NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Compuware Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingencies and results of operations. While management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at September 30, 2007, final amounts may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2007 included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of actual results achieved for full fiscal years. Revenue Recognition - The Company earns revenue from licensing software products, providing maintenance and support for those products and rendering professional services. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP including Statements of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" and 98-9 "Modification of SOP 97-2, 'Software Revenue Recognition,' With Respect to Certain Transactions", Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21 "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables". Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Software license fees - The Company's software license agreements provide its customers with a right to use its software perpetually (perpetual licenses) or during a defined term (term licenses). Perpetual license fee revenue is recognized using the residual method, under which the fair value, based on vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE"), of all undelivered elements of the agreement (i.e., maintenance and professional services) is deferred. VSOE is based on rates charged for maintenance and professional services when sold separately. The remaining portion of the fee, net of discretionary discounts (the residual), is recognized as license fee revenue upon delivery of the products, provided that no significant obligations remain and collection of the related receivable is deemed probable. For revenue arrangements where there is a lack of VSOE of fair value for any undelivered elements, license fee revenue is deferred and recognized upon delivery of those elements. When maintenance or services are the only undelivered elements, the license fee revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the longer of the maintenance term or over the period in 6 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) which the services are expected to be performed. For income statement presentation purposes, we allocate revenue between professional services fees, maintenance fees and license fees based on our best estimate of the fair value of the undelivered elements using the residual method. The Company offers flexibility to customers purchasing licenses for its products and related maintenance. Terms of these transactions range from standard perpetual license sales that include one year of maintenance to large multi-year (generally two to five years), multi-product contracts. The Company allows deferred payment terms on multi-year contracts, with installments collectible over the term of the contract. Based on the Company's successful collection history for deferred payments, license fees (net of any finance fees) are recognized as discussed above. The finance fee is recognized as interest income over the term of the receivable. Maintenance fees - The Company's maintenance agreements provide for technical support and advice, including problem resolution services and assistance in product installation, error corrections and any product enhancements released during the maintenance period. The first year of maintenance is included with all license agreements. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance arrangements, which primarily range from one to five years. Professional services fees - Professional services fees are generally based on hourly or daily rates; therefore, revenues from professional services are recognized in the period the services are performed provided that collection of the related receivable is deemed probable. For development services rendered under fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Certain professional services contracts include a project and on-going operations for the project. Revenue associated with these contracts is recognized over the service period as the customer derives value from the services, consistent with the proportional performance method. Capitalized Software - Capitalized software includes the costs of purchased and internally developed software products and is stated at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". Capitalization of internally developed software products begins when technological feasibility of the product is established. Technology development and support includes primarily the costs of programming personnel associated with product development and support net of amounts capitalized. The amortization for both internally developed and purchased software products is computed on a product-by-product basis. Capitalized software is reviewed for impairment on each balance sheet date. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues compared with the total of current and anticipated future revenues for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, including the period being reported on. Amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers. The amortization period for capitalized software is generally five years. Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Goodwill for each operating segment and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually and/or when events or circumstances indicate that their fair value may have been reduced below carrying value. The Company evaluated its goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles as of March 31, 2007 and determined there was no impairment. 7 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and therefore, does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact this Statement will have on the Company's financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," which permits entities to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value measurement election is irrevocable and subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of the Company's eligible financial instruments.

The Company has reserved an aggregate of 28,000,000 common shares to be awarded under the LTIP. The Compensation committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based cash or stock awards and annual cash incentive awards under the LTIP. All of the other Company's stock option plans have been terminated as to future grants. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan under which rights to purchase the Company's common stock are granted at 95% of the last day's actual closing market price on the market date immediately preceding a relevant transaction. During the first six months of 2008 the Company sold approximately 239,733 shares. The Company's stock-based compensation plan activity was as follows (shares and intrinsic value in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Six Months Ended September 30, 2007 ---------------------------------------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Aggregate Number of Exercise Contractual Intrinsic Options Price Term Value --------- -------- ----------- --------- Options outstanding as of April 1, 2007 43,710 $12.23 Granted 410 10.93 Exercised (6,732) 8.83 Forfeited (544) 7.19 Cancelled/expired (1,195) 14.65 ------ ------ Options outstanding as of September 30, 2007 35,649 $12.79 3.56 $9,249 ====== ====== Options vested and expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures, as of September 30, 2007 34,250 $13.06 3.23 $8,272 Options exercisable as of September 30, 2007 30,137 $13.84 2.73 $4,785 </Table> The total fair value of shares vested and the total intrinsic value of options exercised were as follows (intrinsic values in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Six Months Ended September 30, ---------------- 2007 2006 ------- ----- Fair value of shares vested $ 5.12 $5.55 Intrinsic value of options exercised 16,192 710 </Table> Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. 