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.

PART I


Item 1.	*Business*

Overview

We are a leading provider of sophisticated enterprise software solutions designed to enable planning, optimization and execution of supply chain processes for manufacturers, wholesale/distributors and retailers, as well as government and aerospace defense contractors. Additionally, we provide pricing, yield management and demand management solutions for travel, transportation, hospitality and media organizations. Our solutions enable customers to manage and optimize the coordination of supply, demand and flows of inventory throughout the supply chain to the consumer. We have invested nearly $900 million in developed and acquired technology since 1996 when we became a public company. We have licensed our software to more than 5,800 companies worldwide. We believe the quality and breadth of our product offerings promote customer loyalty and drive repeat business as 74%, 65% and 79% of our software sales were made to existing customers during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we employed over 1,700 associates and conducted business from 24 offices in three geographic regions: the Americas (includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America), Europe (Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Asia/Pacific. 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 known as 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 to optimize their visibility, planning and decision making systems. 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. The global economic crisis has created an environment where it is becoming increasingly important to optimize the number one cost for most manufacturers, wholesale/

distributors and retailers — their inventory. Further, the long-term challenges faced by the supply and demand chains are further exacerbated by rapidly fluctuating commodities costs, logistics costs and an intense focus on margin improvement in light of weak consumer confidence and declining sales.

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 that are designed to give our customers one synchronized view of product demand across their enterprise and extended supply chain. 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. This flexibility provides speed to value which is highly desirable in the current economic environment.

Our product suites include Demand Management solutions to improve the accuracy of forecasting different product sales behavior, shifts in demand from new product introduction to end of life and other data to minimize inventory carrying costs and reduce lost sales; Allocation, Replenishment & Fulfillment solutions for core planning and replenishment decision making to optimize order management and execution processes; Merchandise Planning solutions that synchronize all planning metrics, including sales, margins or turns across functional organizations to optimize strategic financial and operating planning activities; 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; Space and Category Management solutions that enable the planning and execution of category and merchandise plans designed to achieve demand-based precision merchandising; Revenue Management solutions which enable travel, transportation, hospitality, gaming and media companies to optimize their profits by managing the pricing and availability of finite time sensitive inventory; such as hotel rooms; 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; Contract Manufacturing solutions for manufacturers of aerospace and defense products including order management, repair management and financial management; and 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. 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. 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 process manufacturers, 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, 2008 and 2007, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, which are included elsewhere herein.

Business Opportunities and Growth Strategies

JDA has served the retail industry since 1985. In 2000, we expanded into the manufacturing and wholesale-distribution markets through strategic acquisitions. Our market expansion has been primarily achieved through a series of ten acquisitions over the past eleven years, the largest being the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. which we completed in July 2006.

JDA plans to further expand its markets through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. We believe organic growth can be achieved as we cross-sell acquired solutions within our existing customer base and through sales to new customers in our target markets. We have established long-term business relationships with many major customers in our target markets, and as our product offering grows, we believe we can successfully leverage those relationships to create follow-on sales opportunities. We historically realize 70% to 75% of our annual software license sales from existing customers.

The second driver of long-term growth at JDA is acquisitions. JDA has a proven track record of successfully integrating software companies and creating profitable growth for both JDA and the acquired businesses post acquisition. Our future growth plans include additional acquisitions to further expand our markets and improve our offering, revenue and profitability. Although acquisitions remain a long-term growth strategy, we will be cautious about commencing a large acquisition until the credit market stabilizes.

In today’s market, our customers are primarily focused on technologies which will enable them to reduce the costs of doing business and/or increase their sales performance. These types of offerings are typically planning or decision support solutions rather than the traditional transaction or ERP-type (enterprise resource planning) systems. The resulting focus on planning and operational improvements during the current economic crisis has created a counter-cyclical business opportunity for JDA, not only in terms of near term sales performance but also opportunities for the longer term as we expand our share of the supply chain planning market. JDA is a recognized leader in supply chain software solutions as we are able to offer companies supply chain planning and optimization solutions and services that provide a high return on investment and deliver rapid results.

Our strategy for growth and profitability in 2009 can be summarized as follows:


	•	Capitalize on the Current Market Demand for Supply Chain Planning, Optimization and Execution Solutions. We believe our leadership in the supply chain planning market, combined with the market’s current focus on these kind of high ROI solutions creates a near term growth opportunity.

	•	Expand the Services Offerings We Provide to Our Customers. We believe most companies will implement plans to further reduce their operating costs in 2009. We plan to help customers achieve this goal through compelling service offerings such as our Managed Services initiative, that enable customers to maximize the potential of our software solutions at a lower total cost of ownership.

	•	Continue Our Margin Improvement Plans Through Our Center of Excellence. In 2008 we outlined a strategy to expand our operations in India and create a comprehensive Center of Excellence (“CoE”). The CoE is designed to complement and enhance our existing on-shore business model, not replace it, and our goal is to achieve operational and cost benefits without sacrificing our capability to work face-to-face with our customers, most of which are in the Americas and Europe. The CoE encompasses additional product development activities, customer implementation services, customer support services and internal administrative services that enable us to expand our operations and achieve growth goals, while reducing our total


		operating costs. We implemented the first stage of a three-year plan for the CoE in 2008. We will continue to execute against this plan and we believe the CoE will improve our operating margins in 2009.


	•	Leverage our brands. We plan to increasingly promote our four major brands that we acquired through acquisitions — Arthur, E3, Intactix and Manugistics. In the past we have retained these brands in our products names only. In the future we will elevate these brands by emphasizing the brand names in our broad-based marketing efforts, rather than associating them with our product names.

	•	Expand Partnerships. We will continue to develop and expand the network of partners and value-added resellers (VARs) which 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 we will use to integrate and develop new solutions for our target markets. The JDA Enterprise Architecture was developed utilizing core assets acquired in the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. 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. Since adoption of the JDA Enterprise Architecture in 2007, we have continued with our strategy of integrating our solutions with this technology.

The JDA Enterprise Architecture is designed to support our advanced planning, optimization and execution 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. This architecture has demonstrated the ability to scale, enabling the largest global customers to solve their complex business challenges and accommodate the large number of stock keeping units (“SKUs”), time horizons and optimization decisions that reduce costs and improve sales. We believe the JDA Enterprise Architecture provides our customers with better visibility of key performance indicators and “one view” of demand across all supply chain planning, optimization and execution activities, thereby allowing more profitable and informed decisions in manufacturing, sourcing, supply chain planning, distribution, merchandising, logistics, promotions, replenishment, shelf optimization and in-store management. The JDA Enterprise Architecture is architected primarily using Java J2EE technology.

In 2009, our product strategy will continue to focus on innovations that provide advanced capabilities which enhance our comprehensive solution suite to enable 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 time-phased demand plan for the whole enterprise. It also represents the ability to ensure that supply chain 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, as we believe our competitors, even those with far greater financial resources at their disposal, will struggle to replicate the capabilities of the JDA Enterprise Architecture and the functionality of our solution suite in a reasonable period of time. 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 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $53.9 million, $51.2 million and $56.3 million, respectively. The decrease in product development expense from 2006 to 2007 resulted primarily from the elimination of redundant development positions in connection with our decision to standardize future product offerings on the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform.

JDA Services

We are expanding the overall value proposition and operating effectiveness of our services offerings in 2009 by combining them under a single global organization called JDA Services. The various service units will share resources, work load, effort, strategy, business development and customer interactions. The key components of JDA Services are as follows:

Maintenance Services


	•	Customer Support Solutions. We offer comprehensive customer support solutions to help customers optimize their investment in our products. Our standard maintenance services agreement entitles customers to receive unspecified new product releases (exclusive of those that introduce significant new functionality), comprehensive error diagnosis and correction, global phone, email and internet support, a customer relationship management portal that provides 24/7 self-service for managing and reporting issues, and access to an online user community and searchable solution knowledge-base. Customers have the option of choosing maintenance service programs that extend hours of coverage, incorporate support for custom configurations, or provide special attention through periods of high 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 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. Support renewal trends in our install-base remain steady and our average annualized retention rates remain strong at 94%.

Consulting Services


	•	Implementation Services. Our implementation services group consists of project managers, business consultants, systems analysts and technical personnel with extensive retail, manufacturing, and distribution industry experience. The implementation 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, customer-specific configuration of application modules 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 their software investment, which include enhanced utilization reviews, system and process health checks, upgrade assessment and planning and executive strategic planning sessions. Implementation 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 partners, consulting firms and system integrators. Implementation engagements have typically ranged from one month for certain Space & Category Management solutions to over two years for our larger Merchandise Operations Systems, Demand Management and Allocation, Replenishment & Fulfillment solutions; however, the time required to complete a project can vary significantly based on the size and supply chain complexity of the customer as well as the number and type of applications being implemented.

	•	Strategic Business Services. We offer Strategic Business Services that provide high level strategic consulting and assistance to our customers before, during and after the implementation of technology by aligning and integrating business activities, organizational structure, performance measures and systems processes to achieve maximum effectiveness.

	•	Technical Services. We provide a range of technical services that enable our customers to optimize the interactions between our software solutions and industry standard technologies including database software, operating systems, middle ware, and hardware and networks. We also offer specific performance tuning and re-engineering services to enhance throughput and response time of our solutions, and to optimize the use of networks and storage devices.

	•	Training Services. We offer a comprehensive education and training program for our customers, associates and business partners through our Education Services (formerly BMI). Education Services include multimodal process and solution training, role-based certification tracks, benchmarking surveys and services and best practice/business strategy information. Education Services 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 at our in-house classroom facilities, 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.

	•	Managed Services. A primary initiative in 2009 will be the further development of our Managed Services offering which expands our existing hosted services and will include: (i) outsourced operations for information technology, data and application management and hosting; (ii) workforce augmentation; (iii) management of process and user information; (iv) business process execution services including analysis and recommendations; and (v) business optimization services such as network design, demand classification, inventory policy and channel clustering. A significant portion of these services will be performed by the resources in our Center of Excellence. We believe our Managed Services offering will provide customers with effective alternatives, particularly during the current economic environment, to reduce their costs of operation, operate effectively with constrained resources, leverage outside domain expertise to augment their personnel and to improve the value they derive from their JDA products.

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 11 additional regional sales and support offices across the

United States and Latin America. Our international direct sales force is located in 12 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, 2008, our global sales and marketing organization consisted of 215 employees, including 66 quota carrying sales representatives.

We continue to develop a network of partners and Value-Added Resellers (VARs) who support and help us attain our goals. We use VARs extensively in our European region and we believe this model helps us to achieve a stronger presence in those geographies within this diverse region where we do not have direct operations. Our Alliance Connection program, first launched in 2007, is designed to provide increased value to our partners and to maximize their ability to generate additional revenues for themselves and JDA. Our partners enable us to operate with broader international coverage than would be possible if we undertook all of our sales activities directly. JDA has also been expanding relationships with systems integrators to assist with delivery of services on many of our larger projects involving larger Tier One customers. In 2008 we developed a JDA Certified Project Program which is designed to ensure consistent quality of projects regardless of whether JDA undertakes part or all of a customer engagement.

