The attached proxy statement and attached form of proxy are being distributed to stockholders on or about June 4, 2007.
By Order of the Board of Directors

OMER REGEV
Corporate Secretary
Cupertino, California
June 4, 2007
All stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Whether or not you expect to attend, please complete, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet, as promptly as possible in order to ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting. A return envelope (which is postage prepaid if mailed in the United States) is enclosed for that purpose. Even if you have given your proxy, you may still vote in person if you attend. Please note, however, that if a broker, bank or other nominee holds your shares of record and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain from the record holder a proxy issued in your name.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VOTING
Q: | Why did you send me this proxy statement? |
A: | This proxy statement is being sent to you because NetManage’s Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote on an informed basis on the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 1, 2007 are entitled to vote. This proxy statement is being sent on or about June 4, 2007 to those persons who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | Why is my vote important? |
A: | Under Delaware law and NetManage’s bylaws, no business may be conducted at the Annual Meeting unless a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The presence in person, or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. |
Q: | How many votes do I have? |
A: | Each share of NetManage common stock that you own entitles you to one vote. |
A: | If you are the record holder of your shares, you can vote on matters presented at the Annual Meeting in any of the following ways: |
| 1. | You can vote by filling out, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed envelope; |
| 2. | You can vote online at www.proxyvote.com or at computershare.com/expressvote (if you are a registered shareholder); |
| 3. | You can vote by telephone by calling the number shown on the proxy card, or |
| 4. | You can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. |
A: | If you hold your stock through a bank, broker or another holder of record, refer to the information provided by that entity for instructions on how to elect this option. |
Q: | How do I vote by proxy? |
A: | If you properly fill out your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote, or if you submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet, your shares will be voted as you have directed for all proposals. If you sign and return your proxy card or if you submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet, but do not specify how you would like your shares voted, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted for the election of all nominees named in this proxy statement, for the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NetManage’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2007 fiscal year and in accordance with the recommendations of NetManage’s management on any other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If any stockholder proposals as discussed further in this proxy statement are properly brought before the meeting, management will direct that the shares represented by your proxy be voted against any such stockholder proposals. |
| Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to complete, sign, date and return your proxy card in the enclosed envelope or you may submit your proxy by telephone or through the Internet. Submitting your proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the voting begins on any proposal. |
Q: | How do I vote in person? |
A: | If you are record holder of your shares and you attend the Annual Meeting, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. |
Q: | If my shares are held in a “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me? |
A: | Your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. A “broker |
i
| non-vote” occurs when a person holding shares in “street name”, meaning through a bank or brokerage account, does not provide instructions as to how such shares should be voted and the bank or broker does not exercise discretion to vote those shares. |
Q: | Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I have mailed my proxy card or submitted my proxy by telephone or through the Internet? |
A: | You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. You can do this in a number of ways. First, if you are the record holder of your shares, you can send a written notice to the Corporate Secretary of NetManage at our corporate headquarters stating that you would like to revoke your proxy, or you can complete and submit a new proxy card with a later date, or you can submit a proxy with a later date by telephone or through the Internet. Second, if you are a record holder of your shares, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting, however, will not revoke your proxy; you must specifically revoke your proxy. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record and have instructed your bank, broker or other holder to vote your shares, you must follow the directions you received from your bank or broker to change your vote. |
Q: | Will there be any matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting other than those specified in the Notice of Annual Meeting? |
A: | NetManage management does not know of any matters that will be presented at the Annual Meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement, including the stockholder proposals that may be brought before the meeting as discussed further in this proxy statement. If any of the stockholder proposals that may be brought before the meeting as discussed further in this proxy statement are properly brought before the meeting, management will recommend that all proxies be voted against the stockholder proposals. If other matters are properly brought before the meeting and NetManage does not have notice of these matters a reasonable time prior to the Annual Meeting, all proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of NetManage management. |
A: | Stockholders of record of NetManage common stock as of the close of business on June 1, 2007 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of June 1, 2007, there were 9,560,815 shares of common stock outstanding. The presence in person, or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to come before the Annual Meeting. |
| Under Delaware law, if you have returned a valid proxy or attend the meeting in person, but specify that you abstain from voting your shares with respect to one or more matter to come before the Annual Meeting, your shares will nevertheless be treated as present and entitled to vote. Your shares therefore will be counted in determining the existence of a quorum and, even though you have abstained from voting, will have the effect of a vote against any matter requiring the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, such as the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as NetManage’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2007 fiscal year and any stockholder proposal that may be properly brought before the meeting, as discussed further in this proxy statement. |
| Under Delaware law, “broker non-votes” are also counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but are not counted in determining whether a matter requiring a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote has been approved or whether a plurality of the vote of the shares present and entitled to vote has been cast. |
Q: | How are proxies being solicited and who pays for the solicitation of proxies? |
A: | Initially, NetManage will solicit proxies by mail. NetManage directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person or by telephone without additional compensation. In addition, we may retain the services of Morrow & Co., Inc., or another proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. NetManage will pay all expenses of solicitation of proxies. |

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR 2007 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
June 22, 2007
General
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of NetManage, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetManage”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” collectively), for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Friday June 22, 2007 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time (the “Annual Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at our corporate headquarters located at 20883 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, California 95014. The mailing address of the principal executive officers of NetManage, Zvi Alon (the Principal Executive Officer) and Omer Regev (the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), is also 20883 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, California 95014. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed on or about June 4, 2007 to all stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the record date of June 1, 2007.
