Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012.

We made no significant changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we completed the divestitures of the ten product lines which were not considered core product lines of our business: Actional, Artix, DataXtend, FuseSource, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion, Shadow and Sonic. The divestitures were part of the new strategic plan (the "Plan") we announced during fiscal year 2012. After the announcement of the Plan, we began reporting our results in two reportable segments: Core and non-Core. Since the non-Core segment ceased to exist during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, after the closing of all divestitures, we now operate as one reportable segment. In addition, the revenues and direct expenses of the product lines divested are included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income, including prior period amounts which have been revised to reflect the presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08), to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after performing the qualitative assessment an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for us in fiscal year 2013. We adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 for our annual impairment test, which occurs in the first quarter of our fiscal year. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12), which defers the effective date of only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. We adopted ASU 2011-05 in our first quarter of fiscal year 2013, and applied it retrospectively. We elected to report comprehensive income as a separate, but consecutive statement to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have any impact on our 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 Accumulative Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which replaces the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. ASU 2013-02 is effective for us in our second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 is not anticipated to have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

For each of the auction rate securities (ARS), we evaluated the risks related to the structure, collateral and liquidity of the investment, and forecasted the probability of issuer default, auction failure and a successful auction at par or a redemption at par for each future auction period. The weighted average cash flow for each period was then discounted back to present value for each security. Based on this methodology, we determined that the fair value of our ARS investments is $26.4 million and $26.3 million at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively. The temporary impairment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss to reduce the value of our available-for-sale ARS investments was $4.2 million and $4.4 million at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively.

We will not be able to access the funds associated with our ARS investments until a future auction for these ARS is successful, we sell the securities in a secondary market, or they are redeemed by the issuer. As such, these remaining investments currently lack short-term liquidity and are therefore classified as long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012.


9


Based on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $321.4 million, expected operating cash flows and the availability of funds under our revolving credit facility, we do not anticipate that the lack of liquidity associated with our ARS will adversely affect our ability to conduct business and believe we have the ability to hold the affected securities throughout the currently estimated recovery period. Therefore, the impairment of these securities is considered only temporary in nature. If the credit rating of either the security issuer or the third-party insurer underlying the investments deteriorates significantly, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of the ARS through an other-than-temporary impairment charge to earnings.

The unrealized losses associated with state and municipal bond obligations and corporate bonds are attributable to changes in interest rates. The unrealized losses associated with ARS are discussed above. Management does not believe any unrealized losses represent other-than-temporary impairments based on our evaluation of available evidence as of February 28, 2013.

Note 3: Derivative Instruments

We use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on accounts receivable and collections denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries. All forward contracts are recorded at fair value in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and expire within 90 days. In the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, realized and unrealized losses of $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These losses were substantially offset by realized and unrealized gains on the offsetting positions.

When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases

11


where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.

The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 3 assets, which consists of our ARS, is primarily an income approach, where the expected weighted average future cash flows are discounted back to present value for each asset. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our ARS are the probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity, the probability of principal return prior to maturity, the probability of default, the liquidity risk premium and the recovery rate in default. Generally, interrelationships are such that a change in the assumptions used for the probability of principal return prior to maturity is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in one or more the following assumptions: the probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity, the probability of default and the liquidity risk premium. The recovery rate in default is somewhat independent and based upon the ARS' specific underlying assets and published recovery rate studies.

One issuer of our ARS is currently in default, but the underlying bond insurer is making interest payments on the issuers' behalf. In this situation, we used a market approach, where the significant unobservable inputs are the market credit default swap spread and the credit rating of the insurer.

The following table provides additional quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in our Level 3 valuations as of February 28, 2013:

The disposal group included the assets and liabilities held for sale of the Artix, Orbacus and Orbix product lines, which had a fair value of $16.5 million as of November 30, 2012. The carrying value at November 30, 2012, of $25.1 million, was written down to fair value, less costs to sell, resulting in a loss of $8.6 million. The loss was recorded in income (loss) from discontinued operations in fiscal year 2012. The assets and liabilities held for sale were divested in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 (Note 6).

We evaluate all of our assets held for sale using undiscounted cash flow models or other valuation models, such as comparative transactions and market multiples, to determine their fair values. However, a market approach was more heavily used to value the assets held for sale related to the divestitures of our non-core product lines. As bid and transaction values became apparent as we moved through the marketing and divestiture process, the fair values of the assets held for sale was established. The impairment loss recorded for the Artix, Orbacus and Orbix product lines was primarily based on our expectations of a sale price as compared to our estimation of the net assets to be sold at closing.

