Potential common shares consist of the shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and the exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The Company’s unvested RSUs are not considered participating securities as they do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents prior to release. In addition, the Company’s unexercised stock options and SARs are not considered participating securities as they do not have rights to dividends or dividend equivalents prior to exercise. Class A common stock equivalents of approximately 2.3 million and 2.2 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive. Class B common stock equivalents of approximately 0.3 million and 0.4 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive. Class A common stock equivalents of approximately 2.2 million and 2.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive. Class B common stock equivalents of approximately 0.5 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 were not included in the diluted calculation because their effects were anti-dilutive.

3. 
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

When determining fair value, the Company uses a three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  Whenever possible, the Company uses observable market data. The Company relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available.  Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Money market mutual funds are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices and are therefore included in Level 1.  The liability related to the interest rate swap is recorded at fair value based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves, and is therefore included in Level 2.

The following table sets forth the financial assets and liabilites measured at fair value, as of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012:

Money market mutual funds are classified as part of “Cash and equivalents” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the amount of cash and equivalents included cash deposited with commercial banks of $23.7 million and $28.7 million as of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012, respectively.

There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the six months ended July 31, 2012.

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

Derivative Instruments

The Company entered into an interest rate swap in May 2012 to mitigate the exposure to the variability in one month LIBOR for its floating rate debt described in Note 7 “Debt” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  The fair value of the interest rate swap is reflected as an asset or liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the change in fair value is reported in “Other (income) expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based upon forward interest rates at the balance sheet date.  A valuation statement is provided by the counterparty to the swap.

The fair values of the derivative instrument at July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On June 6, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of DynaSys S.A. ("DynaSys"), a provider of supply chain planning software solutions.  DynaSys was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Strasbourg, France. The total purchase price of $7.5 million was paid in cash on June 6, 2012. In connection with the acquisition, the Company placed $0.6 million of the purchase price into escrow to satisfy any claims for indemnification made in accordance with the terms of the stock purchase agreement. Any remaining funds will be disbursed to DynaSys’ former shareholders six months after the acquisition date.  The Company completed the acquisition for the purpose of expanding its product offerings and driving revenue growth.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

The Company has preliminarily determined that certain of these pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date and, accordingly, has recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as a part of the purchase price allocation. The Company continues to gather information and evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed. If the Company makes changes to the amounts recorded or identifies additional pre-acquisition contingencies during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts recorded will be included in the purchase price allocation.

The results of DynaSys operations are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition was not deemed material, thus pro forma supplemental information has not been provided.

   Less accumulated amortization
    (547 )     (611 )
   Capitalized software costs, net
  $ 2,334     $ 583  

Acquired software technology costs relate to technology purchased from the Company’s second quarter fiscal 2013 acquisition of DynaSys, as described in Note 4 “Business Combinations” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the acquired software technology, the Company has capitalized costs related to translations and localizations of QAD Enterprise Applications.

It is the Company’s policy to write off capitalized software development costs once fully amortized. Accordingly, during the first six months of fiscal 2013, $0.3 million of costs and accumulated amortization was removed from the balance sheet. Amortization of capitalized software costs was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, amortization of capitalized software costs was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs is included in “Cost of license fees” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Balance at July 31, 2012
  $ 24,347     $ (15,608 )   $ 8,739  

Additions to goodwill relate to the Company’s second quarter fiscal 2013 acquisition of DynaSys due to the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of acquired net assets. For further explanation of acquisition related transactions, see Note 4 “Business Combinations” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company monitors the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. No adverse events occurred during the six months ended July 31, 2012 that would cause the Company to test goodwill for impairment.

The Company’s intangible assets as of July 31, 2012 are related to the DynaSys acquisition completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Intangible assets are included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of July 31, 2012, excluding goodwill, all of the Company’s intangible assets were determined to have finite useful lives, and therefore were subject to amortization.

Amortization of intangible assets was $57,000 for the both the three and six months ended July 31, 2012. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, amortization of intangible assets was zero and $14,000, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is included in “General and administrative” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Note Payable

In July 2004, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC, a limited liability company wholly owned by QAD Inc. (“QAD Ortega Hill, LLC”), entered into a loan agreement (the “2004 Mortgage”) with Rabobank, N.A. The 2004 Mortgage had an original principal amount of $18.0 million and bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%. The 2004 Mortgage was secured by the Company’s headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. The terms of the 2004 Mortgage provided for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make 119 monthly payments of $115,000 consisting of principal and interest and one final principal payment of $15.4 million. The 2004 Mortgage was scheduled to mature in July 2014. The 2004 Mortgage was refinanced on May 30, 2012 as described below. The unpaid balance as of the date of the refinance was $16.1 million.