NetManage’s annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2006 is enclosed with this proxy statement.
Record Date
Stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2007 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. We have two classes of authorized capital stock, designated Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). At the close of business on the Record Date, we had 9,560,815 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock, outstanding and entitled to vote. The common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Stock Market LLC under the symbol NETM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
Vote Required; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes
Each holder of record of Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. All votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, will be tabulated by an inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the Inspector who will be an employee of NetManage. The Inspector will also determine whether or not a quorum is present. Except in certain specific circumstances as described herein under certain of the proposals, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present is required for approval of proposals presented to stockholders. The presence at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, of holders of shares of outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote and representing a majority of the voting power of such shares shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
1
The Inspector will treat shares that are voted “WITHHELD” or “ABSTAIN” as being present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not treat such shares as votes in favor of approving any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted for: (i) the election of the nominees for directors set forth herein; (ii) the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, and (iii) at the discretion of the proxy holders, as to such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, including any stockholder proposal that may be properly brought before the meeting, as discussed further in this proxy statement.
If you hold your shares in a “street name” and do not provide voting instructions to your broker and the broker has indicated on the proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal, your shares will be considered “broker non-votes” with regard to that matter. Broker non-votes will be considered as represented for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be considered as entitled to vote with respect to that proposal. Broker non-votes are not counted in the tabulation of the voting results with respect to the election of directors or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a particular proposal. Thus, a broker non-vote will make a quorum more readily obtainable, but the broker non-vote will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on a proposal that requires a plurality of the votes cast (such as the election of a candidate for director) or a majority of the votes cast (such as the ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm or any stockholder proposal that may be properly brought before the meeting, as discussed further in this proxy statement).
As of the May 29, 2007, our directors and executive officers named herein as a group beneficially owned 2,214,682 of our outstanding shares (approximately 23% of the outstanding Common Stock) and, although they do not have a formal written agreement, they have indicated their intention to vote all of their shares, over which they have voting control, in favor of the election of the nominees for directors set forth herein and the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, and against any stockholder proposal that may be properly brought before the meeting, as discussed further in this proxy statement.
Revocability of Proxies
Any person giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. A stockholder may revoke a proxy by: (i) filing with NetManage’s Secretary at our principal executive office, located at 20883 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, California 95014, a written notice of revocation; (ii) by submitting a new proxy bearing a later date (only your last proxy is counted), or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and informing the Secretary in writing that such stockholder wishes to vote in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record and have instructed your bank, broker or other holder to vote your shares, you must follow the directions you received from your bank or broker to change your vote.
Proxy Solicitation
We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of our Common Stock, beneficially owned by others, to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of Common Stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to those beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for those services, but they may be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses.
2
In addition, we have retained the services of Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Morrow & Co. will receive a fee from us of approximately $7,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
Proposals of stockholders that are intended to be presented at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders must be received in writing by NetManage’s Secretary at our principal executive offices, located at 20883 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, California 95014, no later than February 5, 2008 in order to be considered for possible inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders.
