NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Description of Business

SERENA Software, Inc. (“SERENA” or the “Company”) is the largest global independent software company in terms of revenue solely focused on managing change and processes across information technology, or IT, environments. The Company’s products and services primarily address the complexity of application lifecycle management, or ALM, and are used by customers to manage the development of, and control change in, mission critical applications within both mainframe and distributed systems environments. In addition, the Company provides products and services to enable customers to rapidly address IT service management, or ITSM, and business process challenges through the use of visually designed process workflows. The Company’s products and services allow customers to orchestrate and manage their application development, IT and business processes by automating and integrating disparate ALM and ITSM products and processes, improving process visibility and consistency, enhancing software integrity, mitigating application development risks, supporting auditability and regulatory compliance, and boosting productivity. The Company’s revenue is generated by software licenses, maintenance contracts and professional services. The Company’s software products are typically installed within customer IT environments and generally accompanied by renewable annual maintenance contracts.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 30, 2012. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

(d) Spyglass Merger Corp.

On March 10, 2006, Spyglass Merger Corp., an affiliate of Silver Lake, a private equity firm, merged with and into us, a transaction we refer to in this report as the “Merger”. As a result of the Merger, our common stock ceased to be traded on the NASDAQ National Market and we became a privately-held company, with approximately 56.5% of our common stock at the time of the merger on a fully diluted basis owned by investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake.

(e) Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Errors

Prior to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company identified errors related to its interest accrual calculations in fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2011. As a result, the Company’s historical interest expense and the related “accrued interest on term loan and subordinated notes” were overstated. Management evaluated the materiality of the errors from a qualitative and quantitative perspective, and concluded that the errors were immaterial to each of the prior periods but could have been material if corrected in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Consequently, in this Form 10-Q, consolidated balance sheet data as of January 31, 2012 has been revised to reflect the correction of these errors by decreasing accrued interest on the term loan and subordinated notes by approximately $1.8 million and decreasing accumulated deficit by approximately $1.8 million. The impact of the errors prior to fiscal 2010 would decrease accumulated deficit as of the beginning of fiscal 2010 by approximately $1.3 million. The impact of the errors in fiscal 2010 and 2011 is a decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and a decrease in accrued interest on the term loan and subordinated notes of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of January 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The revised financial data will be reflected when those periods are published again in future filings.

(2) Stock-Based Compensation

General Stock Option Information

The following table sets forth the summary of option activity under our stock option programs for the six months ended July 31, 2012:

	Options			Number of			Weighted
	Available for			Options			Average
	Grant			Outstanding			Exercise Price
Balances as of January 31, 2012		3,970,302			8,582,511		$	2.79
Granted		(800,000	)		800,000		$	3.72
Exercised					(121,854	)	$	1.25
Cancelled (1)					(233,742	)	$	1.25
Cancelled		361,352			(361,352	)	$	2.39
Balances as of July 31, 2012(2)		3,531,654			8,665,563		$	2.92

(1) Represents cancelled options which are not returned to the available-for-grant stock option pool.

(2) The number of options vested and expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures, as of July 31, 2012 was 5,347,619 and has a weighted average exercise price of $2.78.

The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding and options exercisable as of July 31, 2012 was $6.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

To assist management in determining the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company engages a third-party valuation specialist to perform a valuation on a semi-annual basis as of January 31 and July 31. In estimating the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the external valuation firm employs a two-step approach that first estimates the fair value of the Company as a whole, and then allocates the adjusted value of shareholders’ equity to the Company’s common stock.

The fair value of each stock option grant under the stock option plans is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended July 31,				Six Months Ended July 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Expected term (in years)		2.7 to 3.0		3.0		2.7 to 3.0		3.0
Risk-free interest rate		0.1% to 0.4%		0.2% to 1.2%		0.1% to 0.4%		0.2% to 1.2%
Volatility		25% to 28%		19% to 33%		25% to 28%		19% to 33%

7

The expected term is based on observed and expected time to post vesting exercise or cancellation of options. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the average U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates and approximate the rates in effect at the time of grant for the respective expected term. Volatility is based on the volatility of the Company’s peer group’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

Information regarding the stock options outstanding at July 31, 2012 is summarized as follows:

	Number Outstanding(1)		Weighted  Average Remaining Contractual Life		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable(1)		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Exercise Price
$1.25		1,033,860		1.36	$	1.25		1,033,860	$	1.25
$3.00		4,822,538		7.10	$	3.00		2,563,829	$	3.00

A long-lived asset is not recoverable, and therefore subject to an impairment charge, if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows associated with it. There were no impairment charges in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2012 and 2011.

