	Jul. 31, 2015
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	A. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at July 31, 2015, the results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. The results for the three months ended July 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 describes the significant accounting policies that we have used in preparing our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue/vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), bad debts, capitalized software costs, goodwill, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“American Software” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Revenue Recognition	B. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification. License . Maintenance . Services . Subscription and other recurring revenues include fees for access rights to software solutions that are offered under a subscription-based delivery model where the users have the right to take possession of the software. Under this model, the software applications are hosted by the Company or by a third party and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis over the Internet or via a dedicated line. The underlying arrangements typically include a single fee for the service that is billed monthly, quarterly or annually, and provides the customer with an option to take delivery of the software at any time during or after the subscription term. In addition, subscription and other recurring revenues include subscription-based software license revenues where the customer has taken physical possession of the software for a defined period of time. Subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term because the Company is unable to establish VSOE and separate the various elements, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. As of July 31, 2015, revenue recorded under this accounting treatment has not been significant. Indirect Channel Revenue . Deferred Revenue . Sales Taxes . Unbilled Accounts Receivable .

Declaration of Dividend Payable	C. Declaration of Dividend Payable On May 13, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of our Class A and Class B common stock. The cash dividend is payable on August 21, 2015 to Class A and Class B shareholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2015.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings Per Common Share	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Earnings Per Common Share	D. Earnings Per Common Share We have two classes of common stock, of which Class B Common Shares are convertible into Class A Common Shares at any time, on a one-for-one basis. Under our Articles of Incorporation, if we declare dividends, holders of Class A Common Shares shall receive a $0.05 dividend per share prior to the Class B Common Shares receiving any dividend and holders of Class A Common Shares shall receive a dividend at least equal to Class B Common Shares dividends on a per share basis. As a result, we have computed the earnings per share in accordance with Earnings Per Share within the Presentation Topic of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, which requires companies that have multiple classes of equity securities to use the “two-class” method in computing earnings per share. For our basic earnings per share calculation, we use the “two-class” method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to each class of common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. All undistributed earnings are allocated evenly between Class A and B Common Shares in the earnings per share calculation to the extent that earnings equal or exceed $0.05 per share. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares to Class A shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the calculation of basic earnings per share, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options issuable under our stock incentive plans. For our diluted earnings per share calculation for Class A shares, we use the “if-converted” method. This calculation assumes that all Class B Common Shares are converted into Class A Common Shares (if antidilutive) and, as a result, assumes there are no holders of Class B Common Shares to participate in undistributed earnings. For our diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares, we use the “two-class” method. This calculation does not assume that all Class B Common Shares are converted into Class A Common Shares. In addition, this method assumes the dilutive effect if Class A stock options were converted to Class A shares and the undistributed earnings are allocated evenly to both Class A and B shares including Class A shares issued pursuant to those converted stock options. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares into Class A shares. The following tables set forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands except for per share amounts): Basic earnings per common share: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Class A Class B Class A Class B Distributed earnings $ 0.10 $ 0.10 $ 0.10 $ 0.10 Undistributed earnings (0.01 ) (0.01 ) (0.05 ) (0.05 ) Total $ 0.09 $ 0.09 $ 0.05 $ 0.05 Distributed earnings $ 2,604 $ 259 $ 2,567 $ 259 Undistributed earnings (264 ) (27 ) (1,173 ) (119 ) Total $ 2,340 $ 232 $ 1,394 $ 140 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 26,027 2,587 25,646 2,587 Diluted EPS for Class A Common Shares Using the If-Converted Method Three Months Ended July 31, 2015 Undistributed Class A EPS* Per Basic $ 2,340 26,027 $ 0.09 Common Stock Equivalents — 268 — 2,340 26,295 0.09 Class B Conversion 232 2,587 — Diluted EPS for Class A $ 2,572 28,882 $ 0.09 Three Months Ended July 31, 2014 Undistributed Class A EPS* Per Basic $ 1,394 25,646 $ 0.05 Common Stock Equivalents — 373 — 1,394 26,019 0.05 Class B Conversion 140 2,587 — Diluted EPS for Class A $ 1,534 28,606 $ 0.05 Diluted EPS for Class B Common Shares Using the Two-Class Method Three Months Ended July 31, 2015 Undistributed Class B EPS* Per Basic $ 232 2,587 $ 0.09 Reallocation of undistributed earnings to Class A shares from Class B shares — — — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 232 2,587 $ 0.09 Three Months Ended July 31, 2014 Undistributed Class B EPS* Per Basic $ 140 2,587 $ 0.05 Reallocation of undistributed earnings to Class B shares from Class A shares 2 — — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 142 2,587 $ 0.05 * Amounts adjusted for rounding For the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, we excluded options to purchase 1,016,500 and 900,500 Class A Common Shares, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per Class A Common Shares. We excluded these option share amounts because the exercise prices of those options were greater than the average market price of the Class A Common Shares during the applicable period. As of July 31, 2015, we had a total of 3,011,169 options outstanding and, as of July 31, 2014, we had a total of 3,150,210 options outstanding.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Acquisitions	E. Acquisitions We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based upon management’s estimates of current fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimation process includes analyses based on income and market approaches. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill generated is due in part to the synergies that are not included in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill recorded in an acquisition is assigned to applicable reporting units based on expected revenues. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of current technology is recorded in cost of revenues-license and amortization of all other intangible assets is recorded in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other costs, are expensed in general and administrative expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Effective May 30, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with privately-held MID Retail, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“MRI”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MRI, a provider of retail allocation and merchandise planning solutions. This acquisition will expand and complement the products and services offered by Logility. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the capital stock for an effective purchase price of approximately $8,507,000 in cash plus a $678,000 working capital adjustment. Additional consideration is payable at the end of each 12-month period in the 24-month period following the Closing Date (such 24-month period being the “Earnout Period”) equal to 15% of the license fee revenues contracted for and recorded as revenue in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) by either MRI or the Company from the sale of MRI Software during such 12-month period, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 million over the Earnout Period. This additional consideration will be accounted for as post-combination services and, therefore, will be expensed as incurred. The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $282,000 during the year ended April 30, 2015. The operating results of MRI are not material for proforma disclosure and MRI is being integrated as a product line of Logility, Inc. We allocated $4,930,000 of the total purchase price to goodwill, which has been assigned to the Supply Chain Management segment and is deductible for income tax purposes. The following allocation of the total purchase price reflects the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of May 30, 2014 (in thousands): Useful Life Cash $ 1,277 Accounts receivable, net 546 Current assets 35 Property and equipment, net 32 Other assets 505 Goodwill 4,930 Non-compete 290 3 years Customer relationships 1,400 8 years Current technology 1,500 3 years Total Assets Acquired 10,515 Current liabilities (825 ) Long-term liabilities (505 ) Total liabilities assumed (1,330 ) Net assets acquired $ 9,185 Non-compete agreements, customer relationships and current technology are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the assets, including the period being reported. The fair value of deferred revenues in a business combination is considered to be an assumed liability (which must arise from a legal performance obligation) and, accordingly, is estimated based on the direct cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a normal profit margin, which approximates fair value. Also, in practice, the normal profit margin is limited to the profit margin on the costs to provide the product or service (that is, the fulfillment effort).