Effective May 30, 2012, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the “2012 Mortgage”) with Rabobank, N.A., to refinance the 2004 Mortgage.  The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%.  One month LIBOR was 0.25% at July 31, 2012.  The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by the Company’s headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California.  In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount of $16.1 million and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of July 31, 2012 was $16.0 million.

Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provided a one-year commitment through July 15, 2012 for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bore interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 0.75%. On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Facility. The amendment extended the maturity of the Facility from July 15, 2012 to July 15, 2014. The amendment did not provide for any change in the variable rate of interest or debt covenants.
 
 
9


The Facility provides that the Company maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. At July 31, 2012, the effective borrowing rate would have been 1.0%.

As of July 31, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Facility and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

8. 
INCOME TAXES

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.6 million at July 31, 2012. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. This liability is classified as long-term unless the liability is expected to conclude within twelve months of the reporting date.  In the next twelve months, due to potential settlements with both foreign and domestic tax authorities related to tax credits and deductions, an estimated $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of July 31, 2012, the Company has accrued approximately $0.2 million of interest and penalty expense relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax returns that are subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company is currently under audit in India for fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1999, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and in California for fiscal years ended 2004 and 2005.

(1)
The expected life of SARs granted under the stock-based compensation plans is based on historical vested stock option and SAR exercise and post-vest forfeiture patterns and includes an estimate of the expected term for stock options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding.

(2)
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of SARs in effect at the time of grant.

(3)
The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for a period equivalent to the expected life of the SARs, which it believes is representative of the expected volatility over the expected life of the SARs.

(4)
The Company expects to continue paying quarterly dividends at the same rate as the three months ending on July 31, 2012.

(1)
The expected-to-vest SARs are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding SARs.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock based on the last trading day as of July 31, 2012 and the exercise price for in-the-money stock options and SARs) that would have been received by the holders if all stock options and SARs had been exercised on July 31, 2012. The total intrinsic value of stock options or SARs exercised in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 was $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options or SARs exercised in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of SARs granted in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 was $5.38.  The weighted average grant date fair value per share of SARs granted in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 was $4.15 and $4.14, respectively.

The number of SARs exercised includes shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.  During the three months ended July 31, 2012, the Company withheld 7,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $90,000. During the six months ended July 31, 2012, the Company withheld 26,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $353,000.

At July 31, 2012, there was approximately $6.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SARs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.9 years.

RSU Information

The estimated fair value of RSUs was calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends foregone during the vesting period.

The Company withholds, at the employee’s election, a portion of the vested shares as consideration for the Company’s payment of applicable employee income taxes. During the three months ended July 31, 2012, the Company withheld 30,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $359,000. During the six months ended July 31, 2012, the Company withheld 35,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $433,000.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs was approximately $3.6 million as of July 31, 2012. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.0 years.

11. 
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnifications

The Company sells software licenses and services to its customers under written agreements. Each agreement contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event the Company’s software is found to infringe upon certain intellectual property rights of a third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects.

The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to the indemnification provisions of the agreements. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the agreements, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions.

Legal Actions

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
12. 
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company markets its products and services worldwide, primarily to companies in the manufacturing industry, including the automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences industries. The Company sells and licenses its products in four geographic regions: North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia Pacific and Latin America. The North America region includes the United States and Canada. The EMEA region includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific region includes Asia and Australia. The Latin America region includes South America, Central America and Mexico.

License and subscription revenues are assigned to the geographic regions based on the proportion of commissions earned by each region. Maintenance revenue is allocated to the region where the end user customer is located. Services revenue is assigned based on the region where the services are performed.

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2012, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

QAD Inc. (“QAD”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a global provider of enterprise software applications, and related services and support. QAD provides enterprise software applications to global manufacturing companies primarily in the automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences industries. Over 2,500 global manufacturing companies use QAD software and we employ approximately 1,600 people worldwide. QAD was founded in 1979, incorporated in California in 1986 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1997.

QAD’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) suite is QAD Enterprise Applications, which is also known as MFG/PRO. QAD Enterprise Applications supports the core business processes of our global manufacturing customers and includes the following functional areas: financials, customer management, manufacturing, supply chain, service and support, enterprise asset management, transportation management and analytics.

