchase price to assets and liabilities based upon fair value determinations was as follows (in thousands).
Current assets | $ | 2,823 | ||
Acquired technologies with a useful life of 4.5 years | 5,416 | |||
Customer relationships with a useful life of 4.5 years | 3,401 | |||
Goodwill | 13,930 | |||
Other assets | 490 | |||
Current liabilities | (1,246 | ) | ||
Deferred income tax liabilities – non-current | (2,645 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Total purchase price | $ | 22,169 | ||
|
|
The intangible assets will be amortized over the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized, which in general reflects the cash flows generated from such assets. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is reported within our Licenses, Maintenance Services and Professional Services segments of our business, and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill allocation of 50% to Licenses, 36% to Maintenance Services and 14% to Professional Services is based on both historical and projected relative contribution from licenses and services revenues. Goodwill results from expected synergies from the transaction, including complementary products that will enhance our overall product portfolio, and opportunities within new markets, which we believe will result in incremental revenue and profitability.

Surgient, Inc. – In August 2010, we acquired 100% voting equity interest of Texas-based Surgient, Inc. (“Surgient”), a privately held cloud management company for cash consideration of $35.0 million. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and the purchase price was allocated primarily to goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results of operations of Surgient are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As a result of finalizing our analysis of the Surgient pre-acquisition U.S. net operating loss carryovers and other deferred tax items, we recorded a purchase price adjustment that resulted in an increase of $6.1 million in goodwill and a decrease of $6.1 million in non-current deferred income tax assets. Management has concluded that this purchase price adjustment is not material and we did not revise comparative prior period information to reflect the effect of this adjustment. Our final allocation of the purchase price to assets and liabilities based upon fair value determinations was as follows (in thousands):
Current assets | $ | 789 | ||
Acquired technologies with a useful life of 3.5 years | 1,030 | |||
In-process research and development | 120 | |||
Customer relationships with a useful life of 3.5 years | 1,240 | |||
Goodwill | 26,011 | |||
Deferred income tax assets – non-current | 9,178 | |||
Other assets | 1,271 | |||
Deferred revenue – current | (2,943 | ) | ||
Other current liabilities | (1,124 | ) | ||
Deferred revenue – non-current | (572 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Total purchase price | $ | 35,000 | ||
|
|
The intangible assets will be amortized over the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized, which in general reflects the cash flows generated from such assets. We acquired one in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) project. The value assigned to the IPR&D project was determined utilizing the income approach by determining cash flow projections relating to the project. We applied a discount rate of 12% to determine the value of the IPR&D project. The IPR&D project will be assessed for impairment until completed. Upon completion, the project will be amortized over its estimated useful life over the pattern in which the economic benefit of the intangible asset is being utilized. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we identified certain intangible assets as impaired due to change of plans for certain products that were to include these technology assets. These intangible assets were held at their net book value of $1.6 million. The impairment losses were recorded in Cost of revenues and General and administrative expense for $0.8 million each.
The goodwill associated with this acquisition is reported within our Licenses, Maintenance Services and Professional Services segments of our business, and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill allocation of 55% to Licenses, 37% to Maintenance Services and 8% to Professional Services is based on both historical and projected relative contribution from licenses and services revenues. Goodwill results from expected synergies from the transaction, including complementary products that will enhance our overall product portfolio, and opportunities within new markets, which we believe will result in incremental revenue and profitability.
The pro forma effects of all 2010 acquisitions individually, or in the aggregate, would not have been material to our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and therefore are not presented.
NOTE 4 — GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Our reportable operating segments are Licenses, Maintenance Services and Professional Services. The Licenses segment develops and markets licenses to use our software products. The Maintenance Services segment provides after-sale support for software products. The Professional Services segment provides consulting and fee-based training related to our software products.
Previously, we had two reportable operating segments, Licenses and Services. During the first quarter of 2011, we revised our reportable operating segments by separating our Services segment into our Professional Services segment and our Maintenance Services segment. We separated these two previously aggregated segments because the Professional Services component has experienced significant growth and has become more distinct and robust relative to all Services, and also has become more separately managed and analyzed. Previously reported segment data have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. Goodwill previously allocated to the Services segment has been reallocated between the Maintenance Services and Professional Services segments using a relative fair value approach.

NOTE 8 — COST METHOD INVESTMENTS
Our investments in early stage private companies are accounted for under the cost method given that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies. The fair value of our cost method investments is not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. We determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our cost method investments since these investments were made in privately-held companies that are not subject to the same disclosure regulations as U.S. public companies, and, as such, the basis for an estimated fair value is subject to the completeness, quality, timing and accuracy of data received from these private companies. Our cost method investments are carried at $44.6 million and $14.4 million as part of Other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
NOTE 9— LOANS PAYABLE
In February 2011, our line of credit agreement was amended and renewed for a subsequent five-year term (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC), as arranger, administrative agent and lender. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for cash borrowings and letters of credit under a secured revolving credit facility of up to a maximum of $100.0 million. Interest will accrue based on a floating rate based on, at the Company’s election, (i) LIBOR (subject to reserve requirements) or (ii) the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2% or (b) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The Amended Credit Agreement includes limitations on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make acquisitions and other investments, make certain restricted payments such as dividend payments, and dispose of assets. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, subject to certain exceptions. Fees associated with this amended line of credit were approximately $0.5 million and will be amortized over the life of the credit agreement as interest expense. As of September 30, 2011, we had a zero balance outstanding under this line of credit.
In August 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Mutual of Omaha Bank whereby we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $34 million. The loan is secured by our real property at our headquarters in Aliso Viejo, California. We have used the proceeds from the loan for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The loan matures in five years, during which time we will make equal monthly principal and interest payments at a 7.03% interest rate on a fixed rate, 25-year amortization schedule. Events of default include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy events. In the case of a continuing event of default, the lender may, among other things, accelerate the payment of any unpaid principal and interest amounts, increase the then-current interest rate by 5% and foreclose on the real estate collateral. As of September 30, 2011, we have a $32.9 million balance outstanding with $0.6 million recorded as current and $32.3 million recorded as long-term portion of loans payable.
We were in compliance with all debt-related covenants as of September 30, 2011.

NOTE 11 — INCOME TAX PROVISION
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the provision for income taxes decreased to $2.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively from $5.8 million and $22.2 million in the comparable periods in 2010. The effective income tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 12.0% and 24.8%, respectively, as compared to 16.9% and 26.5% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The change in the provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rate is primarily a result of the mix of pre-tax income between high and low tax jurisdictions, and other discrete items impacting the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Discrete items primarily include a decrease related to release of a valuation allowance against U.K. foreign deferred tax assets and decreases due to release of reserves from the expiration of the U.S. federal income tax statute for the fiscal year 2007 and closure of the Canada Revenue Agency income tax audit for the fiscal years 2006 through 2007, as recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
During the first quarter of 2011, we received examination notices from the Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board to audit income tax returns filed for calendar years 2008 through 2009, and 2007 through 2008, respectively.
NOTE 12 — NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other common stock equivalents, including stock options and restricted stock units, in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive.
The table below sets forth the reconciliation of the denominator of the net income per share calculation (in thousands):

NOTE 13 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In May 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program covering up to $200 million of our common stock. This program replaced the $150 million stock repurchase program previously authorized in February 2011. Any stock repurchases may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Rule 10b5-1 permits Quest to establish, while not in possession of material nonpublic information, prearranged plans to buy stock at a specific price in the future, regardless of any subsequent possession of material nonpublic information. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we repurchased 2.9 million shares at a weighted average price per share of $16.57 for a total cost of $48.7 million. At September 30, 2011, a total of $73.2 million remains available pursuant to our stock repurchase authorization.

NOTE 14 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We offer stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants under the Quest Software, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors as a means to secure and retain the services of our employees, directors, and consultants, to provide such eligible individuals an opportunity to benefit from increases in the value of our Common Stock through the grant of stock awards, and thereby align the long-term compensation and interests of those individuals with our stockholders.
The 2008 Plan provides for the discretionary grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of equity compensation (collectively, the “stock awards”). The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2008 Plan is 20.9 million as of September 30, 2011. The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan will be reduced by 1 share for each share of Common Stock issued under the 2008 Plan pursuant to a stock option and by 1.94 shares for each share of Common Stock issued under the 2008 Plan pursuant to a restricted stock award, restricted stock unit award, or other stock award. As of September 30, 2011, there were 3.7 million shares available for grant under the 2008 Plan.
Stock Option Awards
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The fair value of these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Quest’s stock. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues in effect at the time of option grant for equivalent remaining terms. We do not expect to pay any dividends and, therefore, we use an expected dividend yield of zero.
We used the following weighted-average assumptions for option awards granted during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:
Three Months Ended September 30 | Nine Months Ended September 30 | |||||||||||||||
2011 | 2010 (1) | 2011 | 2010 (1) | |||||||||||||

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $6.90 and $7.08, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $10.7 million and $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $13.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSU Awards”)
RSU awards have been granted to selected executives pursuant to our Executive Incentive Plan. We have also granted RSU awards to key employees pursuant to a Profit Sharing Plan. Our outstanding RSU awards vest over three years with vesting contingent upon continuous service and meeting certain company-wide performance goals, including sales, operating profit margin, and cash flow targets. We estimate the fair value of RSU awards using the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Additionally, a portion of each RSU award is settled in cash, only to the extent necessary to pay the minimum tax withholding or any government levies on the restricted stock unit.
A summary of our RSU awards activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is provided below:

