Aspect Software Group Holdings Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1— DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Description of Business

Aspect Software Group Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, (together with its subsidiaries, “Aspect Software” or the “Company”), provides products and services that turn the potential of unified communications into real business results across the enterprise and in the contact center. Unified communications streamlines and enhances customer-facing business processes with complete visibility and control, and enables businesses to seamlessly extend those processes beyond the traditional boundaries of the contact center to reach knowledge workers or subject matter experts in the enterprise in order to enhance collaboration.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future periods. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-170936) as amended, declared effective by the SEC on April 1, 2011. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts of Aspect Software Group Holdings Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) ratified ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 amends existing revenue recognition accounting standards that are currently within the scope of FASB ASC, Subtopic 605-25, which is the revenue recognition guidance for multiple-element arrangements.

In October 2009, the FASB ratified ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 amends the existing revenue recognition accounting standards to remove tangible products that contain software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of industry specific software revenue recognition guidance.

The Company adopted these new accounting pronouncements on January 1, 2011 on a prospective basis for transactions originating or materially modified on or after the adoption date. Note 2 – Revenue Recognition provides additional information on the Company’s adoption of these accounting pronouncements and the impact to the Company’s financial statements.

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. ASU 2011-05 is effective for the Company in our first quarter of 2012 and should be applied retrospectively. There will be no impact to the consolidated financial results as the amendments relate only to changes in financial statement presentation.

NOTE 2—REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company derives its revenue primarily from two sources (i) product revenues, which include software licenses and hardware, and (ii) service revenues, which include software license updates and product support, installation, consulting, and

 

7


Table of Contents

education. Revenues from license fees have been derived from sales of software products to end users through the Company’s direct sales force, distributors, and resellers.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, (“ASC 985-605”), formerly known as AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, or the provisions of FASB ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements, (“ASC 605-25”) formerly known as Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, depending on the nature of the arrangement.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company prospectively adopted ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), and ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 amends existing revenue recognition accounting standards that are currently within the scope of ASC 605-25. ASU 2009-13 provides for three significant changes to the existing multiple element revenue recognition guidance as follows:

 

  1) Eliminates the requirement to have objective and reliable evidence of fair value for undelivered elements in an arrangement, which may result in more deliverables being treated as separate units of accounting.

 

  2) Modifies the manner in which the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separately identified deliverables. ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or management’s estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The objective of ESP is to determine the price if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis.

 

  3) Eliminates use of the residual method and requires an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method, which results in the discount in the transaction being evenly allocated to the separate units of accounting.

ASU 2009-14 amends the existing revenue recognition accounting standards to remove tangible products that contain software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of industry specific software revenue recognition guidance and should follow the guidance in ASU 2009-13 for multiple-element arrangements. In addition, ASU 2009-14 requires that hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue guidance.

The adoption of these new accounting pronouncements for transactions originating or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011 generally does not change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions, since most products and services qualify as separate units of accounting.

As required by ASU 2009-13, the Company establishes selling price using VSOE, if it exists, otherwise TPE is used. If neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exists for a unit of accounting, the Company uses ESP. TPE is determined based on the prices charged by competitors of the Company for similar deliverables when sold separately. ESP is based upon all reasonably available information including both market data and conditions and entity-specific factors. These factors include market trends and competitive conditions, product maturity, differences related to geography, distribution channel, and deal size, cumulative customer purchases, and profit goals.

The Company generally expects that it will not be able to establish TPE due to the nature of the products sold and the markets in which it competes and therefore relies upon VSOE or ESP in allocating revenue.

The Company plans to analyze the selling prices used in its allocation of arrangement consideration at a minimum on an annual basis, or more frequently if a significant change in the Company’s business necessitates a more timely analysis or if the Company experiences significant variances in its selling prices.

The Company has established VSOE of selling price for support and maintenance services, professional services, and education, and ESP for software licenses and hardware.

The Company’s arrangements with multiple deliverables may have stand-alone software deliverables that are subject to the existing software revenue recognition guidance. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25, the transaction

Table of Contents

consideration for these multiple element arrangements is allocated to software and non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the deliverables in the arrangement using the hierarchy in the new revenue accounting guidance. In those circumstances where the Company cannot determine VSOE or TPE of the selling price for all of the deliverables in the arrangement, including the software deliverable, ESP is used for the purposes of performing this allocation. The amount allocated to the Software deliverables as a group is then accounted for in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition guidance in ASC 985-605.

