This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements reflecting management’s current forecast of certain aspects of our future. It is based on current information that we have assessed but which by its nature is dynamic and subject to rapid and even abrupt changes. Forward looking statements include statements regarding future operating results, liquidity, capital expenditures, product development and enhancements, numbers of personnel, strategic relationships with third parties, and strategy. The forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “anticipate” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by our forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks are described throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which you should read carefully. We would particularly refer you to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for an extended discussion of the risks confronting our business. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be considered in the context of these risk factors. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

PART I


Item 1.	*Business*

Overview

We are a leading provider of sophisticated software solutions designed specifically to address the supply and demand chain requirements of global consumer products companies, manufacturers, wholesale/distributors and retailers, as well as government and aerospace defense contractors and travel, transportation, hospitality and media organizations, and have an install base of over 5,600 customers worldwide. Our solutions enable customers to manage and optimize the coordination of supply, demand and flows of inventory throughout the supply and demand chain to the consumer. We have invested nearly $840 million in developed and acquired technology since 1996 when we became a public company. We believe the quality and breadth of our product offerings promote customer loyalty and drive repeat business as 65%, 79% and 70% of our sales were made to existing customers during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 1,600 associates and conducted business from 27 offices in three geographic regions: the Americas (includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America), Europe (Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Asia/Pacific. Each region has separate management teams and reporting structures. Our corporate offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Market Background

Historically, the process by which goods are manufactured, distributed, and ultimately sold to consumers has been understood in terms of the supply chain, running forward from the suppliers of raw materials to manufacturers and the distribution of products to meet the anticipated demand of customers and consumers; and the demand chain, extending back from the consumer to the retail store and its distribution centers. Providers of software solutions have focused on different vertical markets within these broad segments and attempted to help customers optimize the various processes relevant, in the case of the supply chain, to supplying goods to customers and retail outlets, and in the case of the demand chain, to selling and delivering goods to the ultimate consumer. JDA has been integrating solutions to address the full supply and demand chain since 2000, with the fundamental belief that the processes used in both markets are often common and could benefit from collaboration. Today we see retailers becoming increasingly focused on the upstream manufacturing supply chain and we also see manufacturers increasingly focused on becoming consumer centric.

Throughout the supply and demand chains, businesses increasingly face new challenges created by global operations and increasingly demanding consumers. These two factors are in conflict with one another as the extended global supply chain introduces longer lead times while the accelerated pace of change in consumer demand requires increased responsiveness. Consumer preferences can change rapidly and without notice, and intensified competition ensures that an organization’s production, inventory, distribution or allocation mistakes will be costly and their impact felt instantly in the market. JDA believes that in the new global marketplace, all processes involved in providing goods to the end customers and consumers should ultimately be driven by customer behavior

and consumer buying patterns. Manufacturers, suppliers and retailers all require the ability to quickly adjust their plans to changing market realities, and to collaborate to ensure timely delivery of the right products to customers and consumers at the right price at the right time. The retail and supplier community needs solutions that enable a common, shared view of the consumer signal throughout the supply and demand chain; we call this “One Synchronized View of Demand.”

JDA Solution

We primarily sell to one large segment of the market — consumer products supply and demand chain companies, which encompass retail companies as well as manufacturing and wholesale distribution vertical industries — and market our products as modular, yet integrated suites of solutions which are designed to give our customers one synchronized view of product demand across their enterprise and extended supply chain. Some of our products are specific to certain types of companies within this target market; for example, we have certain products, such as point-of-sale applications, that are only applicable to a retail operation. Our integrated suite of solutions combines the functionality of planning, optimization, execution and analysis applications to enable our customers to develop an integrated enterprise plan to track and optimize the flow of inventory through the supply and demand chain while optimizing their resources, operating efficiencies and financial results. Our customers can select individual products from our suite and implement them on a stand-alone basis or they can implement various combinations of our products to create an integrated solution.

In addition, our solutions include corporate level merchandise operations systems, which enable retailers to manage their inventory, product mix, pricing and promotional execution and enhance the productivity and accuracy of warehouse processes; in-store systems, which provide retailers with point-of-sale and back office applications to capture, analyze and transmit certain sales, store inventory and other operational information to corporate level merchandise operations systems; and transportation and logistics management solutions, which are designed to enable manufacturers, distributors, retailers, shippers, consignees, carriers, trading partners and logistics service providers to effectively manage the complexities of transportation and logistics, including multiple modes of transport such as by air, rail, sea and road.

Our solutions also include a comprehensive set of tools for advanced decision support and analysis covering strategic business planning, forecasting, promotional planning, distribution planning, manufacturing planning and scheduling, price and revenue optimization, inventory optimization, collaborative synchronization of inventory, distribution, production and material plans, category management and workforce management. In addition, we also provide revenue management solutions that enable passenger travel companies, cargo carriers, hotel and resort companies, media networks, broadcast groups and cable companies to more accurately forecast future demand, optimize the allocation of capacity, maximize revenues and improve customer satisfaction. Many of our products can be and are sold to multiple customer types and most of our products are sold across each of our geographic regions.

JDA Business Segments

We organize and manage our operations by type of customer across the following reportable business segments:


	•	Retail. This reportable business segment includes all revenues related to applications sold to retail customers.

	•	Manufacturing and Distribution. This reportable business segment includes all revenues related to applications sold to manufacturing and distribution companies, including consumer goods manufacturers, life sciences companies, high tech organizations, oil and gas companies, automotive producers and other discrete manufacturers involved with government, aerospace and defense contracts.

	•	Services Industries. This reportable business segment includes all revenues related to applications sold to customers in service industries such as travel, transportation, hospitality, media and telecommunications. The Services Industries segment is centrally managed by a team that has global responsibilities for this market.

Disclosures of certain financial information regarding our business segments and geographic regions is included in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, which are included elsewhere herein.

Business Opportunities and Growth Strategies

JDA has served the retail industry since 1985. Since 2000, we have expanded into the consumer goods manufacturing and wholesale-distribution markets through strategic acquisitions. Our market expansion has been primarily achieved through a series of ten acquisitions over the past ten years, the largest being the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. which we completed in July 2006. Our future growth plans include additional acquisitions to further expand our markets and improve our offering, revenues and profitability.

Most of our customers today, whether they are retailers, manufacturers or distributors, have already put the underlying transactional systems in place that are required to automate the basic manual tasks of buying and managing inventory and tracking all transactions from order to collection. These types of solutions provide companies with certain operational benefits and fundamental information; however, these systems do not help improve the planning and optimization aspects of their business. We believe the next key challenge for many retail, manufacturing and distribution companies worldwide will be their ability to continually improve operating margins and efficiencies. To this end, we believe our market position and business opportunities are strong; we are the leading company that currently provides an established suite of solutions that address these needs and other additional, often complex business challenges. We also believe this market advantage will last for several years as our competitors attempt to replicate the sophisticated solutions and level of integration that we are able to deliver today. Additionally, while our competitors attempt to replicate our capabilities, we plan to add new innovations that will enhance or expand our advantage.

Our strategy for growth in 2008 can be summarized as follows:


	•	Continued Introduction of Innovative Solutions. We will introduce several new innovative solutions during 2008 and we believe these solutions will create new revenue and market opportunities for JDA. The first two major introductions are scheduled in first quarter 2008 and will include our next generation Assortment Planning solution and a new Planogram Generator solution. These products will help ensure our continued innovative market leadership and we believe they will compete effectively against alternative solutions that may become available on the market in the coming years;

	•	Continued Improvement in Sales Execution and Business Development. We will continue to make improvements in our worldwide sales execution that will generate software sales growth. During 2007, we generated a 28% organic growth in software sales. Furthermore, each of our geographic regions achieved annual increases in software sales in 2007 compared to 2006. We believe these increases are attributable to the investments we made in business development in 2007, new additions to our sales force and our ability to capitalize on the potential of the Manugistics acquisition. We will continue with these strategies; however, we only plan for modest increases in our overall investment in sales and marketing in 2008;

	•	Establish Center of Excellence. We will make a $7.8 million incremental investment to expand our operations in India in 2008 to create a comprehensive Center of Excellence (“CoE”) that encompasses additional product development activities, customer implementation services, customer support services and internal administrative services. The investment is primarily related to the addition of approximately 230 new associates at our facility in Hyderabad, India, approximately half of which we hope to hire during the first half of 2008. We believe the CoE will provide an improved business model for JDA and enhance our growth potential and operating results by:


	Ø	Accelerating the development of new solutions and innovations through an expanded R&D bandwidth;

	Ø	Increasing the breadth and competitiveness of our consulting services through a blended delivery offering that combines high value on-shore consulting expertise and project management with lower cost off-shore resources;

	Ø	Enhancing our customer support service through faster resolution of complex customer issues;


	Ø	Accelerating the development of training content;

	Ø	Reducing the total cost of ownership of our solutions;

	Ø	Improving our competitiveness against companies that already operate low cost off-shore facilities;

	Ø	Accelerating the development of common business processes between major departments within JDA;

	Ø	Increasing our ability to take advantage of technology to optimize our internal operations; and

	Ø	Lowering our operating costs and improving our operating margins

The CoE is designed to complement and enhance our existing on-shore business model, not replace it, and our goal is to achieve all of these benefits without sacrificing our capability to work face-to-face with our customers, most of which are in the Americas and Europe. We do plan to reduce our total on-shore headcount by approximately 50 associates during 2008 through attrition and minor adjustments as related functions become available at the CoE. From an overall financial perspective, we believe the CoE will result in a net cost to JDA during 2008 as duplicate resources will be retained on-shore during the period of time we hire and train the new Indian associates in order to ensure a smooth transition. We believe the CoE will improve our operating margins from 2009 forward.


	•	Expand Partnerships. We will continue to develop and expand the network of partners and value-added resellers (VARs) who help promote JDA solutions globally. We will also leverage the success of our JDA Alliance Connection program, first launched in 2007, that is designed to provide increased value to our partners and to maximize their ability to generate additional revenues for both themselves and JDA.

Product Strategy

In January 2007, we announced the adoption of our JDA Enterprise Architecture platform. This platform provides the strategic technology base that we will use to integrate and develop new solutions for our target markets. Customer acceptance of the JDA Enterprise Architecture has generally been positive, and we plan to expand the use of this platform over time to provide an increasingly seamless solution for our customers. During 2007, we launched several key integrations between JDA Enterprise Architecture-based solutions and other products in our solution suite. In 2008, we will continue this process, integrating additional JDA products to the JDA Enterprise Architecture.

The JDA Enterprise Architecture is designed to support our advanced planning and optimization solutions via a common platform for user interfaces, master and operational data, security, exception management, workflow, analysis and reporting. The JDA Enterprise Architecture features a “grid computing facility,” which utilizes parallel processing that enables the largest global customers to solve their complex business challenges and handle the large number of SKUs, time horizons and parameter settings. With the “grid computing facility” customers can model their complete supply chain without the need to make simplifying assumptions. We believe the JDA Enterprise Architecture provides our customers with better visibility of key performance indicators and “one view” of demand across all enterprise planning and optimization activities thereby allowing more profitable and informed decisions in manufacturing, sourcing, supply chain planning, distribution, merchandising, logistics, promotions, replenishment and shelf optimization. The JDA Enterprise Architecture is architected primarily using Java J2EE technology. We are in the process of enhancing the interoperability between the Microsoft .Net technologies and the JDA Enterprise Architecture, and we plan to launch various solutions in 2008 that take advantage of this interoperability.

In 2008, our product strategy will focus on providing a comprehensive solution suite that allows our customers to implement an “Integrated Planning and Execution” solution. Integrated Planning and Execution represents the ability for our customers to coordinate their decision making activities across the enterprise through certain common processes, such as a single demand plan for the whole enterprise. It also represents the ability to ensure that planning systems are constantly in synchronization with execution systems and activities across the enterprise. This strategy requires a broad and integrated suite of planning solutions that can interoperate as well as the ability to transform those plans into action through execution systems. Our products provide all of these capabilities and we believe the breadth and depth of our solution offerings is a distinct competitive advantage. We also believe our

ability to offer customers flexibility in their deployment approach provides a distinct competitive advantage as customers can implement individual solutions on a stand-alone basis or implement various combinations of our products to create an integrated solution.

Product development expense for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $51.2 million, $56.3 million and $44.4 million, respectively.

Investment Protection Program

We have established an Investment Protection Program (“IPP”) to protect our customers’ investment in JDA products as we migrate to new technology platforms. Under the IPP, existing customers are provided with the right to like-for-like functionality in a new technology platform without additional license fee subject to certain conditions including a requirement that the new solution has no more than minimal differences in price, features and functionality from the existing products. Customers will pay any required third party charges associated with the new technology platform.

Products

With the expanding complexities of today’s global economy, increased competitive imperatives, challenging new business models and increased customer sophistication, the movement towards a holistic perspective over the entire supply and demand chain is converging into what we refer to as “Integration Planning and Execution.” We offer a complete, supply and demand chain industry-specialized suite of applications with the depth and breadth of capabilities necessary for enabling Integration Planning and Execution. The following table provides a listing and brief description of the products in our solution suite that provide customers with a flexible platform and the ability to optimize advanced decision making processes.

activity or upgrade processing. We also offer enhanced support services that provide customers with difficult to find technical and database administration skills and an outsource alternative to help desk and other information technology services. In addition, we have a Platinum Support offering that includes 24x7 support for critical issues on certain of our products, annual strategic planning meetings, technical and functional health checks, and customized training. The vast majority of our customers have participated in one or more of our customer support solutions programs and we have historically realized a retention rate of approximately 95% in our installed customer base.

Consulting Services


	•	Consulting Implementation Services. Our consulting services group consists of project managers, business consultants, systems analysts and technical personnel with extensive retail, manufacturing, and distribution industry experience. The consulting services group assists our customers in all phases of systems implementation, including program and project management, business process analysis and design, systems planning and design, organizational/process benchmarking reviews, customer-specific configuration of application modules, performance tuning and on-site implementation or conversion from existing systems. We also offer a variety of post-implementation services designed to maximize our customers’ return on software investment, which include enhanced utilization reviews, system and process health checks, upgrade assessment and planning and executive strategic planning sessions.

	•	Strategic Business Services. We have historically provided a limited range of strategic business consulting services including our Business Performance Optimization service which aligns and integrates business activities, organizational structure, performance measures and systems when there are changes in business strategy, mergers or acquisitions and organizational realignment. Based on customer feedback received by the Company, we have developed and will provide a broader offering of strategic consulting services offerings in 2008 that we believe will increase our presence in the strategic consulting market.

	•	Expanded Services Offerings through the CoE. Our investment in the CoE during 2008 will encompass, among other activities, customer implementation services that enable us to provide a blended delivery offering that combines high value on-shore consulting expertise and project management with lower cost off-shore resources. Over the past few years, the market for technical services related to the implementation and use of our products has become increasingly competitive and we have experienced a growing loss of potential consulting services to lower cost off-shore and small boutique consulting providers. We believe the CoE will complement our existing on-shore consultants and allow us to capture more of the total services dollars being spent by customers for implementation and other services related to our products. We believe that this initiative will expand our services offerings, increase our competitiveness and improve the profitability of our overall consulting business.

	•	Training. We offer a comprehensive education and training program for our customers, associates and business partners through our Business Management Institute (“BMI”) and maintain a full-time staff consisting of professional instructors and course developers. BMI services include multimodal process and solution training, role-based certification tracks, benchmarking surveys and services and best practice/business strategy information. BMI features a curriculum for each of our software solutions and prepaid bundled training packages that range from basic overviews, implementation and technical/developer classes to business process education and key topics and techniques for the supply chain. Courses are offered primarily at our in-house classroom facilities in Scottsdale, Rockville, Atlanta, Bentonville, Chicago, Dallas, the United Kingdom and Singapore, and through customized on-site classes. In addition, we offer JDALearn.com, a web-based education alternative sold on a subscription basis, which provides online learning in areas such as replenishment and allocation, category management, space and floor planning, and merchandise planning.

Consulting services are generally billed bi-weekly on an hourly basis or pursuant to the terms of a fixed price contract. In addition, we augment our services on large-scale implementations and extensive business process re-engineering projects with third-party business alliances, consulting firms and system integrators. Consulting engagements have typically ranged from one month for certain Space & Category Management Solutions to over

two years for our larger Merchandise Operations Systems, Demand and Allocation & Replenishment Solutions; however, the time required to complete a project can vary significantly based on the size of the customer and the number and type of applications being implemented.

Sales and Marketing

We market our products and services primarily through our direct sales force. The direct sales force for the Americas region is based in Scottsdale, Arizona with 13 additional regional sales and support offices across the United States, Canada and Latin America. Our international direct sales force is located in 14 sales and support offices in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and Japan. We have created dedicated sales organizations in each of our geographic regions, as well as the Services Industries business unit. As of December 31, 2007, our global sales and marketing organization consisted of 222 employees including quota carrying sales representatives in the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific of 36, 16 and 16, respectively. We expanded our investment in the sales and marketing organization during 2007 and now believe that we have established a global sales presence which is appropriate for our current size of operation. We plan modest increases in our overall investment in sales and marketing in 2008.

We continue to develop the network of partners and Value-Added Resellers (VARs) who support us in the attainment of our goals. We expanded the use of VARs extensively in our European region during 2006 and 2007. We believe this model has helped us to achieve a stronger presence in those geographies within this diverse region where we do not have direct operations. We have signed a partnership agreements with Sirius and Logicalis, two USA-based hardware resellers to provide hardware sales support to complement the sales of our products in North America. Our Alliance Connection program, first launched in 2007, is designed to provide increased value to our partners and maximize their ability to generate additional revenues for both themselves and JDA.

Sales to new customers have historically required between three and twelve months from generation of the sales lead to the execution of a software license agreement. Sales cycles are typically longer for larger dollar projects, large multi-national organizations and companies in certain geographic regions. During the past three years, we have noted an increased requirement for senior executives, boards of directors or significant equity investor approval for larger dollar contracts that have lengthened the traditional time from lead generation to the execution of a software agreement. We believe our ability to offer a comprehensive portfolio of integrated software applications that can be installed independently or as a complete solution, has created increased cross-selling opportunities to existing customers.

Competition

We believe that while our markets are still subject to intense competition, the number of competitors in many of our application markets has decreased over the past five years. We believe the principal competitive factors in our markets are feature and functionality, product reputation, performance and scalability, quality of referenceable accounts, vendor viability, ability to implement, retail and demand chain industry expertise, total solution cost, technology platform and quality of customer support.

We have two types of competitors: the first type being Oracle and SAP AG, two large horizontal software companies that have increased their presence in the retail marketplace over the past few years, and the second type being the smaller point solution providers who typically focus on limited solution areas. We believe that Oracle and SAP AG represent our more important long-term competitors as we expand our product offerings and compete head-to-head with them on broader system selection opportunities. We also expect Oracle and SAP AG to provide more aggressive competition for us due to the strength of their brands and market positions.

Proprietary Rights

Our success and competitive position is dependent in part upon our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspect of our technology. The reverse engineering, unauthorized copying, or other misappropriation of our technology could enable third parties to benefit from our technology without paying for it.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secrets, trademarks, confidentiality procedures, contractual restrictions and patents to protect our proprietary technology. We seek to protect the source code to our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws. Effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We license our software products under signed license agreements that impose restrictions on the licensee’s ability to utilize the software and do not permit the re-sale, sublicense or other transfer of the software. Finally, we seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees and independent consultants to execute confidentiality agreements with us and by restricting access to our source code.