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 several years, we have noted an increased requirement for senior executive, board 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 customers can install independently or as a complete solution, has created increased cross-selling opportunities to existing customers.

Competition

We believe that while our markets are 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, the depth of planning and optimization provided, available deployment models that accelerate the time to value, the reputation of our products, the performance and scalability of our products, the quality of customer base, the perception of our vendor viability, our ability to implement, our retail and supply chain industry expertise, our lower total cost of ownership, technology platform and quality of customer support across multiple regions for global customers.

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 and manufacturing 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, financial size and overall 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 copyrights, 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, 2008 we had 1,718 employees: 960 were based in the Americas region, 193 were based in Europe, and 565 were based in the Asia/Pacific region, including 453 in India. Of the total, 215 were engaged in sales and marketing, 438 were in consulting services, 296 were engaged in client support services, 531 were in product development, and 238 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.

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, 2008 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. 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 increasingly requiring that their senior executives, board of directors and significant equity investors approve such purchases without the benefit of the direct input from our sales representatives. As a result, we may have less visibility into the progression of the selection and approval process throughout our sales cycles, which in turn makes it more difficult to predict the quarter in which individual sales will occur, especially in large sales opportunities. We are also at risk of having pending transactions abruptly terminated if the Boards or executive management of our customers decide to withdraw funding from IT projects as a result of the deep global economic downturn and credit crisis. If this type of behavior becomes commonplace amongst existing or potential customers then we may face a significant reduction in new software sales. We believe that an increasing number of our prospects may indicate to us that they can sign agreements prior to the end of our quarter, when in fact their approval process precludes them from being able to complete the transaction until after the end of our quarter. In addition, because of the current economic downturn, we may need to increase our use of alternate licensing models that reduce the amount of software revenue we recognize upon shipment of our software. These circumstances add to the difficulty of accurately forecasting the timing of deals. 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 if we are unable to conclude license negotiations by the end of a fiscal quarter, our quarterly operating results will be lower than anticipated.

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

Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our software and related services. Historically, events such as terrorist attacks, natural catastrophes and contagious diseases have created uncertainties in our markets and caused disruptions in our sales cycles. A regional and/or global change in the economy or financial markets, such as the current severe global economic downturn, could result in delay or cancellation of customer purchases. Current adverse conditions in credit markets, reductions in consumer confidence and spending and the fluctuating cost of fuel and commodities and their effects on the United States and global economies and markets are examples of negative changes that have delayed or terminated certain customer purchases. These adverse conditions have delayed or terminated certain of our customer deals. A further worsening or broadening, or protracted extension of these conditions would have a significant negative impact on our operating results. In addition to the potential negative impact of the economic downturn on our software sales, customers are increasingly seeking to reduce their maintenance fees or to avoid price increases. Although we have maintained our maintenance attrition rates at approximately the same levels as our historical averages, a prolonged economic downturn may increase our attrition rates, particularly if many of our larger maintenance customers cease operations. Weak and uncertain economic conditions could also impair our customers’ ability to pay for our products or services. Any of these factors could adversely impact our quarterly or annual operating results and our financial condition.

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 corresponding 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.

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 usually contain design defects, software errors or security problems that are 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 particular 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 contractual provisions in our customer agreements which 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 solutions

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, Store Systems, Demand Management, Allocation, Replenishment & 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, (iv) require more training and (v) 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 15% 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 only provide limited protection. Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer portions of our products, circumvent our security devices 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 upon their intellectual property rights, especially 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. Examples of third party software imbedded in our products include the following: the WebLogic application from BEA Systems, Inc. (acquired by Oracle) or the IBM Websphere applications for use in most of the JDA Enterprise Architecture platform solutions; the Data Integrator application from Business Object S.A (acquired by SAP), which is used in certain of the products acquired from Manugistics, Cognos (acquired by IBM) for use in JDA Reporting and JDA Analytics; the Uniface client/server application development technology from Compuware, Inc. for use in Portfolio Merchandise Management; and certain applications from Silvon Software, Inc. for use in Merchandise Performance Analysis. 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

The supply chain software market continues to consolidate and this has resulted in larger, new competitors with significantly greater financial, marketing resources and more numerous technical resources than we possess. This could create a significant competitive advantage for our competitors and negatively impact our business. It is difficult to estimate what long term effect these acquisitions will have on our competitive environment. We have encountered competitive situations with certain enterprise software vendors where, in order to encourage customers to purchase licenses of their specific applications and gain market share, we suspect they have also offered to license at no charge certain of its retail and/or supply chain software applications that compete with our solutions. If large competitors such as Oracle, SAP AG and other large private companies are willing to license their retail, supply chain and/or other applications at no charge it may result in a more difficult competitive environment for our products. 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.

We encounter competitive products from a different set of vendors in many of our primary product categories. We believe that while our markets are 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, the depth of planning and optimization provided, available deployment models, the reputation of our products, the performance and scalability of our products, the quality of customer

base, the perception of our vendor viability, our ability to implement, our retail and supply chain industry expertise, our lower total cost of ownership, technology platform and quality of customer support across multiple regions for global customers.

The competitive markets in which we compete could 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 would adversely affect our 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.

Although we have increased 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 continuously faced with competition from low cost off-shore service providers and smaller boutique consulting firms. This competition is expected to continue and while we continue to successfully command premium rates for our on-shore services, 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 service offerings and theirs is diminishing and has resulted 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 some are still relatively small compared to our consulting services business, if they grow successfully, it will be largely at our expense. We continue to attempt 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 2008 as compared to 40% and 39% in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our international business operations are subject to risks associated with international activities, including:


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

	•	Higher operating costs due to local laws or regulations;

	•	Lower consulting margins;

	•	Competing against low-cost service providers;

	•	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;

	•	General economic conditions in international markets; and

	•	Developing and deploying the skills required to service our broad set of product offerings across the markets we serve.

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 continuing the expansion of our CoE in Hyderabad, India. In order to take advantage of cost efficiencies associated with India’s lower wage scale, we expanded 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. Although we are currently on schedule with our CoE hiring and training plans, 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;

	•	Terrorist activities in the region;

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

	•	Economic, security and political conditions in India;

	•	Slower than expected acceptance of our services offerings by our customers;

	•	Inadequate facilities or communications infrastructure; and

	•	Local law or regulatory issues.

We are dependent on key personnel

While the rate of retention of our associates is high compared to industry averages, our operations are dependent upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled associates and the loss of certain key individuals to any of our competitors could adversely impact our business. In addition, 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:


	•	If we incur significant debt to finance an acquisition and our combined business does not perform as expected, we may have difficulty complying with debt covenants;

	•	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;

	•	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;

	•	The costs and complexity of integrating the internal IT infrastructure may be greater than expected and require capital investments;

	•	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.

We may have difficulty completing acquisitions due to adverse conditions in the credit markets

Until the credit markets stabilize and return to historically normal conditions, it may be difficult for us to make acquisitions using debt. If we are unable to use debt to make acquisitions, our ability to achieve significant growth may be adversely impacted.

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 consumer products supply chain

We are dependent upon and derive most of our revenue from the consumer products supply chain vertical. If a shift in spending occurs in this vertical market that results in decreased demand for the types of solutions we sell, it would be difficult to adjust our strategies and solution offerings because of our dependence on this market. If the consumer products supply and demand chain vertical experiences a decline in business, it could have a significant adverse impact on our business prospects, particularly if it is a prolonged decline. The current economic downturn is causing declines in certain areas of the consumer products supply chain. In particular, we are experiencing increased cancellations and deferrals of software projects in the retail segment of the supply chain. Although to date the negative effects of such declines on our business have largely been offset by customers purchasing our products to drive efficiencies in their supply chain, if economic conditions continue to deteriorate or the failure rates of customers in our target markets increase, we may experience an overall decline in sales that would adversely impact our business.

Risks Related To Our Stock

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

For 2009 we are only providing quarterly guidance, rather than the annual guidance we have given in the past. We made this change because in this rapidly changing, economic downturn it is difficult to forecast conditions 12 months in the future. 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 due to economic conditions or an extended decline in the market price of our stock below book value;

	•	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 Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control

Our certificate of incorporation, which authorizes the issuance of “blank check preferred” stock 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 Bravo, LLC 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*

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.

We currently lease office space in the Americas for 11 regional sales and support offices across the United States, Canada and Latin America, and for 12 other international sales and support offices located in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Japan and our Center of Excellence facilities in Hyderabad, India. 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, 2008, we have approximately 33,000 square feet of excess office space under lease that we are trying to sublet. We also have approximately 13,000 square feet of excess office space in our corporate office facility that is available for lease.

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.


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 2008.

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 2008	High		Low

1st Quarter	$	20.74	$	15.65
2nd Quarter		20.82		16.96
3rd Quarter		20.14		14.88
4th Quarter		15.18		10.07


Year Ended 2007	High		Low

1st Quarter	$	16.25	$	13.66
2nd Quarter		20.20		14.77
3rd Quarter		23.63		17.91
4th Quarter		25.51		19.11

On March 6, 2009, the closing sale price for our common stock was $9.75 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 2,000 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.

(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. To finance the acquisition, we 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 the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of the transaction.

(2)		The decrease in total assets in 2008 resulted primarily from the payment of a $20 million one-time reverse termination fee and $6.8 million of other finance and related costs associated with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies and the remaining $99.6 million of long-term borrowings. 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 these transactions.

(3)		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

Outlook and Guidance for First Quarter 2009. The following summarizes our guidance for first quarter 2009 and includes our estimated ranges for software revenues and total revenues:


	Guidance for First Quarter 2009
	Low End		High End

Software revenues	$	16.0 million	$	23.0 million
Total revenues	$	83.5 million	$	93.0 million

The Company has historically provided annual rather than quarterly guidance for software revenues, total revenues and GAAP earnings per share. The reason for doing this has always been that our business does not typically operate on a 90-day sales cycle, and if the period of time covered by a projection is shortened (i.e., quarterly vs. annual), we believe it increases the risk of error, particularly with respect to the estimated timing of software deals.

However, in light of the highly uncertain economic conditions, we are modifying our approach to providing guidance in 2009. For the foreseeable future, we will provide quarterly guidance for software revenues and total revenues using fairly wide ranges in an attempt to mitigate the risks associated with the shortened forecast window. With the uncertain economic environment as we enter 2009, we believe it is better to give quarterly guidance for each quarter as we see it and to assume the inherent risk of error rather than set potentially unnecessary pessimistic expectations for 2009. We will complement our quarterly guidance with other qualitative information such as a description of our pipeline and other important trends that have or may potentially impact our operating results.

Software sales will continue to be a leading indicator for our business. Software sales in fourth quarter 2008 were positively impacted by normal seasonal fluctuations, including a year-end desire by our customers

to spend money on software using their 2008 budget rather than risk losing the funds in 2009. This year-end “budget-flush” spending has somewhat reduced our sales pipeline as we enter first quarter 2009. This is consistent with our historical patterns, and, as a result, we believe the decrease is temporary in nature rather than a long-term trend, and that our sales pipeline will recover. We also believe we have some large sales opportunities in the first half of 2009. Software sales in fourth quarter 2008 were characterized by a strong performance in large transactions ³$1.0 million (“large transactions”), including an $11.5 million deal with an Americas-based customer, whereas we currently expect software sales in first quarter 2009 to be driven primarily by mid-size software sales opportunities in the $300,000 to $700,000 range, similar to first quarter 2008.