As a result of implementing ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14, the Company recognized $3.6 million and $4.7 million as revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 that would have been deferred under the previous guidance for multiple element arrangements and software revenue recognition. The Company anticipates the effect of the adoption of this guidance in subsequent periods will be primarily based on the arrangements entered into and the timing of delivery of the elements in these arrangements at that time.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software product licenses and hardware (the “Product”) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the Product has been delivered, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Delivery generally occurs when the Product is delivered to a common carrier at the Company’s loading dock unless title and risk of loss transfers upon delivery to the customer. In sales transactions through a distributor or reseller, the Company generally recognizes revenues upon shipment to the reseller or identified end user.

At the time of the Product sale, the Company assesses whether the fee associated with the revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether collection is probable. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable is based in part on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If any portion of a fee is due beyond the Company’s normal payment terms, the Company evaluates the specific facts and circumstances to determine if the fee is fixed or determinable. If it is determined that the fee is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not probable, then the Company will defer the entire fee and recognize revenue upon receipt of cash.

For software arrangements with multiple elements not subject to ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14, the Company applies the residual method in accordance with ASC 985-605. The residual method requires the portion of the total arrangement fee attributable to undelivered elements be deferred based on its VSOE of fair value and subsequently recognized as the service is delivered. The difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements, which is generally Product. VSOE of fair value for all elements in an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing for those products and services when sold separately. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for support and maintenance services, professional services, and education. The Company has not established VSOE for its software licenses or hardware.

In connection with the sale of its software licenses, the Company sells support and maintenance services, which are recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, typically one year. Under support and maintenance services, customers receive unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance and patch releases during the term, and internet and telephone access to technical support personnel.

Many of the Company’s software arrangements also include professional services for consulting and implementation sold under separate agreements. Professional services revenue from these arrangements is generally accounted for separately from the software license because the services qualify as a separate element under ASC 985-605. The more significant factors considered in determining whether professional services revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of services (i.e. consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments, and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee. Professional services revenue under these arrangements, as well as when sold on a standalone basis, is generally recognized as the services are performed.

The Company recognizes revenue associated with education as these services are performed.

Table of Contents

Deferred revenues primarily represent payments received from customers for software licenses and updates, hardware, product support, installation services, and educational services prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria related to those payments.

The Company records its estimate for customer returns as a reduction in revenues. In determining the Company’s revenue reserve estimate, and in accordance with internal policy, the Company relies on historical data and known returned goods in transit. These factors, and unanticipated changes in the economic and industry environment, could cause the Company’s return estimates to differ from actual results.

The determination to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors used in determining the overall fair value of the instrument. Level 3 unobservable inputs include situations where there is little, if any, market activity. The Company has considered the trading activity for its debt and determined that the fair market value of debt is equal to par at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.

During 2010 and in prior years, the Company recorded accruals associated with exiting all or portions of certain leased facilities. The Company estimates the fair value of such liabilities, which are discounted to net present value at an assumed risk-free interest rate, based on observable inputs, including the remaining payments required under the existing lease agreements, utilities costs based on recent invoice amounts, and potential sublease receipts based on market conditions and quoted market prices for similar sublease arrangements.

NOTE 5—DERIVATIVES

The Company’s first lien credit facility requires that the Company enter into one or more hedge instrument agreements for a minimum period of three years for fifty percent of the principal within 180 days of the debt refinancing. The Company purchased a two year interest rate cap at 5% in the third quarter of 2010. The Company will satisfy the requirement for the third year prior to November 7, 2012.

The interest rate cap agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting, and as a result, the Company recognizes changes in fair value of the cap as an asset or liability with an offset amount recorded as interest income or expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company utilizes observable inputs to determine the fair value of its interest rate cap and has recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 6—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.6% and 23.6% for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of foreign operations in lower tax jurisdictions partially offset by additions to ASC740-10 reserves for uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had accrued approximately $5.2 million and $4.5 million respectively for potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) recently completed an audit of the Company’s consolidated federal income tax return for tax year 2005. As part of their audit, the IRS has proposed $161.8 million of additional tax and penalties primarily attributable to its significantly higher valuation of certain intellectual property transferred offshore by Aspect Communications, Inc. (“Aspect Communications”) in 1999 and 2000 and the IRS’s reallocation of certain research and