Our standard software license agreements contain an infringement indemnity clause under which we agree to indemnify and hold harmless our customers and business partners against liability and damages arising from claims of various intellectual property infringement by our products. These terms constitute a form of guarantee that is subject to the disclosure requirements, but not the initial recognition or measurement provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others.” We have never lost an infringement claim and our costs to defend such lawsuits have been insignificant. Although it is possible that in the future third parties may claim that our current or potential future software solutions infringe on their intellectual property rights, we do not currently expect a significant impact on our business, operating results, or financial condition.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007 we had 1,596 employees: 1,011 were based in the Americas region, 206 were based in Europe, and 379 were based in the Asia/Pacific region, including 259 in India. Of the total, 222 were engaged in sales and marketing, 429 were in consulting services, 265 were engaged in client support services, 462 were in product development, and 218 were in administrative functions. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. We have never had a work stoppage and none of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Available Information

Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those filed or furnished pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are available free of charge from our website at www.jda.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Item 1A.	*Risk Factors*

We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section describes material risks and uncertainties that we believe may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or the market price of our stock. This section should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2007 and for the twelve months then ended contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Risks Related To Our Business

We may misjudge when software sales will be realized

Software license revenues in any quarter depend substantially upon contracts signed and the related shipment of software in that quarter. It is therefore difficult for us to accurately predict software license revenues. Because of the timing of our sales, we typically recognize the substantial majority of our software license revenues in the last weeks or days of the quarter. In addition, it is difficult to forecast the timing of large individual software license sales with a high degree of certainty due to the extended length of the sales cycle and the generally more complex contractual terms that may be associated with such licenses that could result in the deferral of some or all of the revenue to future periods. Our customers and potential customers, especially for large individual software license sales, are requiring that their senior executives, board of directors and significant equity investors approve such sales without the benefit of the direct input from our sales representatives. As a result, large individual sales have sometimes occurred in quarters subsequent to when we anticipated, our sales process may be less visible than in the past and sales cycles are more difficult to predict. We expect to experience continued difficulty in accurately forecasting the timing of deals. If we receive any significant cancellation or deferral of customer orders, or we are unable to conclude license negotiations by the end of a fiscal quarter, our operating results may be lower than anticipated.

Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability.

Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our software and related services. A regional and/or global change in the economy and financial markets could result in delay or cancellation of customer purchases. Current adverse conditions in credit markets and their effects on the United States and global economies and markets is an example of a negative change that has delayed certain customer purchases. Although these adverse conditions have only delayed a small number of customer deals to date, a further worsening or broadening, or protracted extension, of these conditions may have a more significant negative impact on our operating results.

In addition, our growth strategy contemplates significant contributions from acquisitions. In general, we prefer to use cash from operations and debt rather than equity to acquire companies. The availability and cost of debt are therefore dependencies for the Company and to the extent that debt becomes less available or more costly, our ability to execute our growth strategy will be impaired. Historically, developments associated with terrorist attacks on United States’ interests, continued violence in the Middle East, natural catastrophes or contagious diseases have resulted in economic, political and other uncertainties, and factors such as these could further adversely affect our revenue growth and operating results. If demand for our software and related services decrease, our revenues would decrease and our operating results would be adversely affected which, in turn, may cause our stock price to fall.

We may not receive significant revenues from our current research and development efforts.

Developing and localizing software is expensive and the investment in product development often involves a long payback cycle. We have and expect to continue making significant investments in software research and development and related product opportunities. Accelerated product introductions and short product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and development that could adversely affect our operating results if not offset by revenue increases. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position. However, it is difficult to estimate when, if ever, we will receive significant revenues from these investments.

Our decision to move to the JDA Enterprise Architecture may present new risks.

We are developing our next generation JDA Enterprise Architecture solutions based upon service oriented architecture technologies. The JDA Enterprise Architecture is based on the technical platform originally developed by Manugistics and is based on Java J2EE. We made a decision in January 2007 to use the JDA Enterprise Architecture as our primary technology platform, rather than the Microsoft .NET platform that had been our primary technology platform for new product development. A significant factor in selecting the JDA Enterprise Architecture is that it is more mature than the Portfolio-Enabled platform we had been developing because Manugistics began its development efforts approximately two years before we began developing our

Microsoft .NET based applications. As of December 31, 2007, there are nearly 200 customers that have installed and are using the JDA Enterprise Architecture in production.

The risks of our commitment to the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform include, but are not limited to, the following:


	•	The possibility that it may be more difficult than we currently anticipate to develop additional, full-featured products for the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform and complete the planned transition of our product suite;

	•	The possibility that our sales organization may encounter difficulties in determining whether to propose existing products or the next generation JDA Enterprise Architecture products to current or prospective customers;

	•	The possibility we may not complete the transition to the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform within a timely manner;

	•	Our ability to transition our customer base onto the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform as additional products become available;

	•	The possibility that it may take several quarters for our consulting and support organizations to be fully trained and proficient on this new technology and, as a result, we may encounter difficulties implementing and supporting new products or versions of existing products based on the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform;

	•	We may be required to supplement our consulting and support organizations with JDA Enterprise Architecture proficient resources from our product development teams to support early JDA Enterprise Architecture implementations which could impact our development schedule for the release of additional JDA Enterprise Architecture products.

The risk associated with developing products that utilize new technologies remains high. Despite our increasing confidence in this investment and our efforts to mitigate the risks of the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform project, there can be no assurances that our efforts to migrate many of our current products and to develop new JDA Enterprise Architecture solutions will be successful. If the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform project is not successful, it likely will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may face liability if our products are defective or if we make errors implementing our products

Our software products are highly complex and sophisticated. As a result, they may occasionally contain design defects, software errors or security problems that could be difficult to detect and correct. In addition, implementation of our products may involve customer-specific configuration by third parties or us, and may involve integration with systems developed by third parties. In particular, it is common for complex software programs such as ours to contain undetected errors, particularly in early versions of our products. They are discovered only after the product has been implemented and used over time with different computer systems and in a variety of applications and environments. Despite extensive testing, we have in the past discovered certain defects or errors in our products or custom configurations only after our software products have been used by many clients. In addition, our clients may occasionally experience difficulties integrating our products with other hardware or software in their environment that are unrelated to defects in our products. Such defects, errors or difficulties may cause future delays in product introductions, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources, require design modifications or impair customer satisfaction with our products.

We believe that significant investments in research and development are required to remain competitive, and that speed to market is critical to our success. Our future performance will depend in large part on our ability to enhance our existing products through internal development and strategic partnering, internally develop new products which leverage both our existing customers and sales force, and strategically acquire complementary solutions that add functionality for specific business processes to an enterprise-wide system. If clients experience significant problems with implementation of our products or are otherwise dissatisfied with their functionality or

performance or if they fail to achieve market acceptance for any reason, our market reputation could suffer, and we could be subject to claims for significant damages. There can be no assurances that the contract provisions in our customer agreements that limit our liability and exclude consequential damages will be enforced. Any such damages claim could impair our market reputation and could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may have difficulty implementing our products.

Our software products are complex and perform or directly affect mission-critical functions across many different functional and geographic areas of the enterprise. Consequently, implementation of our software products can be a lengthy process, and commitment of resources by our clients is subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control. The implementation time for certain of our applications, including Merchandise Operations Systems, Demand, Fulfillment and Revenue Management solutions can be longer and more complicated than our other applications as they typically (i) involve more significant integration efforts in order to complete implementation, (ii) require the execution of implementation procedures in multiple layers of software, (iii) offer a customer more deployment options and other configuration choices, and (iv) may involve third party integrators to change business processes concurrent with the implementation of the software. Delays in the implementations of any of our software products, whether by our business partners or us, may result in client dissatisfaction, disputes with our customers, or damage to our reputation.

In addition, approximately 20% of our consulting services revenues are derived under fixed price arrangements that require us to provide identified deliverables for a fixed fee. If we are unable to meet our contractual obligations under fixed price contracts within our estimated cost structure, our operating results could suffer.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secrets, trademarks, confidentiality procedures, contractual restrictions and patents to protect our proprietary technology. Despite our efforts, these measures can only provide limited protection. Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer portions of our products or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property. In addition, the laws of some countries do not provide the same level of protection of our proprietary rights as do the laws of the United States or are not adequately enforced in a timely manner. If we cannot protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, we may not remain competitive.

Third parties may claim we infringe their intellectual property rights.

We periodically receive notices from others claiming we are infringing their intellectual property rights, principally patent rights. We expect the number of such claims will increase as the functionality of products overlap and the volume of issued software patents continues to increase. Responding to any infringement claim, regardless of its validity, could:


	•	be time-consuming, costly and/or result in litigation;

	•	divert management’s time and attention from developing our business;

	•	require us to pay monetary damages or enter into royalty and licensing agreements that we would not normally find acceptable;

	•	require us to stop selling or to redesign certain of our products; or

	•	require us to satisfy indemnification obligations to our customers.

If a successful claim is made against us and we fail to develop or license a substitute technology, our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be adversely affected.

If we lose access to critical third-party software or technology, our costs could increase and the introduction of new products and product enhancements could be delayed, potentially hurting our competitive position

We license and integrate technology from third parties in certain of our software products. For example, we license the Uniface client/server application development technology from Compuware, Inc. for use in Portfolio Merchandise Management, certain applications from Silvon Software, Inc. for use in Performance Analysis by IDEAS, Cognos for use in JDA Reporting and JDA Analytics, the WebLogic application from BEA Systems, Inc. or the IBM Websphere applications for use in most of the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform solutions and the Data Integrator application from Business Object S.A which is also used in certain of the products acquired from Manugistics. Our third party licenses generally require us to pay royalties and fulfill confidentiality obligations. We also resell Oracle database licenses. If we are unable to continue to license any of this third party software, or if the third party licensors do not adequately maintain or update their products, we would face delays in the releases of our software until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our software products. These delays, if they occur, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. It is also possible that intellectual property acquired from third parties through acquisitions, mergers, licenses or otherwise obtained may not have been adequately protected, or infringes another parties intellectual property rights.

We may face difficulties in our highly competitive markets

We encounter competitive products from a different set of vendors in each of our primary product categories. We believe that while our markets are still subject to intense competition, the number of competitors in many of our application markets has decreased over the past five years. We believe the principal competitive factors in our markets are feature and functionality, product reputation, performance and scalability, quality of referenceable accounts, vendor viability, ability to implement, retail and demand chain industry expertise, total solution cost, technology platform and quality of customer support.

The intensely competitive markets in which we compete can put pressure on us to reduce our prices. If our competitors offer deep discounts on certain products, we may need to lower prices or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Any such changes would likely reduce margins and could adversely affect operating results. Our software license updates and product support fees are generally priced as a percentage of our new license fees. Our competitors may offer a lower percentage pricing on product updates and support, which could put pressure on us to further discount our new license prices. Any broadly-based changes to our prices and pricing policies could cause new software license and services revenues to decline or be delayed as our sales force implements and our customers adjust to the new pricing policies.

The enterprise software market continues to consolidate and this has resulted in larger, new competitors with significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we possess. This could create a significant competitive advantage for our competitors and negatively impact our business. The consolidation trend is evidenced by our acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc., Oracle’s acquisitions of Retek, ProfitLogic, Inc., 360Commerce, and Global Logistics Technologies, Inc. (G-LOG), and SAP AG’s acquisitions of Triversity, Inc. and Khimetrics, Inc. Oracle did not compete with our retail specific products prior to its acquisitions of Retek, ProfitLogic, Inc., 360Commerce, and Global Logistics Technologies, Inc. It is difficult to estimate what long term effect these acquisitions will have on our competitive environment. We have encountered competitive situations with SAP AG where, in order to encourage customers to purchase licenses of its non-retail specific applications and gain retail market share, we suspect they have also offered to license at no charge certain of its retail software applications that compete with our solutions. If large competitors such as Oracle and SAP AG and other large private companies are willing to license their retail and/or other applications at no charge it may result in a more difficult competitive environment for our products. In addition, we could face competition from large, multi-industry technology companies that have historically not offered an enterprise solution set to the retail supply chain market. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete successfully for customers or acquisition targets against our current or future competitors, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Although we are in the process of increasing our off-shore resources through our CoE in India, our consulting services business model is currently largely based on relatively high cost onshore resources and we are increasingly faced with competition from low cost off-shore service providers and smaller boutique consulting firms. This competition is expected to continue to grow and while we continue to successfully command premium rates for our on-shore services, which we believe offer good overall value for the money, our on-shore hourly rates are much higher than those offered by these competitors. As these competitors gain more experience with our products, the quality gap between our offerings may diminish and result in decreased revenues and profits from our consulting practice. In addition, we face increased competition for services work from ex-employees of JDA who offer services directly or through lower cost boutique consulting firms. These competitive service providers have taken business from JDA and while they are currently relatively small compared with our consulting services business, if they grow successfully then it will be largely at our expense. We are attempting to improve our competitive position by developing our own offshore consulting services group at our CoE; however, we cannot guarantee these efforts will be successful or enhance our ability to compete.

There are many risks associated with international operations

International revenues represented 40% of our total revenues in 2007 as compared to 39% and 41% in 2006 and 2005, respectively. As we grow our international operations, we may need to recruit and hire new consulting, product development, sales and marketing and support personnel in the countries in which we have or will establish offices. Entry into new international markets typically requires the establishment of new marketing and distribution channels, as well as the development and subsequent support of localized versions of our software. International introductions of our products often require a significant investment in advance of anticipated future revenues. In addition, the opening of a new office typically results in initial recruiting and training expenses and reduced labor efficiencies associated with the introduction of products to a new market. If we are less successful in a new market than we expect, we may not be able to realize an adequate return on our initial investment and our operating results could suffer. We cannot guarantee that the countries in which we operate will have a sufficient pool of qualified personnel from which to hire, that we will be successful at hiring, training or retaining such personnel or that we can expand or contract our international operations in a timely, cost effective manner. If we have to downsize certain international operations, the costs to do so are typically much higher than downsizing costs in the United States, particularly in Europe.

Our international business operations are subject to risks associated with international activities, including:


	•	Currency fluctuations, which could significantly increase with our planned expansion of the CoE in India;

	•	Higher operating costs due to local laws or regulations;

	•	Lower consulting margins;

	•	Unexpected changes in employment and other regulatory requirements;

	•	Tariffs and other trade barriers;

	•	Costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;

	•	Longer accounts receivable payment cycles in certain countries;

	•	Potentially negative tax consequences;

	•	Difficulties in staffing and managing geographically disparate operations;

	•	Greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property, licensing and other trade restrictions;

	•	Ability to negotiate and have enforced favorable contract provisions;

	•	Repatriation of earnings;

	•	The burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;

	•	Anti-American sentiment due to the war with Iraq, and other American policies that may be unpopular in certain regions;


	•	The challenges of finding qualified management for our international operations; and

	•	General economic conditions in international markets.

We expect that an increasing portion of our international software license, consulting services and maintenance services revenues will be denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If we expand our international operations, exposures to gains and losses on foreign currency transactions may increase. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations but we do not hedge ongoing or anticipated revenues, costs and expenses, including the additional costs we expect to incur with the expansion of the CoE in India. We cannot guarantee that any currency exchange strategy would be successful in avoiding exchange-related losses.

We may experience expansion delays or difficulties with our CoE in India

We are in the process of significantly expanding our CoE in Hyderabad, India. In order to take advantage of cost efficiencies associated with India’s lower wage scale, we intend to expand the CoE during 2008 beyond a research and development center to include consulting services, customer support and information technology resources. We believe that a properly functioning CoE will be important in achieving desired long-term operating results. Delays in expanding the CoE or operating difficulties could impair our ability to develop, implement and support our products, which would likely negatively impact our operating results. Potential reasons for delays or difficulties, include, but are not limited to:


	•	Unexpected increases in labor costs in India;

	•	Inability to hire or retain sufficient personnel with the necessary skill sets to meet our needs;

	•	Economic, security and political conditions in India;

	•	Inadequate facilities or communications infrastructure; and

	•	Local law or regulatory issues.

We may have difficulty attracting and retaining skilled personnel

Our success is heavily dependent upon our ability to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate skilled personnel, including sales and marketing representatives, qualified software engineers involved in ongoing product development, and consulting personnel who assist in the implementation of our products and provide other services. The market for such individuals is competitive. For example, it has been particularly difficult to attract and retain product development personnel experienced in object oriented development technologies. Given the critical roles of our sales, product development and consulting staffs, our inability to recruit successfully or any significant loss of key personnel would adversely affect us. A high level of employee mobility and aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel characterizes the software industry. It may be particularly difficult to retain or compete for skilled personnel against larger, better known software companies. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our current personnel, attract and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future, or be able to assimilate the employees from any acquired businesses. We will continue to adjust the size and composition of our workforce to match the different product and geographic demand cycles. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel, or assimilate the employees from any acquired businesses, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We are dependent on key personnel

Our performance depends in large part on the continued performance of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly the performance and services of James D. Armstrong our Chairman and Hamish N. J. Brewer our Chief Executive Officer. We do not have in place “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of the services of Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Brewer, or other key executive officers or employees

without a successor in place, or any difficulties associated with a successor, could negatively affect our financial performance.

We may have difficulty integrating acquisitions

We continually evaluate potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, products and technologies, including those that are significant in size and scope. In pursuit of our strategy to acquire complementary products, we have completed ten acquisitions over the past ten years, the most recent being Manugistics Group, Inc. in July 2006. The risks we commonly encounter in acquisitions include:


	•	We may have difficulty assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company;

	•	The challenge to integrate new products and technologies into our sales and marketing process, particularly in the case of smaller acquisitions;

	•	We may have difficulty effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with our current products and technologies, particularly where such products reside on different technology platforms, or overlap with our products;

	•	Our ongoing business may be disrupted by transition and integration issues;

	•	We may not be able to retain key technical and managerial personnel from the acquired business;

	•	We may be unable to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses;

	•	We may have difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;

	•	Our relationships with partner companies or third-party providers of technology or products could be adversely affected;

	•	Our relationships with employees and customers could be impaired;

	•	Our due diligence process may fail to identify significant issues with product quality, product architecture, legal or tax contingencies, customer obligations and product development, among other things;

	•	As successor we may be subject to certain liabilities of our acquisition targets; and

	•	We may be required to sustain significant exit or impairment charges if products acquired in business combinations are unsuccessful.

Government contracts are subject to unique costs, terms, regulations, claims and penalties.

As a result of the Manugistics acquisition, we acquired a number of contracts with the government. Government contracts entail many unique risks, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) early termination of contracts by the Government; (ii) costly and complex competitive bidding process; (iii) required extensive use of subcontractors, whose work may be deficient or not performed in a timely manner; (iv) significant penalties associated with employee misconduct in the highly regulated Government marketplace; (v) changes or delays in Government funding that could negatively impact contracts; and (vi) onerous contractual provisions unique to the Government such as “most favored customer” provisions.

Risks Related To Our Industry

It may be difficult to identify, adopt and develop product architecture that is compatible with emerging industry standards

The markets for our software products are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. We continuously evaluate new technologies and when appropriate implement into our products advanced technology such as our current JDA Enterprise Architecture platform effort. However, if we fail in our product development

efforts to accurately address in a timely manner, evolving industry standards, new technology advancements or important third-party interfaces or product architectures, sales of our products and services may suffer.

