NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

We are a leading provider of customer service and contact center software, used by global enterprises for over a decade. eGain Service 7^™, our software suite, available through licensed or hosted models, includes integrated, best-in-class applications for customer email management, live web collaboration, virtual agent customer service, knowledge management, and web self-service. These robust applications are built on the eGain SMP^™, a scalable next-generation framework that includes end-to-end service process management, multi-channel, multi-site contact center management, a flexible integration approach, and certified out-of-the-box integrations with leading call center and business systems.

We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and included the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004 has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals for complete financial statements. The results of our operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Software Revenue Recognition

We derive revenues from two sources: license fees, and support and services. Support and services includes hosting, software maintenance and support, system implementation consulting and training. Maintenance and support consists of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” to all transactions involving the sale of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement we evaluate if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the guidelines set forth in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue Issue No. 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”).

When licenses are sold together with system implementation consulting services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (1) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, (2) the services are available from other vendors (3) the services qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services and we have vendor specific objective evidence pricing, and (4) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. For arrangements that do not meet the above criteria, both the product license revenues and services revenues are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1, “Accounting

for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.” When reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services, we account for the arrangements under the percentage of completion method pursuant to SOP 81-1. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized.

We use signed software license and services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, hosting, maintenance and support. We use signed engagement letters to evidence an arrangement for system implementation consulting and training.

License Revenue

We recognize license revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, no significant obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of software maintenance and support, implementation and consulting services and in some cases hosting services.

Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files are delivered electronically. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Our standard payment terms are generally less than 90 days. In instances where payments are subject to extended payment terms, revenue is deferred until payments become due. We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.

Revenue from sales to resellers is recognized either upon delivery to the reseller or on a sell-through basis depending on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s use of our software, the reseller’s financial status and our past experience with the particular reseller. Accordingly, the decision of whether to recognize revenue to resellers upon delivery or on a sell-through basis requires significant management judgment. This judgment can materially impact the timing of revenue recognition.

System Implementation Consulting Revenue

Included in support services revenues are revenues derived from system implementation consulting and training. The majority of our consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. We use vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for the services and maintenance to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. Substantially all of our contracts or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, we recognize revenue as services are performed. For a fixed-fee contract, we recognize revenue upon completion of specific contractual milestones or by using the percentage of completion method.

Training revenue is recognized when training is provided.

Hosting Services Revenue

Included in support services revenues are revenues derived from our hosted service offerings. We recognize hosting services revenue ratably over the period of the applicable agreement as services are provided. Hosting agreements are typically for a period of one or two years and automatically renew unless either party cancels the agreement. The majority of the hosting services customers purchase a combination of our hosting service and implementation services. In some cases the customer may also acquire a license for the software.

Table of Contents

We evaluate whether each of the elements in these arrangements represents a separate unit of accounting, as defined by EITF 00-21, using all applicable facts and circumstances, including whether (i) the Company sells or could readily sell the element unaccompanied by the other elements, (ii) the element has stand-alone value to the customer, (iii) there is objective reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and (iv) there is a general right of return.

The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately. Assuming all other criteria are met (i.e., evidence of an arrangement exists, collectibility is probable, and fees are fixed or determinable), revenue is recognized as follows:

If evidence of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of an agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is recognized ratably over the period that these elements are delivered.

Maintenance and Support Revenue

Included in support services revenues are revenues derived from maintenance and support. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer on an annual basis. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.

Note 3. Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation arrangements with employees using the intrinsic-value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Deferred stock-based compensation is recorded on the date of grant when the deemed fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price for stock options or the purchase price for the shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004, there was no outstanding balance of deferred stock compensation.

We have adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure. Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123 (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 4. Goodwill

We review annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. We operate under a single reporting unit and accordingly, all of our goodwill is associated with the entire company.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment review as of April 1, 2004 and found no impairment. We did not perform a goodwill impairment review in the first three fiscal quarters of 2005, as we did not identify any unfavorable indicators for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), we review long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Under SFAS 144, an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2005, we did not have any such losses.

Note 5. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in thousands, except per share data):

Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 1,083,133 and 1,233,291 shares of common stock at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and convertible preferred stock convertible into 0 and 1,983,047 shares of common stock at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented as a result of their anti-dilutive effect. Such securities could have a dilutive effect in future periods.