In evaluating our sales pipeline for the first half of 2009, we believe the weak economy may be driving the businesses in our target markets to achieve more process and efficiency improvements in their existing business assets. We believe this scenario favors our solution offerings as they are designed to provide a quick return on investment and are squarely targeted at some of the largest profit drivers in a customer’s business. Not only do our solutions enable companies to free up working capital by increasing inventory turns and reducing on-hand inventory balances, but they also increase sales by improving customer service levels, reduce labor costs and enable improved execution of synchronized and optimized business processes, both within the enterprise and between trading partners. While it is true that the economic crisis has been fatal for some of the weaker companies in our target market, we believe a much larger percentage will survive and some will even take advantage of this situation to expand their market share.

We believe our maintenance business will continue to provide highly profitable revenue streams in first quarter 2009. Volatility in the foreign currency exchange rates will continue to be the greatest risk in our efforts to maximize maintenance revenue performance. For example, maintenance services revenues in 2008 include a $2.2 million unfavorable foreign exchange rate variance compared to 2007. In addition, we experienced a $2.1 million unfavorable sequential foreign exchange rate variances in maintenance service revenues in fourth quarter 2008 compared to third quarter 2008. Both of these unfavorable foreign exchange rate variances were due primarily to the strengthening of the US Dollar against European currencies during the last three months of the year. If the currency exchange rates that existed in the fourth quarter continue or if there is additional strengthening of the US Dollar against the European currencies, we will experience another sequential decline in maintenance revenues in first quarter 2009. We significantly expanded our customer support headcount at the CoE during 2008. As our maintenance install-base grows, we believe our efforts to shift resources off-shore will enables us to maintain the same level of customer support service, while lowering our costs and preserving our maintenance services margins in 2009, despite the impact that unfavorable foreign exchange rate variances may have on maintenance revenues. Support renewal trends in our install-base remain steady, and our average annualized retention rates remain strong at 94%.

Our consulting services business continues to under-perform against their operating plan. The consulting services business has been impacted by low rate competition, fixed price engagements and by our product mix, which for several years has favored solutions that require less implementation services. We have also seen an increased interest and lower pricing from off-shore systems integrators and smaller specialist consulting firms on some of our projects, particularly in North America, which has diluted the consulting revenues that we receive from these projects. Furthermore, the average length of time between the execution of a software license and the actual commencement of the related implementation project appears to be increasing. As a result, the timing of consulting services revenues on new projects has become harder to predict, which has resulted in increased resource planning and allocation challenges.

We continue to address operational and execution issues in our consulting services business. We have revamped our market strategy and approach for these services, including the reorganization of our senior practice teams in North America in order to ensure greater continuity and effectiveness in our processes, from services proposal through to final project execution. As part of the organizational changes, we are expanding the overall value proposition and operating effectiveness of our services offerings in 2009 by combining them under a single global organization called JDA Services. The various service units will share resources, work load, effort, strategy, business development and customer interactions. We have promoted Chris Moore to the newly created position of Executive Vice President of Services. Mr. Moore will have combined responsibility for both our consulting services

and customer support groups. Mr. Moore most recently served as our Senior Vice President, Customer Support Solutions. We believe this integration creates new opportunities for efficiencies across the Company, and enables us to establish new service-based programs and further develop our Managed Services offering which expands our existing hosted services. We believe the Managed Services offering will provide customers with effective alternatives, particularly during the current economic environment, to reduce their costs of operation, operate effectively with constrained resources, leverage outside domain expertise to augment their personnel and to improve the value they derive from their JDA products. We have also introduced a new program called Premium Access that is designed to provide a cohesive and supplemental support process encompassing our product development, product management and customer support teams in order to streamline implementations of new products and major product releases that we have identified as riskier and potentially less profitable for our consulting services business.

We believe our investment in and overall shift in service resources to the CoE during the past year will have a positive impact on our consulting services business and service margins in 2009, absent any significant impact from a further decline in overall market conditions. We have recruited and trained a highly qualified team of consulting resources at the CoE that we believe has significantly expanded our overall capacity and will provide us with the potential to substantially reduce our operating costs without compromising the quality of our services (see “We Have Successfully Expanded our Operations in India and Created a Center of Excellence” section below). Our challenge and focus in 2009 is to more fully leverage the service capabilities of the CoE and increase the volume of work and implementation projects cycled through this facility. We expect a significant portion of our Managed Services offering to be performed by the resources at the CoE. We also believe the lower rates we are able to offer on services performed through the CoE will be well accepted in the market right now and enhance our competitive position.

We Have Successfully Expanded our Operations in India and Created a Center of Excellence. We acquired our first off-shore development facility in Hyderabad, India with the Manugistics acquisition in July 2006. At that time, the operation employed approximately 200 associates and was primarily focused on product development. Our major strategic initiative in 2008 was to expand our operations in India and create a comprehensive CoE that encompassed additional off-shore product development activities, customer implementation services, customer support services and internal administrative services. We incurred approximately $5.0 million of incremental costs in 2008 to implement these changes, primarily related to the addition of new associates at the Hyderabad facility. The costs of this investment were more than offset by reductions in our on-shore headcount that resulted in an overall net cost savings to the Company of approximately $1.3 million in 2008. During 2008, we added 188 FTE at the CoE including associates with necessary skill sets in product development (92 FTE), customer implementation services (43 FTE), customer support services (34 FTE) and internal administrative and other (19 FTE) and reduced our on-shore headcount by 66 FTE. Our retention rates for Indian associates have been higher than our original expectations and were approximately 90% in 2008. We believe the CoE has and will continue to fundamentally improve our competitiveness and profitability while improving our service levels, and we expect to be able to take full advantage of this investment in 2009.

We believe the CoE provides an improved business model for JDA that enhances 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 service providers that already operate low cost off-shore facilities, and against small, low-cost on-shore service providers;


	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. 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 Will Continue to Actively Look for Strategic Acquisition Opportunities in 2009. We are disappointed that our proposed acquisition of i2 Technologies was terminated in December 2008. We believe this termination was necessary due to the adverse effect of the continuing credit crisis. The ultimate credit terms available in the underwritten credit facilities would have resulted in unacceptable risks and costs to the combined company. We continue to believe that acquisitions are an integral part of our overall growth plan and that the current environment is likely to create other acquisition opportunities at reasonable prices. As a result, we are actively looking for strategic acquisition opportunities in 2009 that can deliver the kind of results that we achieved in the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc., and drive significant accretion for the Company even in these tough economic times. However, without improvement in the availability and terms of credit for acquisitions, we may not be able to successfully pursue and complete significant acquisition opportunities

Summary of 2008 Results. Software license sales in 2008 increased 26% to $92.9 million compared to $73.6 million in 2007. This increase includes a 59% increase in software license sales in the Americas region, offset in part by decreases in software license sales of 15% and 24% in the European and Asia/Pacific regions, respectively. We believe our competitive position remains strong and that we have maintained consistent competitive win rates in our markets. We continue to have significant back-selling opportunities as $68.7 million, or 74% of our software license sales in 2008 came from our install base customers compared to $47.5 million, or 65% in 2007. The increase in software license sales to install base customers in 2008 compared to 2007 was offset in part by a $2.0 million or 8% decrease in sales to new customers. Our average selling prices (“ASP”) continue to increase as we believe we have been able to successfully market the high return on investment of our solutions. Our overall ASP increased to $687,000 per deal in 2008 compared to $324,000 in 2007. Furthermore, ASPs have increased across all of our product lines with the exception of our Store Systems solutions and Space & Category Management solutions.

We believe our target market recognizes JDA as a specialized, domain-focused company with the financial strength, breadth and depth of product line, services expertise and ability to invest in new innovation that positions us to be a long-term contender in the supply chain market and to compete successfully against large horizontal enterprise application companies in head-to-head sales opportunities, particularly those involving our supply chain planning, forecasting and optimization solutions. Additionally, our leadership in demand forecasting and replenishment, planning and optimization solutions often creates opportunities for us to enhance existing ERP installations, reducing the effect of direct competition from these large companies. We closed 19 large transactions in 2008, the largest being an $11.5 million deal with an Americas-based customer, compared to 10 large transactions in 2007.

The following tables summarize software license revenue by region for 2008 and 2007:

Software License Revenues


Region	2008		2007		$Change			% Change

Americas	$	67,046	$	42,269	$	24,777			59	%
Europe		18,646		21,910		(3,264	)		(15	)%
Asia/Pacific		7,206		9,420		(2,214	)		(24	)%

Total	$	92,898	$	73,599	$	19,299			26	%

Software sales performance in the Americas region in 2008 compared to 2007, and in particular North America, continues to reflect the positive impact of the organizational changes that were made to the regional sales

management team during the past two years. These changes significantly increased our business development efforts and improved the sales force execution and sales performance in the region. We continue to have a solid pipeline of sales opportunities in the Americas that includes both mid-size software deals and large transactions. 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.

We are not satisfied with the performance of our European region, although we did see some improvement in the region’s sales performance in fourth quarter 2008. We have a sizeable sales pipeline in the region; however, we have not been able to fully capitalize on these opportunities. We are currently in the process of transitioning sales management and addressing other fundamental changes to the organizational structure to improve the performance in the European region. In addition, we continue to focus on the region’s business development activities in order to expand the quality and number of opportunities in the European sales pipeline. We also reorganized sales management in the Asia/Pacific region during 2008, and have a substantially new sales team in place as we enter 2009. We believe these changes will have a positive effect and will continue to improve our sales execution in the region.

Maintenance services revenues increased 3% to $182.8 million in 2008 compared to 2007 and represented 46% and 48% of total revenues, respectively in these periods. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate variances decreased 2008 maintenance services revenues by $2.0 million compared to 2007 primarily due to the strengthening of the US Dollar against European currencies. Excluding the impact of the favorable foreign exchange rate variance, maintenance services revenues increased 4% in 2008, compared to 2007 as maintenance revenues related to new software sales, rate increases on annual renewals and reinstatements of previously cancelled maintenance agreements exceeded decreases in recurring maintenance revenues due to attrition. Renewal trends in our install-base remain steady and our average annualized retention rates remain strong at 94%. We believe our large annual recurring maintenance revenue base provides significant stability, and enhances our ability to maintain profitable operations.

Maintenance services gross profit dollars increased $4.1 million to $137.1 million in 2008 compared to $133.0 million in 2007, and represented 75% of maintenance services revenues in both periods. The increase in margin dollars in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to the $4.6 million increase in maintenance services revenues and a $1.6 million increase in cost transfers for support personnel used to support consulting-related activities, offset in part by the costs associated with an 8% increase in average headcount in our support functions and a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance. During 2008 we reduced our on-shore customer support resources by 3 FTE and added 34 FTE in customer support-related functions at the CoE. We expect maintenance services margins to range between 74% and 76% in 2009. As of December 31, 2008, we had 296 employees in our customer support function compared to 265 at December 31, 2007.