QAD offers two deployment models: On Premise and On Demand. With the On Premise model, QAD sells a perpetual license for the software and our customers then deploy the software on their own computer servers. Under the perpetual licensing model, customers may separately purchase contracts for maintenance and additional services. With QAD’s On Demand deployment model, customers subscribe to a service and QAD provides access to the software as well as ongoing support services and management of the environment. The majority of QAD’s customers use the On Premise model, although On Demand is increasing in acceptance and, as a result, it is a deployment model we are focusing on expanding.

Despite continued global economic uncertainties and geopolitical concerns, we have continued to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations. Total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $124.7 million, a $3.3 million, or 3%, increase from the first six months of fiscal 2012.  Cash flows from operations were $11.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to $13.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012.  Our headcount has increased 10% year over year due to hiring in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and also due to our acquisition of DynaSys. Personnel expenses are the primary driver of our increase in expenses year over year. While our year-to-date financial metrics are positive, our revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was lower than our revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Due to the decrease in revenue in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we have initiated cost containment measures across all discretionary spending categories and will monitor our costs in the second half of fiscal 2013.  Our business model and long-term results are not immune to a sustained economic downturn. The direction and relative strength of the global economy makes it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments.

Net income was $2.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to $4.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012.  Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was negatively impacted by a noncash mark-to-market adjustment of $0.9 million from an interest rate swap associated with the mortgage on our corporate headquarters.  We believe it is prudent to hedge the expected volatility of our variable rate mortgage. The swap fixes the interest rate to 4.31% over the entire term of the mortgage and effectively lowers our interest rate on the mortgage from 6.5%.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013 we acquired DynaSys S.A., a French company with 40 employees that provides a supply chain planning solution which is complementary to our software.  Included in our second quarter results is $1.1 million of revenue and $1.2 million of costs attributable to DynaSys. We believe the DynaSys product, combined with our own software, will benefit many of our global customers striving to improve their supply chain effectiveness.

We have consistently focused on maintaining financial strength by preserving a strong balance sheet and managing costs. We ended the second quarter of fiscal 2013 with $73.8 million in cash and equivalents, down from $76.9 million at January 31, 2012.  The decrease in cash and equivalents was primarily driven by our recent acquisition funded entirely through cash on hand. In addition, we continue to make share repurchases and issue quarterly dividends.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they conform to general practices in our industry. We apply critical accounting policies consistently from period to period and intend that any change in methodology occur in an appropriate manner. Accounting policies currently deemed critical, including a) revenue recognition; b) accounts receivable allowances for bad debt and sales returns; c) valuation of deferred tax assets and tax contingency reserves; and d) stock-based compensation are further discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 12 “Business Segment Information” within Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In order to present our results of operations without the effects of changes in foreign currency, we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency basis”, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented in the following tables. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period to the current period results.

Total Revenue. Total revenue was $61.0 million and $62.0 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, total revenue for the current quarter would have been approximately $63.6 million, representing a $1.6 million, or 3%, increase from the same period last year. When comparing categories within total revenue at constant rates, our current quarter results included an increase in our subscription and professional services revenue categories and a decrease in our license and maintenance and other revenue categories. Revenue outside the North America region as a percentage of total revenue was 57% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to 59% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  Total revenue increased in our North America and EMEA regions offset by decreases in our Asia Pacific and Latin America regions during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year. The acquisition of DynaSys added $1.1 million to total revenue in our EMEA region. Our products are sold to manufacturing companies that operate mainly in the following six industries: automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences. Given the similarities between food and beverage and consumer products as well as between high technology and industrial products, we aggregate them for management review. Revenue by industry for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was approximately 26% in automotive, 22% in consumer products and food and beverage, 35% in high technology and industrial products and 17% in life sciences. In comparison, revenue by industry for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was approximately 31% in automotive, 23% in consumer products and food and beverage, 33% in high technology and industrial products and 13% in life sciences. The increase in life sciences was primarily due to increased services revenue as license revenue remained fairly consistent during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year. Automotive decreased due to both a lower amount of license deals and fewer services engagements quarter over quarter.