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 are due to foreign currency translations. The goodwill divested in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 (Note 6) was included in assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2012.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we completed our annual testing for impairment of goodwill and, based on those tests, concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 15, 2012. Through the date and time our condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, no trigger events have occurred that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill exists.

Note 6: Divestitures

Under the Plan, we announced we would divest all product lines which are not considered core product lines of our business: Actional, Artix, DataXtend, FuseSource, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion, Shadow and Sonic. The FuseSource and Shadow product lines were divested in fiscal year 2012. The remaining product lines were divested in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Revenues and direct expenses of the divested product lines have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The fiscal year 2012 results include revenues and direct expenses of all divested product lines, since we earned revenues and incurred direct expenses for all or part of fiscal year 2012 for each of the divested product lines. The fiscal year 2013 results include the revenues and direct expenses of the divested product lines which had not occurred prior to the start of fiscal year 2013.

Artix, Orbacus and Orbix

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to divest our Artix, Orbacus and Orbix product lines to a subsidiary of Micro Focus International plc (Micro Focus). The divestiture of these product lines was part of the Plan. The sale closed in February 2013 for total consideration of $15.0 million.

In February 2013, upon the closing of the sale of Artix, Orbacus and Orbix, we amended the definitive purchase and sale agreement with Micro Focus to provide an additional indemnification obligation with respect to a specified vendor. The fair value of the indemnification obligation on the date the sale closed and the carrying value at February 28, 2013 is $1.0 million, and is included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our maximum indemnification obligation with respect to this matter is $11.3 million. The term of the indemnification is indefinite; however, we expect the matter to be substantially resolved within the next twelve months.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we recorded an $8.6 million impairment loss on the Artix, Orbacus and Orbix assets held for sale based on our expectations of a sales price as compared to our estimation of the net assets to be sold at closing. The impairment loss was recorded as a reserve against the assets held for sale as of November 30, 2012. The gain recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was the result of differences in our estimation of net assets to be sold at closing versus the actual value of the net assets sold at closing.

Actional, DataXtend, ObjectStore, Savvion and Sonic

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to divest our Actional, DataXtend, Savvion and Sonic product lines to the investment arm of Trilogy Enterprises. In December 2012, the agreement was amended to include the sale of our ObjectStore product line. The divestiture of these product lines was part of the Plan. The sale closed in December 2012 for total consideration of $60.5 million.

Note 7: Line of Credit

Our credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150.0 million, with a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million and swing line loans up to $20.0 million. The credit facility also permits us to increase the revolving line of credit by up to an additional $75.0 million subject to receiving further commitments from lenders and certain other conditions. As of February 28, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $0.5 million of letters of credit.

Note 8: Common Stock Repurchases

We repurchased and retired 4,783,000 shares of our common stock for $106.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The shares were repurchased as part of our Board of Directors authorized return of capital to shareholders in the form of share repurchases through fiscal year 2013 of $350.0 million. No shares were repurchased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using either the current market price of the stock or the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 or 5 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards.

The following table provides the classification of stock-based compensation as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the employment of one of our executives terminated. As part of a pre-existing separation agreement, the executive was entitled to accelerated vesting of certain stock-based awards. Due to the separation and accelerated vesting, we recognized additional stock-based compensation of $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Note 10: Restructuring Charges

2012 Restructuring

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved, committed to and initiated certain operational restructuring initiatives to reduce annual costs, including the simplification of our organizational structure and the consolidation of facilities. In addition, as part of the Plan, we have divested the product lines not considered core to our business. Our restructuring actions include both our cost reduction efforts and qualifying costs associated with our divestitures.

Restructuring expenses primarily relate to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture incentives, but excluding stock-based compensation. Facilities costs include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. Other costs include costs to terminate automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction, asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as part of cost reduction strategies, costs for unused software licenses as part of the workforce reduction and other costs directly associated with the restructuring actions taken.

16



As part of the 2012 restructuring, we incurred expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 totaling $1.4 million, of which $1.0 million represents excess facilities and other costs and $0.4 million represents employee severances and related benefits. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income, with the exception of $0.4 million included in income (loss) from discontinued operations. Cumulative expenses of the 2012 restructuring through the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 are $20.4 million, of which $3.6 million represents excess facilities and other costs and $16.8 million represents employee severances and related benefits.

