SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

QAD is a global provider of enterprise software applications, and related services and support. QAD's enterprise resource planning ("ERP") product suite is QAD Enterprise Applications, which is also known as MFG/PRO. The QAD Enterprise Applications suite provides a set of capabilities designed to support core business operations and enable most common business processes. The Company is principally focused on addressing the needs of global manufacturing companies. Its solutions are configured to address the requirements of the following specific manufacturing industries: automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences.

On December 14, 2010, QAD shareholders approved a Recapitalization plan (the "Recapitalization") pursuant to which the Company (i) established two classes of common stock, consisting of a new class of common stock with one-twentieth (1/20th) of a vote per share, designated as Class A common stock $0.001 par value per share (the "Class A Common Stock") and a new class of common stock with one vote per share, designated as Class B common stock $0.001 par value per share (the "Class B Common Stock"); (ii) reclassified each issued and outstanding whole share of the Company's existing $0.001 par value per share common stock (the "Existing Stock") as 0.1 share of Class B Common Stock; and (iii) issued a dividend of four shares of Class A Common Stock for each whole share of Class B Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the foregoing reclassification. The reclassification of Existing Stock into Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, together, reflects the effect of a two-to-one reverse stock split. Fractional shares were paid in cash and were not material.

Beginning in the quarter ended April 30, 2011, the Company began presenting subscription revenue as a separate caption within revenue. Subscription revenue includes hosting arrangements and software as a service arrangements. In addition, the Company began presenting costs of professional services as a separate caption within costs of revenue. Prior period data has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income, gross profit or total revenue.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, include amounts based on informed estimates and judgments of management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

The Company considers certain accounting policies related to revenue, accounts receivable allowances for doubtful accounts, capitalized software development costs, goodwill and intangible assets, business combinations, valuation of deferred tax assets and tax contingency reserves, and accounting for stock-based compensation to be critical policies due to the significance of these items to its operating results and the estimation processes and management judgment involved in each.

REVENUE

The Company primarily offers its software using two models. The traditional model involves the sale or license of software on a perpetual basis to customers who take possession of the software and install and maintain the software on their own equipment; the Company sometimes refers to this as the "On Premise licensing model". More recently, the Company provides access to its software on a hosted basis as a service and customers generally do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software; the Company sometimes refers to this as a "SaaS model". The Company sells a majority of its software through its On Premise licensing model and recognizes revenue associated with these offerings in accordance with the accounting guidance contained in ASC 985-605, Software Revenue. Additionally, delivery of software and services under the SaaS model is typically over a contractual term of 12 to 36 months and the Company recognizes revenue associated with these offerings, which it calls subscription revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, in accordance with the accounting guidance contained in ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. Whether sales are made via an On Premise model or a SaaS model, the arrangement typically consists of multiple elements, including revenue from one or more of the following elements: license of software products, support services, hosting, consulting, development, training, or other professional services.

Software Revenue Recognition (On-Premise Model)

The majority of the Company's software is sold or licensed in multiple-element arrangements that include support services and often consulting services or other elements. For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue is presented net of sales, use and value-added taxes collected from its customers.

The Company's typical payment terms vary by region. Occasionally, payment terms of up to one year may be granted for software license fees to customers with an established history of collections without concessions. Should the Company grant payment terms greater than one year or terms that are not in accordance with established history for similar arrangements, revenue would be recognized as payments become due and payable assuming all other criteria for software revenue recognition have been met.

Provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, the Company recognizes license revenue on delivery using the residual method when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE") exists for all of the undelivered elements (for example, support services, consulting, or other services) in the arrangement. The Company allocates revenue to each undelivered element based on VSOE, which is the price charged when that element is sold separately or, for elements not yet sold separately, the price established by the Company's management if it is probable that the price will not change before the element is sold separately. The Company allocates revenue to undelivered support services based on rates charged to renew the support services annually after an initial period. The Company allocates revenue to undelivered consulting services based on time and materials rates of stand-alone services engagements by role and by country. The Company reviews VSOE at least annually. If the Company were to be unable to establish or maintain VSOE for one or more undelivered elements within a multiple-element software arrangement, it could adversely impact revenues, results of operations and financial position because the Company may have to defer all or a portion of the revenue or recognize revenue ratably from multiple-element software arrangements.