Service revenues, which include consulting services, hosting services and training revenues, net revenues from our hardware reseller business and reimbursed expenses, decreased $7.2 million or 6% to $114.6 million in 2008 compared to $121.8 million in 2007. The decrease in 2008 compared to 2007 reflects a decrease in utilization and billable hours in the Europe and Asia/Pacific regions and lower average billing rates per hour in the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions as well as a $737,000 decrease in hosting services and our hardware reseller business, offset in part by a $518,000 increase in training services. Service revenues in 2007 also included the non-recurring 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. Our global utilization rate was 53% in 2008 compared to 55% in 2007, and our average blended global billing rates were $195 and $203 per hour, respectively in these periods.

Service gross profit dollars decreased $5.7 million to $22.1 million in 2008 compared to $27.8 million in 2007, and represented 19% and 23% of service revenues in these periods, respectively. The decrease in service margin dollars in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to the $7.2 million decrease in service revenues, a $1.6 million increase in cost transfers from the customer support group for assistance with consulting-related activities, a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a $521,000 increase in outside contractor costs, offset in part by a decrease in costs resulting from a 5% decrease in average headcount. Service gross profit dollars for 2007 also included the $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 released. Excluding the impact of the deferred revenues and costs on this project, our service margin was 22% in 2007. During 2008 we reduced our on-shore services organization by 34 FTE and added 43 FTE in service-related functions at the CoE. We currently anticipate that our service margins will remain in the low to mid 20% range in 2009. As of December 31, 2008 we had 438 employees in the services organization compared to 429 at December 31, 2007.

Product development expense increased $2.7 million or 5% to $53.9 million in 2008 compared to $51.2 million in 2007. The increase in product development expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a $2.5 million reduction in deferred costs resulting from the completion of certain on-going customer funded product development efforts in 2008 and a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance, offset in part by an $884,000 decrease in outside contractor costs. Additionally, although the average product development headcount increased 15% in 2008 compared to 2007, salaries and related benefits only increased 1% as new and replacement positions were filled with lower cost resources, including those added at the CoE. During 2008 we reduced our on-shore product development headcount by 23 FTE and added 92 FTE in product development-related functions at the CoE. As we continue with our plan to balance our on-shore and off-shore product development resources in 2009, we expect to be able to provide significant product development efforts at a lower cost. As of December 31, 2008 we had 531 people in product development compared to 462 at December 31, 2007.

Sales and marketing expense increased $3.3 million or 5% to $66.5 million in 2008 compared to $63.2 million in 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a $3.4 million increase in commissions due to the 26% increase in software sales and an $851,000 increase in marketing-related costs, offset in part by a $790,000 decrease in share-based compensation. As of December 31, 2008 we had 215 people in sales and marketing compared to 212 at December 31, 2007, including quota carrying sales associates of 66 and 68, respectively. Sales and marketing expense will continue to fluctuate quarterly with software license performance and the related impact on commission expense.

General and administrative expense increased $2.7 million or 6% to $44.2 million in 2008 compared to $41.5 million in 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a 14% increase in average headcount that was substantially offset by a $482,000 decrease in outside contractor costs for assistance with internal system initiatives, a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a $267,000 increase in legal and accounting fees, offset in part by a $647,000 decrease in share-based compensation. During 2008 we added 22 FTE in administrative positions at the CoE, primarily in information technology functions. As of December 31, 2008 we had 238 people in general and administrative functions compared to 218 at December 31, 2007.

We recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $750,000 in 2008 due to the increased number of bankruptcies in the retail sector and a provision for doubtful accounts of $2.9 million in 2007 primarily related to certain foreign receivables for which collection was doubtful.

Amortization of intangibles increased $8.5 million to $24.3 million in 2008 compared to $15.9 million in 2007 due primarily to a change in the estimated useful life of certain customer lists to reflect current trends in attrition. With this change, the quarterly amortization expense on customer lists increased approximately $2.1 million per quarter, beginning first quarter 2008 and continuing over the remaining useful life of the related customer lists which extend through June 2014. This change had a $0.16 per share impact (reduction) on basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for 2008.

We recorded restructuring charges of $8.0 million in 2008 primarily associated with our transition of certain on-shore activities to the CoE. The 2008 restructuring charges include $7.9 million for termination benefits, primarily related to a workforce reduction of 100 full-time employees (“FTE”) in product development, consulting and sales-related positions across all of our geographic regions and $119,000 for office closure and integration costs of redundant office facilities. In addition, we recorded $426,000 in net adjustments during 2008 to increase the acquisition reserves recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics. These adjustments were based on our revised estimates of the restructuring costs to exit certain activities of Manugistics and relate primarily to facility closures and employee severance and termination benefits.

Costs of Terminated Acquisition of i2 Technologies. We expensed $30.4 million in costs associated with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies in fourth quarter 2008, including a $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee, $5.1 million of legal, accounting and other acquisition-related fees that are included in operating expenses under the caption “Costs of terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies” and $5.3 million in finance costs related to loan origination and “ticking” fees on the debt financing commitments from Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC that are included in other income (expense) under the caption “Finance costs on terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies.” As of December 31, 2008, $3.6 million of these costs, primarily $1.9 million in “ticking” fees and $1.3 million in legal fees, had not been paid and are included in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Accrued Expenses and other current liabilities.”

Performance Share Awards. The Board approved a stock-based incentive program in 2008 (“2008 Performance Program”) that provided for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and certain other members of our management team if we were able to achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2008. The performance threshold goal was defined as $95 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 would be made if we achieved a minimum adjusted EBITDA performance threshold. The Company’s actual 2008 adjusted EBITDA performance, which exceeded the defined performance threshold goal of $95 million, was approved by the Board in January 2009 and qualified participants to receive approximately 106% of their target awards. In total, 222,838 performance share awards were issued in January 2009 with a grant date fair value of $3.9 million. The performance share awards vested 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over the subsequent 24-month period. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal was evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2008, and stock-based compensation recognized over requisite service periods that run from the date of board approval through January 2011. A deferred compensation charge of $3.9 million was recorded in the equity section of our balance sheet during 2008, with a related increase to additional paid-in capital, for the total grant date fair value of the awards. We recognized $2.6 million in share-based compensation expense related to these performance share awards in 2008 which 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 5, 2009, the Board approved an amendment to the 2005 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan from 1,847,000 to 3,847,000 shares of common stock. We plan to ask for shareholder approval of this amendment and the additional 2,000,000 shares at our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on May 11, 2009.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. In August 2006, the Board 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 million of adjusted EBITDA, 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 approved additional contingently issuable restricted stock units under the Integration Plan for executive officers and new participants in 2007. The Company’s actual 2007 adjusted EBITDA performance was approved by the Board in January 2008 and qualified participants for a pro-rata issuance equal to 99.25% of their target awards. In total, 502,935 restricted stock units were issued in January 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. Through December 31, 2008, approximately 27,000 of the restricted stock units granted under the Integration Plan have been subsequently forfeited.

experience it was not probable that the performance condition would be met. We recognized $1.1 million and $5.4 million in stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock unit awards in 2008 and 2007, respectively which is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the captions “Cost of maintenance services,” “Cost of consulting services,” “Product development,” “Sales and marketing,” and “General and administrative.”


	2008		2007		2006

Cost of maintenance services	$	319	$	445	$	4
Cost of consulting services		307		678		15
Product development		550		483		7
Sales and marketing		1,058		1,848		51
General and administrative		2,090		2,737		583

Total stock-based compensation	$	4,324	$	6,191	$	660

In January 2009, the Board approved a stock-based incentive program for 2009 (“2009 Performance Program”). The 2009 Performance Program provides for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and certain other members of our management team if we are able to achieve a defined adjusted EBITDA performance threshold goal in 2009. A partial pro-rata issuance of performance share awards will be made if we achieve a minimum adjusted EBITDA performance threshold. The 2009 Performance Program initially provides for up to 593,659 of targeted contingently issuable performance share awards with a fair value of approximately $7.9 million. The performance share awards, if any, will be issued after the approval of our 2009 financial results in January 2010 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 2009 and share-based compensation recognized over the requisite service period that runs from January 13, 2009 (the date of board approval) through January 2012 pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 123 (R). If we achieve the defined performance threshold goal we would expect to recognize approximately $5.3 million of the award as share-based compensation in 2009.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2008 Purchase Plan”) was adopted by the Board and approved by stockholders in May 2008. The 2008 Purchase Plan has an initial reserve of 1,500,000 shares and provides eligible employees with 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 initial six-month offering period began August 1, 2008 with the first scheduled purchase on February 1, 2009. The plan is considered compensatory under SFAS No. 123 (R) and as a result, stock-based compensation will be recognized on the last day of each six-month offering period in an amount equal to the difference between the fair value of the stock on the date of purchase and the discounted purchase price. No share-based compensation expense was recorded for the 2008 Purchase Plan during 2008. A total of 100,028 shares of common stock were purchased on February 1, 2009 at a price of $9.52 and we recorded $169,000 in share-based compensation expense.

On January 13, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a 2009 cash incentive bonus plan (“Incentive Plan”) for our executive officers. The Incentive Plan provides for $3.3 million in targeted cash bonuses if we are able to achieve a defined adjusted EBITDA performance threshold goal in 2009. Amounts are payable quarterly under the plan on the basis of the actual EBITDA achieved by the Company for the applicable quarter of 2009. A partial pro-rata cash bonus will be paid if we achieve a minimum adjusted EBITDA 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.

On March 5, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted a program to use up to $30.0 million of the Company’s cash resources to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in private transactions at prevailing market prices during the 12-month period ending March 10, 2010.

Our Financial Position is Solid and We Are Generating Positive Cash Flow from Operations. We had working capital of $32.1 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $67.9 million at December 31, 2007. The working capital balance at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes $32.7 million and $95.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. We generated $47.1 million in cash flow from operating activities in 2008 compared to $79.7 million in 2007. Net accounts receivable were $79.4 million or 67 days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at December 31, 2008 compared to $74.7 million or 68 DSO at December 31, 2007. During 2008 we repaid the remaining $99.6 million of our long-term debt, expensed $30.4 million in costs associated with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies including a $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee, had capital expenditures of $8.6 million and paid $4.2 million of direct costs related to the Manugistics acquisition.

We expect cash flow from operations to be positive in first quarter 2009. We also believe our cash and cash equivalents, net cash provided from operations and revolving credit facilities 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.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Product Revenues

Software Licenses.

Retail. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 40% in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to an increase in the number of large transactions to both new and existing customers. There were 12 large transactions in this reportable business segment in 2008 compared to six in 2007.

Manufacturing & Distribution. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 6% in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to a increase in the number and average sales price of large transactions. There were four large transactions in this reportable business segment in 2008 compared to three in 2007.

Services Industries. Software license revenues in this reportable business segment increased 23% in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to an increase in the number and average sales price of large transactions. There were three large transactions in this reportable business segment in 2008 compared to one in 2007.