Table of Contents

development shared costs between the Company’s U.S. and offshore entities. In addition, the IRS has disallowed certain transaction costs the Company deducted in connection with its acquisition of Aspect Communications in 2005. The IRS assessment does not include interest on underpayments and additional state taxes that would be due if the Company is unsuccessful in defending the positions reported on its tax returns. The Company has analyzed the technical merits of each of the IRS’ assessments and the strength of the positions claimed on its tax returns, which included an analysis performed by an independent party at the time of the intellectual property transfer, and has reserved for certain items consistent with the requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. However, the Company has not recorded any reserve for uncertain tax positions related to the transfer of intellectual property, because it believes that the positions reported on its tax returns will be sustained on their technical merits. The Company intends to vigorously contest the assessment at IRS Appeals and, if necessary, in court. The process may be time consuming and expensive and if the Company is not successful in reversing or minimizing the tax adjustment, the resulting liability could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

The tax years 2005 and forward remain open to examination by taxing authorities around the world.

NOTE 7—RESTRUCTURING

During 2010, the Company abandoned certain leases and reduced its workforce as a result of the acquisition and integration of Quilogy, Inc. In addition, the Company established a presence in Ireland for operations as well as certain back office functions which resulted in employee related restructuring costs during 2010 and in the first half of 2011. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company also realigned its headcount profile due to completion of the latest release of Unified IP and in order to fund additional investment in the Sales and Marketing functions. This realignment resulted in the reduction of research and development headcount by approximately 60 employees in the first quarter of 2011. The Company expects all severance payments to be made by the end of calendar 2011.

The Company utilizes observable inputs, including but not limited to, sublease information, interest rates and exit costs to determine the fair value of its provisions related to the consolidation of facilities cost.

NOTE 8—CONTINGENCIES

The Company, from time to time, is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company based on the nature and status of proceedings at this time.

In January 2008, the Company filed an action in state court in Massachusetts against Kenexa Technology, Inc. (“Kenexa”) alleging fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and violations of Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A, in each case in connection with a 2007 agreement pursuant to which Kenexa agreed to provide outsourced employee recruiting and processing. In May 2010, a jury trial resulted in a verdict totaling approximately $0.8 million for Kenexa, of which approximately $0.4 million was paid in July 2010. The court denied the Company’s 93A claims in January 2011, and it ruled in February 2011 that the Company must pay Kenexa approximately $1.7 million in attorney fees, interest and costs which is included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $1.8 million in general and administrative expenses and $0.3 million in interest expense related to this litigation. In April 2011, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the trial court verdict.

In May 2009, the Company was sued in Minnesota by a former sales representative of the Company, Automated Telemarketing Services, Inc. (“ATS”) for alleged claims of breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith, and tortious interference with contract. In April 2011, a jury trial resulted in a verdict totaling approximately $1.7 million in damages

plus interest in favor of ATS. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $1.7 million in general and administrative expenses and $0.3 million in interest expense related to this litigation. In May 2011, the Company filed a post-trial motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict with respect to the tortious interference claim or, alternatively, to reduce the damages on that claim. This motion was denied, and the Company is currently considering whether to file a notice of appeal.

The Company is not currently party to any other material legal proceedings. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 9—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company incurred advisory fees related to management and advisory services rendered in connection with a consulting agreement entered into by both parties from its majority shareholder totaling $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The advisory fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, with a related accrued expense amount $1.0 million as December 31, 2010. There was no accrued expense relating to these fees at June 30, 2011. Additionally, the majority shareholder received stock options in exchange for certain shares during the year ended December 31, 2010 in connection with the Company’s equity consolidation.

The Company invoiced a minority shareholder $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 for product and services provided to the minority shareholder. Additionally, the Company had $3.4 million and $4.9 million of debt outstanding which was held by the minority shareholder at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

On October 1, 2009, Laurie Cairns joined the Company as Senior Vice President of Marketing and held this position through June 30, 2011. Ms. Cairns has an ownership interest in LEC Ltd., a marketing firm that provides consulting services to the Company. The Company paid $0.4 million and $1.0 million to LEC Ltd. during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Additionally, the Company paid $0.5 million and $0.6 million to LEC Ltd. during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $50.0 million of the second lien credit facility was held by a corporation owned by certain Class L shareholders and to which the Company paid semi-annual interest of $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, the Company paid these Class L shareholders $0.5 million and $1.9 million of interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company had accrued interest expense of approximately $0.7 million related to certain Class L shareholders second lien credit facility holdings as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

