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 nine months ended September 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 Companys 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 products 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 Companys adoption of these accounting pronouncements and the impact to the Companys 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.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASU 2011-08) that will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of early adopting ASU 2011-8 effective October 1, 2011.

Table of Contents
NOTE 2REVENUE 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 education. Revenues from license fees have been derived from sales of software products to end users through the Companys 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 managements 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 products 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 Companys 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 Companys 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, certain professional services, and education, and ESP for software licenses and hardware.
The Companys 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 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 $9.9 million and $14.3 million as revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 that would have been deferred under the previous guidance for multiple element arrangements and software revenue recognition. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
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 Companys 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 Companys return estimates to differ from actual results.
NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Corsidian was a customer contact solutions provider in the Latin American (LATAM) region with approximately 100 employees and has been a top-revenue 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 and liabilities of Corsidians Colombia entity (together, Corsidian). The total purchase price was $16.0 million, including $1.2 million relating to the settlement of certain pre-existing relationships between the Company and Corsidian. The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment which was submitted to the seller by the Company on October 20, 2011. The Company intends to finalize the working capital adjustment and continue to refine the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to completion of negotiations between the seller and the Company. The acquisition of Corsidian will provide the Company with an immediate and substantial direct presence in the LATAM region, helping to capitalize on market growth opportunities in that region. The acquisition of Corsidian was accounted for as a purchase of a business under ASC 805 Business Combinations. Accordingly, the results of Corsidian have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition were not material to the Companys financial results.

The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those values was recorded as goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon the Companys determination that several strategic and synergistic benefits are expected to be realized from the combination. None of the goodwill is expected to be currently deductible for tax purposes. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on managements estimates and assumptions, and other information compiled by management. The acquired intangible assets and goodwill are subject to review for impairment as indicators of impairment develop and otherwise at least annually (the Company performs its annual assessment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year). Purchased intangibles with finite lives will be amortized over the respective estimated useful life using a method that is based on estimated future cash flows, as the Company believes this will approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits of the asset will be utilized (approximately eight years).
Transaction costs of approximately $2.1 million related to this acquisition have been expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

In connection with the acquisition of Corsidian, $10.1 million was placed in escrow in connection with the sellers obligation to indemnify the Company for the outcome of potential contingent liabilities relating to certain tax matters, including uncertain tax positions and for certain acquired accounts receivable the Company deemed at risk of collection. The Company has recognized certain of the contingent liabilities deemed probable of occurrence and an indemnification asset relating to the escrowed amount. Absent any claims or settlements against the escrow fund, the amounts available to settle claims will be reduced and the escrow fund will be distributed to the Corsidian sellers as follows: 15% in July 2012, 20% in July 2013, 20% in July 2014, 20% in July 2015, and 25% in July 2016.

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 September 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 7DERIVATIVES
The Companys 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 $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The loss recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was de minimis.

NOTE 8INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate was 32.2% and 27.4% for the third quarter and first nine 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had accrued approximately $9.6 million and $4.6 million respectively for potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The balance at September 30, 2011 includes $4.1 million of interest and penalties related to an acquisition.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently completed an audit of the Companys 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 IRSs reallocation of certain research and development shared costs between the Companys 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 Taxesan 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 adjustments, 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 9RESTRUCTURING
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 within the next 12 months.

NOTE 10CONTINGENCIES
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 Companys 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. The parties subsequently settled this litigation for $1.7 million, which is recorded in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
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 11RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company incurred advisory fees related to management and advisory services rendered in connection with a consulting agreement entered into by parties from its majority shareholder totaling $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 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 September 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 Companys equity consolidation.
The Company invoiced a minority shareholder $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 for product and services provided to the minority shareholder. The Company did not invoice the minority shareholder during the third quarter 2011. Additionally, the Company had $3.4 million and $4.9 million of debt outstanding which was held by the minority shareholder at September 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 $1.0 million to LEC Ltd. through June 30, 2011. Additionally, the Company paid $1.0 million to LEC Ltd. during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
As of September 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 and $1.9

Item 2. Managements 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 our contact center products, 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 Microsofts 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011, net revenues increased $6.1 million and $19.1 million, respectively. Product revenue increased during the three and nine months ended September 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 $9.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in our Signature revenue of $6.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively. In addition, stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound, Euro, and Singapore dollar contributed $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, to the product revenue improvement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in 2010.
Services revenue, including consulting, implementation and education services, increased $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily driven by increased product revenues, specifically Unified IP revenues for the Americas region. Services revenue, including consulting, implementation and education services, increased $6.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to increased Unified IP revenues as well as lower purchase accounting adjustments and revenue reserve amounts recorded in the current year. Services revenue relating to maintenance increased $0.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of the Corsidian acquisition and new business in the Americas region along with stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which improved revenue by $1.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, partially offset by lower revenue from slightly decreased maintenance contract renewals primarily in the Europe and Africa region.

The increase in Americas net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 is a result of increased product, professional services, and maintenance revenue of $4.9 million, $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The increase in product revenue is primarily driven by improved growth product revenues primarily as a result of existing customer migrations from their Signature products to our growth products. The increase in professional services revenue is primarily due to increased product revenues specifically for Unified IP as well as the higher attach rates from our growth products as compared to our signature product. The increase in maintenance revenue is primarily a result of the Corsidian acquisition in July. Net revenues in Europe and Africa decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year with decreases in product revenue resulting from continued European economic uncertainty and lower maintenance revenue resulting from decreased maintenance contract renewals. These declines were partially offset by stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which increased revenue by $1.4 million. Net revenues in Asia Pacific decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year with decreases in product revenue resulting from continued tough economic times and decreased maintenance revenue from customers. These declines were partially offset by stronger foreign currencies, primarily the Singapore and Australian dollar, which increased revenue by $0.9 million.
The increase in Americas net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is a result of increased product, professional services, and maintenance revenue of $2.1 million, $5.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The increase in product revenue is driven by improved growth product revenue. The increase in professional services revenue is primarily due to increased Unified IP revenues as well as lower purchase accounting adjustments and revenue reserve amounts in the current year. The improvement in maintenance revenue is a result of the Corsidian acquisition in July and new business. Increased net revenues in Europe and Africa for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily driven by improved product sales as we had three additional customers with product revenue of over $1.0 million and more new logo revenue from the prior year, combined with stronger foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and Euro, which increased revenue by $4.7 million. These improvements were partially offset by decreased maintenance revenue resulting from lost and delayed contract renewals. The increase in Asia Pacific net revenues related primarily to improved maintenance revenue combined with stronger foreign currencies, mainly the Australian and Singapore dollars, increasing revenue by $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Despite higher product revenue, product-related costs decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 and only slightly increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of increased levels of our higher margin Unified IP and Workforce Optimization products. Manufacturing operation costs increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased freight costs as a result of higher fuel costs as well as increased shipping costs related to stocking the Companys new Ireland distribution center.

Cost of services revenue increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to increased salary, benefits and other employee costs related to higher staffing to support the higher revenue levels, staffing related to the Corsidian acquisition, and increased travel. IT allocations increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of a proportional increase in services headcount as we have rebalanced our resource profile across certain functions in order to fund additional investment in sales, including professional services personnel, to be well positioned for the growth in the unified communications market. Software support costs increased in proportion with increased support revenues.

The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to higher commissions, increased labor costs mostly related to the Corsidian acquisition, increased travel, deal transaction costs, and bad debt. These increased costs are partially offset by lower labor costs due to reduced staffing in the research and development group.
The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to higher commissions, increased labor costs mostly related to the Corsidian acquisition, increased travel and other employee related costs, and increased deal transaction costs, bad debt, legal fees, marketing, and restructuring charges. These increased costs are partially offset by lower labor costs due to reduced staffing in the research and development group along with 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.

The decrease in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was due to lower salary, benefits and other employee costs, which decreased primarily due to reduced staffing as a result of the restructuring in the research and development group in the first quarter of 2011.

Salary, benefits and other employee costs increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to higher commissions resulting from certain larger deals that closed in the current quarter and increased labor costs mostly related to the Corsidian acquisition. Salary, benefits and other employee costs decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to 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. These decreased costs were partially offset by higher commissions resulting from certain larger deals that closed in the current quarter and labor costs mostly related to the Corsidian acquisition along with 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 months ended September 30, 2011, discretionary marketing expenses were lower than for the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of decreased web marketing and user conference expenses partially offset by increased corporate projects, trade show, and public relations expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, discretionary marketing expenses were higher than for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of increased trade show, promotional materials, corporate projects, and public relations expenses partially offset by decreased user conference expenses.
Legal fees increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 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 10 to the financial statements.
Tax and audit fees increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to professional fees related to the Corsidian acquisition. Tax and audit fees increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to our efforts to rationalize and streamline our legal entity structure, increased audit work related to becoming an SEC registrant, and professional fees related to the Corsidian acquisition.
The change in bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is driven by lower bad debt expense in 2010 due to reversal of expenses as a result of successful collection efforts on certain receivables that were previously reserved

Restructuring charges decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 as in 2011 we had a favorable adjustment of $0.1 million to a previously recorded severance accrual. Restructuring charges increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 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 expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased primarily as a result of lower debt levels resulting from $11.5 million of principal payments since September 30, 2010. In addition, settlement of litigation contributed $0.2 million to the decrease in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, exchange rate gain was favorable primarily due to the fluctuation of the United States dollar against foreign currencies.
The change in other (income) expense for the three and nine months ended September 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.

The decrease in provision for income taxes for both the three and nine month periods is primarily due to the release of ASC 740-10 reserves for research and development credits which were released during the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate for those periods is primarily due to foreign operations in lower tax jurisdictions, specifically, the Companys increased operations in Aspect Ireland.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash flows from operating activities increased as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of improved net income and increases in the change in accrued liabilities and accounts payable partially offset by a decrease in the change in other current assets and other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the higher acquisition costs of Corsidian, which was acquired for $12.9 million, net of cash acquired, versus the Quilogy acquisition that took place in the first quarter of 2010 of $8.2 million. In addition, there was lower capital spending during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Debt Covenants
We were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants as of September 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 Managements 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 nine 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, refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-170936), as amended.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks
During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risks in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-170936), as amended, for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.
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 September 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 Commissions 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 September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
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 the Risk Factors section included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-170936), as amended, for a more complete discussion regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