10 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on the simplified method as described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation regarding dividend payouts. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the periods and the assumptions used to estimate those values using a Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: <Table> <Caption> Six Months Ended September 30, ---------------- 2007 2006 ------ ------ Expected volatility 59.21% 68.88% Risk-free interest rate 4.79% 4.83% Expected lives at date of grant (in years) 6.7 6.9 Weighted-average fair value of the options granted $ 6.84 $ 5.04 </Table> Dividend yields were not a factor in determining fair value of stock options granted as the Company has never issued cash dividends and does not anticipate issuing cash dividends in the future. Stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, 2007 September 30, 2007 ------------------ ------------------ Stock-based compensation classified as: Cost of software license fees $ -- $ 1 Cost of maintenance fees 71 139 Cost of professional services 336 672 Technology development and support 168 342 Sales and marketing 690 1,132 Administrative and general 350 780 Restructuring costs (see Note 7) 3,995 4,117 ------- ------- Total stock-based compensation expense before income taxes 5,610 7,183 Income tax benefit (1,953) (2,489) ------- ------- Total stock-based compensation expense after income taxes $ 3,657 $ 4,694 ======= ======= </Table> As of September 30, 2007, $13.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.86 years. 11 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The components of the Company's intangible assets were as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> September 30, 2007 -------------------------------------------- Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amount Amortization Amount -------------- ------------ ------------ Unamortized intangible assets: Trademarks (1) $ 6,019 $ 6,019 ======== ======= Amortized intangible assets: Capitalized software (2) $337,211 $(271,668) $65,543 Customer relationship agreements (3) 14,142 (7,105) 7,037 Non-compete agreements (3) 2,854 (2,543) 311 Other (4) 6,896 (6,152) 744 -------- --------- ------- Total amortized intangible assets $361,103 $(287,468) $73,635 ======== ========= ======= </Table> <Table> <Caption> March 31, 2007 -------------------------------------------- Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amount Amortization Amount -------------- ------------ ------------ Unamortized intangible assets: Trademarks (1) $ 5,865 $ 5,865 ======== ======= Amortized intangible assets: Capitalized software (2) $328,957 $(256,681) $72,276 Customer relationship agreements (3) 13,827 (5,571) 8,256 Non-compete agreements (3) 2,794 (2,222) 572 Other (4) 6,883 (5,900) 983 -------- --------- ------- Total amortized intangible assets $352,461 $(270,374) $82,087 ======== ========= ======= </Table> (1) Certain trademarks were acquired as part of the Covisint, LLC and Changepoint Corporation acquisitions in fiscal 2004 and 2005.

These activities resulted in a restructuring charge of $34.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007. As a result of these initiatives the Company has terminated approximately 415 employees and identified for termination approximately 65 employees. In addition, the Company has exited certain locations or reduced the square footage required to operate existing facilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company initiated a restructuring plan that realigned and centralized certain product development activities and terminated employees from various other functions of the organization. Development activities were transitioned from the Merrimack, New Hampshire facility and the Amsterdam, The Netherlands facility to the Detroit headquarters facility and Application Vantage product development was transitioned from the San Diego, California facility to the Gdansk, Poland facility. The restructuring plan included the termination of approximately 230 employees, primarily programming personnel, and full or partial closing of the aforementioned facilities. In addition, the Company also terminated approximately 70 employees from various other functions of the organization, primarily within our products segment. All costs related to these first quarter actions have been expensed. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company communicated a plan to further centralize a number of its product development activities. The centralization plan included the transition of development activities from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Sydney, Australia and Dublin, Ireland to the Detroit headquarters. This action will eliminate the positions of approximately 100 employees, and is anticipated to be substantially completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition, the Company continued with workforce reductions in other areas of the company, terminating approximately 80 employees, primarily in sales and marketing. As part of the sales force reorganization, senior management positions were eliminated and the distributed and mainframe sales teams were aligned under one management structure. In addition, the Application Delivery Management and Changepoint sales teams were combined. The activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 resulted in a restructuring charge of $18.7 million. Approximately $1.7 million remains to be expensed related to these actions, primarily lease abandonment costs. As part of the restructuring activities during the second quarter, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Henry (Hank) Jallos, its former President and Chief Operating Officer of Products, whose employment with the Company ended on July 10, 2007. Mr. Jallos will receive his salary in effect on his retirement date ($600,000 per year) through June 30, 2009. In accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, Mr. Jallos will receive the first six months of salary no earlier than January 10, 2008 after which Mr. Jallos will receive his remaining salary paid in semi-monthly installments through June 30, 2009. Mr. Jallos will also receive bonuses earned under the Company's executive incentive plan for fiscal 2006 in the amount of $345,000, which is payable in April 2008, and for fiscal 2007 in the amount of $240,000, which is payable in April 2009. Unvested stock options held by Mr. Jallos will continue to vest and all options may be exercised by Mr. Jallos pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable stock option agreements as if his employment with the Company continued. Mr. Jallos must refrain from making disparaging statements regarding the Company and its directors and employees, and will remain obligated through June 30, 2009 to continue to comply with the provisions of our standard employee agreement, which requires that he keep the Company's confidential information confidential and that he comply with the Company's employee code of conduct. Under the standard employee agreement, he will also 15 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) be prohibited until June 30, 2010 from competing with the Company, soliciting the Company's clients and soliciting or recruiting the Company's employees. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $5.