NOTE 10—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Corsidian is a customer contact solutions provider in the Latin American (“LATAM”) region with approximately 100 employees and has been a top-producing Aspect channel partner for many years. On July 5, 2011, the Company acquired the Corsidian entities in Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico and on July 22, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Corsidian’s Colombia entity (together, “Corsidian”). The total purchase price was $14.8 million, including $10.1 million held in escrow in connection with certain indemnification provisions. The Company will perform the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2011. The acquisition of Corsidian will provide the Company with an immediate and substantial direct presence in the LATAM region, helping to fully capitalize on market growth opportunities in that region.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no other material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure.

NOTE 11—SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIALS

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this “Quarterly Report” on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report, and in conjunction with our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-170936), as amended.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the extent and timing of future revenues and expenses and customer demand, statements regarding the deployment of our products, statements regarding our reliance on third parties and other statements using words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “will” and “would,” and words of similar import and the negatives thereof, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. Actual results could vary materially as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those expressed in these statements. We refer you to the “Risk Factors,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risks,” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections contained in this Quarterly Report, and the risks discussed in our other SEC filings, which identify important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

We urge you to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We claim the protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements in this report. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to our company or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of business communications solutions and services. We develop, market, license and sell software and hardware products that enable businesses to manage communications with their customers and employees more efficiently and effectively. In addition to contact center software, we provide enterprise-wide unified communications and collaboration services, which allow companies to expand the role of customer contact in their enterprises by utilizing various communications technologies, such as voice, email, instant messaging and video, on an integrated software platform. We believe this type of technology will be foundational as traditional contact centers evolve into customer contact hubs that engage with customers through social media and provide customer access to experts throughout the enterprise. In 2008, Microsoft purchased an equity stake in our company and entered into a strategic alliance with us to integrate our contact center products into Microsoft’s own industry-leading unified communications offerings. We believe this alliance increases our influence and visibility with new and existing customers.

We have identified certain items that management uses as performance indicators to manage our business, including revenue, certain elements of operating expenses and cash flow from operations, and we describe these items further below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, net revenues increased $7.8 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Product revenue increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in the prior year driven by an increase in our growth products revenue (Unified IP and Workforce Optimization) of $3.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. In addition, stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, contributed $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to the product revenue improvement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010. Services revenue, including consulting, implementation and education services, increased $2.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to a significant Unified IP order as well as lower purchase accounting adjustments and revenue reserve amounts in the current year. Services revenue relating to maintenance increased $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which improved revenue by $2.0 million partially offset by decreased revenue from contract renewals. Services revenue relating to maintenance increased $4.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which improved revenue by

$2.5 million combined with increased first year maintenance from product purchases. As a result of prospectively implementing ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 on January 1, 2011, we recognized $3.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, as revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 that would have been deferred under the previous guidance for multiple element arrangements and software revenue recognition.

The increase in Americas net revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 was mainly due to increased services and maintenance revenue of $2.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in product revenue of $2.3 million. The increase in services revenue is primarily due to professional services performed in 2011 relating to a significant Unified IP order booked in the fourth quarter of 2010 resulting in $0.7 million of professional services revenue along with lower purchase accounting adjustments and reserves. The increase in maintenance revenue is a result of increased first year maintenance from product purchases. These improvements were partially offset by decreased product revenue as a result of delays in approvals for capital investments by our customers. Increased net revenues in Europe and Africa for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily driven by improved product sales as the economy continues to recover combined with stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which increased revenue by $2.8 million. These improvements were partially offset by decreased maintenance revenue resulting from contract renewals, primarily from a large telecom company in the United Kingdom. The increase in Asia Pacific net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 related primarily to improved product revenue of $2.0 million as the Asia Pacific region continues to be an area of growth.