Our software products can be licensed with a variety of popular industry standard platforms and are authored in various development environments using different programming languages and underlying databases and architectures. There may be future or existing platforms that achieve popularity in the marketplace that may not be compatible with our software product design. Developing and maintaining consistent software product performance across various technology platforms could place a significant strain on our resources and software product release schedules, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We may be impacted by shifts in the retail supply chain

Historically, we have derived over 75% of our revenues from the license of software products and the performance of related services to retail customers. With the acquisition of Manugistics this percentage decreased, as expected, to 54% in the second half of 2006 and 52% for the year ended December 31, 2007. However, since many of manufacturing and distribution customers acquired from Manugistics supply products directly or indirectly to the retail industry, the success of most of our customers is directly linked to general economic conditions, as well as those of the retail industry. In addition, we believe that the licensing of certain of our software products involves a large capital expenditure, which is often accompanied by large-scale hardware purchases or other capital commitments. As a result, demand for our products and services could decline in the event of instability or potential economic downturn.

Even though retailers in general have enjoyed good operating results over the past five years, we believe the retail industry has remained cautious with their level of investment in information technology and recent results have dropped dramatically as the economy has slowed. In 2007 only a small number of our sales opportunities were negatively impacted by the worsening economic environment and our sales results have been improving in recent quarters, as such, we remain cautiously optimistic regarding our future prospects. We believe that the retail industry will be negatively impacted if weak economic conditions or geopolitical concerns persist for an extended period of time. Weak and uncertain economic conditions have in the past, and may in the future, negatively impact our revenues, including a potential deterioration of our maintenance revenue base as customers look to reduce their costs, elongate our selling cycles, and delay, suspend or reduce the demand for our products. As a result, it is difficult in the current economic environment to predict exactly when specific software licenses will close within a six to nine month time frame. In addition, weak and uncertain economic conditions could impair our customers’ ability to pay for our products or services. Any of these factors could adversely impact our business, quarterly or annual operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related To Our Stock

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly, which could adversely affect the price of our stock

Because of the difficulty in predicting the timing of particular sales within any one quarter, we provide annual guidance only. Our actual quarterly operating results have varied in the past and are expected to continue to vary in the future. Fluctuating quarterly results can affect our annual guidance. If our quarterly or annual operating results, particularly our software revenues, fail to meet management’s or analysts’ expectations, the price of our stock could decline. Many factors may cause these fluctuations, including:


	•	The difficulty of predicting demand for our software products and services, including the size and timing of individual contracts and our ability to recognize revenue with respect to contracts signed in a given quarter, particularly with respect to our larger customers;

	•	Changes in the length and complexity of our sales cycle, including changes in the contract approval process at our customers and potential customers that now require a formal proposal process, a longer decision making period and additional layers of customer approval, often including authorization of the transaction by senior executives, boards of directors and significant equity investors;

	•	Competitive pricing pressures and competitive success or failure on significant transactions;


	•	Customer order deferrals resulting from the anticipation of new products, economic uncertainty, disappointing operating results by the customer, management changes, corporate reorganizations or otherwise;

	•	The timing of new software product and technology introductions and enhancements to our software products or those of our competitors, and market acceptance of our new software products and technology;

	•	Lack of desired features and functionality in our individual products or our suite of products;

	•	Changes in the number, size or timing of new and renewal maintenance contracts or cancellations;

	•	Unplanned changes in our operating expenses;

	•	Changes in the mix of domestic and international revenues, or expansion or contraction of international operations;

	•	Our ability to complete fixed price consulting contracts within budget;

	•	Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

	•	Lower-than-anticipated utilization in our consulting services group as a result of increased competition, reduced levels of software sales, reduced implementation times for our products, changes in the mix of demand for our software products, mergers and consolidations within our customer base, or other reasons; and

	•	Our limited ability to reduce costs in the short term to compensate for any unanticipated shortfall in product or services revenue.

Charges to earnings resulting from past or future acquisitions or internal reorganizations may also adversely affect our operating results. Under purchase accounting, we allocate the total purchase price to an acquired company’s net tangible assets, amortizable intangible assets and in-process research and development based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition and record the excess of the purchase price over those fair values as goodwill. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain. As a result, any of the following or other factors could result in material charges that would adversely affect our results:


	•	Loss on impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets;

	•	Changes in the useful lives or the amortization of identifiable intangible assets;

	•	Accrual of newly identified pre-merger contingent liabilities, in which case the related charges could be required to be included in earnings in the period in which the accrual is determined to the extent it is identified subsequent to the finalization of the purchase price allocation;

	•	Charges to income to eliminate certain JDA pre-merger activities that duplicate those of the acquired company or to reduce our cost structure; and

	•	Changes in deferred tax assets and valuation allowances.

In addition, fluctuations in the price of our common stock may expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits. Defending against such lawsuits could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources. Furthermore, any settlement or adverse determination of these lawsuits could subject us to significant liabilities.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and stockholders’ rights plan and Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control

Our certificate of incorporation, which authorizes the issuance of “blank check preferred” stock, our stockholders’ rights plan which permits our stockholders to counter takeover attempts, and Delaware state corporate laws which restrict business combinations between a corporation and 15% or more owners of outstanding voting stock of the corporation for a three-year period, individually or in combination, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a JDA stockholder may consider favorable.

We sold 50,000 shares of a new designated series of preferred stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) to funds affiliated with Thoma Cressey Bravo Equity Partners in connection with our acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. on July 5, 2006. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock contain certain voting rights that require us to get approval of a majority of the holders if we want to take certain actions, including a change in control. These voting rights could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that another stockholder may consider favorable.

Our convertible preferred stock may adversely impact JDA and our common stockholders or have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Manugistics may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference in the amount of $50 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, which must be paid before common stockholders would receive funds in the event of liquidation, including some changes of control and a redemption right after September 6, 2013 to receive a redemption value of $50 million. In addition, we are required to redeem the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock in certain circumstances, including a change in control. We have also agreed not to issue securities senior to or on a par with the Series B Preferred Stock while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to raise additional funds.


Item 1B.	*Unresolved Staff Comments* — None


Item 2.	*Properties*

As of December 31, 2007, we leased office space in the Americas for 13 regional sales and support offices across the United States, Canada and Latin America, and for 14 other international sales and support offices located in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and Japan. The leases are primarily non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms ranging from one to 20 years that expire at various dates through the year 2018. None of the leases contain contingent rental payments; however, certain of the leases contain scheduled rent increases and renewal options. We expect that in the normal course of business most of these leases will be renewed or that suitable additional or alternative space will be available on commercially reasonable terms as needed. We believe our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs and for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2007, we have approximately 38,000 square feet of excess space that we are trying to sublet.

In March 2007, we sold a 15,000 square foot office facility in the United Kingdom for approximately $6.3 million and recognized a gain of approximately $4.1 million.

We own our corporate office facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. The corporate office facility includes a 136,000 square foot, three story office building, a two-story parking garage, and approximately 8.8 acres of land upon which these structures are located. The corporate office is used for certain of our sales, marketing, consulting, customer support, training, and product development functions, as well as executive and administrative functions.


Item 3.	*Legal Proceedings*

We are involved in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance, management does not currently believe the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Item 4.	*Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders* — None during fourth quarter 2007.

PART II


Item 5.	*Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters*

Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “JDAS.” The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of our common stock for the two most recent fiscal years as reported on NASDAQ.


Year Ended 2007	High		Low

1st Quarter	$	16.25	$	13.66
2nd Quarter		20.20		14.77

On March 7, 2008, the closing sale price for our common stock was $17.06 per share. On this date, there were approximately 185 holders of record of our common stock. This figure does not reflect what we believe are more than 7,000 beneficial stockholders whose shares are held in nominee names by brokers and other institutions. We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock. Since we presently intend to retain future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

See Item 1A for a discussion of factors which have and may continue to impact our operating results and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

See Item 12 for information regarding securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

(1)		The increase in total assets in 2006 resulted primarily from the goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. in July 2006. Simultaneous with the acquisition, we also entered into a credit agreement for $175 million of aggregate long-term loans and issued 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $50 million in cash to a private equity investment firm. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of the transaction.

(2)		We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock.


Item 7.	*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

Significant Trends and Developments in Our Business

Annual Guidance for 2008. The following summarizes our annual guidance for 2008 and includes ranges for software revenues, total revenues and GAAP earnings per share that we believe are realistic and achievable:


	Guidance for 2008
	Low End		High End

Software revenues	$	75 million	$	85 million
Total revenues	$	382 million	$	395 million
GAAP earnings per share	$	0.76	$	0.78

It is normal for our business to experience quarterly fluctuations and as result, we do not plan to provide quarter-to-quarter guidance during 2008. We remain focused on delivering year-over-year growth and will only revise our annual guidance, as necessary during the course of the year.

Our Plans do not Contemplate Significant Economic Impact on our Software Sales. Despite uncertainties in the economy, we remain cautiously optimistic about our prospects for 2008 due to our recent strong sales performance. Software sales will continue to be the leading indicator for our business and we believe the size and quality of our sales pipeline is strong as we enter 2008. We have identified only a small number of transactions during 2007 that appear to have been impacted by the economy and that resulted in either a reduction in the scope of the license or in the indefinite delay of a planned project. However, there is inherent uncertainty in our pipeline and due to the nature of our sales cycle, we have limited ability to anticipate actual quarterly results. We do not currently see any clear evidence that our prospects are changing dramatically. We believe that as companies consider the economic uncertainty of the future, they may seek more efficiency in existing business assets and we believe that this scenario could favor our products and offerings.

We Will Make an Incremental Investment to Expand our Operations in India in 2008 and Create a Center of Excellence. We acquired our first off-shore facility in Hyderabad, India in the Manugistics acquisition. This

operation employed approximately 200 associates and was primarily focused on product development. Since the acquisition, we have taken time to more fully understand the risks and benefits of this business model before making any significant changes. In particular, we were initially concerned about associate attrition, which at the time of acquisition was running over 25%. Eighteen months later we have successfully delivered our first major product release through the Indian facility and have reduced associate attrition to approximately 13.5%. With this experience behind us, we are now prepared to implement changes that we believe will fundamentally improve our competitiveness and profitability. We will make a $7.8 million incremental investment to expand our operations in India in 2008 and create a comprehensive CoE that encompasses additional product development activities, customer implementation services, customer support services and internal administrative services. The investment is primarily related to the addition of approximately 230 new associates at our Hyderabad, Indian facility, approximately half of which we hope to hire during the first half of 2008. We believe the CoE will provide an improved business model for JDA and enhance our growth potential and operating results by:


	Ø	Accelerating the development of new solutions and innovations through expanded R&D bandwidth;

	Ø	Increasing the breadth and competitiveness of our consulting services through a blended delivery offering that combines high value on-shore consulting expertise and project management with lower cost off-shore resources;

	Ø	Enhancing our customer support service through faster resolution of complex customer issues;

	Ø	Accelerating the development of training content;

	Ø	Reducing the total cost of ownership of our solutions;

	Ø	Improving our competitiveness against companies that already operate low cost off-shore facilities;

	Ø	Accelerating the development of common business processes between major departments within JDA;

	Ø	Increasing our ability to take advantage of technology to optimize our internal operations; and

	Ø	Lowering our operating costs and improving our operating margins

We Expect our Total costs and Expenses to Increase in 2008. We expect our total costs and expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges, to increase between 2% and 5% in 2008 compared to 2007. This increase primarily includes incremental expense in our services and product development functions as associates are added in India during the transition to the CoE. We also plan modest increases in our overall investment in sales and marketing in 2008. We expect to incur restructuring charges of $1.0 million to $1.3 million for termination of redundant headcount in first half 2008.

We Will Continue to Actively Look for Strategic Acquisition Opportunities in 2008. We have substantially completed the integration of the sales, customer support, consulting services and administrative functions from the Manugistics acquisition and have made significant progress in our plans for the integration of our combined solution suite and operating platform. As a result, we believe we are now ready to undertake another acquisition and are actively looking for strategic acquisition opportunities in 2008.

Summary of 2007 Results. The Manugistics acquisition significantly impacts the comparability of our operating results for 2007 and 2006. The operating results for 2007 include the impact of Manugistics for the entire 12-month period. The operating results for 2006 only include the impact of Manugistics from date of acquisition, (i.e., July 5, 2006) through December 31, 2006. We believe the combination of the two companies created a unique competitive position for JDA that has enhanced our profile in the marketplace. We also believe no other software

company is currently able to offer a similar breadth and depth of vertically focused solutions to the supply and demand chain market. The acquisition has provided cross-selling opportunities for Manugistics’ advanced optimization solutions in our existing retail customer base and Manugistics’ supply chain and revenue management solutions have enabled us to significantly expand our presence with manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors.

Going forward we will no longer separately report the various components of revenue generated from the Manugistics product lines. We believe software license sales performance should be viewed on a combined basis when assessing the overall demand within our customer base, and viewed over a longer period of time in order to mitigate the significant variability that often occurs from quarter-to-quarter due to overlapping functionality of certain products, the size and timing of individual contracts and our ability to recognize revenue with respect to contracts signed in a given quarter.

The following tables summarize the changes in the various components of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 with and without Manugistics.

Software license sales and total revenues increased 50% and 35%, respectively in 2007 compared to 2006. Software license sales include organic growth of 28% in 2007 compared to 2006, including 30% from our core JDA products and 18% from the Manugistics product lines. Regional software license sales increased 44%, 54% and 73% in the Americas, European and Asia/Pacific regions, respectively in 2007 compared to 2006, and include annual increases in both core JDA and Manugistics product lines in each region.

We believe our competitive position remains strong and we continue to maintain consistent competitive win rates in our markets. Software sales to new customers increased $15.7 million or 151% in 2007 compared to 2006. In addition, software sales to new customers, as a percentage of total software sales, increased to 35% in 2007 from 21% in 2006. We continue to have strong back selling opportunities with the JDA and Manugistics install-base customers where sales increased 23% in 2007 compared to 2006. We signed ten larger software licenses (³$1.0 million) in 2007 compared to six in 2006 and we have multiple opportunities involving larger software licenses in our sales pipeline as we enter 2008. We believe the market views us differently since the Manugistics acquisition and recognizes that the combined company is a specialized, domain-focused company that has the financial strength, products and the ability to invest in such a way that enables us to be a long-term contender in the market and compete successfully against large horizontal enterprise application companies in head-to-head sales opportunities.

Software sales performance in the Americas region during 2007, and in particular the United States, continues to reflect the positive impact of the organizational changes that were made to the regional sales management team during the second half of 2006. These changes significantly increased our business development efforts and improved the sales force execution and sales performance in the region. We have a solid pipeline of sales opportunities in the Americas that includes both mid-size and larger software deals. The Americas is our largest region and, as a result, we believe the software sales performance in the region will continue to be a key driver of our overall success.

Software sales performance in the European region during 2007 continues to show steady improvement since the reorganization of the region in 2005. The sales organization has stabilized in the region and we believe the accuracy of the software forecast has significantly improved. The quality and number of opportunities in the sales pipeline continues to grow and includes larger software deals. We continue to experience large fluctuations in quarterly software sales performance in the Asia/Pacific region. We believe this is due primarily to organizational issues and high turnover in the regional sales force. We will continue to focus on improving our sales execution processes and the size and quality of our sales opportunity pipeline in the Asia/Pacific region in order to improve the predictability of software license deals in the region, although the timeframe for the implementation of these

processes remains uncertain. We also believe China and India are markets that will continue to provide meaningful opportunities for software companies in the future.

Maintenance services revenues increased 38% in 2007 compared to 2006 and represented 48% and 47% of total revenues, respectively in these periods. We believe our large annual recurring maintenance revenue base provides significant stability and enhances our ability to maintain profitable operations. Favorable foreign exchange rate variances provided a $5.1 million benefit to maintenance services revenues in 2007 compared to 2006. We added $11.3 million in new maintenance revenues in 2007 related to new software sales, rate increases on annual renewals, and reinstatements of previously cancelled maintenance agreements, offset in part by a decrease in recurring maintenance revenues due to attrition. Our average annualized attrition rate was 5.6% in 2007 compared to 5.2% in 2006. We expect maintenance revenues to be approximately $45.0 million in first quarter 2008.

Maintenance services gross profits were $133.0 million and $97.5 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, and represented 75% of maintenance service revenues in both periods. The increase in margin dollars is due to a $48.9 million in maintenance services revenues, offset in part by an increase in costs resulting from a 24% increase in average headcount, primarily due to the acquisition of Manugistics, annual salary increases and a $2.3 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance. We expect maintenance services margins to range between 74% and 76% in 2008. As of December 31, 2007, we had 265 employees in our customer support function compared to 246 at December 31, 2006.

Service revenues, which include consulting services, hosting services and training revenues, net revenues from our hardware reseller business and reimbursed expenses, increased $22.6 million or 23% to $121.8 million in 2007 compared to 2006. Service revenues continue to be impacted by product mix and low rate competition. The increase in service revenues includes a $33.0 million increase in revenues from new and assumed projects involving the Manugistics product lines, offset in part by a $10.5 million decrease in service revenues from projects involving core JDA products. We believe this decrease is due to delays in the start of certain projects and the lag effect of lower software licenses in the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions during early 2006. Our global utilization rate was 53% in 2007, compared to 50% in 2006 and our average blended global billing rates were $198, and $191, respectively in these periods. We expect a modest sequential improvement in service revenues in first quarter 2008 due to seasonally better utilization.

Services gross profits were $27.8 million and $24.3 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, and represented 23% of service revenues in 2007 compared to 24% in 2006. The increase in service margin dollars is due to a $22.6 million increase in services revenues, offset in part by an increase in costs resulting from a 16% increase in average headcount, primarily due to the acquisition of Manugistics, salary increases, a $3.1 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance, a $1.7 million increase in reimbursed expenses and a $1.0 million increase in travel costs. Service gross profits for 2007 also include a $2.0 million favorable impact from the release of $3.4 million of previously deferred consulting revenue upon completion and final acceptance of a fixed bid project inherited from Manugistics, net of $1.4 million in related deferred costs that were also released. Service margins will be impacted during 2008 by the temporary duplicate investment in consulting resources that will occur as we hire and train new associates in service-related functions at the CoE. We plan to aggressively hire associates for the CoE during the first and second quarters of 2008 and would expect the duplicate investment to decline later in the year. We currently anticipate that our service margins will remain in the low to mid 20% range throughout 2008 as we transition to the CoE. As of December 31, 2007, we had 429 employees in our services organization compared to 498 at December 31, 2006.

Sales and marketing expense increased $15.0 million or 31% to $63.2 million in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is due primarily to a 17% increase in average headcount, a $4.3 million increase in sales commissions due to the 50% increase in software license sales and a $1.8 million increase in stock-based compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance. As of December 31, 2007 we had 222 employees in the sales and marketing function, compared to 219 at December 31, 2006, including quota carrying sales associates and related sales management of 68 and 66, respectively. We plan for modest increases in our overall investment in sales and marketing in 2008.

Product development expense decreased $5.1 million or 9% to $51.2 million in 2007 compared to 2006. The decrease is due primarily to a 14% decrease in average headcount which resulted in a $4.5 million decrease in

salaries and related benefits. We reduced our product development workforce by 120 FTE in first quarter 2007 in connection with our decision to standardize future product offerings on the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform. Product development expense in 2007 was also reduced by the offset of $3.2 million in costs related to ongoing funded development efforts that were reimbursed by customers, offset in part by a $3.4 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance. Product development expense in 2006 included $871,000 in charges related to the settlement of certain customer-specific situations, including $488,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of the PRO application during fourth quarter 2006. Product development expense will be impacted during 2008 by the temporary duplicate investment in product development resources that will occur as we hire and train new associates in development-related functions at the CoE. We plan to aggressively hire associates for the CoE during the first and second quarters of 2008 and would expect the duplicate investment to decline later in the year. As of December 31, 2007, we had 462 employees in the product development function compared to 538 at December 31, 2006.