If a stockholder intends to submit a proposal at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders which is not eligible for inclusion in the proxy statement relating to the meeting, or the stockholder fails to give us notice in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on or before February 5, 2008, then the proxy holders will be allowed to use their discretionary authority when and if the proposal is raised at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, with each class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors and with each class having a three-year term. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors who are independent acting in accordance with the Nominating Policy. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy (including a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the Board) shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor is elected and has been qualified.
The Board of Directors is presently composed of seven members. There are two directors in the class to be elected at this Annual Meeting, Mr. John Bosch and Dr. Shelley Harrison, each of whom is an existing director whose term of office expires at the Annual Meeting and each of whom has been nominated in accordance with the Nominating Policy. If elected at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Bosch and Dr. Harrison would each serve until the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and has been qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
Vote Required
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on the election of directors. Shares of Common Stock may not be voted cumulatively with respect to the election of directors.
IF NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED IN THE PROXIES, SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY PROPERLY EXECUTED PROXIES WILL BE VOTED, IF AUTHORITY TO DO SO IS NOT WITHHELD, FOR THE ELECTION OF MR. BOSCH AND DR. HARRISON.
If either Mr. Bosch or Dr. Harrison should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, the proxy holders will vote such shares for the election of any substitute nominee as we may propose. Each of Mr. Bosch and Dr. Harrison has agreed to serve if elected, and we have no reason to believe that Mr. Bosch and Dr. Harrison will be unable to serve.
Set forth below is biographical information for Mr. Bosch and Dr. Harrison and each person whose term of office as a director will continue after the Annual Meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR
OF MR. BOSCH AND DR. HARRISON.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, each member of the Board attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he served that was held during the period for which he was a director or committee member.
In determining the independence of our directors, the Board of Directors has adopted independence standards that mirror the criteria specified by applicable SEC laws and regulations and listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers (the “NASD”). The Board has determined that a majority of the directors are “independent” as that term is defined in NASD Rule 4200(a), and that, specifically Messrs. John Bosch, Uzia Galil, Darrell Miller, Harry Saal and Abraham Ostrovsky are “independent,” as that term is defined in NASD Rule 4200(a). In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered all transactions in which NetManage and any director, including those discussed under “Transactions with Related Persons” below and other transactions that were ordinary course of business transactions in which the independent directors did not have a material direct or indirect interest. There are no current family relationships between or among any of our directors or executive officers, however, Mr. Uzia Galil is the former father-in-law of Mr. Zvi Alon, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, and Chief Executive Officer of NetManage. Stock ownership information is shown under the heading of “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and is based upon information furnished by respective individuals.

COMMITTEES OF THE NETMANAGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board has an Audit Committee, an Option Committee and a Compensation Committee. NetManage maintains on its website, www.netmanage.com, under Corporate Governance copies of the charters of each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the NetManage Board of Directors, as well as copies of its Nominating Policy, and Code of Conduct. Copies of these documents are also available in print upon request of NetManage’s Corporate Secretary. The Code of Conduct is a code of ethics which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer.
Audit Committee
NetManage has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for generally overseeing NetManage’s financial reporting processes and the audit of NetManage’s financial statements. The Audit Committee meets with our independent registered public accounting firm at least quarterly to review the results of our quarterly financial reviews, our annual audit, and to discuss our financial statements. We certify that the Board adopted and approved an amended and restated charter for the Audit Committee on January 29, 2004, and that the Audit Committee has reviewed and reassessed the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The charter gives the Audit Committee the authority and responsibility for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of our independent accountants, including pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent accountants. The Audit Committee charter has also been amended to give this committee broader authority to fulfill its obligations under the SEC and NASD requirements.
The Audit Committee is currently composed of three non-employee directors: Messrs. Bosch, Miller, and Ostrovsky. The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2006. The Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that term is currently defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) and Rule 4350(d) of the listing standards of the NASD. The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Ostrovsky meets the SEC criteria of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Ostrovsky’s extensive background and experience includes serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Accelio Corporation (formerly JetForm) where Mr. Ostrovsky actively supervised NetManage’s Chief Financial Officer and participated extensively in accounting, auditing, and internal control and risk management matters.