Total revenue was $124.7 million and $121.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $128.3 million, representing a $6.9 million, or 6%, increase from the same period last year. When comparing categories within total revenue at constant rates, our first six months results included increases in all revenue categories. Revenue outside the North America region as a percentage of total revenue was 56% for the first six months of fiscal 2013, as compared to 58% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Total revenue increased in our North America region, remained relatively unchanged in our EMEA region and decreased in our Asia Pacific and Latin America regions during the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same six months last year.  Revenue by industry for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was approximately 28% in automotive, 22% in consumer products and food and beverage, 34% in high technology and industrial products and 16% in life sciences. In comparison, revenue by industry for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was approximately 30% in automotive, 23% in consumer products and food and beverage, 34% in high technology and industrial products and 13% in life sciences. The increase in life sciences was primarily due to increased services revenue as license revenue remained fairly consistent during the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period last year. Automotive decreased due to both a lower amount of license deals and fewer services engagements period over period.

License Revenue.  License revenue was $6.9 million and $8.6 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, license revenue for the current quarter would have been approximately $7.1 million, representing a $1.5 million, or 17%, decrease from the same period last year. Excluding $0.5 million of revenue recognized related to our DynaSys acquisition, license revenue decreased across all geographic regions in which we operate during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year, which we believe is primarily a result of the slowdown in the global manufacturing economy. One of the metrics that management uses to measure license revenue performance is the number of customers that have placed sizable license orders in the period. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, two customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and no orders exceeded $1.0 million. This compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 when three customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and no orders exceeded $1.0 million.

License revenue was $14.8 million and $14.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, license revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $15.1 million, representing a $0.2 million, or 1%, increase from the same period last year. Excluding $0.5 million of revenue recognized related to our DynaSys acquisition, license revenue increased in our North America and Asia Pacific regions offset by decreases in our EMEA and Latin America regions during the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period last year. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, five customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and no orders exceeded $1.0 million. This compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 when six customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and no orders exceeded $1.0 million.

Maintenance and Other Revenue. Maintenance and other revenue was $33.9 million and $35.4 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, maintenance and other revenue for the current quarter would have been approximately $35.0 million, representing a $0.4 million, or 1%, decrease from the same period last year. Excluding $0.2 million of revenue recognized related to our DynaSys acquisition, maintenance and other revenue decreased across our North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America regions and increased in our EMEA region during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter of the prior year. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we benefited from revenue recognized related to maintenance provided in previous periods where we had not met the required revenue recognition criteria until the period ended July 31, 2011.

Maintenance and other revenue was $68.4 million and $69.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, maintenance and other revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $69.9 million, representing a $0.2 million, or 0.3%, increase from the same period last year. Excluding $0.2 million of revenue recognized related to our DynaSys acquisition, maintenance and other revenue increased in our EMEA region, was relatively flat in our North America region and decreased in our Latin America and Asia Pacific regions during the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period last year.
 
We track our rate of contract renewals by determining the number of customer sites with active contracts as of the end of the previous reporting period and comparing this to the number of customers that renewed, or are in the process of renewing, their maintenance contracts as of the current period end. Our maintenance contract renewal rate for the second quarter and the first six months of both fiscal 2013 and 2012 was in excess of 90%.
 
Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue was $3.7 million and $2.3 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, subscription revenue for the current quarter would have been $3.8 million, representing a $1.5 million, or 65%, increase from the same period last year.  Subscription revenue increased in our North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific regions and remained flat in our Latin America region during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in subscription revenue was due to additional revenue related to our On Demand product offering.  Currently, a majority of our On Demand sales are in the North America region. We expect the growth of subscription revenue in the future to be primarily attributable to growth in our On Demand product offering.

Subscription revenue was $7.0 million and $4.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, subscription revenue for the current period would have been unchanged at $7.0 million, representing a $2.5 million, or 56%, increase from the same period last year.  Subscription revenue increased in our North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific regions and remained flat in our Latin America region during the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period last year. The increase in subscription revenue was due to additional revenue related to our On Demand product offering.  Currently, a majority of our On Demand sales are in the North America region. We expect the growth of subscription revenue in the future to be primarily attributable to growth in our On Demand product offering.

Professional Services Revenue.  Professional services revenue was $16.4 million and $15.7 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, professional services revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $17.6 million, representing a $1.9 million, or 12%, increase from the same period last year. Excluding $0.4 million of revenue recognized related to our DynaSys acquisition, professional services revenue increased in our North America, EMEA and Latin America regions offset by a decrease in our Asia Pacific region during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year.  The increase in professional services revenue quarter over quarter can be attributed to a higher number of engagements in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year.

Professional services revenue was $34.5 million and $32.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, professional services revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $36.2 million, representing a $4.0 million, or 12%, increase from the same period last year. Excluding $0.4 million of revenue recognized related to our DynaSys acquisition, professional services revenue increased in our North America, EMEA and Latin America regions offset by a decrease in our Asia Pacific region during the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period last year.  The increase in professional services revenue period over period can be attributed to a higher number of engagements in the first six months of fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period last year as well as the recognition of previously deferred revenue related to one customer contract of $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  The costs related to this customer contract had been expensed in previous periods.