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Stock-Based Compensation	F. Stock-Based Compensation During the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, we granted options for 336,000 and 313,000 shares of common stock, respectively. We recorded stock option compensation cost of approximately $398,000 and $404,000 and related income tax benefits of approximately $146,000 and $135,000 during the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We record stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period directly to additional paid-in capital. We classify cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated by tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) as financing cash flows. During the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, we realized excess tax benefits of approximately $13,000 and $41,000, respectively. During the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, we issued 44,050 and 36,862 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 based on market value at the exercise dates was approximately $159,000 and $182,000, respectively. As of July 31, 2015, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards approximated $3.1 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.60 years.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	G. Fair Value of Financial Instruments We measure our investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. A number of factors affect market price observability, including the type of asset or liability and its characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. • Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. • Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The following is a general description of the valuation methodologies we use for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. Cash Equivalents Marketable Securities The following tables present our assets and liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we used to determine such fair value (in thousands): July 31, 2015 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Balance Cash equivalents $ 43,733 $ — $ — $ 43,733 Marketable securities 8,355 21,901 — 30,256 Total $ 52,088 $ 21,901 $ — $ 73,989 April 30, 2015 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Balance Cash equivalents $ 42,951 $ — $ — $ 42,951 Marketable securities 9,139 21,555 — 30,694 Total $ 52,090 $ 21,555 $ — $ 73,645 In addition to cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as trading securities, we also have an equity method investment valued at approximately $46,000 as of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, that is not recorded at fair value and, thus, is not included in the tables above.

Stock Repurchases	H. Stock Repurchases On August 19, 2002, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to an additional 2.0 million shares of our Class A common stock. We have made and will make these repurchases through open market purchases at prevailing market prices. The timing of any repurchase will depend upon market conditions, the market price of our common stock and management’s assessment of our liquidity and cash flow needs. Under this repurchase plan, through July 31, 2015, we have repurchased 1,033,344 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $6.0 million. As of July 31, 2015, under all repurchase plans previously authorized, including this most recent plan, we have repurchased a total of 4,568,297 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $25.4 million.