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 related to this matter, including a non cash charge of $4.0 million related to the continued vesting of outstanding stock options. The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual as of March 31, 2007, and changes to the accrual during the first six months of fiscal 2008 (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Non-cash Expensed Paid charges Accrual during the during the during the Accrual balance at period ended period ended period ended balance at March 31, September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 2007 2007 2007 2007 2007 ---------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Employee termination benefits $26,907 $(16,228) $(4,117) $ 6,562 Facilities costs (primarily lease abandonments and property and equipment impairment) $2,419 6,998 (691) (3,079) 5,647 Other 846 (740) 106 ------ ------- -------- ------- ------- Total $2,419 $34,751 $(17,659) $(7,196) $12,315 ====== ======= ======== ======= ======= </Table> As of September 30, 2007, $9.4 million of the restructuring accrual is recorded in current "accrued expenses" with the remaining balance of $2.9 million recorded in long-term "accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accruals for employee termination benefits at September 30, 2007 primarily represent the amounts to be paid to employees that have been terminated or identified for termination as a result of initiatives described above. Most of these amounts are expected to be paid within fiscal 2008. The accruals for facilities costs at September 30, 2007 represent the remaining fair value of lease obligations for exited locations, as determined at the cease-use dates of those facilities, net of estimated sublease income that could be reasonably obtained in the future, and will be paid out over the remaining lease terms, the last of which ends in fiscal 2012. Projected sublease income is based on management's estimates, which are subject to change. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company also recorded a capitalized software impairment charge of $3.9 million associated with our DevPartner and OptimalJ products that was recorded to "Cost of software license fees" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 16 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 8 - DEBT The Company has no long term debt. On November 1, 2007, the Company entered into a new, unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "new credit facility") with Comerica Bank and other lenders. The new credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150 million and expires on November 1, 2012. The credit facility also has an accordion feature to increase the revolving line of credit by up to $150 million subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other conditions. The new credit facility contains various negative covenants, including limitations on: liens, investments, loans and advances, indebtedness, mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, asset sales, dividends and transactions with affiliates. The new credit facility is also subject to maximum total debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage financial covenants. Any borrowings under the new credit facility bear interest at the Company's option, at the prime rate, the Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin (based on the level of maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio), or the Federal Funds rate plus one hundred basis points plus the applicable margin. The Company will also pay a quarterly facility fee on the new credit facility based on the applicable margin grid. Previously, the Company held a $100 million revolving credit facility which matured on October 26, 2007. No borrowings had ever occurred under the prior facility. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES On July 12, 2007, the State of Michigan enacted the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) as a replacement for the Single Business Tax (SBT), which expires at December 31, 2007. The MBT is effective on January 1, 2008 and is comprised of two components: an income tax and a modified gross receipts tax. The two components of the MBT are considered income taxes subject to the accounting provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". As a result of the MBT enactment, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $12 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This benefit relates primarily to the recognition of a deferred tax asset for Brownfield Redevelopment credits which are available to offset MBT liabilities through the Company's fiscal year 2022. The Brownfield Redevelopment credits were previously available to reduce the Company SBT liabilities. These credits were not historically recorded as a deferred tax asset since the Company did not account for the SBT as an income tax. As with all deferred tax assets, the Company assessed the ability to utilize these credits prior to their expiration and recorded a valuation allowance for the amount that was not more likely than not to be realized. The income tax provision for the first quarter ended June 30, 2007 includes an additional $2.1 million charge relating to the tax receivable previously recorded in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007. The previously recorded receivable had included an interest income component which was subject to income taxes, but for which the Company had not recorded a tax provision. The Company has considered both the qualitative and quantitative effects of this error on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as well as the qualitative and quantitative effects of including the error correction in the quarter ended June 30, 17 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) 2007, the six months ended September 30, 2007 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, and has concluded that the effects on the financial statements are not material. During the first quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Upon adoption of FIN 48, we recorded a $1.4 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. At April 1, 2007, the Company had $16.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits of which $12.7 million, net of federal benefit, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $18.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $4.6 million are netted against deferred tax assets relating to the same jurisdiction, and $1.9 million and $11.7 million are recorded as current and non-current accrued expenses, respectively. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits, $13.7 million, net of federal benefit, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. There have been no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. In accordance with our accounting policy, interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. The Company had a $3.6 million reserve recorded for the payment of interest and penalties at April 1, 2007. This amount is included as a component of the gross unrecognized tax benefits discussed above. The Company has a $3.4 million reserve recorded for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, the Company has open tax years, from tax periods 1996 and forward, with various taxing jurisdictions, including the U.S., Brazil and the United Kingdom. While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months, the Company does not anticipate the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. 