General and administrative expense increased $8.2 million or 24% to $41.5 million in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is due primarily to a 9% increase in average headcount, which resulted in a $3.2 million increase in salaries and related benefits, a $3.8 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance, including $2.2 million in stock-based compensation primarily related to the Manugistics Integration Incentive Plan, an $853,000 increase in outside contractor costs for assistance with internal system initiatives and an $832,000 increase in legal and accounting costs as result of the larger combined company and the compliance costs incurred to implement Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). As of December 31, 2007, we had 218 employees in general and administrative functions compared to 200 at December 31, 2006.

The provision for doubtful accounts increased $1.5 million to $2.9 million in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to certain foreign receivables for which collection is doubtful.

On August 18, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a special Manugistics Incentive Plan (“Integration Plan”). The Integration Plan provided for the issuance of contingently issuable restricted stock units under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and certain other members of our management team if we were able to successfully integrate the Manugistics acquisition and achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2007. The performance threshold goal was defined as $85.0 million of adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which excludes certain non-routine items. A partial pro-rata issuance of restricted stock units would be made if we achieved a minimum performance threshold. The Board subsequently approved additional contingently issuable restricted stock units under the Integration Plan for executive officers and new participants in 2007. The Company’s actual EBITDA performance for 2007 was approved by the Board in January 2008 and qualified participants for a pro-rata issuance equal to 99.25% of the contingently issuable restricted stock units. In total, 502,935 restricted stock units were issued on January 28, 2008 with a grant date fair value of $8.1 million. The restricted stock units vested 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over the subsequent 24-month period.

No share-based compensation expense was recognized in 2006 related to the Integration Plan as management determined it was not probable that the performance condition would be met. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal was evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2007 and stock-based compensation recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods that run from the date of the various board approvals through January 2010. A deferred compensation charge of $8.1 million was recorded in the equity section of our balance sheet during 2007, with a related increase to additional paid-in capital, for the total grant date fair value of the awards. We recognized $5.4 million in share-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock unit awards in 2007. This charge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income under the captions “Cost of maintenance services,” “Cost of consulting services,” “Product development,” “Sales and marketing,” and “General and administrative.”

$3.5 million of deferred compensation in stockholders’ equity. A summary of total share-based compensation by expense category for years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:


	2007		2006		2005

Cost of maintenance services	$	445	$	4	$	18
Cost of consulting services		678		15		46
Product development		483		7		26
Sales and marketing		1,848		51		81
General and administrative		2,737		583		228

Total stock-based compensation	$	6,191	$	660	$	399

On February 7, 2008, the Board approved an incentive plan for 2008 similar to the Integration Plan (“New Incentive Plan”). The New Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and other certain other members of our management team if we are able to achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2008. The performance threshold goal is defined as $95.0 million of adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which excludes certain non-routine items and share-based compensation. A partial pro-rata issuance of performance share awards will be made if we achieve a minimum performance threshold. The New Incentive Plan initially provides for up to 259,516 contingently issuable performance share awards with a fair value of approximately $4.5 million. The performance share awards, if any, will be issued after the approval of our 2008 financial results in January 2009 and will vest 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over a 24-month period. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal will be evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2008 and stock-based compensation recognized over the requisite service period that runs from February 7, 2008 (the date of board approval) through January 2011 pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 123(R). If we achieve the defined performance threshold goal we would expect to recognize approximately $3.0 million of the award as share-based compensation in 2008.

On February 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a 2008 cash incentive bonus plan (“Incentive Plan”) for our executive officers. The Incentive Plan provides for $2.9 million in targeted cash bonuses based upon defined annualized operational performance goals. A partial pro-rata cash bonus will be paid if we achieve a minimum annualized performance threshold. There is no cap on the maximum amount the executives can receive if the Company exceeds the defined annualized operational and software performance goals.

Our Financial Position is Solid and We Are Generating Positive Cash Flow From Operations. We had working capital of $67.9 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $41.1 million at December 31, 2006. The working capital balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006 include cash and cash equivalents of $95.3 million and $53.6 million, respectively. We generated $79.7 million in cash flow from operations in 2007 compared to $15.4 million in 2006. Net accounts receivable were $74.7 million or 68 days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at December 31, 2007 compared to $79.5 million or 81 DSO at December 31, 2006. During 2007 we also received $6.3 million in proceeds from the sale of an office facility in the United Kingdom, paid $7.6 million of direct costs related to the Manugistics acquisition, spent $7.4 million on capital expenditures and repaid $41.5 million of our long-term debt leaving a net debt position (i.e., cash and cash equivalents less long-term debt) of less than $4.3 million at December 31, 2007.

We expect cash flow from operations to be positive in 2008. We also believe our cash position is sufficient to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

The operating results for 2007 include the impact of Manugistics for the entire year. The operating results for 2006 only include the impact of Manugistics from the date of acquisition (i.e., July 5, 2006) through December 31, 2006. The impact of the Manugistics acquisition on our product and service revenues in 2007 compared to 2006 is summarized in Significant Trends and Developments in Our Business where we provide tables that summarize (i) the various components of revenue with and without Manugistics and, (ii) software license results by region with and without Manugistics.

Product Revenues

Software Licenses.

Retail. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 38% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 40% in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to software license sales to new customers. There were six

large transactions ³ $1.0 million in this reportable business segment in both 2007 and 2006. We closed 136 deals in this reportable business segment in 2007 compared to 96 in 2006.

Manufacturing & Distribution. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 46% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 10% in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to an increase in software license sales to new customers. There were three large transactions ³ $1.0 million in this reportable business segment in 2007 compared to none in 2006. We closed 151 deals in this reportable business segment in 2007 compared to 157 in 2006.

Services Industries. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment resulted entirely from sales to customers of the Revenue Management product lines acquired from Manugistics. There was one large transaction ³ $1.0 million in this reportable business segment in 2007 compared to none in 2006. We closed nine deals in this reportable business segment in 2007 compared to none in 2006.

Regional Results. Software license revenues in the Americas region increased 44% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in the Americas region increased 19% in 2007 compared to 2006 due primarily improved sales execution and an increase in software license sales to new customers. There were five large transactions ³ $1.0 million in the Americas region in 2007 compared to two large transactions ³ $1.0 million in 2006.

Software license revenues in the Europe region increased 54% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in the Europe region increased 59% in 2007 compared to 2006 due to improved sales execution and an increase in software license sales to new customers. There were three large transactions ³ $1.0 million in the Europe region in 2007 compared to two large transactions ³ $1.0 million in 2006.

Software license revenues in the Asia/Pacific region increased 73% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in the Asia/Pacific region increased 27% in 2007 compared to 2006. There were two large transactions ³ $1.0 million in the Asia/Pacific region in 2007 compared to two large transactions ³ $1.0 million in 2006.

Maintenance Services. Maintenance services revenues increased 38% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, maintenance services revenues increased 8% in 2007 compared to 2006. Maintenance services revenues in 2007 include a $5.1 million favorable foreign exchange rate variance compared to 2006. Excluding the impact of the favorable foreign exchange rate variance, maintenance services revenues increased 34% in 2007 compared to 2006.

Service Revenues

Service revenues increased 23% in 2007 compared to 2006. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, services revenues decreased 14% in 2007 compared to 2006 due to a $10.5 million decrease in service revenues from projects involving core JDA products. We believe this decrease is due to delays in the start of certain projects and the lag effect of lower software sales in the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions during early 2006.

Fixed bid consulting services work represented 20% of total consulting services revenue in 2007 compared to 14% in 2006.

Cost of Product Revenues

Cost of Software Licenses. The increase in cost of software licenses in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted primarily from a $475,000 increase in third party royalties due on software sales involving Manugistics product lines.

Amortization of Acquired Software Technology. The increase in amortization of acquired software technology in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted from amortization of software technology acquired in the Manugistics acquisition, offset in part by a decrease in amortization on software technology related to the Intactix suite of products that has now been fully amortized.

Cost of Maintenance Services. The increase in cost of maintenance services in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted from a 24% increase in average headcount, primarily due to the acquisition of Manugistics, annual salary increases, a $2.3 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a $2.1 million increase in fees and royalties paid to third parties who provide first level support to certain of our customers.

Cost of Service Revenues

The increase in cost of service revenues in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted from a 16% increase in average headcount, primarily due to the acquisition of Manugistics, salary increases, a $3.1 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance, a $1.7 million decrease in deferred consulting costs due primarily to the completion of certain fixed bid consulting projects in the United States involving Manugistics products for which the related consulting revenue was also deferred, a $1.7 million increase in reimbursed expenses and a $1.0 million increase in travel costs.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit dollars in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted primarily from the $87.3 million increase in revenue contribution from Manugistics and the 30% increase in software sales of core JDA products, offset in part by the $10.5 million decrease in service revenues from projects involving core JDA products, the increases in average headcount in our customer support and consulting services organizations to support the larger revenue streams and customer directed development activities, the $5.4 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance and the $1.0 million increase in travel costs. Gross profit dollars for 2007 also include a $2.0 million favorable impact from the release of $3.4 million of previously deferred consulting revenue upon completion and final acceptance of a fixed bid project inherited from Manugistics, net of $1.4 million in related deferred costs that were also released. The gross margin percentage increased to 60% in 2007 compared to 59% in 2006 due to the higher mix of product revenues.

Services gross profit dollars increased $3.5 million in 2007 compared to 2006, however, service margins as a percentage of service revenues decreased to 23% in 2007 compared to 24% in 2006. The increase in service margin dollars is due primarily to the $33.0 million increase in services revenue contribution from Manugistics, offset in part by the 14% decrease in service revenues from projects involving core JDA products. Service margins as a percentage of service revenues decreased in 2007 primarily due to the higher average headcount, annual salary increases and higher incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance. Services gross profits for 2007 also include a $2.0 million favorable impact from the release of $3.4 million of previously deferred consulting revenue upon completion and final acceptance of a fixed bid project inherited from Manugistics, net of $1.4 million in related deferred costs that were also released.

Operating Expenses

Product Development. The decrease in product development expense in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to a 14% decrease in average headcount, which resulted in a $4.5 million decrease in salaries and related benefits, and the offset of $3.2 million in costs related to ongoing funded development efforts that were reimbursed by customers, offset in part by a $3.4 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance. Product development expense in 2006 included $871,000 in charges related to the settlement of certain customer-specific situations, including $488,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of the PRO application during fourth quarter 2006.

Sales and Marketing. The increase in sales and marketing expense in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to a 17% increase in average headcount, a $4.3 million increase in sales commissions due to the 50% increase in software license sales and a $1.8 million increase in stock-based compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance.

General and Administrative. The increase in general and administrative expense in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to a 9% increase in average headcount, which resulted in a $3.2 million increase in salaries and related benefits, a $3.8 million increase in incentive compensation due to the Company’s improved operating performance,

including $2.2 million in stock-based compensation primarily related to the Manugistics Integration Incentive Plan, an $853,000 increase in outside contractor costs for assistance with internal system initiatives and an $832,000 increase in legal and accounting costs as result of the larger combined company and compliance costs incurred to implement FIN 48.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily for certain foreign receivables for which collection is doubtful.

Amortization of Intangibles. The increase in amortization of intangibles in 2007 compared to 2006 results primarily from amortization of the customer list and trademark intangibles recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics.

Restructuring Charges. We recorded restructuring charges of $6.2 million in 2007 that included $5.9 million for termination benefits and $292,000 for office closures. The termination benefits are primarily related to a workforce reduction of approximately 120 full-time employees (“FTE”) in our Scottsdale, Arizona product development group as a direct result of our decision to standardize future product offerings on the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform and a reduction of approximately 40 FTE in our worldwide consulting services group. The office closure charge is for the closure and integration costs of redundant office facilities.

Gain on Sale of Office Facility. During 2007 we sold a 15,000 square foot facility in the United Kingdom for approximately $6.3 million and recognized a gain of $4.1 million.

Operating Income

We had operating income of $48.8 million in 2007 compared to operating income of $7.3 million in 2006. The improvement in operating income resulted primarily from a $96.1 million or 35% increase in total revenues, which includes an $87.3 million increased revenue contribution from Manugistics, offset in part by an increase in average headcount, increases in incentive compensation and commissions due to the Company’s improved operating performance, a $7.4 million increase in amortization on intangibles recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics and a $1.5 million higher provision for doubtful accounts. In addition, we recorded a $4.1 million gain on the sale of an office facility in 2007.

Operating income in our Retail reportable business segment increased to $48.6 million in 2007 compared to $27.4 million in 2006. The increase in operating income in this reportable business segment resulted primarily from a $25.2 million increase in product revenues and a 30% decrease in product development costs, offset in part by a 24% increase in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this reportable business segment.

Operating income in our Manufacturing and Distribution reportable business segment increased to $62.2 million in 2007 compared to $31.9 million in 2006. The increase resulted primarily from increases in product and service revenues of $41.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, primarily from the Manugistics product lines, offset in part by a $24.9 million increase in maintenance and service revenue costs due to the Manugistics acquisition, a 23% increase in product development costs and a 29% increase in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this reportable business segment.

The Services Industries reportable business segment had operating income of $364,000 in 2007 compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in 2006. The improvement resulted primarily from increases in product and service revenues of $6.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively offset in part by a $4.2 million increase in total costs of revenue, and a $4.9 million increase in operating costs for product development and sales and marketing activities.

The combined operating income reported in the reportable business segments excludes $62.3 million and $50.6 million of general and administrative expenses and other charges in 2007 and 2006, respectively, that are not

directly identified with a particular reportable business segment and which management does not consider in evaluating the operating income (loss) of the reportable business segments.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense and Amortization of Loan Fees. We incurred interest expense of $10.0 million and recorded $1.8 million in amortization of loan origination fees in 2007 compared to $6.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively in 2006. The interest expense and loan origination fees relate primarily to $175 million in aggregate term loan borrowings on July 5, 2006 that were used to finance the acquisition of Manugistics and the repayment of their debt obligations. We repaid $40.0 million and $35.4 million of the term loan borrowings in 2007 and 2006, respectively leaving an outstanding balance of $99.6 million at December 31, 2007.

Interest Income and Other, Net. We recorded interest income and other, net of $3.5 million in 2007 compared to $3.9 million in 2006. During second quarter 2006, we liquidated substantially all of our investments in marketable securities in order to generate cash to complete the acquisition of Manugistics. Subsequent to this liquidation, our remaining excess cash balances have been invested primarily in money market accounts.

Change in Fair Value of Series B Preferred Stock Conversion Feature

We recorded non-cash charges of $3.1 million in 2006 to reflect the change in the fair value of the conversion feature in the $50 million of Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Manugistics. The primary factor causing the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was the increase in our stock price from the close of acquisition on July 5, 2006 to October 20, 2006. The conversion feature as originally drafted was considered an embedded derivative under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”) and accordingly has been accounted for separately from the Series B Preferred Stock. On the date of issuance, we recorded a $10.9 million liability for the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and reduced the face value of the Series B Preferred Stock to $39.1 million. The language in the agreement describing the conversion feature did not reflect the original intent of the parties, and as a result, we filed a Certificate of Correction with the State of Delaware on October 20, 2006 to correct the definition of the cash redemption price in the original Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock. After this change, the conversion feature no longer met the bifurcation criteria in SFAS No. 133. See the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for a complete description of this transaction.

Income Tax Provision

A summary of the income tax provision recorded in 2007 and 2006 is as follows:


	2007			2006

Income before income tax provision	$	40,417		$	421
Effective tax rate		34.8	%		213.8	%
Income tax provision at effective tax rate		(14,062	)		(900	)
Less discrete tax item benefits:
Changes in estimate		556			33
Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions		(389	)		—

Total discrete tax item benefits		167			33

Income provision	$	(13,895	)	$	(867	)

The income tax provision in 2007 and 2006 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits, but does not include the tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during these years of $1.3 million and $330,000, respectively. These tax benefits reduced our income tax liabilities and are included as an increase to additional paid-in-capital to the extent they exceed the book compensation of the award. The effective tax rate in 2007 is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of foreign tax rate differentials. The effective tax rate in 2006 is higher than the federal

statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the non-deductibility of the expense for the change in fair value of the conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

The operating results for 2006 include the impact of Manugistics from the date of acquisition (i.e., July 5, 2006) through December 31, 2006. The impact of the Manugistics acquisition on our product and service revenues in 2006 compared to 2005 is summarized in Significant Trends and Developments in Our Business where we provide tables that summarize (i) the various components of revenue with and without Manugistics and, (ii) software license results by region with and without Manugistics.

Product Revenues

Software Licenses.

Retail. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment, which include $4.2 million in software license revenues from the Manugistics product lines, decreased 38% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in this reportable business segment decreased 44% in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to a decrease in the number of large transactions of ³ $1.0 million and a 44% decrease in the average selling price on such transactions. We had six large transactions of ³ $1.0 million in 2006, including one involving Manugistics product lines, compared to nine large transactions of ³ $1.0 million in 2005 which included one unusually large multi-million dollar transaction with multiple applications. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment were also impacted in 2006 by a decrease in software license transactions of <$1.0 million with new customers and a decrease in follow-on sales to existing customers in the Americas and Europe regions of approximately $4.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively compared to 2005.

Manufacturing & Distribution. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment, which include $5.4 million in software license revenues from the Manugistics product lines, increased 51% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 8% in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to an increase in follow-on sales to existing customers that expanded the scope of existing licenses.

Services Industries. The increase in software license revenues in this reportable business segment in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted entirely from sales to customers of the Revenue Management business acquired from Manugistics. The majority of the software revenue in this reportable business segment is subject to contract accounting and the benefit of revenue deferred prior to the Manugistics acquisition was not brought forward in purchase accounting as there were no additional delivery obligations.

Regional Results. Software license revenues in the Americas region, which include $4.9 million in software license revenues from the Manugistics product lines, decreased 28% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in the Americas region decreased 40% in 2006 compared to 2005 which is primarily due to a lack of sales management, business development and sales force execution. In addition, software license revenues in 2005 included one unusually large multi-million dollar transaction that included multiple applications. Software license revenues in the Europe region, which include $4.3 million in software license revenues from the Manugistics product lines, increased 18% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in the Europe region decreased 18% primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in follow-on sales to existing customers that expand the scope of existing licenses. The Europe region recorded two large transactions ³ $1.0 million in 2006, one of which involved the Manugistics product lines, compared to one large transaction ³ $1.0 million in 2005. Software license revenues in the Asia/Pacific region, which include $608,000 in software license revenues from the Manugistics product lines, decreased 9% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, software license revenues in the Asia/Pacific region decreased 19% primarily due to a 35% decrease in average sales price on new software license deals >$1.0 million in 2006 compared to 2005. We recorded two large transactions of ³ $1.0 million in the Asia/Pacific region in 2006 compared to two large transaction of ³ $1.0 million in 2005.