Regional Results. Software license revenues in the Americas region increased 59% in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to an increase in the number of large transactions to both new and install-base customers. There

were 14 large transactions in the Americas region in 2008, including one unusually large $11.5 million license, compared to five in 2007.

Software license revenues in the European region decreased 15% in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to a decrease in the volume of small to mid-size software license sales with new customers, offset in part by an increase in follow-on sales to existing customers for new products or to expand the scope of an existing license. There were four large transactions in the European region in 2008 compared to three in 2007.

Software license revenues in the Asia/Pacific region decreased 24% in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to a decrease in the number of large transactions and follow-on sales to existing customers for new products or to expand the scope of an existing license, offset in part by an increase in the volume of small to mid-size software license sales to new customers. There was one large transaction in the Asia/Pacific region in 2008 compared to two in 2007.

Maintenance Services. Maintenance services revenues increased 3% to $182.8 million in 2008 compared to 2007 and represented 47% and 48% of total revenues, respectively in these periods. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate variances decreased 2008 maintenance services revenues by $2.0 million compared to 2007 primarily due to the strengthening of the US Dollar against European currencies. Excluding the impact of the favorable foreign exchange rate variance, maintenance services revenues increased 4% in 2008 compared to 2007 as maintenance revenues related to new software sales, rate increases on annual renewals and reinstatements of previously cancelled maintenance agreements exceeded decreases in recurring maintenance revenues due to attrition.

Service Revenues

Service revenues, which include consulting services, hosting services and training revenues, net revenues from our hardware reseller business and reimbursed expenses, decreased $7.2 million or 6% to $114.6 million in 2008 compared to $121.8 million in 2007. The decrease in 2008 compared to 2007 reflects a decrease in utilization and billable hours in the Europe and Asia/Pacific regions and lower average billing rates per hour in the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions as well as a $737,000 decrease in hosting services and our hardware reseller business, offset in part by a $518,000 increase in training services. Service revenues in 2007 also included the non-recurring 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. Fixed bid consulting services work represented 15% of total consulting services revenue in 2008 compared to 20% in 2007.

Cost of Product Revenues

Cost of Software Licenses. The increase in cost of software licenses in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to royalties on embedded 3rd party applications. A large portion of our software revenue growth is coming from products that have embedded 3^rd party applications and/or require payments of higher royalty fee obligations, particularly the infrastructure and other products we acquired from Manugistics.

Amortization of Acquired Software Technology. The decrease in amortization of acquired software technology in 2008 compared to 2007 is due to the cessation in amortization on certain acquired software technology that is now fully amortized.

Cost of Maintenance Services. The cost of maintenance services was flat in 2008 compared to 2007 as the costs associated with an 8% increase in average headcount and a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance were substantially offset by a $1.6 million increase in cost transfers for support personnel used to support certain consulting-related activities.

Cost of Service Revenues

The decrease in cost of service revenues in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a decrease in costs resulting from a 5% decrease in average headcount, offset in part by a $1.6 million increase in cost transfers from the customer support group for assistance with consulting-related activities, a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a $521,000 increase in outside contractor costs. Cost of service

revenues in 2007 also included the release of $1.4 million in deferred costs upon completion and acceptance of a fixed bid project inherited from Manugistics.

Gross Profit

The increase in total gross profit dollars in 2008 compared to 2007 is due to the $16.8 million increase in revenues and a $1.2 million decrease in cost of revenues. The decrease in cost of revenues is due primarily to the release of $1.4 million in deferred costs in 2007 upon completion and acceptance of the fixed bid project inherited from Manugistics. The gross margin percentage increased to 62% in 2008 compared to 60% in 2007 due to the higher mix of product revenues to total revenues.

Service gross profit dollars decreased $5.7 million to $22.1 million in 2008 compared to $27.8 million in 2007, and represented 19% and 23% of service revenues in these periods, respectively. The decrease in service margin dollars in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to the $7.2 million decrease in service revenues, a $1.6 million increase in cost transfers from the customer support group for assistance with consulting-related activities, a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a $521,000 increase in outside contractor costs, offset in part by a decrease in costs resulting from a 5% decrease in average headcount. Service 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.

Operating Expenses

Product Development. The increase in product development expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a $2.5 million reduction in deferred costs resulting from the completion of certain on-going customer funded product development efforts and a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance, offset in part by an $884,000 decrease in outside contractor costs. Additionally, although the average product development headcount increased 15% in 2008 compared to 2007, salaries and related benefits only increased 1% as new and replacement positions were filled with lower cost resources, including those added at the CoE.

Sales and Marketing. The increase in sales and marketing expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a $3.4 million increase in commissions due to the 26% increase in software sales and an $851,000 increase in marketing-related costs, offset in part by a $790,000 decrease in share-based compensation.

General and Administrative. The increase in general and administrative expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a 14% increase in average headcount that was substantially offset by a $482,000 decrease in outside contractor costs for assistance with internal system initiatives, a higher bonus payout due to the Company’s improved operating performance and a $267,000 increase in legal and accounting fees, offset in part by a $647,000 decrease in share-based compensation.

Provision of Doubtful Accounts. We recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $750,000 in 2008 due to the increased number of bankruptcies in the retail sector and a provision for doubtful accounts of $2.9 million in 2007 primarily related to certain foreign receivables for which collection was doubtful.

Amortization of Intangibles. The increase in amortization of intangibles in 2008 compared to 2007 is due primarily to a change in the estimated useful life of certain customer lists to reflect current trends in attrition. With this change, the quarterly amortization expense on customer lists increased approximately $2.1 million per quarter, beginning first quarter 2008 and continuing over the remaining useful life of the related customer lists which extend through June 2014. This change had a $0.16 per share impact (reduction) on basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for 2008.

Restructuring Charges and Adjustments to Acquisition Reserves. We recorded restructuring charges of $8.0 million in 2008 primarily associated with our transition of certain on-shore activities to our Center of Excellence (“CoE”) in India. The 2008 restructuring charges include $7.9 million for termination benefits, primarily related to a workforce reduction of 100 full-time employees (“FTE”) in product development, consulting and sales-related positions across all of our geographic regions and $119,000 for office closure and integration costs

of redundant office facilities. In addition, we recorded $426,000 in net adjustments during 2008 to increase the acquisition reserves recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics. These adjustments were based on our revised estimates of the restructuring costs to exit certain activities of Manugistics and relate primarily to facility closures and employee severance and termination benefits.

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 were 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 was 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

Operating income decreased $28.5 million to $20.3 million in 2008 compared to operating income of $48.8 million in 2007. The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from $25.1 million in costs associated with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies that are included in operating expenses under the caption “Costs of terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies,” an $8.4 million increase in amortization due to a change in the estimated useful life of certain customer list intangibles and a $2.2 million higher restructuring charge, together with increases in product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, offset in part by the 4% increase in total revenues and a $2.1 million lower bad debt provision. In addition, operating income in 2007 included a $4.1 million gain on the sale of an office facility in the United Kingdom that did not recur in 2008.

Operating income in our Retail reportable business segment increased to $59.3 million in 2008 compared to $48.6 million in 2007. The increase in operating income in this reportable business segment resulted primarily from a $22.3 million increase in product revenues and a $2.2 million decrease in total cost of revenues, offset in part by $7.7 million decrease in service revenues and a $6.2 million increase in operating costs for product development and sales and marketing activities.

Operating income in our Manufacturing and Distribution reportable business segment decreased slightly to $61.8 million in 2008 compared to $62.2 million in 2007. The decrease resulted primarily from a $1.9 million decrease in service revenues and a $1.1 million increase in total cost of revenues, offset in part by a $2.5 million decrease in operating costs for product development and sales and marketing activities. In addition, a 6% increase in software license revenues in 2008 compared to 2007 was substantially offset by a 2% decrease in maintenance services revenues due primarily to attrition.

Operating income in our Services Industries reportable business segment increased to $2.0 million in 2008 compared to $364,000 in 2007. The increase resulted primarily from increases in product and service revenues of $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, offset in part by a $2.3 million increase in operating costs for product development and sales and marketing activities.

The combined operating income reported in the reportable business segments excludes $102.7 million and $62.3 million of general and administrative expenses and other charges in 2008 and 2007, 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 $6.8 million and recorded $3.5 million in amortization of loan origination fees in 2008 compared to $10.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively in 2007. The decrease in interest expense is due primarily to lower outstanding borrowings on our long-term debt in 2008 compared to 2007. During 2008 we repaid the remaining $99.6 million balance of our long-term debt, including $80.5 million on October 1, 2008. In addition, we made an $899,000 payment on October 5, 2008 in consideration for early termination of a related interest rate swap which is also included in interest expense. The increase in amortization of loan origination fees is due to the accelerated repayment of our long-term debt in 2008. All loan origination fees have now been fully amortized.

Interest Income and Other, Net. We recorded interest income and other, net of $2.8 million in 2008 compared to $3.5 million in 2007. The decrease in interest income is due primarily to lower interest rates.

Income Tax Provision

A summary of the income tax provision recorded in 2008 and 2007 is as follows:


	2008			2007

Income before income taxes	$	7,458		$	40,417

Income tax (provision) benefit at federal statutory rate	$	(2,610	)	$	(14,146	)
Research and development credit		930			432
Meals, entertainment and other non-deductible expenses		(332	)		(322	)
State income taxes		(59	)		(983	)
Extra-territorial income exclusion		—			—
Change in fair value of Series B preferred stock conversion feature		—			—
Foreign tax rate differential		804			796
Other, net		(120	)		161
Changes in estimate and foreign statutory rates		(2,582	)		556
Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions		(365	)		(389	)

Income tax (provision) benefit	$	(4,334	)	$	(13,895	)

Effective tax rate		58.1	%		34.4	%

The income tax provision in 2008 and 2007 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits, but the income tax provisions do not include the excess tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during these years of $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These excess tax benefits will reduce our income tax liabilities in future periods and result in an increase to additional paid-in capital as we are able to utilize them. During 2008 we recorded an immaterial adjustment to reverse the total excess tax benefit previously recognized in 2007 and 2006 of approximately $1.6 million which reduced additional paid-in capital and non-current deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate in 2008 is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to increases in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to prior year tax positions related to uncertainty regarding our ability to utilize certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the acquisition of Manugistics and uncertainties regarding the validity of the income tax holiday in India. The effective tax rate in 2007 is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of foreign tax rate differentials.

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 shown in the tables below which 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 due primarily 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 to 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 included 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 was 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 was fully amortized in 2007.

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 included 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 was 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 included 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 was 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 was 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 was 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 was primarily for certain foreign receivables for which collection is doubtful.

Amortization of Intangibles. The increase in amortization of intangibles in 2007 compared to 2006 resulted 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 were 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 was 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

Operating income increased $41.5 million to $48.8 million in 2007 compared to operating income of $7.3 million in 2006. The increase in operating income resulted primarily from a $96.1 million or 35% increase in total revenues, which included 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 excluded $62.3 million and $50.6 million of general and administrative expenses and other charges in 2007 and 2006, respectively, that were not directly identified with a particular reportable business segment and which management did 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. Interest income and other, net was $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.

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 had 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.