Note 6. Comprehensive Income / Loss

We report comprehensive income / loss and the components in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (“SFAS 130”). Under SFAS 130, comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners. The comprehensive loss was $765,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the comprehensive loss was $925,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Comprehensive loss was $718,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and comprehensive loss was $4.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2005 consists solely of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 7. Segment Information

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision-makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Our chief operating decision-makers, as defined under SFAS No. 131, are our executive management team. Our chief operating decision makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by separate information about operating results by geographic region for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, we operate in one segment, the development, license, implementation and support of our customer service infrastructure software solutions.

Information relating to our geographic areas is as follows (in thousands):

In addition, identifiable tangible assets corresponding to our geographic areas are as follows (in thousands):

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, there was no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.

Note 8. Related Party Notes Payable

On December 24, 2002, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with Ashutosh Roy, our Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Roy made loans to us evidenced by subordinated secured promissory notes and received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with each of such loans. Each five-year subordinated secured promissory note bears interest at an effective annual rate of 12% due and payable upon the term of such note. We have the option to prepay each note at any time subject to the prepayment penalties set forth in such note. On December 31, 2002, Mr. Roy loaned to us $2.0 million under the agreement and received warrants that allow him to purchase up to 236,742 shares at an exercise price equal to $2.11 per share. In connection with this loan, we recorded $1.83 million in related party notes payable and $173,000 of discount on the note related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to

Table of Contents

interest expense over the five-year life of the note. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of 3 years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 2%, and a dividend yield of 0%. On October, 31, 2003, we entered into an amendment to the 2002 note and warrant purchase agreement with Mr. Roy, pursuant to which he loaned to us an additional $2.0 million and received additional warrants to purchase up to 128,766 shares at $3.88 per share. In connection with this additional loan we recorded $1.8 million in related party notes payable and $195,000 of discount on the notes related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year life of the note. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of 3 years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 2.25%, and a dividend yield of 0%. The principal and interest due on the loan as of March 31, 2005 was $4.7 million. As of March 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 365,509 shares of common stock were vested and outstanding.

On March 31, 2004, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with Ashutosh Roy, our Chief Executive Officer, Oak Hill Capital Partners L.P., Oak Hill Capital Management Partners L.P., and FW Investors L.P. (the “lenders”) pursuant to which the lenders loaned to us $2.5 million evidenced by secured promissory notes and received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with such loan. The secured promissory notes have a term of five years and bear interest at an effective annual rate of 12% due and payable upon the maturity of such notes. We have the option to prepay the notes at any time subject to the prepayment penalties set forth in such notes. The warrants allow the lenders to purchase up to 312,500 shares at an exercise price of $2.00. The warrants become exercisable as to fifty percent (50%) of the warrant shares nine months after issuance of the warrants and as to one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining warrant shares on the first anniversary of the issuance of the warrants. We recorded $2.28 million in related party notes payable and $223,000 of discount on the notes related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to interest expense over the five year life of the notes. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of 3 years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 1.93%, and a dividend yield of 0%. The principal and interest due on the loan as of March 31, 2005 was $2.6 million. As of March 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of common stock were vested and outstanding.

Note 9. Bank Borrowings

On October 29, 2004, we entered into a new loan and security agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) which replaced the existing accounts receivable purchase agreement. The Credit Facility provided for the advance of up to the lesser of $1.5 million or 80% of certain qualified receivables. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2.5% per annum, provided that if we maintain an adjusted quick ratio of greater than 2.00 to 1.00, then the rate shall be reduced to a rate of prime plus 1.75%. In addition, the Credit Facility carries a $750 per month collateral monitoring fee. There are financial covenants under this agreement that require us to meet certain minimum rolling three-month operating losses during the term of the Credit Facility. On December 28, 2004, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility that revised the terms to allow for the advance of up to the lesser of $1.5 million or the sum of 80% of certain qualified receivables and 50% of our unrestricted cash on deposit with SVB less the total outstanding obligations to SVB and any outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2005, the interest rate was 7.5%, and the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $1.5 million. On March 29, 2005, we entered into a further amendment to the Credit Facility that revised the terms to allow for the advance of up to an additional $750,000 to be used to finance equipment purchases (the “Equipment Line”). Interest accrues from the date of each advance, under the Equipment Line, at a rate of prime plus 3% per annum. Each advance under the Equipment Line must be repaid in 24 equal monthly payments of principal and interest, commencing on the first day of the first month following the date the advance is made, and continuing on the first day of each succeeding month. As of March 31, 2005, the interest rate was 8.75%, and the outstanding balance under the Equipment Line was $119,000.