(4) Debt

Debt as of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	July 31,		January 31,
	2012		2012
2016 Tranche B Term Loans, due March 10, 2016, LIBOR plus 4.00% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor	$	117,399	$	—

Total long-term debt	$	435,042	$	442,765

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company entered into a credit facility pursuant to a debt commitment that we obtained from affiliates of the initial purchasers of our senior subordinated notes (the “Credit Facility”).

First Amend and Extend Transaction

On March 2, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to our Credit Facility to extend the final maturity date for the repayment of a portion of outstanding term loans, extend the commitment termination date of the commitments for a portion of the revolving credit facility and provide for additional flexibility in the financial covenants under the Credit Facility (the “First Amend and Extend Transaction”). As a result of the amendment, $191.1 million of the existing term loans were extended and will mature on March 10, 2016 (the “2016 Extended Term Loans”), and $20.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments were extended and will terminate on March 10, 2015 (the “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”). The $124.9 million of the existing term loans that were not extended (the “2013 Term Loans”), and the $55.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended, would continue to mature on March 10, 2013 and March 10, 2012, respectively.” As a result of the amendment, the interest rate margins were increased by 200 basis points for the extended facilities. In addition, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 and through the test periods ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter for both the extended facilities and non-extended facilities. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement did not change, and the principal amount of the term loans would continue to amortize at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis.

Second Amend and Extend Transaction

On April 12, 2012, the Company entered into an Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 (the “Second Amend and Extend Transaction”) to its Credit Facility to extend the final maturity date of its 2013 Term Loans, that were not extended in the First Amend and Extend Transaction. As a result of the Second Amend and Extend Transaction $117.4 million of the 2013 Term Loans were extended through a combination of the establishment of a series of term loans to new and existing lenders and the repayment of certain amounts to existing and departing lenders. This resulted in $84.4 million of the 2013 Term Loans being effectively repaid or extinguished and the same amount being considered new borrowings. The Company refers to the incremental term loans and the newly extended term loans as the “2016 Tranche B Term Loans.” The 2016 Tranche B Term Loans have an applicable margin for London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, -based loans of 4.0% (or, if we exceed a specified leverage ratio, 4.25%) (which is 200 basis points higher than the interest rate under the 2013 Term Loans) and a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. The other terms and conditions of the 2016 Tranche B Term Loans are the same as those for the 2016 Extended Term Loans. After giving effect to the Second Amend and Extend Transaction and the repayment of the remaining 2013 Term Loans, all of the Company’s outstanding term loans under the Credit Facility have a final maturity date of March 10, 2016 and the aggregate principal amount of the term loans outstanding under the Credit Facility did not change. The Company paid each lender holding 2016 Tranche B Term Loans an original issuer discount equal to 1.5% of the principal amount of 2016 Tranche B Term Loans held by such lender.

The Credit Facility bears an annual commitment fee on the undrawn portion of that facility commencing on the date of execution and delivery of the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of the cancellation of the non-extended 2012 revolving credit commitment totaling $55.0 million during the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the annual commitment fee is limited to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. Effective February 1, 2011, the annual commitment fee is 0.375% per annum.

11

Senior Subordinated Notes

The Company has outstanding $126.5 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes, which bear interest at a rate of 10.375%, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, and which mature on March 15, 2016. Each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the obligations under the Company’s Credit Facility will jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. The Company does not have any domestic subsidiaries and, accordingly, there are no guarantors. The notes are the Company’s unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, and the guarantees, if any, will be unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the guarantors. The notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option under terms and conditions specified in the indenture related to the notes, and may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon certain change of control events.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, the Company repurchased $7.7 million of the 10.375% senior subordinated notes. The total cost including accrued interest of $0.2 million was $8.1 million, resulting in a loss on the early extinguishment of this debt of $0.2 million during the three and six months ended July 31, 2012.

The Company may from time to time repurchase the senior subordinated notes in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, or redeem the senior subordinated notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated March 10, 2006.

Debt Covenants

The senior subordinated notes and the credit facility contain various covenants including limitations on additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, restricted payments, the incurrence of liens, transactions with affiliates and sales of assets. In addition, the credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios and capital expenditure limitations. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit facility as of July 31, 2012.

The Company’s senior secured credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a rolling twelve-month consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated Interest Expense ratio of a minimum of 2.00x at the end of each quarter beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2010. Consolidated Interest Expense is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as consolidated cash interest expense less cash interest income and is further adjusted for certain non-cash interest expenses and other items. The Company is also required to maintain a rolling twelve-month consolidated Total Debt to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of a maximum of 5.00x at the end of each quarter beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2011. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2011 and through the test period ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter. Consolidated Total Debt is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as total debt other than certain indebtedness and is reduced by the amount of cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet in excess of $5.0 million. As of July 31, 2012, our consolidated Total Debt was $337.8 million, consisting of total debt other than certain indebtedness totaling $435.0 million, net of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 million totaling $97.2 million. Failure to satisfy these ratio requirements would constitute a default under the senior secured credit agreement. If the Company’s lenders failed to waive any such default, our repayment obligations under the senior secured credit agreement could be accelerated, which would also constitute a default under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes.

The Company’s ability to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of at least 2.0x, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments and certain permitted investments without regard to the ratio, such as the Company’s ability to incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million under our senior secured credit agreement (subject to reduction for mandatory prepayments under our senior secured credit agreement and inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement from time to time; as of July 31, 2012, we had $308.5 million outstanding under our term loan and $0.0 million under our revolving credit facility), to acquire persons engaged in a similar business that become restricted subsidiaries and to make other investments equal to the greater of $25.0 million or 2% of our consolidated assets. Fixed charges is defined in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes as consolidated Interest Expense less interest income, adjusted for acquisitions, and further adjusted for non-cash interest expense.

(5) Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $0.1 million and income tax benefit was $0.8 million in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million and income tax benefit of $0.5 million in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. The Company’s projected effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2013 is 15%. The Company’s effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2012 was 9%. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impacts of permanently reinvested foreign earnings and the domestic production deduction. During periods where the Company experiences losses, these items will generally increase the effective income tax rate above the statutory rate, whereas, they will reduce the effective income tax rate below the statutory rate during periods where the Company has income.

12

At January 31, 2012, the Company had total federal, state and foreign unrecognized tax benefits of $4.6 million, including interest of $1.0 million. During the six months ended July 31, 2012 there were no material changes to the total unrecognized tax benefit, and the Company accrued immaterial amounts in interest.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Company’s federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended January 31, 2009 through January 31, 2012. The statute of limitations on the Company’s major state tax return filings remains open for the years ended January 31, 2007 through January 31, 2012. The statute of limitations on the Company’s U.K. income tax filings remains open for the years ended January 31, 1999 through January 31, 2012. Over the next twelve months, the Company expect a decrease of $1.2 million in our unrecognized tax benefits primarily as a result of expiring statutes of limitation and audit settlements.

(6) Fair Value Measurement

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Description	Estimated Fair Value at July 31, 2012		Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable  Inputs		Significant Unobservable  Inputs
Assets:
Money market funds	$	76,720	$	76,720	$	—	$	—
Total Assets	$	76,720	$	76,720	$	—	$	—
Total Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

Description	Estimated Fair Value at January 31, 2012		Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
Assets:
Money market funds	$	78,669	$	78,669	$	—	$	—
Total Assets	$	78,669	$	78,669	$	—	$	—
Total Liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

At July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant other observable inputs or significant unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The fair value of the Company’s revolving term credit facility approximates its respective carrying amount because this instrument includes LIBOR-based interest rates that are variable and fluctuate based on market conditions.

13

The estimated fair values of certain of the Company’s long-term debt obligations, as of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012 are as follows:

	Carrying Amount		Fair Value(1)
	(In thousands)
As of July 31, 2012:
5.00000% 2016 Tranche B Term Loans due March 10, 2016	$	117,399	$	116,812
4.47455% 2016 Extended Term Loans due March 10, 2016	$	191,101	$	186,801
10.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2016	$	126,542	$	128,756
As of January 31, 2012:
2.53775% 2013 Non-Extended Term Loans due March 10, 2013	$	117,399	$	115,932
4.53775% 2016 Extended Term Loans due March 10, 2016	$	191,101	$	187,279
10.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2016	$	134,265	$	138,293

(1) The term loans and senior subordinated notes are measured at fair value using level 2 inputs. These measurements consider inputs such as observable prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including price quotes from independent pricing vendors and broker-dealers and available trade, bid and other market information.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents balances with recognized financial institutions which follow the Company’s investment policy. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on these investments to date. One of the most significant credit risks is the ultimate realization of accounts receivable. This risk is mitigated by (i) ongoing credit evaluation of our customers, and (ii) frequent contact with our customers, especially our most significant customers, thus enabling the Company to monitor current changes in business operations and to respond accordingly. The Company generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company considers these concentrations of credit risks in establishing our allowance for doubtful accounts.

(7) Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen during the ordinary course of its business. The reasonably possible or probable range of loss from the final resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to be material.

Overview

We are the largest global independent software company in terms of revenue solely focused on managing change and processes across information technology, or IT, environments. Our products and services address the complexity of application lifecycle management, or ALM, and are used by our customers to manage the development of, and control change in, mission critical applications within both mainframe and distributed systems environments. In addition, we provide products and services to enable customers to rapidly address IT service management, or ITSM, and business process challenges through the use of visually designed process workflows.

Our products and services allow customers to orchestrate and manage their application development, IT and business processes by automating and integrating disparate ALM and ITSM products and processes, improving process visibility and consistency, enhancing software integrity, mitigating application development risks, supporting auditability and regulatory compliance, and boosting productivity. Our revenue is generated by software licenses, maintenance contracts and professional services. Our software products are typically installed within customer IT environments and generally accompanied by renewable annual maintenance contracts.

We derive our revenue from software licenses, maintenance and professional services. Our distributed systems products are licensed on a per user seat basis. Customers typically purchase mainframe products under million instructions per second, or MIPS-based, perpetual licenses. Mainframe software products and applications are generally priced based on hardware computing capacity – the higher the mainframe computer’s MIPS capacity, the higher the cost of the software license.

We also provide ongoing maintenance, which includes technical support, version upgrades and enhancements, for an annual fee of approximately 21% of the software license fee for our distributed systems products and approximately 17% to 18% of the software license fee for our mainframe products. We recognize maintenance revenue over the term of the maintenance contract on a straight-line basis.

Professional services revenue is derived from technical consulting and educational services. Our professional services are typically billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized as the related services are performed. Maintenance revenue and professional services revenue have lower gross profit margins than software license revenue as a result of the costs inherent in operating our customer support and professional services organizations.

Executive Summary

The following is a summary of the analysis of our results contained in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section.

• Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 8% to $52.4 million as compared to $57.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to a decrease in mainframe software license revenue.

• Total cost of revenue was 17% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 18% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

• Total operating expense was $36.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and decreased by 1% from $36.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

• We recorded a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of $(0.3) million as compared to net income of $4.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

• Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

• Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $10.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2012 from $3.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011.

15

• During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, we repurchased $7.7 million of the 10.375% subordinated notes. For a description of this transaction and its effect on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 4 – Debt in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Historically, our revenue has been generally attributable to sales in North America, Europe and to a lesser extent Asia Pacific and South America. Revenue attributable to sales in North America accounted for approximately 66% and 67% of our total revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 64% and 65% of our total revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. Our international revenue is attributable principally to our European operations and to a lesser extent Asia Pacific and South America. International revenue accounted for approximately 34% and 33% of our total revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 36% and 35% of our total revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion is based upon our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by us. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of operations could be affected.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes, impairment of goodwill, valuation of our common stock, and assumptions around valuation of our options and restricted stock, among other things. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

In addition to these estimates and assumptions utilized in the preparation of historical financial statements, the inability to properly estimate the timing and amount of future revenue could significantly affect our future operations. We must make assumptions and estimates as to the timing and amount of future revenue. Specifically, our sales personnel monitor the status of all proposals, such as the estimated closing date and potential dollar amount of such transactions. We aggregate these estimates to generate a sales pipeline and then evaluate the pipeline to identify trends in our business. This pipeline analysis and related estimates of revenue may differ significantly from actual revenue in a particular reporting period as the estimates and assumptions were made using the best available data at the time, which is subject to change. Specifically, slowdowns in the global economy and information technology spending has caused and may continue to cause customer purchasing decisions to be delayed, reduced in amount or cancelled, all of which have reduced and could continue to reduce the rate of conversion of the pipeline into contracts. A variation in the pipeline or the conversion rate of the pipeline into contracts could cause us to plan or budget inaccurately and thereby could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, because a substantial portion of our software license contracts close in the latter part of a quarter, we may not be able to adjust our cost structure to respond to a variation in the conversion of the pipeline in a timely manner, and thereby the delays may adversely and materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We believe the following are critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

• Revenue recognition,

• Stock-based compensation,

• Valuation of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and

• Accounting for income taxes

In the six months ended July 31, 2012, there has been no significant change in the above critical accounting policies or the underlying assumptions and estimates used in their application. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on April 30, 2012 for further information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue

We derive revenue from software licenses, maintenance and professional services. Our total revenue decreased $4.7 million, or 8%, to $52.4 million in the three months ended July 31, 2012 from $57.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. For the six months ended July 31, 2012, total revenue decreased $6.0 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in mainframe software license revenue, driven primarily from lower sales of our ChangeMan ZMF and other mainframe products, offset in part by higher sales of our distributed systems products, most predominantly Dimensions. Maintenance revenues were impacted by the decline in total license revenues in the current quarter, when compared to the same quarter a year ago. Professional services revenue increased in the three months ended July 31, 2012 by $0.3 million as compared to the same quarter a year ago. This is due in part to the fact that our professional services revenue is driven by solution-oriented sales initiated in prior periods.