Total cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue (combined cost of license fees, cost of maintenance, subscription and other and cost of professional services) was $27.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and $26.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, and as a percentage of total revenue was 44% and 43% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, total cost of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $28.6 million, representing an increase of $1.8 million, or 7%. The non-currency related increase in cost of revenue of $1.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher hosting costs and higher personnel costs associated with higher subscription revenue, as well as higher third-party contractor costs associated with higher professional services revenues.

Total cost of revenue (combined cost of license fees, cost of maintenance, subscription and other and cost of professional services) was $53.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and $52.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012, and as a percentage of total revenue was 43% and 44% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, total cost of revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2012 would have been approximately $55.8 million, representing an increase of $2.9 million, or 5%. The non-currency related increase in cost of revenue of $2.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher hosting costs and higher personnel costs associated with higher subscription revenue, as well as higher third-party contractor costs associated with higher professional services revenues.

Cost of License Fees.  Cost of license fees was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, cost of license fees for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been $0.9 million, representing a decrease of $0.1 million, or 10%. The non-currency related decrease in cost of license fees of $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was due to lower license royalties associated with lower license revenue. Cost of license fees as a percentage of license revenue was consistent at 12% for each of the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012.

Cost of license fees was $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, cost of license fees for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been unchanged at $1.7 million, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 15%. The non-currency related decrease in cost of license fees of $0.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was due to lower license royalties and lower amortization of capitalized software costs.  Cost of license fees as a percentage of license revenue was 12% and 14% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

Cost of Maintenance, Subscription and Other.  Cost of maintenance, subscription and other was $10.3 million and $9.1 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, cost of maintenance, subscription and other for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $10.7 million, representing an increase of $1.6 million, or 18%. The non-currency related increase in cost of maintenance, subscription and other of $1.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher subscription costs, which included higher personnel costs of $0.9 million as a result of higher headcount of approximately 25 people and higher hosting costs of $0.3 million. Cost of maintenance, subscription and other as a percentage of maintenance, subscription and other revenues were 27% and 24% for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.  The increase is attributable to subscription costs increasing at a higher rate than revenue primarily due to increased costs related to transitioning customers to On Demand.

Cost of maintenance, subscription and other was $20.3 million and $17.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, cost of maintenance, subscription and other for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $20.9 million, representing an increase of $3.1 million, or 17%. The non-currency related increase in cost of maintenance, subscription and other of $3.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher subscription costs, which included higher personnel costs of $1.6 million as a result of higher headcount of approximately 25 people and higher hosting costs of $0.4 million. Cost of maintenance, subscription and other as a percentage of maintenance and other and subscription fees revenues were 27% and 24% in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, cost of professional services for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $17.0 million, representing an increase of $0.3 million, or 2%. The non-currency related increase in cost of professional services of $0.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was due primarily to higher third-party contractor costs of $0.7 million partially offset by lower services personnel costs of $0.2 million and lower bonuses of $0.2 million.  Cost of professional services as a percentage of professional services revenues was 96% and 107% for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

Cost of professional services was $31.6 million and $33.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Sales and marketing expense includes salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and travel expense for our sales and marketing employees in addition to costs of programs aimed at increasing revenue, such as trade shows, user group events, advertising and various sales and promotional programs. Sales and marketing expense also includes personnel costs of order processing, sales agent fees and an allocation of information technology and facilities costs.

Sales and marketing expense was $14.7 million and $13.9 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, sales and marketing expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $15.5 million, representing an increase of $1.6 million, or 12%. The non-currency related increase in sales and marketing expense of $1.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher personnel costs of $1.2 million as a result of higher headcount of approximately 40 people, higher travel costs of $0.3 million, higher commissions of $0.2 million and higher costs related to our annual Explore customer event of $0.2 million partially offset by lower bonuses of $0.3 million.

Sales and marketing expense was $30.2 million and $28.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, sales and marketing expense for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $31.2 million, representing an increase of $2.8 million, or 10%. The non-currency related increase in sales and marketing expense of $2.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher personnel costs of $1.4 million as a result of higher headcount of approximately 40 people, higher travel costs of $0.6 million, higher professional fees of $0.2 million, higher sales agent fees of $0.2 million and higher costs related to our annual Explore customer event of $0.2 million.