Maintenance Services. Maintenance services revenues, which include $21.0 million from the acquired Manugistics product lines, increased 50% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, maintenance services revenues increased 1% in 2006 compared to 2005. Despite historically strong retention rates of approximately 95%, growth in new maintenance services revenues on our core JDA applications was hindered by lower software sales and the suspension of revenue recognition of more than $1.0 million in maintenance revenues related to certain customer-specific support issues, including the discontinuance of the PRO application.

Service Revenues

Service revenues, which include $24.6 million from the Manugistics product lines, increased 40% in 2006 compared to 2005. Before considering the impact of Manugistics, services revenues increased 5% in 2006 compared to 2005 due primarily to ongoing projects in the Americas including a large multi-product implementation in the United States that was completed in 2006, offset in part by flat to lower utilization rates and consulting services revenue in the Europe and Asia/Pacific regions. Service revenues were also impacted by a $1.2 million or 36% decrease in hosting revenues in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to the loss of a large customer as a result of their merger. Net revenues from our hardware reseller business decreased 56% to $533,000 in 2006 compared to $1.2 million in 2005.

Fixed bid consulting services work represented 14% of total consulting services revenue in 2006 and 2005.

Cost of Product Revenues

Cost of Software Licenses. The increase in cost of software licenses in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted primarily from sales of certain of our applications that incorporate functionality from third party software providers and require the payment of royalties, including $730,000 related to the Manugistics product lines, offset in part by a $350,000 decrease in costs associated with certain third party software database applications that we resell.

Amortization of Acquired Software Technology. The increase in amortization of acquired software technology in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted primarily from amortization of the software technology acquired in the Manugistics acquisition.

Cost of Maintenance Services. The increase in cost of maintenance services in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted from a 28% increase in average headcount, due to the acquisition of Manugistics and the transfer of certain product development resources to our customer support organization, a $2.6 million increase in third party maintenance royalties primarily related to the Manugistics revenue streams, $487,000 in charges associated with the resolution of certain customer-specific support issues and a $368,000 increase in outside contractor costs.

Cost of Service Revenues

The increase in cost of service revenues in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted from a 27% increase in average services headcount, primarily from the acquisition of Manugistics during the second half, as well as a $5.7 million increase in outside contractor costs for ongoing consulting projects in the United States and a $3.2 million increase in reimbursed expenses, offset in part by the deferral of $1.0 million in consulting costs on a large Manugistics implementation project in the United States for which revenue recognition was deferred, and a $586,000 decrease in training costs.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit dollars in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted primarily from the $76.3 million revenue contribution from Manugistics and higher service revenue margins offset in part by related increases in average headcount in our customer support and consulting services organizations to support the larger revenue streams. The gross margin percentage decreased to 58% in 2006 compared to 60% in 2005. This decrease resulted from the lower mix of software license revenues.

The increase in service revenue margins in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted primarily from the 40% increase in service revenues, the deferral of $1.0 million in consulting costs on a large Manugistics implementation project in the United States for which revenue recognition was deferred, and a $586,000 decrease in training costs, offset in

part by a 27% increase in average services headcount primarily from the acquisition of Manugistics and a $5.7 million increase in outside contractor costs for ongoing consulting projects in the United States.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges, increased $27.4 million, or 25% in 2006 compared to 2005, and represented 50% and 52% of total revenues in each period, respectively. The increase in operating expenses resulted primarily from an increase in average headcount from the acquisition of Manugistics, an increase in costs related to the use of outside contractors to assist in development activities, higher travel, training, legal and accounting costs related to the integration of Manugistics and a decrease in capitalized costs related to the development of internal systems, offset in part by lower incentive compensation.

Product Development. The increase in product development expense in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted from a 36% increase in average product development headcount, primarily from the acquisition of Manugistics, which resulted in higher salaries, benefits, travel, training and occupancy costs, a $793,000 increase in outside contractor costs to assist in the development of our solutions, offset in part by the transfer of certain product development resources to the customer support organization, a $513,000 decrease in incentive compensation as a result of lower software license revenues and a $499,000 decrease in vendor cost reimbursements on joint development projects. Product development expense included $871,000 and $600,000 in charges related to the settlement of certain customer-specific situations in 2006 and 2005, respectively including $488,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of PRO during fourth quarter 2006.

Sales and Marketing. The increase in sales and marketing expense in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted from a 41% increase in average headcount, primarily from the acquisition of Manugistics, which resulted in higher salaries, benefits, travel and marketing costs, offset in part by a $1.9 million decrease in incentive compensation due to lower software license revenues and a $400,000 decrease in utilization of consulting services employees to assist in presales activities.

General and Administrative. The increase in general and administrative expense in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted from a 23% increase in average headcount, primarily from the acquisition of Manugistics, which resulted in higher salaries, benefits, travel and training costs. We also had a $926,000 increase in legal and accounting costs as a result of the larger combined company, a $670,000 decrease in capitalized costs associated with major system initiatives, and a $376,000 increase in stock-based compensation for new hires in the management team.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts in 2006 includes $1.0 million related to the discontinuance of PRO.

Amortization of Intangibles. The increase in amortization of intangibles in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted primarily from $5.5 million in amortization on the customer list intangibles recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics.

Restructuring Charges. We recorded restructuring charges of $6.2 million in 2006 that included $4.8 million for termination benefits and relocation bonuses and $1.4 million for office closures. The restructuring charges were primarily related to the consolidation of two existing JDA offices in the United Kingdom into the Manugistics office facility in the United Kingdom and the elimination of certain accounting and administrative positions in Europe and Canada.

We recorded restructuring charges of $2.4 million in 2005 to complete the restructuring initiatives contemplated in our 2005 Operating Plan. The restructuring charges in 2005 included $2.0 million in termination benefits for 44 FTE and $423,000 for net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities.

Loss on Impairment of Trademarks. The Company announced in fourth quarter 2006 that it would continue to support the E3 product suite through the end of 2012. With this announcement, the E3 trademarks were tested for impairment and we recorded an impairment loss of $200,000 in fourth quarter 2006. We also recorded an impairment loss of $200,000 during fourth quarter 2005 on the E3 trademarks primarily due to a lower software revenue forecast and a flattening of the projected revenue growth curve.

Operating Income

Operating income increased to $7.3 million in 2006 compared to $1.9 million in 2005. A 29% increase in total revenues, resulting primarily from the $76.3 million revenue contribution from Manugistics and a $9.7 million decrease in impairment charges, were offset in part by the costs and expenses related to a 31% increase in average headcount including 677 employees added through the acquisition of Manugistics, the $6.4 million increase in amortization of intangibles and a $3.8 million increase in restructuring charges.

Operating income in our Retail reportable business segment increased to $27.4 million in 2006 compared to $25.4 million in 2005. The increase in operating income in this reportable business segment resulted primarily from a $15.6 million increase in service revenues, a $9.7 million decrease in impairment charges and a 5% decrease in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this reportable business segment, offset in part by a $10.4 million decrease in product revenues, an $8.7 million increase in maintenance and service revenue costs and an 18% increase in product development costs.

Operating income in our Manufacturing and Distribution reportable business segment increased to $31.9 million in 2006 compared to $9.6 million in 2005. The increase resulted primarily from increases in product and service revenues of $41.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, offset in part by a $13.7 million increase in maintenance and service revenue costs due to the Manugistics acquisition, a 93% increase in allocated sales and marketing costs based upon the pro rata share of software sales that came from this reportable business segment, and a 42% increase in product development costs.

All customers in the Services Industries reportable business segment are new to JDA and represent the former Revenue Management business acquired from Manugistics. This reportable business segment incurred an initial loss of $1.5 million in 2006 on total revenues of $5.6 million, total costs of revenue of $5.1 million, and $2.0 million in operating costs for product development and sales and marketing activities.

The combined operating income reported in the reportable business segments excludes $50.6 million and $33.1 million of general and administrative expenses and other charges in 2006 and 2005, respectively, that are not directly identified with a particular reportable business segment and which management does not consider in evaluating the operating income (loss) of the reportable business segments.

Other Income (Expense)

During 2006 we incurred interest expense of $6.5 million on aggregate term loan obligations and $1.1 million in amortization of loan origination fees. To finance the acquisition of Manugistics and the repayment of their debt obligations, we entered into a credit agreement with a consortium of lenders that provided for $175 million in aggregate term loans with interest payable quarterly at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) + 2.25%. Prior to this transaction, we had no long-term debt obligations.

We recorded interest income and other, net of $3.9 million in 2006 compared to $2.8 million in 2005. During 2005 and the first half of 2006, we invested our excess cash balances in a variety of financial instruments including bank time deposits and variable and fixed rate obligations of the U.S. Government and it agencies, states, municipalities, commercial paper and corporate bonds with interest rates generally ranging between 2% and 5%. We liquidated substantially all of our investments through sales or maturities in second quarter 2006 to generate cash to complete the acquisition of Manugistics on July 5, 2006. During the second half of 2006 our excess cash balances were primarily invested in money market accounts.

Change in Fair Value of Series B Preferred Stock Conversion Feature

liability for the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and reduced the face value of the Series B Preferred Stock to $39.1 million. The language in the agreement describing the conversion feature did not reflect the original intent of the parties, and as a result, we filed a Certificate of Correction with the State of Delaware on October 20, 2006 to correct the definition of the cash redemption price in the original Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock. After this change, the conversion feature no longer met the bifurcation criteria in SFAS No. 133. See the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for a complete description of this transaction.

Income Tax Provision

A summary of the income tax (provision) benefit recorded in 2006 and 2005 is as follows:


	2006			2005

Income before income tax provision	$	421		$	4,502
Effective tax rate		213.8	%		30.8	%
Income tax provision at effective tax rate		(900	)		(1,385	)
Less discrete tax item benefits:
Changes in estimate		33			3,524
Change in foreign statutory tax rates		—			319

Total discrete tax item benefits		33			3,843

Income tax (provision) benefit	$	(867	)	$	2,458

The income tax (provision) benefit for 2006 and 2005 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits, but does not include the tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during these years of $330,000 and $807,000, respectively. These tax benefits reduced our income tax liabilities and are included as an increase to additional paid-in-capital to the extent they exceed the book compensation expense of the award. The effective tax rate is higher in 2006 as compared to 2005 due to the non-deductibility of the expense for the change in fair value of the conversion feature of the redeemable Series B Preferred Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had working capital of $67.9 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $41.1 million at December 31, 2006. The working capital balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006 include cash and cash equivalents of $95.3 million and $53.6 million, respectively. The increase in working capital resulted from $79.7 million in cash flow from operating activities, $9.9 million from the issuance of common stock and $6.9 million in proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment, offset in part by the repayment of $41.5 million of long-term debt, the payment of $7.6 million of direct costs related to the Manugistics acquisition and $7.4 million of capital expenditures.

Net accounts receivable were $74.7 million or 68 days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at December 31, 2007 compared to $79.5 million or 81 DSO at December 31, 2006. The improvement in DSO is due primarily to improved collection efforts and the higher level of revenues recorded by the Company in 2007 compared to 2006. Our DSO results may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to a number of factors including the percentage of total revenues that comes from software license sales which typically have installment payment terms, seasonality, shifts in customer buying patterns or industry mix of our customers, the timing of annual maintenance renewals, lengthened contractual payment terms in response to competitive pressures, the underlying mix of products and services, and the geographic concentration of revenues.

Operating activities provided cash of $79.7 million in 2007 compared to $15.4 million in 2006. The principle sources of our cash flow from operations are typically net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization and bad debt provisions, collections on accounts receivable and increases in deferred maintenance revenue. The increase in cash flow from operations in 2007 compared to 2006 results primarily from a $27.0 million increase in net income, a $14.2 million larger net decrease in accounts receivable due to improved collection efforts, a

$10.9 million decrease in deferred income taxes due primarily to the utilization of net operating losses, a $7.4 million increase in amortization on intangible balances recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics, a $5.5 million increase in stock-based compensation, primarily related to the Manugistics Integration Incentive Plan, and a $4.2 million larger increase in deferred revenue balances due to the timing of the annual renewal period for maintenance contracts assumed in the acquisition of Manugistics, offset in part by a $4.1 million gain on the sale of an office facility in the United Kingdom.

Investing activities utilized cash of $8.2 million in 2007 and $45.8 million in 2006. Net cash used in investing activities in 2007 includes $7.6 million in payment of direct costs related to the Manugistics acquisition and $7.4 million in capital expenditures, offset in part by $6.9 million in proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment, including $6.3 million from the sale of the office facility in the United Kingdom. Net cash utilized by investing activities in 2006 includes $72.9 million in net cash expended to acquire Manugistics, $8.0 million in capital expenditures and $6.7 million in payment of direct costs related to the Manugistics acquisition, offset in part by $40.4 million in net proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities to generate cash to complete the acquisition of Manugistics and the final $1.2 million payment on the promissory note receivable from Silvon Software, Inc.

Financing activities utilized cash of $30.6 million in 2007 and provided cash of $11.4 million in 2006. Financing activities in 2007 include the repayment of $41.5 million of long term debt. Financing activities in 2006 include proceeds of $168.4 million from term loan borrowings, net of nearly $6.6 million of loan origination and other administrative fees, and the issuance of $50 million in Series B Preferred Stock to Thoma Cressey Bravo in connection with the acquisition of Manugistics. We used the proceeds from the term loan borrowings and the Thoma Cressey Bravo equity investment, together with the companies’ combined cash balances at closing, to fund the cash obligations of the acquisition and to retire approximately $174 million of Manugistics’ existing debt and capital lease obligations. In additional, we repaid $35 million of the term loans in the second half of 2006. The term loan borrowings contain certain financial and other covenants. We were in compliance with the financial and other covenants at December 31, 2007. The activity in both periods includes proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Changes in the currency exchange rates of our foreign operations had the effect of increasing cash by $770,000 in 2007 and $1.6 million in 2006 due to the continuing weakness of the US Dollar against major foreign currencies including the British Pound Sterling, the Euro and the Japanese Yen. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the short-term foreign currency exchange exposure associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. We do not hedge the potential impact of foreign currency exposure on our ongoing revenues and expenses from foreign operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income, net, offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Treasury Stock Repurchases. In July 2007, the term loan credit agreement (see Contractual Obligations) was amended to allow us to make open market cash purchases of our common stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. There were no open market cash purchases of our common stock during 2007.

In January 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to one million shares of our outstanding common stock on the open market or in private transactions at prevailing market prices during a one-year period ending January 26, 2006. The program was adopted as part of our revised approach to equity compensation, which emphasizes performance-based awards to employees and open market stock repurchases by the Company designed to mitigate or eliminate dilution from future employee and director equity-based incentives. We repurchased a total of 747,500 shares of our common stock for $8.7 million under this program, all of which were made during 2005.

During 2007 and 2006, we repurchased 12,411 and 14,656 shares, respectively tendered by employees for the payment of applicable statutory withholding taxes on the issuance of restricted shares under the 2005 Performance Incentive Plan. The shares were repurchased in 2007 for $244,000 at prices ranging from $14.52 to $24.96 per share. The shares were repurchased in 2006 for $189,000 at prices ranging from $11.19 to $17.00 per share.

Accelerated Vesting of Options. On February 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the immediate vesting of all unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors. The accelerated options were issued under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Director Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan. The closing market price per share of our common stock on February 15, 2005 was $11.85 and the exercise prices of the approximately 1.4 million in unvested options on that date ranged from $8.50 to $28.20. The exercise of vested stock options increases our working capital.

Contractual Obligations. The following summarizes scheduled principal maturities and interest on long-term debt and our operating lease obligations as of December 31, 2007.


	Payments Due By Period (In thousands)
Contractual Obligations	Total			< 1 year			1 to 3 years			3 to 5 years			> 5 years

Scheduled principal maturities and interest on long-term debt	$	139,900		$	14,684		$	18,367		$	17,846		$	89,003
Operating lease obligations	$	70,360		$	14,202		$	24,718		$	19,171		$	12,269
Contracted sublease rentals	$	(13,913	)	$	(3,448	)	$	(6,035	)	$	(4,430	)	$	(0	)

Long-term debt includes $99.6 million in borrowings under term loan agreements which are due in quarterly installments of $437,500 through July 5, 2013, with the remaining balance due at maturity. In addition to the scheduled maturities, the term loan agreements also require additional mandatory repayments on the term loans based on a percentage of our annual excess cash flow, as defined, beginning with the fiscal year that commenced January 1, 2007. Pursuant to this provision, we are required to remit an additional mandatory payment of approximately $5.3 million on the term loan by March 30, 2008. The scheduled principal maturities in the table above only include this initial mandatory repayment based on our annual excess cash flow, as defined. Interest is payable quarterly on the term loans at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) + 2.25%. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 28, 2006 to fix LIBOR at 5.365% on $140 million, or 80% of the aggregate term loans. We have structured the interest rate swap with decreasing notional amounts to match the expected pay down of the debt. The notional value of the interest rate swap was $85.5 million at December 31, 2007 and represented approximately 86% of the aggregate term loan balance. The interest rate swap agreement is effective through October 5, 2009 and has been designated a cash flow hedge derivative.

Operating lease obligations represent future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with minimum or remaining lease terms at December 31, 2007. We lease office space in the Americas for 13 regional sales and support offices across the United States, Canada and Latin America, and for 14 other international sales and support offices located in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and Japan. The leases are primarily non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms ranging from one to 20 years that expire at various dates through the year 2018. None of the leases contain contingent rental payments; however, certain of the leases contain scheduled rent increases and renewal options. We expect that in the normal course of business most of these leases will be renewed or that suitable additional or alternative space will be available on commercially reasonable terms as needed. In addition, we lease various computers, telephone systems, automobiles, and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms ranging from 12 to 48 months. Certain of the equipment leases contain renewal options and we expect that in the normal course of business some or all of these leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

The contractual obligations shown above exclude $5.4 million in non-current liabilities for uncertain tax positions as we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents and net cash provided from operations will provide adequate liquidity to meet our normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future. A major component of our positive cash flow is the collection of accounts receivable and the generation of cash earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. The preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


	•	Revenue recognition. Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component of our results of operations. In addition, our revenue recognition determines the timing of certain expenses such as commissions and royalties. We follow specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy.

We license software primarily under non-cancelable agreements and provide related services, including consulting, training and customer support. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), Software Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts (“ARB No. 45”), Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, that provides further interpretive guidance for public companies on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.

Software license revenue is generally recognized using the residual method when:

Ø Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and a license agreement has been signed;

Ø Delivery, which is typically FOB shipping point, is complete;

Ø Fees are fixed and determinable and there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance;

Ø Collection is considered probable; and

Ø Vendor-specific evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements.

Our customer arrangements typically contain multiple elements that include software, options for future purchases of software products not previously licensed to the customer, maintenance, consulting and training services. The fees from these arrangements are allocated to the various elements based on VSOE. Under the residual method, if an arrangement contains an undelivered element, the VSOE of the undelivered element is deferred and the revenue recognized once the element is delivered. If we are unable to determine VSOE for any undelivered element included in an arrangement, we will defer revenue recognition until all elements have been delivered. In addition, if a software license contains milestones, customer acceptance criteria or a cancellation right, the software revenue is recognized upon the achievement of the milestone or upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period or cancellation right. For arrangements that provide for significant services or custom development that are essential to the software’s functionality, the software license revenue and contracted services are recognized under the percentage of completion method as prescribed in the provisions of ARB No. 45 and SOP 81-1.

we make them generally available. Maintenance services are generally billed on a monthly basis and recorded as revenue in the applicable month, or billed on an annual basis with the revenue initially deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. VSOE for maintenance services is the price customers will be required to pay when it is sold separately, which is typically the renewal rate.