Option Committee
The functions of the Option Committee are to review and recommend awards of stock options for approval by the Board of Directors under our stock option plans to employees and consultants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and to recommend any changes or amendments to NetManage’s stock option plans. The Option Committee currently consists of Messrs. Bosch and Miller, both of whom are independent, non-employee directors. The Option Committee met twelve times during 2006.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee reviews and approves specific compensation matters including the grant of options for the Chief Executive Officer, and all executive staff who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer as well as performing such other functions regarding compensation as the Board may delegate. The Board adopted and approved an amended and restated charter for the Compensation Committee on January 29, 2004. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of three independent non-employee directors: Messrs. Bosch, Galil, and Ostrovsky. The Chief Executive Officer makes his recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to options and any repurchases under our stock option plans and the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, for individuals other than the Chief Executive Officer. For the 2006 compensation administration cycle, the Vice President of Human

Resources reviewed and summarized published reports by Radford Survey and the Chief Executive Officer presented an analysis of the Radford Survey’s to the Committee at their January 2006 meeting. The Compensation Committee determines the terms of option grants (including the number of shares) for all such individuals. The Compensation Committee met once during 2006.
Nominations of Candidates for Director
NetManage does not currently have a nominating committee. The full Board of Directors, in consultation with NetManage’s Chief Executive Officer, recommends candidates for election to NetManage’s Board of Directors and from time to time reviews the appropriate skills and characteristics required of individual Board members in the context of the current make-up of the Board, including such factors as business experience, diversity, and personal skills in technology, finance, marketing, international business, financial reporting, corporate governance, and other areas that are expected to contribute to an effective Board, and therefore, NetManage believes it is unnecessary to have a nominating committee. The Board adopted and approved NetManage’s Nominating Policy on April 2, 2004. The Nominating Policy provides guidelines to the Board of Directors of NetManage with the identification, evaluation and recommendation of nominees for NetManage’s Board for each annual meeting and is designed to assist with the evaluation of the composition of NetManage’s Board and its committees. The Board of Directors shall identify potential nominees by asking current directors and executive officers to notify the Board of Directors if they become aware of persons, meeting the criteria described above, who might serve on NetManage’s Board. The Board of Directors also, from time to time, may engage firms that specialize in identifying director candidates.
The Board of Directors also considers candidates recommended by stockholders for election as directors. Such recommendations should be sent to the Board in care of the Corporate Secretary at NetManage’s headquarters, and should include information as to the candidate’s name, biographical data and qualifications per the Nominating Policy. The Independent Directors believe that the minimum qualifications for serving as a director of NetManage are that a nominee demonstrate, by a significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to NetManage’s board’s oversight of the business and affairs of NetManage and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personnel activities. In addition, the independent directors shall examine a candidate’s specific experiences and skills, time and availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and NetManage.
Stockholder Communications with Directors
The Board of Directors welcomes communications from NetManage’s stockholders. Any stockholder may communicate with either the Board as a whole, or with any individual director by sending a written communication in care of NetManage’s Chief Executive Officer at NetManage’s offices located at 20883 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, CA 95014. All such communications sent to NetManage’s Chief Executive Officer will be forwarded to the Board, as a whole, or to the individual director to whom such communication was addressed.
NetManage encourages, but does not require, the members of the Board to attend the annual meetings of stockholders and one or more members of the Board of Directors generally do attend the annual meetings. Messrs. Alon, Ostrvosky, Bosch and Miller attended our annual meeting of stockholders held on May 24, 2006.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Employee directors do not receive any separate compensation for their Board activities although service on the Board may be considered when establishing their compensation as employees. Non-employee directors receive the compensation described below.
Non-employee directors currently receive a fixed sum of $20,000 in cash compensation per year, payable in quarterly installments, for service on the Board of Directors. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee is paid $4,000 per year in cash compensation, and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee is paid $2,000 in cash compensation per year. The designated Audit Committee financial expert receives an additional $4,000 in cash compensation per year.

Non-employee directors are eligible to receive options under the 1993 Non-employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and under our 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated. A total of 200,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Directors’ Plan. Under the Directors’ Plan, each person that is elected for the first time as a director and who is not otherwise employed by us or our affiliates is granted an option to purchase 16,000 shares of common stock upon the date of his or her election to the Board. At each annual meeting of stockholders, each person who is then a non-employee director and has been a non-employee director for at least three months is granted an option to purchase an additional 4,000 shares of common stock.

PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 and the Board of Directors has directed that management submit the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
Stockholder ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte & Touche to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year, if they determine that such a change would be in our best interests and those of our stockholders.
