ITEM 1. Business

Company Overview

We provide software, services and proprietary content that enable organizations to more effectively recruit and retain employees. Our solutions are built around a suite of easily configurable software applications that automate talent acquisition and employee performance management best practices. We offer the software applications that form the core of our solutions on an on-demand basis, which materially reduces the costs and risks associated with deploying traditional enterprise applications. We complement our software applications with tailored combinations of outsourcing services, consulting services and proprietary content based on our 20 years of experience assisting clients in addressing their human resource, or HR, requirements. Together, our software applications and services form what are commonly referred to as solutions. We believe that these solutions enable our clients to improve the effectiveness of their talent acquisition programs, increase employee productivity and retention, measure key HR metrics and make their talent acquisition and employee performance management programs more efficient.

We sell our solutions to large and medium-sized organizations through our direct sales force. As of December 31, 2007, we had a client base of approximately 4,000 companies, including approximately 199 companies on the Fortune 500 list published in April, 2007. Our client base includes companies that we billed for services during the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 and does not necessarily indicate an ongoing relationship with each such client. Our top 80 clients contributed approximately 53.5%, 61.0% and 70.6% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our clients typically purchase multi-year subscriptions which provide us with a recurring revenue stream. During each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, our clients renewed more than 90% of the aggregate value of multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and performance management solution contracts subject to renewal during the period.

We derive revenue primarily from two sources, subscription fees for our solutions and fees for discrete professional services. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, subscription revenue comprised approximately 81.7%, 80.7% and 77.7%, respectively, of our total revenue.

We are a Pennsylvania corporation. We began our operations under predecessor companies, Insurance Services, Inc., or ISI, and International Holding Company, Inc., or IHC, in 1987. In December 1999, we reorganized our corporate structure by merging ISI and IHC with and into Raymond Karsan Associates, Inc., or RKA, a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond Karsan Holdings, Inc., or RKH, a Pennsylvania corporation. Each of RKA and RKH were newly created to consolidate the businesses of ISI and IHC. In April 2000, we changed our name to TalentPoint, Inc. and we changed the name of RKA to TalentPoint Technologies, Inc. In November 2000, we changed our name to Kenexa Corporation, or Kenexa, and we changed the name of TalentPoint Technologies, Inc. to Kenexa Technology, Inc., or Kenexa Technology. Currently, Kenexa transacts business primarily through Kenexa Technology and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Our principal executive offices are located at 650 East Swedesford Road, 2nd Floor, Wayne, PA 19087.

Our telephone number is (610) 971-9171. We maintain an Internet website at http://www.kenexa.com.

Recent Transactions

On February 20, 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we may terminate the repurchase program at any time.

On November 8, 2007, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock, of which 1.5 million shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $25.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The timing, price and volume of repurchases were based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. As of December 31, 2007 the amount of shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan was 0.5 million. Through January 24, 2008, the remaining 0.5 million shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $9.8 million.

On August 20, 2007, we acquired HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH (“HRC”), a leading consultancy for business-orientated employee surveys, based in Munich, Germany, for a purchase price of approximately $3.8 million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $0.2 million, was approximately $4.0 million. The acquisition of HRC provides us with a presence in Germany and enhances our expansion in European countries.

On June 8, 2007, we acquired Strategic Outsourcing Corporation (“StraightSource”), a provider of recruitment process outsourcing services, based in Richardson, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $9.0 million in cash and $3.2 million in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $12.2 million. In addition, our acquisition agreement contained an earnout provision which provided for the payment of additional consideration by the Company based upon the annual revenues of StraightSource through December 31, 2007. Based upon these results, we paid an additional consideration of $2.1 million in cash during the first quarter of 2008 to the former shareholders of StraightSource. The related liability has been reflected in the financial statements at December 31, 2007. We expect that the acquisition of StraightSource will provide additional efficiency to our exempt and non-exempt recruitment offering and expand our distribution capabilities in the Southwest market.

On March 26, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement with PNC Bank. The amendment increased the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement from $25.0 million to $50.0 million, including a sublimit of up to $2.0 million for letters of credit. The amendment provides that the Credit Agreement will terminate, and all borrowings will become due and payable, on March 26, 2010.

On January 18, 2007, we completed a public offering of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $31.86 per share. We also sold an additional 562,500 shares of our common stock to cover over-allotments of shares. Our net proceeds from the offering, after payment of all offering expenses and commissions, aggregated approximately $130.4 million. We repaid all of the then outstanding borrowings under our credit facility with a portion of the net proceeds from the offering.

Industry Overview

Talent acquisition is the sourcing, recruiting, screening and assessment of employees. Employee performance management is the systematic process by which an organization tracks, monitors and optimizes employee behavior and productivity, and evaluates performance through employee reviews, appraisals and business metrics.

Drivers of Demand for Talent Acquisition and Employee Performance Management Applications

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the amount spent on U.S. labor in 2007 was approximately $7.9 trillion, or approximately 57% of the total U.S. gross domestic product. We believe that the drivers for human capital are affected by intense competition for qualified employees as a result of the retirement of the baby-boomers, the increasing service component of the U.S. economy and improved economic conditions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate in December 2007 of 5.0% which represents an increase of 0.4% from December 2006, still remains low by historical standards.

Over the past two decades, many organizations have implemented software systems that systematize best practices and drive efficiency in most departments, including enterprise resource planning systems, customer relationship management systems and supply chain management systems. These software applications provide a wide array of benefits that both increase revenue growth and eliminate expenses. Based on our experience, however, we believe that the HR departments of many of these organizations have only implemented HR information systems, which track basic employee information for payroll and benefits purposes, or rudimentary applicant tracking systems. Although these systems provide some level of automation, they do little to increase the effectiveness of talent acquisition and employee performance management programs. We believe that few organizations have systemized best practices for talent acquisition and employee performance management or have implemented software applications to support these processes and provide HR professionals with critical analytics and metrics.

Our experience indicates that, presently, many organizations' talent acquisition functions consist of manual, paper-based processes, ad hoc outsourcing and third-party or custom software applications with limited functionality. As a result, we believe that they suffer from the following shortcomings:

• Inefficiency. Many organizations rely on manual, paper-based processes and they cannot effectively manage the massive number of candidates presented by today's many recruiting resources, including unsolicited inquiries, internal referrals, career fairs, campus recruiting, Internet job boards and third-party referrals, among many others. As a result, they fail to identify high potential candidates or fail to process those candidates in a timely manner.

• Redundancy. Many organizations do not maintain easily searchable databases of processed candidates and they often conduct redundant searches. A candidate who did not meet the criteria for a certain position may meet the criteria for alternative or future positions. Without an easily searchable database, a candidate may be overlooked.

• Ineffectiveness. Organizations generally do not employ sophisticated screening and assessment mechanisms. As a result, most hiring decisions are at best loosely based on objective indicators of future success and fail to match high-potential candidates with roles or positions that leverage their unique abilities and experience. This lowers the probability that a new hire will succeed, and negatively impacts employee productivity and satisfaction.

5

• Inconsistency. Many organizations screen applications and resumes based on rudimentary criteria, and do not conduct sophisticated and objective assessments and base hiring decisions primarily on subjective, ad hoc interviews. This process lacks consistency and objectivity. This inconsistency not only negatively impacts the effectiveness of recruiting programs, but also may expose organizations to regulatory liability.

• High cost and inflexibility. As a result of their inflexibility and absence of a variable cost structure, organizations must either maintain larger HR departments or purchase a greater supply of third-party services in order to accomplish their recruiting goals, significantly increasing the costs of their talent acquisition programs.

Similarly, we believe that many organizations have neither automated nor applied best practices to employee performance management. In our experience, most organizations’ employee performance management processes consist of annual performance reviews and informal mentoring programs. We believe that effective employee performance management requires a consistent, systematized process that identifies employee strengths, weaknesses and issues in a timely manner, continually aligns employee goals with the evolving goals of the organization, monitors opportunities for internal advancement and enables management to analyze employee data over time. We believe that the absence of effective employee performance management systems and processes has the following negative implications:

• Failure to retain top performers. The absence of systems and processes to ensure the fulfillment, motivation and internal mobility of key employees negatively impacts an organization's ability to retain its top performing employees. Management may not have the opportunity to rectify problems with valued employees before they depart from the organization without a system to highlight these issues. Reducing employee turnover can have a material impact on an organization’s expenses.

• Failure to optimize productivity. Maximum productivity is obtained when employees believe their roles match their evolving skill sets, find their jobs challenging and have confidence in their upward mobility. The absence of strong employee performance management systems contributes to the failure to accomplish these goals, and even if organizations succeed in retaining employees, they may not be able to maintain maximum productivity from their employees.

• Failure to remove poor performers. An employee who does not fulfill his or her role effectively may have a recurring negative impact on an organization. To the extent that a poor performer has managerial responsibility, this negative impact on the organization expands materially. Without systems that identify poor performers, organizations may not be able to address weaknesses within their human capital in a timely manner.

We believe that the failure to employ sophisticated systems in their talent acquisition and employee performance management processes inhibits organizations from leveraging valuable data generated through these functions. This can negatively impact organizations in several ways, including the failure both to identify overall trends that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its processes and to quickly identify problems that could lead to employee turnover.

Emergence of On-Demand Applications

Based on our experience, we believe that organizations have become increasingly dissatisfied with traditional enterprise software applications, resulting in the growing adoption of the on-demand model for enterprise software. Historically, organizations have purchased perpetual software licenses and deployed enterprise software applications on-site within their IT environment. This traditional method of purchasing and deploying enterprise software applications has left many organizations questioning whether the benefits of these technologies outweigh the following burdens:

• Expensive and time consuming implementation. A traditional enterprise software application requires an organization to invest in ancillary IT such as hardware systems, application servers, databases and

6

storage systems. In addition, the organization must employ consultants or additional IT staff to integrate the application into increasingly complicated IT environments and customize the application for specific needs. The ancillary costs of a complex deployment can be multiples of the perpetual license fee for the software application and can take several months or even years to complete.

• Expensive maintenance. Once the software application has been deployed, the organization must make further investments to maintain the application. In addition to the maintenance fee paid to the software vendor, which is typically approximately 20% of the perpetual license fee, the organization must retain both an IT staff capable of maintaining and upgrading the software as well as personnel to train new users to operate the applications.

• Limited incentives to ensure client success. A typical perpetual software license requires the client to pay up-front a material amount for the license, with a significantly smaller amount, typically approximately 20%, paid annually for basic support and upgrades. This model leaves little incentive for the software vendor to ensure a successful implementation and on-going client satisfaction.

Developments in technology have enabled software developers to offer enterprise software applications on an on-demand basis. Leveraging the Internet, multi-tiered architectures, advances in security and open standards for application integration, software vendors can offer software applications to their clients as a service, hosting the software on servers operated by the software vendor. Clients, using an Internet browser, access the applications, which are designed to be easily configured and integrated with a client’s existing applications.

The on-demand model fundamentally changes both the purchasing and deployment of enterprise software from a client perspective. Rather than making large, up-front investments in perpetual licenses, clients purchase limited term subscriptions for on-demand software applications. Further, because only an Internet browser is required to access on-demand software applications, which can be easily configured to meet the buyer’s specific needs, organizations eliminate the expense of ancillary technology and third-party services required to implement, configure and maintain the enterprise application on-site. Finally, the finite duration of client subscriptions provides a strong incentive to software vendors to ensure that the software provides the expected benefits to the client, resulting in consistent customer service. The on-demand model also reduces research and development support costs for the software developer. Because only limited versions of the software exist at any one time, the on-demand model relieves the burden of maintaining and upgrading historical versions of the software.

We believe that talent acquisition and employee performance management applications are particularly well-suited to the on-demand model. Talent acquisition and employee performance management applications are generally purchased by an organization’s HR department. Because the HR departments of most organizations have little historical experience making capital expenditures for enterprise software applications, we believe that providing these departments the opportunity to license software applications on a subscription basis eliminates a major impediment to the adoption of talent acquisition and employee performance management applications.