Consulting and training services are separately priced and stated in our arrangements, are generally available from a number of suppliers, and are generally not essential to the functionality of our software products. Consulting services include project management, system planning, design and implementation, customer configurations, and training. These services are generally billed bi-weekly on an hourly basis or pursuant to the terms of a fixed price contract. Consulting services revenue billed on an hourly basis is recognized as the work is performed. Under fixed price service contracts and milestone-based arrangements that include services that are not essential to the functionality of our software products, consulting services revenue is recognized using the proportional performance method. We measure progress-to-completion under the proportional performance method by using input measures, primarily labor hours, which relate hours incurred to date to total estimated hours at completion. We continually update and revise our estimates of input measures. If our estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the entire loss is recognized in that period. Training revenues are included in consulting revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and are recognized once the training services are provided. VSOE for consulting and training services is based upon the hourly or per class rates charged when those services are sold separately. We offer hosting services on certain of our software products under arrangements in which the end users do not take possession of the software. Revenues from hosting services are included in consulting revenues, billed monthly and recognized as the services are provided. Revenues from our hardware reseller business are also included in consulting revenues, reported net (i.e., the amount billed to a customer less the amount paid to the supplier) pursuant to EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, and recognized upon shipment of the hardware.

Customers are reviewed for creditworthiness before we enter into a new arrangement that provides for software and/or a service element. We do not sell or ship our software, nor recognize any license revenue unless we believe that collection is probable. Payments for our software licenses are typically due within twelve months from the date of delivery. Although infrequent, where software license agreements call for payment terms of twelve months or more from the date of delivery, revenue is recognized as payments become due and all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied.


	•	Accounts Receivable. Consistent with industry practice and to be competitive in the retail software marketplace, we typically provide payment terms on most software license sales. Software licenses are generally due within twelve months from the date of delivery. Customers are reviewed for creditworthiness before we enter into a new arrangement that provides for software and/or a service element. We do not sell or ship our software, nor recognize any revenue unless we believe that collection is probable in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 8 in Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. For those customers who are not credit worthy, we require prepayment of the software license fee or a letter of credit before we will ship our software. We have a history of collecting software payments when they come due without providing refunds or concessions. Consulting services are generally billed bi-weekly and maintenance services are billed annually or monthly. For those customers who are significantly delinquent or whose credit deteriorates, we typically put the account on hold and do not recognize any further services revenue, and may as appropriate withdraw support and/or our implementation staff until the situation has been resolved.

We do not have significant billing or collection problems. We review each past due account and provide specific reserves based upon the information we gather from various sources including our customers, subsequent cash receipts, consulting services project teams, members of each region’s management, and credit rating services such as Dun and Bradstreet. Although infrequent and unpredictable, from time to time certain of our customers have filed bankruptcy, and we have been required to refund the pre-petition amounts collected and settle for less than the face value of their remaining receivable pursuant to a bankruptcy court order. In these situations, as soon as it becomes probable that the net realizable value of the receivable is impaired, we provide reserves on the receivable. In addition, we monitor economic conditions

in the various geographic regions in which we operate to determine if general reserves or adjustments to our credit policy in a region are appropriate for deteriorating conditions that may impact the net realizable value of our receivables.


	•	Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Our business combinations typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and potential impairment charges we may incur. The determination of the value of such intangible assets and the annual impairment tests required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), requires management to make estimates of future revenues, customer retention rates and other assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired, using a two-step process that compares a weighted average of the fair value of future cash flows under the “Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach” and the “Guideline Company Method” to the carrying value of goodwill allocated to our reporting units. No indications of impairment were identified in 2006 or 2007 with respect to the goodwill allocated to our Retail, Manufacturing and Distribution and Services Industries reportable business segments. An impairment loss of $9.7 million was recorded in 2005 due to the historical performance of our point-of-sale systems (which are now included under the Retail reportable business segment) being below expectations and the slower projected growth rate for these applications in our operating plans. The impairment loss is reported as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income under the caption “Loss on impairment of goodwill.”

Customer lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 8 years to 13 years. The values allocated to customer list intangibles are based on the projected economic life of each acquired customer base, using historical turnover rates and discussions with the management of the acquired companies. We estimate the economic lives of these assets using the historical life experiences of the acquired companies as well as our historical experience with similar customer accounts for products that we have developed internally. We review customer attrition rates for each significant acquired customer group on annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances change, to ensure the rate of attrition is not increasing and if revisions to the estimated economic lives are required. We have experienced a higher than expected attrition rate in the customer group acquired from Manugistics during the first 18 months subsequent to the acquisition. We performed a discounted cash flow analysis on the remaining maintenance streams from this acquired customer group as of December 31, 2007 and found no indication of impairment. However, since the attrition rate experienced in 2007 was higher than the initial estimates used in the purchase price allocation, we will reduce the estimated useful life of the Manugistics customer lists from 13 years to 8 years effective January 1, 2008. With this change, the quarterly amortization of the Manugistics customer lists will increase to $4.9 million, or approximately $2.1 million per quarter, over the remaining useful life which extends through June 2014.

Acquired software technology is capitalized if the related software product under development has reached technological feasibility or if there are alternative future uses for the purchased software. Amortization of software technology is reported as a cost of product revenues in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS No. 86”). Software technology is amortized on a product-by-product basis with the amortization recorded for each product being the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future revenue for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product including the period being reported on. The estimated economic lives of our acquired software technology range from 5 years to 15 years.

limit their useful lives or the indefinite development of next generation products that would contribute to our cash flows. The E3 trademarks were tested annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 using the “Relief from Royalty Method of the Income Approach” and impairment losses of $200,000 were recorded in 2006 and 2005 due to a lower software revenue forecast and a flattening of the projected revenue growth curve. The impairment charges are reported as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income under the caption “Loss on impairment of trademark.” The Company announced in fourth quarter 2006 that it would continue to support the E3 product suite through the end of 2012 at a minimum. With this announcement, we classified the E3 trademarks as an amortized intangible asset at December 31, 2006 and began amortizing the remaining balance of $1.8 million prospectively on a straight-line basis over an estimated remaining useful life of 3 years.


	•	Product Development. The costs to develop new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. We consider technological feasibility to have occurred when all planning, designing, coding and testing have been completed according to design specifications. Once technological feasibility is established, any additional costs would be capitalized. We believe our current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no costs have been capitalized.

	•	Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We follow specific and detailed guidelines regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide valuation allowances when recovery of deferred tax assets is not considered likely.

We exercise significant judgment in determining our income tax provision due to transactions, credits and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Uncertainties arise as a consequence of the actual source of taxable income between domestic and foreign locations, the outcome of tax audits and the ultimate utilization of tax credits. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the final tax determination could differ from our recorded income tax provision and accruals. In such case, we would adjust the income tax provision in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. These adjustments could have a material impact on our income tax provision and our net income for that period.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income tax uncertainties and defines the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions and requires expanded disclosures at each interim and annual reporting period. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and requires that differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption are to be accounted for as cumulative-effect adjustments to beginning retained earnings.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was $3.5 million, of which $799,000 would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. With the adoption of FIN 48, we recognized a charge of approximately $1.0 million to beginning retained earnings for uncertain tax positions. In addition, a FIN 48 adjustment of $2.9 million was made to the purchase price allocation on the Manugistics acquisition to record a tax liability for uncertain tax positions which increased the goodwill balance. Other than the settlement of a tax audit in Germany, which could result in a decrease of approximately $800,000 in the FIN 48 tax liability in 2008, we do not believe there are any other uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.


	•	Stock-Based Compensation. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) effective January 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, share-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements will now include (i) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated under the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), and (ii) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 under the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow.

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 3.2 million stock options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $6.44 to $27.50 per share. We do not expect the outstanding stock options to result in a significant compensation expense charge as all stock options were fully vested prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Stock options are no longer used for share-based compensation. A 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”) was approved by our stockholders on May 16, 2005 that provides for the issuance of up to 1,847,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under stock purchase rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, performance units and deferred compensation awards. With the adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan, we terminated all prior stock option plans except for those provisions necessary to administer the outstanding options. The 2005 Incentive Plan contains certain restrictions that limit the number of shares that may be issued and cash awarded under each type of award, including a limitation that awards granted in any given year can be no more than two percent (2%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year. Awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan will be in such form as the Compensation Committee shall from time to time establish and may or may not be subject to vesting conditions based on the satisfaction of service requirements or other conditions, restrictions or performance criteria including the Company’s achievement of annual operating goals. Restricted stock and restricted stock units may also be granted as a component of an incentive package offered to new employees or to existing employees based on performance or in connection with a promotion, and will generally vest over a three-year period, commencing at the date of grant. We measure the fair value of awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. The awards are amortized over their applicable vesting period using graded vesting.

No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in 2006 related to the Integration Plan as management determined it was not probable that the performance condition would be met. The Company’s

performance against the defined performance threshold goal was evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2007 and stock-based compensation recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods that run from the date of the various board approvals through January 2010. A deferred compensation charge of $8.1 million was recorded in the equity section of our balance sheet during 2007, with a related increase to additional paid-in capital, for the total grant date fair value of the awards. We recognized $5.4 million in stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock unit awards in 2007. This charge is reflected in the consolidated statements of income under the captions “Cost of maintenance services,” “Cost of consulting services,” “Product development,” “Sales and marketing,” and “General and administrative.”

On February 7, 2008, the Board approved an incentive plan for 2008 similar to the Integration Plan (“New Incentive Plan”). The New Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and other certain other members of our management team if we are able to achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2008. The performance threshold goal is defined as $95.0 million of adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which excludes certain non-routine items. A partial pro-rata issuance of performance share awards will be made if we achieve a minimum performance threshold. The New Incentive Plan initially provides for up to 259,516 contingently issuable performance share awards with a fair value of approximately $4.5 million. The performance share awards, if any, will be issued after the approval of our 2008 financial results in January 2009 and will vest 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over a 24-month period. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal will be evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2008 and stock-based compensation recognized over the requisite service period that runs from February 7, 2008 (the date of board approval) through January 2011 pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 123(R). If we achieve the defined performance threshold goal we would expect to recognize approximately $3.0 million of the award as stock-based compensation in 2008.


	•	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign denominated assets and liabilities.

We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term debt which provides for quarterly interest payments at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) + 2.25%. To manage this risk, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 28, 2006 to fix LIBOR at 5.365% on $140 million, or 80% of the aggregate term loans. We have structured the interest rate swap with decreasing notional amounts to match the expected pay down of the debt. The notional value of the interest rate swap was $85.5 million at December 31, 2007 and represented approximately 86% of the aggregate term loan balance. The interest rate swap agreement is effective through October 5, 2009 and has been designated a cash flow hedge derivative. SFAS No. 133 requires derivatives to be recorded as either an asset or a liability in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as highly effective and qualify as a cash flow hedge are deferred and recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until net income is affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction (i.e., that quarterly payment of interest). When the hedged transaction affects earnings, the resulting gain or loss is reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” to the consolidated statement of income on the same line as the underlying transaction (i.e., interest expense). A change in the fair value of an ineffective portion of a hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings. We evaluate the

effectiveness of the cash flow hedge derivative on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2007, the hedge was highly effective and we have recorded a net unrealized loss of $290,000 in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

In connection with the acquisition of Manugistics, we issued 50,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for $50 million in cash. The Series B Preferred Stock included a scheduled redemption right that allowed any holder to demand a redemption of all or any part of their shares after September 6, 2013 at a cash redemption price equal to the greater of (a) a $1,000 per share liquidation value or (b) the fair market value of the common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The conversion feature as originally drafted was considered an embedded derivative under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, and accordingly was accounted for separately from the Series B Preferred Stock. On the date of issuance, we recorded a $10.9 million liability for the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and reduced the face value of the Series B Preferred Stock to $39.1 million.

The language in the agreement describing the conversion feature did not reflect the original intent of the parties, and as a result, we filed a Certificate of Correction with the State of Delaware on October 20, 2006 to correct the definition of cash redemption price and limit the cash redemption to the $1,000 per share liquidation value. After this change, the conversion feature no longer met the bifurcation criteria in SFAS No. 133. We recorded non-cash charges of $3.1 million in 2006 to reflect the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature from July 5, 2006 to October 20, 2006. The increase in the fair value of the conversion feature resulted from the increase in our stock price during this period of time. We reclassified the $14 million estimated fair value of the conversion feature on October 20, 2006 to additional paid-in capital pursuant to the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-7, Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133 (“EITF Issue No. 06-7”).

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). Among other requirements, SFAS No. 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157; however, we do not believe the adoption will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning the first fiscal years that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not currently intend to expand the use of fair value measurements in our financial reporting.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS No. 141 that require all business combinations to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, however, SFAS No. 141(R) significantly changes certain aspects of the prior guidance including: (i) acquisition-related costs, except for those costs incurred to issue debt or equity securities, will no longer be capitalized and must be expensed in the period incurred; (ii) non-controlling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; (iii) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; (iv) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will no longer be capitalized and must be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (v) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date will no longer be recorded as an adjustment of goodwill, rather such changes will be recognized through income tax expense or directly in contributed capital. SFAS 141(R) is effective for all business combinations having an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends

SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). We are currently evaluating the effects that SFAS 141(R) may have on our financial statements.


Item 7A.	*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk*

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.

Foreign currency exchange rates. Our international operations expose us to foreign currency exchange rate changes that could impact translations of foreign denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and future earnings and cash flows from transactions denominated in different currencies. International revenues represented 40% of our total revenues in 2007 as compared to 39% and 41% in 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, the identifiable net assets of our foreign operations totaled 28% of consolidated net assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006. Our exposure to currency exchange rate changes is diversified due to the number of different countries in which we conduct business. We operate outside the United States primarily through wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe, Asia/Pacific, Canada and Latin America. We have determined that the functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency and as such, foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Changes in the currency exchange rates of our foreign subsidiaries resulted in our reporting unrealized foreign currency translation gains of $3.3 million and $2.0 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively and an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $1.0 million in 2005.

Foreign currency gains and losses will continue to result from fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which we conduct operations as compared to the U.S. Dollar, and future operating results will be affected to some extent by gains and losses from foreign currency exposure. We prepared sensitivity analyses of our exposures from foreign net working capital as of December 31, 2007 to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in foreign currency rates. Based upon the results of these analyses, a 10% adverse change in all foreign currency rates from the December 31, 2007 rates would result in a currency translation loss of $1.7 million before tax.

We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. Forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign denominated assets and liabilities.

At December 31, 2007, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $28.4 million and an associated net forward contract liability of $131,000. At December 31, 2006, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $20.7 million and an associated net forward contract liability of $22,000. The net forward contract liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The notional value represents the amount of foreign currencies to be purchased or sold at maturity and does not represent our exposure on these contracts. We prepared sensitivity analyses of the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our forward exchange contracts at December 31, 2007. Based on the results of these analyses, a 10% adverse change in all foreign currency rates from the December 31, 2007 rates would result in a net forward contract liability of $2.5 million that would increase the underlying currency transaction loss on our net foreign assets. We recorded a foreign currency exchange contract gain of $147,000 in 2007 and contract losses of $316,000 and $464,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Interest rates. Through first quarter 2006, we invested our cash in a variety of financial instruments denominated in U.S. dollars, including bank time deposits and variable and fixed rate obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, states, municipalities, commercial paper and corporate bonds, and classified

all of our investments as available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” We liquidated substantially all of our investments through sales or maturities in second quarter 2006 in order to generate cash to complete the acquisition of Manugistics. There were no securities held as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and our excess cash balances were primarily invested in money market accounts. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances and are invested in short-term deposits of the local operating bank. Interest income earned on our investments is reflected in our financial statements under the caption “Other income (expense), net.” Our future interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.


Item 8.	*Financial Statements and Supplementary Data*

Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, together with the report of the independent registered public accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, are included in this Form 10-K as required by Rule 14a-3(b).


Item 9.	*Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure —*

None


Item 9A.	*Controls and Procedures*

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. During and subsequent to the reporting period, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect at the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect on December 31, 2007 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports to be filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures and is recorded, processed,

summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the Internal Control — Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche, LLP, an independent registered accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act and refers to the process of a company that is designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 and 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 issuer; (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 issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Item 9B.	*Other Information — None*

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

JDA Software Group, Inc.

Scottsdale, Arizona

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of JDA Software Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 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, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel 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 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 of the Company and our report dated March 14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s 2007 change in its method of accounting for income taxes to comply with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

JDA Software Group, Inc.

Scottsdale, Arizona

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JDA Software Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JDA Software Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 2007 to comply with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business. We are a leading provider of sophisticated software solutions designed specifically to address the supply and demand chain requirements of global consumer products companies, manufacturers, wholesale/distributors and retailers, as well as government and aerospace defense contractors and travel, transportation, hospitality and media organizations, and have an install base of over 5,600 customers worldwide. Our solutions enable customers to manage and optimize the coordination of supply, demand and flows of inventory throughout the supply and demand chain to the consumer. We have invested nearly $840 million in developed and acquired technology since 1996 when we became a public company. We believe the quality and breadth of our product offerings promote customer loyalty and drive repeat business as 65%, 79% and 70% of our sales were made to existing customers during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 1,600 associates and conducted business from 27 offices in three geographic regions: the Americas (includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America), Europe (Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Asia/Pacific. Each region has separate management teams and reporting structures. Our corporate offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JDA Software Group, Inc. and our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and are prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 to conform to the current presentation. Beginning in 2007, we have separately reported the provision for doubtful accounts in operating expenses under the caption “Provision for doubtful accounts.” We previously included the provision for doubtful accounts in operating expenses under the caption “General and administrative.”

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon an evaluation of our customers’ ability to pay and general economic conditions; the useful lives of intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of tangible and intangible asset values; deferred revenues; purchase accounting allocations and related reserves; and our effective income tax rate and the valuation allowance applied against deferred tax assets which are based upon our expectations of future taxable income, allowable deductions, and projected tax credits. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation. The financial statements of our international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at an average exchange rate for the revenues and expenses reported in each fiscal period. We have determined that the functional currency of each foreign subsidiary is the local currency and as such, foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on short-term intercompany receivables and payables and foreign denominated receivables, are included in results of operations as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank demand deposits, money market securities and highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The market value of these financial instruments approximates cost.

Accounts Receivable. We typically provide installment payment terms on most software license sales. Software licenses are generally due within twelve months from the date of delivery. Customers are reviewed for creditworthiness before we enter into a new arrangement that provides for software and/or a service element. We do not sell or ship our software, nor recognize any revenue unless we believe that collection is probable in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 8 in Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. For those customers who are not credit worthy, we require prepayment of the software license fee or a letter of credit before we will ship our software. We have a history of collecting software payments when they come due without providing refunds or concessions. Consulting services are generally billed bi-weekly and maintenance services are billed annually or monthly. For those customers who are significantly delinquent or whose credit deteriorates, we typically put the account on hold and do not recognize any further product or services revenue, and may as appropriate withdraw support and/or our implementation staff until the situation has been resolved.

We do not have significant billing or collection problems. We review each past due account and provide specific reserves based upon the information we gather from various sources including our customers, subsequent cash receipts, consulting services project teams, members of each region’s management, and credit rating services such as Dun and Bradstreet. Although infrequent and unpredictable, from time to time certain of our customers have filed bankruptcy, and we have been required to refund the pre-petition amounts collected and settle for less than the face value of its remaining receivable pursuant to a bankruptcy court order. In these situations, as soon as it becomes probable that the net realizable value of the receivable is impaired, we provide reserves against the receivable. In addition, we monitor economic conditions in the various geographic regions in which we operate to determine if general reserves or adjustments to our credit policy in a region are appropriate for deteriorating conditions that may impact the net realizable value of our receivables.

Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: computers, internal use software, furniture and fixtures — two to seven years; buildings and improvements — fifteen to forty years; automobiles — three years; leasehold improvements — the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Business Combinations. We have applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141”) to all of our business combinations during the three years ended December 31, 2007. SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting on all business combinations, provides guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill arising from business combinations and identifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are to be recognized and reported separate from goodwill. The total purchase price of each acquired company has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values (see Note 2).

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired in our business combinations. We account for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No 142”). Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired, using a two-step process that compares a weighted average of the fair value of future cash flows under the “Discounted Cash Flow Method of the Income Approach” and the “Guideline Company Method” to the carrying value of goodwill allocated to our reporting units. The first step compares the book value of each reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The second step, which is only required when the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, compares the implied fair value of goodwill in a reporting unit to its book value. The implied fair value of goodwill in a reporting unit is determined by allocating the fair value of all assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including any unrecognized intangible assets) in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. If the implied fair value of goodwill in a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.

No indications of impairment were identified in 2007 or 2006 with respect to the goodwill allocated to our Retail, Manufacturing and Distribution and Services Industries reportable business segments (see Notes 6 and 19).

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

An impairment loss of $9.7 million was recorded in 2005 due to the historical performance of our point-of-sale systems (which are now reported under the Retail reportable business segment) being below expectations and the slower projected growth rate for these applications in our operating plans. The impairment loss is reported as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income under the caption “Loss on Impairment of Goodwill.”

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of customer lists, acquired software technology and trademarks acquired in business combinations (see Notes 2 and 6).

Customer lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 8 years to 13 years. The values allocated to customer list intangibles are based on the projected economic life of each acquired customer base, using historical turnover rates and discussions with the management of the acquired companies. We estimate the economic lives of these assets using the historical life experiences of the acquired companies as well as our historical experience with similar customer accounts for products that we have developed internally. We review customer attrition rates for each significant acquired customer group on annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances change, to ensure the rate of attrition is not increasing and if revisions to the estimated economic lives are required. We have experienced a higher than expected attrition rate in the customer group acquired from Manugistics during the first 18 months subsequent to the acquisition. We performed a discounted cash flow analysis on the remaining maintenance revenue streams from this acquired customer group as of December 31, 2007 and found no indication of impairment. However, since the attrition rate experienced in 2007 was higher than the initial estimates used in the purchase price allocation, we will reduce the estimated useful life of the Manugistics customer lists from 13 years to 8 years effective January 1, 2008. With this change, the quarterly amortization of the Manugistics customer lists will increase to $4.9 million, or approximately $2.1 million per quarter, over the remaining useful life which extends through June 2014.

Trademarks have been acquired primarily in the acquisitions of Manugistics and E3 Corporation (“E3”). The Manugistics trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years. We initially assigned indefinite useful lives to the E3 trademarks, and recorded no amortization, as we believed there were no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that would limit their useful lives or the indefinite development of next generation products that would contribute to our cash flows. The E3 trademarks were tested annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 using the “Relief from Royalty Method of the Income Approach” and impairment losses of $200,000 were recorded in 2006 and 2005 due to a lower software revenue forecast and a flattening of the projected revenue growth curve. The impairment losses are reported as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income under the caption “Loss on impairment of trademark” and were allocated to the Retail ($309,000) and Manufacturing and Distribution ($91,000) reportable business segments based on the initial allocation percentage used for these trademarks at the date of acquisition. The Company announced in fourth quarter 2006 that it would continue to support the E3 product suite through the end of 2012 at a minimum. With this announcement, we classified the E3 trademarks as an amortized intangible asset at December 31, 2006 and began amortizing the remaining balance of $1.8 million prospectively on a straight-line basis over an estimated remaining useful life of 3 years. No indications of impairment were identified in 2007 with respect to our trademarks.

Revenue recognition. We license software primarily under non-cancelable agreements and provide related services, including consulting, training and customer support. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), Software Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted by Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts (“ARB No. 45”), Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, that provides further interpretive guidance for public companies on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.

Software license revenue is generally recognized using the residual method when:


	•	Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and a license agreement has been signed;

	•	Delivery, which is typically FOB shipping point, is complete;

	•	Fees are fixed and determinable and there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance;

	•	Collection is considered probable; and

	•	Vendor-specific evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements.

Maintenance services are separately priced and stated in our arrangements. Maintenance services typically include on-line support, access to our Solution Centers via telephone and web interfaces, comprehensive error diagnosis and correction, and the right to receive unspecified upgrades and enhancements, when and if we make them generally available. Maintenance services are generally billed on a monthly basis and recorded as revenue in the applicable month, or billed on an annual basis with the revenue initially deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. VSOE for maintenance services is the price customers will be required to pay when it is sold separately, which is typically the renewal rate.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

consolidated statements of income and are recognized once the training services are provided. VSOE for consulting and training services is based upon the hourly or per class rates charged when those services are sold separately. We offer hosting services on certain of our software products under arrangements in which the end users do not take possession of the software. Revenues from hosting services are included in consulting revenues, billed monthly and recognized as the services are provided. Revenues from our hardware reseller business are also included in consulting revenues, reported net (i.e., the amount billed to a customer less the amount paid to the supplier) pursuant to EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, and recognized upon shipment of the hardware.

Software License Indemnification. Our standard software license agreements contain an infringement indemnity clause under which we agree to indemnify and hold harmless our customers and business partners against liability and damages arising from claims of various copyright or other intellectual property infringement by our products. These terms constitute a form of guarantee that is subject to the disclosure requirements, but not the initial recognition or measurement provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others.” We have never lost an infringement claim and our costs to defend such lawsuits have been insignificant. Although it is possible that in the future third parties may claim that our current or potential future software solutions infringe on their intellectual property, we do not currently expect a significant impact on our business, operating results, or financial condition.

Reimbursed Expenses. We classify reimbursed expenses in both service revenues and cost of service revenues in our consolidated statements of income pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred.

Product Development. The costs to develop new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. We consider technological feasibility to have occurred when all planning, designing, coding and testing have been completed according to design specifications. Once technological feasibility is established, any additional costs would be capitalized. We believe our current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no costs have been capitalized.

In-Process Research and Development. In business combinations accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, the amount of purchase price allocated to in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is expensed at the date of acquisition in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method, an Interpretation of SFAS No. 2. IPR&D consists of products or technologies in the development stage for which technological feasibility has not been established and which we believe have no alternative use. There was no IPR&D recorded on any of our business combinations during the three years ended December 31, 2007.

Restructuring Charges. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS No. 146”) has been applied to all exit or disposal activities initiated by the Company since December 31, 2002 (see Note 9). Under SFAS No. 146, the liability for costs

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

associated with exit or disposal activities is recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date the Company committed to the exit plan. Restructuring charges are not directly identified with a particular business segment and as a result, management does not consider these charges in the evaluation of the operating income (loss) from the business segments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). We use derivative financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to manage a majority of the foreign currency exchange exposure associated with net short-term foreign denominated assets and liabilities which exist as part of our ongoing business operations. The exposures relate primarily to the gain or loss recognized in earnings from the settlement of current foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 90 days, and are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133. The forward exchange contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recognized in other income offset by the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign denominated assets and liabilities.

We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term debt which provides for quarterly interest payments at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) + 2.25% (see Note 10). To manage this risk, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 28, 2006 to fix LIBOR at 5.365% on $140 million, or 80% of the aggregate term loans. We have structured the interest rate swap with decreasing notional amounts to match the expected pay down of the debt. The notional value of the interest rate swap was $85.5 million at December 31, 2007 and represented approximately 86% of the aggregate term loan balance. The interest rate swap agreement is effective through October 5, 2009 and has been designated a cash flow hedge derivative. SFAS No. 133 requires derivatives to be recorded as either an asset or a liability in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as highly effective and qualify as a cash flow hedge are deferred and recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until net income is affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction (i.e., that quarterly payment of interest). When the hedged transaction affects earnings, the resulting gain or loss is reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” to the consolidated statement of income on the same line as the underlying transaction (i.e., interest expense). A change in the fair value of an ineffective portion of a hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings. We evaluate the effectiveness of the cash flow hedge derivative on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2007, the hedge was highly effective and we have recorded a net unrealized loss of $290,000 in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

we recorded a $10.9 million liability for the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and reduced the face value of the Series B Preferred Stock to $39.1 million.

Stock-Based Compensation. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) effective January 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, share-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements will now include (i) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated under the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), and (ii) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 under the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated

SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, cash flows from operating activities were reduced by $1.3 million and $330,000, respectively for the excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for share-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, we elected to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and account for share-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method. Under the intrinsic-value method, we recognized no share-based compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements for stock options. We provided pro forma disclosure on a quarterly and annual basis of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for stock options as if the fair-value method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

The following table presents the effect on reported net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 as if we had accounted for our stock options under the fair-value method of accounting. No such disclosures are made for 2006 or 2007 as all share-based payments in these years have been accounted for under SFAS No. 123(R). The last stock options granted by the Company were in 2004. Share-based compensation expense for these grants under the fair value method was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and assumes

Compensation expense for awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and other forms of equity based compensation are based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant, amortized over their applicable vesting period (generally 3 years) using graded vesting.

Income taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We follow specific and detailed guidelines regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any valuation allowances when recovery of deferred tax assets is not considered likely (see Note 17).

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income tax uncertainties and defines the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions and requires expanded disclosures at each interim and annual reporting period. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and requires that differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption are to be accounted for as cumulative-effect adjustments to beginning retained earnings.

Earnings per Share. The Company has two classes of outstanding capital stock, Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is a participating security, such that in the event a dividend is declared or paid on the common stock, the Company must simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Preferred Stock as if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock. According to the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, companies having participating securities are required to apply the two-class method to compute basic earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, basic earnings per share is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period.

Diluted earnings per share for 2007 include the assumed conversation of the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock as of the beginning of the period and the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share for 2006 excludes the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock and outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for 2005 includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method (see Note 18).

Other New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). Among other requirements, SFAS No. 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157; however, we do not believe the adoption will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning the first fiscal years that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not currently intend to expand the use of fair value measurements in our financial reporting.


2.	Acquisitions

Manugistics Group, Inc. We completed the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. (“Manugistics”) on July 5, 2006 for a total estimated cost of $255 million which includes the cash purchase price of $211 million plus $13 million in estimated direct costs of the acquisition and $31 million in estimated costs to exit certain activities of Manugistics (the “Merger”). Manugistics was a leading global provider of synchronized supply chain and revenue

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

management solutions that enabled customers to achieve improved forecast and inventory accuracy and leverage industry leading pricing and yield management solutions to maximize profits while ensuring optimum supply for constantly changing demand. We believe that the combination of the two companies has created a unique competitive position for JDA and has enhanced our profile in the marketplace. We believe no other software company is currently able to offer a similar breadth and depth of vertically focused solutions to the supply and demand chain market. The acquisition has provided cross-selling opportunities for Manugistics’ advanced optimization solutions in our existing retail customer base and Manugistics’ supply chain and revenue management solutions have enabled us to significantly expand our presence with manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Manugistics’ common stock was converted into the right to receive $2.50 per share in cash (“Merger Consideration”). In addition, immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, Manugistics accelerated and fully vested all of its outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards. Holders of equity awards that were not exercised prior to the completion of the Merger were entitled to receive a cash payout equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of the equity awards.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase pursuant to SFAS No. 141, and accordingly, the operating results of Manugistics have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The final purchase price allocation was completed in 2007. We recorded $74.1 million in goodwill on the Manugistics acquisition which has been allocated to our reporting units as follows: $44.5 million to Retail, $25.9 million to Manufacturing and Distribution and $3.7 million to Services Industries. In addition, we recorded $172.1 million in other intangible assets which include $142.8 million for customer lists, $26.3 million in software technology and $3.0 million for trademarks. As of December 31, 2007, the estimated weighted average amortization period for all intangible assets acquired in this transaction that are subject to amortization is 12.3 years.

The following table summarizes the fair value for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

We have experienced a higher than expected attrition rate in the customer group acquired from Manugistics during the first 18 months subsequent to the acquisition. We performed a discounted cash flow analysis on the remaining maintenance revenue streams from this acquired customer group as of December 31, 2007 and found no indication of impairment. However, since the attrition rate experienced in 2007 was higher than the initial estimates used in the purchase price allocation, we will reduce the estimated useful life of the Manugistics customer lists from 13 years to 8 years effective January 1, 2008. With this change, the quarterly amortization of the Manugistics customer lists will increase to $4.9 million, or approximately $2.1 million per quarter, over the remaining useful life which extends through June 2014.

We currently expect approximately $9.9 million of the goodwill recorded in Manugistics acquisition to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 assume the Manugistics acquisition occurred as of January 1 of each year.

Goodwill. We recorded an $11.4 million reduction in goodwill in 2007 as a result of certain adjustments made to the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Manugistics. These adjustments were primarily to finalize the fair value of the account receivable balances, to increase the long-term deferred tax assets, to adjust the reserves for the estimated costs to exit certain activities of Manugistics (see Note 8), to record a $2.9 million accrual for uncertain tax position liabilities (see Note 17) and to reduce the deferred revenue balances. No indications of impairment were identified in 2007 or 2006 with respect to the goodwill allocated to our Retail, Manufacturing and Distribution and Services Industries reportable business segments. Absent future indications of impairment, the next annual impairment test will be performed in fourth quarter 2008. As of December 31, 2007, goodwill has been allocated to our reporting units as follows: $86.6 million to Retail, $44.3 million to Manufacturing and Distribution, and $3.7 million to Services Industries.

Amortization expense for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $22.2 million, $15.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, and is shown as separate line items in the consolidated statements of income within cost of revenues and operating expenses. We expect amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows, which includes the

8.	Acquisition Reserves

In conjunction with the acquisition of Manugistics, we recorded initial acquisition reserves of $47.4 million for restructuring charges and other direct costs associated with the acquisition. These costs related primarily to facility closures, employee severance and termination benefits, investment banker fees, change-in-control payments, and legal and accounting costs. We decreased the acquisition reserves by $3.3 million in 2007 based on our revised estimates of the restructuring costs to exit certain of the activities of Manugistics. Substantially all of these adjustments were made by June 30, 2007 and included in the final purchase price allocation with the exception of a $93,000 decrease in the acquisition reserves recorded in fourth quarter 2007 which is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Restructuring charges and adjustments to acquisition-related reserves.” The unused portion of the acquisition reserves was $18.2 million at December 31, 2007, of which $6.4 million is included in current liabilities under the caption “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and $11.8 million is included in non-current liabilities under the caption “Accrued exit and disposal obligations.”

The office closures, lease termination and sublease costs are costs of a plan to exit an activity of an acquired company as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 (“EITF No. 95-3”), Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, and include the estimated costs of management’s plan to shut down and/or vacate eight offices of Manugistics shortly after the acquisition date. These costs have no future economic benefit to the Company and are incremental to the other costs incurred by the Company or Manugistics. We decreased the reserves for facility closures by $3.4 million in 2007 due primarily to our revised estimate and finalization of market adjustments on unfavorable office facility leases in Rockville, Maryland and the United Kingdom and adjustments for sublease rentals, primarily in the Rockville facility.

Employee severance and termination benefits are costs resulting from a plan to terminate employees from the acquired company as described in EITF No. 95-3. As of the consummation date of the acquisition, executive management approved a plan to terminate approximately 110 of the 765 full time employees of Manugistics. In the first three months following the consummation of the Manugistics acquisition, management completed the assessment of which employees would be terminated and communicated the termination arrangements to the affected employees in accordance with statutory requirements of the local jurisdictions in which the employees were located. We decreased the reserves for employee severance and termination benefits by $190,000 in 2007 due to our revised estimate of settlement costs on certain foreign employees. As of December 31, 2007, the remaining balance in the reserve is related to certain foreign employees.


9.	Restructuring Charges

2007 Restructuring Charges

We recorded restructuring charges of $6.2 million in 2007 that included $5.9 million for termination benefits and $292,000 for office closures. The termination benefits are primarily related to a workforce reduction of approximately 120 full-time employees (“FTE”) in our Scottsdale, Arizona product development group as a direct result of our decision to standardize future product offerings on the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform and

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

reduction of approximately 40 FTE in our worldwide consulting services group. The office closure charge is for the closure and integration costs of redundant office facilities.

As of December 31, 2007, all costs associated with the 2007 restructuring charges have been paid with the exception of a $196,000 reserve for termination benefits, primarily for foreign employees, and a $39,000 reserve for office closures which are included in the caption “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.” We expect substantially all of the remaining termination benefits and office closure costs to be paid in 2008.

A summary of the 2007 restructuring and office closure charges is as follows:

Total	$	6,200	$	(5,971	)	$	6	$	235

2006 Restructuring Charges

We recorded restructuring charges of $6.2 million in 2006 that included $4.8 million for termination benefits and relocation bonuses and $1.4 million for office closures. The restructuring charges were primarily related to the consolidation of two existing JDA offices in the United Kingdom into the Manugistics office facility in the United Kingdom and the elimination of certain accounting and administrative positions in Europe and Canada. We increased the reserves by $88,000 in 2007 based on our revised estimates to complete the restructuring activities. As of December 31, 2007, all costs associated with the 2006 restructuring charges have been paid with the exception of a $197,000 reserve for termination benefits, primarily for foreign employees, and $67,000 for office closures which are included in the caption “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.” We expect substantially all of the remaining termination benefits and office closure costs to be paid in 2008.

Restructuring Charges Related to Our 2005 Operating Plan

We recorded charges of $3.1 million in fourth quarter 2004 and $2.5 million in 2005 related to certain restructuring initiatives in our 2005 Operating Plan which included a consolidation of product lines, a net workforce reduction of approximately 12% or 154 full-time employees (“FTE”) worldwide and a reduction of office space.

The charges included $4.8 million for termination benefits for certain employees involved in the product development (78 FTE), consulting services and training (57 FTE), sales and marketing (20 FTE), and administrative (13 FTE) functions in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, offset by a net gain of 14 FTE in the customer support function resulting from the transfer of 20 developers and functional experts into our Customer Support Solutions group. The charges also included $764,000 for office closure costs associated with negotiated buyouts and net rentals remaining under existing operating leases on certain vacated facilities in the United States and Northern Europe. Subsequent adjustments were made based on our revised estimates to increase the reserves by $166,000 in 2005 and decrease the reserves by $96,000 in 2006. These adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

of income under the captions “Cost of consulting services,” “Sales and marketing,” and “General and administrative.” The remaining reserves from these restructuring activities were $225,000 and $295,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, relate primarily to a vacated facility in Georgia which is being paid over the term of the lease and related sublease which extend through 2010 and termination benefits for an employee in France that has filed an appeal on a labor court ruling, and are included in the caption “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.”