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 the income tax provisions do not include the excess tax benefits realized from the employee stock options exercised during these years of $1.3 million and $330,000, respectively. These excess tax benefits were initially recorded as a reduction of our income tax liabilities and are included as an increase to additional paid-in-capital. During 2008 we recorded an immaterial adjustment to reverse the total excess tax benefit previously recognized in 2007 and 2006 of approximately $1.6 million which reduced additional paid-in capital and non-current deferred tax assets. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had working capital of $32.1 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $67.9 million at December 31, 2007. The working capital balance at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes $32.7 million and $95.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. During 2008 we generated $47.1 million in cash flow from operating activities and repaid the remaining $99.6 million of our long-term debt, expensed $30.4 million in costs associated with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies including a $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee, had capital expenditures of $8.6 million and paid $4.2 million of direct costs related to the Manugistics acquisition.

Net accounts receivable were $79.4 million or 67 days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at December 31, 2008 compared to $74.7 million or 68 days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at December 31, 2007. 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.

The following table compares year-to-year changes in the key components of our Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006:


				% Change						% Change
	2008			2008 to 2007			2007			2007 vs 2006			2006

Net cash provided from operating activities	$	47,092			(41	)%	$	79,707			418	%	$	15,402
Net cash used in investing activities		(12,704	)		(56	)%		(8,158	)		82	%		(45,839	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(95,481	)		(212	)%		(30,590	)		(269	)%		11,352
Cash and cash equivalents (end of period)		32,696			(66	)%		95,288			78	%		53,559

Operating activities provided cash of $47.1 million, $79.7 million and $15.4 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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. Cash flow from operating activities in 2008 was impacted by $30.4 million in costs paid and/or accrued in connection with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies, including a $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee, $5.3 million in finance costs and $5.1 million of legal, accounting and other acquisition-related costs. Excluding the impact of the $30.4 million in costs related to the terminated acquisition less approximately $3.6 million of which were accrued but not paid as of December 31, 2008, cash flow from operating activities decreased $5.8 million to $73.9 million in 2008 compared to 2007. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities in 2008 compared to 2007 results primarily from an $8.2 million decrease in deferred taxes, a $6.7 million decrease in deferred revenue balances due primarily to unfavorable foreign exchange rate variances, a $6.6 million net increase in accounts receivable due to the higher volume of software sales in 2008 and a $2.1 million smaller bad debt provision, offset in part a $7.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization resulting primarily from a change in the estimated useful life of certain customer lists to reflect current trends in attrition, a $3.8 million larger increase in accrued expenses due to higher commissions and bonuses resulting from the Company’s improved operating performance in 2008, a $2.3 million decrease in prepaid expenses and a $1.9 million increase in amortization of loan origination fees due to the repayment of the remaining long-term debt borrowings in 2008. In addition, cash flow from operating activities in 2007 was reduced by a $4.1 million gain on the sale of an office facility in the United Kingdom that did not recur in 2008. The increase in cash flow from operating activities 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 $12.7 million, $8.2 million and $45.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities in 2008 includes $8.6 million capital expenditures and the payment of $4.2 million of direct costs associated with the Manugistics acquisition. 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 $95.5 million and $30.6 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively and provided cash of $11.4 million in 2006. Financing activities in 2008 and 2007 include the repayment of $99.6 million and $41.5 million of long-term debt, respectively incurred or assumed in the acquisition of Manugistics and as of December 31, 2008 all long-term borrowings have been repaid. 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 Bravo in connection with the acquisition of Manugistics. We used the proceeds from the term loan borrowings and the Thoma 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 activity in all years includes proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our stock plans and the repurchase of shares tendered by employees for payment of applicable statutory withholding taxes on the issuance of restricted stock.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had the effect of reducing cash by $1.5 million in 2008 due primarily to the strengthening of the US Dollar against European currencies during the last three months of the year. Changes in currency exchange rates of our foreign operations had the effect of increasing cash by $770,000 and $1.6 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively due to the 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 2008 or 2007.

During 2008 and 2007, we repurchased 118,048 and 12,411 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 2008 for $2.1 million at prices ranging from $11.50 to $20.40 per share. The shares were repurchased in 2007 for $244,000 at prices ranging from $14.52 to $24.96 per share.

Contractual Obligations. The following summarizes our operating lease obligations as of December 31, 2008:


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

Operating lease obligations	$	52,906		$	13,324		$	23,936		$	8,283		$	7,363
Contracted sublease rentals	$	(12,888	)	$	(3,599	)	$	(7,643	)	$	(1,646	)	$	—

Operating lease obligations represent future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2008. We currently lease office space in the Americas for 11 regional sales and support offices across the United States, Canada and Latin America, and for 12 other international sales and support offices located in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Japan and our Center of Excellence facilities in Hyderabad, India. 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. 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.

During 2008 we repaid $99.6 million in borrowings under term loan agreements and as of December 31, 2008 we have no contractual long-term debt obligations. We have a $50 million unfunded revolving credit facility available through July 5, 2012.

The contractual obligations shown above exclude $7.1 million in non-current liabilities for uncertain tax positions as we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of expected cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents and net cash provided from operations, and the available revolving credit facility 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 measure progress-to-completion on arrangements involving significant services or custom development that are essential to the software’s functionality 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.

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.

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 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, by comparing 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 the goodwill allocated to our reporting units. No indications of impairment were identified in 2008, 2007 or 2006 with respect to the goodwill allocated to our Retail, Manufacturing and Distribution and Services Industries reportable business segments.

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. In first quarter 2008, we changed the estimated useful life of certain customer lists to reflect current trends in attrition. With this change, the quarterly amortization expense on customer lists increased approximately $2.1 million per quarter, beginning first quarter 2008 and continuing over the remaining useful life of the related customer lists which extend through June 2014. This change had a $0.16 per share impact (reduction) on basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for 2008.

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 6 years to 15 years.

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 an impairment loss of $200,000 was recorded in 2006 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.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position, 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to allow an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, adjusted for the entity-specific factors described in SFAS No. 142. In the absence of that experience, an entity shall consider the assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension (consistent with the highest and best use of the asset by market participants). FSP No. 142-3 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 will have a material impact on our financial statements.


	•	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.

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.

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007 and recorded $3.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of that date. With the adoption of FIN 48, a charge of approximately $1.0 million was made to beginning retained earnings for uncertain tax positions and 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.

As of December 31, 2008 approximately $10.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which relates to uncertain tax positions associated with the acquisition of Manugistics, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R), future recognition of these uncertain tax positions will be treated as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction of goodwill under SFAS 141. It is reasonably possible that approximately $700,000 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized 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. We have treated all subsequent accruals of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, including accruals made during 2008 and 2007 of $600,000 and $630,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there are approximately $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively of interest and penalties accruals related to uncertain tax positions which are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Liability for uncertain tax positions.” 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.


	•	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.

We have a 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”) 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. Stock options are no longer used for share-based compensation. 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 are in such form as the Compensation Committee shall from time to time establish and the awards 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 under the 2005 Incentive Plan 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.

Performance Share Awards. The Board approved a stock-based incentive program in 2008 (“2008 Performance Program”) that provided for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and certain other members of our management team if we were able to achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2008. The performance threshold goal was 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 would be made if we achieved a minimum adjusted EBITDA performance threshold. The Company’s actual 2008 adjusted EBITDA performance, which exceeded the defined performance threshold goal of $95 million, was approved by the Board in January 2009 and qualified participants to receive approximately 106% of their target awards. In total, 222,838 performance share awards were issued in January 2009 with a grant date fair value of $3.9 million. The performance share awards vested 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over the subsequent 24-month period. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal was evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2008 and stock-based compensation recognized over requisite service periods that run from the date of board approval through January 2011. A deferred compensation charge of $3.9 million was recorded in the equity section of our balance sheet during 2008, with a related increase to additional paid-in capital, for the total grant date fair value of the awards. We recognized $2.6 million in share-based compensation expense related to these performance share awards in 2008 which 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.”

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. In August 2006, the Board 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 million of adjusted EBITDA, 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 approved additional contingently issuable restricted stock units under the Integration Plan for executive officers and new participants in 2007. The Company’s actual 2007 adjusted EBITDA performance was approved by the Board in January 2008 and qualified participants for a pro-rata issuance equal to 99.25% of their target awards. In total, 502,935 restricted stock units were issued in January 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. Through December 31, 2008, 27,000 of the restricted stock units granted under the Integration Plan have been subsequently forfeited.

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. Stock-based compensation is being recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods that run from the date of the various board approvals through January 2010. No share-based compensation expense was recognized in 2006 related to the Integration Plan as management determined based on the Company’s historical experience it was not probable that the performance condition would be met. We recognized $1.1 million and $5.4 million in stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock unit awards in 2008 and 2007, respectively which is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the captions “Cost of maintenance services,” “Cost of consulting services,” “Product development,” “Sales and marketing,” and “General and administrative.”

Stock Option Plans. We maintained various stock option plans through May 2005 (“Prior Plans”). The Prior Plans provided for the issuance of shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under incentive and non-statutory stock option grants. Stock option grants under the Prior Plans were made 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 grants have been made under the Prior Plans since 2004 and with the adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan we terminated all Prior Plans except for those provisions necessary to administer the outstanding options, all of which are fully vested. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 2.4 million vested stock options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $6.44 to $27.50 per share.


	•	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“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 that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. 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 were exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term debt which provided for quarterly interest payments at 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. The interest rate swap was structured with decreasing notional amounts to match our expected pay down of the debt. The interest rate swap agreement was designated a cash flow hedge derivative. The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge derivative was evaluated on a quarterly basis with changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap deferred and recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” We repaid the remaining balance of our long-term debt on October 1, 2008 and terminated the interest rate swap on

October 5, 2008. We made an $899,000 payment on October 5, 2008 in consideration for early termination of the interest rate swap. This payment is included in the consolidated statements of income under the caption “Interest expense and amortization of loan fees.”

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 March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires expanded qualitative, quantitative and credit-risk disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, but does not change the scope or the accounting requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 also amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to clarify that derivative instruments are subject to concentration-of-credit-risk disclosures. SFAS No. 161 is effective beginning the first fiscal year and interim period that begins after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on the disclosures in our interim and fiscal year financial statements.

We adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”) effective January 1, 2008, subject to the guidance in FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 which delayed the effective date of certain provisions to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our valuation methods, financial position, results of operations, cash flows or fair value measurement disclosures.

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 year that begins after November 15, 2007. We did not expand the use of fair value measurements in our financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2008 and do not currently intend to expand the use of fair value measurements in future periods.

(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).


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 2008 as compared to 40% and 39% in 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the identifiable net assets of our foreign operations represented 28% of consolidated net assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007. 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 an unrealized foreign currency exchange loss of $6.1 million in 2008 compared to unrealized foreign currency gains of $3.3 million and $2.0 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The foreign currency exchange loss in 2008 results primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, particularly against the British Pound and the Euro. 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, 2008 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, 2008 rates would result in a currency translation loss of $338,000 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.