As of September 30, 2011, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was $56.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.2 years and total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested RSU awards was $5.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.
NOTE 15 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy
Our Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy identifies target exposures such as balance sheet, cash flow and income statement risks, program objectives, approved financial instruments and counterparties, accounting and tax treatment, as well as oversight, reporting and controls. The functional currency of all our subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. Our exposure to foreign exchange risk originates both from the operating results of our foreign operations denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, as well as our net balances of monetary assets and liabilities within our foreign subsidiaries. These exposures have the potential to produce either gains or losses depending on the directional movement of the foreign currencies versus the U.S. Dollar and our operational profile in foreign subsidiaries. Certain balance sheet items are re-measured each period and the changes in value are recorded within Other income (expense), net.
We utilize a balance sheet hedging program with the stated objective of reducing volatility within Other income (expense), net. Under this program, we use derivatives in the form of foreign currency contracts to hedge certain balance sheet exposures. We do not designate these contracts as hedging instruments and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, these outstanding non-designated derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded in Other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated income statement. These derivative contracts typically have a one month term.
We have a cash flow hedging program primarily focused on reducing volatility in our forecasted research and development cash expenses and license revenues, some of which are denominated in non-U.S. Dollar currencies. Under this program, we use derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge certain forecasted transactions. These derivatives, with durations ranging from less than one month to nine months, are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, these outstanding designated derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in value that are highly effective are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, until the hedged item is recognized in the income statement. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recorded in Other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated income statement. There was no material ineffectiveness in our cash flow hedging program for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
We had the following notional amounts for our foreign currency contracts included in our consolidated balance sheets (in U.S. Dollars in thousands):

NOTE 16 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We perform fair value measurements in accordance with FASB’s guidance onFair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
• | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
• | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions when there is little or no market data. |
We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using the following valuation techniques:
(a) Market Approach – uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
(b) Income Approach – uses valuation techniques to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, using present value techniques.

NOTE 17 — CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk include accounts receivable. We believe that credit risks related to our accounts receivable are moderated by the diversity of our products, customers and geographic sales areas. We monitor extensions of credit and have not experienced significant credit losses in the past. We maintain an allowance both for bad debts and for sales returns and cancellations and such losses and returns have historically been within management’s expectations. The Company’s significant customers consist primarily of resellers. We have one reseller customer that accounted for 15.1% and 10.9% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This customer also accounted for 21.3% and 16.8% of our accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 18 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Patent Litigation. On August 27, 2010, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Utah against Centrify Corporation and Likewise Software alleging that Centrify’s DirectControl software and Likewise’s Enterprise software infringe Quest’s United States Patent No. 7,617,501 (the “‘501 Patent”). Our complaint seeks money damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and the entry of permanent injunctions against each defendant. A trial date in the ‘501 Patent litigation has been set for April 9, 2012.
On August 30, 2010, Centrify filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Quest alleging that our Authentication Services software infringes Centrify’s United States Patent No. 7,591,005 (the “‘005 Patent”). Centrify’s complaint seeks an unspecified amount of money damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and a permanent injunction. On October 21, 2010, we filed a motion to dismiss Centrify’s complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. On November 15, 2010, Centrify filed an amended complaint amending its allegations that our Authentication Services software infringes Centrify’s ‘005 Patent. A trial date in the ‘005 Patent litigation has been set for September 24, 2012. We believe the claims asserted against Quest by Centrify are without merit and we intend to defend vigorously against Centrify’s infringement claims.
On August 31, 2010, we filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office alleging that Centrify’s ‘005 Patent is invalid and requesting the United States Patent and Trademark Office to commence aninter partesreexamination of the patentability of Centrify’s ‘005 Patent. On November 15, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted our petition forinter partesreexamination of the patentability of Centrify’s ‘005 Patent and issued a first office action rejecting all claims of Centrify’s ‘005 Patent. On January 18, 2011, Centrify filed a response to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s first office action. On October 19, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued an Action Closing Prosecution, rejecting all claims of Centrify’s ‘005 Patent. To date, Centrify has not filed a response to the Action Closing Prosecution. On September 30, 2010, Centrify filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office alleging that our ‘501 Patent is invalid and requesting the United States Patent and Trademark Office to commence aninter partesreexamination of the patentability of our ‘501 Patent. On November 30, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted Centrify’s petition forinter partesreexamination of the patentability of our ‘501 Patent. On January 21, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a first office action rejecting all claims of our ‘501 Patent. Our response to the United States Patent and Trademark Office was filed on March 21, 2011. On October 20, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued an Action Closing Prosecution, rejecting all claims of our ‘501 patent. To date, we have not filed a response to the Action Closing Prosecution. We believe that our ‘501 patent is valid and enforceable and intend to vigorously defend the patentability of the ‘501 Patent.
On May 2, 2011, Quest and Likewise agreed to the terms of a Settlement Agreement under which Quest agreed to dismiss the lawsuit against Likewise in exchange for a permanent injunction preventing Likewise (and its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns) from making, using, selling, offering to sell, importing, exporting, or supporting products or services that constitute technology covered by Quest’s ‘501 patent or that utilize or embody the method covered by Quest’s ‘501 patent. On May 23, 2011, the Utah Court entered the mutually agreed upon permanent injunction against Likewise, ending the case against Likewise.
General. The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The foregoing discussion includes material developments that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 or thereafter in our material legal proceedings.
In the normal course of our business, we enter into certain types of agreements that require us to indemnify or guarantee the obligations of other parties. These commitments include (i) intellectual property indemnities to licensees of our software products, (ii) indemnities to certain lessors under office space leases for certain claims arising from our use or occupancy of the related premises, or for the obligations of our subsidiaries under leasing arrangements, (iii) indemnities to customers, vendors and service providers for claims based on negligence or willful misconduct of our employees and agents, (iv) indemnities to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, and (v) letters of credit and similar obligations as a form of credit support for our international subsidiaries and certain resellers. The terms and duration of these commitments varies and, in some cases, may be indefinite, and certain of these commitments do not limit the maximum amount of future payments we could become obligated to make there under; accordingly, our actual aggregate maximum exposure related to these types of commitments cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not been obligated to make significant payments for obligations of this nature, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations in our financial statements included in this report.

QUEST SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)
NOTE 19 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2011, we acquired 60% voting equity interest of Smarsh, Inc., a privately-held provider of secure and reliable email archiving solutions for message compliance and records retention, proactive litigation readiness, and mail server data management, for an aggregate amount of approximately $56 million. This acquisition was funded through our Wells Fargo line of credit. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date and limitations on access to Smarsh, Inc. information prior to the acquisition date, the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed at this time. As a result, we are unable to provide acquisition date amounts by major classes of assets and liabilities resulting from the transaction. We will include this information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We currently expect this acquisition to be accounted for as a business combination and the purchase price is currently expected to be allocated primarily to goodwill, other intangible assets and non-controlling interest. Management considers the effect of this transaction to be immaterial to our consolidated results.
Also, we obtained a right to acquire half of the remaining equity interests in Smarsh, Inc. for a purchase price to be determined by a formula but that cannot exceed $26 million, and agreed to a put option under which we may be required, in certain circumstances, to acquire half of the remaining equity interests in this entity for consideration to be determined by a formula but that cannot exceed $22 million. Furthermore, if we purchase half of the remaining equity interest in the entity, we have a right to acquire the remaining equity interest in the entity for a purchase price to be determined by mutual agreement or by use of a third party valuation firm.

Our Company and Business Model
Quest Software, Inc., together with our subsidiary ScriptLogic, delivers simple-to-use IT management software that saves time and money across physical, virtual environments. In each of our six solution areas – Administration and Automation, Data Protection, Development and Optimization, Identity and Access Management, Migration and Consolidation, and Performance Monitoring – we concentrate on developing practical, innovative solutions to make IT tasks easier and less costly for our customers, who number more than 100,000 around the world. Our products are designed to simplify even the most complex IT tasks.
Quarterly Update
As discussed in more detail throughout our MD&A, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, we delivered the following financial performance:
• | Total revenues increased by $27.4 million, or 14.2%, to $220.4 million. |
• | Total expenses increased by $30.0 million, or 18.7%, to $190.5 million. |
• | Income from operations decreased by $2.6 million, or 8.2%, to $29.9 million. |

• | Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.06, or 19.4%, to $0.25. |
The comparison of our operating results in the third quarter of 2011 against the same period in 2010 is impacted by our acquisitions. We acquired BakBone in the first quarter of 2011 to complement our data protection portfolio, particularly in the areas of physical server backup and recovery. The BakBone acquisition gives us additional technologies to provide data protection solutions across heterogeneous physical, virtual and application-level environments, enhancing our competitive position in the data protection market. In addition, we have acquired three other private companies for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In our discussion of changes in our results of operations, we quantify the contribution of these 2011 acquisitions.
Our third quarter of 2011 total revenues increased by 14.2% compared to the same period in 2010. Our Americas sales region, which includes United States, Canada and Latin America, contributed 61.9% of total revenues, and the rest of the world, comprised of our Asia Pacific (“APAC”) sales region and our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) sales region, contributed 38.1% of total revenues, as compared to 69.1% and 30.9%, respectively, in the same period last year. Our EMEA and APAC sales regions performed well during this quarter. Total revenues from our Americas sales region were comparable to the same period in 2010.
The increase in our total revenues was due to increased sales of our Windows Migration and Identity and Access Management (“IDAM”) products and related services across all sales regions. The strength in our Windows Migration products was due to our customers’ migration to Exchange Server 2010 and Sharepoint 2010. The continued need for IT system access controls to comply with existing and new regulations and the growing need to automate and control end-user access to IT resources are driving our IDAM growth. Our acquisitions contributed $11.8 million, or 43.2%, of the overall increase in total revenues compared to the same period in 2010.
Total revenues were positively impacted by the weak U.S. Dollar relative to certain non-U.S. Dollar currencies. This resulted in higher U.S. dollar equivalent sales for several currencies. Since certain of our international sales are denominated in these non-U.S. Dollar currencies, the positive impact from foreign currency was $4.1 million when comparing 2011 rates to 2010.
Total expenses increased compared to the same period in 2010. Our expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, which include compensation, benefits and payroll related taxes and are a function of our worldwide headcount. Our average full-time employee headcount for the third quarter of 2011 was 3,898 as compared to 3,366 for the third quarter of 2010. Our average full-time employee headcount in locations outside of the United States was 1,844 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 1,496 for the third quarter of 2010. The increase in our headcount compared to the third quarter of 2010 was primarily due to our acquisitions after the third quarter of 2010. These acquisitions contributed $15.1 million, or 50.2%, of the overall increase in total expenses relating to their operating costs.
Our total expenses were negatively impacted by the weak U.S. Dollar relative to certain non-U.S. Dollar currencies in the third quarter of 2011, which resulted in higher U.S. Dollar equivalents for several currencies. Since certain of our international expenses are denominated in these non-U.S. Dollar currencies, our total expenses in the third quarter of 2011 increased by approximately $7 million compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of the impact of foreign currency exchange rates when comparing 2011 rates to 2010.
Foreign Currency
While we are a U.S. Dollar functional company on a world-wide basis, we transact business and operate using multiple foreign currencies. As such, the value of our revenues, expenses, certain account balances and cash flows are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies against the value of the U.S. Dollar. For example, when the U.S. Dollar strengthens against several non-U.S. Dollar currencies, our foreign revenues and thus our total revenues can be negatively impacted. A stronger U.S. Dollar translates into lower expenses in those entities where we have operations and our personnel and occupancy expenses are denominated in non-U.S. Dollars, resulting in lower total expenses. Conversely, a weaker U.S. Dollar would have the opposite effects on total revenues and expenses. In certain geographic regions and within specific currencies, partial offsets between revenues and expenses or balance sheet positions may reduce this exposure. In other instances, we can manage our operations to reduce foreign currency exposure or utilize derivative instruments to manage this exposure. See Note 15 – Derivative Instruments of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Comparison of Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Previously, we had two reportable operating segments, Licenses and Services. During the first quarter of 2011, we revised our reportable operating segments by separating our Services segment into our Professional Services segment and our Maintenance Services segment. We separated these two previously aggregated segments because the Professional Services component has experienced significant growth and has become more distinct and robust relative to all Services, and also has become more separately managed and analyzed. Previously reported segment data have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are comprised of 39.9% of license revenues, 53.1% of maintenance services revenues and 7.0% of professional services revenues compared to 41.7% of license revenues, 52.2% of maintenance services revenues and 6.1% of professional services revenues in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenues are comprised of 38.0% of license revenues, 54.9% of maintenance services revenues and 7.1% of professional services revenues compared to 40.5% of license revenues, 53.6% of maintenance service revenues and 5.9% of professional service revenues in the same period in 2010.
Licenses Revenues—We generate revenues by licensing our software products, principally on a perpetual basis. In addition to perpetual software licenses, we sell time-based software licenses (or term licenses) wherein customers pay a single fee for the right to use the software and receive maintenance for a defined period of time. Our acquisitions contributed $4.6 million and $7.8 million of the overall increase in license revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Maintenance Services Revenues— Maintenance services revenues are derived from post-contract technical support services (“maintenance”). Maintenance revenues are generated from support and maintenance services relating to current year sales of new software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. The increase in maintenance services revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods last year was due to Windows Migration and IDAM related maintenance services across all sales regions. Our acquisitions contributed $7.2 million and $16.0 million of the overall increase in maintenance services revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Maintenance services revenues continue to contribute a larger percentage of our total revenues. This is primarily due to our growing installed base of customers and because maintenance contract growth exceeds that of license contracts from time to time. The core customer base is also further augmented from acquired companies. Thus, as our maintenance customer base grows, maintenance renewals have a larger influence on the maintenance revenue growth rate and the amount of new software license revenues has a diminishing effect. Therefore, the growth rate of total revenues does not necessarily correlate directly to the growth rate of new software license revenues in a given period. The primary determinant of changes in our maintenance revenue profile is the extent to which our customers renew their annual maintenance agreements, taking into account the number of products and licenses for which each customer renews, and the timing of the renewals by each such customer. If our maintenance renewals were to decline materially, our maintenance revenues, total revenues and cash flows would likely decline materially as well.

Professional Services Revenues— Professional services revenues are derived from consulting and training services. The increase in professional service revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods last year was due to related professional services for Windows Migration across all sales regions.

Cost of maintenance services as a percentage of maintenance services revenues was 9.1% and 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of maintenance services as a percentage of maintenance services revenues was 9.3% and 7.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of maintenance services increased primarily due to an increase of $2.2 million and $6.3 million in personnel related costs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. Average full-time employee headcount increased by 55 and 65 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods last year. Our acquisitions contributed $1.3 million and $3.5 million of the overall increase in cost of maintenance services for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Cost of Professional Services— Cost of professional services primarily consists of personnel, outside consultants, facilities and systems costs used in providing consulting and training services. Cost of professional services as a percentage of professional services revenues was 77.4% and 76.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of professional services as a percentage of professional services revenues was 80.0% and 75.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of professional services for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased due to an increase of $1.5 million in personnel related costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cost of professional services increased due to an increase of $4.8 million in personnel related costs and $3.9 million in general expenses. Average full-time employee headcount increased by 37 and 35 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010.
Amortization of Purchased Technology— Amortization of purchased technology includes amortization of the fair value of purchased technology associated with acquisitions. The increase for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods last year was due to acquisitions completed after the third quarter of 2010.