17

The following table summarizes software licenses, maintenance and professional services revenues for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended July 31,										Six Months Ended July 31,
					Increase/(Decrease)										Increase/(Decrease)
	2012		2011		In Dollars			In %			2012		2011		In Dollars			In %

Software Licenses. Software license revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 22% and 19% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 26% and 22% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. The decrease in software licenses revenue, in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 as compared to the same period a year ago, was primarily due to lower sales of our ChangeMan ZMF and other mainframe products, partially offset by higher sales of our distributed systems products, primarily Dimensions. In addition, the continuing adverse worldwide economic conditions, particularly in Europe, continued to negatively impact revenues. Our core ALM products continue to make up nearly all of our total software licenses revenue. Combined, our core ALM products accounted for $10.6 million or 92% and $18.3 million or 94% of total software license revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to $13.5 million or 91% and $21.3 million or 90%, in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. Distributed systems products accounted for $8.7 million or 75% and $14.5 million or 75%, of total software licenses revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, as compared to $ 8.1 million or 54% and $12.3 million or 52%, in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. We expect that our Serena Release Manager and Serena Service Manager products will account for a substantial portion of our software licenses revenue growth in the future as our sales organization becomes more familiar with selling these products. We also expect that Dimensions, Professional and Serena Business Manager family of products will account for a substantial portion of our software licenses revenue in the future. We expect our software licenses revenue for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012 to increase sequentially when compared to the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2012.

Maintenance. Maintenance revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 66% and 69% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 64% and 67% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, when compared to the same periods a year ago, the decrease in maintenance revenue in absolute dollar terms is primarily due to the decrease in software license revenues as well as the impact of maintenance contracts that were not renewed. We expect maintenance revenue to remain generally flat in the near term as maintenance contracts continue to renew at consistent rates and we continue to sell software licenses.

Professional Services. Professional services revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 12% for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 as compared to 10% and 11% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in professional services revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 as compared to the same periods a year ago, is predominantly due to an increase in the number of consulting service engagements particularly in Asia as well as our focus on solution-oriented sales and the expansion of our professional services organization. In general, professional services revenue is attributable to both consulting opportunities in our installed customer base and to the expansion of our consulting service capabilities. We expect professional services revenue to remain generally flat in the near term. We continue to focus on selling solution-oriented offerings based on our ALM products and Serena Business Manager and Serena Service Manager family of products.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue, consisting of cost of software licenses, cost of maintenance, cost of professional services and amortization of acquired technology, was 17% and 18% of total revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 16% and 20% in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes cost of revenue for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended July 31,												Six Months Ended July 31,
							Increase/(Decrease)												Increase/(Decrease)
	2012			2011			In Dollars			In %			2012			2011			In Dollars			In %

Percentage of total revenue		17	%		16	%								18	%		20	%

Software Licenses. Cost of software licenses consist principally of fees associated with integrating third party technology into our Serena Release Automation and Dimensions distributed systems products. Cost of software licenses as a percentage of total software licenses revenue was 4% and 5% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 3% for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2011. The increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total software license revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, when compared to the same periods a year ago, was primarily due to an increase in sales of our distributed systems products such as our Serena Release Automation product and certain other distributed system products that have fees associated with distributing a third party product and integrating third party technology into our products.

Maintenance. Cost of maintenance consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and other costs associated with our customer support organization. Cost of maintenance as a percentage of total maintenance revenue was 8% for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, and 8% for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. Cost of maintenance remained generally flat in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of maintenance revenue as general cost increases associated with our customer support organization were offset by decreases in expenses associated with our prior cost cutting initiatives.

Professional Services. Cost of professional services consists of salaries, bonuses and other costs associated with supporting our professional services organization. Cost of professional services as a percentage of total professional services revenue was 11% and 12% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 10% and 11% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. The cost of professional services in absolute dollars was generally flat as cost increases associated with the build out of our professional services organization were offset by decreases in expenses associated with cost cutting initiatives.

Amortization of Acquired Technology. Our acquired technology became fully amortized in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Amortization expense was predominantly due to the acquired technology recorded in connection with our merger in March 2006.

Operating Expenses

The following table summarizes operating expenses for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended July 31,												Six Months Ended July 31,
							Increase/(Decrease)												Increase/(Decrease)
	2012			2011			In Dollars			In %			2012			2011			In Dollars			In %
Operating expenses:
Sales and marketing	$	14,315		$	15,762		$	(1,447	)		(9	)%	$	29,148		$	30,200		$	(1,052	)		(3	)%

Percentage of total revenue		68	%		64	%								70	%		67	%

19

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses, payroll taxes and employee benefits as well as travel, entertainment and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 28% and 29% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 28% for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2011. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to a decrease in commission expenses during the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, when compared to the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, as a result of lower revenues. In absolute dollar terms, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase over the near term as a result of increased commissions attributable to increased software license revenue.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, employee benefits and costs attributable to research and development activities. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 12% and 13% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 12% and 13% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, were consistent with the three and six months ended July 31, 2011. We expect research and development expenses to increase slightly in the near term.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits and certain other administrative costs, including legal and accounting fees and bad debt. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 8% for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, as compared to 6% and 7% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue was primarily attributable to growing our general and administrative organizations to support our business and fluctuations in foreign currency rates, all partially offset by restructuring and other ongoing cost cutting initiatives put in place in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain generally flat in the near term.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, amortization expense was predominantly due to the identifiable intangible assets recorded in connection with the merger. Assuming there are no impairments and no acquisitions, we expect to record $9.1 million in amortization expense in each of the next six fiscal quarters, and finally, $3.9 million in amortization expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Other Charges. Restructuring, acquisition and other charges are mainly comprised of severance and other employee related costs, sponsor fees and other charges not part of ongoing operations. We recorded $1.6 million and $2.0 million in restructuring, acquisition and other charges in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $1.7 million in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively.

Restructuring, acquisition and other charges for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 are categorized as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended July 31,				Six Months Ended July 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Sponsor fees, administration fees and other costs related to the Merger and the issuance of debt	$	311	$	313	$	622	$	622
Restructuring charges consisting principally of severance, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, facilities closures and legal and other miscellaneous costs		480		—		480		162
Other costs not related to our restructuring plans including severance and other employee related costs, costs to establish or liquidate entities, and other costs not part of ongoing operations		826		744		907		885
Total restructuring, acquisition and other charges	$	1,617	$	1,057	$	2,009	$	1,669

Interest Income. Interest income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, as compared to the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, increased mainly as a result of increases in cash balances resulting from the accumulation of free cash flows from operations.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, as compared to the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, increased in both dollar terms and percentage terms. This was mainly due to the fact that our interest rates on our term loans increased as a result of the Second Amend and Extend Transaction.

Amortization and Write-Off of Debt Issuance Costs. We recorded $0.5 million and $1.0 million in amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs in the in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to $0.3 million and $0.7 million in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, we repurchased $7.7 million of the 10.375% senior subordinated notes for a total cost of $8.1 million. We amortized an additional $0.1 million in capitalized debt issuance costs as a result of the repurchase.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). The income tax expense was $0.1 million in the quarter ended July 31, 2012, as compared to $0.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. Income tax benefit was $0.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2012, as compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011. Our projected effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2013 is 15%. Our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2012 was 9%. Our effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impacts of permanently reinvested foreign earnings and the domestic production deduction. During periods where we experience losses, these items will generally increase the effective income tax rate above the statutory rate, whereas, they will reduce the effective income tax rate below the statutory rate during periods where we have income. See Note 5 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information regarding income taxes and its impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Since our inception, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements through cash flows from operations. As of July 31, 2012, we had $102.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Approximately 24% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries as of July 31, 2012. Our intent is to permanently reinvest our earnings from certain foreign operations. We do not anticipate a need to repatriate dividends from foreign operations that are permanently reinvested in order to fund operations.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $10.0 million and $3.8 million in the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In the six months ended July 31, 2012, our cash flows provided by operating activities exceeded our net loss principally due to the adjustment for non-cash expenses reflected in our net loss of $14.0 million, offset by an increase in operating net assets of $0.7 million. In the six months ended July 31, 2011, our cash flows provided by operating activities exceeded our net loss principally due to the adjustment for non-cash expenses in net loss of $18.1 million, offset by an increase in operating net assets of $14.0 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million and $2.9 million in the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In the six months ended July 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities of $5.1 million, was comprised of $4.2 million for the purchase of software and $0.9 million for the purchase of computer equipment and office furniture and equipment. In the six months ended July 31, 2011, net cash used in investing activities of $2.9 million, was comprised of $2.6 million for the purchase of computer equipment and office furniture and equipment and $0.3 million for the purchase of internal use software.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $12.0 million and $9.5 million in the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In the six months ended July 31, 2012, net cash used in financing activities of $12.0 million was mainly comprised of $8.1 million related to the extinguishment of senior subordinated notes and $3.8 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Second Amend and Extend Transaction in April 2012. In the six months ended July 31, 2011, net cash used in financing activities of $9.5 million was principally related to principal payments made on the term loan totaling $7.5 million and debt issuance costs associated with the First Amend and Extend Transaction in March 2011 totaling $2.0 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As a result of the acquisition transactions related to the merger in March 2006, we became highly leveraged. As of July 31, 2012, we had outstanding $435.0 million in aggregate indebtedness. Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service obligations. Our cash interest paid in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 was $4.8 million and $14.8 million, respectively, as compared to $6.5 million and $12.7 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively.