We expect to incur additional costs through the remainder of fiscal year 2013. The total cost of the 2012 restructuring is expected to be approximately $5.1 million for excess facilities and other costs and approximately $19.7 million for employee severance and related benefits. The estimated costs not yet recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income relate to excess facilities costs, net of sublease assumptions, and employee severance-related costs as we transition away from our divested product lines (Note 6).

A summary of activity for the 2012 restructuring action during the three months ended February 28, 2013, is as follows (in thousands):

Cash disbursements under the 2012 restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2016. The short-term portion of the restructuring reserve of $2.3 million is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $0.3 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2013.

2010 Restructuring

During the first and third quarters of fiscal year 2010, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of certain management and organizational changes and acquisitions. We reduced our global workforce primarily within the development, sales and administrative organizations. This workforce reduction was conducted across all geographies and also resulted in a consolidation of offices in certain locations. The total costs of the 2010 restructurings primarily relate to employee severance and excess facilities expenses. The excess facilities and other costs represent facilities costs for unused space and termination costs for automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction.

As part of the 2010 restructuring activities, we recorded cumulative expenses totaling $43.3 million, of which $8.0 million represents excess facilities and other costs and $35.3 million represents employee severances and related benefits. There were no charges to restructuring expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 related to the 2010 activities and we do not expect to incur additional expenses related to these activities.

As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, we had a remaining reserve related to severance payments of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which is included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in the reserve relates to cash disbursements and we expect to pay the remaining benefits over a period of time ending in June 2013.

Note 11: Income Taxes

Our income tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 2012 reflects our estimates of the effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. The estimates are reevaluated each quarter based on our estimated tax expense for the full fiscal year.

The research and development credit was retroactively reinstated in January 2013. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 we recorded a tax benefit of $0.4 million related to qualifying research and development activities for the period from January 2012 to November 2012.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently finalizing the examination of our U.S. Federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. As a result, we have effectively settled certain unrecognized tax benefits which had been reserved in previous periods, reducing our unrecognized tax benefits liability by $1.2 million.

Our Federal income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2009, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods. State taxing authorities are currently examining our income tax returns for years through fiscal year 2010. Our state income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2005, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods.

Tax authorities for certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining returns affecting unrecognized tax benefits, none of which are material to our condensed consolidated balance sheets, cash flows or statements of income. With some exceptions, we are generally no longer subject to tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2007.

Note 12: Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an interim basis (in thousands, expect per share data):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. This Form 10-Q, and other information provided by us or statements made by our directors, officers or employees from time to time, may contain “forward-looking” statements and information, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual future results may differ materially. Statements indicating that we “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “are planning” or “plan to” are forward-looking, as are other statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other events that have not yet occurred. There are various factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the following: the receipt and shipment of new orders; the timely release and market acceptance of new products and/or enhancements to our existing products; the growth rates of certain market segments; the positioning of our products in those market segments; the customer demand and acceptance of any new product initiative; variations in the demand for professional services and technical support; pricing pressures and the competitive environment in the software industry; the continued uncertainty in the U.S. and international economies, which could result in fewer sales of our products and may otherwise harm our business; business and consumer use of the Internet; our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions; our ability to realize the expected benefits and anticipated synergies from acquired businesses; our ability to penetrate international markets and manage our international operations; our ability to execute on the strategic and operational initiatives we are currently undertaking, including any resulting disruption to our business, employees, customers and the manner in which we finance our operations; our ability to absorb allocated costs, primarily general and administrative, into our operations subsequent to the divestitures occurring; and those factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that we make.

Use of Constant Currency

Revenue from our international operations has historically represented more than half of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, if the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries weaken, our consolidated results stated in U.S. dollars are negatively impacted.

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period to period comparisons, we believe the presentation of revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis enhances the understanding of our revenue results and evaluation of our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Revised Prior Period Amounts

Our financial results for prior periods have been revised, in accordance with GAAP, to reflect certain changes to the business. Prior period amounts have been revised for the impact of discontinued operations due to the sales of our product lines not considered core to our business. Refer to Note 6 of Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for an additional description of this item.

