BUSINESS GENERAL MRO Software is the leading provider of asset and service management solutions. The Company's integrated suite of applications optimizes performance, improves productivity and service levels, and enables asset-related sourcing and procurement across the entire spectrum of our customers' strategic assets. The Company's asset management solutions allow customers to manage the complete lifecycle of strategic assets including: planning, procurement, deployment, tracking, maintenance and retirement. Using MRO Software's solutions, customers improve production reliability, labor efficiency, material optimization, software license compliance, lease management, warranty and service management and provisioning across their asset base. Using our products, our customers manage and optimize the value derived from their assets used for production, facilities management, IT asset management, including hardware and software, and their transportation assets. MRO Software was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1968 as Project Software & Development, Inc. (PSDI). In fiscal 2001, the Company changed its name to MRO Software, Inc. and its trading symbol to "MROI". Our headquarters are located in Bedford, Massachusetts, U.S.A., and our website may be viewed at www.mro.com. Through a link on the Investor Relations section of our website, we make available all the following filings as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"): our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All such filings are available free of charge. During the past two years, the Company has made significant investments in the development of our next generation of Maximo: Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES). In March 2005, the Company released MXES. MXES is a comprehensive suite of products all built on a single, common, web-architected platform. MXES combines enhanced Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) functionality with new service management capabilities that together improve the effectiveness of asset management strategies. MXES includes all the functionality required to provide IT Service Management (ITSM) capabilities which includes advanced IT Asset Management (ITAM), service management, and a full-featured service desk, all based on the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) guidelines. The Company markets its MXES solution under several product names: Maximo and Maximo Enterprise for EAM applications, Maximo Discovery for autodiscovery of IT assets, Maximo IT Asset Management (ITAM) for advanced IT Asset Management (ITAM), and Maximo Service Desk, a full-featured service desk. Most products within MXES can each be implemented separately as a stand-alone solution, or they can readily be deployed together. MXES enables compliance with contracts, service level agreements, internal corporate standards, and government regulations. Our solutions enhance asset management and ensure service performance of production, facility, transportation and IT assets. In addition to MXES, the Company markets several solutions for specific industries. These solutions include specific functionality and capabilities for the following industries: Nuclear Energy, Transmission & Distribution (Utilities), Oil & Gas, Transportation and Pharmaceuticals. These specialized solutions combine core Maximo capabilities with domain-specific enhancements and often include or integrate with technology and capabilities provided by a technology partner company to meet the unique needs of these particular industries. We have over thirty years of experience understanding the complexities and challenges of asset management. We have focused on building our business strategies around key strengths, such as our commitment to research and development, our diverse customer base, and our domain knowledge of complex asset management business problems. We believe that our extensive expertise in asset management solutions for production, facilities, transportation, and IT -- combined with our vertical domain knowledge in many industries - - can and will distinguish us from our competitors. Page 1 In Fiscal 2006, we plan to continue to improve our financial metrics and to focus on growth opportunities, thereby increasing shareholder value. We believe that our steadfast focus on this holistic approach to asset and service management will drive future success and allow the Company to continue to be a stable, profitable and growth-oriented company. The Company reports all its revenue in one reportable business segment. We market our products mainly through a direct sales organization in all geographies, with greater emphasis on distributors and resellers outside of North America. MRO Software has sales offices throughout North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Latin America. The Company also markets its products through indirect sales channels to supplement its direct sales force. Financial information relating to business segments and international operations can be found in Note N of the Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. PRODUCTS The Maximo Enterprise Suite is a family of multiple products all built on a single, common platform. Most products within MXES are each a stand-alone solution that can be implemented separately from any of the others, or they can readily be deployed together. MAXIMO Maximo is an EAM solution targeted for small to medium-sized companies that require robust asset management capabilities. Maximo helps companies to optimize asset performance, reduce costs and improve workforce efficiencies. Maximo delivers asset management, work management, service management, contracts management, materials management and procurement management capabilities for production, facilities and transportation assets. MAXIMO ENTERPRISE Maximo Enterprise is a comprehensive EAM solution that helps large and multi-national companies in asset-intensive industries to maximize the lifetime value of complex assets critical to the company's business. Using this solution, customers can increase their return on asset investment while decreasing their operating costs, including greater work force efficiency, inventory/material optimization and lower supplier transaction costs. Maximo Enterprise supports the six critical business processes that allow customers to better align asset and service management with business objectives: asset management, work management, service management, contracts management, materials management and procurement management capabilities. Maximo Enterprise provides these capabilities for production, facilities and transportation assets. MAXIMO ITSM Maximo ITSM (IT Service Management) solutions is an integrated group of comprehensive solutions that allows users to effectively track and manage IT assets, resources, changes and service levels using ITIL best practices. This solution set facilitates more effective IT planning, helps customers reduce the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining assets, and mitigates the risk of compliance with software and warranty contracts. Maximo ITSM, as well as the entire Maximo Enterprise Suite, is built with an asset repository, also known as a configuration management database (CMDB), common across the entire product family. Maximo Discovery provides a comprehensive view of all network hardware and software including PCs, servers and network devices, and detects the physical location of the assets. It is a fast, accurate and easy to deploy auto-discovery tool. Maximo IT Asset Management (ITAM) provides customers with the information required to track and manage IT assets efficiently through their entire life cycle. The solution aggregates the data used to manage the inventory, financial and contract management of IT assets, allowing reconciliation between authorized and deployed assets. Page 2 MAXIMO SERVICE DESK Maximo Service Desk is an enterprise service management solution ready to help companies create service efficiencies, reduce service outages and streamline service desk operations. Maximo Service Desk provides users with the ability to create, manage and monitor Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with features like notifications, escalations and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboard. Maximo Service Desk also supports and enables the major Service Support functions according to IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), including advanced processes such as incident, problem, change, configuration and release managment. MAXIMO OPTIONS A variety of options can be added on to expand the capabilities of MXES, including the following: Maximo Calibration, Maximo Change Manager, Maximo Contract & Procurement Manager, Maximo Incident & Problem Manager, Maximo Integration Products, Maximo Mobile Manager, Maximo Navigator, Maximo Project Manager and Maximo SLA Manager. ONLINE COMMERCE SERVICES (OCS) Maximo OCS is a suite of hosted technologies and applications that enable Maximo and other purchasing systems (such as those offered by SAP AG, Ariba, Oracle Corporation and others) to view supplier catalogs, procure electronically, receive acknowledgements, view real-time price and stock availability, and check orders online. This service also provides suppliers with the capabilities to host an on-line searchable electronic catalog, and with the tools for the management, customization and publication of electronic catalog content. Our customers have the ability to provide a Web storefront with comparison tools, shopping cart, transaction processing and payment processing. OCS also provides suppliers with the capability to provide real-time pricing and availability to buyers as well as real-time transaction processing by integrating with the suppliers' "back-end" ERP systems. PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE Maximo components are built on Sun Microsystem's Java technology, specifically the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition ("J2EE"), to take full advantage of today's enterprise environment. J2EE defines a standard for developing multi-tier enterprise applications. J2EE simplifies enterprise applications by basing them on standardized, modular components, by providing a complete set of services to those components, and by handling many details of application behavior automatically. Maximo is the first and most comprehensive J2EE asset management solution to be developed and commercially deployed on a standards-based, pure-Internet architecture. Maximo, with its depth of functionality and industry-leading architecture, was designed with global organizations in mind. J2EE provides application portability, scalability, inter-operability and security models for Internet applications. For example, it has an extensive library of routines for Internet protocols like HTTP and FTP. This makes creating and managing network connections much easier, enabling applications to open and access objects across the Internet via URLs with the same ease as accessing a local file system. Also, because HTTP is a request-response protocol and individual requests are treated independently, an Internet application needs a mechanism for identifying a particular client and the state of any "conversation" it is having with that client. The Maximo Web servers and applications servers provide session management capabilities, and can easily manage session states for Internet-based connections. Maximo's use of open standards supports a broad range of commercial server platforms, network operating systems and communications protocols. These open standards provide customers with the flexibility to match their computing resources to their needs, and facilitates tight integration to critical business systems. These standards also provide the ability to collaborate with virtually any procurement network, marketplace or on a one-on-one basis with suppliers. Our OCS solutions use an Internet-oriented, scalable architecture to support a full Web browser-based environment. OCS allows real-time communications between buyers Page 3 and suppliers based on XML standards. OCS applications are hosted by the Company at an outsourced hosting facility. STANDARDS BASED INTEROPERABILITY Enterprises today are focused on operational and procedural efficiencies that will make them more competitive and responsive across the board. They require business systems that will address their business needs efficiently and adapt to changes as their business needs or environment changes. They require systems that will collaborate within their enterprise and with their partners and customers. These products are based upon our extensive experience in providing integration with a number of major marketplaces and ERP systems such as those offered by SAP AG and Oracle Corporation. Our Maximo interoperability framework supports collaboration between Maximo and those enterprise business systems for which this requirement most frequently arises. This allows enterprises to focus on their operational procedures and provides them with the flexibility to choose which business system to use to manage specific business processes. SERVICES CUSTOMER SUPPORT A high level of customer service and technical support is critical to customer satisfaction in our industry. Many of the Company's customers implement our products in complex, large-scale IT environments on which the success of their organizations depend. The Company believes that its approach to support has been and will continue to be a significant factor in the market acceptance of its products. As of September 30, 2005, the Company employed a customer support staff of 101 employees operating out of the Company's corporate headquarters in Massachusetts and four international technical response centers located in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Brazil as well as in seven satellite support offices in China, Korea, Mexico, Japan, France, Italy and McLean, Virginia. Support services are provided on a seven-day week, 24-hour day basis using our support centers in United Kingdom, Australia, United States (Bedford, MA) and Canada. Subscribers to the Company's annual support services are entitled to receive (i) customer service and technical support by telephone, fax, online via the Internet and electronic mail, (ii) a newsletter and periodic technical bulletins, (iii) an invitation to attend the Company's annual user group meeting, and (iv) periodic software updates and software upgrades. Support contracts are a stable source of recurring revenue. The Company also provides premium support via resources dedicated to meeting the needs of our larger enterprise-wide clients. Premium Support is a fee-based service provided in addition to all of the standard support provided to all of our clients. PROFESSIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES The Company offers services designed to assist customers in completing the process of successfully implementing the Company's business solutions and getting the most value from Maximo. As of September 30, 2005, the Company employed a consulting and training staff of 270 employees. The Company's international distributors also provide services within their geographic territories. The Company provides consulting services to assist customers in planning and carrying out the implementation of the Company's solutions. In some cases, customers install and implement Maximo systems and perform any necessary modifications themselves with only limited assistance from the Company. In other cases, particularly where an integrated solution is required, the Company provides comprehensive implementation planning, project management, network communications and system integration services. The Company also contracts with third-party consultants as needed in order to augment its services offerings. The Company conducts comprehensive training programs covering Company applications and concepts for its end-users and partners. Training is offered at the Company's Page 4 headquarters in Massachusetts and at regional centers in California, Georgia, Virginia, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The Company also offers on-site training classes at customer sites upon request, and Web-based training consisting of a series of self-paced lessons and virtual classroom training. CUSTOMERS The Company's customers operate in a broad range of vertical industries including: facility/property management, discrete and process manufacturing, public sector, oil and gas, transportation, aviation, utilities, financial services, consumer/retail, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, education, health care and professional services. The Company's products have been installed and are supported in all major markets worldwide. Local language support is provided in many of these markets. SALES AND MARKETING The Company markets its products in the United States through a combination of an internal marketing organization, a direct sales organization, and value-added resellers and distributors. As of September 30, 2005, we employed a marketing and direct sales organization of 119 employees operating out of our Massachusetts headquarters and sales offices in Georgia and Virginia. In addition, the Company markets its products outside the United States through an internal marketing organization, and a direct sales force of 105 employees operating from sales offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand and the United Kingdom and through distributors and resellers in parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America. Approximately 41% of the Company's total revenues were derived from sales outside the United States for each of the fiscal years ended September 30 2005, 2004 and 2003. The United Kingdom represented approximately 15% of these international sales for each of the fiscal years ended September 30 2005, 2004, and 2003. Approximately 11% of the Company's total long-lived assets were located outside the United States for each of the fiscal years ended September 2005, 2004, and 2003. The Company markets its products through advertising campaigns in national trade periodicals, direct and electronic mail, public relations activities, seminars and its Web site (http://www.mro.com). These efforts are supplemented by listings in relevant trade directories, exhibitions at trade shows and conference appearances. Initial leads are qualified by our tele-marketing operation before being turned over to either the direct sales force or tele-sales. In certain situations, the Company uses resellers that are located around the world to supplement our direct sales force in territories where the Company does not have subsidiaries or a strong direct sales infrastructure. The sales cycle for our products, from the initial sales presentation to the issuance of a purchase order, typically ranges from six to twelve months. The Company believes that customers generally choose the Company's products and services based on the features they provide and upon a preference for the product architecture, reduced implementation time, extensive domain expertise, deep functionality and ease of use, and the resulting low total cost of ownership and demonstrable return on investment. Delivery lead times for the Company's products are short and, consequently, substantially all of the Company's software revenues in each quarter result from the orders received in the quarter. Accordingly, the Company only maintains a backlog for its consulting and training services and believes that its backlog at any point in time is not a reliable indicator of future sales and earnings. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES MRO Software's alliance program is designed to bring value to global companies through a collaboration with world-class product and service partners. Our alliance program enhances the Company's market reach and potential revenue streams while at the same time ensuring that exacting standards of quality are met in partnering engagements. Page 5 The Company works closely with major consultancies and systems integrators and has formed alliances with such firms as IBM Corporation, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), BearingPoint, Inc. and Accenture LLP. The Company also works closely with consulting and systems integration firms that offer deep domain expertise in very select core markets that complement ours. Examples would include CGI-AMS (part of CGI Group, Inc.) and EMA, Inc. In addition, the Company has partnerships with specific solution providers that offer a complementary solution to Maximo, such as Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), Intergraph Corporation, Meridium, Inc., Mobile Data Solutions, Inc., Kronos, Inc. and Primavera Systems, Inc. The Company has also developed managed services, reseller and OEM relationships. We have agreements with partners such as ABB Service Worldwide (an affiliate of Asea Brown Boveri), SAIC, Accenture LLP, and others, who provide outsourced services offerings based on our products, or resell our products using their own sales resources. We market Syclo, LLC products as part of the Maximo Mobile solution, and we market Centennial Software, LLC products as part of Maximo Discovery. The Company has licensing arrangements with companies that offer technology that enhances the performance of our solutions, broadens their applicability and or optimizes their functionality. The Company re-brands and sells some of its technology partners' products on an OEM basis, while products from other technology partners are either embedded in our solutions or offered as separate add-ons. We continuously monitor the marketplace for partners with leading edge technology conducive to the advancements that we have planned for our own products and services, and create new agreements as appropriate. Technology partners include: BEA Software, IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corp., Sun Microsystems, Inc., Syclo LLC, Centennial Software, LLC and Actuate Corporation. COMPETITION The Company's suite of solutions has many diverse competitors offering a wide range of differing products, services and technologies. The Company expects competition to intensify as current competitors expand their product offerings and new competitors enter the market. The current competitors include traditional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) providers such as SAP AG and Oracle Corporation. Our competitors also include niche providers such as Datastream Systems Inc. and Indus International that focus on segments of the EAM market. BMC Software, Computer Associates and Peregrine Systems (which has agreed to be acquired by Hewlett-Packard Company) are competitors that focus on the ITAM market. With the expansion into the IT Service Desk and IT Help Desk markets, the Company expects competition in these markets to include BMC Software, Computer Associates, and Hewlett-Packard Company. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company has made substantial investments in research and software product development. The Company's total product development expenses in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $29.6 million, $28.5 million and $26.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, the Company's research and development staff consisted of 235 employees. The Company's development organization is comprised of relatively small teams of senior level developers and engineers, who focus on different areas of development. The Company maintains development centers in Massachusetts, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, Canada and Brazil. We also utilize the services of offshore development resources provided by a company in India to supplement our development efforts. In fiscal 2005, the Company focused its development efforts on the MXES product. We have also focused on developing Maximo Industry Solutions that meet the unique needs of different vertical industries by offering pre-configured, industry-specific, focused applications delivered on the Maximo technology platform. We will continue to develop enhancements to our Maximo products, as well as, to continue to research and investigate new technologies that would complement the Company's product strategies in the future. Page 6 PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES The Company has registered a number of its trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Registrations with equivalent offices in many foreign countries in which the Company or its distributors do business have been obtained or are in process. The Company has obtained two U. S. Patents - (no. 6,325,522 B2) for inventory sharing as it relates to electronic commerce and (no. 6,519,588 B1) covering a proprietary system and method for representing structured information. The Company has filed or intends to file patent applications in other countries within key geographies for both. The Company regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect its rights with a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized parties to copy or reverse-engineer portions of the Company's products. While the Company's competitive position could conceivably be threatened by its inability to protect its proprietary information, the Company believes that patent, copyright and trademark protection are less important to the Company's success than other factors such as knowledge, ability and experience of the Company's personnel, and ongoing product development, support and innovation. The Company's software products are usually licensed to customers under a perpetual, non-transferable, non-exclusive license that stipulates how many users may access the system. The Company relies on both "shrink wrap" or "click wrap" license agreements, and physically executed agreements. A shrink wrap license agreement is a printed license agreement included with packaged software that sets forth the terms and conditions under which the purchaser can use the product, and purports to bind the purchaser to such terms and conditions by its acceptance and purchase of the software. A click wrap license agreement is displayed to an end-user during the online registration and delivery process, and purports to bind the end-user to its terms and conditions when the end-user acknowledges and agrees to those terms and conditions via an interactive process. Certain provisions of the Company's shrink-wrap and click wrap licenses, including provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of the licensed program, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States. PRODUCTION The principal materials and components used in the Company's software products are CD-ROMs containing software and documentation, and occasionally hard copy installation guides. The Company occasionally uses third-party vendors to print user manuals, packaging and related materials. The majority of CD-ROM duplication is done by the Company's manufacturing and distribution facility located at our corporate headquarters. The Company also offers documentation to its customers via its secured, customer support Web site. To date, the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of all components and materials and has not experienced any material difficulties or delays in manufacture and assembly of its products or materials due to product defects. EMPLOYEES As of September 30, 2005, the Company had 924 full-time employees including sales, marketing and related functions, product research and development, customer support, training and consulting services, finance and administration, information technology, human resources, manufacturing and office services. The Company's employees are not represented by any collective bargaining organization, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company believes that its relations with employees are good. ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS The nature of forward-looking information is that such information involves significant assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Certain of our public documents and statements made by our authorized officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives acting on our behalf may include forward-looking information which will be influenced by the factors described below and by other assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking information is based on assumptions, estimates, forecasts and projections regarding our future results as well as the future effectiveness of our strategic plans and our operational decisions. Forward-looking Page 7 statements made by or on behalf of us are subject to the risk that the forecasts, projections and expectations of management, or assumptions underlying such forecasts, projections and expectations, may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, actual results and our implementation of our plans and operations may differ materially from forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us. The following discussion identifies certain important factors that could affect our actual results and actions and could cause such results and actions to differ materially from forward-looking statements. WE DEPEND SUBSTANTIALLY ON OUR MAXIMO EAM PRODUCT. Most of our revenues are derived from the licensing of our Maximo EAM family of products and sales of related services and support. Our financial performance depends largely on continued market acceptance of these products. We believe that continued market acceptance and our revenue stability and growth will largely depend on our ability to continue to enhance and broaden the capabilities of these products. If we are unable to continue to enhance and improve Maximo EAM so that it delivers the capabilities required by existing and potential customers and remains competitive with other products in the market, our revenues, margins and results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. THE MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS ARE MATURE AND SATURATED AND MAY PRESENT LIMITED OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH, AND ARE CROWDED WITH LARGER COMPETITORS THAT MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES. Maximo has been the industry-leading plant floor capital asset maintenance product for a number of years, and we have acquired a large number of customers in this market. However, most large industrial organizations have made significant investments in systems that support the maintenance of their capital assets, and opportunities for new Maximo sales in the EAM market are in a state of continuous decline. In addition, our new ITAM and service desk products represent new entrants into mature markets that are currently served by larger competitors, and that are not growing. - The emergence and growth of the EAM, ITAM and service desk markets have attracted a large number of strong competitors, and most of the largest software companies that sell into complementary markets have developed competing EAM, ITAM or service desk products. - In the EAM market, large ERP vendors have developed products that compete with Maximo EAM and that are tightly integrated with the rest of their ERP product suites. In the ITAM and service desk markets, larger companies than ours have developed competing products that are delivered as part of a broader product offering. While our products may have technical or functional advantages over those of our competition, these companies are all larger than ours, they may have the ability to quickly eliminate our competitive advantages, and they are able to market their products as part of a larger solution and take advantage of customers' desire to consolidate their information technology (IT) systems onto fewer platforms. It is likely that these markets will continue to mature, there will be fewer sales opportunities for the Company within the EAM market, and competitive forces will put downward pressure on our average sales prices and rates of success. To be competitive in the EAM market, we have made significant investments in Maximo EAM to meet the needs of specific industries in which we have a presence, such as the nuclear energy, transportation, power generation, transmission and distribution, and other industries. We refer to these industry-specific Maximo offerings as "Industry Solutions." To address the ITAM and service desk markets, we have invested heavily in the development and release of MXES. While we continue to strengthen our Maximo EAM offering, and while we offer our products as an integrated suite that manages all of our customers' critical assets in a manner that none of our competitors are able, these efforts may not be sufficient to overcome the effects of maturity, saturation and intense competition in our markets, and our revenues, margins, results of operation and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Page 8 OUR EFFORTS TO REACH INTO NEW MARKETS WITH NEW PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. Given the maturity and saturation of the traditional EAM market, in order to maintain revenues at their current levels and to grow our business, we have recently broadened our product offerings in order to develop additional sources of revenues, and we continue to do so. With the initial release of Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES), in March 2005, we have delivered products that address the Help Desk and Service Desk markets, and these markets are new to us. We are planning significant enhancements to this initial release, and will continue to broaden this offering. Our continuing development of MXES and of our Maximo EAM Industry Solutions, and our ability to derive revenue and grow, is subject to the following risks, among others: - We may not be able to develop and market our new products on time, with acceptable quality or with functions and features that meet the requirements of customers in these markets. - The MXES products may not contain all of the functionality deemed necessary by prospective buyers in these markets, and certain of our competitors in these new markets also offer complementary and sometimes fully integrated products that we do not offer. It may take longer than we anticipate for us to establish our presence in new markets, develop a robust and dependable flow of sales opportunities and establish predictable closure rates and revenue streams. - It is possible that our sales, service or support personnel may not be adequately trained and/or staffed to sell, implement or support the new products. Newly developed products require a higher level of development, distribution and support expenditures in the early stages of their product life cycles. - In the event that our development efforts do not progress as intended, or if our new product releases or technologies are not successful in the markets they are intended to address, we may increase our rate of expenditure in this area over and above the level of investment experienced in the past or previously projected, which could have a material adverse affect on our results of operation or financial condition. - We may not derive revenues from MXES in proportion to our development investment and sales efforts, and those efforts may serve as a significant distraction from our efforts to maintain revenues at current levels in our traditional EAM market. - Our positioning of the combination of our traditional EAM products and our ITAM and service desk products in a single offering as a logical suite of products may not be accepted in the marketplace. As a result of this and other factors, we may not be able to benefit from the trend among customers to consolidate their IT systems, and we may not be successful in our attempts to "cross-sell" our new products into our existing accounts, or our traditional EAM products to customers primarily interested in our new products. If any of our newly developed products do not gain market acceptance and generate revenues from new industries or markets, we may not be able to grow our business or maintain revenues at current levels, and our revenues, margins, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. OUR SALES EFFORTS DEPEND IN PART ON STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND RESELLER ARRANGEMENTS WITH OTHER COMPANIES. We have entered into strategic relationships with various larger companies, such as IBM, SAIC, BearingPoint and Accenture LLP. In order to generate revenue through these relationships, each party must coordinate with and support the other's sales and marketing efforts, and each party must make significant sales and marketing investments. Our ability to generate revenues through these relationships depends in large part upon the efforts of these other companies, which are outside of our control. The efforts of these companies may in turn be influenced by factors Page 9 internal to these companies that impact their desire or ability to execute, by changes in their strategies, or by developments in their respective industries or markets, that we fail to anticipate. In addition, we are renewing our focus on generating software license sales through value-added resellers, systems integrators and other indirect sales channels. The Company may have difficulty or we may experience delays in establishing the infrastructure necessary to initiate, maintain and support these channel relationships, and these relationships may either not materialize or they may fail to produce additional sales, at all or within the timeframe that we currently anticipate. To the extent that these channels are focused on our new product offerings, they are vulnerable to unknown problems with our new products or gaps in our new offerings. As a company we do not have experience in supporting channel relationships in this new market, and we may fail to develop the infrastructure or deliver the resources necessary to successfully support these new channel relationships. We may not derive revenues from in proportion to our investment in channel sales, and those efforts may serve as a significant distraction from our direct sales efforts. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH THE RAPID CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY AND CUSTOMER DEMAND THAT CHARACTERIZE OUR INDUSTRY, OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION COULD BE IMPAIRED. The computer software industry is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and frequent product introductions and enhancements by us and by our competitors. Our success depends on our abilities to enhance our current products, to develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments, to respond to evolving customer requirements and changing industry standards, to offer functionality and other innovations that are unique to our products and superior to those of our competitors, and ultimately to achieve market acceptance. In particular, we believe that we must continue to innovate and develop new functionality, to respond quickly to users' needs for new functionality and to advances in hardware and operating systems, and that we must continue to create products that conform to industry standards regarding the communication and interoperability among software, hardware and communications products of many different vendors. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments and changes in market definitions or changes in customer requirements within particular market segments, or if we have any significant delays in product development or introduction, then we could lose competitiveness and revenues. OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS AND TO SEASONAL VARIATION. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, significant period-to-period fluctuations in revenues and operating results. In addition, our quarterly revenues and operating results have fluctuated historically due to the number and timing of product introductions and enhancements, customers delaying their purchasing decisions in anticipation of new product releases, the budgeting and purchasing cycles of customers, the timing of product shipments and the timing of marketing and product development expenditures. We typically realize a significant portion of our revenue from sales of software licenses in the last two weeks of each quarter, frequently even in the last few days of a quarter. Failure to close a small number of large software license contracts may have a significant impact on revenues for the quarter and could, therefore, result in significant fluctuations in quarterly revenues and operating results, and divergence of those results from our expectations. Accordingly, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE MARKETS WE SERVE. The markets for strategic asset management software such as Maximo EAM, Maximo ITAM and Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES) are fragmented by geography, by market and industry segments, by hardware platform and by industry orientation, and are characterized by a large number of competitors including both independent software vendors and certain ERP vendors. Independent software vendors include DataStream Systems, Inc. and Indus International, Inc. We also compete with integrated ERP Page 10 systems, which include maintenance modules offered by several large vendors, such as SAP and Oracle. In the ITAM market we compete with companies such as Peregrine Systems (which has agreed to be acquired by Hewlett-Packard Company), Computer Associates and BMC Software. MXES will compete with all of these companies, and in the Help Desk and Service Desk markets MXES will compete with BMC Software (which recently acquired the Remedy help desk product) and Hewlett-Packard. Maximo also encounters competition from vendors of low cost maintenance management systems designed initially for use by a single user or limited number of users as vendors of these products upgrade their functionality and performance to enter the enterprise market. Certain of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, service and support and technological resources than we do. To the extent that such competitors increase their focus on the asset maintenance, planning and cost systems markets, or on the industrial supply chain market, we could be at a competitive disadvantage. Current or potential competitors may combine with each other or make strategic acquisitions, thereby increasing their ability to deliver products that better address the needs of our customers. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully should this occur and this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS SUBJECT US TO SPECIAL RISKS. A significant portion of our total revenues and expenses are derived and incurred from operations outside the U.S. Our ability to sell our products internationally is subject to a number of risks. General economic and political conditions in each country could adversely affect demand for our products and services. Exposure to currency fluctuations and greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable could affect our sales. We could be affected by the need to comply with a wide variety of foreign import laws, U.S. export laws and regulatory requirements. Trade protection measures and import and export licensing requirements subject us to additional regulation and may prevent us from shipping products to a particular market and increase our operating costs. OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS ARE DEPENDENT ON THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, AND FAILURE OF THESE PARTIES TO PERFORM AS EXPECTED, OR TERMINATION OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM, COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. We have entered into nonexclusive license agreements with other software vendors, pursuant to which we incorporate into our products and solutions software providing certain application development, hardware and network discovery, user interface, mobile technology, report writing, application servers, business intelligence, content and graphics capabilities developed by these companies. If we cannot renew these licenses (at all or on commercially reasonable terms), or if any of such vendors were to become unable to support and enhance their products, we could be required to devote additional resources to the enhancement and support of these products or to acquire or develop software providing equivalent capabilities, which could cause delays in the development and introduction of products incorporating such capabilities. WE MAY HAVE EXPOSURE TO ADDITIONAL TAX LIABILITIES. We are subject to income taxes and non-income taxes (e.g., import/export duties, and payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes) in both the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The amount of taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. We are regularly subject to examinations of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision and accruals for taxes. While we believe that we have properly interpreted applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes. Should we be assessed with additional taxes, there could be a material and adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Page 11 CHANGES IN REGULATIONS OR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT US. New laws, regulations or standards related to us or our products, and new accounting pronouncements, could be implemented or changed in a manner that could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. We may be eligible for several tax benefits provided for under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004. The potential tax benefits include a temporary 85% foreign dividends received deduction for certain dividends received from controlled foreign corporations. There are several statutory requirements, which must be met if we determine that the 85% dividends received deduction is advantageous. However, if we do not appropriately comply with the statutory requirements then the 85% foreign dividends received deduction could be forfeited resulting in a potentially adverse affect on our results of operations. WE MAY PERFORM MORE FIXED PRICE SERVICES CONTRACTS. A trend has emerged and is continuing among customers in our market towards demanding consulting and implementation services on a fixed-price basis, whereby we agree to deliver the contract requirements for a fixed fee regardless of the number of person-hours actually provided, as opposed to our traditional services arrangements where we deliver services on a time-and-materials basis. In cases where services are provided either for the future delivery of functionality or on a fixed price basis and our standard software is licensed at the same time, and if the services are essential to the overall solution desired by the customer or if we cannot determine the fair value of the services being delivered, then we may not be able to recognize the software license revenue from such transactions at the time the agreements are signed, but rather may be required to recognize such license revenue under the contract method of accounting, or to recognize a greater portion (or all) of the revenue from these transactions as services revenue. This would likely result in a postponement of recognition of, or even a reduction in, software license revenues, and have an adverse affect on our results of our operations. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Our success is dependent upon our proprietary technology. We currently have two U.S. patents (and other corresponding patents or applications pending in various foreign countries), and we protect our technology primarily through copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements. Our software products are sometimes licensed to customers under "shrink-wrap" or "click- wrap" licenses included as part of the product packaging or acknowledged by customers who register online. Although, in larger sales, our shrink-wrap and click-wrap licenses may be accompanied by specifically negotiated agreements signed by the licensee, in many cases our shrink-wrap and click-wrap licenses are not negotiated with or signed by individual licensees. Certain provisions of our shrink-wrap and click-wrap licenses, including provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of the licensed program, and limitations or liabilities and exclusions of remedies, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. Finally, we sell our products through distributors and resellers, and are therefore dependent on those companies to take appropriate steps to adequately implement our contractual protections and to enforce and protect our rights. We cannot give any assurance that the steps that we have taken to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or development by others of similar technology. Although we believe that our products and technology do not infringe on any valid claim of any patent or any other proprietary rights of others, we cannot give any assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims in the future. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, could result in the deterioration or outright loss of our patent rights, copyrights or other intellectual property, and could potentially have a material adverse affect on our operating results and financial condition. Page 12 LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF ONE OR MORE OF OUR KEY EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OR INABILITY TO RECRUIT NEEDED SALES, SERVICES AND TECHNICAL PERSONNEL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. We are highly dependent on certain key executive officers, technical and sales employees, and the loss of one or more of such employees could have an adverse impact on our future operations. We do not have employment contracts with any personnel, and we do not maintain any so-called "key person" life insurance policies on any personnel. We continue to hire additional sales, services and technical personnel. Competition for hiring of such personnel in the software industry is intense, and from time to time we may experience difficulty in locating candidates with the appropriate qualifications within the desired geographic locations, or with certain industry specific expertise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract additional qualified employees. WE ARE EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE MARKET VALUES OF OUR PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND IN INTEREST RATES. We invest a significant portion of our cash in marketable securities. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Economic downturns and other factors subject these securities to volatility in the market place. Any resulting decline in fair value of these investments could adversely affect our financial condition. RECENTLY ISSUED REGULATIONS RELATED TO EQUITY COMPENSATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL. We have used stock options and other long-term equity incentives as a fundamental component of our employee compensation packages. We believe that stock options and other long-term equity incentives directly motivate our employees to maximize long-term stockholder value and, through the use of vesting, encourage employees to remain with MRO. The FASB issued changes to U.S. GAAP that requires us to record a charge to earnings for new and unvested employee stock option grants beginning on July 1, 2005. This regulation could have a negative impact on our earnings. In addition, regulations of the Nasdaq National Market that require shareholder approval for all stock option plans, and regulations implemented by the New York Stock Exchange that prohibit NYSE member organizations from giving a proxy to vote on equity-compensation plans unless the beneficial owner of the shares has given voting instructions, could make it more difficult for us to grant options to employees in the future. To the extent that new regulations make it more difficult or expensive to grant stock options to employees, we may incur increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business. WE FACE COSTS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT. We continue to evaluate our internal control systems in order to allow our management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result, we continue to incur substantial expenses and management's time continues to be diverted which could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock. OTHER RISKS The foregoing is not a complete description of all risks relevant to our future performance, and the foregoing should be read and understood together with and in the context of similar discussions which may be contained in the documents that we file with the SEC in the future. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revision to the foregoing or any update to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. ITEM 1B: UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company leases its corporate headquarters and its manufacturing and distribution facilities in Bedford, Massachusetts. The leased facility consists of approximately 115,000 square feet and the lease ends December 31, 2009. The average annual base Page 13 rent is $1.0 million. Additionally, the Company estimates that its annual operating expenses under the recently renegotiated lease will be approximately $1.1 million, based on information currently available. The actual costs will depend on such factors as actual electricity usage, real estate taxes and operating costs. Under the terms of its lease, the Company has the ability to sublease the space. The Company leases additional offices in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Virginia. The Company also leases offices for its international operations in, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand and the United Kingdom. We believe our facilities are adequate for our current and near-term needs and that we will be able to locate additional facilities as needed. See Note J "Commitments and Contingencies" for more information about our leases. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW MRO Software, Inc. is the leading global provider of asset and service management solutions. In March 2005, we released our new generation of products, Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES). MXES is a comprehensive suite of products all built on a single, common, web-architected platform. MXES combines enhanced Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) functionality with new service management capabilities that together improve the effectiveness of asset management strategies. MXES includes all the functionality required to provide IT Service Management (ITSM) capabilities which includes advanced IT Asset Management (ITAM), service management, and a full-featured service desk, all based on the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) guidelines. The Company markets its MXES solution under several product names: Maximo and Maximo Enterprise for EAM applications, Maximo Discovery for autodiscovery of IT assets, Maximo IT Asset Management (ITAM) for advanced IT Asset Management (ITAM), and Maximo Service Desk, a full-featured service desk. Most products within MXES can each be implemented separately as a stand-alone solution, or they can readily be deployed together. MXES enables compliance with contracts, service level agreements, internal corporate standards, and government regulations. Our solutions enhance asset management and ensure service performance of production, facility, transportation and IT assets. We report all our revenues in one reportable business segment. Our management assesses operating results on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Our actual results are reported in United States dollars. International revenues accounted for 41% of total revenues for fiscal year 2005, and, therefore, the fluctuation in exchange rates can have a significant impact on our results of operations. In fiscal 2005, the fluctuation in the Euro dollar and the British pound, in particular, had a favorable impact on our revenue results. We assess the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on our business, primarily revenues, by recalculating the current period's financial results using the comparable period's exchange rates to devise a constant currency rate in order to compare period over period results. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to management and investors since it reflects performance of our international territories without the effect of exchange rates. Total actual revenues increased 7% in fiscal 2005, as compared to fiscal 2004, however, in constant currency terms the increase is estimated to be 5%. The exchange rates had a similar impact on direct and operating expenses, and, therefore, the overall impact on net income was immaterial for fiscal 2005. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and Page 16 liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies, in which different judgments and estimates by our management could materially affect our reported condition and results of operations, include revenue recognition, estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets, and the valuation of long-lived assets. We include and update critical accounting policies and estimates in interim periods if a new critical accounting policy is adopted or amended or if there are material changes in related judgments or conditions underlying our estimates in the interim period. REVENUE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE PRODUCTS The Company primarily licenses its software products under noncancellable license agreements. Software license fee revenues are generally recognized upon contract execution and product shipment, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable, the fees are fixed or determinable and no significant modification or customization of the software is required. Our customers do not have any right of return except as stipulated under a standard 90-day warranty that runs concurrent with post contract support (PCS). The Company does not maintain any reserves with respect to this warranty based on a history of performance of our software. On the rare occasion that a customer insists on conditions of acceptance, the Company defers revenue until the customer's acceptance is obtained and the condition has been satisfied. Revenue from products sold through indirect channels (resellers) is recognized upon shipment of the software, as long as evidence of an arrangement exists, collectibility is probable and the fee is fixed or determinable and the reseller's obligation to pay us is not contingent upon resale of our product. Revenue is recorded net of any commissions or discounts payable to these resellers. Our resellers do not have any right of return beyond the standard 90-day performance warranty that runs concurrent with PCS. SERVICES Services revenues are comprised of consulting and training fees related to installation of the Company's software solutions, PCS contracts for software products, and subscription-based fees related to the Company's OCS business. Consulting and training services are generally recognized as the services are performed. PCS revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, generally one year. Customers typically subscribe to OCS on an annual basis and revenue is recorded as services revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable subscription period. Often our software is sold together with implementation consulting services that are sold separately under consulting contracts. We consider whether the services revenue can be recognized separately from the software revenue by analyzing the nature of the services (i.e., if the services are essential to the functionality of the software), the level of risk, availability of services from other vendors, acceptance criteria, milestone payments and fixed price terms. For those contracts that contain fixed price arrangements, if we can reliably estimate the hours required to complete the implementation services and if we have vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) for the fair value of the hourly rates for consultants, we recognize the software license fee separately from the services revenues. The services revenues are recognized as they are delivered and the related costs as they are incurred. If at any time we estimate that the costs to complete a project will exceed expected revenues, we accrue for estimated losses using cost estimates that are based on average fully burdened daily rates applicable to the consulting organization delivering the services. For those fixed price arrangements where we cannot reliably estimate the hours required to complete the implementation services and/or we do not have VSOE for the fair value of the hourly rates for consultants, the software license value is recognized together with the consulting services over the period the consulting services are provided. Page 17 MULTIPLE ELEMENT ARRANGEMENTS The Company's multiple element arrangements could include the following three elements: (a) software license, (b) PCS, and (c) consulting, training and other services ("services"). Revenue is allocated to the elements of the arrangement based upon the VSOE of fair value of each element. The Company uses the residual method to recognize its software license revenue, because while we are able to determine the VSOE of fair value of PCS and services, we are unable to determine the fair value of software licenses. Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements (PCS and/or services) is deferred and recognized when the PCS and/or services are delivered. The difference between the amount of the total arrangement and the amount attributable to the elements for which fair value is determinable (PCS and/or services) is recognized as software license revenue. VSOE is established for PCS and is based on the price of PCS when sold separately. The PCS renewal rate is a relatively consistent percentage of the stipulated software license fee, offered to all customers. VSOE for consulting services is based on fixed hourly rates set according to the skill level of the consultant required. VSOE for training services is based on an established per-student fee structure. For those multi-element arrangements where we cannot establish VSOE for the undelivered elements, the software license value is recognized together with the consulting services over the period the consulting services are provided. Contract accounting is applied to any arrangement that includes significant customization or modification of the software. We assess whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale and recognize revenue if all other revenue recognition requirements are met. Our standard payment terms are net 30 days. Payment terms that extend beyond net 30 days from the contract date but are within twelve months are generally deemed to be fixed or determinable based on our successful history of collecting on such arrangements. For those customers who are deemed not to be credit-worthy, revenue is deferred until payment is received. ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND SALES RETURNS The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts, which reflect the Company's estimate of the amounts owed by customers that customers will be unable or otherwise fail to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's management assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts and factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balance, and current economic conditions. Company management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit when deemed necessary. The Company believes that the current estimate of allowances for doubtful accounts recorded as of September 30, 2005 adequately covers any potential credit risks. However, if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates and their payment defaults exceed our estimates, then we may need to increase our allowance reserves, which will result in a charge to income in the period that the adjustment is made. The Company did not record a provision for estimated sales returns. Based on our history of sales returns and an analysis of credit memos, we determined that a provision was not needed. If the historical data we used to calculate the basis for a provision does not properly reflect future returns, then a provision for returns will be recorded, and a charge to income will result in the period that such a determination is made. INCOME TAXES DEFERRED INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company computes deferred income taxes, net of valuation allowances, for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, the expected tax benefit of operating loss carryforwards and the expected benefit of tax credit carryforwards. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the realizability Page 18 of its deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset may be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered in the determination of recording a valuation allowance. The Company believes future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax benefit of the net deferred tax assets. In the event that it is determined that our financial projections change and it becomes more likely than not that we cannot realize the net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the net deferred tax assets will be made and will result in a charge to income in the period such a determination is made. The net deferred tax asset amount as of September 30, 2005 is $8.4 million. TAX CONTINGENCIES Tax contingencies are recorded to address potential exposures involving tax positions we have taken that could be challenged by taxing authorities. These potential exposures result from the varying application of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Our estimate of the value of our tax contingencies reflects assumptions based on past experiences and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may be greater or less than the amount that we have accrued. The Company's policy with regard to IRS examinations is to adjust any tax reserve balances as a result of any examination at the earlier of the date of IRS Joint Committee approval if any, or the expiration of the statute of limitations for the year examined. VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its long-lived assets, with the exception of goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may exceed their fair value. The Company estimates whether future cash flows expected to result from the use of assets exceed the carrying amount of the assets. In the event that the Company judges that an impairment exists, all or a portion of the asset will be written-off based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. In order to determine the fair value, the Company obtains quoted market prices or utilizes valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flows. The Company also periodically assesses the useful life of its fixed assets and may in the future need to adjust the life of an asset or write-it off. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the net tangible and intangible assets in a reporting unit exceeds the reporting units fair value, a detailed impairment loss analysis would be performed to calculate the amount of impairment, if any. Page 19 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial data as a percentage of total revenues: YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------ 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Revenues: Software 33% 28% 28% Support and Services 67 72 72 --- --- --- Total revenues 100 100 100 Total cost of revenues 36 36 38 --- --- --- Gross profit 64 64 62 --- --- --- Operating expense: Sales and marketing 32 30 33 Product development 14 15 15 General and administration 10 10 10 Amortization of other intangibles 1 1 1 --- --- --- Total operating expenses: 57 56 59 --- --- --- Income from operations 7 8 3 Other income 1 1 1 --- --- --- Income before income taxes 8 9 4 Provision for income taxes 1 3 1 --- --- --- Net income 7% 6% 3% --- --- --- Page 20 REVENUES Our revenues are derived primarily from two sources: (i) software licenses, and (ii) fees for support and services. Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Year Year Year Ended Change Ended Change Ended (in thousands) 9/30/05 % 9/30/04 % 9/30/03 - ---------------------------- --------- ------ --------- ------ --------- Software licenses $ 65,115 24% $ 52,583 5% $ 49,904 Percentage of total revenues 33% 28% 28% Support revenues $ 76,090 6% $ 71,495 10% $ 65,171 Percentage of total revenues 38% 39% 37% Services revenues $ 57,964 (6%) $ 61,611 (1%) $ 61,802 Percentage of total revenues 29% 33% 35% Total revenues $199,169 7% $185,689 5% $176,877 FISCAL 2005 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2004: Software license revenues increased 24% in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 and increased approximately 22% using constant currency rates. The increase in software license revenues was attributable to the successful penetration of our Maximo Industry Solutions, early success with our new MXES product which was released in March 2005, and an increase in our average selling price. The increase in our average selling price is attributable to ten large license sales over $1.0 million in fiscal 2005. Support revenues increased 6% in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 and increased approximately 4% using constant currency rates. Support revenues have increased as a result of a cumulative increase in the number of Maximo licenses and a strong renewal rate (90%) for support contracts. Service revenues decreased 6% in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 and decreased approximately 8% using constant currency rates. The decrease in service revenues was due primarily to the conclusion of a multi-year Maximo service engagement that had been generating $1 to $2 million of revenue per quarter for the previous two years. Overall, our services business operates in a highly competitive industry and there are numerous independent consulting firms including our alliance partners who implement our Maximo products and compete for our services business. FISCAL 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2003: Software license revenues increased 5% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 and increased approximately 1% using constant currency rates. The Company attributes the relatively flat overall software revenue in fiscal 2004 to the saturation of our traditional EAM market and long sales cycles for large multi-site, multi-user contracts. Maximo EAM software license revenues comprised 95% of total software revenues in fiscal 2004. Maximo EAM software license revenues increased 8% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003, as a result of the release of our Maximo Industry Solutions which are targeted at specific vertical markets. ITAM software license revenues declined 30% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. Historically, ITAM software licenses have fluctuated from quarter to quarter. Support revenues increased 10% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 and increased approximately 6% using constant currency rates. Support revenues have increased as a result of a cumulative increase in the number of Maximo EAM customers and a strong renewal rate (90%) for support contracts. Maximo EAM support revenues comprised 95% of total support revenues in fiscal 2004 and increased 11% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. ITAM support revenues decreased 3% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 due to termination of contracts without commensurate replacements from new customers. Service revenues decreased 1% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 and decreased 5% using constant currency rates. The decrease in service revenues in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 was comprised of the following: (1) a decline of 40% in ITAM service revenues related to the decrease in software licenses sold and (2) a $1 million decline in service revenues as a result of the sale of our industrial data normalization services operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. These Page 21 decreases were partially offset by a 5% increase in Maximo EAM services revenues. In constant currency terms, Maximo EAM service revenues were flat over the comparable period. Overall, our services business operates in a highly competitive industry and there are numerous independent consulting firms who implement Maximo and compete for our services business. COST OF REVENUES Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Year Year Year Ended Change Ended Change Ended (in thousands) 9/30/05 % 9/30/04 % 9/30/03 - ---------------------------------------- -------- ------ -------- ------ -------- Cost of software licenses $ 7,131 (1%) $ 7,143 (14)% $ 8,314 Percentage of software licenses Revenues 11% 14% 17% Cost of support revenues $12,295 12% $10,975 4% $10,525 Percentage of support revenues 16% 15% 16% Cost of services revenues $53,413 9% $49,169 2% $48,093 Percentage of services revenues 92% 80% 78% Total cost of revenues $72,839 8% $67,287 1% $66,932 Percentage of total revenues 36% 36% 38% FISCAL 2005 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2004: Cost of software license revenues consists of software purchased for resale, royalties paid to vendors of third-party software, the cost of software product packaging and media, certain employee costs related to software duplication, packaging and shipping and amortization of acquired technology. The 1% decrease in the cost of software license revenues in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 was primarily due to a decrease in amortization of acquired technology due to the completion of amortization of fully amortized assets. Amortization of acquired technology was $2.1 million and $2.4 million for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase of $175 thousand in royalties paid to vendors of third-party software and an increase of $150 thousand in purchases of third-party software related to our Maximo Mobile Suite product. Cost of support and services consists primarily of personnel costs for employees and the related costs of benefits and facilities, costs for utilization of third-party consultants and costs of operating our OCS business. Cost of support revenues increased 12% in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in renewals of third-party support contracts related to the Maximo Mobile Suite product, general increases in salaries and related benefits, acceleration of unvested employee stock options, and an increase in facilities cost due to a lease provision related to our UK facility. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in general operating expenses. Cost of support revenues, as a percentage of total support revenues, was 16% and 15% for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cost of service revenues increased 9% in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. Cost of service revenues, as a percentage of total service revenues was 92% and 80% for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase was attributable to an increase in service incentives, an increase in the utilization of third-party consultants implementing our products, salaries and related benefits, acceleration of unvested employee stock options, travel and entertainment expenses related to worldwide professional services meetings, and an increase in facilities cost due to a lease provision related to our UK facility, partially offset by a decrease in reimbursable expenses. FISCAL 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2003: Cost of software license revenues consists of software purchased for resale, royalties paid to vendors of third party software, the cost of software product packaging and media, certain employee costs related to software duplication, packaging and shipping, and amortization of acquired technology. The decrease in the cost of software license revenues in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the amortization of acquired technology due to the cessation of amortization of fully amortized assets. Amortization of acquired technology was $2.4 million and $3.4 million for fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. Page 22 Cost of support and services consists primarily of personnel costs for employees and the related costs of benefits and facilities, costs for utilization of third party consultants, and costs of operating our OCS business. Cost of support revenues increased 4% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. The increase in fiscal 2004 was primarily attributable to general increases in salaries and related benefits and operating expenses needed to support all of our product lines. Cost of support revenues, as a percentage of total support revenues was 15% and 16% for fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. Cost of service revenues increased 2% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. Cost of service revenues, as a percentage of total service revenues was 80% and 78% for fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 was attributable to an increase in the utilization of third-party consultants to implement our products, an increase in salaries and related benefits and an increase in service incentives due to additional headcount. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses. OPERATING EXPENSES Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Year Year Year Ended Change Ended Change Ended (in thousands) 9/30/05 % 9/30/04 % 9/30/03 - --------------------------------- -------- ------ -------- ------ -------- Sales and marketing $63,078 11% $56,762 (4)% $59,117 Percentage of total revenues 32% 30% 33% Product development $29,614 4% $28,492 8 % $26,476 Percentage of total revenues 14% 15% 15% General and administrative $20,087 13% $17,839 1 % $17,702 Percentage of total revenues 10% 10% 10% Amortization of other intangibles $ 347 (48%) $ 666 (27)% $ 908 Percentage of total revenues 1% 1% 1% FISCAL 2005 COMPARED TO 2004: Sales and marketing expenses increased 11% in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales commissions due to an increase in software license sales and accelerated commission rates, a general increase in salaries and related benefits, acceleration of unvested employee stock options, travel and entertainment expenses, and advertising expenses to market new products (MXES). Product development expenses increased 4% in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The increases were due to an increase in salaries and related benefits due to an increase in head count, an increase in expenditures for translation of our products in various languages, and acceleration of unvested employee stock options. General and administrative expenses increased 13% in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. General and administrative costs have mainly increased due to the costs for the assessment of internal controls in order to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. This includes external consultants and increased audit and legal fees. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, was 10% for both the fiscal year ended 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in amortization of other intangibles expense in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004, respectively, was due to cessation of amortization for fully amortized assets. FISCAL 2004 COMPARED TO 2003: Sales and marketing expenses decreased 4% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and related benefits due to a reduced number of sales and marketing personnel and a decrease in advertising expenses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in sales commissions due to increases in software license sales and a Page 23 more favorable sales commission policy for fiscal 2004 and an increase in travel and entertainment expenses. Product development expenses increased 8% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in product development salaries and related benefits and increases in the costs to translate our products into foreign languages. The Company has focused the majority of its development on a new generation of products, MXES. General and administrative expenses increased 1% in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and related benefits, property and business taxes, and insurance premiums. These increases were offset by a decrease in U.S. bad debt reserves. The decrease in amortization of other intangibles expense in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 was due to several assets becoming fully amortized during the first three quarters of fiscal 2004. NON-OPERATING EXPENSES Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Year Year Year Ended Change Ended Change Ended (in thousands) 9/30/05 % 9/30/04 % 9/30/03 - ---------------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------ ------- Interest income $2,956 135 % $1,258 55% $ 811 Other (expense)/ income, net $ (355) (602)% $ 6 (99%) $1,161 FISCAL 2005 AS COMPARED TO 2004: Interest income is attributable to interest earned on marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. We invest a large portion of our cash in marketable securities such as United States treasury and treasury-backed instruments and highly rated conservative corporate bonds. We were able to earn more income in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 because we invested more cash into higher yielding securities, mostly higher yielding U.S. bonds. The change in other expense was primarily due to non-operating costs associated with MRO World held in July 2005. Partially offsetting this was a swing in foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We reported net currency transaction losses of $93 thousand in fiscal 2005 and $506 thousand in fiscal 2004. We did not enter into any foreign exchange contracts during fiscal 2005 or 2004. Transaction gains and losses are primarily attributable to settlement of foreign intercompany account balances. Also, in fiscal 2004, the Company recorded an additional $452 thousand in other income related to the sale of its industrial data normalization services operations that was not repeated in fiscal 2005. FISCAL 2004 AS COMPARED TO 2003: Interest income is attributable to interest earned on marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. The Company invests a large portion of its cash in marketable securities such as United States treasury and treasury-backed instruments, municipal bonds and highly rated conservative corporate bonds. We were able to earn more income in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 because we invested more cash into higher yielding securities because the overall U.S. bond market improved over the previous comparable period. The change in other income was primarily due to a swing in foreign currency transaction gains and losses. The Company reported net currency transaction losses of $506 thousand in fiscal 2004 compared to net currency transaction gains of $532 thousand in fiscal 2003. Also, in fiscal 2004, the Company recorded an additional $452 thousand in other income related to the sale of its industrial data normalization services operations. INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate was 14% for fiscal 2005. The tax provision was calculated on income generated in domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions and on changes in our net deferred tax assets and liabilities. In accordance with its policy on tax examinations, the Company released a $3.4 million tax reserve during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 upon notification of approval from the IRS Joint Committee for a tax audit. Absent the impact of this tax reserve adjustment, the Page 24 effective tax rate for fiscal 2005 would have been 35.5%. Also, in fiscal 2005, the Company reversed valuation allowances previously maintained with respect to net operating losses acquired from the acquisition of Applied Image Technology, Inc. and various state net operating loss carryforwards. A portion ($431 thousand) of the reversal of the valuation allowance related to the net operating losses acquired from Applied Image Technology, Inc. resulted in a reduction in the Company's goodwill balance. The reversal of the valuation allowance was based on the assessment that it is more likely than not that the loss carryforwards will be utilized by the Company due to favorable projections of future income. Our effective tax rate was 35% for fiscal 2004 and 37% for fiscal 2003. The decrease in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 was primarily due to the reduction in non-deductible amortization and the utilization of state net operating losses and research and development credits. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $120.3 million and marketable securities of $12.9 million. The Company's working capital was $110.6 million. Cash provided by operations was $22.6 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 primarily attributable to income generated from operations. Cash provided by investing activities was $35.8 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005, and was primarily provided by sales and maturities of marketable securities, offset by the purchase of marketable securities and capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities was $5.5 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 and represents proceeds from our employee stock option and stock purchase plans. As of September 30, 2005, the Company's principal commitments consist primarily of office space and equipment operating leases for its U.S. and European headquarters. Our corporate headquarters are under a lease through December 31, 2009. We have entered into sub-lease agreements for our UK facility through May 2010. We lease our other facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through June 30, 2019. The Company leases its office facilities under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through June 30, 2019. The Company pays all insurance, utilities, and pro rated portions of any increase in certain operating expenses and real estate taxes. The aggregated rent expense under these leases was $6.5 million (net of sublease income), $6.9 million, and $6.2 million for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Page 25 The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2005. The contractual obligations are primarily related to office leases, equipment leases and contracts for hosting our financial applications. PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD CONTRACTUAL LESS THAN 1-3 3-5 MORE THAN 5 OBLIGATIONS TOTAL 1 YEAR YEARS YEARS YEARS - --------------------- ------- --------- ------- ------- ----------- (in thousands) Operating leases: Lease premises $31,353 $ 4,745 $ 6,092 $ 4,869 $15,647 Equipment/Automobiles 1,853 1,067 748 38 -- Purchase obligations 5,737 2,999 2,738 -- -- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $38,943 $ 8,811 $ 9,578 $ 4,907 $15,647 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- We may use a portion of our cash to acquire additional businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. We also plan to make investments over the next year in our products and technology. We expect that our cash flow from operations, together with our current cash and marketable securities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least September 30, 2006. Our liquidity and working capital requirements, including the current portions of any long-term commitments, are satisfied through cash flow from operations, leaving our cash reserves available for acquisitions, other investments and unanticipated expenditures. We have no long-term debt obligations. The factors that might impact our cash flows include those that might impact our business and operations generally, as described below under the heading "Risk Factors." RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-06). EITF 05-06 provides guidance for determining the amortization period used for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease, collectively referred to as subsequently acquired leasehold improvements). EITF 05-06 provides that the amortization period used for the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements to be the lesser of (a) the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements' useful lives, or (b) a period that reflects renewals that are reasonably assured upon the acquisition or the purchase. EITF 05-06 is effective on a prospective basis for subsequently acquired leasehold improvements purchased or acquired in periods beginning after the date of the FASB's ratification, which was on June 29, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that EITF 05-06 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("FAS 154"). FAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FAS 154 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. Page 26 In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to the identification and recognition of legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. FIN 47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. We are required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 by September 30, 2006. We do not expect FIN 47 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. In addition, in March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107). SAB 107 provides supplemental implementation guidance on FAS 123(R), including guidance on valuation methods, (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), classification of compensation expense, inventory capitalization of share-based compensation cost, income tax effects, disclosures in Management's Discussion and Analysis, and several other issues. FAS 123(R) is effective for the first interim reporting period of the first fiscal year beginning after June 12, 2005. The new standard will require the Company to expense stock options beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company accelerated all outstanding unvested options as of September 30, 2005. We will not have any significant stock option related compensation charges until additional options are granted. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets (FAS 153) which eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. We are required to adopt FAS 153 for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and its adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The American Jobs Creation Act In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("AJCA") was passed. The AJCA provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. The AJCA also provides for a two-year phase-out of the existing extra-territorial income exclusion for foreign sales. The Company continues to evaluate the guidance provided under the qualified domestic production activity and anticipates that it will qualify for the incentive. The AJCA also created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations. The Company is currently evaluating the AJCA and are not yet in a position to decide whether, or to what extent, it may repatriate foreign earnings to the U.S. and will make a final determination by the end of fiscal 2006. The amount of income tax we would incur should we repatriate some level of earnings cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In December 2004, the FASB issued two Staff Positions, "FSP FAS 109-1" and "FSP FAS 109-2", in response to the AJCA. Under FSP FAS 109-1, the FASB decided that the deduction for qualified domestic production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under FAS 109. Under FSP FAS 109-2, the FASB addressed the appropriate point at which a company should reflect in its financial statements the effects of the one-time tax benefit upon the repatriation of foreign earnings. The adoptions of FSP FAS 109-1 and FSP FAS 109-2 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Page 27 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our primary exposure to market risk is the effect of fluctuations in interest rates earned on our cash equivalents and marketable securities and exposures to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. At September 30, 2005, we held $133.2 million in cash equivalents and marketable securities consisting of taxable and tax exempt municipal securities. Interest rate movements affect the interest income we earn. We place our investments with high quality issuers and limits risk by purchasing only investment-grade securities. A hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair market value of these instruments due to their short maturity. We develop our products in the United States and market them in North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Australia, Asia Pacific and Latin America. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. As of September 30, 2005, we did not engage in foreign currency hedging activities. Page 28 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) The following tables present certain unaudited quarterly financial information for our last eight quarters. The unaudited interim consolidated financial information contained herein has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements.