Our Solution

We are a leading provider of talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions. Our solutions enable organizations to implement systematic talent acquisition practices that ensure the efficient, effective and consistent hiring of qualified individuals. Our solutions also provide employee performance management systems that help to ensure that organizations retain and optimize the performance of qualified individuals and identify employees who fail to perform. Our solutions are built around a suite of easily configurable software applications that automate talent acquisition and employee performance management best practices. We believe that by providing our software applications on an on-demand basis, we materially reduce the costs and risks associated with traditional enterprise software application implementations. We also believe that implementing feature-rich and scalable, or easily configurable on a real-time basis, talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions that meet organizations’ specific needs requires a combination of

7

software, services and domain-specific content. Accordingly, we complement our software applications with consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietary content. Together, these components form solutions that enable our clients to improve the quality of their hiring programs, increase employee productivity and retention and make their talent acquisition and employee performance management programs more cost-effective.

• More effective and consistent talent acquisition programs. Our talent acquisition solutions are comprised of two major components that enable our clients to increase the consistency and effectiveness of their recruiting programs. The first component is our applicant tracking system, which automates and streamlines the recruiting process. The second component is our testing and assessment solutions, which ensures that candidates have the desired knowledge, skills, behavior and experience necessary to be successful in the desired position. Our talent acquisition solutions enable our clients to:

• expand the pool of qualified applicants;

• identify high-potential candidates more quickly;

• accurately measure candidate skills, aptitude and experience;

• create interviews focused on necessary skills and qualities indicative of success;

• increase interview consistency and objectivity;

• identify training needs immediately;

• document compliance with regulatory requirements; and

• ensure cultural fit between candidates and the organization.

• Greater employee productivity and retention. Our employee performance management solutions combine software, proprietary content and consulting services to automate and systematize employee performance management best practices. Specifically, our solutions enable organizations to automate career tracking activities, design and administer effective and consistent employee surveys and implement productive mentoring programs. Our solutions include tools that facilitate the development of action plans to address weaknesses and cultivate strengths identified through these processes. We complement the software components of our solutions with consulting services that help to encourage and manage behavioral change within an organization. As a result, we understand that our clients experience greater employee productivity and improved employee retention after implementing our solutions.

• More cost-effective talent acquisition and employee performance management programs. We believe that our solutions increase the cost-effectiveness of talent acquisition and employee performance management programs in three ways. First, our solutions automate these activities, enabling organizations to maintain smaller HR departments and eliminate some third-party services. Second, our solutions enable organizations to more effectively identify high-potential candidates and retain qualified employees. Third, our solutions provide management the opportunity to achieve economies of scale by outsourcing non-core functions while also ensuring the application of best HR practices and leading technology to these functions.

• Application of analytics to talent acquisition and employee performance management programs. Our solutions enable organizations to use the data generated by their talent acquisition and employee performance management programs in order to improve these programs. Specifically, our solutions enable management to identify overall trends that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their processes. For example, we enable our clients to identify their most productive recruiting channels, establish criteria indicative of success in various roles and identify problems that could lead to employee turnover.

• Ease of integration, configuration and deployment. We provide the software applications that form the core of our solutions on an on-demand basis, eliminating the material expenses and complexity of traditionally purchased and deployed software applications. We combine this deployment model with

8

an intuitive user interface to facilitate rapid and widespread adoption within the HR department. Our solutions are designed for ease of use by non-technical staffing professionals, managers, candidates and employees. We believe that these aspects of our solutions enable organizations to quickly achieve the anticipated benefits.

Our Strategy

Our objective is to be the leading global provider of talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions. Key elements of our strategy include:

• Focus on talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions. Unlike some vendors that provide broad suites of HCM software, we have focused solely on talent acquisition and employee performance management, which are the strategic HR elements of our clients. We believe that this focus has enabled us to deliver solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients in these areas. We also believe that this focus has helped us to generate an increasingly recognized brand in these markets, which are expected to grow at a materially faster rate than the broader HCM market over the next five years. We intend to continue to focus on talent acquisition and employee performance management in order to leverage our increasingly recognized brand in these markets and these positive market dynamics.

• Provide innovative and industry-specific solutions to our clients. During the past three years, we have introduced several new solutions, each in response to the unique needs of our clients. We intend to continue to work closely with our clients to further develop innovative solutions that increase the effectiveness of their recruiting programs and contribute to greater employee retention and productivity. We have also introduced specific solutions for the following vertical industries: financial services and banking; manufacturing; life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals; retail; healthcare; hospitality; call centers; and education. We intend to develop specific solutions for additional vertical industries.

• Cross-sell additional solutions to and further penetrate current clients. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we renewed more than 90% of the aggregate value of multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and performance management solution contracts subject to renewal. This renewal rate provides us with a strong base of recurring revenue. We believe that our strong client relationships provide us with a meaningful opportunity to cross-sell additional solutions to our existing clients and to achieve greater penetration within an organization. We expect to continue to create innovative programs designed to provide our employees with strong incentives to maximize the value from each of our clients.

• Continue to leverage our highly efficient development center in India. We established a technology development center in Hyderabad, India in 2003. We currently have approximately 191 developers working in Hyderabad providing us with low-cost, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week development capabilities. Our cost per developer in India is 70% less than our cost per developer in the United States. We have built a development center in Vizag and intend to transfer our developers to Vizag in 2008. We believe this will continue to leverage this asset to deliver technologically advanced solutions to our clients.

• Expand our global presence and client base. For the year ended December 31, 2007 we have grown to $181.9 million in annual revenue and approximately 4,000 clients. Although our primary focus has been on the U.S. market, our solutions are also well suited to addressing problems faced by organizations outside the United States. In the future, we intend to expand our distribution efforts in Europe, the Middle East and the Asia/Pacific region. Although we have employed a direct sales force in the United States, we intend to expand our international distribution through partnerships. We believe that pursuing a channel strategy enables us to limit the costs associated with international expansion and acknowledges that different geographies present different cultural challenges best addressed by a local sales force.

9

• Pursue complementary acquisitions. We have completed 27 acquisitions of businesses since 1994. These acquisitions have helped us to adapt our business to the evolving needs of our clients. We believe that the HCM market is significantly fragmented. Many competing companies have strong technology or vertical market expertise but lack the scale to compete with the industry leaders in the long term. We continue to identify similarly situated companies that we believe could broaden the functionality and strength of our existing solutions.

Kenexa Survey Technology. We believe that our survey technology enables our clients to conduct employee surveys that are easy to administer even though the underlying organizational requirements are extremely complex. Our survey technology is comprised of:

• Surveys Online. A web-based survey system that has been load-tested to process more than 1 million surveys within a 24-hour period.

• OrgMapper. An automated software system that simplifies the process of mapping an organization to ensure appropriate recording capabilities and options.

• Survey Ordering System. An automated online system that accepts orders, distributes and tracks employee surveys for geographically distributed organizations.

• Kenexa Survey Scorecard. A software system that integrates data derived from our surveys into a secure, web-based online portal that enables managers to view survey results, identify areas for improvement, automate action-planning to address weaknesses and track progress against action-plans. It also integrates proprietary content from our HR best practices database to guide managers in the action-planning process.

• Kenexa Online Dynamic Reporting. A flexible, secure, web-based reporting tool for employee surveys which includes a variety of pre-designed reports as well as facilitates the design of custom reports.

Multi-rater surveys. These surveys combine software, proprietary content and consulting services to provide our clients with a comprehensive outsourced competency assessment service, including design, administration and reporting. The solution integrates our competency library, which contains more than 40 competencies and a broad array of assessment items designed to measure the discrete behaviors that comprise a competency, with consulting services provided by our staff psychologists who have significant experience developing, implementing and validating competency assessments.

Employee engagement surveys. Our consultants assist our clients in designing, administering and analyzing employee engagement surveys. We developed our Employee Engagement model through studies of organizational effectiveness and a comprehensive review of the academic literature related to employee commitment, psychological ownership, organizational pride, loyalty and satisfaction. We conduct analyses which link survey results to business metrics. By linking the survey results to clients’ performance variables, we can recommend actions for improved performance. We have documented the relationship between employee attitudes and business outcomes such as customer satisfaction, employee retention and management effectiveness. We have used this information to improve customer satisfaction, to increase efficiency and ultimately to increase our clients’ financial performance.

Employment Process Outsourcing

In concert with providing talent acquisition and employment performance management solutions that enable organizations to implement best practices in these areas, we provide our clients with the option of outsourcing to us certain aspects of their staffing operations and recruiting campaigns, including the sourcing, recruiting, screening, assessment and on-boarding of employees. Acknowledging that organizations need to retain strategic control of their HR programs, we offer our clients the ability to outsource only the tactical components and design solutions that meet each client’s specific objectives. These solutions combine our services and technology in what we believe is an integrated delivery platform that allows organizations to manage fluctuation in hiring needs and leverage shared infrastructure to reduce costs. We employ a team of experienced staffing professionals who have worked in the internal departments of some of the world's largest companies and have completed our comprehensive proprietary training and certification program.

12

We believe our employment process outsourcing, or EPO, services enable our clients to reduce operating costs, focus on their core business, create a variable cost structure around certain non-strategic HR functions, improve the quality of certain HR functions, foster innovation and obtain access to leading technology without the corresponding investment to own the technology themselves. Clients contract for our EPO services for a pre-determined period. Generally, we enter into service level agreements with our clients to ensure the quality of our services.

Our EPO services include the following:

• Process consulting. We perform needs analyses and advise clients on the implementation of technology and processes to optimize their talent acquisition operations.

• Staffing department management services. We assume all or discrete parts of the staffing function on an outsourced basis.

• On-site staffing professional support. We provide on-site support for ongoing staffing operations or during large scale hiring initiatives.

• Multi-channel sourcing strategy development and execution. We develop and execute a multi-channel sourcing strategy that allows our clients to expand their candidate pool and control costs. A multi-channel sourcing strategy may include leveraging direct recruitment, Internet mining, traditional advertising, Internet job postings, career centers, internal candidate review and career/job fairs.

• Employee referral program administration. We establish and administer our clients’ employee referral program, including promoting the program among employees, creating incentive strategies that further our clients’ goals, recording referrals and administering payments.

• Direct sourcing. We maintain off-site teams of recruiting professionals at our offices in Wayne, Pennsylvania and Hyderabad, India. These professionals support major hiring initiatives for our clients and handle recruiting projects on an ongoing basis. We believe that our investment in technology and productivity tools offers our clients efficiency and reduced costs over other available sourcing options.

• Program Outsourcing. We help our clients to develop effective, cost-efficient strategies to conduct large and small scale recruitment campaigns. These strategies can be executed either by our clients’ internal HR department or outsourced to a team of our professionals, or a combination of both. Program Outsourcing programs can include evaluating the talent acquisition mission and business objectives, mapping recruitment processes and execution strategies, engaging hiring management and key stakeholders in defining deliverables, creating a detailed definition of a qualified candidate for each hiring manager, executing candidate sourcing, screening and assessment, managing the candidate interview, selection, hiring and communication process, providing comprehensive weekly and monthly reports which detail current progress against pre-established performance measures and metrics and concluding the assignment with a project summary and “lessons learned” to facilitate knowledge transfer. Executive candidate sourcing is the practice of identifying, contacting and soliciting individuals for the purpose of screening and selecting for hire.

Our EPO services are provided in concert with our talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions and we have developed proprietary technology for large volume sourcing performed by our sourcing center in Hyderabad, India, enabling us to provide these services in an efficient and scalable manner.

Customer Support

We believe that superior customer support is critical to our clients. Our customer support group assists our clients by answering questions and troubleshooting our solutions. Customer support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by telephone and Internet from a member of our customer support team. Members of our customer support team receive comprehensive training and orientation to ensure that our clients receive high-quality

13

support and service. Each of our clients is assigned a single point of contact. When an issue is reported to us, our customer support personnel follow a clearly defined escalation process to ensure that mission-critical issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the client. We believe that our customer service model has materially contributed to our client retention rate. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we renewed more than 90% of the aggregate value of multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and performance management solution contracts subject to renewal.

We utilize our talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions to recruit and manage our customer support personnel. We believe that applying these solutions to our customer service department has resulted in a customer support group with superior skills, competencies and aptitude for customer service. As of December 31, 2007, our customer support group consisted of 655 employees. Our main customer support groups reside in the following locations: Hyderabad, India; Waltham, Massachusetts; Richardson, Texas; Wayne, Pennsylvania; Lincoln, Nebraska; London, England and Harrow, England.

Technology, Development and Operations

Technology

Our integrated suite of talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions is built on a multi-tier, platform independent Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, or J2EE, architecture using our Core Application Framework, which consists of open source components, commercially available products and our own proprietary tools. The Core Application Framework consists of the following components:

• User Layer. The user layer consists of a commonly used web browser. We use Java Server Pages and a Servlet-based server-side application to support the browser-based interface.

• Business Layer. Our Business Object Framework supports the business logic of our applications as well as providing comprehensive auditing functionality, security, multi-threading and component pooling.

• Integration Layer. Our integration tier provides integration with a wide range of third-party tools, job boards and applications, such as Oracle (PeopleSoft), SAP, ADP, Siebel Systems and Lawson, to support the needs of our clients. We are dedicated to the development and promotion of a standard suite of XML specifications to enable e-business and the automation of human resources-related data exchanges. The HR-XML consortium has recognized and certified Kenexa in this regard.

• Data Layer. Our Data Access Framework supports collection pooling, session management and optimization of data retrieval. We use Oracle RDBMS as our database engine in the Data Layer.

Our software is designed to support easy-to-use features such as dynamic workflows, job templates and user configuration that enable clients to adapt the application for their specific requirements. Dynamic workflows are designs that facilitate business processes whereby one step in the process cannot be completed until all prior steps have been completed.

We provide our clients with two options to use our solutions. Most of our clients use our solutions on an on-demand basis, with only a limited number of our clients implementing our solutions on-site.

Development

Innovation is an important part of our business. We believe that three primary factors drive our innovation: our employees, our domain experts and our clients. We have a formalized system to cultivate participation from all of our employees in research and development. We also leverage the experience of our research scholars and domain experts, who produce white papers, case studies and thought pieces which form the foundation for our innovation. Our research and development team maintains a repository of ideas, and selected ideas are presented to the market validation team. Market validated ideas progress to the prototype stage. The executive team

14

reviews prototypes and selects those with the highest potential, which then enter the product development phase. In addition to our employees and domain experts, some of the key ideas are generated from client feedback gathered during user group meetings, client symposiums, and advisory counsels.

We follow a development methodology that we believe allows us to develop projects quickly and then proceed on a predictable, low risk path for high-quality results. We conduct our product development through our global development centers, primarily at our highly efficient facility in India, which we established in 2003. At December 31, 2007 we employed approximately 357 developers of which 191 developers are located in India. Our development process is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

Operations

Our data center in Sterling, Virginia serves as the primary hosting facility for our on-demand solutions. We also have data centers in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, England, and India. We adhere to industry standards and best practices in our global operations. We also deliver world-class hosted solutions that are highly available, scalable and reliable across our suite of HCM solutions. We offer best-in-industry security to our customers by partnering with CyberTrust to achieve Security Perimeter Certification and Application Certification. We deliver quality service with service level guarantees to clients.

Our Hosting Operations and Security teams include multiple Certified Information Systems Security Professionals, or CISSPs, with training in the latest security and availability threats. Our data centers are continuously and proactively monitored by a comprehensive set of tools and personnel, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our hosted data center has built-in power redundancy from multiple power grids with uninterrupted power supplies backed up by N+1 diesel generators to provide uninterrupted service to our clients. The hosted infrastructure is designed with a focus on quality, reliability, scalability and security.

Clients

As of December 31, 2007, we had a base of approximately 4,000 active clients over a number of industries, including financial services and banking, manufacturing, life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, retail, healthcare, hospitality, call centers, and education, including 199 companies on the Fortune 500 list published in April 2007. Our client base includes companies that we billed for services during the year ended December 31, 2007 and does not necessarily indicate an ongoing relationship with each such client. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we provided our talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions on a subscription basis to approximately 3,805 clients, with an average subscription term of two years. Other than a small number of perpetual license sales, the remainder of our clients in 2007 engaged us to provide discrete professional services and may not engage us for future services once a project is completed. No single client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2007.

Sales and Marketing

Our target clients are large- and medium-sized organizations with complex talent acquisition and employee performance management needs. We sell our solutions to both new and existing clients primarily through our direct sales force, which is comprised of inside sales, telesales and field sales personnel. As of December 31, 2007, we had 162 sales and marketing representatives. Our marketing strategy focuses on generating qualified sales leads and building our brand. Among various locations we generate sales leads through a combination of the marketing efforts described below and a third-party lead generation service. We have sales offices located in Wayne, Pennsylvania; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Lincoln, Nebraska; Waltham, Massachusetts; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, California; London, England; Harrow, England; Toronto, Canada; Richardson, Texas; Hyderabad, India; Melbourne, Australia; Munich, Germany; Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Hong Kong, China.

15

We believe that our client relationships provide us with a meaningful opportunity to cross-sell additional solutions to our existing clients and to achieve greater penetration within the organization. We have established a program intended to increase cross-selling into our largest clients, and we expect to continue to create innovative programs designed to incent our employees and maximize the value from each of our clients.

Our marketing initiatives are generally targeted toward specific vertical industries or specific solutions. Our marketing programs primarily consist of:

• participation in, and sponsorship of, conferences, trade shows and industry events;

• direct mail and email campaigns;

• advertising in trade magazines;

• distribution of white papers, case studies and thought leadership documents; and

• using our website to provide product and company information.

We have focused our public relations efforts on building our brand.

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property rights are important to our business. We rely on a combination of patents, copyright, trade secret, trademark and other common laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property.

Although we rely on patents, copyright, trade secret and trademark law, written agreements and common law, we believe that the following factors are more essential to establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage:

• the technological skills of our research and development personnel;

• the domain expertise of our consultants and outsourcing service professionals;

• frequent enhancements to our solutions;

• continued expansion of our proprietary content; and

• high levels of customer service.

Others may develop products that are similar to our technology. We generally enter into confidentiality and other written agreements with our employees and partners, and through these and other written agreements, we attempt to control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary technology and other information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, third parties may, in an unauthorized manner, attempt to use, copy or otherwise obtain and market or distribute our intellectual property rights or technology or otherwise develop a product with the same functionality as our software. Policing unauthorized use of our software and intellectual property rights is difficult, and nearly impossible on a worldwide basis. Therefore, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken or will take in the future will prevent misappropriation of our technology or intellectual property rights, particularly in foreign countries where we do business or where our software is sold or used, where the laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States or where enforcement of such laws is not common or effective.

Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in the software industry. From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to claims relating to our intellectual property rights or those of others, and we expect that third parties may commence legal proceedings or otherwise assert intellectual property claims against us in the future, particularly as we expand the complexity and scope of our business, the

16

number of similar products increases and the functionality of these products further overlap. We cannot be certain that no third party intellectual property rights that exist could result in a claim against us in the future. These actual and potential claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages. In addition, even if we prevail, litigation could be time consuming and expensive to defend and could affect our business materially and adversely. Any claims or litigation from third parties may also limit our ability to use various business processes, software and hardware, other systems, technologies or intellectual property subject to these claims or litigation, unless we enter into license agreements with the third parties. However, these agreements may be unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, or not available at all.

Competition

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, intense competition from a number of companies. We compete with niche point solution vendors, such as Authoria, Inc., iCIMS, Inc., Integrated Performance Systems, Inc., InScope Corporation, PeopleClick, Inc., Kronos, Pilat HR Solutions, Inc., Previsor, Inc., Vurv Technology Inc., SHL Group plc, SuccessFactors, Inc., and Taleo Corporation, that offer products that compete with one or more applications in our suite of solutions. In some aspects of our business, we also compete with established vendors of enterprise resource planning software with much greater resources, such as Oracle Corporation (PeopleSoft), SAP AG, Siebel Systems, Inc. and Lawson, Inc. To a lesser extent, we compete with vendors of employment process outsourcing services and survey services such as Accolo, Inc., The Gallup Organization, Hyrian, LLC and Recruitment Enhancement Services.

We believe the principal competitive factors in our industry include:

• solution breadth and functionality;

• ease of deployment, integration and configuration;

• domain expertise;

• industry-specific expertise;

• service support, including consulting services and outsourcing services;

• solution price;

• breadth of sales infrastructure; and

• breadth of customer support.

We believe that we generally compete favorably with respect to these factors.

We may face future competition in the talent acquisition and employee performance management market from large, established companies, such as Oracle and SAP, as well as from emerging companies. Barriers to entry into our industry are relatively low, new software products are frequently introduced and existing products are continually enhanced. In addition, we expect that there is likely to be consolidation in our industry, which would lead to increased price competition and other forms of competition. Established companies not only may develop their own competitive products, but may also acquire or establish cooperative relationships with current or future competitors, including cooperative relationships between both larger, established and smaller public and private companies.

In addition, our ability to sell our solutions will depend, in part, on the compatibility of our software with software provided by our competitors. Our competitors could alter their products so that they will no longer be compatible with our software or they could deny or delay access by us to advance software releases, which would limit our ability to adapt our software to these new releases. If our competitors were to bundle their products in this manner or make their products non-compatible with ours, our ability to sell our solutions might be harmed and could reduce our gross margins and operating income.

17

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, we had 1,373 employees, consisting of 162 employees in sales and marketing, 357 employees in development, 655 employees in delivery of our solutions and 199 employees in general and administrative positions. None of our employees are represented by a union. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good and have not experienced any interruptions of our operations as a result of labor disagreements.

Securities and Exchange Commission Filings

Our Securities and Exchange Commission filings are available free of charge on our website, www.kenexa.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports are posted on our website as soon as practicable after we furnish such materials to the SEC.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a market environment that involves significant risks, many of which are beyond our control. The following risk factors may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and the market price of our common stock. Although we believe that we have identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting our business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect our performance or financial condition.

Our business may not continue to grow if the markets for our products do not continue to grow.

Our growth is dependent upon the continued adoption of on-demand software as a key mechanism for delivering solutions in these markets. The rapidly evolving nature of this market reduces our ability to accurately evaluate our future prospects and forecast quarterly or annual performance. The adoption of on-demand talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions, particularly among organizations that have relied upon traditional software applications, requires the acceptance of a new way of conducting business and exchanging and compiling information. Because these markets are new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any assurance the future growth rate and size of these markets which, in comparison with the overall market for enterprise software applications, is relatively small.

If our on-demand delivery model is not widely accepted, our operating results will be harmed.

The on-demand delivery of enterprise software is new and, to a large extent, unproven, and it is uncertain whether this model will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market acceptance. The majority of our clients access and use our software solutions on an on-demand basis. If the preferences of our clients change and our clients elect to deploy our software on-site, either upon the initiation of a new agreement or upon the renewal of an existing agreement, we would potentially incur higher costs and encounter greater complexity in providing maintenance and support for our software. Potential clients may be reluctant or unwilling to purchase enterprise software on-demand for a number of reasons, including security and data privacy concerns. If such organizations do not adopt the on-demand delivery model, then the market for our solutions may develop more slowly than we expect. The inability of our on-demand delivery model to achieve widespread market acceptance would harm our business.

Our business will suffer if our existing clients terminate or do not renew their software subscriptions.

We expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from renewals of subscriptions for our talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions. During the year ended December 31, 2007, our clients renewed more than 90% of the aggregate value of multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and performance management solution contracts subject to renewal. If our clients terminate their agreements, fail to renew their agreements, renew their agreements upon less favorable terms to us or fail to purchase new solutions from us, our revenue may decline or our future revenue growth may be constrained.

18

Maintaining the renewal rate of our existing subscriptions is critical to our future success. Factors that may affect the renewal rate for our solutions include:

• the price, performance and functionality of our solutions;

• the availability, price, performance and functionality of competing products and services;

• the effectiveness of our support services; and

• our ability to develop complementary products and services.

Most of our existing clients have entered into subscription agreements with us that expire between one and three years from the initial contract date. Our clients have the right to terminate their contracts under certain circumstances and are not obligated to renew their subscriptions for our solutions after the expiration of the initial terms of their subscription agreements. In addition, our clients may negotiate terms which are less favorable to us upon renewal, or may request that we license our software to them on a perpetual basis, which may reduce recurring revenue from these clients. Our future success also depends in part on our ability to sell new solutions to our existing clients.

If we fail to develop or acquire new products or enhance our existing solutions to meet the needs of our existing and future clients, our revenue may decline.

To remain competitive, we must continually improve and enhance the responsiveness, functionality and features of our existing solutions and develop new solutions that address the talent acquisition and employee performance management requirements of organizations. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new solutions or enhance our existing solutions, our revenue may decline and our business and operating results will be adversely affected. Since our initial public offering, we have introduced enhanced solutions. We intend to continue to introduce enhanced solutions to generate additional revenue, attract new clients and respond to competition. We may not succeed in developing or introducing new or enhanced solutions or developing or introducing them in a timely manner, and new or enhanced solutions that we develop or introduce may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue.

In addition, it is possible that evolving technology may enable new deployment mechanisms that make our on-demand business model obsolete. To the extent that we are not successful in continuing to develop our solutions in correlation with evolving technology, we may not be successful in establishing or maintaining our client relationships.

We may engage in future acquisitions or investments which present many risks, and we may not realize the anticipated financial and strategic goals for any of these transactions.

We have focused on developing solutions for the enterprise talent acquisition and employee performance management market. Our market is highly fragmented and in the future we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, services or technologies. Acquisitions and investments involve a number of difficulties that present risks to our business, including the following:

• we may be unable to achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquisition or investment;

• we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business, and may have difficulty retaining the key personnel of the acquired business;

• we may have difficulty incorporating the acquired technologies or products with our existing solutions;

• our ongoing business and management's attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically and culturally diverse locations;

• we may lose customers of those companies that we acquire for reasons such as a particular customer desiring to have multiple service vendors;

19

• we may have difficulty maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies across locations; and

• we may experience significant problems or liabilities associated with product quality, technology and legal contingencies.

The factors noted above could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or cash flows, particularly in the case of a larger acquisition or multiple acquisitions in a short period of time. From time to time, we may enter into negotiations for acquisitions or investments that are not ultimately consummated. These negotiations could result in significant diversion of management time, as well as out-of-pocket costs.

The consideration paid for an investment or acquisition may also affect our financial results. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash or obtain debt or equity financing. To the extent that we issue shares of our capital stock or other rights to purchase shares of our capital stock as consideration for an acquisition or in connection with the financing of an acquisition, including options or other rights, our existing shareholders may be diluted, and our earnings per share may decrease. In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt, large one-time write-offs, including write-offs of acquired in-process research and development costs, and restructuring charges. Acquisitions in the future may require us to incur additional indebtedness to finance our working capital and may also result in goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to impairment tests, which could result in future impairment charges.

If our efforts to attract new clients or to sell additional solutions to our existing clients are not successful, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenue, we must continually add new clients and sell additional solutions to existing clients. If our existing and prospective clients do not perceive our solutions to be of sufficiently high value and quality, we may not be able to attract new clients or to increase sales to existing clients. Our ability to attract new clients and to sell new solutions to existing clients will depend in large part on the success of our sales and marketing efforts. However, our existing and prospective clients may not be familiar with some of our solutions, or may have traditionally used other products and services for some of their talent acquisition and employee performance management requirements. Our existing and prospective clients may develop their own solutions to address their talent acquisition and employee performance management requirements, purchase competitive product offerings or engage third-party providers of outsourced talent acquisition and employee performance management services. Additionally, some clients may require that we license our software to them on a perpetual basis or that we allow them the contractual right to convert from a term license to a perpetual license during the contract term, which may reduce recurring revenue from these clients.

If we are unable to compete effectively with companies offering enterprise talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions, our revenue may decline.

We may not have the resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. If we are unable to successfully compete, we could lose existing clients, fail to attract new clients and our revenue would decline. The talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions markets are rapidly evolving and highly competitive, and we expect competition in these markets to persist and intensify. Barriers to entry into our industry are low, new software products are frequently introduced and existing products are continually enhanced. We compete with niche point solution vendors such as Authoria, Inc., iCIMS, Inc., Integrated Performance Systems, Inc., InScope Corporation, Kronos Incorporated, PeopleClick, Inc., Pilat HR Solutions, Inc., Previsor, Inc., SHL Group plc, SuccessFactors, Inc., Taleo Corporation and Vurv Technology, Inc. that offer products that compete with one or more applications contained in our solutions. In some aspects of our business, we also compete with established vendors of enterprise resource planning, or

20

ERP, software with much greater resources, such as Oracle Corporation (PeopleSoft), SAP AG and Lawson, Inc. To a lesser extent, we compete with vendors of employment process outsourcing services and survey services such as Accolo, Inc., The Gallup Organization, Hyrian, LLC and Recruitment Enhancement Services. In addition, many organizations have developed or may develop internal solutions to address enterprise talent acquisition and employee performance management requirements that may be competitive with our solutions.

Some of our competitors and potential competitors, especially vendors of ERP software, have significantly greater financial, support, technical, development, marketing, sales, service and other resources, larger installed client bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships than we have. In addition, ERP software competitors could bundle their products with, or incorporate capabilities in addition to, talent acquisition and employee performance management functions, such as automated payroll and benefits, in products developed by themselves or others. Products with such additional functions may be appealing to some clients because they would reduce the number of different types of software or applications used to run their businesses. Our niche competitors’ products may be more effective than our solutions at performing particular talent acquisition and employee performance management functions or may be more customized for particular client needs in a given market. Further, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to changes in client requirements or regulatory changes.

Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors could weaken our competitive position or reduce our revenue.

We believe that our industry is highly fragmented and that there is likely to be consolidation, which could lead to increased price competition and other forms of competition. Increased competition may cause pricing pressure and loss of market share, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our competitors may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with business process outsourcing vendors, systems integrators, third-party consulting firms or other parties. Established companies may not only develop their own products but may also merge with or acquire our current competitors. In addition, we may face competition in the future from large established companies, as well as from emerging companies that have not previously entered the markets for talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions or that currently do not have products that directly compete with our solutions. It is also possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share or sell their products at significantly discounted prices causing pricing pressure. In addition, our competitors may announce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the price or performance needs of clients or changing industry standards. If any of these events occur, our revenues and profitability could significantly decline.

If we encounter barriers to the integration of our software with software provided by our competitors or with the software used by our clients, our revenue may decline and our research and development expenses may increase.

In some cases our software may need to be integrated with software provided by our competitors. These competitors could alter their products in ways that inhibit integration with our software, or they could deny or delay access by us to advance software releases, which would restrict our ability to adapt our software to facilitate integration with these new releases and could result in lost sales opportunities. In addition, our software is designed to be compatible with the most common third-party ERP systems. If the design of these ERP systems changes, integration of our software with new systems would require significant work and substantial allocation of our time and resources and increase our research and development expenses.

Reductions in information technology spending could limit our ability to grow our business.

Our operating results may vary based on changes in the information technology spending of our clients. The revenue growth and profitability of our business depend on the overall demand for enterprise application

21

software and services. We sell our solutions primarily to large organizations whose businesses fluctuate with general economic and business conditions. As a result, decreased demand for enterprise application software and services, and in particular talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions, caused by a weakening global economy may cause a decline in our revenue. Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in corporate information technology spending. In particular, software for talent acquisition and employee performance management software may be viewed by some of our existing and potential clients as a lower priority and may be among the first expenditures reduced as a result of unfavorable economic conditions. In the future, potential clients may decide to reduce their information technology budgets by deferring or reconsidering product purchases, which would negatively impact our operating results.

Because we recognize revenue from the sale of our solutions ratably over the term of the subscription period, a significant downturn in our business may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.

A decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one quarter may not impact our financial performance in that quarter, but will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. If a number of contracts expire and are not renewed in the same quarter, our revenue could decline significantly in that quarter and in subsequent quarters.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we derived approximately 81.7%, 80.7% and 77.7%, respectively, of our total revenue, from the sale of subscriptions for our solutions and expect that a significant portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future will be derived from those subscriptions. We recognize the associated revenue ratably over the term of the subscription agreement, which is typically between one and three years. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue that we report in each quarter reflects the recognition of deferred revenue from subscription agreements entered into during previous periods. Accordingly, the effect of significant declines in sales and market acceptance of our solutions may not be reflected in our short-term results of operations, making our results less indicative of our future prospects.

If our revenue does not meet our expectations, we may not be able to curtail our spending quickly enough and our cost of revenue, compensation and benefits and product development would increase as a percentage of revenue. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any one period, as revenue from new clients is recognized over the applicable subscription term.

Our financial performance may be difficult to forecast as a result of our focus on large clients and the long sales cycle associated with our solutions.

Our sales cycles are generally up to nine months and in some cases even longer. This long sales cycle impedes our ability to accurately forecast the timing of sales in a given period which could adversely affect our ability to meet our forecasts for that period. We focus our sales efforts principally on large organizations with complex talent acquisition and employee performance management requirements. Accordingly, in any single quarter the majority of our revenue from sales to new clients may be composed of large sales made to a relatively small number of clients. Our failure to close a sale in any particular quarter may impede revenue growth until the sale closes, if at all. As a result, substantial time and cost may be spent attempting to close a sale that may not be successful. The period between an initial sales contact and a contract signing is relatively long due to several factors, including:

• the need to educate potential clients about the uses and benefits of our solutions and the on-demand delivery model;

• the discretionary nature of our clients’ purchase and budget cycles;

• the competitive evaluation of our solutions;

• fluctuations in the talent acquisition and employee performance management requirements of our prospective clients;

22

• potential economic downturns and reductions in corporate IT spending;

• announcements or planned introductions of new products or services by us or our competitors; and

• the lengthy purchasing approval processes of our prospective clients.

Interruptions or delays in service from our Web hosting facilities could impair the delivery of our service and harm our business.

We provide our service through computer hardware and software that is currently located in a Web hosting facility from Qwest in Sterling, VA that we manage. All Web hosting facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. These facilities are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of terrorism, vandalism and similar misconduct. Despite precautions that we take at these facilities, the occurrence of a natural disaster, act of terrorism or other unanticipated problem at any of these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our service. Interruptions in our service may reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our renewal rates. Our business will be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our service is unreliable or if our Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) fails to provide adequate disaster recovery capabilities.

If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to client data, clients may curtail or stop their use of our solutions, which would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our solutions involve the storage and transmission of confidential information of clients and their existing and potential employees, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of, or unauthorized access to, this information, resulting in possible litigation and possible liability. Although we have never sustained such a breach, if our security measures were ever breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and, as a result, an unauthorized party obtained access to this confidential data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not discovered until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose sales and clients.

Because our products collect and analyze applicants’ and employees’ stored personal information, concerns that our products do not adequately protect the privacy of applicants and employees could inhibit sales of our products.

Some of the features of our talent acquisition and employee performance management applications depend on the ability to develop and maintain profiles of applicants and employees for use by our clients. These profiles contain personal information, including job experience, home address and home telephone number. Typically, our software applications capture this personal information when an applicant creates a profile to apply for a job and an employee completes a performance review. Our software applications augment these profiles over time by capturing additional data and collecting usage data. Although our applications are designed to protect user privacy, privacy concerns nevertheless may cause employees and applicants to resist providing the personal data necessary to support our products. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns could inhibit sales of our products and seriously harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

23

We may increase our sales and marketing efforts to clients outside the United States, which would expose us to additional risks associated with international operations, including the risks of managing a geographically diverse operation and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

As a part of our future business strategy, we intend to increase our international sales efforts in Canada, Europe and Asia. We currently maintain international sales offices in Toronto, Canada; London, England; Harrow, England; Hyderabad, India; Munich, Germany; Hong Kong, China; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Melbourne, Australia; Singapore and Taipei, Taiwan. We recently opened an additional sales office in Vizag, India. We may not be successful in these efforts. International operations and sales subject us to risks and challenges that we would otherwise not face if we conducted our business only in the United States. For example, we will depend on third parties to market our solutions through foreign sales channels, and we may be challenged by laws and business practices favoring local competitors. In addition, our ability to succeed in foreign markets will depend on the ability of our software to properly filter foreign languages. We must also adopt our pricing structure to address different pricing environments and may face difficulty in enforcing revenue collection internationally.

In addition, a portion of our international sales are denominated in foreign currencies, and we incur operating expenses in Indian rupees, British pounds and Canadian dollars. We expect our exposure to foreign exchange gains and losses to increase in the future.

We may be unsuccessful in transitioning to a new development center in Vizag, India.

We have constructed a facility in Vizag, India that will serve as the center of our development activities in India, which are presently located in facilities that we lease in Hyderabad, India. We intend to move the majority of our developers from our existing offices in Hyderabad, India to our new facility in Vizag, India. We cannot assure you that the transition of development activities from the existing facility to the new facility will be successful. Some of our existing developers may not desire to make such a move and as a result may terminate their employment with us. We may not be successful in hiring new developers at the facility in Vizag. In addition, Vizag, India may not have all the necessary infrastructure capabilities that we require to operate our development center. Accordingly, we may experience network, telecommunications and other infrastructure disruptions in connection with our move to the new facility and we may experience problems hiring or retaining qualified employees or third party service providers that are needed for the successful operation of our development center. In addition, such a move will result in added expense. Such a move may disrupt our business operations. If a substantial number of our existing employees do not continue their employment with us upon the opening of the new facility or if the location of the new facility does not have appropriate infrastructure capabilities to meet our business needs, our business may be harmed and our results of operation may suffer.

If the unemployment rate increases materially, our business may be harmed.

To the extent that the unemployment rate increases materially, our existing and potential clients may no longer consider improvement of their talent acquisition and employee performance management systems a necessity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Demand for our solutions depends in part on our clients’ ability to hire their employees. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. unemployment rate in December 2007 was 5.0%, which is low by historical standards.

Material defects or errors in our software could affect our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our solutions, which would harm our business.

The software applications forming part of our solutions may contain material defects or errors, which could materially and adversely affect our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our solutions in the future. The costs incurred in correcting any material product defects or errors may be substantial

24

and would adversely affect our operating results. After the release of our products, defects or errors may also be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our clients. Such defects or errors may occur in the future. Any defects that cause interruptions to the availability of our solutions could result in:

• lost or delayed market acceptance and sales of our solutions;

• loss of clients;

• product liability suits against us;

• diversion of development resources;

• injury to our reputation; and

• increased maintenance and warranty costs.

If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive advantage could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, experience reduced revenue and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

Our intellectual property rights are important to our business, and our success is dependent, in part, on protecting our proprietary software and technology and our brand, marks and domain names. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret and other common laws in the United States and other jurisdictions as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. It may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our software and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with ours, which could harm our competitive position and cause our revenue to decline.

We have three issued patents, and additionally we have four pending patent applications. There is no guarantee that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will grant these patents, or do so in a manner that gives us the protection that we seek. We will not be able to protect our intellectual property if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Existing intellectual property laws only afford limited protection.

To the extent that we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our software and proprietary information may increase. Some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of our licensed products may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries in which we operate. Further, the laws of some countries, and in particular India, where we develop much of our intellectual property, do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. For example, companies seeking to enforce proprietary rights in India can experience substantial delays in prosecuting trademarks and in opposition proceedings. In the event that we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, especially those rights that we develop in India, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, either of which could seriously harm our business.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected if we are subject to a protracted infringement claim or a claim that results in a significant damage award.

We expect that software product developers, such as ourselves, will increasingly be subjected to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Our competitors or other third parties may challenge the validity or scope of our intellectual property rights. A claim may also be made relating to technology that we acquire or license

25

from third parties. If we were subject to a claim of infringement, regardless of the merit of the claim or our defenses, the claim could:

• require costly litigation to defend and resolve, and the payment of substantial damages;

• require significant management time and attention;

• cause us to enter into unfavorable royalty or license agreements;

• require us to discontinue the sale of our solutions;

• create negative publicity that adversely affects the demand for our solutions;

• require us to indemnify our clients; and/or

• require us to expend additional development resources to redesign our software.

Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our software.

Changes in the regulatory environment and general economic condition in India and elsewhere could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Adverse changes in the business or regulatory climate in India could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, wages in India are increasing at a faster rate than in the United States. In the event that wages continue to rise, the cost benefit of operating in India and elsewhere may diminish. India has also experienced significant inflation in the past and has been subject to civil unrest and terrorism. There can be no assurance that these and other factors will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We employ technology licensed from third parties for use in or with our solutions, and the loss or inability to maintain these licenses on similar terms or errors in the software we license could result in increased costs, or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect our business.

We include in the distribution of our solutions certain technology obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology and development tools from third parties in the future. There may not always be commercially reasonable software alternatives to the third-party software that we currently license, or any such alternatives may be more difficult or costly to replace than the third-party software that we currently license. In addition, integration of our software with new third-party software may require significant work and substantial allocation of our time and resources. Also, to the extent we depend upon the successful operation of third-party products in conjunction with our software, any undetected errors in these third-party products could prevent the implementation or impair the functionality of our software, delay new solution introductions and injure our reputation. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties, which could result in higher costs.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall.

As a result of fluctuations in our revenue and operating expenses, our quarterly operating results may vary significantly. We may not be able to curtail our spending quickly enough if our revenue falls short of our expectations. We expect that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the future as we expand our selling

26

and marketing activities, increase our new product development efforts and hire additional personnel. Our operating results may fluctuate in the future as a result of the factors described below and elsewhere in this prospectus:

• our ability to renew and increase subscriptions sold to existing clients, attract new clients, cross-sell our solutions and satisfy our clients’ requirements;

• changes in our pricing policies;

• the introduction of new features to our solutions;

• the rate of expansion and effectiveness of our sales force;

• the length of the sales cycle for our solutions;

• new product and service introductions by our competitors;

• concentration of marketing expenses for activities, such as trade shows and advertising campaigns;

• concentration of research and development costs; and

• concentration of expenses associated with commissions earned on sales of subscriptions for our solutions.

We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful as our future revenue and results of operations may vary substantially. It is also possible that in future quarters our results of operations will be below the expectations of securities market analysts and investors. In either case, the price of our common stock could decline, possibly materially.

If we do not retain our executive officers, our ability to manage our business and continue our growth could be negatively impacted.

We have grown significantly in recent years, and our management remains concentrated in a small number of executive officers, most of whom have been employed with us for at least five years. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service of these executive officers, namely Nooruddin S. Karsan, Troy A. Kanter, Donald F. Volk, Sarah M. Teten, and Archie L. Jones, Jr. as well as our other key employees, software engineers and senior technical and sales personnel. We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our employees. The loss of the services of any of these individuals or group of individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Competition for qualified personnel in the software industry is intense, and we compete for these personnel with other software companies that have greater financial and other resources than we do. If we lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or other key personnel, or if one or more of them decide to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, our business could be harmed. Searching for replacements for key personnel could also divert management’s time and attention and result in increased operating expenses.

We will not be able to maintain our revenue growth if we do not attract, train or retain qualified sales personnel.

If we fail to successfully maintain and expand our sales force, our future revenue and profitability will be adversely affected. We depend on our direct sales force for substantially all of our revenue and intend to make significant expenditures in upcoming years to expand our sales force. Our future success will depend in part upon the continued expansion and increased productivity of our sales force. To the extent that we experience attrition in our direct sales force, we will need to hire replacements. We face intense competition for sales personnel in the software industry, and we may not be successful in hiring, training or retaining our sales personnel in accordance with our plans. Even if we hire and train a sufficient number of sales personnel, we may not generate enough additional revenue to exceed the expense of hiring and training the new personnel.

27

Failure to implement the appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth could harm our growth, business, operating results and financial condition.

We are currently experiencing a period of rapid growth in our operations, which has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational, technical and financial infrastructure. In particular, continued rapid growth will require us to invest significant resources in additional infrastructure and to hire additional personnel. We increased our employee base from 393 employees on December 31, 2003 to 522 employees on December 31, 2004, 693 employees on December 31, 2005, 1,220 employees on December 31, 2006 and 1,373 employees on December 31, 2007, including 134 and 25 employees that we acquired as a part of our acquisitions of Strategic Outsourcing Corporation in June 2007 and HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH in August 2007, respectively. To manage our growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management processes and controls and reporting systems and procedures. This effort may require us to make significant capital expenditures or to incur significant expenses, and may divert the attention of our personnel from our core business operations, any of which may adversely affect our financial performance. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, our business, operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Evolving European Union regulations related to confidentiality of personal data may adversely affect our business.

In order to provide our solutions to our clients, we rely in part on our ability to access our clients’ employee data. The European Union and other jurisdictions have adopted various data protection regulations related to the confidentiality of personal data. To date, these regulations have not restricted our business as we have qualified for a safe harbor available for U.S. companies that collect personal data from areas under the jurisdiction of the European Union. To the extent that these regulations are modified in such a manner that our safe harbor no longer applies, our ability to conduct business in the European Union may be adversely affected.

Any impairment in the value of our goodwill will result in an accounting charge against our earnings, which could negatively impact our stock price.

As of December 31, 2007, we had $173.5 million of goodwill, representing approximately 50% of our total assets as of such date. As a result of acquisitions that we may complete in the future, we may be required to record additional goodwill. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we conduct an impairment analysis of our goodwill annually and at such other times when an event or change in circumstances occurs which would indicate potential impairment. If we determine significant impairment of our goodwill as a result of any of those tests, we would be required to record a corresponding non-cash impairment charge against our earnings that could negatively affect our stock price.

Evolving regulation of the Internet may increase our expenditures related to compliance efforts, which may adversely affect our financial condition.

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state and/or foreign agencies becomes more likely. We are particularly sensitive to these risks because the Internet is a critical component of our business model. For example, we believe that increased regulation is likely in the area of data privacy, and laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing or use of personal or consumer information could affect our clients’ ability to use and share data, potentially reducing demand for solutions accessed via the Internet and restricting our ability to store, process and share data with our clients via the Internet. In addition, taxation of services provided over the Internet or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchange over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet-based services, which could harm our business.

28

The failure of our solutions to comply with employment laws may require us to indemnify our clients, which may harm our business.

Some of our client contracts contain indemnification provisions that require us to indemnify our clients against claims of non-compliance with employment laws related to hiring. To the extent these claims are successful and exceed our insurance coverages, these obligations would have a negative impact on our cash flow, results of operation and financial condition.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in generally accepted accounting principles.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our historical or future financial results. For example, prior to January 1, 2006, we were not required to record share-based compensation charges if the employee’s stock option exercise price is equal to or exceeds the deemed fair value of the underlying security at the date of grant. However, effective January 1, 2006 we are required to record the fair value of stock options as an expense in accordance with new accounting pronouncements.

Anti-takeover provisions of Pennsylvania law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws could delay and discourage takeover attempts that shareholders may consider to be favorable.

Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and applicable provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law may make it more difficult for a third party to, or prevent a third party from, acquiring control of us or effecting a change in our board of directors and management. These provisions include:

• the classification of our board of directors into three classes, with one class elected each year;

• prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

• the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval;

• our shareholders may only take action at a meeting of our shareholders and not by written consent;

• prohibiting shareholders from calling a special meeting of our shareholders;

• our shareholders must comply with advance notice procedures in order to nominate candidates for election to our board of directors or to place shareholders proposals on the agenda for consideration at any meeting of our shareholders; and

• prohibiting us from engaging in some types of business combinations with holders of 20% or more of our voting securities without prior approval of our board of directors, unless a majority of our disinterested shareholders approve the transaction.

The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law further provides that because our articles of incorporation provide for a classified board of directors, shareholders may remove directors only for cause. These and other provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws could delay, defer or prevent us from experiencing a change of control or changes in our board of directors and management and may adversely affect our shareholders’ voting and other rights. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors and management could deter potential acquirors or prevent the completion of a transaction in which our shareholders could receive a substantial premium over the then current market price for their shares of our common stock.

29

Our board of directors have approved a share repurchase program, which may restrict our funds available for other actions and negatively affect the market price of our securities.

In November 2007, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock. We completed the repurchase plan in January 2008 and repurchased all 2.0 million shares authorized by our board of directors at an average price per share of $17.75.

In February 2008, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing, from time to time, the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock on the NASDAQ National Market. The share repurchases may not have the effects anticipated by our board of directors and may instead harm the market price of our securities. The full implementation of this repurchase plan would use a significant portion of our cash reserves, and this use of cash could limit our future flexibility to complete acquisition transactions or fund other growth opportunities. In addition, the share repurchases are subject to regulatory requirements. We may become subject to lawsuits regarding the use of our cash for share repurchases or for the failure to follow applicable regulatory requirements in connection with our share repurchase program. Our repurchase plan will also likely result in an increase in the share percentage ownership of our existing shareholders, and such increase may trigger disclosure or other regulatory requirements for our larger shareholders. As a result, certain shareholders may liquidate a portion of their holdings. In addition, our repurchase plan may decrease our public float as shares are repurchased by us on the open market pursuant to the plan and may have a negative effect on our trading volume. Such outcomes may have a negative impact on the liquidity of our common stock, the market price of our common stock and could make it easier for others to acquire a larger percentage of our voting securities.

The market price of our common stock may be particularly volatile, and our shareholders may be unable to resell their shares at a profit.

The market price of our common stock has been subject to significant fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate or decline. Recently, from August 8, 2007 to February 20, 2008, our common stock has been particularly volatile as the price of our common stock has ranged from a high of $42.44 to a low of $16.07. In the past several years, technology stocks have experienced high levels of volatility and significant declines in value from their historic highs. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:

• price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

• significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of software companies in general, and HR software companies in particular;

• actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results;

• general economic conditions and trends;

• major catastrophic events;

• the timing and magnitude of stock repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase plan;

• sales of large blocks of our stock; or

• departures of key personnel.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business.

On February 28 2008, our lease expired and we closed our facility in Lexington, Massachusetts. During 2007, the personnel at our Lexington facility were relocated to our Waltham, Massachusetts facility. In April 2008, our facility in Richardson, Texas will be closed and our resources will be relocated to Frisco, Texas. Our new facility in Frisco, Texas is 26,656 square feet, will cost $47,559 per month and the lease will expire in January 2015.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in claims from time to time which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, we have made adequate provision for potential liabilities, if any, arising from any such matters. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in any such matters, and developments or assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our common stock has been quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC under the symbol “KNXA” since June 24, 2005. Prior to that date, there was no public market for our common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices of our common stock reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC.

	Common Stock Price
	High		Low
Year Ended December 31, 2006:
First Quarter	$	31.30	$	20.40
Second Quarter	$	38.40	$	25.93
Third Quarter	$	33.38	$	21.06
Fourth Quarter	$	34.96	$	24.80
Year Ended December 31, 2007:
First Quarter	$	39.33	$	28.20
Second Quarter	$	39.24	$	27.94
Third Quarter	$	42.44	$	25.58
Fourth Quarter	$	34.50	$	16.41

On February 25, 2008, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC was $21.25 per share. As of February 25, 2008, there were approximately 89 holders of record of our common stock.

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, shareholders will need to sell shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment, if any.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH AND CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN

The following graph shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent we specifically incorporate it by reference therein.

Prior to June 28, 2005, we were not publicly traded and there was no public market for our securities. The graph below compares the cumulative total return of our common stock with that of the NASDAQ Composite Index, the NASDAQ Computer & Data Processing Index and the S&P Smallcap 600 Index from June 28, 2005 (the date shares of our common stock began to trade publicly) through December 31, 2007. The graph assumes that you invested $100 at the close of market on June 28, 2005 in shares of our common stock and invested $100 at that same time in each of these indexes, and in each case assumes the reinvestment of dividends. The comparisons in this graph are provided in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements and are not intended to forecast or be indicative of the future performance of shares of our common stock.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” section and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the “Item 1A—Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We provide software, services and proprietary content that enable organizations to more effectively recruit and retain employees. Our solutions are built around a suite of easily configurable software applications that automate talent acquisition and employee performance management best practices. We offer the software applications that form the core of our solutions on an on-demand basis, which materially reduces the costs and risks associated with deploying traditional enterprise applications. We complement our software applications with tailored combinations of outsourcing services, consulting services and proprietary content based on our 20 years of experience assisting clients in addressing their human resource requirements. Together, our software applications and services form solutions that we believe enable our clients to improve the effectiveness of their talent acquisition programs, increase employee productivity and retention, measure key HR metrics and make their talent acquisition and employee performance management programs more efficient.

Since 1999, we have focused on providing talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions on a subscription basis and currently generate a significant portion of our revenue from these subscriptions. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, revenue from these subscriptions comprised approximately 81.7% and 80.7%, respectively, of our total revenue. We generate the remainder of our revenue from discrete professional services that are not provided as part of an integrated solution on a subscription basis. These subscription-based solutions provide us with a recurring revenue stream and we believe represent a more compelling opportunity in terms of growth and profitability than discrete professional services. As a result, since 1999 discrete professional services have represented a consistently decreasing percentage of our revenue. We expect that trend to continue.

We sell our solutions to large and medium-sized organizations through our direct sales force. As of December 31, 2006, we had a client base of approximately 3,000 companies, including approximately 166 companies on the Fortune 500 list published in April 2006. In 2007, we increased our client base to approximately 4,000 companies, including approximately 199 companies on the Fortune 500 list published in April 2007. Our client base includes companies that we billed for services during the year ended December 31, 2007 and does not necessarily indicate an ongoing relationship with each such client. Our top 80 clients contributed approximately $96.5 million, or 53.5%, of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Our revenue has increased at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 58% since 2004, from $46.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $65.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $112.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $181.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Historically, a substantial portion of our clients have renewed their subscriptions each year. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, our clients renewed approximately 90% or higher respectively, of the aggregate value of multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and performance management solution contracts up for renewal during each of those periods.

Background

We commenced operations in 1987 as a provider of recruiting services to a wide variety of industries. In 1993, we offered our first automated talent acquisition system and by 1997 we had expanded our business to

37

provide employee research, employee performance management technology and consulting services. In late 1997, responding to a growing demand from our customers, we embarked on a strategy to provide comprehensive human capital management services integrated with on-demand software. Between 1994 and 1998, we acquired 15 businesses that collectively enabled us to offer comprehensive HCM services integrated with on-demand technology.

In 1999, we commenced a strategy designed to focus our business on talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions and reduce our strategic focus on discrete professional services that generated less predictable revenue streams and lower margins. To that end:

• in 1999, we exited our temporary staffing business;

• in 2000 and 2001, we acquired four businesses which enhanced our screening and behavioral assessment solutions and skills testing technologies;

• since 2002, we have reduced our strategic focus on position-specific recruiting services;

• in 2003, we discontinued our Oracle implementation business and discontinued and sold our pharmaceutical training division;

• in 2005, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Scottworks Solutions, Inc.;

• in 2006, we enhanced our talent acquisition solutions and client base through our acquisitions of Webhire, Inc., Knowledge Workers Inc., Gantz Wiley Research, Psychometric Services Ltd., and BrassRing Inc., and

• in 2007, we enhanced our talent acquisition solutions and client base through our acquisitions of Strategic Outsourcing Corporation and HRC Human Resources Consulting.

As a result of our shift in strategic focus in 2000, an increasing proportion of our revenue has been derived from talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions while a decreasing portion of our revenue has been derived from discrete professional services. In 2000, revenue derived from subscriptions for these solutions comprised approximately 54.4% of our total revenue; in 2007 this percentage increased to 81.7% of total revenue. This shift to subscription based services has been driven by our customer’s adoption of the on-demand model for software delivery and need for solutions that improve employee recruiting and retention.

From our inception through 1999, our operations were funded primarily through internally generated cash flows and our line of credit. In December 1999, we issued common stock and warrants to purchase common stock to several investors, including Parthenon Investors, L.P. and PCIP Investors, for approximately $22.0 million. In connection with this investment, we repurchased common stock held by a co-founder and former president of our predecessor for consideration of approximately $6.9 million and restructured our outstanding debt. On June 16, 2000, we entered into a bridge financing in which we issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million to Parthenon and PCIP for aggregate cash proceeds of $8.1 million, representing an original initial issue discount of $1.9 million. In connection with the bridge financing, Parthenon and PCIP also exercised warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were acquired in the 1999 financing for an aggregate exercise price of $1.9 million.

In February 2001, we issued common and preferred stock to Wafra Acquisition Fund 14, L.P. for approximately $15.5 million and to Parthenon and PCIP in exchange for the cancellation and discharge of the bridge notes issued in 2000. In March 2001, we issued common and preferred stock to Westbury Equity Partners SBIC, L.P. for approximately $6.0 million in cash. In the same transaction, we redeemed a portion of the shares of common and preferred stock held by Parthenon and PCIP for an aggregate price of approximately $2.4 million.

In December 2004, we conducted a share repurchase which closed on January 5, 2005. In the aggregate, we repurchased 873,114 shares of our common stock from eight former employees at $1.25 per share, of which 369,075 were repurchased in December 2004. We decided to initiate the process for our initial public offering after this share repurchase had been completed.

38

Our Initial Public Offering

On June 29, 2005, we completed our initial public offering in which we sold an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of our common stock, including 750,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option on July 3, 2005, at a price of $12.00 per share. Our net proceeds from our initial public offering aggregated approximately $61.5 million after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses.

Pursuant to the terms of an agreement that we entered into prior to our initial public offering with the holders of all of our class B common stock, class C common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock and as provided for in our articles of incorporation in effect prior to our initial public offering, all of our outstanding shares of class B common stock and class C common stock automatically converted into 2,179,152 and 2,100,060 shares of our common stock, respectively, at the closing of our initial public offering. Under the terms of this agreement, we also redeemed all of the outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock for a combination of an aggregate of approximately $28.6 million and $11.4 million, respectively, in cash, and the issuance of 1,134,126 and 724,250 shares of our common stock, respectively. In addition, pursuant to this agreement, we issued 396,195 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of warrants held by certain of our principal shareholders in connection with our initial public offering.

In connection with the redemption and conversion transactions described above, we incurred charges of $32.6 million due to the accretion on our class B common stock, class C common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock and $0.9 million due to accrued dividends on our series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock.

Recent Transactions

On February 20, 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we may terminate the repurchase program at any time.

On November 8, 2007, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock, of which 1.5 million shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $25.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The timing, price and volume of repurchases were based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. As of December 31, 2007 the amount of shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan was 0.5 million. Through January 24, 2008, the remaining 0.5 million shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $9.8 million.

On August 20, 2007, we acquired HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH (“HRC”), a leading consultancy for business-orientated employee surveys, based in Munich, Germany, for a purchase price of approximately $3.8 million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $0.2 million, was approximately $4.0 million. The acquisition of HRC provides us with a presence in Germany and enhances our expansion in European countries.

On June 8, 2007, we acquired Strategic Outsourcing Corporation (“StraightSource”), a provider of recruitment process outsourcing services, based in Richardson, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $9.0 million in cash and $3.2 million in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $12.2 million. We expect that the acquisition of StraightSource will provide additional efficiency to our exempt and non-exempt recruitment offering and expand our distribution capabilities in the Southwest market. In addition, the acquisition agreement contained an earnout provision which provided for the payment of additional consideration by the Company based upon the annual revenues of StraightSource through December 31, 2007. Based upon these results, we paid an additional consideration of $2.1 million in cash and stock during the first quarter of 2008 to the former shareholders of StraightSource. The related liability has been accrued in the financial statements at December 31, 2007.

39

On March 26, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement with PNC Bank. The amendment increased the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement from $25.0 million to $50.0 million, including a sublimit of up to $2.0 million for letters of credit. The amendment provides that the Credit Agreement will terminate, and all borrowings will become due and payable, on March 26, 2010.

On January 18, 2007, we completed a public offering of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $31.86 per share. We also sold an additional 562,500 shares of our common stock to cover over-allotments of shares. Our net proceeds from the offering, after payment of all offering expenses and commissions, aggregated approximately $130.4 million. We repaid all of the then outstanding borrowings under our credit facility with a portion of the net proceeds from the offering.

Sources of Revenue

We derive revenue primarily from two sources: (1) subscription revenue for our solutions, which is comprised of subscription fees from clients accessing our on-demand software, consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietary content, and from clients purchasing additional support that is not included in the basic subscription fee; and (2) fees for discrete professional services.

Our clients primarily purchase renewable subscriptions for our solutions. The typical term is one to three years, with some terms extending up to five years. The majority of our subscription agreements are not cancelable for convenience although our clients have the right to terminate their contracts for cause if we fail to provide the agreed upon services or otherwise breach the agreement. A client does not generally have a right to a refund of any advance payments if the contract is cancelled. We expect that we will maintain our renewal rate of approximately 90% of the aggregate value of multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and performance management solution contracts subject to renewal for 2008, 2009 and 2010. The revenue derived from subscription fees is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription agreement. We generally invoice our clients in advance in monthly or quarterly installments and typical payment terms provide that our clients pay us within 30 days of invoice. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable prior to the receipt of payment and in deferred revenue to the extent revenue recognition criteria have not been met. As the subscription component of our revenue has grown and clients’ willingness to pay us in advance for their subscriptions has increased, the amount of deferred revenue on our balance sheet has grown. As of December 31, 2007, deferred revenue increased to $35.1 million from $31.3 million at December 31, 2006. We generally price our solutions based on the number of software applications and services included and the number of client employees. Accordingly, subscription fees are generally greater for larger organizations and for those that subscribe for a broader array of software applications and services.

We derive other revenue from the sale of discrete professional services, and translation services as well as from out-of-pocket expenses. The majority of our other revenue is derived from discrete professional services, which primarily consist of consulting and training services. This revenue is recognized differently depending on the type of service provided as described in greater detail below under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

For the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 85.3% of our total revenue was derived from sales in the United States. Revenue that we generated from clients in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and Canada, Germany and Switzerland amounted to an aggregate of 7.4% and 3.8%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenue for other country’s amounted to an aggregate of 3.5%. Other than the countries listed no other country was in excess of 0.5% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.

40

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue primarily consists of compensation, employee benefits and out-of-pocket travel-related expenses for our employees and independent contractors who provide consulting or other professional services to our clients. Additionally, our application hosting costs, amortization of third-party license royalty costs, technical support personnel costs, overhead allocated based on headcount and reimbursed expenses are also recorded as cost of revenue. Many factors affect our cost of revenue, including changes in the mix of products and services, pricing trends, changes in the amount of reimbursed expenses and fluctuations in our client base. Because cost as a percentage of revenue is higher for professional services than for software products, an increase in the services component of our solutions or an increase in discrete professional services as a percentage of our total revenue would reduce gross profit as a percentage of total revenue. As our business expands, we expect that third-party license royalty costs and personnel costs associated with the delivery of our solutions will continue to increase.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses as follows:

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs for employees engaged in sales and marketing, including salaries, commissions, and other variable compensation, travel expenses and costs associated with trade shows, advertising and other marketing efforts and allocated overhead. We expense our sales commissions at the time the related revenue is recognized, and we recognize revenue from our subscription agreements ratably over the terms of the agreements. Investment in sales and marketing commencing in 2003 resulted in significant revenue growth during 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. We intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing to pursue new clients and expand relationships with existing clients. Our sales and marketing expense has increased in absolute terms although it has decreased as a percentage of total revenue. We expect this trend to continue.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including salaries, and employee benefits, for software engineers, quality assurance engineers, product managers, technical sales engineers and management information systems personnel. Our research and development efforts have been devoted primarily to enhancements and upgrades to our existing products. Historically, we have capitalized a small percentage of our research and development expenses. Capitalized research and development expenses totaled $2.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The remaining research and development expenses have been expensed as incurred. We expect research and development expenses to increase in the future as we employ more personnel to support enhancements of our solutions and new solutions offerings. In addition, we expect research and development expenses to increase as a percentage of total revenue primarily due to the expansion of our research and development efforts.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs for our executive, finance, human resources and administrative personnel, professional fees and other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. As we expand our business and incur additional expenses associated with being a public company, we believe that general and administrative expenses will increase in dollar amount and may decrease as a percentage of total revenue in 2008 and future periods.

Key Performance Indicators

The following tables summarize the key performance indicators that we consider to be material in managing our business:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2007			2006			2005
	(in thousands, except for percentages)
Total Revenue		181,926			112,107			65,641
Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue		81.7	%		80.7	%		77.7	%
Income from operations before income tax and interest expense		31,029			18,636			9,512
Net cash provided by operating activities		38,563			18,610			16,941
	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2007			2006			2005
				(in thousands)
Deferred revenue	$	35,076		$	31,251		$	12,588

The following is a discussion of some of the terms used in the tables above.

Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue. Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue can be derived from our consolidated statement of operations. This performance indicator illustrates the evolution of our business towards subscription-based solutions, which provide us with a recurring revenue stream and which we believe to be a more compelling revenue growth and profitability opportunity. We expect that the percentage of subscription revenue will be in the range of 78-82% of our total revenues through at least 2008.

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities is taken from our consolidated statement of cash flows and represents the amount of cash generated by our operations that is available for investing and financing activities. Historically, our net cash provided by operating activities has exceeded our net income primarily due to the positive impact of deferred revenue. We expect this trend to continue because of the advance payment structure of our subscription agreements and because as our sales increase, we expect incremental costs to decline.

Deferred revenue. We generate revenue primarily from multi-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions. We recognize revenue from these subscription agreements ratably over the term of the contract, which are typically one to three years. We generally invoice our clients in quarterly or monthly installments in advance. Deferred revenue, which is included in our consolidated balance sheets, is the amount of invoiced subscriptions in excess of the amount recognized as revenue. Deferred revenue represents, in part, the amount that we will record as revenue in our consolidated statements of operations in future periods. As the subscription component of our revenue has grown and customer willingness to pay us in advance for their subscriptions has increased, the amount of deferred revenue on our balance sheet has grown. We expect this trend to continue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible accounts receivable and accrued expenses. We base these estimates on historical experience and 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. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from two sources: (1) subscription revenues for solutions, which are comprised of subscription fees from clients accessing our on-demand software, consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietary content, and from clients purchasing additional support beyond the standard support that is included in the basic subscription fee; and (2) other fees for professional services, translation services and reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses. Because we provide our solutions as a service, we follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. On August 1, 2003, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

• there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

• the service has been provided to the client;

• the collection of the fees is probable; and

• the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

Subscription Fees and Support Revenues. Subscription fees and support revenues are recognized on a monthly basis over the lives of the contracts. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. We recorded subscription fees and support revenues of approximately $148.7 million, $90.5 million and $51.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Other Revenue. Other revenue consists of discrete professional services, translation services and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. Discrete professional services, when sold with subscription and support offerings, are accounted for separately since these services have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the delivered elements. Our arrangements do not contain general rights of return. Additionally, when professional services are sold with other elements, the consideration from the revenue arrangement is allocated among the separate elements based upon the relative fair value. Revenues from professional services are recognized as the services are rendered.

In determining whether revenues from professional services can be accounted for separately from subscription revenue, we consider the following factors for each agreement: availability of professional services from other vendors, whether objective and reliable evidence of the fair value exists of the undelivered elements, the nature and the timing of when the agreement was signed in comparison to the subscription agreement start date and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer's satisfaction with the other services. If the professional service does not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the revenue ratably over the remaining term of the subscription contract. In these situations we defer the direct and incremental costs of the professional service over the same period as the revenue is recognized.

43

We record reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in accordance with EITF issue 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred, which requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue and not as cost reductions. Before the December 15, 2001 effective date of EITF Issue 01-14, out-of-pocket reimbursements from clients were netted with the applicable costs. These items primarily include travel, meals and certain telecommunication costs. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, reimbursed expenses totaled $3.5 million, $1.9 million, and $1.4 million, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from clients’ inability to pay us. The provision is based on our historical experience and for specific clients that, in our opinion, are likely to default on our receivables from them. In order to identify these clients, we perform ongoing reviews of all clients that have breached their payment terms, as well as those that have filed for bankruptcy or for whom information has become available indicating a significant risk of non-recoverability. In addition, we have experienced significant growth in number of clients, and we have less payment history to rely upon with these clients. We rely on historical trends of bad debt as a percentage of total revenue and apply these percentages to the accounts receivable associated with new clients and evaluate these clients over time. To the extent that our future collections differ from our assumptions based on historical experience, the amount of our bad debt and allowance recorded may be different.

Capitalized Software Research and Development Costs

In accordance with EITF Issue 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity's Hardware,” we apply AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, will be capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training cost are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There were no impairments to internal software in any of the periods covered in this audit report.

Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Asset Impairment

On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets which superseded Accounting Board Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortization of existing goodwill and are required to review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment. If goodwill becomes impaired, some or all of the goodwill could be written off as a charge to operations. This comparison is performed annually or more frequently if circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carry amount. We have reviewed the carrying values of goodwill of each business unit by comparing the carrying values to the estimated fair values of the business components. The fair value is based on management’s estimate of the future discounted cash flows to be generated by the respective business components and comparable company multiples. Such cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, historical trends, as well as demand and competition. Comparable company multiples are based upon public companies in sectors relevant to our business based on our knowledge of the industry. Changes in the underlying business could affect these estimates, which in turn could affect the recoverability of goodwill. We determined that the carrying values of our goodwill did not exceed the fair values and as a result we do not believe that impairment of goodwill existed at December 31, 2007.

44

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

We use a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of our stock awards. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

• Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award and is based on a weighted average of peer companies, comparable indices and our stock volatility. An increase in the volatility would result in an increase in our expense.

• The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is currently based upon an average of the contractual life and the vesting period of the options. With the passage of time actual behavioral patterns surrounding the expected term will replace the current methodology. Changes in the future exercise behavior of employees or in the vesting period of the award could result in a change in the expected term. An increase in the expected term would result in an increase to our expense.

• The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at time of grant. An increase in the risk-free interest rate would result in an increase in our expense.

• The estimated forfeiture rate is the rate at which awards are expected to expire before they become fully vested and exercisable. An increase in the forfeiture rate would result in a decrease to our expense.

Share-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the number of awards that are expected to vest. In determining the share-based compensation expense to be recognized, a forfeiture rate is applied to the fair value of the award. This rate represents the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting and is based on our historical employee behavior. Changes in the future behavior of employees could impact this rate. A decrease in this rate would result in an increase in our expense.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” or SFAS No. 109, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The realization of the deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly by assessing the valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of the allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. We have used tax-planning strategies to realize or renew net deferred tax assets in order to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.

In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in each jurisdiction. These audits can involve complex issues that may require an extended period of time to resolve. In our opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all periods.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured for the majority of our health insurance costs, including claims filed and claims incurred but not reported subject to certain stop loss provisions. We estimate our liability based upon management’s judgment and historical experience. We also rely on the advice of consulting administrators in determining an adequate liability for self-insurance claims. As of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, self-insurance accruals totaled approximately $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. We continuously review the adequacy of our insurance coverage. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of insurance expense if actual experience differs significantly from management's estimates.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

Revenues

Total revenue increased by $69.8 million or 62.3% to $181.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $112.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our subscription revenue increased by 58.2 million to $148.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $90.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Subscription revenue represented approximately 81.7% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 80.7% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenue is attributable primarily to an increase in sales volumes of our talent management solutions and the continued acceptance of our on-demand model. The acquisitions of HRC and StraightSource comprised approximately 18% of the increase in our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. Our other revenue increased by 11.7 million to $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was due to an increase in demand for our consulting services which resulted from an increase in our subscription based revenues. We expect subscription-based and other revenues to increase in 2008 over the prior year due to primarily customer acquisitions and additional sales to existing customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenue increased by $19.2 million or 60.6% to $50.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue remained approximately the same at 28.0% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 28.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the cost of revenue was primarily due to increased salaries, overhead, direct costs and other expense of $10.8 million, $1.7 million, $5.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, associated with our increased revenue. Our increased salaries were due in part to the addition of 19 employees from our acquisitions in 2006 and 2007.