Research and development expense is expensed as incurred and consists primarily of salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and travel expense for research and development employees, professional services, such as fees paid to software development firms and independent contractors, and training for such personnel. Research and development expense also includes an allocation of information technology and facilities costs, and is reduced by income from joint development projects.

Research and development expense was consistent at $9.2 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, research and development expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $9.6 million, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 4%. The non-currency related increase in research and development expense of $0.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher personnel expenses of $0.6 million as a result of higher headcount of approximately 30 people, primarily due to increased internationalization efforts and the incremental increase in headcount as a result of the DynaSys acquisition.

Research and development expense was $18.7 million and $17.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, research and development expense for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $19.2 million, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 8%. The non-currency related increase in research and development expense of $1.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher personnel expenses of $1.1 million as a result of higher headcount of approximately 30 people, primarily due to increased internationalization efforts and the incremental increase in headcount as a result of the DynaSys acquisition as well as lower joint development income of $0.5 million.  These increases were partially offset by lower bonuses of $0.2 million.

Included as a reduction of research and development expense for the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 was joint development income of $0.5 million per quarter related to a project which will conclude in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.  We expect to recognize $0.3 million of income from this project in the third quarter. As part of our vertical focus we regularly seek to engage in joint development arrangements with our customers in order to enhance specific functionality and industry experience, although the number and size of joint development arrangements may fluctuate.

General and administrative expense includes salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and travel expense for our finance, human resources, legal and executive personnel, as well as professional fees for accounting and legal services, bad debt expense and an allocation of information technology and facilities costs.

General and administrative expense was $8.4 million and $7.4 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, general and administrative expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $8.7 million, representing an increase of $1.3 million, or 18%. The non-currency related increase in general and administrative expense of $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to an internal system upgrade project of $0.4 million, higher stock compensation expense of $0.3 million and higher personnel expenses of $0.2 million. In addition, the second quarter of fiscal 2013 included professional fees of $0.2 million related to the DynaSys acquisition.

General and administrative expense was $16.5 million and $15.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Holding foreign currency exchange rates constant to fiscal 2012, general and administrative expense for the first six months of fiscal 2013 would have been approximately $16.8 million, representing an increase of $1.7 million, or 11%. The non-currency related increase in general and administrative expense of $1.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to an internal system upgrade project of $0.9 million, higher personnel expenses of $0.2 million and higher stock compensation expense of $0.2 million. Fiscal 2013 included professional fees of $0.2 million related to the DynaSys acquisition.

Net other (income) expense was $0.3 million and $(0.2) million for the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. The unfavorable change is primarily related to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap entered into during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of $0.9 million partially offset by higher foreign exchange gains of $(0.2) million and a government subsidy paid to one of our subsidiaries of $(0.2) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net other (income) expense was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. The unfavorable change is primarily related to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap entered into during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of $0.9 million partially offset by lower foreign exchange losses of $(0.6) million and a government subsidy paid to one of our subsidiaries of $(0.2) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Interest rate swap valuations and foreign exchange gains and losses are subject to changes which are inherently unpredictable.

We recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million and $1.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Our effective tax rate decreased to 26% during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 37% for the same period in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to a smaller equity compensation shortfall in the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. Shortfalls result when the estimated equity compensation recorded on the books is greater than the actual tax deduction.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million and $2.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Our effective tax rate increased to 40% from 37% for the same period in the prior year. We expect our full year tax rate to be approximately 40%.

The Company benefits from operating in foreign locations, such as Ireland, due to the lower statutory income tax rate relative to the U.S. federal and state tax rate. This benefit is significantly reduced by withholding taxes and foreign base company sales and services income that is taxed both in the U.S. and in the foreign jurisdiction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of cash is from the sale of licenses, maintenance, subscription and professional services to our customers. Our primary use of cash is payment of our operating expenses which mainly consist of employee-related expenses, such as compensation and benefits, as well as general operating expenses for facilities and overhead costs. In addition to operating expenses, we also use cash for capital expenditures and to invest in our growth initiatives, which include acquisitions of products, technology and businesses, as well as payments of dividends or stock repurchases.  Due to the slowdown in the global manufacturing economy and lower second quarter revenue in comparison to the first quarter, we have initiated cost containment measures across our discretionary spending categories.