Note 10. Restructuring

Background

Beginning in fiscal 2001 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2004, economic conditions in North America and many of the other countries in which we operate either deteriorated or stabilized at depressed levels. This continuing weak economic environment, and in particular spending in technology, has had an adverse impact on sales of enterprise software. As a result, we have seen a decline in our revenues over the past three fiscal

-9-

Table of Contents

years. In response to this decline, we initiated a series of steps to streamline operations and better align operating costs and expenses with revenue trends. Specifically, we took the following actions:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we recorded a restructuring expense of $14,000 which consisted of $60,000 for the closure of the Japan office, partially offset by the reversal of an over accrual of $46,000 related to two lease settlements for excess facilities that were paid in full in February 2005.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a restructuring benefit of $958,000 to reflect the accrual adjustment for two legal settlements that had payments tied to any distribution made to the Series A Preferred Stockholders.

The estimated contingent payments related to two lease settlements for excess facilities was finalized and paid in February 2005. As part of separate settlement agreements with the two landlords, in the event we make a distribution of cash, stock or other consideration to holders of our Series A Preferred with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred held by such Series A Preferred holders, each of the two landlords would receive a payment equal to the lesser of (i) $1.0 million or (ii) the amount payable to a holder of shares of Series A Preferred with an aggregate stated value of $1.0 million. Based upon the final distribution to the Preferred stock holders we needed to reduce the outstanding liability we had accrued for these two settlements by approximately $958,000. In February 2005, a total payment of $242,000 was made for the finalized settlements and the over accrual of $46,000 was reversed.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the restructuring accrual activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 (in thousands):

Note 11. Warranties

We generally warrant that the program portion of our software will perform substantially in accordance with certain specifications for a period up to 180 days. Our liability for a breach of this warranty is either a return of the license fee or providing a fix, patch, work-around or replacement of the software.

We also provide standard warranties against and indemnification for the potential infringement of third party intellectual property rights to our customers relating to the use of our products, as well as indemnification agreements with certain officers and employees under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their duties to us. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, the maximum obligation is the amount permitted by law.

Historically, costs related to these warranties have not been significant, however we cannot guarantee that a warranty reserve will not become necessary in the future.

Note 12. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004) which will require us, beginning in fiscal 2006, to expense employee stock options for financial reporting purposes. Such stock option expensing would require us to value our employee stock option grants using the fair value method, and then amortize that value against our reported earnings over the vesting period in effect for those options. We currently account for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and have adopted the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS 123R. When we expense employee stock options in the future, this change in accounting treatment will materially and adversely affect our reported results of operations as the stock-based compensation expense would be charged directly against our reported earnings. For an illustration of the effect of such a change on our recent results of operations, see Note 3 in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Participation by our employees in our employee stock purchase plan may trigger additional compensation charges when the amendments to SFAS 123R are adopted.

Note 13. Subsequent Event

Our board of directors terminated our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a meeting held on May 11, 2005.

Note 14. Litigation

Beginning on October 25, 2001, a number of securities class action complaints were filed against us, and certain of our then officers and directors and underwriters connected with our initial public offering of common stock in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (consolidated into In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig.). The complaints alleged generally that the prospectus under which such securities were sold contained false and misleading statements with respect to discounts and excess commissions received by the underwriters as well as allegations of “laddering” whereby underwriters required their customers to purchase additional shares in the

-11-

Table of Contents

aftermarket in exchange for an allocation of IPO shares. The complaints sought an unspecified amount in damages on behalf of persons who purchased the common stock between September 23, 1999 and December 6, 2000. Similar complaints were filed against 55 underwriters and more than 300 other companies and other individuals. The over 1,000 complaints were consolidated into a single action. We reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve the cases as to our liability and that of our officers and directors. The settlement involved no monetary payment or other consideration by us or our officers and directors and no admission of liability. The Court has not yet approved the settlement, but has tentatively set a public hearing on the fairness of the proposed settlement for January 9, 2006.

On February 12, 2004, we filed suit against Insight Enterprises, Inc., the acquirer of Comark, Inc., a value-added reseller of our software, claiming inter alia breach of contract and failure to pay in connection with a sale of our software to one customer. The lawsuit seeks in excess of $600,000 in damages.