Our average full-time sales and marketing employee headcount for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 224 compared to the same period in 2010. Our acquisitions contributed $14.8 million, or 38.8%, of the overall increase in sales and marketing expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The impact from foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 comprised approximately $7 million of the overall increase in sales and marketing expenses when comparing 2011 rates to 2010.
Research and Development— Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit costs for software developers who develop new products, fix bugs and design upgrades to existing products and at times provide engineering support for maintenance services, software product managers, quality assurance and technical documentation personnel, and payments made to outside software development consultants in connection with our ongoing efforts to enhance our core technologies and develop additional products. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 19.5% and 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Research and development expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to an increase of approximately $5 million in personnel-related costs. Our average full time research and development employee headcount for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 148 compared to the same period in 2010. Our acquisitions contributed $3.0 million, or 62.1%, of the overall increase in research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The impact from foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2011 comprised approximately $2 million of the overall increase in research and development expenses when comparing 2011 rates to 2010.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 20.9% and 20.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Research and development expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to an increase of approximately $18 million in personnel-related costs. Our average full-time research and development employee headcount for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 1,292 compared to 1,131 in the same period in 2010. Our acquisitions contributed $7.8 million, or 44.3%, of the overall increase in research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The impact from foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 comprised approximately $3 million of the overall increase in research and development expenses when comparing 2011 rates to 2010.

General and Administrative— General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit costs for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, administrative and information services personnel, and professional fees for audit, tax and legal services. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 12.3% and 11.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to an increase of approximately $3 million in personnel-related costs and approximately $2 million in general expenses. Our acquisitions contributed $1.4 million, or 25.7%, of the overall increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 13.7% and 11.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 over the comparable period in 2010 was due primarily to an increase of approximately $11 million in personnel related costs and approximately $12 million in general expenses (primarily related to our Business Operations and Advanced Technology Center in Cork, Ireland and phase II of the implementation of our Oracle financial system upgrade). Our acquisitions contributed $4.9 million, or 21.5%, of the overall increase in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
Amortization of Other Purchased Intangible Assets— Amortization of other purchased intangible assets includes the amortization of customer lists, trademarks and trade names, non-compete agreements and maintenance contracts associated with acquisitions. The increase for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods last year was due to acquisitions completed after the third quarter of 2010.

Other (expense) income, net includes gains and losses from foreign exchange fluctuations, interest expense on our borrowings and gains or losses on other financial assets as well as a variety of other non-operating expenses. Our foreign currency gains or losses are predominantly attributable to re-measurement gains or losses relative to the U.S. Dollar on the re-measurement of net monetary assets, including accounts receivable and cash, which were primarily denominated in the Euro, and to a lesser extent, the British Pound and Canadian Dollar. The largest impact to other (expense) income, net this quarter was attributed to foreign currency losses of $7.3 million compared to a gain of $5.4 million in the comparable period of 2010. This was partially offset by forward foreign currency contracts gains of $2.2 million compared to a loss of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. Our forward foreign currency contracts gains (losses), net relate to the changes in fair value of our forward foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments.
The largest impact to other (expense) income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was attributed to a foreign currency loss of $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million in the comparable period of 2010. Interest expense was $2.6 million and $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Tax Provision
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the provision for income taxes decreased to $2.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively from $5.8 million and $22.2 million in the comparable periods in 2010. The effective income tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 12.0% and 24.8%, respectively, as compared to 16.9% and 26.5% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The change in the provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rate is primarily a result of the mix of pre-tax income between high and low tax jurisdictions, and other discrete items impacting the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Discrete items primarily include decrease related to release of a valuation allowance against U.K. foreign deferred tax assets and decreases due to release of reserves from the expiration of the U.S. federal income tax statute for the fiscal year 2007 and closure of the Canada Revenue Agency income tax audit for the fiscal years 2006 through 2007, as recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Our effective income tax rate is subject to change as a result of shifts of taxable income earned by entities in jurisdictions which have a range of differing income tax rates. The effective income tax rate is also subject to shifts of net operating losses that cannot be benefited between certain jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate is more sensitive to shifts of income between our Americas and EMEA regions and more specifically between our United States and Irish operating entities. This is primarily due to the disparity in the income tax rates between these jurisdictions. Accordingly, an increase or decrease in the ratio of income earned by our U.S. operating entities compared to the income before taxes earned by our non-U.S. operating entities, most notably our Irish operating entities, may cause a corresponding increase or decrease in our overall effective tax rate.
We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service, California Franchise Tax Board, German Tax Authorities, Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (UK), and the French tax authority. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we received notice from the Canadian Revenue Agency informing us they have closed the audit period with no proposed adjustments. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years. However, due to the risk that audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty and as we continue to evaluate such uncertainties in light of current facts and circumstances, our current estimate of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease for all open tax years. As of the date of this report, we do not anticipate that there will be any material change in the unrecognized tax benefits associated with these audits within the next twelve months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments were approximately $256.7 million and $492.3 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Of these amounts, $218.6 million and $282.6 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are domiciled in locations outside of the U.S. We do not plan the repatriation of cash balances from our foreign subsidiaries to fund our activities within the U. S. as this would result in the recognition and payment of U.S. income taxes.
We maintain positions in certain foreign currencies which may at times create unrealized gains or losses. Unrealized gains/losses should be presented as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. This change impacts our cash flow presentation and does not impact earnings or cash balances. Management has concluded that this change of presentation is not material to any periods affected. We have adjusted previously reported statement of cash flows to conform to the current year presentation (refer to Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact to prior periods).