The increase in Americas net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 was mainly due to increased services and maintenance revenue of $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in product revenue of $2.8 million. The increase in services revenue is primarily due to $1.2 million of professional services revenue relating to a significant Unified IP order as well as lower purchase accounting adjustments and reserves in the current year. The increase in maintenance revenue is related to increased first year maintenance from product purchases. These improvements were partially offset by decreased product revenue as a result of delays in approvals for capital investments by our customers. Increased net revenues in Europe and Africa for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily driven by improved product sales as the economy continues to recover combined with stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which increased revenue by $3.4 million. These improvements were partially offset by decreased maintenance revenue resulting from delayed and contract renewals, primarily from a large telecom company in the United Kingdom. The increase in Asia Pacific net revenues related primarily to improved product revenue combined with stronger foreign currencies, mainly the Japanese Yen, Australian and Singapore dollars, increasing revenue by $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in salary, benefits and other employee costs as a result of certain incentive compensation relating to the successful debt refinancing in May 2010 consisting of $5.2 million of bonuses and $1.9 million of officer note forgiveness. This decrease was partially offset by higher legal fees, tax and audit fees, and marketing expenses in 2011. The increase in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to restructuring of the research and development and services and support functions in 2011 as we have rebalanced our resource profile across certain functions in order to fund additional investment in the sales and marketing functions. In addition, there were higher legal fees, tax and audit fees, and marketing expenses which were partially offset by lower salary, benefits and other employee costs as a result of certain incentive compensation relating to the successful debt refinancing in May 2010.

This decrease was partially offset by increased headcount and higher contractor, recruiting, travel, and training expenses related to rebalancing our resource profile across certain functions in order to fund additional investment in the sales and marketing functions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, discretionary marketing expenses were higher than for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of increased trade show, web marketing, and promotional materials expenses.

Legal fees increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to fees related to the Corsidian acquisition. Legal fees increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of fees related to the Corsidian acquisition and an unfavorable litigation judgment in the first quarter of 2011 as discussed in note 8 to the financial statements.

Tax and audit fees increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, due to legal entity rationalization, increased audit work related to becoming an SEC registrant and professional fees related to the Corsidian acquisition.

Restructuring expense

Restructuring charges were favorable during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 as in 2011 we had a favorable adjustment of $0.1 million to an earlier severance restructuring accrual. Restructuring charges increased during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to a restructuring of the research and development organization in the first quarter of 2011 as we have rebalanced our resource profile across certain functions in order to fund additional investment in the sales and marketing functions. In addition, the Company established a presence in Ireland for operations and certain back office functions which resulted in employee related restructuring costs within other locations in the first quarter of 2011.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

The components of interest and other expense, net, were as follows:

Interest expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased primarily as a result of the $5.2 million write-off of a portion of the remaining capitalized debt financing costs of our previous credit facility in the second quarter of 2010. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates of the refinanced debt in 2011. Interest expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased primarily as a result of higher interest rates of the refinanced debt partially offset by the $5.2 million write-off of a portion of the remaining capitalized debt financing costs of our previous credit facility in the second quarter of 2010.

Exchange rate gain reflects revaluation of certain accounts, including cash, accounts receivable and intercompany balances, as well as the settlement of certain transactions, including customer invoices and intercompany, that are based in other than local currency. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, exchange rate gain was unfavorable primarily due to the fluctuation of the United States dollar against foreign currencies.

The change in other (income) expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010 is associated with the dissolution of certain legal entities in line with our legal entity rationalization.

Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010:

Effective tax rate

     22.6     25.7     (3.1     23.6     37.1     (13.5

Provision for income taxes was $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily due to an increase in income before taxes as a result of higher sales and lower interest expense. The decrease in the effective tax rate for those periods is due primarily to the foreign operations in lower tax jurisdictions, specifically, the Company’s increased operations in Ireland resulting from the Ireland distribution facility, which opened in December 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash flows from operating activities increased as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of improved net income and positive cash flows from our working capital accounts, primarily driven by the change accounts receivable due to improved cash collections as days sales outstanding improved by five days.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $9.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the Quilogy acquisition that took place in the first quarter of 2010 along with lower capital spending during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $20.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the following:

Debt Covenants

We were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants as of June 30, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (333-170936), as amended, we included a discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.” There have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements since December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates used. Our actual results have generally not differed materially from our estimates. However, we monitor such differences and, in the event that actual results are significantly different from those estimated, we disclose any related impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

During the first six months of fiscal 2011, there were only significant changes to the Revenue Recognition policy as a result of adopting ASU No. 2009-13 and ASU No. 200-14 as discussed in Note 1 and Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Quarterly Report. For a complete discussion of all other critical accounting policies,

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011 and have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