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, 2008. Based on the results of these analyses, a 10% adverse change in all foreign currency rates from the December 31, 2008 rates would result in a net forward contract liability of $3.2 million that would increase the underlying currency transaction loss on our net foreign assets. We recorded a foreign currency exchange contract gains of $483,000 and $147,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively and a foreign currency exchange loss of $316,000 in 2006.

Interest rates. We have historically invested a portion of our excess cash balances in money market accounts and we had approximately $5.4 million invested in money market accounts at December 31, 2007. We closed the money market accounts in third quarter 2008 and transferred the remaining balances to our operating account in anticipation of the pending acquisition of i2 Technologies. There were no unrealized losses recorded on the money market accounts at December 31, 2007 as the quoted market values (Level 1 fair value hierarchy input) for the accounts equaled the book carrying value. At December 31, 2008, our excess cash balances are included in our operating account. 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 investments is reflected in our financial statements under the caption “Interest income and other, net.” Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.


Item 8.	*Financial Statements and Supplementary Data*

Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, 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, 2008 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, 2008. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 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, 2008 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, 2008, 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, 2008, 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, 2008 of the Company and our report dated March 13, 2009 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.

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, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. 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, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the Company changes 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, 2008, 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 13, 2009 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 enterprise software solutions designed to enable planning, optimization and execution of supply chain processes for manufacturers, wholesale/distributors and retailers, as well as government and aerospace defense contractors. Additionally, we provide pricing, yield management and demand management solutions for travel, transportation, hospitality and media organizations. Our solutions enable customers to manage and optimize the coordination of supply, demand and flows of inventory throughout the supply chain to the consumer. We have invested nearly $900 million in developed and acquired technology since 1996 when we became a public company. We have licensed our software to more than 5,800 companies worldwide. We believe the quality and breadth of our product offerings promote customer loyalty and drive repeat business as 74%, 65% and 79% of our sales were made to existing customers during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we employed over 1,700 associates and conducted business from 24 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.

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 at December 31, 2008 consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2007 consist of cash held in bank demand deposits and money market accounts. There were no unrealized losses recorded on the money market accounts at December 31, 2007 as the quoted market values for the accounts (Level 1 fair value hierarchy input) equaled the book carrying values.

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

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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, 2008. SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting on all business combinations; (ii) provides guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill arising from business combinations and (iii) 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). 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, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. 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

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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).

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, by comparing 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 the 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 2008, 2007 or 2006 with respect to the goodwill allocated to our Retail, Manufacturing and Distribution and Services Industries reportable business segments (see Note 5).

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of customer lists, acquired software technology and trademarks acquired in business combinations (see Notes 2 and 5).

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 6 years to 15 years.

the Income Approach” and an impairment loss of $200,000 was recorded in 2006 due to a lower software revenue forecast and a flattening of the projected revenue growth curve. The impairment loss is reported as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Loss on impairment of trademark” and was allocated to the Retail ($155,000) and Manufacturing and Distribution ($45,000) 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 2008 or 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:


	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.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

and SOP 81-1. We measure progress-to-completion on arrangements involving significant services or custom development that are essential to the software’s functionality 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.

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.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

Restructuring Charges. We account for all exit or disposal activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS No. 146”). Under SFAS No. 146, the liability for costs 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. We recorded restructuring charges of $8.0 million, $6.2 million and $6.2 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively (see Note 8).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“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 that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. 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.

At December 31, 2008, we had forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $33.5 million and an associated net forward contract liability of $14,000. 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. 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 recorded a foreign currency exchange contract gains of $483,000 and $147,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively and a foreign currency exchange loss of $316,000 in 2006.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

$899,000 payment on October 5, 2008 in consideration for early termination of the interest rate swap. This payment is included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Interest expense and amortization of loan fees.”

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 (see Note 13). 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.

Fair Value Measurements. We adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”) effective January 1, 2008, subject to the guidance in FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 which delayed the effective date of certain provisions to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our valuation methods, financial position, results of operations, cash flows or fair value measurement disclosures.

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

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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, 2008, we had approximately 2.4 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.

Compensation expense for awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards 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 16).

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.

As of December 31, 2008 approximately $10.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which relates to uncertain tax positions associated with the acquisition of Manugistics, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 141(R), future recognition of these uncertain tax positions will be treated as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction of goodwill under SFAS 141. It is reasonably possible that approximately $700,000 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized within the next 12 months.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

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. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires companies having participating securities 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 2008 and 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 (see Note 17).


2.	Acquisitions

Terminated Acquisition of i2 Technologies, Inc.

On August 10, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire all of the outstanding common and preferred equity of i2 Technologies, Inc. (“i2”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of i2’s common stock would have been converted into the right to receive $14.86 per share in cash and each issued and outstanding share of i2’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would have been converted into the right to receive $1,095.3679 per share in cash plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, upon consummation of the merger the vesting of each outstanding option and restricted stock award for common stock of i2 would have accelerated in full and the holders of such equity awards would have been entitled to receive $14.86 per share less the exercise price per share of such equity awards, if any. We planned to use debt financing, net of issuance costs, together with the companies’ combined cash balances at closing, to fund the cash obligations under the Merger Agreement and related transaction expenses, to repay i2’s convertible debt and to provide cash for our ongoing working capital and general corporate needs. Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we received commitments from Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC to provide up to $450 million of debt financing to complete the i2 acquisition, including $425 million in term loans and a $25 million revolving credit facility (the “Proposed Credit Facility”).

On November 4, 2008, we notified i2 that due to the adverse effect of the continuing credit crisis, credit terms available under the Proposed Credit Facility would result in unacceptable risks and costs to the combined company. Accordingly, we requested that i2 adjourn its shareholder meeting scheduled for November 6, 2008 to approved the Merger Agreement in order to allow the two companies to negotiate a reduced purchase price and thereby reduce the amount of debt necessary to close the transaction. i2 rejected our request and proceeded with its shareholder meeting, during which the i2 stockholders approved the Merger. We believed that if the shareholder meeting was held and the current transaction received a favorable vote, it would not be possible to then renegotiate an appropriate purchase price reduction and obtain shareholder approval of a revised transaction prior to the termination of the Proposed Credit Facility on November 26, 2008.

On November 6, 2008 we sent a written proposal to i2 to amend the common share consideration in the Merger Agreement to an amount significantly below $14.86 per share. The i2 board of directors reviewed our proposal and concluded that it would not be in the best interest of i2’s stockholders to pursue it.

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

On November 26, 2008, our Commitment Letter with Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC to provide financing for the Merger expired by its terms.

On December 3, 2008, i2 sent a notice to JDA terminating the Merger Agreement and on December 8, 2008 we paid i2 a $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee.

We expensed $30.4 million in costs associated with the termination acquisition of i2 in fourth quarter 2008, including the $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee and $5.1 million of legal, accounting and other acquisition-related fees that are included in operating expenses under the caption “Costs of terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies” and $5.3 million in finance costs related to loan origination and “ticking” fees on the debt financing commitments from Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC that are included in other income (expense) under the caption “Finance costs on terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies.” As of December 31, 2008, $3.6 million of these costs, primarily $1.9 million in “ticking” fees and $1.3 million in legal fees, had not been paid and are included in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Accrued Expenses and other current liabilities.”

Manugistics Group, Inc.

We completed the acquisition of Manugistics Group, Inc. (“Manugistics”) on July 5, 2006 for a total cost of approximately $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 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 $74.8 million in goodwill on the Manugistics acquisition which was allocated to our reporting units as follows: $44.9 million to Retail, $26.2 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, 2008, the estimated weighted average amortization period for all intangible assets acquired in this transaction that are subject to amortization is 8.2 years.

We 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 an undiscounted cash flow analysis on the estimated remaining 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 reduced 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 increased to $4.9 million, or approximately $2.1 million per quarter, over the remaining useful life which extends through June 2014.

The following unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 assumes the Manugistics acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2006. The pro-forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been completed as of the beginning of 2006, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.

	$	389,696	$	(107,207	)	$	388,982	$	(77,627	)

Goodwill. We recorded a net increase to goodwill of $714,000 in 2008 due to adjustments of tax NOLs, accruals for uncertain tax positions and certain temporary timing differences recorded in the acquisition of Manugistics (see Note 16). We recorded a reduction to goodwill of $11.4 million 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 7), to record a $2.9 million accrual for uncertain tax position liabilities (see Note 16) and to reduce the deferred revenue balances. No indications of impairment were identified in 2008 or 2007 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 2009. As of December 31, 2008, goodwill has been allocated to our reporting units as follows: $87.1 million to Retail, $44.5 million to Manufacturing and Distribution, and $3.7 million to Services Industries.

Amortization expense for 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $29.6 million, $22.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively, and is shown as separate line items in the consolidated statements of operations within cost of revenues and operating expenses. We expect amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows:

7.	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. All adjustments made subsequent to June 30, 2007, including the $426,000 increase recorded in 2008, have been 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 $13.2 million at December 31, 2008, of which $4.4 million is included in current liabilities under the caption “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and $8.8 million is included in non-current liabilities under the caption “Accrued exit and disposal obligations.”

A summary of the charges and adjustments recorded against the reserves is as follows:

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. Adjustments made to the initial reserve for facility closures are due primarily to our revised estimates 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. Adjustments made to the initial reserve for employee severance and termination benefits are due primarily to our revised estimate of settlement costs on certain foreign employees. As of December 31, 2008, the remaining balance in the reserve is related to certain foreign employees.


8.	Restructuring Charges

2008 Restructuring Charges

We recorded restructuring charges of $8.0 million in 2008 primarily associated with our transition of certain on-shore activities to our Center of Excellence (“CoE”) in India. The 2008 restructuring charges include $7.9 million for termination benefits, primarily related to a workforce reduction of 100 full-time employees (“FTE”) in product development, consulting and sales-related positions across all of our geographic regions and $119,000 for office closure and integration costs of redundant office facilities. As of December 31, 2008, approximately $5.7 million of the costs associated with these restructuring charges have been paid and the remaining balance of $2.2 million is included in the caption “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.” We

expect all of the remaining termination benefits and office closure costs to be paid in 2009. A summary of the 2008 restructuring and office closure charges is as follows:

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 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, 2008, all costs associated with the 2007 restructuring charges have been paid with the exception of a $138,000 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 2009. A summary of the 2007 restructuring and office closure charges is as follows:

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. Subsequent immaterial adjustments were made to these reserves in 2008 and 2007 based on our revised estimates to complete the restructuring activities and are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Restructuring charges and adjustments to acquisition-related reserves.” As of December 31, 2008, all costs associated with the 2006 restructuring charges have been paid with the exception of a $43,000 reserve for termination benefits, primarily for foreign employees, and $20,000 for office closures which are included in the caption “Accrued

9.	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. 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 Bravo, LLC in the form of Series B Preferred Stock (see Note 13), 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. The remaining $1.5 million of assumed Convertible Subordinated Notes were retired in 2007. Additionally, we utilized the revolving credit facilities to replace approximately $9.6 million of Manugistics’ standby letters of credit.