Deloitte & Touche LLP has audited our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the services provided by the independent registered public accountants during the fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Following are the material elements of the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures:
Audit Services and Fees: Annually, the Audit Committee will review and approve 100% of the audit services and estimated audit fees for the following year. The projections are updated quarterly and the Audit Committee will consider and, if appropriate, pre-approve any amounts exceeding the original estimates.
Non-Audit Services and Fees: Annually, and otherwise as necessary, the Audit Committee will review and pre-approve 100% of the non-audit services and estimated audit fees for such services. For recurring services, such as tax compliance and statutory filings the Audit Committee will review and approve the services and estimated total fees for such matters by category and location of service. The projections are updated quarterly and the Audit Committee will consider and, if appropriate, pre-approve any amounts exceeding the original estimates. For non-recurring services such as special tax projects, due diligence or other consulting, the Audit Committee will review and pre-approve the services and the estimated fees by individual project. The projections are updated quarterly and the Audit Committee will pre-approve any amounts exceeding the original estimates.
Should an engagement need pre-approval before the next Committee meeting, authority to grant such approval is delegated to the Audit Committee Chairman (or if he were unavailable, another Audit Committee member). Such approval would be reviewed with the entire Audit Committee at the next meeting.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the services described under All Other Fees above is compatible with maintaining Deloitte & Touche’s independence and has determined that such services have not adversely affected Deloitte & Touche’s independence.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, is necessary for approval of this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this matter, since they will be considered as represented for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be considered as entitled to vote with respect to this proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of this proposal but will have no effect on this proposal except that they will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 2.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires NetManage’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of the Common stock of NetManage to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of common stock of NetManage with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Based solely on a review of copies of such reports and written representations from the reporting persons, NetManage believes that during the year ended December 31, 2006, its executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders filed on a timely basis all reports due under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and approves all other executive officers’ compensation, including base salary and payments under our bonus programs.
Executive Compensation Objectives and Major Policies
Our primary goal is to align compensation with our business objectives and performance. Our aim is to attract, retain and reward executive officers and other key employees who contribute to our long-term success and to motivate those individuals to enhance long-term stockholder value. To establish this relationship between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value, the Compensation Committee has adopted a total compensation package comprised of base salary, bonus and stock option awards. Key elements of this compensation package are:
| • | | We pay competitively with leading software and high technology companies with which we compete for employees and other service providers; |
| • | | We maintain annual incentive opportunities sufficient to provide motivation to achieve specific operating goals and to generate rewards that bring total compensation to competitive levels, and |
| • | | We provide significant equity-based incentives for executives and other key employees to ensure that these individuals are motivated over the long term to respond to our business challenges and opportunities as owners and not just as employees. |
Company Performance and Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The 2006 salary and potential bonus of Mr. Alon, our Chief Executive Officer were established by the Compensation Committee in light of Mr. Alon’s responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer, on the basis of the salary received by him in 2004 and 2005 and our overall 2006 performance. Mr. Alon’s annual salary for 2006 was $475,000, and his target bonus was $285,000. The Committee determined that Mr. Alon’s salary and bonus are necessary to maintain Mr. Alon’s compensation at a competitive level in the industry. The Committee then reviewed Mr. Alon’s performance during fiscal year 2006, taking into account NetManage’s overall financial performance, Mr. Alon’s specific business achievements over the last year and progress that had been made with respect to certain Company initiatives. The Compensation Committee determined that our goals were not attained in the fiscal year 2006, and, accordingly, did not award any cash bonuses to Mr. Alon in 2006.
Executive Officer Salaries
As previously mentioned, we compensate our executive officers principally through a combination of base salary, cash bonus and equity compensation. We believe that offering executive officers a total compensation package that includes a significant portion of at-risk, performance based incentives helps achieve NetManage’s goal of increasing earnings and stockholder value. With respect to the executive officers hired in 2006, salary, potential bonus and stock option grants were determined on the basis of negotiations between us and each officer with due regard to the officer’s experience, prevailing market conditions and internal equity. Similarly, we
16
negotiated with the former executive officers at the time of such officer’s hiring and reached a level of compensation that we believed was reasonably required to obtain the services of such officer.
NetManage reviews and administers compensation changes for all employees, including our continuing Named Executive Officers, on an annual basis. Each January, after performance results for the prior year are finalized and the business planning performance targets for the current year are complete, base salary changes and long-term incentive grants are reviewed and where applicable are approved by the appropriate authorized individuals. For the 2006 compensation administration cycle, management reviewed and summarized published reports by Radford Survey and presented management’s analysis of the Radford Survey’s to the Committee at their January 2006 meeting.
Specific Elements of Executive Compensation
Specifically, management examined the pattern of compensation practices among similar companies and adjusted benchmark data for the general industry and broad industry groups to reflect the pay level they expected the peer companies to pay if they were NetManage’s revenue size. The Committee and management also discussed the relative compensation and organizational roles and responsibilities of the Named Executive Officers.
We paid or provided the following elements of compensation to the Named Executive Officers with respect to 2006:
Base salaries
A key component of executive compensation is base salary. To remain competitive for critical talent, we seek to provide our executive officers with base salaries comparable to the peer group of Company’s. We generally target our base salaries to approximately the 50th percentile of the relevant benchmark in the industry. For 2006, each named executive officer’s base pay was at or slightly above the 50th percentile of the applicable market.
Short-term incentives
A second key component of executive compensation is annual cash bonuses. We provided each of the Named Executive Officers with the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus for 2006 performance. These awards are generally intended to qualify as performance based under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Historically, a substantial portion of the cash compensation paid to our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, has been in the form of discretionary cash bonuses payable on a quarterly basis. The Compensation Committee believes that the bonus compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers should be expressly linked to our performance. Consistent with this philosophy, the bonus compensation is contingent primarily upon achieving a sufficient level of corporate profitability and NetManage’s overall financial performance. Bonus payments are based on a target bonus pool established at the beginning of the year for each officer. In reviewing 2006 bonuses, the Compensation Committee determined that NetManage’s goals for 2006 were not achieved and therefore determined not to pay cash bonuses to any of the executive officers for 2006.
Long-Term Incentives
To date, long-term incentives have consisted solely of grants of options to purchase our common stock. Generally, the Compensation Committee makes stock option grants annually to certain of our executive officers. Each grant is designed to align the interests of the executive officer with those of the stockholders and provide each individual with a significant incentive to manage NetManage from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Each grant allows the officer to acquire shares of our common stock at a fixed price per share (being the closing price of the shares on the NASDAQ Global Market on the grant date) over a specified period of time (up to ten years). Each option generally becomes exercisable in a series of installments
17
over a four-year period, contingent upon the officer’s continued employment with us. Accordingly, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if he remains employed by us during the vesting period, and then only if the fair market value of the underlying shares appreciates over the option term.
The size of the option grant to each executive officer is set by the Compensation Committee at a level that is intended to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based upon the individual’s current position with us, the individual’s personal performance in recent periods, and his or her potential for future responsibility and promotion over the option term. The Compensation Committee also takes into account the number of unvested options held by the executive officer in order to maintain an appropriate level of equity incentive for that individual, the relevant weight given to each of these factors varies from individual to individual. The Compensation Committee has established certain guidelines with respect to the option grants made to the executive officers, but has the flexibility to make adjustments to those guidelines at its discretion.
Our primary long-term incentive program presently consists of the 1992 Plan and the 1999 Plan. Options granted under the 1992 Plan generally vest over four years beginning on the first of the month following the date of hire of the optionee. These options are subject to a 25% cliff-vesting period that matures on the one-year anniversary of the grant date after which they are subject to monthly vesting to encourage key employees to continue in our employ. Through option grants, executives receive significant equity incentives to build long-term stockholder value. The exercise price of options granted under the 1992 Plan is generally 100% of the fair market value (being the closing price of the shares on the NASDAQ Global Market) of our common stock on the date of grant. The 1999 Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options for employees of NetManage (or a subsidiary corporation). Options granted under the 1999 Plan generally vest over four years beginning on the date of grant of the option. These options are subject to a 25% cliff-vesting period that matures on the one-year anniversary of the grant date after which they are subject to monthly vesting.
Deferred compensation
NetManage sponsors a qualified 401(k) savings plan that covers most employees, including the Named Executive Officers, and other executive officers, however, NetManage does not match any deferred contributions of any of it employees, including its Named Executive Officers and other executive officers.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
NetManage does not provide any non-qualified deferred compensation plans for any employees, including the Named Executive Officers.
