Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The areas that require significant judgment are as follows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from software license sales and related services, including maintenance and support, and consulting services. Additionally, the Company generates revenue from its migration solutions products. The Company licenses its products to end-user customers, independent software vendors (“ISVs”), international distributors and value-added resellers (“VARs”). The Company’s products are generally sold with a perpetual license. The Company’s contracts with ISVs, VARs and international distributors do not include special considerations such as rights of return, stock rotation, price protection or special acceptance. With the exception of its migration solutions, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition. For migration solutions, the Company recognizes revenue for software licenses sales in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1,Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contractsand Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) 45,Long-Term Construction Type Contracts. The Company exercises judgment in connection with the determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. The nature of each contractual arrangement determines how revenues and related costs are recognized.
For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, revenue is recognized when the software product or service has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fees are fixed and determinable, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, collectability is probable and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
The Company considers a signed non-cancelable license agreement, a customer purchase order, a customer purchase requisition, or a sales quotation signed by an authorized purchaser of the customer to be persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists such that revenue can be recognized.
For arrangements that require significant modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized based on contract accounting under the provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) 45, Long-Term Construction Type Contracts and Statement of Position (“SOP”) 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. For fixed price arrangements the Company uses the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition. Under the percentage-of-completion method, progress towards completion is measured by labor hours.
The Company’s customer contracts include multi-element arrangements that include a delivered element (a software license) and undelivered elements (such as maintenance and support and/or consulting). The value allocated to the undelivered elements is unbundled from the delivered element based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the maintenance and support and/or consulting, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract. VSOE of fair value is defined as: (i) the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or (ii) if the element has not yet been sold separately, the price for the element established by management having the relevant authority when it is probable that the price will not change before the introduction of the element into the marketplace. The Company then allocates the remaining balance to the delivered element (a software license) regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract using the residual method as the fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable.
We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of undelivered elements are known, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, and there are no customer-negotiated refund or return rights affecting the revenue recognized for delivered elements. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in bundled software and service arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements.
An assessment of the ability of the Company’s customers to pay is another consideration that affects revenue recognition. In some cases, the Company sells to undercapitalized customers. In those circumstances, revenue recognition is deferred until cash is received, the customer has established a history of making timely payments or the customer’s financial condition has improved. Furthermore, once revenue has been recognized, the Company evaluates the related accounts receivable balance at each period end for amounts that we believe may no longer be collectible. This evaluation is largely done based on a review of the financial condition via credit agencies and historical experience with the customer. Any deterioration in credit worthiness of a customer may impact the Company’s evaluation of accounts receivable in any given period.
19
Revenue from support and maintenance activities, which consist of fees for ongoing support and unspecified product updates, are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically one year, and the associated costs are expensed as incurred. Consulting service arrangements are performed on a “best efforts” basis and may be billed under time-and-materials or fixed price arrangements. Revenues and expenses relating to providing consulting services are generally recognized as the services are performed.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
As of April 30, 2009, we had approximately $17.1 million of deferred tax assets related principally to net operating loss carryforwards, reserves and other accruals, and foreign tax credits. The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations in the event of a change in ownership. A valuation allowance has been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets. The ability of the Company to ultimately realize its deferred tax assets will be contingent upon the Company achieving taxable income. There is no assurance that this will occur in amounts sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets. Should we determine that we would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Total Revenues
The Company generates revenue from software license sales and related services, including maintenance and support, and consulting services. We license our software through our direct sales force in the United States, Asia Pacific, Europe and through indirect channels comprised of distributors, ISVs, VARs, and other partners worldwide.
Total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $4.5 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This represents a decrease of 10% from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 revenues of $5.0 million. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of the impact of the world-wide deterioration in the economic environment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company saw its tools and database customers delay product purchases or reduce their buying patterns to multiple just-in-time small deals versus the larger deals we experienced in previous years. Additionally, on a year of year basis the euro declined against the dollar further reducing revenue on a comparative basis. Included in total revenues is $1.1 million of revenue resulting from the June 30, 2009 acquisition of AXS-One. Total software license revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $1.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This represents a decrease of 10% over the first quarter of fiscal 2009 revenues of $1.6 million. Total services revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009 were $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Total migration solutions revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $0.3 million compared to $.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, total revenues from the United States were 27% and 35% of total revenues, respectively. Total revenue from the United States in absolute dollars was $1.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and $1.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Total revenue from all other countries was $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and $3.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. On a percentage basis, revenue from other countries was 73% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 65% for fiscal 2009.
21
Cost of Revenues
Cost of Software Licenses.Cost of software licenses consists primarily of royalty payments and the amortization of purchased technology from third parties that is amortized ratably over the technology’s expected useful life. Cost of software licenses was $38,000 and $50,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. The decrease in cost of software licenses represents a decrease in software royalty payments.