At July 31, 2012, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and equivalents totaling $73.8 million and net accounts receivable of $36.3 million. At July 31, 2012, our cash and equivalents consisted of current bank accounts, registered money market funds and time delineated deposits. Approximately 80% of our cash and equivalents were held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts as of July 31, 2012 and as of January 31, 2012. We have a U.S. line of credit facility with Rabobank that permits unsecured short-term borrowings of up to $20 million. Our line of credit agreement contains customary covenants that could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness.  Our line of credit is available for working capital or other business needs. We have not drawn on the line of credit during any of the last three fiscal years nor do we expect to draw on the line of credit during fiscal 2013.

Our primary commercial banking relationship is with Bank of America and its global affiliates. Our cash and equivalents are held by diversified financial institutions globally, and as of July 31, 2012 the portion of our cash and equivalents held by or invested through Bank of America was approximately 80%.  The majority of our cash and equivalents are held in investment accounts which are predominantly placed in money market mutual funds invested in US Treasury and government securities.  The remaining cash and equivalents are held in deposit accounts and certificates of deposit.

The amount of cash and equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries was $61.6 million and $58.9 million as of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012, respectively.  If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., and if U.S. tax has not already been previously provided, we would be required to accrue and pay taxes in the U.S. to repatriate these funds.  However, our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate funds permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries for our operations in the U.S.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities was $11.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to $13.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012. The $1.9 million decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities was due primarily to the negative cashflow effect of changes in deferred revenue and other liabilities of $4.0 million and the negative cashflow effect of changes in net income of $1.3 million partially offset by the positive cashflow effect of changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable of $4.3 million.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we acquired DynaSys S.A., a French company with a supply chain planning solution that is complementary to our software. The total purchase price was $4.7 million, net of acquired cash of $2.8 million, and was funded entirely with cash on hand.

Capital expenditures were $2.0 million for both the first six months of fiscal 2013 and the first six months of fiscal 2012.  Capital expenditures related primarily to purchases of computer equipment and leasehold improvements in both periods. We expect capital expenditures in the second half of fiscal 2013 to remain fairly consistent with the first half of fiscal 2013. We continue to monitor our capital spending and do not believe we are delaying critical capital expenditures required to run our business.

Dividend-related payments for the first six months of fiscal 2013 totaled $1.8 million compared to $0.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. Our dividend program allows shareholders the choice of stock or cash. The number of shares issued to holders of record as a stock dividend is calculated based on the average closing price of QAD’s Class A common stock for the three trading days immediately following the election deadline. On September 22, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a 20 percent increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.072 per share of Class A common stock and $0.060 per share of Class B common stock. The Board of Directors evaluates our ability to continue to pay dividends on a quarterly basis.

On September 22, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorizes management to purchase up to one million shares of the Company's Class A and/or Class B shares of common stock through open market transactions. The plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first six months of fiscal 2013 we repurchased 266,000 and 30,000 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, for total consideration of $3.9 million. There was no stock repurchase-related activity during the first six months of fiscal 2012.  Since inception of the plan in October of 2011 we have repurchased 601,000 and 71,000 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, for total consideration of $8.2 million.  The remaining number of shares available for purchase under the plan was 328,000 at July 31, 2012.

We have historically calculated accounts receivable days’ sales outstanding (“DSO”), using the countback, or last-in first-out, method. This method calculates the number of days of billed revenue represented by the accounts receivable balance as of period end. When reviewing the performance of our entities, DSO under the countback method is used by management. It is management’s belief that the countback method best reflects the relative health of our accounts receivable as of a given quarter-end or year-end because of the cyclical nature of our billings. Our billing cycle includes high annual maintenance renewal billings at year-end that will not be recognized as earned revenue until future periods.

DSO under the countback method was 52 days at both July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012, compared to 57 days at July 31, 2011. The decrease in DSO under the count-back method as of July 31, 2012, when compared to July 31, 2011, was related to improved cash collections as a percent of our available accounts receivable balance. DSO using the average method, which is calculated utilizing the accounts receivable balance and earned revenue for the most recent quarter, was 54 days at July 31, 2012, compared to 89 days at January 31, 2012 and 61 days at July 31, 2011.  We believe our reserve methodology is adequate and our reserves are properly stated as of July 31, 2012. We will continue to monitor our receivables.

 
24


Cash requirements for items other than normal operating expenses are anticipated for capital expenditures and dividend payments. We may require cash for acquisitions of new businesses, software products or technologies complementary to our business.

We believe that the cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities and the available borrowings under our existing credit facility will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our current and long-term working capital requirements, debt service, dividend payments and other cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

A summary of future obligations under our various contractual obligations and commitments as of January 31, 2012 was disclosed in our fiscal 2012 10-K.  During the six months ended July 31, 2012 there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations or commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business, except as described below.