Overview

We are a global software company that simplifies and enables the development, deployment and management of business applications on-premise or on any Cloud, on any platform and on any device with minimal IT complexity and low total cost of ownership. In April 2012, we announced a new strategic plan (the "Plan") in which we intend to become a leading provider of next-generation, context-aware application development and deployment platform in the Cloud for the Application Platform-as-a-Service (aPaas) market by investing in our OpenEdge, DataDirect and Decision Analytics product lines and integrating them into a single, cohesive offering.

The Plan is being executed in two phases. In the first phase, we are investing in our OpenEdge, DataDirect and Decision Analytics product lines and making them more Cloud-ready. We have also divested the ten product lines which are not

considered core to our business: Actional, Artix, DataXtend, FuseSource, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion, Shadow and Sonic. In the second phase of the Plan, by unifying the product capabilities of our remaining product lines, we will refine and enhance our next generation, feature-rich application development and deployment solution targeting the new market category of aPaaS.

Our financial results for fiscal year 2012 were adversely impacted by factors related to the planning, announcement and execution of the Plan, including the undertaking of large restructuring efforts and the marketing for divestiture and actual sale of the ten product lines sold. These factors contributed to a very uncertain environment for our company, partners, customers and employees. In particular, since the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, customer purchasing decisions were delayed, which caused deal slippage at a greater rate than usual. This was caused both by uncertainty surrounding the Plan and generally deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, primarily in Europe.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we added new functionalities to our existing products in furtherance of the Plan. However, we are still in the early stages of reinvesting in our products and sustainable increases in revenue may not be foreseeable in the near term. Overall, our investments to improve our product lines are a continued effort and require time to impact performance. Until these investments are realized, our operating margins will be adversely impacted.

In addition, the new business focus and new strategy has required us to restructure our organization and the way we go to market, how we think about and implement product roadmaps and how we operate and report our financial results, all of which caused additional disruption. Our operating performance is also being adversely impacted by temporarily higher expense levels as we transition away from the product lines we divested. We expect to be impacted by higher expense levels until all appropriate steps are taken under our Plan to improve our operating margin.

In fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into definitive purchase and sale agreements to divest the product lines which are not considered core to our business. All divestitures were completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $130.0 million. As a result of the divestitures of all the product lines not considered core to our business, we ceased reporting the results of those operations as a separate reportable segment. Beginning in fiscal year 2013, we now operate as one reportable segment.

In the second half of fiscal year 2012, we also executed on cost reductions as part of the Plan, including the reduction of 11% of our workforce. Our Board of Directors also authorized us to repurchase $350.0 million of our common stock through November 2013. In October 2012, under the authorization, we announced the adoption of a 10b5-1 plan to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock through June 30, 2013, or earlier, and have repurchased 9.3 million shares of our common stock for $194.7 million through February 28, 2013. As of March 28, 2013, we have repurchased 10.3 million shares of our common stock for $219.5 million under the 10b5-1 plan.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from international operations, which are primarily conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have significantly impacted our results of operations and may impact our future results of operations.

We believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under our revolving credit line will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements, including our plans to repurchase shares of our common stock, through at least the next twelve months.

Total revenue increased $2.1 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue would have increased by 3% if exchange rates had been constant in fiscal year 2013 as compared to exchange rates in fiscal year 2012. The increase was primarily a result of increases in license and maintenance revenue, driven by sales in the North America and EMEA regions.

Changes in prices from fiscal year 2012 to 2013 did not have a significant impact on our revenue. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted our reported revenues.

Maintenance revenue increased as a result of new maintenance contracts from increased license revenue and maintenance renewal rates which remained consistent with our historical rates.

Total revenue generated in North America increased $3.6 million, or 10%, as compared to the same quarter last year. Total revenue generated in markets outside North America decreased $1.6 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same quarter last year. Total revenue generated in markets outside North America represented 54% and 57% of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 2012, respectively. If exchange rates had remained constant in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the exchange rates in effect in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, total revenue generated in markets outside North America would have remained 54% of total revenue.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, EMEA was helped by stronger local currencies and Latin America and Asia Pacific were hurt by weaker local currencies. Asia Pacific was also negatively impacted as we transitioned sales leadership in that region.