18 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Compuware Corporation Detroit, Michigan We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of September 30, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Compuware Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 24, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Detroit, Michigan November 6, 2007 19 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. When we use words such as "may," might," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue", "predict", "forecast", "projected", "intend" or similar expressions, or make statements regarding our future plans, objectives or expectations, we are making forward-looking statements. Numerous important factors, risks and uncertainties affect our operating results and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied by these or any other forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. The material risks and uncertainties that we believe affect us are summarized below and, other than the risk factor relating to our stock repurchase plans, have not materially changed since the end of fiscal 2007 (see Item 1A Risk Factors in our 2007 10-K for a more detailed explanation of each risk). These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or focused on or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors and those listed below. If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could decline significantly, and shareholders could lose all or part of their investment. There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations. While we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report. - The majority of our software products revenue is dependent on our customers' continued use of International Business Machines Corp. ("IBM") and IBM-compatible products, and on the acceptance of our pricing structure for software licenses and maintenance. - Our software product revenue is dependent on the acceptance of our pricing structure for software license and maintenance. - We may fail to achieve our forecasted financial results due to inaccurate sales forecasts or other factors. - If we fail to achieve the results we expect from our restructuring programs, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. - Our software and technology may infringe the proprietary rights of others. - Our results could be adversely affected if our operating margins decline. - Our results could be adversely affected by increased competition, pricing pressures and technological changes. - The market for professional services is highly competitive, fragmented and characterized by low barriers to entry. - The continuation of our stock repurchase plans is subject to various risks and uncertainties that may cause us to suspend or terminate our market repurchase activity. 20 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES For example, repurchases of the Company's common stock could be delayed indefinitely by conditions in the stock or debt markets, adverse business conditions, the Company's need to conserve capital resources for use in its operations, the Company's inability or unwillingness to borrow funds, and other factors beyond our control. - We must develop or acquire product enhancements and new products to succeed. - Acquisitions may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business or divert the attention of our management and may result in financial results that are different than expected. - We are exposed to exchange rate risks on foreign currencies and to other international risks which may adversely affect our business and results of operations. - A further decline in the U.S. domestic automotive manufacturing business could adversely affect our professional services business. - Current laws may not adequately protect our proprietary rights. - The loss of certain key employees and technical personnel or our inability to hire additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business. - Our quarterly financial results vary and may be adversely affected by a number of unpredictable factors. - Maintenance revenue could decline. - Unanticipated changes in our operating results or effective tax rates, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities, could affect our profitability. - Acts of terrorism, acts of war and other unforeseen events may cause damage or disruption to us or our customers which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. - Our articles of incorporation, bylaws and rights agreement as well as certain provisions of Michigan law have anti-takeover effects that may deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control or management, including transactions in which the stockholders of Compuware might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the current market prices. OVERVIEW In this section, we discuss our results of operations on a segment basis for each of our financial reporting segments. We operate in two business segments in the technology industry: products and professional services. We evaluate segment performance based primarily on segment contribution before corporate expenses. References to years are to fiscal years ended March 31. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, particularly "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". We deliver value to businesses worldwide by providing software products and professional services that improve the performance of IT organizations. Originally founded in 1973 as a professional services company, in the late 1970's we began to offer mainframe productivity tools for fault diagnosis, file and data management, and application debugging. In the 1990's, IT moved toward distributed and web-based platforms. Our solutions portfolio grew in response, and we now market a comprehensive portfolio of IT solutions across the full range of enterprise computing platforms that help: 21 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - Develop and deliver high quality, high performance enterprise business applications in a timely and cost-effective manner. - Measure, manage and communicate application service in business terms, and maintain consistent, high levels of service delivery. - Provide executive visibility, decision support and process automation across the entire IT organization to enable all available resources to be harnessed in alignment with business priorities. Additionally, to be competitive in today's global economy, enterprises must securely share applications, information and business processes. We address this market need through our Covisint offerings, which help manage the supply chain through the integration of vital business information and processes between partners, customers and suppliers. We focus on growing revenue and profit margins by enhancing and promoting our current product lines, expanding our product and service offerings through key acquisitions, developing strategic partnerships in order to provide clients with our product solutions and managing our costs. The following occurred during the second quarter of 2008: - Restructuring actions resulted in a charge of $18.7 million. Cost saving actions initiated during the first six months of 2008 are expected to reduce costs by approximately $75.0 million on an annualized basis. - Repurchased approximately 19.1 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.02 per share. Obtained authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase an additional $200 million of common stock. - Terminated the Stock Repurchase Agreement under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. - Experienced a 31.0% increase in distributed product revenue compared to the second quarter of 2007 due to increases in both license and maintenance revenue. - Realized a 3.0% decrease in mainframe product revenue compared to the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to a decline in maintenance revenue. - Experienced an increase in products contribution margin to 42.9% in the second quarter of 2008 from 33.5% in the second quarter of 2007 due to an increase in license revenue and a decrease in technology development and support and sales and marketing costs. - Recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $12 million as a result of the Michigan Business Tax enactment. - Released 11 mainframe and 4 distributed product updates designed to increase the productivity of the IT departments of our customers. In addition, on November 1, 2007 we entered into a new revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank and other lenders. The new credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150 million and expires on November 1, 2012. Our ability to achieve our strategies and objectives is subject to a number of factors some of which we may not be able to control. See "Forward-Looking Statements". 