Cost of Services.Cost of services consists primarily of employee, facilities and travel costs incurred in providing customer support under software maintenance contracts and consulting and services. Cost of services was $419,000 and $251,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. The increase is due primarily to the addition of AXS-One employees.
Cost of Migration Solutions.Cost of migration solutions consists primarily of both expenses associated with employees involved in migration projects and also expenses related to third party assistance. Cost of migration solutions was $137,000 and $160,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Product Development.Product development expenses consist primarily of employee and facilities costs incurred in the development and testing of new products and in the porting of new and existing products to additional hardware platforms and operating systems. Product development costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $1.4 million compared to $0.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in product development expenses in fiscal 2010 was primarily the result of expenses incurred related to our acquisition of CipherSoft in January 2009 and our acquisition of AXS-One in June 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative.Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, marketing programs, travel expenses, professional services, facilities expenses and bad debt expense. SG&A expenses were $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and $3.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The major components of SG&A for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were sales expenses of $2.2 million, marketing expenses of $0.2 million and general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the major components of SG&A were sales expenses of $1.7 million, marketing expenses of $0.2 million and general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million. The increase in SG&A expenses in fiscal 2010 was primarily the result of expenses incurred related to our acquisition of CipherSoft in January 2009 and our acquisition of AXS-One in June 2009.
Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and other income. Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009 was $59,000 and $47,000, respectively. Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred on notes payable resulting from a debt financing in conjunction with the November 2006 acquisition of Gupta Technologies LLC and the acquisition of CipherSoft Inc., plus the amortization of related debt issuance costs and the amortization of the discount on notes payable. Foreign exchange rate gains for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $77,000. Foreign exchange rate gains in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 were $9,000. Other income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009 was $60,000 and $20,000, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes.For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $8,000 in foreign withholding tax expense. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded $32,000 in federal and state income tax expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.0 million, compared to $6.1 million at April 30, 2009. The Company had net accounts receivable of $7.5 million as of July 31, 2009, and $4.5 million as of April 30, 2009.
As of July 31, 2009 the Company has various notes payable outstanding in the amount of $2.5 million of which $1.8 million is current. The notes payable all have an interest rate of 5%. The Company also has a $2.5 million revolver with an interest rate of prime plus 2.25% which has a maturity date of November 30, 2010. As of July 31, 2009 there is nothing outstanding on the revolver.
We believe the existing cash balance of $3.0 million as of July 31, 2009, along with forecasted operating cash flows and the revolver credit facility, will provide us with sufficient working capital for us to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months. Our operating plan assumes normal operations for the Company and the required debt service payments.
In fiscal 2010, we plan to increase the marketing of our Composer product lines and we also anticipate releasing new versions of some of our Rapid Application Development Products as well as our Database Management Products. Additionally, as a result of our purchase of AXS-One we expect to offer our integrated content archiving solutions through our distribution channels and accelerate direct and channel sales in fiscal 2010. The fiscal 2010 plan requires few additional strategic investments in sales, marketing or implementation services. We believe our fiscal 2010 plan will generate positive cash flow as a result of increased revenues for our Composer product lines and our integrated content archiving solutions.
Operating Cash Flow. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 cash used by operations was $3.1 million. This compares to cash flows provided by operations of $0.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Cash flows used by operations for the first three months of fiscal 2010 principally resulted from a net loss of $2.2 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $2.4 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $0.7 million, a decrease in accrued compensation and related expenses of $0.4 million, a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $0.1 million and a decrease in other long term liabilities of $0.2 million. Offsetting these amounts was an increase in deferred revenue of $2.1 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.3 million, amortization of intangible assets of $0.5 million and stock based compensation expense of $0.2 million.
Cash flows provided by operations for the first three months of fiscal 2009 principally resulted from $0.4 million in net income from continuing operations, a decrease of $1.5 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $0.1 million in accounts payable and increase of $0.1 million in other long term liabilities, $0.2 million in amortization of intangible assets and $0.1 million of stock based compensation expense. Offsetting these amounts was a decrease of $0.5 million in accrued compensation and related expenses, a decrease of $1.2 million in deferred revenue and an increase of $0.2 million in other accrued liabilities.
Investing Cash Flows. Cash provided in investing activities was $0.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2010 and was primarily the result of cash acquired through the acquisition of AXS-One.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2010 was $147,000. Cash used in financing activities was the result of $147,000 of principal payments on debt obligations. Net cash used in financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2009 was $2,000.

Volatility of Stock Price and General Risk Factors Affecting Quarterly Results
Unify’s common stock price has been and is likely to continue to be subject to significant volatility. A variety of factors could cause the price of the common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including: announcements of developments related to our business; fluctuations in the operating results and order levels of Unify or its competitors; general conditions in the computer industry or the worldwide economy; announcements of technological innovations; new products or product enhancements from us or our competitors; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; developments in patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights; and developments in our relationships with our customers, distributors and suppliers; legal proceedings brought against the Company or its officers; and significant changes in our senior management team. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for shares of equity securities of many high technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Unify’s stock began trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol UNFY on August 25, 2008. Previously the Company’s shares traded over-the-counter on the “bulletin board.” Even though the Company has moved to a larger exchange with the NASDAQ, we do not receive any analyst coverage, the Company’s shares are still thinly traded and our stock is considered to be a micro-cap stock. Our stock is therefore subject to greater price volatility than larger companies whose stock trades more actively.
Unify’s quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and we expect that they could vary significantly in the future. Such variations could result from the following factors: the size and timing of significant orders and their fulfillment; demand for our products; the quantity, timing and significance of our product enhancements and new product announcements or those of our competitors; our ability to integrate acquisitions; our ability to attract, integrate and retain key employees; seasonality; changes in our pricing or our competitors’; realignments of our organizational structure; changes in the level of our operating expenses; incurrence of extraordinary operating expenses, changes in our sales incentive plans; budgeting cycles of our customers; customer order deferrals in anticipation of enhancements or new products offered by us or our competitors; product life cycles; product defects and other product quality problems; currency fluctuations; and general domestic and international economic and political conditions.
Due to the foregoing factors, quarterly revenues and operating results may vary on a quarterly basis. Revenues and quarterly results may vary because software technology is rapidly evolving, and our sales cycle, from initial evaluation to purchase and the providing of maintenance services, can be lengthy and varies substantially from customer to customer. Because we normally deliver products within a short time of receiving an order, we typically do not have a backlog of orders. As a result, to achieve our quarterly revenue objectives, we are dependent upon obtaining orders in any given quarter for shipment in that quarter. Furthermore, because many customers place orders toward the end of a fiscal quarter, we generally recognize a substantial portion of our software license revenues at the end of a quarter. Our expense levels largely reflect our expectations for future revenue and are therefore somewhat fixed in the short term. We expect that our operating results will continue to be affected by the continually challenging IT economic environment as well as by seasonal trends.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. The Company’s exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolio, which consists of cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost. Cash equivalents are generally maintained in money market accounts which have as their objective preservation of principal. The Company does not believe its exposure to interest rate risk is material for cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $3.0 million as of July 31, 2009. Unify had no short-term investments at July 31, 2009.
24
In November 2006, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with ComVest whereby ComVest would provide up to $2.5 million through a revolving credit facility. The revolver has an interest rate of prime plus 2.25% and has a maturity date of November 30, 2010. Should the prime interest rate increase during the life of the revolver, the Company would have exposure to interest rate risk if it has a large balance outstanding on the revolver. As of July 31, 2009, there was no amount outstanding on the revolver.
Unify does not use derivative financial instruments in its short-term investment portfolio, and places its investments with high quality issuers only and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company is averse to principal loss and attempts to ensure the safety of its invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. As a global concern, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial position. Historically, the Company’s primary exposures have related to local currency denominated sales and expenses in Europe, Japan and Australia. For example, when the U.S. dollar strengthens against the major European currencies, it results in lower revenues and expenses recorded for those regions when translated into U.S. dollars.
Due to the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, the Company cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on its future operating results. Although Unify takes into account changes in exchange rates over time in its pricing strategy, it does so only on an annual basis, resulting in substantial pricing exposure as a result of foreign exchange volatility during the period between annual pricing reviews. The Company also has currency exchange rate exposures on intercompany accounts receivable and intercompany accounts payable related to activities with the Company’s operations in France, Germany, UK, Australia, Singapore and Canada. At July 31, 2009, the Company had $2.1 million in such payables denominated in Euros and U.S. dollars, and a total $4.3 million in receivables denominated in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Singapore dollars, U.S. dollars and pounds sterling. The Company engages in no hedging activities to reduce the risk of such fluctuations. A hypothetical ten percent change in foreign currency rates could have a significant impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial position. The Company has not experienced material exchange losses on intercompany balances in the past; however, due to the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, it cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on its future business, operating results and financial position.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the first three months of fiscal year 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Litigation
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. If such matters arise, the Company cannot assure that it would prevail in such matters, nor can it assure that any remedy could be reached on mutually agreeable terms, if at all. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, were there any such matters, the Company would not be able to accurately predict their ultimate outcome. As of July 31, 2009, there were no current proceedings or litigation involving the Company that management believes would have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