We believe that current cash and cash equivalents, and cash flows from operations will satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the twelve months ending July 31, 2013. At some point in the future, we may require additional funds for either operating or strategic purposes or to refinance our existing indebtedness and may seek to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing. If we are required to seek additional financing in the future through public or private debt or equity financing, there is no assurance that this additional financing will be available or, if available, will be upon reasonable terms and not legally or structurally senior to or on parity with our existing debt obligations.

The following is a summary of our various contractual commitments as of July 31, 2012, including non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space that expire between calendar years 2012 and 2018. All periods start from May 1, 2012.

	Payments Due by Period(2)

(1) Scheduled interest on debt is calculated through each instrument’s due date and assumes no unscheduled principal pay downs or borrowings. Scheduled interest on debt includes the 2016 Tranche B term loan due March 10, 2016 at an annual rate of 5.0%, which is the rate in effect as of July 31, 2012, the 2016 extended term loan due March 10, 2016 at an annual rate of 4.24575%, which is the rate in effect as of July 31, 2012, the commitment fee on the unutilized amount of the revolving term credit facility due March 10, 2015 at the annual rate of 0.375%, which is the rate in effect as of July 31, 2012, and the ten-year senior subordinated notes due March 15, 2016 at the stated annual rate of 10.375%.

(2) This table excludes our unrecognized tax benefits totaling $4.6 million as of July 31, 2012 since we have determined that the timing of payments with respect to this liability cannot be reasonably estimated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As part of our ongoing operations, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, or SPEs, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of July 31, 2012, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Merger in March 2006, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement pursuant to a debt commitment that we obtained from affiliates of the initial purchasers of our senior subordinated notes (the “Credit Facility”).

First Amend and Extend Transaction. On March 2, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Facility to extend the final maturity date for the repayment of a portion of outstanding term loans, extend the commitment termination date of the commitments for a portion of the revolving credit facility and provide for additional flexibility in the financial covenants under the Credit Facility (the “First Amend and Extend Transaction”). As a result of the amendment, $191.1 million of the existing term loans were extended and will mature on March 10, 2016 (the “2016 Extended Term Loans”), and $20.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments were extended and will terminate on March 10, 2015 (the “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”). The $124.9 million of the existing term loans that were not extended (the “2013 Term Loans”), and the $55.0 million of the existing revolving credit commitments that were not extended, would continue to mature on March 10, 2013 and March 10, 2012, respectively. As a result of the amendment, the interest rate margins were increased by 200 basis points for the extended facilities. In addition, the maximum total leverage ratio stepped up to 5.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011 and through the test periods ending on July 31, 2012 and will step down to 5.00x thereafter for both the extended facilities and non-extended facilities. After giving effect to the amendment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement did not change, and the principal amount of the term loans would continue to amortize at a rate of 1.00% per year on a quarterly basis.

Second Amend and Extend Transaction. On April 12, 2012, we entered into an Extension Agreement and Amendment No. 1 (the “Second Amend and Extend Transaction”) to our Credit Facility to extend the final maturity date of the 2013 Term Loans that were not extended in the First Amend and Extend Transaction. As a result of the Second Amend and Extend Transaction, $117.4 million of the 2013 Term Loans were extended through a combination of the establishment of a new series of term loans and borrowing of incremental term loans under the Credit Facility. In connection with the Second Amend and Extend Transaction, certain holders of 2013 Term Loans that did not elect to extend their loans were repaid and replaced with new lenders, and certain holders had their holdings reallocated. We refer to the incremental term loans and the newly extended term loans as the “2016 Tranche B Term Loans.” The 2016 Tranche B Term Loans have an applicable margin for London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, -based loans of 4.0% (or, if we exceed a specified leverage ratio, 4.25%) (which is 200 basis points higher than the interest rate under the 2013 Term Loans) and a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. The other terms and conditions of the 2016 Tranche B Term Loans are the same as those for the 2016 Extended Term Loans. After giving effect to the Second Amend and Extend Transaction and the repayment of the remaining 2013 Term Loans, all of our outstanding term loans under the Credit Facility have a final maturity date of March 10, 2016, and the aggregate principal amount of the term loans outstanding under the Credit Facility did not change. We paid each lender holding 2016 Tranche B Term Loans an original issuer discount equal to 1.5% of the principal amount of 2016 Tranche B Term Loans held by such lender.