Cost of software licenses consists primarily of costs of royalties, electronic software distribution, duplication and packaging. Cost of software licenses increased $0.7 million, or 49%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same quarter last year, and increased as a percentage of software license revenue from 5% to 7%. The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to higher royalty expense for products and technologies licensed or resold from third parties. Cost of software licenses as a percentage of software license revenue varies from period to period depending upon the relative product mix.

Amortization of acquired intangibles decreased $0.1 million, or 27%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was due to the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in prior years.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to the absorption into our continuing operations of costs previously required to support our divested product lines. The increase was offset by lower compensation-related costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as a result of the headcount reduction actions, which occurred in the second half of fiscal year 2012. The increase is also offset by incremental compensation-related expenses of $1.4 million recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 due to the separation of one of our sales and marketing executives.

The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to incremental costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 for stock-based compensation associated with the hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer in December 2011, $0.9 million for a litigation settlement, and $0.5 million of proxy contest-related costs. The decrease is also the result of costs savings in fiscal year 2013 from our restructuring actions and other cost control measures, which were initiated in the second half of fiscal year 2012.

Our effective tax rate was 36% in the first three months of fiscal year 2013 compared to 39% in the first three months of fiscal year 2012.

The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $33.8 million from the end of fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to repurchases of our common stock of $109.3 million and cash outflows from operations of $25.1 million. The decrease was partially offset by proceeds from the sales of our Actional, Artix, DataXtend, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion and Sonic product lines of $73.4 million and issuances of common stock upon exercise of stock options of $29.2 million. There are no restrictions on our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

As of February 28, 2013, $142.1 million of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries.  A portion of this amount relates to the net undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries which are considered to be permanently reinvested, and as such, they are not available to fund our domestic operations. If we were to repatriate the earnings, they would be subject to taxation in the U.S., but would be offset by foreign tax credits. We do not believe this has a material impact on our liquidity.

Share Repurchase Program

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, as part of the Plan, the Board of Directors authorized a $350.0 million return of capital to shareholders in the form of a share repurchase through fiscal year 2013. In October 2012, we announced the adoption of a 10b5-1 plan, under the Board of Directors previous authorization, to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our common stock through June 30, 2013, or earlier. Through February 28, 2013, we have repurchased 9.3 million shares for $194.7 million under the 10b5-1 plan. As of March 28, 2013, we have repurchased 10.3 million shares of our common stock for $219.5 million.

Divestiture of Non-Core Product Lines

As part of the Plan, we announced the intention to divest our ten product lines which were not considered core to our business. In fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we entered into definitive purchase and sale agreements to divest the product lines and all of the divestitures were completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $130.0 million.

The cash flows of our continuing and discontinued operations have not been segregated in our statements of cash flows. The divestitures of these product lines will impact our cash flows in future periods, including our operating cash flows, due to the loss of revenue and elimination of direct expenses. We cannot be certain that the impact will be positive, as indirect expenses of these divestitures (e.g. general and administrative costs) will remain in our continuing cash flows until our remaining product lines can absorb those costs or until the costs are otherwise reduced.

Restructuring Activities

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, as part of the Plan, our management approved, committed to and initiated certain operational restructuring initiatives to reduce annual costs, including the simplification of our organizational structure and the consolidation of facilities.

The total costs of the restructuring primarily relate to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture incentives, but excluding stock-based compensation. Facilities costs include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. Other costs include costs to terminate automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction, asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as part of cost reduction strategies, costs for unused software licenses as part of the workforce reduction and other costs directly associated with the restructuring actions taken.


27


As part of the 2012 restructuring, we incurred expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 totaling $1.4 million, of which $1.0 million represents excess facilities and other costs and $0.4 million represents employee severances and related benefits. We expect to incur additional costs through the remainder of fiscal year 2013, which we estimate to be $1.5 million for excess facilities and other costs and $2.9 million for employee severance and related benefits. The estimated costs not yet recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income relate to excess facilities costs, net of sublease assumptions, and employee severance-related costs as we transition away from our divested product lines.

As of February 28, 2013, $2.6 million of the cumulative expenses recognized under the 2012 restructuring remains unpaid. The restructuring liability does not include the estimated $4.4 million of additional expenses we expect to incur through fiscal year 2013. We expect to pay the majority of the restructuring liability in the next twelve months, however, excess facilities costs will continue through fiscal year 2016.

During the first and third quarters of fiscal year 2010, we undertook restructuring activities to improve efficiencies in our operations. As of February 28, 2013, $0.2 million of the restructuring charge remains unpaid. We expect to pay the remaining liability in fiscal year 2013.