Note Payable

In July 2004 we entered into a loan agreement (the “2004 Mortgage”) with Rabobank, N.A. The 2004 Mortgage had an original principal amount of $18.0 million and bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%. The 2004 Mortgage was secured by our headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. The terms of the 2004 Mortgage provided for us to make 119 monthly payments of $115,000 consisting of principal and interest and one final principal payment of $15.4 million. The 2004 Mortgage was scheduled to mature in July 2014. The 2004 mortgage was refinanced on May 30, 2012 as described below.  The unpaid balance as of the date of the refinance was $16.1 million.

Effective May 30, 2012, we entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the “2012 Mortgage”) with Rabobank, N.A., to refinance the 2004 Mortgage.  The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%.  One month LIBOR was 0.25% at July 31, 2012.  The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by our headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California.  In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, we entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount and schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for us to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of July 31, 2012 was $16.0 million.

Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides a one-year commitment through July 15, 2012 for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs. We will pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 0.75%. On July 13, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Facility. The amendment extended the maturity of the Facility from July 15, 2012 to July 15, 2014. The amendment did not provide for any change in the interest rate or debt covenants.

The Facility provides that we maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At July 31, 2012, the effective borrowing rate would have been 1.0%.
 
 
25


As of July 31, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Facility and we were in compliance with the financial covenants.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Rates. We have operations in foreign locations around the world and we are exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currencies for which we currently have the most significant exposure are the euro, Brazilian real, Australian dollar and Japanese yen. These foreign currency exchange rate movements could create a foreign currency gain or loss that could be realized or unrealized for us. Unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies may have an adverse impact on our operations. We did not have any foreign currency forward or option contracts or other material foreign currency denominated derivatives or other financial instruments open as of July 31, 2012.

We face two risks related to foreign currency exchange rates—translation risk and transaction risk. Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in foreign currencies translate into higher or lower revenues and expenses in U.S. dollars as the U.S. dollar weakens or strengthens against other currencies. Our international subsidiaries hold U.S. dollar and euro-based net monetary accounts subject to revaluation that results in realized or unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Furthermore, we have exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations arising from the remeasurement of non-functional currency assets, liabilities and intercompany balances into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.

For the six months ended July, 2012 and 2011, approximately 40% of our revenue was denominated in foreign currencies. We also incurred a significant portion of our expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, approximately 45% for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. Based on a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in all foreign currency exchange rates, our operating income would be adversely affected by approximately 10% (our expenses would be adversely affected by approximately 5% of total expenses, partially offset by a positive effect on our revenue of approximately 4% of total revenue).

For the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, foreign currency transaction and remeasurement (gains) losses totaled $(9,000) and $546,000, respectively, and are included in “Other (income) expense, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. We performed a sensitivity analysis on the net U.S. dollar and euro-based monetary accounts subject to revaluation that are held by our international subsidiaries and on the non-functional currency assets, liabilities and intercompany balances that are remeasured into U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in all foreign currency exchange rates would result in foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses of approximately $0.9 million and our income before taxes would be adversely affected by approximately 20%.

These estimates assume an adverse shift in all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, which do not always move in the same direction or in the same degrees, and actual results may differ materially from the hypothetical analysis.

Interest Rates. We invest our surplus cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting principally of short-term marketable securities with maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. Our investment securities are held for purposes other than trading. Cash balances held by subsidiaries are invested primarily in registered money market funds with local operating banks.

Our debt is comprised of a loan agreement, secured by real property, which bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%.  In conjunction with loan agreement we entered into an interest rate swap. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount and schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31%.  Additionally, we have an unsecured line of credit which bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.75%. As of July 31, 2012 there were no borrowings under our unsecured line of credit.  Based on an interest rate sensitivity analysis of our cash and equivalents we estimate a 10% adverse change in interest rates from the 2012 fiscal year-end rates would not have a material adverse effect on our cash flows or financial condition for the next fiscal year.
 
 
26


Our interest rate swap is accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap each reporting period are adjusted through earnings, subjecting us to non-cash volatility in our results of operations. We prepared a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates. Based upon the results of the analysis a 10% adverse change in interest rates from the July 31, 2012, rates would cause a $1.9 million reduction in our results of operations.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions for Form 10-Q.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, QAD is party, either as plaintiff or defendant, to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors reported in Item 1A within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2012.