22 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operational data from the consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of total revenues and the percentage change in such items compared to the prior period: <Table> <Caption> Percentage of Percentage of Total Revenues Total Revenues ------------------ ------------------ Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, Period- September 30, Period- ------------------ to-Period ------------------ to-Period 2007 2006 Change 2007 2006 Change ----- ----- --------- ----- ----- --------- REVENUE: Software license fees 23.2% 19.7% 23.5% 20.2% 21.2% (5.5)% Maintenance fees 38.5 39.9 1.0 39.6 38.6 2.0 Professional services fees 38.3 40.4 (0.9) 40.2 40.2 (0.5) ----- ----- ----- ----- Total revenues 100.0 100.0 4.7 100.0 100.0 (0.6) ----- ----- ----- ----- OPERATING EXPENSES: Cost of software license fees 2.2 2.4 (5.7) 2.9 2.3 24.9 Cost of maintenance fees 3.4 3.4 4.2 3.7 3.4 8.7 Cost of professional services 33.7 35.9 (1.6) 35.4 36.1 (2.5) Technology development and support 8.0 10.3 (18.7) 9.2 9.7 (5.9) Sales and marketing 21.7 23.5 (3.3) 22.4 22.8 (2.5) Administrative and general 14.2 15.7 (5.1) 15.2 15.7 (3.4) Restructuring cost 6.2 0.0 n/a 6.0 0.0 n/a ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses 89.4 91.2 2.6 94.8 90.0 4.7 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income from operations 10.6 8.8 25.6 5.2 10.0 (48.6) Other income 1.8 3.7 (48.9) 1.9 3.7 (48.4) ----- ----- ----- ----- Income before income taxes 12.4 12.5 3.7 7.1 13.7 (48.5) Income tax provision 0.0 3.9 (100.3) 0.6 4.4 (86.5) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net income 12.4% 8.6% 50.8% 6.5% 9.3% (30.5)% ===== ===== ===== ===== </Table> SOFTWARE PRODUCTS Financial information for the products segment is as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 -------- -------- -------- -------- Revenue $186,312 $171,841 $347,324 $349,623 Expenses 106,441 114,260 222,319 223,853 -------- -------- -------- -------- Product contribution $ 79,871 $ 57,581 $125,005 $125,770 ======== ======== ======== ======== </Table> The products segment generated contribution margins of 42.9% and 33.5% during the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 36.0% for the first six months of both 2008 and 2007. Product expenses include cost of software license fees, cost of maintenance fees, technology development and support, and sales and marketing costs. The increase in margins for the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to an increase in license fees and a decrease in technology development and support and sales and marketing costs. 23 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES SOFTWARE PRODUCTS REVENUE Our software products are designed to enhance the effectiveness of key disciplines throughout the IT organization from application development and delivery to service management and IT portfolio management supporting all major enterprise computing platforms. Product revenue, which consists of software license fees and maintenance fees, comprised 61.7% and 59.6% of total revenue during the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 59.8% of total revenue during the first six months of both 2008 and 2007. Distributed software product revenue increased $17.9 million or 30.9% during the second quarter of 2008 to $75.8 million from $57.9 million during the second quarter of 2007 and increased $17.7 million or 15.2% during the first six months of 2008 to $133.6 million from $115.9 million during the first six months of 2007. The increases were due to license and maintenance fee growth as discussed below. Mainframe software product revenue decreased $3.5 million or 3.0% during the second quarter of 2008 to $110.5 million from $113.9 million during the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $20.0 million or 8.5% during the first six months of 2008 to $213.7 million from $233.7 million during the first six months of 2007. The decline during the second quarter was due to lower maintenance revenue. The decline in the first six months of 2008 was primarily due to decreased license and maintenance fees as discussed below. License revenue increased $13.3 million or 23.5% during the second quarter of 2008 to $70.0 million from $56.7 million during the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $6.9 million or 5.5% during the first six months of 2008 to $117.3 million from $124.2 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase during the second quarter was primarily related to a $13.0 million increase in distributed license fees related to our Vantage and Changepoint product lines. The decline during the first six months was primarily a result of decreased demand for capacity mainframe licenses in our United States operations, partially offset by increases in distributed license revenue. Fluctuations in foreign currencies positively impacted license fees by $2.2 million and $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2008 and first six months of 2008, respectively. Maintenance fees increased $1.2 million or 1.0% to $116.3 million during the second quarter of 2008 from $115.1 million during the second quarter of 2007 and increased $4.6 million to $230.0 million in the first six months of 2008 from $225.4 million in the first six months of 2007. Fluctuations in foreign currencies positively impacted maintenance fees by $3.5 million and $6.5 million during the second quarter of 2008 and first six months of fiscal 2008, respectively. Increases in distributed maintenance fees, across most product families, were partially offset by declines in mainframe maintenance fees. Product revenue by geographic location is presented in the table below (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 -------- -------- -------- -------- United States $ 98,236 $ 94,315 $183,646 $194,748 Europe and Africa 60,906 53,270 114,073 105,935 Other international operations 27,170 24,256 49,605 48,940 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total product revenue $186,312 $171,841 $347,324 $349,623 ======== ======== ======== ======== </Table> 24 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PRODUCT EXPENSES Product expenses include cost of software license fees, cost of maintenance fees, technology development and support costs and sales and marketing expenses. These expenses are discussed below. Cost of software license fees includes amortization of capitalized software, the cost of duplicating and disseminating products to customers (including associated hardware costs) and the cost of author royalties. For the second quarter of 2008, cost of software license fees decreased $0.4 million or 5.7% to $6.6 million from $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 and for the first six months of 2008 increased $3.4 million or 24.9% to $17.0 million from $13.6 million in the first six months of 2007. The increase in cost of software license fees for the first six months was primarily due to a $3.9 million capitalized software impairment charge associated with the restructuring program initiated during the first quarter of 2008 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). As a percentage of software license fees, costs of software license fees were 9.4% and 12.4% in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 14.5% (including 3.3% from the impairment charge) and 10.9% in the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cost