Pension Benefits
NetManage does not provide Pension benefits to its employees, including its Named Executive Officers.
Certain Tax Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, precludes a public corporation from taking a tax deduction for individual compensation in excess of $1 million for its chief executive officer or any of its four other highest-paid officers. This limitation applies to all compensation paid to the covered executive officers, which is not considered to be performance-based. The Compensation Committee considers the implications of this deduction limitation as one of many factors when setting compensation policy and making individual compensation determinations. The 1992 Plan contains provisions that permit certain grants to be made that would qualify for the performance-based exception. However, not all grants issued under the 1992 Plan qualify for this exception. The Compensation Committee does not expect that NetManage would be denied a deduction under Section 162(m) for compensation paid during 2006; however, it is possible that in 2007 or some future year, a portion of the compensation deemed paid to a Company executive based on the exercise of one or more options will not be deductible under Code Section 162(m).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER MATTERS
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During our last fiscal year, Messrs. John Bosch, Uzia Galil and Abraham Ostrovsky served on our Compensation Committee. Each of Zvi Alon, our President, Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Nominee, John Bosch, Abraham Ostrovsky and Uzia Galil, directors of the Board, participated in the deliberations of the Compensation Committee during 2006 concerning executive officer compensation. Mr. Galil abstained from voting on Mr. Alon’s compensation since he is the former father-in-law of Mr. Alon, and although Mr. Alon attends meetings of the Committee, he does not participate in deliberations that relate to his own compensation.

POTENTIAL POST EMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS
Currently, in the event a change in control of NetManage occurs, each outstanding option issued pursuant to the 1992 Plan and the 1999 Plan will automatically accelerate in full, subject to the limitations as stated below. All options granted under the 1992 Plan prior to its April 25, 2003 restatement will accelerate in full upon a change in control. In the event of a change in control, each outstanding option under the 1992 Plan as amended and restated will automatically accelerate in full, unless; (i) the option is assumed by the successor corporation or otherwise continued in effect, or (ii) the option is replaced with a cash incentive program which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares (the excess of the fair market value of those shares over the option exercise price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for those option shares. In addition, all unvested shares outstanding under the 1992 Plan will immediately vest, except to the extent that our repurchase rights with respect to those shares are to be assigned to the successor corporation or otherwise continued in effect. The Board or Option Committee will have complete discretion to grant one or more options which will become exercisable for all the option shares in the event the optionee’s service with us or the successor entity is terminated (actually or constructively) within a designated period following a change in control transaction in which those options are assumed or otherwise continued in effect.
The Board or Option Committee will have the discretion to structure one or more option grants under the 1992 Plan so that those options will vest immediately upon a change in control, whether or not the options are to be assumed or otherwise continued in effect.
All options granted under the 1999 Plan as amended and restated, will automatically accelerate in full and will be exercisable for a period of at least 10 days prior to the closing in the event of: (i) a merger or
23
consolidation in which NetManage is not the surviving corporation; (ii) a reverse merger in which NetManage is the surviving corporation but the shares of NetManage’s common stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, or (iii) any other capital reorganization in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of NetManage entitled to vote are exchanged. Such options shall be terminated if not exercised prior to the closing of such transaction; provided, however, that in no event shall any such accelerated vesting or termination of the options occur in connection with a transaction effected solely for the purpose of changing the situs of NetManage’s incorporation (e.g. from Delaware to California).
Assuming the triggering event occurs on December 29, 2006, the estimated value of each of this accelerated vesting for each of the Named Executive Officers is as follows:
| | | |
Name | | Option Acceleration on Change in Control(1) |

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Policies and Procedures for Approving Transactions With Related Persons
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has the responsibility to review and approve related person transactions, either in advance or when we become aware of a related person transaction that was not reviewed and approved in advance, but has not adopted a written policy or procedures governing its approval of transactions with related persons.
Our Audit Committee approves in advance any transactions with related persons pursuant to our written related person transaction approval policy. Our policy requires that the committee review the material facts of any transaction that could potentially qualify as a “related person transaction” as defined in applicable SEC rules and either approve or disapprove of our entry into the transaction. If advance committee approval is not feasible, the related person transaction is considered, and if the committee determines it to be appropriate, ratified at the committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction, the Audit Committee takes into account, among other factors it deems to be appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated person under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s direct or interest in the transaction.
24
In addition, the committee has delegated to the chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve or ratify any related person transaction in which the aggregate amount is expected to be less than $1.0 million. In connection with each regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, a summary of each new related person transaction so pre-approved must be provided to the committee for its review. No director who is a related person in a transaction may participate in any discussion or approval of the transaction, other than provided material information concerning the transaction. If a related person transaction is on-going, the Audit Committee may establish guidelines for management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related person. Thereafter, the committee reviews and assesses ongoing relationships with the related person annually to see that they are in compliance with the committee’s guidelines and are appropriate.
Transactions With Related Persons
We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain officers and directors which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of ours, and otherwise to the full extent permitted under Delaware law and our Bylaws.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed NetManage’s audited financial statements with our management. The Audit Committee has discussed with NetManage’s independent registered public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU Section 380) as amended, which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of NetManage’s financial statements.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (“Independence Discussions with Audit Committees”) as amended, and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP from NetManage.
Management is responsible for our financial reporting process including its system of internal control, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accountants, is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. It is not the Audit Committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are not our employees and may not be, and may not represent themselves to be or to serve as, accountants or accountants by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, the Audit Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and on the representations of the independent accountants included in their report on NetManage’s financial statements. The Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the independent accountants do not assure that our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that our independent registered public accountants are in fact “independent”.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above in this report, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
NetManage maintains four equity incentive plans under which individuals in NetManage’s service may acquire shares of Common Stock, all of which have been approved by NetManage’s stockholders:
The 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan
On June 26, 1992, the Board of Directors approved the 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan, (the “1992 Plan”). At NetManage’s annual stockholders’ meeting on June 5, 2002, a majority of the stockholders of NetManage present or represented and entitled to vote at the Meeting approved: (i) an increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1992 Plan by 214,286 shares; (ii) the addition of an annual share increase provision to the 1992 Plan beginning in the calendar year 2003 and continuing through calendar year 2007, and (iii) an extension of the term of the 1992 Plan to July 22, 2012. As of May 29, 2007, the Board had authorized and reserved for issuance 3,437,417 shares under the 1992 Plan. The 1992 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and officers and non-statutory stock options to employees, officers, directors and consultants. Pursuant to the terms of the 1992 Plan, the exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock (being the closing price of the shares on the NASDAQ Global Market) on the date of grant (110% of such fair market value in the case of a grant to a holder of more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of NetManage’s outstanding capital stock (a “10% stockholder”)). Furthermore, the exercise price of non-statutory options granted pursuant to the 1992 Plan may not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of such fair market value. Under the 1992 Plan stock options become exercisable at a rate of 25% of the shares subject to the option at the end of the first year and 1/48 of the shares subject to the option at the end of each calendar month thereafter. The maximum term of a stock option under the 1992 Plan is ten years (or five years in the case of an incentive option granted to a 10% stockholder).

However, not more than 50% of the shares authorized for issuance under the 1999 Plan may be issued pursuant to option grants made to our officers or the members of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the 1999 Plan, the exercise price non-statutory stock options may not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock (being the closing price of the shares on the NASDAQ Global Market) on the date of grant.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are NetManage stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and
29
annual report, please notify your broker, or contact NetManage at (408) 973-7171. Stockholders who hold their shares in a brokerage or other custodial account and currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.
NetManage does not practice “householding” and will deliver a separate copy of each proxy statement and annual report to stockholders to each stockholder of record, even if two or more stockholders of record share an address. If you receive multiple copies of our proxy statement and annual report to stockholders and would like to receive only one copy per household, contact NetManage at (408) 973-7171.
OTHER MATTERS
On December 7, 2006, Riley Investment Partners, L.P. (formerly known as SACC Partners LP), an affiliate of Riley Investment Management LLC and a stockholder of NetManage as described in this proxy statement, sent a notice to NetManage notifying NetManage of (i) its intent to nominate for election at the 2007 annual meeting of NetManage stockholders two directors to the NetManage Board in lieu of any persons who may be nominated by the NetManage Board, and (ii) its intent to bring before the 2007 annual meeting of NetManage stockholders eight other proposals, as set forth in the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by Bryant R. Riley on December 7, 2006. If any of these stockholder proposals are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, management will recommend that the persons named in the accompanying proxy vote all proxies against any such stockholder proposals.
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