Term Loans. The term loans were scheduled to be repaid in 27 quarterly installments of $437,500 beginning in September 2006, with the remaining balance due at maturity in July 2013. In addition to the scheduled maturities, the Credit Agreement also required 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. As of December 31, 2008, we have repaid all of our term loans with payments of $99.6 million in 2008, including a final payment of $80.5 million on October 1, 2009, $40.0 million in 2007 and $35.4 million in 2006. The “Current portion of long-term debt” caption on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 includes the scheduled quarterly installments for 2008 plus an additional mandatory payment of approximately $5.3 million that was due and payable on March 30, 2008 based on our excess cash flow in 2007.

Interest on the term loans was paid quarterly during 2008, 2007 and 2006 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 structured the interest rate swap with decreasing notional amounts to match the expected pay down of the debt. The interest rate swap, which was designated a cash flow hedge derivative (see Note 1), was terminated on October 5, 2008 in connection with the repayment of the remaining balance of the term loans.

Loan origination and other administrative fees were amortized on a 3-year straight-line schedule based upon an accelerated repayment of the term loan obligations with the remaining balance fully amortized in fourth quarter 2008 in connection with the repayment of the remaining term loans. Amortization expense related to the loan origination and other administrative fees was $3.7 million, $1.8 million and $1.1 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively and is included under the caption “Interest expense and amortization of loan fees.”

Revolving Credit Facilities. The revolving credit facilities are still in effect and 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 +

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

2.25%. There were no adjustments made to the interest rate on the revolving credit facilities in 2008 or 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. There is no Leverage Ratio for 2008 as we have no consolidated indebtedness and the Leverage Ratio for 2007 was .5 to 1.0. 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.


10.	Deferred Revenue

11.	Lease Commitments

We currently lease office space in the Americas for 11 regional sales and support offices across the United States, Canada and Latin America, and for 12 other international sales and support offices located in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Japan and our Center of Excellence facility in Hyderabad, India. 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, 2008, we have approximately 33,000 square feet of excess office space under lease that we are trying to sublet. 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.

Net rental expense under operating leases in 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $11.0 million, $13.1 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The following summarizes future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2008.

We have entered into sublease agreements on excess space in certain of our leased facilities that will provide sublease rentals of approximately $3.6 million, $3.8 million, $3.9 million and $1.6 million in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. We currently have no sublease agreements in place that provide for sublease rentals beyond 2012.


12.	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.


13.	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 Bravo, LLC (“Thoma Bravo” and formerly known as Thoma Cressey Bravo Equity Partners) for $50 million in cash (the “Equity Financing”). Thoma 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 Bravo, to serve as 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

JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 17).


14.	Stockholders’ Equity

Treasury Stock Repurchases

In July 2007, the term loan credit agreement (see Note 9) 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 2008 or 2007.

2005 Performance Incentive Plan

We have a 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”) 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. Stock options are no longer used for share-based compensation. 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 under the 2005 Incentive Plan 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

Performance Share Awards. The Board approved a stock-based incentive program in 2008 (“2008 Performance Program”) that provided for the issuance of contingently issuable performance share awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan to executive officers and certain other members of our management team if we were able to achieve a defined performance threshold goal in 2008. The performance threshold goal was defined as $95 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 would be made if we achieved a minimum adjusted EBITDA performance threshold. The Company’s actual 2008 adjusted EBITDA performance, which exceeded the defined performance threshold goal of $95 million, was approved by the Board in January 2009 and qualified participants to receive approximately 106% of their target awards. In total, 222,838 performance share awards were issued in January 2009 with a grant date fair value of $3.9 million. The performance share awards vested 50% upon the date of issuance with the remaining 50% vesting ratably over the subsequent 24-month period. The Company’s performance against the defined performance threshold goal was evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout 2008 and stock-based compensation recognized over requisite service periods that run from the date of board approval through January 2011. A deferred compensation charge of $3.9 million was recorded in the equity section of our balance sheet during 2008, with a related increase to additional paid-in capital, for the total grant date fair value of the awards. We recognized $2.6 million in share-based compensation expense related to these performance share awards in 2008 which 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.”

99.25% of their target awards. In total, 502,935 restricted stock units were issued in January 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. Through December 31, 2008, approximately 27,000 of the restricted stock units granted under the Integration Plan have been subsequently forfeited.

Other restricted stock unit awards of 8,000 and 9,000 were made in 2008 and 2007 under incentive packages offered to existing employees with grant date fair values of $101,000 and $185,000, respectively. There were no restricted stock unit awards in 2006. Restricted stock awards of 10,000, 30,981 and 77,214 were made in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively with grant date fair values of $199,000, $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 $4.3 million, $6.2 million and $656,000 related to 2005 Incentive Plan awards in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively and as of December 31, 2008 we have included $2.9 million of deferred compensation in stockholders’ equity. This compensation is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. The total fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units vested during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $6.4 million, $783,000 and $949,000, respectively. The following table summarizes activity under the 2005 Incentive Plan:

Stock Option Plans

We maintained various stock option plans through May 2005 (“Prior Plans”). The Prior Plans provided for the issuance of shares of common stock to employees, consultants and directors under incentive and non-statutory stock option grants. Stock option grants under the Prior Plans were made 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 grants have been made under the Prior Plans since 2004 and with the adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan we terminated all Prior Plans except for those provisions necessary to administer the outstanding options, all of which are fully vested.

The following summarizes the combined stock option activity during the three-year period ended December 31, 2008:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2008 Purchase Plan”) was adopted by the Board and approved by stockholders in May 2008. The 2008 Purchase Plan has an initial reserve of 1,500,000 shares and provides eligible employees with 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 initial six-month offering period began August 1, 2008 with the first scheduled purchase on February 1, 2009. The plan is considered compensatory under SFAS No. 123 (R) and as a result, stock-based compensation will be recognized on the last day of each six-month offering period in an amount equal to the difference between the fair value of the stock on the date of purchase and the discounted purchase price. No share-based compensation expense was recorded for the 2008 Purchase Plan during 2008. A total of 100,028 shares of common stock were purchased on February 1, 2009 at a price of $9.52 and we recorded $169,000 in share-based compensation expense.

The following provides tabular disclosure as of December 31, 2008 of the number of securities to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or vesting of restricted stock units, the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, and the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans, aggregated into two categories — plans that have been approved by stockholders and plans that have not:

15.	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 Service. We provide discretionary matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan on an annual basis. Our matching contributions were 25% in 2008, 2007 and 2006 and vest 100% after 2 years of service. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $2.1 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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.

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, 2008 are as follows:


	2008			2007			2006

Current taxes:
Federal and state	$	(4,099	)	$	(356	)	$	448
Foreign		268			(3,548	)		(2,261	)

Total current taxes		(3,831	)		(3,904	)		(1,813	)
Deferred taxes		(503	)		(9,991	)		946

Income tax (provision) benefit	$	(4,334	)	$	(13,895	)	$	(867	)

The effective tax rate used to record the income tax (provision) benefit in 2008, 2007 and 2006 takes into account the source of taxable income, domestically by state and internationally by country, and available income tax credits. The effective tax rates do not include excess tax benefits from the employee stock options exercised during 2008, 2007 and 2006 of $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $330,000, respectively. These excess tax benefits will reduce our income tax liabilities in future periods and result in an increase to additional paid-in capital as we are able to utilize them. During 2008 we recorded an immaterial adjustment to reverse the total excess tax benefit previously recognized in 2007 and 2006 of approximately $1.6 million which reduced additional paid-in capital and non-current deferred tax assets.

The income tax (provision) benefit recorded in the three years ended December 31, 2008 differed from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes as a result of the following:

Income before income taxes for 2008, 2007 and 2006 includes $6.3 million, $8.2 million and $5.6 million of foreign pretax income, respectively. The $2.6 million increase in the changes in estimate and foreign statutory rates is due primarily to additional FIN 48 liabilities, settlement of IRS examinations and the true-up of previously estimated deferred tax assets.

The valuation allowances at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are for state research and development tax credit carryforwards 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.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and recorded $3.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of that date. With the adoption of FIN 48, a charge of approximately $1.0 million was made to beginning retained earnings for uncertain tax positions and 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. A reconciliation of the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows:

Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year	$	9,436		$	3,487
Increase (decrease) related to prior year tax positions		5,006			5,949
Increase related to current year tax positions		539			—
Settlements		(3,260	)		—

Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year	$	11,721		$	9,436

As of December 31, 2008 approximately $10.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which relates to uncertain tax positions associated with the acquisition of Manugistics, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. Deferred tax assets have been reduced by $6.4 million related to FIN 48 liabilities. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R), future recognition of these uncertain tax positions will be treated as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction of goodwill under SFAS 141. It is reasonably possible that approximately $700,000 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized 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. We have treated all subsequent accruals of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, including accruals made during 2008 and 2007 of $600,000 and $630,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there are approximately $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively of interest and penalties accruals related to uncertain tax positions which are reflected in the consolidated balance under the caption “Liability for uncertain tax positions.” 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 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. The increases in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to prior year tax positions during 2008 and 2007 relate to uncertainty regarding our ability to utilize certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the acquisition of Manugistics and uncertainties regarding the validity of the income tax holiday in India. Our business operations in India have been granted a tax holiday from income taxes through the tax year ending March 31, 2010. This tax holiday did not have a significant impact on our 2008 or 2007 operating results; however, our overall effective tax rate will be negatively impacted as the tax holiday period expires. The decrease in liability for unrecognized tax benefits in 2008 results primarily from the settlement of an Internal Revenue Service audit of our 2006 tax year and the settlement of a tax audit in Germany in the amount of approximately $800,000. We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2007 and 2008 tax years. The examination phase of these audits has not yet been completed; however, we do not anticipate any material adjustments. The following table sets forth significant jurisdictions that have open tax years that are subject to examination:

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 tax provision for 2007 and the first three quarters of 2008. No material adjustments have been made as a result of these reviews.

At December 31, 2008, we have approximately $5.5 million and $7.8 million of federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards, respectively, that expire at various dates through 2028. We also have approximately $10.5 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards that expire between 2012 and 2018. Pursuant to SFAS No 123(R), we have not recognized $3.5 million of deferred tax assets related to excess tax benefits on share-based compensation that we have not yet been able to realize. We have approximately $187.1 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to annual limitations prescribed in section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, that expire beginning in 2026. We also have $67.4 million and $14 million of state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards that expire beginning in 2012, and 2022, respectively.


17.	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 2008, 2007 and 2006 exclude approximately 775,000, 762,000 and 4.2 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

18.	Segment Information

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 nearly 5,800 customers worldwide. Our solutions enable customers to manage and optimize the coordination of supply, demand and flows of inventory throughout the demand chain to the consumer. We conduct business in three geographic regions that have separate management teams and reporting structures: the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), Europe (Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Asia/Pacific. 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

Identifiable assets for the Americas include $379.7 million, $446.3 million and $443.1 million in the United States as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in identifiable assets at December 31, 2008 results primarily from the utilization of cash balances to repay the remaining $99.6 million of our long-term debt and the costs associated with the terminated acquisition of i2 Technologies, including a $20 million non-refundable reverse termination fee (see Notes 2 and 9).

No customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during any of the three years ended December 31, 2008.

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 process manufacturers, 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.