Industry Segments

Industry Segments	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Industry Segments	J. Industry Segments We provide our software solutions through three major business segments, which are further broken down into a total of four major product and service groups. The three business segments are (1) Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”), (2) Supply Chain Management (“SCM”), and (3) Information Technology (“IT”) Consulting. The ERP segment consists of (i) American Software ERP, which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce and traditional manufacturing solutions, and (ii) New Generation Computing (“NGC”), which provides industry-specific business software to both retailers and manufacturers in the apparel, sewn products and furniture industries. The SCM segment, which consists of Logility, a wholly-owned subsidiary, as well as its subsidiary, Demand Management, Inc. (“DMI”), provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the forecasting, inventory, production, supply, allocation, distribution and management of products between trading partners. The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm. We also provide support for our software products, such as software enhancements, documentation, updates, customer education, consulting, systems integration services, maintenance and support services. Our chief operating decision maker is the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). While the CEO is apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, we manage our business primarily on a segment basis, with the CEO evaluating performance based upon segment operating profit or loss that includes an allocation of common expenses, but excludes certain unallocated expenses. In the following table, we have broken down the intersegment transactions applicable to the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014: Three Months Ended 2015 2014 Revenues: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 3,525 $ 2,658 Collaborative Supply Chain Management 18,573 16,262 IT Consulting 6,760 5,937 $ 28,858 $ 24,857 Operating income (loss) before intersegment eliminations: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (962 ) $ (1,469 ) Collaborative Supply Chain Management 4,193 3,017 IT Consulting 589 615 $ 3,820 $ 2,163 Intersegment eliminations: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (729 ) $ (530 ) Collaborative Supply Chain Management 700 500 IT Consulting 29 30 $ — $ — Operating income (loss) after intersegment eliminations: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (1,691 ) $ (1,999 ) Collaborative Supply Chain Management 4,893 3,517 IT Consulting 618 645 $ 3,820 $ 2,163 Capital expenditures: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 8 $ 38 Collaborative Supply Chain Management 57 20 IT Consulting — — $ 65 $ 58 Capitalized Software: Enterprise Resource Planning $ — $ — Collaborative Supply Chain Management 817 178 IT Consulting — — $ 817 $ 178 Depreciation and amortization: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 150 $ 230 Collaborative Supply Chain Management 1,258 1,149 IT Consulting 3 3 $ 1,411 $ 1,382 Earnings (loss) before income taxes: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (578 ) $ (1,173 ) Collaborative Supply Chain Management 4,112 3,027 IT Consulting 589 615 $ 4,123 $ 2,469 Major Customer No one customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014.

Contingencies

Contingencies	K. Contingencies We more often than not indemnify our customers against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement associated with use of our products. We have historically not been required to make any payments under such indemnifications. However, we continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses under the indemnifications when those losses are estimable. In addition, we warrant to our customers that our products operate substantially in accordance with the software products’ specifications. Historically, we have incurred no costs related to software product warranties and we do not expect to incur such costs in the future, and as such we have made no accruals for software product warranty costs. Additionally, we are involved in various claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Basis of Presentation and Pri19

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2015
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at July 31, 2015, the results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. The results for the three months ended July 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 describes the significant accounting policies that we have used in preparing our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue/vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), bad debts, capitalized software costs, goodwill, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“American Software” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition	We recognize revenue in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification. License . Maintenance . Services . Subscription and other recurring revenues include fees for access rights to software solutions that are offered under a subscription-based delivery model where the users have the right to take possession of the software. Under this model, the software applications are hosted by the Company or by a third party and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis over the Internet or via a dedicated line. The underlying arrangements typically include a single fee for the service that is billed monthly, quarterly or annually, and provides the customer with an option to take delivery of the software at any time during or after the subscription term. In addition, subscription and other recurring revenues include subscription-based software license revenues where the customer has taken physical possession of the software for a defined period of time. Subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term because the Company is unable to establish VSOE and separate the various elements, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. As of July 31, 2015, revenue recorded under this accounting treatment has not been significant. Indirect Channel Revenue . Deferred Revenue . Sales Taxes . Unbilled Accounts Receivable .
Earnings Per Common Share	We have two classes of common stock, of which Class B Common Shares are convertible into Class A Common Shares at any time, on a one-for-one basis. Under our Articles of Incorporation, if we declare dividends, holders of Class A Common Shares shall receive a $0.05 dividend per share prior to the Class B Common Shares receiving any dividend and holders of Class A Common Shares shall receive a dividend at least equal to Class B Common Shares dividends on a per share basis. As a result, we have computed the earnings per share in accordance with Earnings Per Share within the Presentation Topic of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, which requires companies that have multiple classes of equity securities to use the “two-class” method in computing earnings per share. For our basic earnings per share calculation, we use the “two-class” method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to each class of common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. All undistributed earnings are allocated evenly between Class A and B Common Shares in the earnings per share calculation to the extent that earnings equal or exceed $0.05 per share. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares to Class A shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the calculation of basic earnings per share, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options issuable under our stock incentive plans. For our diluted earnings per share calculation for Class A shares, we use the “if-converted” method. This calculation assumes that all Class B Common Shares are converted into Class A Common Shares (if antidilutive) and, as a result, assumes there are no holders of Class B Common Shares to participate in undistributed earnings. For our diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares, we use the “two-class” method. This calculation does not assume that all Class B Common Shares are converted into Class A Common Shares. In addition, this method assumes the dilutive effect if Class A stock options were converted to Class A shares and the undistributed earnings are allocated evenly to both Class A and B shares including Class A shares issued pursuant to those converted stock options. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares into Class A shares.