With the exception of these matters, we are not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding, except routine legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business and incidental to our business, none of which are expected to have a material adverse impact, as taken individually or in the aggregate, upon our business, financial position or results of operations. However, even if these claims are not meritorious, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and it could divert management’s attention and impact other resources.

Recent Developments

Holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of eGain Communications Corporation approved a proposal to amend the company’s certificate of incorporation resulting in the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and accreted dividends into approximately 11.6 million shares of common stock at the company’s annual meeting held on December 15, 2004. The conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and accreted dividends into common stock was effective on December 23, 2004.

The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 2005. The 2005 Plan allows for the issuance of options to purchase up to 460,000 shares of our Common Stock. We intend to submit the 2005 Plan for stockholder approval at eGain’s next annual stockholder meeting. The primary purpose of the 2005 Plan is to promote the long-term success of eGain and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging our employees to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of employees with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking the interests of our employees directly to our stockholder’s interests through increased stock ownership.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation allowances and accrued liabilities, long-lived assets and restructuring. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition to be updated

We derive revenues from two sources: license fees, and support and services. Support and services includes hosting, software maintenance and support, training, and system implementation consulting. Maintenance and support consists of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” to all transactions involving the sale of software products.

We recognize license revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, no significant obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of services.

We recognize hosting services revenue ratably over the period of the applicable agreement as services are provided. Hosting agreements are typically for a period of one year and automatically renew unless either party cancels the agreement.

We use signed software license and services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, hosting, maintenance and support. We use signed engagement letters to evidence an arrangement for system implementation consulting and training.

Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Our standard payment terms are generally less than 90 days. In instances where payments are subject to extended payment terms, revenue is deferred until payments become due. We assess collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.

When licenses are sold together with consulting and implementation services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (1) the above criteria have been met, (2) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, and (3) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. For arrangements that do not meet the above criteria, both the product license revenues and services revenues are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.” When reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services, we account for the arrangements under the percentage of completion method pursuant to SOP 81-1. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized.

The majority of our consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. We use vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for the services and maintenance to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For a fixed-fee contract, we recognize revenue upon completion of specific contractual milestones or by using the percentage of completion method. For time-and-materials contracts, we recognize revenue as services are performed.

Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Training revenue is recognized when training is provided.

Revenue from sales to resellers is recognized either upon delivery to the reseller or on a sell-through basis depending on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s use of our software, the reseller’s financial status and our past experience with the particular reseller. Accordingly, the decision of whether to recognize revenue to resellers upon delivery or on a sell-through basis requires significant management judgment. This judgment can materially impact the timing of revenue recognition.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We review our goodwill annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. We operate under a single reporting unit and accordingly, all of our goodwill is associated with the entire company. We performed our annual goodwill impairment review as of April 1, 2004 and found no impairment. We did not perform a goodwill impairment review in the first three fiscal quarters of 2005, as we did not identify any unfavorable indicators for the six months ended March 31, 2005.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), we review long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Under SFAS 144, an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecasting of future operating results which are used in the preparation of projected discounted cash flows and, should different conditions prevail or judgments be made, material write-downs of net intangible assets and/or goodwill could occur. In addition, our depreciation and amortization policies reflect judgments on the estimated useful lives of assets.

Restructuring

We have taken restructuring charges related to excess facilities and have established reserves at the low end of the range of estimable cost (as required by accounting standards) against outstanding commitments for leased properties that we have abandoned. These reserves are based upon our estimate of triggering events, such as the time required to sublease the property and the amount of sublease income that might be generated from the date of abandonment and the expiration of the lease. These estimates are reviewed based on changes in these triggering events. Adjustments to the restructuring charge will be made in future periods, if necessary, should different conditions prevail from those anticipated in our original estimate.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential uncollectable trade receivables. We review our trade receivables by aging category to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. We exercise judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as we evaluate historical bad debt trends, general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and changes in customer financial conditions. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates, material differences may result in additional reserves for trade receivables, which would be reflected by charges in general and administrative expenses for any period presented.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the results of operations for the periods presented expressed as a percentage of total revenue:

Revenues

Total revenue decreased 10% to $ 4.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $5.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 decreased 2% to $ 14.6 million, compared to $14.9 million in the same period last year. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, there was no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. Based upon current sales activities we anticipate total revenue to increase over the next fiscal year, however there may be an increase or decrease in future quarters as a result of the unpredictability of the timing of license transactions being completed and recognized.