Page 30 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF MRO SOFTWARE, INC.: We have completed an integrated audit of MRO Software, Inc.'s 2005 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2005 and audits of its 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE - ------------------------------------------------------------------ In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MRO Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries at September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING - ----------------------------------------- Also, in our opinion, management's assessment, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2005 based on criteria established in Internal Control - -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management's assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. Page 31 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM - (CONTINUED) A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Page 36 MRO SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: NATURE OF BUSINESS The Company develops, markets, sells and distributes asset and service management solutions used by businesses, government agencies and other organizations to manage their high-value capital assets, such as plants, facilities, transportation, production equipment and IT assets. The Company's integrated suite of applications optimizes performance, improves productivity and service levels and enables asset-related sourcing and procurement across the entire spectrum of our customers' strategic assets. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MRO Software, Inc. ("MROI") and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial statements would be affected. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents consist mainly of money market mutual funds, which are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of temporary cash investments, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The majority of our cash is maintained with several financial institutions in the United States and Europe. Deposits held with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The counterparties to the agreements relating to marketable securities and investment instruments consist of various United States governmental units and financial institutions of high credit standing. Credit risk on accounts receivable is minimized as a result of the diverse nature of the Company's customer base. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit when deemed necessary. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company's comprehensive income is comprised of net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, net of tax. Comprehensive income is included in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts (stated at cost) of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. FOREIGN CURRENCY Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The translation adjustments made on translation of the balance sheet are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Revenues and expenses are Page 37 translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income. The Company recorded a foreign currency translation net loss of $93 thousand, a net loss of $506 thousand, and a net gain of $532 thousand for fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at their fair value. All marketable securities are held in the Company's name and are held in custody with a major financial institution. The fair value of marketable securities was determined based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity and are included in other comprehensive income net of tax. LONG-LIVED ASSETS PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Description Estimated Useful Life - ----------- --------------------- Computer equipment & software 3 years Vehicles 3 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the remaining term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income. GOODWILL In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Board ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," the Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead, be tested annually for impairment or whenever events occur which may indicate possible impairment. The impairment analysis performed at September 30, 2005 concluded that no impairment of goodwill occurred. INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL Long-lived assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company periodically reviews the long-lived assets, including intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may exceed their fair value. The Company estimates whether future cash flows expected to result from the use of assets exceed the carrying amount of the assets. In the event that the Company judges that an impairment exists, all or a portion of the asset will be written off based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. In order to determine the fair value, the Company obtains quoted market prices or utilizes valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flows. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, our products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Costs eligible for capitalization under SFAS No. 86 were not significant to our consolidated financial statements and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred. INCOME PER SHARE Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common Page 38 shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered dilutive potential common shares in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. All potential dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting for income taxes. The Company computes deferred income taxes, net of valuation allowances, for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. Any increase or decrease in a valuation allowance could have a material impact on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which the determination is made. The Company's policy with regard to IRS examinations is to adjust any tax reserve balances as a result of any examination at the earlier of the date of IRS Joint Committee approval if any, or the expiration of the statute of limitations for the year examined. The Company has not provided for U.S. income tax on earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as it considers these earnings indefinately reinvested. At September 30, 2005, the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were $14.0 million. REVENUE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE PRODUCTS The Company primarily licenses its software products under noncancellable license agreements. Software license fee revenues are generally recognized upon contract execution and product shipment, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable, the fees are fixed or determinable, and no significant modification or customization of the software is required. Our customers do not have any right of return except as stipulated under a standard 90-day warranty that runs concurrent with post contract support (PCS). The Company does not maintain any reserves with respect to this warranty based on a history of performance of our software. On the rare occasion that a customer insists on conditions of acceptance, the Company defers revenue until the customer's acceptance is obtained and the condition has been satisfied. Revenue from products sold through indirect channels (resellers) is recognized upon shipment of the software, as long as evidence of an arrangement exists, collectibility is probable and the fee is fixed or determinable and the resellers obligation to pay us is not contingent upon resale of our product. Revenue is recorded net of any commissions or discounts. Our resellers do not have any right of return beyond the standard 90-day performance warranty that runs concurrent with PCS. SERVICES Services revenues are comprised of consulting and training fees related to installation of the Company's software solutions, PCS contracts for software products, and subscription-based fees related to the Company's Online Commerce Services (OCS) business. Consulting and training services are generally recognized as the services are performed. PCS revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, generally one year. Customers typically subscribe to OCS on an annual basis and revenue is recorded as services revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable subscription period. Often our software is sold together with implementation consulting services that are sold separately under consulting contracts. We consider whether the services revenue can be recognized separately from the software revenue by analyzing the nature of the services (i.e., if the services are essential to the functionality of the software), the level of risk, availability of services from other vendors, acceptance criteria, milestone payments and fixed price terms. For those contracts that contain fixed price arrangements, if we can reliably estimate the hours Page 39 required to complete the implementation services and if we have vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) for the fair value of the hourly rates for consultants, we recognize the software license fee separately from the services revenues. The services revenues are recognized as they are delivered and the related costs as they are incurred. If at any time we estimate that the costs to complete a project will exceed expected revenues, we accrue for estimated losses using cost estimates that are based on average fully burdened daily rates applicable to the consulting organization delivering the services. For those fixed price arrangements where we cannot reliably estimate the hours required to complete the implementation services and/or we do not have VSOE for the fair value of the hourly rates for consultants, the software license value is recognized together with the consulting services over the period the consulting services are provided. MULTIPLE ELEMENT ARRANGEMENTS The Company's multiple element arrangements could include the following three elements: (a) software license, (b) PCS, and (c) consulting, training and other services (services). Revenue is allocated to the elements of the arrangement based upon the vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value of each element. The Company uses the residual method to recognize its software license revenue, because while we are able to determine the VSOE of fair value of PCS and services, we are unable to determine the fair value of software licenses. Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements (PCS and/or services) is deferred and recognized when the PCS and/or services are delivered. The difference between the amount of the total arrangement and the amount attributable to the elements for which fair value is determinable (PCS and/or services) is recognized as software license revenue. VSOE is established for PCS and is based on the price of PCS when sold separately. The PCS renewal rate is a relatively consistent percentage of the stipulated software license fee, offered to all customers. VSOE for consulting services is based on fixed hourly rates set according to the skill level of the consultant required. VSOE for training services is based on an established per-student fee structure. We assess whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale and recognize revenue if all other revenue recognition requirements are met. Our standard payment terms are net 30 days. Payment terms that extend beyond net 30 days from the contract date but are within twelve months are generally deemed to be fixed or determinable based on our successful history of collecting on such arrangements. For those customers who are deemed not to be credit-worthy, revenue is deferred until payment is received. Shipping and handling fees associated with our products are recorded as revenue and the associated costs are recorded as cost of software sales. ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND SALES RETURNS The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts, which reflect the Company's estimate of the amounts owed by customers that customers will be unable or otherwise fail to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's management assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts and factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balance, and current economic conditions. Company management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit when deemed necessary. The Company did not record a provision for estimated sales returns. Based on our history of sales returns and an analysis of credit memos, we determined that a provision was not needed. DEFERRED REVENUE Revenue on all software license transactions in which there are significant outstanding obligations is deferred and recognized once such obligations are fulfilled. Deferred revenue also includes maintenance contracts and OCS fees billed in advance. ADVERTISING EXPENSE The Company recognizes advertising expense as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $3.5 million, $3.3 million, and $4.7 million for fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Page 40 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock options to its employees. Such grants are for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. SFAS No. 148 ("SFAS 148") amends SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123") to provide alternative methods of transition to the SFAS 123 fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 requires disclosure of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income (loss) and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. The fair value of the Company's stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model was developed for use in estimated fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The fair value of the Company's stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions: YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, STOCK OPTIONS 2005 2004 2003 ------------- ---- ---- ---- Expected life (in years) 3.40 3.31 3.36 Volatility 60% 75% 90% Risk-free interest rate 3.59% 2.18% 2.36% Dividend yield 0% 0% 0% YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 2005 2004 2003 - ---------------------------- ---- ---- ---- Expected life (in years) 1.00 1.00 1.00 Volatility 55% 55% 77% Risk-free interest rate 1.94% 1.02% 1.58% Dividend yield 0% 0% 0% Under SFAS 123, the weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted during fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $6.93, $6.70 and $7.36 per share, respectively. PROFORMA INFORMATION The Company complies with the pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS 148. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share on a pro forma basis as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation: 2005 2004 2003 (in thousands, except per share amounts) --------- ---------- --------- Net income $ 13,595 $ 10,340 $ 4,870 As reported Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in net income 1,290 214 171 Deduct: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects $(10,036) $ (7,027) $(10,751) Pro forma net income/(loss) $ 4,849 $ 3,527 $ (5,710) Earnings/(loss) per share: Basic - as reported $ 0.54 $ 0.42 $ 0.20 Basic - pro forma $ 0.19 $ 0.14 $ (0.23) Diluted - as reported $ 0.52 $ 0.41 $ 0.20 Diluted - pro forma $ 0.19 $ 0.14 $ (0.23) Compensation cost is reflected in net income for restricted stock awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors in fiscal years 2004 and 2005. In fiscal year 2005, the Company recorded compensation cost in net income for restricted stock awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors and certain executives of Page 41 the Company. Compensation cost in fiscal year 2005 also included the charge related to the Company's acceleration of employee stock options. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-06). EITF 05-06 provides guidance for determining the amortization period used for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease, collectively referred to as subsequently acquired leasehold improvements). EITF 05-06 provides that the amortization period used for the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements to be the lesser of (a) the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements' useful lives, or (b) a period that reflects renewals that are reasonably assured upon the acquisition or the purchase. EITF 05-06 is effective on a prospective basis for subsequently acquired leasehold improvements purchased or acquired in periods beginning after the date of the FASB's ratification, which was on June 29, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that EITF 05-06 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("FAS 154"). FAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FAS 154 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to the identification and recognition of legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. FIN 47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. We are required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 by September 30, 2006. We do not expect FIN 47 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. In addition, in March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107). SAB 107 provides supplemental implementation guidance on FAS 123(R), including guidance on valuation methods, (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), classification of compensation expense, inventory capitalization of share-based compensation cost, income tax effects, disclosures in Management's Discussion and Analysis, and several other issues. FAS 123(R) is effective for the first interim reporting period of the first fiscal year beginning Page 42 after June 12, 2005. The new standard will require the Company to expense stock options beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company accelerated all outstanding unvested options as of September 30, 2005. We will not have any significant stock option related compensation charges until additional options are granted. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets (FAS 153) which eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. We are required to adopt FAS 153 for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and its adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The American Jobs Creation Act In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("AJCA") was passed. The AJCA provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. The AJCA also provides for a two-year phase-out of the existing extra-territorial income exclusion for foreign sales. The Company continues to evaluate the guidance provided under the qualified domestic production activity and anticipates that it will qualify for the incentive. The AJCA also created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations. The Company is currently evaluating the AJCA and are not yet in a position to decide whether, or to what extent, it may repatriate foreign earnings to the U.S. and will make a final determination by the end of fiscal 2006. The amount of income tax we would incur should we repatriate some level of earnings cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In December 2004, the FASB issued two Staff Positions, "FSP FAS 109-1" and "FSP FAS 109-2", in response to the AJCA. Under FSP FAS 109-1, the FASB decided that the deduction for qualified domestic production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under FAS 109. Under FSP FAS 109-2, the FASB addressed the appropriate point at which a company should reflect in its financial statements the effects of the one-time tax benefit upon the repatriation of foreign earnings. The adoptions of FSP FAS 109-1 and FSP FAS 109-2 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. B. INCOME TAXES: The components of income before income taxes and the provision/(benefit) for income taxes consist of the following: YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, (IN THOUSANDS) 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Income before income taxes: United States $ 10,684 $ 11,707 $ 4,867 Foreign 5,121 4,200 2,847 -------- -------- -------- $ 15,805 $ 15,907 $ 7,714 ======== ======== ======== The (benefit)/provision for income taxes consists of: Current taxes: Federal (1,491) 1,748 547 State 217 195 196 Foreign 1,507 1,072 1,298 Foreign withholding taxes 488 357 591 -------- -------- -------- $ 721 $ 3,372 $ 2,632 ======== ======== ======== Deferred taxes: Federal 1,415 1,567 561 State 443 359 20 Foreign (369) 269 (369) -------- -------- -------- 1,489 2,195 212 -------- -------- -------- Total $ 2,210 $ 5,567 $ 2,844 ======== ======== ======== Page 43 The reconciliation of the Company's income tax provision to the statutory federal tax rate is as follows: YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Statutory federal tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Extra-territorial income exclusion (1.1) (1.1) (.70) State taxes, net of federal tax benefit 2.7 2.6 1.4 R&D credit (2.7) (2.9) (5.4) Exempt interest (0.6) (0.5) (0.1) Previously unbenefitted losses -- (1.2) (6.6) Meals and entertainment 0.8 0.6 1.5 Foreign taxes 0.4 2.5 7.8 Stock based compensation-acceleration of stock options 1.0 -- -- Goodwill and intangibles amortization -- -- 4.5 Tax reserve adjustment (21.5) -- -- Other -- -- (0.5) ----- ---- ---- Effective tax rate 14.0% 35.0% 36.9% ===== ==== ==== The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 2004 (in thousands) ---- ---- Deferred tax assets: Deferred revenue $ 195 $ 289 Deferred rent 831 620 Allowance for doubtful accounts 174 491 Accrued vacation 377 322 Depreciation 707 510 Package design 52 58 Amortized intangibles 2,743 2,586 Other reserves 360 368 Goodwill 1,499 3,169 Translation loss 540 538 Net operating loss carryforward 512 868 Research and development credit 594 509 Stock based compensation- acceleration of stock options 150 -- Valuation allowance -- (868) ------ ------ $8,734 $9,460 ------ ------ Deferred tax liabilities: Amortized software $ 323 $ 329 Other 36 50 ------ ------ $ 359 $ 379 ------ ------ Net deferred taxes $8,375 $9,081 ====== ====== At September 30, 2005, the Company had total federal domestic net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.3 million attributable to the acquisition of Applied Image Technology, Inc. ("AIT"). In accordance with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company's utilization of AIT's net operating loss carryforward is estimated to be limited to approximately $600 thousand per year. The federal domestic net operating loss carryforwards will generally expire in 2018 and 2019. At September 30, 2005, the Company had state apportioned net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million expiring in various years from 2006 through 2022. The Company continually assesses the realizability of its deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset may be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered in the determination of recording a valuation allowance. The Company believes future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax benefit of the net deferred tax assets. In the event that our financial projections change and it becomes Page 44 more likely than not that we cannot realize the net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the net deferred tax assets will be made and will result in a charge to income in the period such a determination is made. The net deferred tax asset amount as of September 30, 2005 is $8.4 million. In fiscal 2005, the Company reversed valuation allowances previously maintained with respect to net operating losses acquired from the acquisition of Applied Image Technology, Inc. and various state net operating loss carryforwards . A portion ($431 thousand) of the reversal of the valuation allowance related to the net operating losses acquired from Applied Image Technology, Inc. resulted in a reduction in the Company's goodwill balance. The reversal of the valuation allowance was based on the assessment that it is more likely than not that the loss carryforwards will be utilized by the Company due to favorable projections of future income. In accordance with its policy on tax examinations, the Company released a $3.4 million tax reserve during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 upon notification of approval from the IRS Joint Committee for a tax audit. C. ACQUISITIONS On July 9, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Raptor ASA Corporation, a provider of software solutions for the aviation industry. The total purchase price of the acquisition was $1.1 million. The amount of $600 thousand was paid at closing. The amount of $200 thousand was payable within thirty days after the first anniversary of the closing and $300 thousand was payable within thirty days after the second anniversary of the closing. Both of these payments were contingent upon the completion of knowledge transfer milestones, however, neither payment was contingent on any employment of the selling principals with the Company. In July 2005, the Company paid the first contingent payment in the amount of $200 thousand pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The Company allocated the purchase price as such: $910 thousand to acquired technology, $560 thousand to goodwill and $370 thousand to deferred tax liability. The deferred tax liability represents the cumulative tax effect of the book to tax difference in basis for the acquired technology. The acquired technology will be amortized over five years. D. SALE OF ASSETS On January 17, 2003, the Company sold its industrial data normalization services operations to International Materials Solutions, Inc. (the "Buyer"). The sale included software and technology used in such operations, contracts with customers, suppliers and vendors, and trademarks associated with such operations. Additionally, the workforce became employed by the Buyer. The Company retained comprehensive, non-exclusive rights to the software and technology used in the business, which has also been embedded in the Company's MAXIMO and OCS offerings. As consideration for the assets, the Buyer assumed all liabilities arising in connection with the assets and the associated business operations from and after January 1, 2003 and delivered two promissory notes in the face amount of $1 million each, together with a stock purchase warrant representing the right to purchase five (5%) percent of the Buyer's common stock. One promissory note was a term note payable over a period of three years commencing July 1, 2003, and the other promissory note was a balloon note payable in full on June 30, 2006. The gain recorded on the sale of these assets was $407 thousand and was included in other income in fiscal 2003. For purposes of calculating the gain on the sale, the $1 million promissory balloon note receivable was not valued due to uncertainty of collection and no value was attributed to the stock purchase warrants due to the limited operating history of the buyer. On July 29, 2004, the Company and the Buyer entered into a termination agreement where the Company consented to the sale of the Buyer's business to an unrelated party and settled the outstanding obligation between the Company and the Buyer. In exchange for $1.3 million, received September 2004, the Company released the Buyer from all obligations due pursuant to the original January 17, 2003 sale. The gain recorded as a result of the termination agreement was $452 thousand and was included in other income in fiscal 2004. The gain represents the difference between the $1.3 million received by the Company and the carrying amount of the term note. Page 45 E. NET INCOME PER SHARE: Basic and diluted income per share are calculated as follows: YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, (in thousands, except per share amounts) 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Net income $13,595 $10,340 $ 4,870 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 25,280 24,795 24,429 Effect of dilutive securities (primarily stock options) 621 478 218 ------- ------- ------- Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 25,901 25,273 24,647 ======= ======= ======= Net income per share - basic $ 0.54 $ 0.42 $ 0.20 Net income per share - diluted $ 0.52 $ 0.41 $ 0.20 Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock of 1,493,000, 1,773,000 and 2,843,000 for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the exercise price of the options was greater than the weighted average market price of the common stock during the period. F. MARKETABLE SECURITIES: The Company classifies its marketable securities as "available for sale" and carries them at aggregate fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of stockholders' equity, net of tax effect. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. Dividend and interest income, including amortization of the premium and discount arising at acquisition, are included in other income. The pre-tax unrealized holding gains and (losses) for the year ended September 30, 2005 were $8 thousand and ($382) thousand, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company's investments: GROSS GROSS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED FAIR (in thousands) COST GAINS LOSSES VALUE --------- ---------- ---------- ------- U.S. government securities $10,017 -- $(277) $ 9,740 Corporate bonds 3,038 -- (102) 2,936 Certificates of deposit 190 -- (3) 187 Corporate securities 2 8 10 ------- -- ----- ------- Total $13,247 $8 $(382) $12,873 ------- -- ----- ------- Reported As: Marketable securities-Current 5,130 Marketable securities 7,743 ------- Total $12,873 ======= GROSS GROSS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED FAIR (in thousands) COST GAINS LOSSES VALUE --------- ---------- ---------- ------- U.S. Government securities $12,288 $(219) $12,069 Corporate bonds 4,107 $10 (62) 4,055 Tax exempt municipal securities 33,925 33,925 Certificates of deposit 1,380 (5) 1,375 Corporate securities 1 1 ------- --- ----- ------- Total $51,701 $10 $(286) $51,425 ------- --- ----- ------- Reported As: Marketable securities-Current 36,152 Marketable securities 15,273 ------- Total $51,425 ======= Page 46 The following table provides a breakdown of the investments with unrealized losses at September 30, 2005: LESS 12 MONTHS THAN 12 MONTHS OR GREATER TOTAL GROSS GROSS GROSS FAIR UNREALIZED FAIR UNREALIZED FAIR UNREALIZED (in thousands) VALUE LOSSES VALUE LOSSES VALUE LOSSES ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------- ---------- U.S. government securities $3,930 $(73) $5,810 $(204) $ 9,740 $(277) Corporate bonds 1,002 (6) 1,934 (96) 2,936 (102) Certificates of deposit 187 (3) -- -- 187 (3) ------ ---- ------ ----- ------- ----- Total $5,119 $(82) $7,744 $(300) $12,863 $(382) ------ ---- ------ ----- ------- ----- The gross unrealized losses related to the U.S. government securities and the certificates of deposit are due to changes in interest rates. The gross unrealized losses related to the corporate bonds are due to changes in market prices. The Company has the intent and the ability to hold these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in market value. Substantially all of the Company's investments are rated investment grade or better. As a result of these factors, the Company has determined that the gross unrealized losses on its investment securities at September 30, 2005 are temporary in nature. The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company's investments at September 30, 2005: AMORTIZED FAIR (in thousands) COST VALUE --------- ------- Less than one year $ 5,203 $ 5,130 Due in 1-2 years 8,044 7,743 ------- ------- Total $13,247 $12,873 ======= ======= G.

Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization expense for purchased and internal use software of $1.1 million, $2.9 million, and $2.6 million for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. H. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: In accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," the Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. In testing for potential impairment, all remaining goodwill has been assigned to one reporting unit and reviewed for impairment at the entity level. The Page 47 impairment analysis performed at September 30, 2005 concluded that no impairment of goodwill occurred. Changes in the amount of goodwill for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are as follows: (in thousands) Balance as of September 30, 2003 $46,210 Goodwill acquired during the period (see Footnote C) 558 ------- Balance as of September 30, 2004 $46,768 ======= Release of Applied Image Technology, Inc. valuation allowance (431) ------- Balance as of September 30, 2005 $46,337 ======= Intangible assets as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, consist of the following: (in thousands) 09/30/05 09/30/04 -------- -------- Goodwill, net $46,337 $ 46,768 Acquired technology 16,654 16,654 Accumulated amortization (13,748) (11,673) ------- -------- Sub-total acquired technology 2,906 4,981 ------- -------- Other intangibles 1,911 2,711 Accumulated amortization (1,699) (2,151) ------- -------- Sub-total other intangibles 212 560 ------- -------- Total intangible assets, net $49,455 $ 52,309 ======= ======== Other intangibles consist of customer contracts, customer lists and non-compete agreements.

ACCRUED COMPENSATION: A summary of accrued compensation as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, consists of the following: 2005 2004 (in thousands) ---- ---- Accrued compensation and 401(k) contribution $ 3,221 $ 3,195 Accrued sales commissions 6,878 4,582 Accrued vacation pay 2,706 2,365 ------- ------- $12,805 $10,142 ======= ======= Page 48 J. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Company leases its office facilities under operating lease agreements, which expire at various dates through June 30, 2019. The Company pays all insurance, utilities, and pro rated portions of any increase in certain operating expenses and real estate taxes. The aggregated rent expense (net of sublease income) under these leases was $6.5 million, $6.9 million, and $6.2 million for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The operating leases provide for minimum aggregate future rentals as of September 30, 2005 as follows: (in thousands) 2006 $ 4,746 2007 4,068 2008 3,537 2009 3,435 2010 and thereafter 17,816 ------- Total $33,602 ======= Less: expected sublease income $(2,249) ------- Net future rentals $31,353 ======= The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Company has other long-term non-cancelable commitments with vendors, primarily equipment leases and contracts for hosting our financial applications, totaling $7.6 million as of September 30, 2005. K. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: CASH OR DEFERRED PLAN The MRO Software, Inc. Cash or Deferred Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan available to substantially all of MROI's domestic employees. The Plan was established in 1988 under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, employees may make voluntary contributions based on a percentage of their pretax earnings. Effective January 1, 1993, the Plan was amended to provide for both a guaranteed and a discretionary contribution made by MROI. Amounts charged to expense for this Plan in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $635 thousand, $563 thousand, and $359 thousand, respectively. The Company also makes contributions to pension plans for our international subsidiaries. Our practice is to fund the various plans in amounts at least sufficient to meet the minimum requirements of local laws and regulations or make a contribution equal to the contribution made to U.S. domestic employees. Amounts charged to expense for our international employees for fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $1.3 million, $1.2 million, and $998 thousand, respectively. 1994 INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN On March 10, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1994 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Option Plan") that provided for the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options to directors and employees. On January 25, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued from 1,800,000 to 3,600,000. The exercise price of incentive options must be at least equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonqualified options must not be less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally vest in equal installments over four years. On March 4, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to terminate the 1994 Option Plan upon the adoption of the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The stockholders of the Company, on March 24, 1999, approved amendments to the vesting and transferability of options granted to outside directors under the 1994 Option Plan. Page 49 AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN On March 24, 1999, the Company's stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan") that provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non statutory stock options, stock bonuses, rights to purchase restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other awards based upon the Company's common stock. Up to 1,850,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the capitalization of the Company) were originally authorized for issuance pursuant to grants awarded under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan was amended and restated on April 25, 2000 to adjust the amount of options granted to non-employee directors of the Company. On November 15, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 1999 Plan from 1,850,000 to 4,050,000. This increase was approved by the Company's stockholders on March 6, 2001. On January 16, 2002 the Board of Directors voted to change the manner in which stock awards are granted to non-employee directors. The provision for automatic grants of initial options and additional options was eliminated, and Non-employee directors were made eligible to receive stock awards in the same manner and to the same degree as all other eligible persons, as determined by the Board of Directors on a discretionary basis. These changes were approved by the Company's stockholders on March 6, 2002. On January 23, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 1999 Plan from 4,050,000 to 5,250,000. This increase was approved by the Company's stockholders on March 9, 2004. The exercise price of incentive options must be at least equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonqualified options must not be less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted prior to March 2001 generally vest over four years in four equal annual installments. Options granted from and after March 2001 generally vest over four years, with 25% vesting one year from the date of grant and 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the subsequent three years. Awards of options under the 1999 Plan may be made until March 24, 2009. No incentive options may extend for more than ten years from the date of grant. On January 14, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 1999 Plan from 5,250,000 to 6,450,000. This increase was approved by the Company's stockholders on March 8, 2005. ACCELERATION OF THE VESTING OF EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS On September 30, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved accelerating the vesting of all unvested options for all employees, including executive officers, but excluding non-employee directors. Executive officers have agreed to not exercise their accelerated options prior to the original vesting period. Upon termination of employment, however, the executive officers will be able to exercise their options. The vesting of approximately 1,400,000 shares of stock options were accelerated. The weighted average price of the options that were accelerated was $12.34. The total pretax charge related to the option acceleration was $838 thousand.

Generally, the 2002 ESPP provides that eligible employees may purchase Common Stock of the Company through payroll deductions on a periodic basis, with the particular terms of the offering established by the Compensation Committee from time to time. As originally administered by the Compensation Committee, the offering periods were set at six months each, and the purchase price was set at 85% of the fair market value of the Page 51 Company's Common Stock based on the lowest price on (a) the semi-annual offering commencement date, (b) the semi-annual offering termination date, or (c) the first of each month in a semi-annual offering period. Effective with the offering that commenced on June 1, 2005, the Compensation Committee changed the share purchase price to be 85% of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the termination date of the six month offerings. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, employees purchased 116,044 shares at a price of $8.19 and 87,915 shares at a price of $10.87 for the offering periods ended November 30, 2004 and May 31, 2005, respectively. Total shares purchased in 2004 and 2003 were 190,451 and 199,633, respectively. L. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: DEFERRED COMPENSATION The value of restricted stock granted to employees and non-employee directors that is subject to vesting, is recorded as deferred stock-based compensation in an amount equal to the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term of these options and stock awards. PREFERRED STOCK On March 11, 1994, the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value was authorized by the Stockholders of the Company. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series and to fix rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including dividends, and the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series. In January 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan by declaring a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (one "Right") on each share of the Company's Common Stock outstanding on January 27, 1998 or, in certain circumstances, issued thereafter. Initially, the Rights are not exercisable, are not represented by separate Right certificates and do not trade separately from the Company's Common Stock. Ten days after a tender offer or acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's common stock, each right may be exercised for $140 ("Exercise Price") to purchase one one thousandth of one share of the Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. Each one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock will generally be afforded economic rights similar to one share of the Company's common stock. In addition after such rights are triggered, each Right entitles the holder to purchase common stock of the Company with a fair value of twice the Exercise Price or, in certain circumstances, securities of the acquiring company for the Exercise price. Each Right expires in January 2008 and, during specified periods, the Company may redeem or exchange each Right for $.01 or one share of common stock. The Rights Agreement has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated February 2, 1998. COMMON STOCK On June 18, 2001, each non-employee Director received an outright grant of 6,250 shares of restricted stock vesting on a quarterly basis over three years in twelve equal installments vesting on the 15th day of the second month of each quarter, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances. The shares were recorded at fair market value ($12.65 per share) on the date of issuance as deferred compensation and the value of the vested shares was recorded as general and administrative expense over the vesting period. On January 27, 2003, each non-employee director received an outright grant of 6,250 shares of restricted stock vesting on a quarterly basis over three years in twelve equal installments vesting on the 15th day of the second month of each quarter, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances. The shares were recorded at Page 52 fair market value ($11.73 per share) on the date of issuance as deferred compensation and the value of the vested shares is being recorded as general and administrative expense over the vesting period. On March 15, 2004, each non-employee director and the Chairman of the Board received an outright grant of 4,800 shares of restricted stock vesting on a quarterly basis over three years in twelve equal installments on the 15th day of the second month of each quarter, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances. The shares were recorded at fair market value ($11.89 per share) on the date of issuance as deferred compensation and the value of the vested shares is being recorded as general and administrative expense over the vesting period. On May 10, 2005, each non-employee director received an outright grant of 6,250 shares of restricted stock vesting on a quarterly basis over three years in twelve equal installments on the 15th day of the second month of each quarter, subject to acceleration under circumstances. The shares were recorded at fair market value ($13.53 per share) on the date of issuance as deferred compensation and the value of the vested shares is being recorded as general and administrative expense over the vesting period. On May 10, 2005, certain executives of the Company received restricted stock in varying amounts. The restricted stock vests twenty-five percent on May 10, 2006 and in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter subject to the terms of the 1999 Plan. The shares were recorded at fair market value ($13.53 per share) on the date of issuance as deferred compensation and the value of the vested shares is being recorded as general and administrative expense over the vesting period. M. GUARANTOR ARRANGEMENTS We warrant that our software products will perform substantially in accordance with the product specifications as contained in certain associated documentation, which is provided with the products, for a period of ninety days from initial delivery of the products to the customer. Our sole obligation under this warranty is to use reasonable efforts to correct a verified problem that is brought to our attention during the warranty period, or if we are unable to provide a correction, we are obligated to accept the return of the product and refund the license fee paid. We warrant that our professional services will be provided in accordance with good professional practice, and that any software developed by our services organization will perform substantially in accordance with its approved specifications for a period of thirty days from initial delivery of the services to the customer. Our sole obligation under this warranty is to use reasonable efforts to correct a verified problem that is brought to our attention during the warranty period, or if we are unable to provide a correction, we are obligated to accept the return of the deliverables and refund the fee paid for the services. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and services warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, we have never incurred significant expense under our product or services warranties, our liability for breach of warranty is limited to the amount of the license or services fees actually paid, and we maintain insurance covering such claims in an amount sufficient to cover a refund of the license or services fees paid by any particular customer during the last 12 months. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these warranty obligations is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these warranty obligations as of September 30, 2005. Under our standard end-user license agreement, we agree to indemnify our customers against infringement claims that may be brought by third parties asserting that our products infringe on certain intellectual property rights. In our services agreements with customers, we will also, as a matter of standard practice, agree to indemnify customers (a) against claims that may be brought by third parties asserting that the results of our services infringe on certain intellectual property rights, (b) against damages caused by our breach of certain confidentiality provisions in the contract, and (c) against damages to personal property, and death, caused by our services personnel while on-site at customer premises. These indemnification provisions are generally based on our standard contractual terms. All such provisions, whether based on our standard contracts or negotiated with a given customer, are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss is remote. The terms of the indemnifications as negotiated may vary in duration and nature, and our obligations to indemnify may be unlimited as to amount. There have been no demands for indemnity and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred to our knowledge and are not expected to occur. The Company maintains insurance that Page 53 covers such indemnification obligations, and the amount of coverage that we maintain is sufficient to cover a refund of the license and services fees received from any particular customer during the last 12 months. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to any such indemnity obligations. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for any such indemnity obligations as of September 30, 2005. When we acquire a business or a company, we may assume liability for certain events or occurrences that took place prior to the date of acquisition. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make for such obligations is undeterminable at this time. All of these obligations were grandfathered under the provisions of FIN No. 45 as they were in effect prior to December 31, 2002. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for the assumption of any such liabilities as of September 30, 2005. N.