of maintenance fees consists of the direct costs allocated to maintenance and product support such as helpdesk and technical support. Customers who subscribe to maintenance are also eligible to receive the benefit of new releases as well as support. New releases include significant research and development costs and are available to be licensed to new customers as well as maintenance customers. For the second quarter of 2008, cost of maintenance fees increased $0.4 million or 4.2% to $10.2 million from $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 and for the first six months of 2008 increased $1.8 million or 8.7% to $21.7 million from $19.9 million in the first six months of 2007. The increases in expense were primarily due to higher compensation and benefit costs, which started to occur during the middle of fiscal 2007 in order to meet product development and maintenance initiatives. As a percentage of maintenance fees, cost of maintenance fees were 8.8% and 8.5% in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively and 9.4% and 8.8% in the first half of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Technology development and support includes, primarily, the costs of programming personnel associated with product development and support less the amount of software development costs capitalized during the period. Also included are personnel costs associated with developing and maintaining internal systems and hardware/software costs required to support all technology initiatives. As a percentage of product revenue, costs of technology development and support were 13.0% and 17.3% in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively and 15.4% and 16.3% in the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Capitalization of internally developed software products begins when technological feasibility of the product is established. Total technology development and support costs incurred internally and capitalized in the second quarter and first six months of 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ----------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ------- -------- ------- ------- Technology development and support costs incurred $27,767 $33,739 $60,815 $66,337 Capitalized technology development and support costs (3,597) (3,995) (7,317) (9,477) ------- -------- ------- ------- Technology development and support costs reported $24,170 $29,744 $53,498 $56,860 ======= ======== ======= ======= </Table> 25 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Before the capitalization of internally developed software products, total technology development and support expenditures for the second quarter of 2008 decreased $6.0 million or 17.7%, to $27.8 million from $33.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 and for the first six months of 2008 decreased $5.5 million, or 8.3% to $60.8 million from $66.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007. The decreases were a result of the restructuring program initiated during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of personnel related costs associated with product sales and sales support and marketing for all our product offerings. For the second quarter of 2008, sales and marketing costs decreased $2.2 million or 3.3% to $65.5 million from $67.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 and for the first six months of fiscal 2008 decreased $3.3 million or 2.5% to $130.2 million from $133.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in sales and marketing costs for the second quarter was primarily attributable to lower salary costs due to decreased headcount as a result of the sales reorganization (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and lower marketing costs offset by higher commission expense due to the increase in license revenue. The six month decrease was primarily the result of reduced salary and marketing program costs. As a percentage of product revenue, sales and marketing costs were 35.1% and 39.4% in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively and 37.5% and 38.2% in the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Financial information for the professional services segment is as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 -------- -------- -------- -------- Revenue $115,659 $116,666 $234,036 $235,202 Expenses 101,970 103,645 206,047 211,260 -------- -------- -------- -------- Professional services contribution $ 13,689 $ 13,021 $ 27,989 $ 23,942 ======== ======== ======== ======== </Table> During the second quarter of 2008, the professional services segment generated a contribution margin of 11.8%, compared to 11.2% during the second quarter of 2007 and 12.0% and 10.2% during the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in contribution margin was primarily due to the improved performance of the application services operations. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES REVENUE We offer a broad range of IT services to help businesses make the most of their IT assets. Some of these services include outsourcing and co-sourcing, application services and management, product solutions, project management, enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management services. Revenue from professional services decreased $1.0 million or 0.9% during the second quarter of 2008 to $115.7 million compared to $116.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $1.2 million or 0.5% for the first six months 26 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES of 2008 to $234.0 million from $235.2 million in the first six months of 2007. The decreases in revenue were primarily due to a general slow down in customer spending on certain IT programs and on staff supplementation services, partially offset by a $2.9 million and $6.2 million increase in application services revenue during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. Professional services revenue by geographic location is presented in the table below (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 -------- -------- -------- -------- United States $ 96,407 $ 98,326 $196,127 $200,533 Europe and Africa 16,838 16,237 33,607 31,037 Other international operations 2,414 2,103 4,302 3,632 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total professional services revenue $115,659 $116,666 $234,036 $235,202 ======== ======== ======== ======== </Table> PROFESSIONAL SERVICES EXPENSES Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel-related costs of providing services, including billable staff, subcontractors and sales personnel. Cost of professional services decreased $1.6 million or 1.6% during the second quarter of 2008 to $102.0 million compared to $103.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $5.3 million or 2.5% during the first six months of 2008 to $206.0 million from $211.3 million during the first six months of 2007. The decrease in costs was primarily attributable to lower compensation and benefit costs due to a reduction in employee headcount as management continues to align headcount with customer demand for our services. 27 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CORPORATE AND OTHER EXPENSES Administrative and general expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the corporate executive, finance, human resources, administrative, legal, communications and investor relations departments. In addition, administrative and general expenses include all facility-related costs, such as rent, building depreciation, maintenance and utilities, associated with worldwide sales, professional services and software development offices. Administrative and general expenses decreased $2.3 million or 5.1% during the second quarter of 2008 to $42.9 million from $45.2 million during the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $3.1 million or 3.4% during the first six months of 2008 to $88.3 million from $91.4 million in the first six months of 2007. The decrease in costs for the second quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease in costs associated with the Director Phantom Stock Plan due to the reduction in our stock price at June 30, 2007 as compared to September 30, 2007, lower compensation costs resulting from a reduction in employee headcount and a reduction in third party recruiting fees, offset by an increase in foreign currency losses. The decrease in costs for the six month period was primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation costs, a decrease in costs associated with the Director Phantom Stock Plan that resulted from the decrease in our stock price at March 31, 2007 as compared to September 30, 2007 and lower third party recruiting fees. Other income, net ("other income") consists primarily of interest income realized from investments, interest earned on deferred customer receivables and income/losses generated from our investments in partially owned companies. Other income decreased $5.2 million or 49.1% during the second quarter of 2008 to $5.4 million compared to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 and decreased $10.4 million or 48.4% during the first six months of 2008 to $11.1 million from $21.5 million during the first six months of 2007. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decline in investment interest income resulting from a lower average cash equivalent and investment balance during the respective periods of 2008 compared to 2007. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The income tax benefit was $34,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a provision of $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2007, representing an effective tax rate of 0% and 31.2%, respectively. The income tax provision was $3.5 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $25.7 million for the first six months of 2007, representing an effective rate of 8.5% and 32.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2007 to 2008 is primarily due to a benefit of approximately $12 million recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This benefit relates primarily to the recognition of a deferred tax asset for Brownfield Redevelopment credits which are available to offset Michigan Business Tax (MBT) liabilities through the Company's fiscal year 2022 (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). For the first six months of 2008, the MBT benefit was partially offset by an additional $2.1 million charge relating to the tax receivable previously recorded in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007. The previously recorded receivable had included an interest income component which was subject to income taxes, but for which the Company had not recorded a tax provision. The Company has considered both the qualitative and quantitative effects of this error on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as well as the qualitative and quantitative effects of including the error correction in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and the six months ended September 30, 2007 and year ended March 31, 2008, and has concluded that the effects on the financial statements are not material. 28 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND ACCRUAL In the second quarter of 2008, we continued with our initiative to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs (as discussed in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We incurred charges of $18.7 million and $34.8 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. Actions initiated during the first six months of 2008 are expected to result in approximately $75.0 million of annualized cost reductions, primarily in technology development and support and sales and marketing. An additional charge of $1.7 million is expected in the third quarter of 2008 relating to the restructuring actions undertaken in the first six month of 2008. We continue to evaluate our business processes to identify ways to reduce costs with the goal of reducing operating expenses by an additional $20.0 million to $25.0 million in annualized costs during fiscal 2008. Further expense reductions are likely to result in additional restructuring charges. Such restructuring charges are expected to be under $10 million for the third quarter of 2008. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at September 30, 2007. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements, because their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that information since the end of fiscal 2007. 29 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents and investments totaled approximately $322.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities: Net cash from operating activities decreased $19.9 million during the first six months of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007. The decrease was primarily a result of the $17.7 million of severance and other payments associated with the restructuring program initiated in 2008. Our cash provided by operating activities is also impacted by changes in working capital accounts. Changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue have typically had the largest impact on our cash flows as we allow for deferred payment terms on multi-year products contracts. This net change was $33.7 million lower in the first six months of 2008 compared to comparable period in 2007 primarily due to a decline in collections multi-year products deals. Changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses are usually higher during the first six months of a fiscal year as commissions and bonuses accrued for at March 31, 2007 are paid during the first quarter. This change was lower during the first six months of 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007 due to a $8.7 million increase in the accrual for restructuring costs. The change in prepaid expenses and other current assets was a result of collecting $10.0 million of fiscal 2007 IBM settlement proceeds during the first six months of 2008. There were no fiscal 2006 IBM settlement proceeds paid during the first six months of 2007. As of September 30, 2007, $12.3 million is accrued related to restructuring actions. We continue to review our business processes for additional cost reductions that could cause us to incur further restructuring costs during 2008 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We believe cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet operating cash needs for the foreseeable future. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities: Net cash provided by investing activities during the first six months of 2008 was $56.8 million compared to net cash used for investing activities of $31.1 million during the first six months of 2007, an increase of $87.9 million. The increase was primarily due to the $71.4 million net reduction in our investments. The sale of our investments was primarily used to fund the stock repurchase initiative. The remaining increase in net cash was primarily due to the fact that we had no acquisitions during the first six months of 2008. In the first six months of 2007, we acquired SteelTrace Limited for $20.7 million in cash. We continue to evaluate business acquisition opportunities that fit our strategic plans. For the six months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, capital expenditures for property and equipment and capitalized research and software development totaled $14.6 million and $20.0 million, respectively. We also continue to evaluate business acquisition opportunities that fit our strategic plans. 30 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Net cash used in financing activities: Net cash used by financing activities during the first six months of 2008 was $161.1 million compared to net cash used for financing activities of $186.3 million during the first six months of 2007, a decrease of $25.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $63.2 million increase in net proceeds from exercise of stock options, due to the increase in the stock price during the first six months of 2008, partially offset by a $37.6 million increase in cash used to repurchase our common stock. The Company has repurchased common stock under two plans, the "Discretionary Plan" and the "10b5-1 Plan". Under the Discretionary Plan, the Board of Directors has authorized, since May 2003, the repurchase of a total of up to $950.0 million of our common stock, including an additional $200 million authorized in August 2007. Our purchases of stock under the Discretionary Plan may occur on the open market, through negotiated or block transactions based upon market and business conditions subject to applicable legal limitations. During the first six months of 2008, we repurchased 12.6 million shares of our common stock under the Discretionary Plan at an average price of $8.78 per share for a total of $110.8 million. As of September 30, 2007, approximately $192.7 million remains authorized for future purchases under the Discretionary Plan. Under the 10b5-1 Plan, the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to a total of 50.0 million shares of our common stock, subject to price, volume and timing constraints set forth in the plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through September 30, 2007. A broker selected by us had the authority to repurchase shares on our behalf under the terms and limitations specified in the plan without our discretion, allowing repurchase activity to continue at times when we might otherwise be prevented from repurchasing shares under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. During the first six months of 2008, we repurchased 11.3 million shares for an aggregate $109.8 million and settled an additional $7.2 million of trades that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2007 under the 10b5-1 Plan. In August 2007 the 10b5-1 Plan was terminated. The Company intends to continue repurchasing shares under its Discretionary Plan, funded primarily through the Company's operating cash flow. Over the long term the goal is to reduce the Company's weighted average share count to approximately 200 million shares. Management intends to request approval from the Board of Directors for additional repurchase authorization from time to time toward this goal. On November 1, 2007, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the "new credit facility") with Comerica Bank and other lenders to provide additional leverage to the Company. The new credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150 million and expires on November 1, 2012. The new credit facility also has an accordion feature to increase the facility by $150 million, subject to receiving additional commitments from lenders and certain other conditions. The new facility also limits additional borrowing outside of the facility to $250 million. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the material terms of the new credit facility. The new credit facility replaces a $100 million revolving credit facility which matured on October 26, 2007. No borrowings have occurred under this or the previous facility since inception. 31 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and therefore, does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact this Statement will have on our financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," which permits entities to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value measurement election is irrevocable and subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of our eligible financial instruments. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Our contractual obligations are described in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007. At September 30, 2007, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $18.2 million. We anticipate settlement of $2.0 million with the taxing authorities in the upcoming twelve months. We are not able to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining amounts will ultimately be settled. Except as described above or elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to those obligations or arrangements outside of the ordinary course of business since the end of fiscal 2007. 32 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed primarily to market risks associated with movements in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. There have been no material changes to our foreign exchange risk management strategy or our investment standards subsequent to March 31, 2007, therefore the market risks remain substantially unchanged since we filed the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been detected. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, to cause information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 33 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Other than the risk factor added below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. OUR STOCK REPURCHASE PLANS MAY BE SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DECREASE IN OUR STOCK PRICE. We have repurchased shares of our common stock in the market during the past several years pursuant to a non-discretionary plan which complied with SEC Rule 10b5-1 and a second arrangement pursuant to which management is permitted to determine the amount and timing of repurchases in its discretion subject to an overall limit. Our ability and willingness to repurchase shares is subject to, among other things, the availability of cash resources and credit at rates and upon terms we believe are prudent. In August 2007, due to current unfavorable conditions in the credit market, we decided it was prudent not to take on any debt at this time to fund additional stock buyback activity and discontinued our Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan. Stock market conditions, the market value of our common stock and other factors may also make it imprudent for us from time to time to engage in repurchase activity. There can be no assurance that we will continue to repurchase shares at historic levels or at all. If our repurchase program is curtailed, our stock price may fall. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS The following table sets forth, the repurchases of common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2007: <Table> <Caption> Approximate dollar value or maximum number of shares Total number that may yet be purchased of shares under the plans or programs Total Average purchased as --------------------------- number price part of Discretionary Rule 10b5-1 of shares paid per publicly Plan (a) Plan (b) Period purchased share announced plans ($) (shares) ------ ---------- -------- --------------- ------------- ----------- For the month ended July 31, 2007 4,749,000 $9.98 4,749,000 $ 88,717,000 23,935,000 For the month ended August 31, 2007 11,520,000 8.95 11,520,000 214,769,000 20,685,000 For the month ended September 30, 2007 2,852,000 7.73 2,852,000 192,725,000 -- ---------- ---------- Total 19,121,000 $9.02 19,121,000 ========== ========== </Table> (a) In August, 2007, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of common stock. Our purchases of stock may occur on the open market or in negotiated or block transactions based upon market and business conditions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the discretionary share repurchase plan will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase thereunder. 34 COMPUWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II.