Multiple-element software arrangements for which VSOE does not exist for all undelivered elements typically occur when the Company introduces a new product or product bundles for which it has not established VSOE for support services or consulting or other services under its VSOE policy. In these instances, revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the longer of the support services (maintenance period) or consulting services engagement, assuming there are no specified future deliverables. In the instances in which it has been determined that revenue on these bundled arrangements will be recognized ratably due to lack of VSOE, at the time of recognition, the Company allocates revenue from these bundled arrangement fees to all of the non-license revenue categories based on VSOE of similar support services or consulting services. The remaining arrangement fees, if any, are then allocated to software license fee revenues. The associated costs primarily consist of payroll and related costs to perform both the consulting services and provide support services and royalty expense related to the license and maintenance revenue. These costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of maintenance, subscription and other revenue, cost of professional services and cost of license fees.

Revenue from support services and product updates, referred to as maintenance revenue, is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which in most instances is one year. Software license updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period on a when-and-if available basis. Product support includes Internet access to technical content, as well as Internet and telephone access to technical support personnel. The Company's customers generally purchase both product support and license updates when they acquire new software licenses. In addition, a majority of customers renew their support services contracts annually.

Revenue from consulting services, which we call professional services in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, are typically comprised of implementation, development, training or other consulting services. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis and can include services ranging from software installation to data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in integrated environments. Consulting engagements can range anywhere from one day to several months and are based strictly on the customer's requirements and complexities and are independent of the functionality of the Company's software. The Company's software, as delivered, can generally be used by the customer for the customer's purpose upon installation. Further, implementation and integration services provided are generally not essential to the functionality of the software, as delivered, and do not result in any material changes to the underlying software code. On occasion, the Company enters into fixed fee arrangements in which customer payments are tied to achievement of specific milestones. In fixed fee arrangements, revenue is recognized as services are performed as measured by costs incurred to date, as compared to total estimated costs to be incurred to complete the work. In milestone achievement arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue as the respective milestones are achieved.

The Company occasionally resells third party systems as part of an end-to-end solution requested by its customers. Hardware revenue is recognized on a gross basis in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations and when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is considered reasonably assured. The Company considers delivery to occur when the product is shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.

Although infrequent, when an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting transactions, the software license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. Arrangements that do not qualify for separate accounting of the software license fee and consulting services typically occur when the Company is requested to customize software or when the Company views the installation of its software as high risk in the customer's environment. This requires the Company to make estimates about the total cost to complete the project and the stage of completion. The assumptions, estimates, and uncertainties inherent in determining the stage of completion affect the timing and amounts of revenues and expenses reported. Changes in estimates of progress toward completion and of contract revenues and contract costs are accounted for using the cumulative catch up approach. In certain arrangements, the Company does not have a sufficient basis to estimate the costs of providing support services. As a result, revenue is typically recognized on a percent completion basis up to the amount of costs incurred (zero margin). Once the consulting services are complete and support services are the only undelivered item, the remaining revenue is recognized evenly over the remaining support period. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure the progress of completion or to estimate the total contract revenues and costs, revenue is recognized when the project is complete and, if applicable, final acceptance is received from the customer. The Company allocates these bundled arrangement fees to support services and consulting services revenues based on VSOE. The remaining arrangement fees are then allocated to software license fee revenues. The associated costs primarily consist of payroll and related costs to perform the consulting and support services and royalty expense. These costs are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of maintenance, subscription and other revenue, cost of professional services and cost of license fees.

The Company executes arrangements through indirect sales channels via sales agents and distributors in which the indirect sales channels are authorized to market its software products to end users. In arrangements with sales agents, revenue is recognized on a sell-through basis once an order is received from the end user, collectability from the end user is probable, a signed license agreement from the end user has been received by the Company, delivery has been made to the end user and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Sales agents are compensated on a commission basis. Distributor arrangements are those in which the resellers are authorized to market and distribute the Company's software products to end users in specified territories and the distributor bears the risk of collection from the end user customer. The Company recognizes revenue from transactions with distributors when the distributor submits a written purchase commitment, collectability from the distributor is probable, a signed license agreement is received from the distributor and delivery has occurred to the distributor, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Revenue from distributor transactions is recorded on a net basis (the amount actually received by the Company from the distributor). The Company does not offer rights of return, product rotation or price protection to any of its distributors.