10.	Long-term Debt and Revolving Credit Facilities:

To finance the acquisition of Manugistics and the repayment of their debt obligations, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders, including Citibank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, that provided $175 million in aggregate term loans, $50 million in revolving credit facilities and up to $75 million of incremental term or revolving credit facilities as requested, subject to certain terms and conditions. The term loans mature in July 2013 and are payable in 27 scheduled quarterly installments of $437,500 that began in September 2006, with the remaining balance due at maturity. In addition to the scheduled maturities, the Credit Agreement also requires additional mandatory repayments on the term loans based on a percentage of our annual excess cash flow, as defined, beginning with the fiscal year that commenced January 1, 2007. Pursuant to this provision, we are required to remit an additional mandatory payment of approximately $5.3 million on the term loan by March 30, 2008. Interest is payable quarterly on the term loans at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) + 2.25%. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 28, 2006 to fix LIBOR at 5.365% on $140 million, or 80% of the aggregate term loans. We have structured the interest rate swap with decreasing notional amounts to match the expected pay down of the debt. The notional value of the interest rate swap was $85.5 million at December 31, 2007 and represented approximately 86% of the aggregate term loan balance. The interest rate swap agreement is effective through October 5, 2009 and has been designated a cash flow hedge derivative (see Note 1).

The revolving credit facilities mature on July 5, 2012 with interest payable quarterly at LIBOR + 2.25%. The interest rate on the revolving credit facilities may be adjusted quarterly beginning January 1, 2007 based on our Leverage Ratio and range from LIBOR + 1.75% to LIBOR + 2.25%. There were no adjustments made to the interest rate on the revolving credit facilities during 2007. The revolving credit facilities also require that we pay an annual commitment fee equal of .5% of the available credit. The annual commitment fee, which is payable quarterly in arrears, may be adjusted quarterly beginning January 1, 2007 based on our Leverage Ratio and range from .375% to .5%. The Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less excess cash, as defined, to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments as defined in the agreement). The Leverage Ratio is calculated quarterly on a pro forma basis that includes the four preceding quarters and cannot exceed the following thresholds over the term of the loan: Fiscal 2006 and 2007 — 3.00 to 1.0; Fiscal 2008 — 2.50 to 1.0; Fiscal 2009 — 2.00 to 1.0; Fiscal 2010 through maturity — 1.50 to 1.0. The actual Leverage Ratios for 2007 and 2006 were .5 to 1.0 and 1.9 to 1.0, respectively. No changes have been made to our annual commitment fee.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and our domestic subsidiaries, including Manugistics, and by a pledge of two-thirds of the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default that permit the lenders to accelerate payment of the outstanding obligations if not cured within applicable grace periods, including the nonpayment of reimbursement obligations, fees or other amounts, a specified change in control, violation of covenants, or inaccuracy of representations and warranties and provides for automatic acceleration upon the occurrence of bankruptcy and other insolvency events.

Proceeds from the term loans of approximately $168.4 million, which is net of nearly $6.6 million of loan origination and other administrative fees, together with the JDA and Manugistics combined cash balances at acquisition closing of approximately $281 million and the $50 million investment from Thoma Cressey Bravo

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Equity Partners in the form of Series B Preferred Stock (see Note 14), were used to fund the cash obligations under the Merger Agreement and related transaction expenses and to retire approximately $174 million of Manugistics’ existing debt consisting of Convertible Subordinated Notes that were scheduled to mature in 2007. Additionally, we utilized the revolving credit facilities to replace approximately $9.6 million of Manugistics’ standby letters of credit.

We initially established a 3-year straight-line amortization schedule for the loan origination and other administrative fees based upon an accelerated repayment of the term loan obligations. The Company made a decision in fourth quarter 2007 to limit further repayment of the term loan obligations to the minimum scheduled quarterly installments set forth in the credit agreement. With this change, the amortization period was extended through the July 2013 maturity and the quarterly amortization of loan origination and other administrative fees decreased approximately $384,000 beginning in fourth quarter 2007. Amortization expense related to the loan origination and other administrative fees was $1.8 million and $1.1 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively and is included under the caption “Interest expense and amortization of loan fees.”

During 2007 and 2006 we repaid $40.0 million and $35.4 million of the term loans, including the scheduled quarterly installments that began in September 2006. During 2007, we also retired the remaining $1.5 million of Convertible Subordinated Notes assumed in the Manugistics acquisition. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 long-term debt consists of the following:


	2007			2006

We currently have no sublease agreements in place that provide for sublease rentals beyond 2012.


13.	Legal Proceedings

We are involved in other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance, management does not currently believe the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14.	Redeemable Preferred Stock

In connection with the Manugistics acquisition, we issued 50,000 shares of a Series B Preferred Stock to funds affiliated with Thoma Cressey Bravo Equity Partners (“Thoma Cressey Bravo”) for $50 million in cash (the “Equity Financing”). Thoma Cressey Bravo is a private equity investment firm. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time in whole or in part, into a maximum of 3,603,603 shares of JDA common stock based on an agreed conversion rate of $13.875. The preferred stock contains certain pre-emptive rights and liquidation preferences and is non-dividend paying. However, the Series B Preferred Stock is a participating security, such that in the event a dividend is declared or paid on the common stock, the Company must simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock as if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock.

The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to notice of all stockholder meetings and generally may vote as a single class together with our common stock on all matters submitted to our stockholders for a vote. In addition, the approval of the majority of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, is required for certain fundamental transactions, including acquisitions, financings and reorganizations. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled as a class to elect a director to our Board and have appointed Mr. Orlando Bravo, a Managing Partner with Thoma Cressey Bravo, to become a member of our Board of Directors.

The Series B Preferred Stock included a scheduled redemption right that allowed any holder to demand a redemption of all or any part of their shares after September 6, 2013 at a cash redemption price equal to the greater of (a) a $1,000 per share liquidation value or (b) the fair market value of the common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock, as originally drafted, was considered an embedded derivative under the provision of SFAS No. 133, and accordingly was accounted for separately from the Series B Preferred Stock (see Note 1). On the date of issuance, we recorded a $10.9 million liability for the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and reduced the face value of the Series B Preferred Stock to $39.1 million. Pursuant to the guidance in EITF Topic D-98, the Series B Preferred Stock has been classified in the balance sheet between long-term debt and shareholders’ equity. We subsequently made an adjustment of $10.9 million to increase the carrying amount of the Series B Preferred Stock back to its redemption value of $50 million. In accordance with EITF Topic D-98, the increase in the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock has been treated in the same manner as dividends on non-redeemable stock and charged to retained earnings. The increase in the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock reduces income applicable to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share (see Note 18).


15.	Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Plan. We adopted a Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) in October 1998 designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics and to prevent a person or a group from gaining control of our Company without offering a fair price to all stockholders.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Under the terms of the Rights Plan, a dividend distribution of one Preferred Stock Purchase Right (“ Purchase Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock was made to holders of record on October 20, 1998. The Purchase Rights entitle the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of our Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) at an exercise price of $100. The Purchase Rights become exercisable (a) 10 days after a public announcement that a person or group has acquired shares representing 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock, or (b) 10 business days following commencement of a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of such outstanding shares of common stock.

We can redeem the Purchase Rights for $0.001 per Purchase Right at any time prior to their becoming exercisable. The Purchase Rights expire on October 1, 2008, unless we redeem them earlier or they are exchanged for common stock. Under certain circumstances, if a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock, the Purchase Rights permit stockholders other than the acquirer to purchase common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of the Purchase Rights, in lieu of the Preferred Stock. In addition, in the event of certain business combinations, the Purchase Rights permit stockholders to purchase the common stock of an acquirer at a 50% discount. Purchase Rights held by the acquirer will become null and void in both cases.

Treasury Stock Repurchases. In July 2007, the term loan credit agreement (see Note 10) was amended to allow us to make open market cash purchases of our common stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. There were no open market cash purchases of our common stock during 2007.

Stock Option Plans.

Our 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Option Plan”) was approved by stockholders and provided for the issuance of up to 8,200,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under incentive and non-statutory stock option grants. The incentive and non-statutory options were granted at a price not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, generally vested over a three to four-year period commencing at the date of grant and expire in ten years. No stock options have been granted under the 1996 Option Plan since 2004 and the plan was terminated effective May 16, 2005 except for those provisions necessary for the administration of any outstanding options.

Our 1996 Outside Director Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Directors Plan”) was approved by stockholders and provided for the issuance of up to 225,000 shares of common stock to our outside directors under initial and annual non-statutory stock option grants. The non-statutory stock options were granted at a price not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, generally vested over a three-year period commencing at the date of grant and expire in ten years. No stock options have been granted under the 1996 Directors Plan since 2004 and the plan was terminated effective May 16, 2005 except for those provisions necessary for the administration of any outstanding options.

Our 1998 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Option Plan”) was not approved by stockholders. The 1998 Option Plan provided for the issuance of up to 762,500 shares of common stock to employees under non-

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

statutory stock option grants and permitted option grants to executive officers under certain conditions. The non-statutory stock options were granted at a price not less than the fair market of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vested over a three to four-year period commencing at the date of grant and expire over periods ranging from five to ten years. No stock options have been granted under the 1998 Option Plan since 2002 and the plan was terminated effective May 16, 2005 except for those provisions necessary for the administration of any outstanding options.

Accelerated Vesting of Stock Options. On February 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the immediate vesting of all unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors. The accelerated options were issued under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Director Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan. The closing market price per share of our common stock on February 15, 2005 was $11.85 and the exercise prices of the approximately 1.4 million in unvested options on that date ranged from $8.50 to $28.20. No stock-based compensation expense has been recorded with respect to these options unless an employee, officer or director actually benefited from this modification. For those employees, officers and directors who do benefit from the accelerated vesting, we are required to record additional stock-based compensation expense equal to the intrinsic value of the option on the date of modification (i.e., February 15, 2005). We recorded no additional stock-based compensation expense on these options in 2007 and $4,000 and $49,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

2005 Performance Incentive Plan. A 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”) was approved by our stockholders on May 16, 2005. The 2005 Incentive Plan replaced our 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan and 1998 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (collectively, our “Prior Plans”) and provides for the issuance of up to 1,847,000 shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under stock purchase rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, performance units and deferred compensation awards. With the adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan, we terminated all prior stock option plans except for those provisions necessary to administer the outstanding options. The 2005 Incentive Plan contains certain restrictions that limit the number of shares that may be issued and cash awarded under each type of award, including a limitation that awards granted in any given year can be no more than two percent (2%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year. Awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan will be in such form as the Compensation Committee shall from time to time establish and may or may not be subject to vesting conditions based on the satisfaction of service requirements or other conditions, restrictions or performance criteria including the Company’s achievement of annual operating goals. Restricted stock and restricted stock units may also be granted as a component of an incentive package offered to new employees or to existing employees based on performance or in connection with a promotion, and will generally vest over a three-year period, commencing at the date of grant. We measure the fair value of awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. The awards are amortized over their applicable vesting period using graded vesting.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Restricted stock unit awards of 9,000 and 62,913 were made in 2007 and 2005 under incentive packages offered to new and existing employees with grant date fair values of $185,000 and $775,000, respectively. There were no restricted stock unit awards in 2006. Restricted stock awards of 30,981 and 77,214 were made in 2007 and 2006 with grant date fair values of 629,000 and $1.2 million, respectively to our directors, executive officers and certain other members of our management team based on the achievement of operating goals and to new employees as part of incentive packages. Restricted stock awards to our directors were granted fully vested and the related share-based compensation was recognized on the date of grant. Share-based compensation on all other awards is being amortized over the applicable vesting periods in the awards using the straight-line method.

We recorded total share-based compensation expense of $6.2 million, $656,000 and $350,000 related to 2005 Incentive Plan awards in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively and as of December 31, 2007 we have included $3.5 million of deferred compensation in stockholders’ equity. This compensation is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units vested during 2007 and 2006 was $783,000 and $949,000, respectively. No restricted shares or restricted share units vested during 2005.

On February 7, 2008, the Board approved an incentive plan for 2008 similar to the Integration Plan (“New Incentive Plan”). The New Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and other certain other members of our management team if we are able to achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2008. The performance threshold goal is defined as $95.0 million of adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which excludes certain non-routine items. A partial pro-rata issuance of performance share awards will be made if we achieve a minimum performance threshold. The New Incentive Plan initially provides for up to 259,516 contingently issuable performance share awards with a fair value of approximately $4.5 million. The performance share awards, if any, will be issued after the approval of our 2008 financial results in January 2009 and will vest 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over a 24-month period. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal will be evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2008 and stock-based compensation recognized over the requisite service period that runs from February 7, 2008 (the date of board approval) through January 2011 pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 123(R). If we achieve the defined performance threshold goal we would expect to recognize approximately $3.0 million of the award as share-based compensation in 2008.

On March 12, 2008, the Board approved the adoption of an employee stock purchase plan (“2008 Purchase Plan”) effective upon approval by the Company’s stockholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2008 Purchase Plan will provide eligible employees the ability to defer up to 10% of their earnings for the purchase of our common stock on a semi-annual basis at 85% of the fair market value on the last day of each six-month offering period. The 2008 Purchase Plan provides for an initial reserve of 600,000 shares with an automatic annual increase, beginning August 1, 2009 through August 1, 2014, equal to 1% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year or such lesser amount of shares as determined by the Board.


16.	Employee Benefit Plans

We maintain a defined 401(k) contribution plan (“401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of our employees. Participant contributions vest immediately and are subject to the limits established from time-to-time by the Internal Revenue

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Service. We provide discretionary matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan on an annual basis. Our matching contributions were 25% in 2007, 2006 and 2005 and vest 100% after 2 years of service. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $1.4 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.


17.	Income Taxes

The income tax (provision) benefit includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred due to temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The components of the income tax (provision) benefit for the three years ended December 31, 2007 are as follows:


	2007			2006			2005

Current taxes:
Federal and state	$	(356	)	$	448		$	(1,922	)
Foreign		(3,548	)		(2,261	)		(1,623	)

Total current taxes		(3,904	)		(1,813	)		(3,545	)
Deferred taxes		(9,991	)		946			6,003

Income tax (provision) benefit	$	(13,895	)	$	(867	)	$	2,458

The effective tax rate used to record the income tax (provision) benefit in 2007, 2006 and 2005 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits, and does not include the tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during 2007, 2006 and 2005 of $1.3 million, $330,000 and $807,000, respectively. These tax benefits reduce our income tax liabilities and are included as an increase to additional paid-in capital to the extent they exceed the book compensation expense of the award.

The deferred tax expense in 2007 resulted primarily from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax benefit in 2006 resulted primarily from the capitalization, for income tax purposes, of certain research and development costs. The deferred tax benefit in 2005 resulted primarily from an increase in temporary differences related to an impairment charge of $9.7 million to write-off all goodwill associated with our point-of-sale systems (which are now reported under the Retail reportable business segment) (see Note 1).

Income tax (provision) benefit	$	(13,895	)	$	(867	)	$	2,458

Income before income taxes for 2007, 2006 and 2005 includes $8.2 million, $5.6 million and $6.1 million of foreign pretax income, respectively.

The extra-territorial income exclusion (“ETI”) provides a tax incentive to U.S. companies with export activity occurring on or after October 1, 2000. The tax code and regulations present a number of different methods for computing the ETI benefit based on the gross receipts and net income from export sales, leases and related services. Taxpayers may choose the method that produces the greatest benefit for each individual export transaction. Until 2005, we had not been in a position to utilize the ETI benefit as the computation would limit our ability to utilize foreign tax credits. The enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “AJCA”), which became effective on January 1, 2005, allows taxpayers to carry foreign tax credits forward ten years from the year in which they were generated. With the passage of the AJCA, we are now able to realize the ETI benefit by amending our prior year US federal tax returns without limiting our ability to fully utilize foreign tax credits. We have recorded ETI benefits of $576,000 and $722,000, related to 2006 and 2005, respectively. The ETI benefits of approximately $2.3 million for the years 2002 through 2004 were recorded as a change in estimate in the 2005 summary of discrete tax item benefits. The ETI tax incentive expired in 2006.

In connection with the Manugistics acquisition in 2006, we established a valuation allowance of approximately $39.4 million against acquired net operating losses. The net operating losses are from both the United States and foreign entities and, based on our initial assessment, we believed we would not be able to fully utilize these losses. We subsequently eliminated the valuation allowance during 2007 in connection with the final purchase price allocation as we now believe the Company will be able to fully utilize certain of the acquired net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 is for a state research and development tax credit carryforward that we may not be able to fully utilize before it expires.

Residual United States income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for United States federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both United States income taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries less an adjustment for foreign tax credits. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on the foreign earnings. The Company has incurred net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions that will be carried forward to future years.

reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The FIN 48 adjustments on January 1, 2007 include an accrual of approximately $1.3 million for interest and penalties. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to the uncertain tax positions, the accrued amounts for interest and penalties will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall tax provision. We have accrued additional interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $630,000 in 2007 which are included as a component of income tax expense. In addition, we increased the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits by $5.9 million in 2007 for certain net operating loss carryforwards acquired from Manugistics. The Company will file tax returns claiming these losses; however, this position may not be sustainable in the event of a tax audit.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, JDA Software Group, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subjected to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including significant jurisdictions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and France. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2002. The Internal Revenue Service has completed their examination of the 2003 and 2004 tax years without any material adjustments. We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2006 tax year. The examination phase of this audit has not yet been completed; however, we do not anticipate any material adjustments. We are also currently under examination in France. We do not anticipate material adjustments from any of these audits.

The following table sets forth significant jurisdictions that have open tax years that are subject to examination:

At December 31, 2007, we have approximately $3.6 million of federal research and development tax credit carryforwards that expire at various dates through 2027. We also have approximately $9.2 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards that expire between 2012 and 2016 and approximately $200.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards that expire in 2026.

JDA Software Group, Inc. accepted an invitation to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) beginning in 2007. The CAP program was developed by the Internal Revenue Service to allow for transparency and to remove uncertainties in tax compliance. The CAP program is offered by invitation only to those companies with both a history of immaterial audit adjustments and a high level of tax complexity and will involve a review of each quarterly tax provision. The Internal Revenue Service has completed their review of our first and second quarter 2007 tax provisions. No material adjustments have been made as a result of these reviews.

We have realized cash tax benefits of approximately $6.5 million and $2.9 million in our 2007 and 2006 federal and state income tax returns, respectively resulting from the utilization of net operating loss carryovers acquired from Manugistics which were recorded as a reduction of goodwill.

The Company conducts business operations in India which granted the local operations a tax holiday from income taxes through the tax year ending December 31, 2009. This tax holiday did not have a significant impact on our 2007 operating results. The Company’s overall effective tax rate will be negatively impacted as the tax holiday period expires.


18.	Earnings Per Share

The Company has two classes of outstanding capital stock, Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is a participating security, such that in the event a dividend is declared or paid on the common stock, the Company must simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock as if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock. According to the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, companies having participating securities are required to apply the two-class method to compute basic earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, basic earnings per share is calculated for each class of stock and participating security considering both dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Diluted earnings per share for 2007, 2006 and 2005 exclude approximately 762,000, 4.2 million and 2.1 million, respectively of vested options for the purchase of common stock that have grant prices in excess of the average market price, or which are otherwise anti-dilutive. In addition, diluted earnings per share for 2006 excludes 502,935 contingently issued shares for which all necessary

We are a leading provider of sophisticated software solutions designed specifically to address the supply and demand chain requirements of global consumer products companies, manufacturers, wholesale/distributors and retailers, and have an install base of over 5,600 customers worldwide.

Similar products and services are offered in each geographic region and local management is evaluated primarily based on total revenues and operating income. Identifiable assets are also managed by geographical region. The accounting policies of each region are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes