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is primarily comprised of net income, adjusted for non-cash activities such as depreciation and amortization and compensation expenses associated with share-based payments. These non-cash adjustments represent charges reflected in net income and, therefore, to the extent that non-cash items increase or decrease our future operating results, there will be no corresponding impact on our cash flows. After excluding the effects of these non-cash charges, the primary changes in cash flows relating to operating activities resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The analyses of the changes in our operating assets and liabilities are as follows:
• | Accounts receivable, net decreased by $19.7 million to $160.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 resulting in a decrease in operating assets and reflecting a cash inflow of $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”), improved to 67 days at September 30, 2011 compared to 76 days at December 31, 2010. Our daily sales were flat at $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Collection of accounts receivable and related DSO could fluctuate in future periods due to the timing and amount of our revenues and their linearity and the effectiveness of our collection efforts. |
• | Accrued compensation decreased by $5.5 million to $49.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 resulting in a decrease in operating liabilities and reflecting a cash outflow of $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in accrued compensation was primarily due to payments of accrued commissions and bonuses during 2011. |
• | Deferred revenue increased to $457.6 million at September 30, 2011 from $424.4 million at December 31, 2010, resulting in an increase in operating liabilities and reflecting a cash inflow of $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in deferred revenue was due to an increase in time-based software licenses, growth of our maintenance services customer base and acquired deferred revenue balances from acquisitions. |
• | Total income taxes payable increased by $18.2 million to $31.5 million at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 resulting in an increase in operating liabilities and reflecting a cash inflow of $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash received for income tax refunds for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $10.7 million. |
Investing Activities
Cash outflows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included approximately $85 million paid for acquisitions. We acquired BakBone, a publicly-held provider of data protection software, in January 2011 for cash consideration, net of cash acquired, of approximately $53 million. BakBone gives us additional technologies to provide data protection solutions across heterogeneous physical, virtual and application-level environments. In addition, we acquired three other private companies in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 for total cash consideration, net of cash acquired, of approximately $32 million. We had $29.6 million paid in cost method investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We periodically make investments in companies that have developed or are in the process of developing software to monitor development of technology products. Also, we paid $8.8 million for purchases of investment securities, $1.6 million paid for intellectual property and $21.0 million in capital expenditures. In addition, we received $81.1 million in proceeds from the sale and maturities of our investment securities.
In April 2011, we entered into real estate lease and purchase agreements for facilities to house our Business Operations and Advanced Technology Center in Cork, Ireland. Under these agreements, we will temporarily lease office space during the construction of a building and land that we are purchasing. Total expected cost of the land and building is approximately $30 million. We anticipate moving into our new building during the fourth quarter of 2012.
In October 2011, we acquired 60% voting equity interest of Smarsh, Inc., a privately-held provider of secure and reliable email archiving solutions for message compliance and records retention, proactive litigation readiness, and mail server data management, for an aggregate amount of approximately $56 million. Refer to Note 19 – Subsequent Events of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
We expect that we will continue to purchase property and equipment needed in the normal course of our business. We plan to use excess cash generated from operations to invest in short and long-term investments consistent with past investment practices. Also, we plan to use cash generated from operations and/or proceeds from our investment securities to fund other strategic investment and acquisition opportunities that we continue to evaluate.

Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $252.5 million paid for repurchases of our common stock and net proceeds of $29.2 million from the issuance of our common stock due to exercises of stock options.
In February 2011, our Board of Directors increased the authorization under our stock repurchase program to an aggregate of up to $150 million of our common stock. In May 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program covering up to $200 million of our common stock. This program replaces the $150 million stock repurchase program previously authorized in February 2011. Any stock repurchases may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Rule 10b5-1 permits Quest to establish, while not in possession of material nonpublic information, prearranged plans to buy stock at a specific price in the future, regardless of any subsequent possession of material nonpublic information. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we repurchased 2.9 million shares at a weighted-average price per share of $16.57, for a total cost of $48.7 million pursuant to the authorization. At September 30, 2011, a total of $73.2 million remains available pursuant to our stock repurchase authorization.
In 2009, we entered into a two year revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC as the arranger, administrative agent and lender. On February 17, 2011, this line of credit agreement was amended and renewed for a subsequent five-year term with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC), as arranger, administrative agent and lender (for additional information on our loans payable, please refer to Note 9 – Loans Payable of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We were in compliance with all debt-related covenants at September 30, 2011. In October 2011, we used approximately $56 million of this line of credit to fund our acquisition of a 60% voting equity interest in Smarsh, Inc. Refer to Note 19 – Subsequent Events of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
As we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions or investments, potential future stock repurchases or other general corporate expenditures which may be in excess of current cash available within certain operating entities, we plan to continue to evaluate potential debt financings when and if reasonable financing terms become available to us.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, investment balances, cash flows from operations and available debt financing will be sufficient to finance our operational cash needs through at least the next 12 months. Our ability to generate cash from operations is subject to substantial risks described under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. One of these risks is that our future business does not stay at a level that is similar to, or better than, our recent past. In that event, we may be unable to generate or sustain positive cash flow from operating activities. We would then be required to use existing cash, cash equivalents, investment balances and debt financing to support our working capital and other cash requirements. Also, acquisitions are an important part of our business model. As such, significant amounts of cash could and will likely be used in the future for additional acquisitions or strategic investments. If additional funds are required to support our working capital requirements, acquisitions or other purposes, we may seek to raise funds through public or private equity or, as discussed above, debt financing or from other sources. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available at all or, if available, that we would be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an on-going basis, we make and evaluate estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, asset valuations (including accounts receivable, goodwill and intangible assets), share-based compensation, income taxes and functional currencies for purpose of consolidation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for making judgments about amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the carrying values of assets, and the recorded amounts of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. We have discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed our related disclosures. The critical accounting policies related to the estimates and judgments listed above are discussed further in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Risk
We are a U.S. Dollar functional company and transact business in a number of different foreign countries around the world. In most instances, revenues are collected and operating expenses are paid in the local currency of the country in which we are transacting. Accordingly, we are exposed to both transaction and translation risk relating to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Our exposure to foreign exchange risk originates both from our foreign operations net profits and losses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, as well as our net balances of monetary assets and liabilities in our foreign subsidiaries. These exposures have the potential to produce either gains or losses depending on the directional movement of the foreign currencies versus the U.S. Dollar and our operational profile in foreign subsidiaries. Our cumulative currency gains or losses in any given period may be lessened by the economic benefits of diversification and the correlative relationships of different currencies, but there can be no assurance that this pattern will continue to be true in future periods. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a positive effect of $4.1 million and $7.9 million on total revenues and a negative effect of $7.0 million and $13.8 million to total expenses related to foreign currency fluctuation when comparing 2011 rates to 2010. In addition, during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had foreign currency losses of $7.3 million and $2.5 million within Other (expense) income, net compared to foreign currency gains (losses) of $5.4 million and $(3.5) million in the comparable period in 2010.
The foreign currencies to which we currently have the most significant exposure are the Euro, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound, the Australian Dollar and the Russian Ruble. We enter into hedges in the form of foreign currency contracts to reduce the range of outcomes that foreign currency rate changes can have on non-functional currency denominated forecasted transactions and balance sheet positions, which include certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency contracts are carried at fair value and denominated in various currencies as listed in the tables below. The durations of these contracts range from less than one month to nine months. A description of our accounting for foreign currency contracts is included in Note 15 – Derivative Instruments of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The magnitude of success of our hedging activities depends upon the accuracy of our estimates of various balances and transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. To the extent our estimates are correct, gains and losses on our foreign currency contracts will be offset by corresponding losses and gains on the underlying transactions. In order to monitor the financial impact of our foreign currency hedges, we subject our hedges to a stress test. This test is intended to quantify the impact to our financial statements of an abnormal change in the foreign currency rates in which we do business. When subjected to a 10% and 20% adverse change, we estimate that the fair value of our contracts would decline by $6.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively.
We do not use forward foreign currency contracts for speculative or trading purposes. We enter into foreign currency contracts with reputable financial institutional counterparties whose financial health we monitor. To date, we have not experienced nonperformance by any of these counterparties and anticipate performance by all counterparties.

Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market interest rate risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We traditionally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge the market risks of our investments. We place our investments with high-quality issuers and money market funds and articulate allocation limits in our investment policy to any one issuer other than the United States government. Our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2011 consisted of money market funds, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and corporate bonds. Investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. We classify our investments as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Information about our investment portfolio is presented in the table below, which states the amortized book value and related weighted-average interest rates by year of maturity (in thousands):

Any stock repurchases may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Rule 10b5-1 permits Quest to establish, while not in possession of material nonpublic information, prearranged plans to buy stock at a specific price in the future, regardless of any subsequent possession of material nonpublic information. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. |
(2) | The price paid per share of common stock does not include the related transaction costs. |