Subscription Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes the following fees in subscription revenue from the SaaS model: i) subscription fees from customers accessing our On Demand and our other subscription offerings, ii) providing consulting services such as set up, process mapping, configuration, database conversion and migration, and iii) support fees on hosted products. The Company's subscription arrangements do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the subscribed software at any time.

The Company commences revenue recognition when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the service is being provided to the customer, the collection of the fees is reasonably assured and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the initial subscription period committed to by the customer commencing when the customer's environment has been migrated to the Company's hosted environment. The initial subscription period is typically 12 to 36 months. The Company's subscription services are non-cancelable, though customers typically have the right to terminate their contracts if the Company materially fails to perform. The Company generally invoices its customers in advance in quarterly installments and typical payment terms provide that customers pay the Company within 30 days of invoice.

Other consulting services are typically sold on a time-and-materials basis and consist of fees from consultation services such as configuration of features, implementing at various customer sites, testing and training. These services are considered to have stand-alone value to the customer because the Company has sold consulting services separately and there are several third-party vendors that routinely provide similar professional services to the Company's customers on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, consulting services are a separate unit of accounting and the associated services revenue is recognized as the services are performed and earned.

The Company may enter into multiple-element arrangements that may include a combination of our subscription offering and other consulting services. Prior to February 1, 2011, the deliverables in multiple element arrangements were accounted for separately if the delivered items had stand-alone value and VSOE was available for the undelivered items. If the multiple-element arrangement could not be accounted for separately, the total arrangement fee was recognized ratably over the initial subscription period.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements ("ASU 2009-13"), which amended the previous multiple-deliverable arrangements accounting guidance. Pursuant to the updated guidance, VSOE of the deliverables to be delivered is no longer required in order to account for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement separately. Instead, arrangement consideration is allocated to deliverables based on their relative selling price.

The Company adopted the accounting guidance in ASU 2009-13 for applicable arrangements entered into after February 1, 2011 (the beginning of the Company's fiscal year). As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, the Company allocates revenue to each element in an arrangement based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its VSOE, if available, Third Party Evidence ("TPE"), if VSOE is not available, or Estimated Selling Price ("ESP"), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The determination for ESP is made through consultation with and approval by management taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As the Company's go-to-market strategies evolve, there may be modifications of pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in both VSOE and ESP.

For multiple-element arrangements that may include a combination of our subscription offerings and other consulting services, the total arrangement fee is allocated to each element based on the VSOE / ESP value of each element. After allocation, the revenue associated with the subscription offering and other consulting services are recognized as described above.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ALLOWANCES

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The collectability of accounts receivable is reviewed each period by analyzing balances based on age. Specific allowances are recorded for any balances that the Company determines may not be fully collectible due to inability of the customers to pay. The Company also provides a general reserve based on historical data including analysis of write-offs and other known factors. Provisions to the allowance for bad debts are included as bad debt expense in "General and Administrative" expense. The determination to write-off specific accounts receivable balances is made based on likelihood of collection and past due status. Past due status is based on invoice date and terms specific to each customer.

The Company does not generally provide a contractual right of return; however, in the course of business sales returns and allowances may occur. A provision is recorded against revenue for estimated sales returns and allowances in the same period the related revenues are recorded or when current information indicates additional amounts are required. These estimates are based on historical experience, specifically identified customers and other known factors.

The accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts is comprised of both the allowance for bad debts and the allowance for sales returns.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred in connection with the localization and translation of its products once technological feasibility has been achieved based on a working model. A working model is defined as an operative version of the computer software product that is completed in the same software language as the product to be ultimately marketed, performs all the major functions planned for the product and is ready for initial customer testing (usually identified as beta testing). In addition, the Company capitalizes software purchased from third parties or through business combinations as acquired software technology, if the related software under development has reached technological feasibility.

The amortization of capitalized software costs is the greater of the straight-line basis over three years, the expected useful life, or computed using a ratio of current revenue for a product compared to the estimated total of current and future revenues for that product. The Company periodically compares the unamortized capitalized software costs to the estimated net realizable value of the associated product. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized software costs of a particular software product exceeds the estimated net realizable value of that asset would be reported as a charge to the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of purchased businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis and whenever circumstances suggest that goodwill may be impaired. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company performs a two-step impairment test. Under the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company is required to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired and the second step is not performed. If the results of the first step of the impairment test indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit does not exceed its carrying amount, then the second step of the goodwill impairment test is required. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The impairment loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.

Management evaluates the Company as a single reporting unit for business and operating purposes as almost all of the Company's revenue streams are generated by the same underlying technology whether acquired, purchased or developed. In addition, the majority of QAD's costs are, by their nature, shared costs that are not specifically identifiable to a geography or product line but relate to almost all products. As a result, there is a high degree of interdependency among the Company's revenues and cash flows for levels below the consolidated entity and identifiable cash flows for a reporting unit separate from the consolidated entity are not meaningful. Therefore, the Company's impairment test considered the consolidated entity as a single reporting unit.

Judgments about the recoverability of purchased finite lived intangible assets are made whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. Each fiscal year the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of purchased intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Recoverability of finite lived intangible assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate.

Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of intangible assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends and internal factors such as changes in the Company's business strategy or internal forecasts.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets and deferred revenue obligations assumed.

These assumptions and estimates are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to discount rates, future expected cash flows from software license sales, subscriptions, support agreements, consulting contracts, acquired developed technologies and acquired trade names and trademarks as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade names and trademarks will continue to be used in our combined product portfolio.

In connection with the purchase price allocations, the Company estimates the fair value of the deferred revenue obligations assumed. The estimated fair value of the obligations is determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach determines fair value by estimating the costs related to fulfilling the obligations plus a normal profit margin. The estimated costs to fulfill the obligations are based on the historical costs related to fulfilling the obligations.

The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration issued in business combinations using various valuation approaches, as well as significant unobservable inputs, reflecting our assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value these liabilities. The fair values of liability-classified contingent consideration are remeasured at each reporting period with any changes in the fair value recorded as income or expense. The potential undiscounted amount of all future cash payments that the Company could be required to make under the contingent consideration agreements is between $0.5 million and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2013.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. In assessing whether there is a need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that it will realize tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets. In making this determination, the Company considers future taxable income and tax planning strategies that are both prudent and feasible. For deferred tax assets that cannot be recognized under the more-likely-than-not standard, the Company has established a valuation allowance. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are reflected in the financial statements in the period of enactment. No provision is made for taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries because they are considered to be reinvested indefinitely in such operations.

The Company records a liability for taxes to address potential exposures involving uncertain tax positions that could be challenged by taxing authorities, even though the Company believes that the positions taken are appropriate. The tax reserves are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as events occur that affect the Company's potential liability for additional taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in various foreign jurisdictions, and in the ordinary course of business there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that do not meet the more-likely-than-not standard the entire balance is reserved.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for share-based payments ("equity awards") to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), which requires that share-based payments (to the extent they are compensatory) be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income based on the fair values of the equity awards as measured at the grant date. The fair value of an equity award is recognized as stock-based compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the equity award. Determining the fair value of equity awards at the grant date requires judgment.

Fair Value of SARs

The fair value of stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SARs") is determined on the grant date of the award using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. One of the inputs to the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model is the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. Judgment is required in determining the remaining inputs to the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. These inputs include the expected life, volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend rate. The following describes the Company's policies with respect to determining these valuation inputs:

Expected Life

The expected life valuation input includes a computation that is based on historical vested option and SAR exercises and post-vest expiration patterns and an estimate of the expected life for options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding. Furthermore, based on the Company's historical pattern of option and SAR exercises and post-vest expiration patterns the Company determined that there are two discernable populations which include the Company's directors and officers ("D&O") and all other QAD employees. The estimate of the expected life for options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding is determined as the midpoint of a range as follows: the low end of the range assumes the fully vested and outstanding options and SARs are exercised or expire unexercised on the evaluation date and the high end of the range assumes that these options and SARs are exercised or expire unexercised upon contractual term.

Volatility

The volatility valuation input is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock, which the Company believes is representative of the expected volatility over the expected life of SARs.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option or SAR.

Dividend Rate

The dividend rate is based on the Company's historical dividend payments per share.

Fair Value of RSUs

The fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") is determined on the grant date of the award as the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of estimated dividends foregone during the vesting period. Judgment is required in determining the present value of estimated dividends foregone during the vesting period. The Company estimates the dividends for purposes of this calculation based on the Company's historical dividend payments per share.

While the Company recognizes as stock-based compensation expense the entire amount of the fair value of a vested equity award once it has vested, during the periods in which the equity awards are vesting, the Company is required to estimate equity awards that are expected to cancel prior to vesting ("forfeitures") and reduce the stock-based compensation expense recognized in a given period for the effects of estimated forfeitures over the expense recognition period ("forfeiture rate"). To determine the forfeiture rate, the Company examines the historical pattern of forfeitures which it believes is indicative of future forfeitures in an effort to determine if there were any discernable forfeiture patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company identified two employee populations that have different historical forfeiture rates. One population includes D&O and the other population includes all other QAD employees. The Company evaluates the forfeiture rate annually or more frequently when there have been any significant changes in forfeiture activity.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QAD Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned and all significant balances and transactions among the entities have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

CASH AND EQUIVALENTS

Cash and equivalents consist of cash and short-term marketable securities with maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's cash equivalents consisted of money market mutual funds.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and significant improvements to property and equipment are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is generally expensed via the straight-line method over the useful life of three years for computer equipment and software, five years for furniture and office equipment, 10 years for building improvements, and 39 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of five years.

Certain costs associated with software developed for internal use, including services and payroll costs for employees for time devoted to the software projects, are capitalized once the project has reached the application development stage and are included in property and equipment classified as software. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the software, beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, maintenance, training and research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

ADVERTISING EXPENSES

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $0.4 million for each of the fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011.

COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE

On December 14, 2010, each existing share of common stock was reclassified as 0.1 share Class B common stock and each whole share thereof was issued a dividend of four shares of Class A common stock. The Recapitalization had the effect of a two-to-one reverse stock split, where, for example, the holder of 10 shares of existing stock received in exchange one share of Class B common stock and four shares of Class A common stock. Net income per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed using the two-class method. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to cash or stock dividends equal to 120% of the amount of such dividend payable with respect to a share of Class B Common Stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Years Ended January 31,

Basic net income per Class B common share	$	0.37		$	0.58	$	0.15
Diluted net income per Class B common share	$	0.35		$	0.56	$	0.14

Potential common shares consist of the shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and the exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs"). The Company's unvested RSUs, unexercised stock options and unexercised SARs are not considered participating securities as they do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents prior to release or exercise.

The following table sets forth the number of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive:

	Years Ended January 31,
	2013		2012		2011
	(in thousands)
Class A		2,322		2,151		1,898
Class B		370		473		475

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are generally determined using the country's local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income (loss), which is included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and remeasurement adjustments of monetary assets and liabilities not held in an entity's functional currency are included in earnings. Foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $1.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are included in "Other (income) expense, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company's line of credit and note payable both bear a variable market interest rate, subject to certain minimum interest rates. Therefore, the carrying amounts outstanding under the line of credit and note payable reasonably approximate fair value.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base, and their dispersion across many different industries and locations throughout the world. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total revenue in any of the last three fiscal years. In addition, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable at January 31, 2013 or January 31, 2012.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes changes in the balances of items that are reported directly as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The components of comprehensive income are net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company does not provide for income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments since it does not provide for taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The changes in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses a derivative financial instrument to manage interest rate risk related to its mortgage. Specifically, the Company has one instrument intended to fix its floating mortgage rate at 4.31%. The instrument is accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires that every derivative be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value as of the reporting date. ASC 815 also requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting and documentation criteria are met.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2012, the FASB issued new guidance on the impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets (ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment), effective for calendar years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The objective of this standard is to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments in this standard will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Only if an entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired will it be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," or "ASU 2013-02" which requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