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 15, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") for an unsecured credit facility with J.P. Morgan and other lenders that matures on August 15, 2016, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. The credit facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150.0 million, with a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million and swing line loans up to $20.0 million. The credit facility also permits us to increase the revolving line of credit by up to an additional $75.0 million subject to receiving further commitments from lenders and certain other conditions. We intend to utilize the line of credit for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and working capital.

Revolving loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on our choice of either (i) the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, both depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate (ii) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one month interest period plus a margin equal to 1.00%. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, at a per annum rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. The loan origination fee and issuance costs incurred upon consummation of the Credit Agreement are being amortized through interest expense using the effective interest rate method, over the five-year term of the facility. Other customary fees and letter of credit fees may be charged and will be expensed as they are incurred.

Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to LIBOR rate loans. We may prepay, terminate or reduce the loan commitments in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a requirement to maintain a balance of at least $100.0 million in cash and cash equivalents while repurchasing shares of our common stock or making other restricted equity-related payments (e.g. cash dividend distributions). We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.00. As of February 28, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $0.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. We are in compliance with our covenants by a significant margin.

Auction Rate Securities

In addition to the $321.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, we had investments with a fair value of $26.4 million related to auction rate securities (ARS). These ARS are floating rate securities with longer-term maturities that were marketed by financial institutions with auction reset dates at primarily 28 or 35 day intervals to provide short-term liquidity. The remaining contractual maturities of these securities range from 11 to 30 years. The underlying collateral of the ARS consist of municipal bonds, which are insured by monoline insurance companies, and student loans, which are supported by the federal government as part of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and by the monoline insurance companies.


28


Beginning in February 2008, auctions for these securities began to fail, and the interest rates for these ARS reset to the maximum rate per the applicable investment offering document. At February 28, 2013, our ARS investments totaled $30.7 million at par value. These ARS are classified as available-for-sale securities.

For each of the ARS classified as available-for-sale, we evaluated the risks related to the structure, collateral and liquidity of the investment, and forecasted the probability of issuer default, auction failure and a successful auction at par or a redemption at par for each future auction period. The weighted average cash flow for each period was then discounted back to present value for each security. Based on this methodology, we determined that the fair value of our ARS investments is $26.4 million at February 28, 2013, and we have recorded a temporary impairment charge in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4.2 million to reduce the value of our available-for-sale ARS investments.

We will not be able to access the funds associated with our ARS until a future auction for these ARS is successful, we sell the securities in a secondary market, or they are redeemed by the issuer. As such, these remaining investments currently lack short-term liquidity and are therefore classified as long-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2013.

Based on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $321.4 million, expected operating cash flows and the availability of funds under our revolving credit facility, we do not anticipate the lack of liquidity associated with these ARS to adversely affect our ability to conduct business and believe we have the ability to hold the affected securities throughout the currently estimated recovery period. Therefore, the impairment of these securities is considered only temporary in nature. If the credit rating of either the security issuer or the third-party insurer underlying the investments deteriorates significantly, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of the ARS through an impairment charge.

The decrease in cash generated from operations in the first three months of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the first three months of fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to $41.7 million in payments made for income taxes related to the divestitures of the product lines occurring in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Total tax payments made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $47.3 million, compared to $7.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The decrease is also attributable to an increase in annual bonus payments made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012.

Our gross accounts receivable as of February 28, 2013 decreased by $6.7 million from the end of fiscal year 2012. Days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts receivable from continuing operations was 65 days, down from 70 days at the end of fiscal year 2012, which contributed to the decrease in gross accounts receivable from the end of fiscal year 2012. We target a DSO range of 60 to 80 days.

Net cash inflows and outflows of our net investment activity is primarily a result of the timing of our purchases and maturities of securities which are classified as cash equivalents or short-term securities. We purchased $0.9 million of property and equipment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to $3.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Spending slowed throughout fiscal year 2012 as we neared the implementation of the upgrades to our order management system in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Overall purchases consisted primarily of computer equipment and software and building and leasehold improvements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we completed the divestitures of our Actional, Artix, DataXtend, ObjectStore, Orbacus, Orbix, Savvion and Sonic product lines, and received proceeds of $75.5 million, which were offset by direct transactions costs.