Interest Rates and Fees. As of July 31, 2012, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under our Credit Facility was $308.5 million, which consisted of $191.1 million of 2016 Extended Term Loans and $117.4 million of the 2016 Tranche B Term Loans. The 2016 Extended Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.00%. That rate was 4.24575% as of July 31, 2012. The 2016 Tranche B Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.00% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. That rate was 5.00% as of July 31, 2012. The Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, of which $0.0 million was outstanding as of July 31, 2012, bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 3.75%.

The Credit Facility bears an annual commitment fee on the undrawn portion of that facility commencing on the date of execution and delivery of the senior secured credit agreement. As a result of the cancellation of the non-extended 2012 revolving credit commitment totaling $55.0 million during the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the annual commitment fee is limited to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. Effective February 1, 2011, the annual commitment fee is 0.375% per annum.

Senior Subordinated Notes

We have outstanding $126.5 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes, which bear interest at a rate of 10.375%, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, and which mature on March 15, 2016. Each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees our obligations under our Credit Facility will jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the notes on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. We do not have any domestic subsidiaries and, accordingly, there are no guarantors. The notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, and the guarantees, if any, will be unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the guarantors. The notes are subject to redemption at our option under terms and conditions specified in the indenture related to the notes, and may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon certain change of control events.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, we repurchased $7.7 million of the 10.375% senior subordinated notes. The total cost including accrued interest of $0.2 million was $8.1 million resulting in a loss on the early extinguishment of this debt of $0.2 million during the three and six months ended July 31, 2012.

We may from time to time repurchase the senior subordinated notes in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, or redeem the senior subordinated notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated March 10, 2006.

Covenant Compliance

Under our Credit Facility, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Facility and indenture as of July 31, 2012. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios and tests in the future. A breach of any of these covenants would result in a default (which, if not cured, could mature into an event of default) and in certain cases an immediate event of default under our Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our Credit Facility, all amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility could be declared to be (or could automatically become) immediately due and payable and all commitments to extend further credit could be terminated.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in our Credit Facility. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain defined unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our Credit Facility. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors regarding our compliance with the financial covenants under our Credit Facility.

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we may consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in our Credit Facility allows us to add back certain defined non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating GAAP net income (loss). Our Credit Facility requires that Adjusted EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter and may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss, a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our debt agreements.

	Three Months Ended July 31,					Six Months Ended July 31,
	2012			2011		2012			2011
Net income (loss)	$	(314	)	$	4,599	$	(3,427	)	$	(295	)
Interest expense (income), net(1)		7,606			6,804		15,299			14,808

(1) Interest expense (income), net includes interest income, interest expense, amortization and write off of debt issuance costs, and amend and extend transaction fees.

(2) Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of leasehold improvements, amortization of acquired technologies, amortization of other intangible assets and amortization of stock-based compensation. See Note 2 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to stock-based compensation.

(3) Restructuring, acquisition and other charges include employee payroll, severance and other employee related costs associated with transitional activities that are not expected to be part of our ongoing operations.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, term loan and secured indebtedness. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. All of our cash equivalents principally consist of money market funds as of July 31, 2012. We are subject to interest rate risk related to the variable interest rate on the secured term loan. Management currently does not intend to enter into any swap contract to hedge any portion of the variable interest rate secured term loan. We do not believe that a hypothetical 25% fluctuation in the variable interest rate would have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk. Historically, our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short and long-term investments and short and long-term debt obligations.

As of July 31, 2012, we had $308.5 million of debt under our senior secured credit agreement. A 1% increase in these floating rates would increase annual interest expense by $3.1 million.

Foreign Exchange Risk. Sales to foreign countries accounted for approximately 34% and 33% of our total revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as compared to 36% and 35% of our revenue in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively. Because we invoice certain foreign sales in currencies other than the United States dollar, predominantly the British pound sterling and euro, and do not hedge these transactions, fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect the translated results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries. Therefore, foreign exchange fluctuations could create a risk of significant balance sheet gains or losses on our consolidated financial statements. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, our future net revenues could be adversely affected. However, given our foreign subsidiaries’ net book values as of July 31, 2012 and net cash flows for the most recent fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2012, we do not believe that a hypothetical 25% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of senior management personnel, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of July 31, 2012. We perform this evaluation on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our annual and quarterly reports filed under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, and subject to the limitations described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