We received $29.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan as compared to $14.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we repurchased $109.3 million of our common stock under our share repurchase plan.

Indemnification Obligations

We include standard intellectual property indemnification provisions in our licensing agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to our product license agreements, we will indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with certain patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by third parties with respect to our products. Other agreements with our customers provide indemnification for claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been insignificant. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial.

In addition, in connection with the divestitures of the product lines not considered core to our business, we have agreed to indemnify the buyers of those product lines with respect to breaches of representations and warranties contained in the definitive purchase and sale agreements we entered into with those buyers.  Our indemnification obligations under these agreements are typically limited in time, amount and scope.  Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial.

Liquidity Outlook

We believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements through at least the next twelve months, and does not contemplate a need for any foreign repatriation of the earnings which we have deemed permanently reinvested. Our foreseeable cash needs include our planned capital expenditures and share repurchases, lease commitments, restructuring obligations and other long-term obligations.

(1)
Deferred revenue as of February 29, 2012 included the deferred revenue of the 10 product lines we sold in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Since the product lines were divested prior to February 28, 2013, the deferred revenue balances as of February 28, 2013 is not comparable to the prior period presented. Deferred revenue as of February 28, 2013 includes $1.9 million of contractual maintenance which has not been invoiced or included on our balance sheet and relates to a customer who changed its invoicing schedule and if excluded, amounts would not be comparable to the prior period presented.
(2)
Our backlog of orders not included on the balance sheet is not subject to our normal accounting controls for information that is either reported in or derived from our basic financial statements.

We typically fulfill most of our software license orders within 30 days of acceptance of a purchase order. Assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize software license revenue upon shipment of the product, or if delivered electronically, when the customer has the right to access the software. Because there are many elements governing when revenue is recognized, including when orders are shipped, credit approval obtained, completion of internal control processes over revenue recognition and other factors, management has some control in determining the period in which certain revenue is recognized. We frequently have open software license orders at the end of a quarter which have not shipped or have otherwise not met all the required criteria for revenue recognition. Although the amount of open software license orders may vary at any time, we generally do not believe that the amount, if any, of such software license orders at the end of a particular
quarter is a reliable indicator of future performance. In addition, there is no industry standard for the definition of backlog and there may be an element of estimation in determining the amount. As such, direct comparisons with other companies may be difficult or potentially misleading.

Legal and Other Regulatory Matters

See discussion regarding legal and other regulatory matters in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our only significant off-balance sheet commitments relate to operating lease obligations. Future annual minimum rental lease payments are detailed in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012. We have no “off-balance sheet arrangements” within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08), to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after performing the qualitative assessment an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for us in fiscal year 2013. We adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 for our annual impairment test, which occurs in the first quarter of our fiscal year. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12), which defers the effective date of only those

31


changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. We adopted ASU 2011-05 in our first quarter of fiscal year 2013, and applied it retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have any impact on our 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 Accumulative Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which replaces the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. ASU 2013-02 is effective for us in our second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 is not anticipated to have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to a material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Based on this definition, as of November 30, 2012, management concluded we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting because we failed to maintain effective controls necessary to ensure all terms and conditions being agreed to by our sales personnel with our customers and partners were properly documented within our contractual arrangements with such customers and partners, resulting in improper recognition of revenue. We determined that as a result of this deficiency, the timing of revenue recognized was improper on certain transactions that were immaterial to our financial statements.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

As a result of the material weakness described above, we have begun to implement changes to our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with our remediation plan.  These changes include the following:

The termination of employment of various sales representatives and former regional sales directors determined to be in violation of our revenue recognition policy and code of conduct;
The enhancement of communications from senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President of Global Field Operations and General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, regarding inappropriate business arrangements;
The expansion of our existing sales employee certification process; and
The enhancement of processes with respect to the assessment of existing customer and partner credit worthiness.


32


Management is committed to implementing additional remediation actions and will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the efforts and make any changes deemed appropriate.  However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until: (1) all of our planned remediation efforts are designed, appropriately controlled and implemented for a sufficient period of time, and (2) we have sufficient evidence that the new processes and related controls are operating effectively.

In addition, during the quarter ended February 28, 2013, we implemented a new order management system.  Management has made changes to internal controls as a result of the implementation, as appropriate. There have been no other changes to our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these other legal matters will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves certain risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the information provided in this report, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 for a more complete discussion regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