Sales and Marketing (“S&M”)

S&M expense increased by $10.2 million or 40.5% to $35.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Increased, increased staff related expense including performance bonuses and commissions and travel expense contributed of $7.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to the increase in S&M expense from the prior year. In addition, bad debt and advertising expense contributed approximately $0.9 million to the increase in S&M expense while other expense increased $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 over the prior year. The increase in salaries was due in part to

47

the addition of 37 employees from our acquisitions in 2006 and 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, S&M expense decreased to 19.4% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 22.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to increased revenues.

General and Administrative (“G&A”)

G&A expense increased by $14.8 million or 60.4% to $39.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $14.8 million increase was due in part to an increase in staff related expense of $6.5 million related to the addition of 75 employees. In addition, rent and utilities expense, professional fees and office supplies contributed of $2.7 million, $3.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to the increase in G&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. The remainder of the increase of $1.7 million was attributable to increases in infrastructure expenses such as phone, supplies, insurance and other expenses. As a percentage of total revenue, G&A expense was approximately the same at 21.6% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 21.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

R&D expense increased by $9.1 million or 105.8% to $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $9.1 million increase in R&D expense was due to the addition of 49 employees in 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense increased from 7.7% to 9.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 due to increased development effort on our products.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.1 million or 117.5% to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to increased capital purchases and additional intangibles acquired in connection with our recent acquisitions. In the future, we expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase due to recent capital purchases.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $1.5 million or 98.6% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $1.5 million increase is due primarily to interest earned on the net proceeds of our January 2007 public offering in which we raised $130.4 million.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense on continuing operations increased $6.3 million or 145.9% to $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $6.3 million increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to an increase in income before taxes. Changes to deferred income taxes are generally based on management's evaluation of our positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets and the determination that it is more likely than not that we will realize a portion of the benefits of federal and state tax assets. Webhire, which we acquired in January 2006, had a net operating loss carryforward balance of approximately $48.0 million for federal purposes as of September 30, 2005. BrassRing, which we acquired in November 2006, had a net operating loss carryforward balance of approximately $78.0 million for federal purposes as of December 31, 2006. Based upon the uncertainty of our ability to utilize these acquired net operating losses, we recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $12 million during the year ended December 31, 2006.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, Webhire and BrassRing made retroactive elections under Section 338(g) of the Internal Revenue Code with the effect of increasing the tax basis of acquired intangible

48

assets to the deemed purchase price of these assets. We will amortize the increased tax basis of acquired intangibles over a 15-year period for federal and state income tax purposes. Separate gains equal to the respective increases in tax basis were included in the pre-acquisition taxable incomes of each acquired company. Webhire and BrassRing each had sufficient net operating loss carryforwards to fully offset the income recognized on the deemed sale of assets for regular federal income tax purposes. However, under the federal alternative minimum tax rules, net operating loss carryforwards may not offset more than 90% of income taxable under this measure. We have therefore paid alternative minimum tax on these gains of approximately $0.5 million. Concurrent with the recognition of these gains, certain of the acquired net operating losses were deemed to expire. Accordingly, we have reduced the deferred tax assets associated with these acquired net operating losses and the related valuation allowances by offsetting amounts of approximately $12 million.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2006

Revenues

Total revenue increased by $46.5 million or 70.8% to $112.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $65.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. While acquisitions completed during 2006 contributed approximately $23.5 million or 51% to the increase in our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 from the prior year, our existing customers added approximately $23.1 million to our revenue increase from the prior year. Our subscription revenue increased by 77.5% to $90.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $51.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Subscription revenue represented approximately 80.7% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 77.7% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is attributable to increasing sales of our talent acquisition and employee performance management solutions primarily due to the increasing adoption of our on-demand model for software. Additionally, our average revenue per customer from our top 80 customers by revenue increased from approximately $0.6 million per customer for the year ended December 31, 2005 to approximately $0.8 million per customer for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our other revenue increased by 47.5% to $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to an increase in demand for our consulting services which resulted from an increase in our subscription based revenues. We expect subscription-based and other revenues to increase in 2007 over the prior year primarily due to customer acquisitions and additional sales to existing customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenue increased by $12.9 million or 68.8% to $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue remained approximately the same at 28.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 28.6% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in the cost of revenue was primarily due to increased salaries, overhead, direct costs and other expense of $8.6 million, $1.4 million, $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, associated with our increased revenue. Our increased salaries were due to the addition of 226 employees from our acquisitions in 2006.

Sales and Marketing (“S&M”)

S&M expense increased $9.0 million or 55.8% to $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Increased salary, commission, performance bonus and tax and benefits expense of $4.1 million, $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, contributed to the increase in S&M expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 from the prior year. Additionally, non-cash stock option expense from our adoption of SFAS 123R, increased travel and other expenses of $1.1 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, contributed to the increase in S&M expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 from the prior year. The increase in salaries was due to the addition of 74 employees in 2006; of which 36 employees were related to our acquisitions and 38 employees were from internal growth in 2006. As a percentage of total revenue, S&M expense decreased to 22.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 24.6% for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to increased revenues.

49

General and Administrative (“G&A”)

G&A expense increased by $9.4 million or 62.2% to $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $9.4 million increase was due primarily to an increase in salary and tax and benefits expenses of $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively primarily due to the addition of 38 employees from our acquisitions in 2006. In addition, rent expense, associated with our recent acquisitions, professional fees, and non-cash stock option expense from our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 and contributed of $1.8 million, $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to the increase in G&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the prior year. The remainder of the $1.9 million increase was attributable to increases in travel expense of $0.5 million and additional infrastructure expenses of $1.4 million which included expenses such as phone, supplies, utilities, insurance and other expenses. As a percentage of total revenue, G&A expense decreased to 21.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 23.0% for the prior year due to increased revenues.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

R&D expense increased $4.6 million or 116.2% to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $4.6 million increase in R&D expense was due to the addition of 146 employees in 2006; of which 82 employees were related to our acquisitions and 64 employees were from internal growth in 2006. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense increased from 6.1% to 7.7% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 due to increased development effort on our products.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.4 million or 65.2% to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to increased capital purchases and additional intangibles acquired in connection with our recent acquisitions. In the future, we expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase due to recent capital purchases.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $1.0 million or 175.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $1.0 million increase is due primarily to interest earned on the net proceeds of our March 2006 public offering in which we raised $66.3 million.

Interest on Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares

Interest expense on mandatory redeemable shares of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 was related to the redemption of class A and class B preferred shares upon the closing of our initial public offering in June 2005. Because we redeemed all of our class A and class B preferred shares in our initial public offering, we no longer record any interest expense on mandatory redeemable shares.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense on continuing operations increased $3.7 million to $4.3 million expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $3.7 million increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to an increase in income before taxes offset by a reduction of our valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million. These changes were due to management’s evaluation of our positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets and has determined that it is more likely than not that we will realize a portion of the benefits of federal and state tax assets. In 2006 we acquired net operating los carryforwards from various acquisitions totaling $41.1 million. Based upon the uncertainty to fully utilize these net operating loss carryforwards due to Internal Revenue Code section 382 the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $36.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since we were formed in 1987, we have financed our operations primarily through internally generated cash flows, our revolving credit facilities and the issuance of equity. As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $38.0 million and short term investments of $58.4 million. In addition, we had no debt and approximately $0.2 million in capital equipment leases.

Our cash provided from operations was $38.6 million, $18.6 million and $16.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash used in investing activities was $86.3 million, $156.1 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities was $42.3 million, $136.4 million, and $21.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These changes in 2007 resulted in a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents of $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. While our investing and financing activities have been significant over the past three years, we expect positive cash flow from operations to continue in future periods.

On February 20, 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we may terminate the repurchase program at any time.

On November 8, 2007, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 1,448,091 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $25.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The timing, price and volume of repurchases were based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. As of December 31, 2007 the amount of shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan was 551,909 shares. Through January 24, 2008, the remaining 551,909 shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $9.8 million.

On August 20, 2007, we acquired HRC, a leading consultancy for business-orientated employee surveys, based in Munich, Germany, for a purchase price of approximately $3.8 million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $0.2 million, was approximately $4.0 million. The acquisition of HRC provides us with a presence in Germany and enhances our expansion in European countries.

On June 8, 2007, we acquired StraightSource, a provider of recruitment process outsourcing services, based in Richardson, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $9.0 million in cash and $3.2 million in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $12.2 million. In addition, the acquisition agreement contained an earnout provision which provided for the payment of additional consideration by the Company based upon the annual revenues of StraightSource through December 31, 2007. Based upon these results, we paid an additional consideration of $2.1 million in cash during the first quarter of 2008 to the former shareholders of StraightSource. The related liability has been accrued in the financial statements at December 31, 2007. We expect that the acquisition of StraightSource will provide additional efficiency to our exempt and non-exempt recruitment offering and expand our distribution capabilities in the Southwest market.

On March 26, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement with PNC Bank. The amendment increased the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement from $25.0 million to $50.0 million, including a sublimit of up to $2.0 million for letters of credit. The amendment provides that the credit agreement will terminate, and all borrowings will become due and payable, on March 26, 2010.

On January 18, 2007, we completed a public offering of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $31.86 per share. We also sold an additional 562,500 shares of our common stock to cover

51

over-allotments of shares. Our net proceeds from the offering, after payment of all offering expenses and commissions, aggregated approximately $130.4 million. We repaid all of the then outstanding borrowings under our credit facility with a portion of the net proceeds from the offering.

On November 20, 2006, we acquired Psychometric Services Limited (“PSL”), a provider of online and paper-based assessment products, training and consultancy based in the United Kingdom, for approximately $7.5 million in cash and $0.6 million in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $0.3 million, was approximately $8.4 million. The strategic rationale for acquiring PSL was to add PSL’s library of content and team of psychologists to extend our value proposition and to further differentiate us from a domain expertise perspective. In addition, we believe that the acquisition of PSL advances our efforts to build its international infrastructure, while adding an attractive customer list of commercial and government entities in the United Kingdom.

On November 13, 2006, we entered into a new secured credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, in connection with our acquisition of BrassRing. Our obligations under the new credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. This credit facility replaced our prior $25 million revolving credit facility with PNC Bank. Under the terms of the credit facility, we borrowed $75 million on November 13, 2006 to fund our acquisition of BrassRing.

On November 13, 2006, we acquired BrassRing, a provider of talent management solutions, for approximately $114.7 million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $3.1 million, was approximately $117.8 million. The strategic rationale for acquiring BrassRing included expansion of opportunities with large, global customers, expansion of global infrastructure and product capabilities, and creation of cross-marketing opportunities with our existing suite of products and services. Additionally, managements industry expertise and experience were also important factors for the acquisition of BrassRing.

On August 14, 2006, we acquired Gantz Wiley Research, an employee and customer survey data analysis firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a purchase price including contingent consideration of approximately $3.3 million in cash and $3.8 million in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition, including estimated legal, accounting, and other professional fees, was approximately $7.1 million. In addition, the payment of $1.3 million in cash and equity during the first quarter of 2007 to the former shareholder of Gantz Wiley of additional consideration by the Company was based upon the annual revenues of Gantz Wiley Research through December 31, 2006. The $1.3 million liability is reflected in the financial statements at December 31, 2006.

On April 10, 2006, we acquired Knowledge Workers Inc., a human capital consulting and technology firm based in Denver Colorado, for approximately $2.5 million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including estimated legal, accounting, and other professional fess of $0.1 million, was approximately $2.6 million.

On March 8, 2006, we completed a public offering of 2,425,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $27.00 per share. We also sold an additional 216,800 shares of our common stock to cover over-allotments of shares. Our net proceeds from the offering, after payment of all offering expenses and commissions, aggregated approximately $66.3 million. In addition, certain of our shareholders sold an aggregate of 3,510,700 shares of our common stock in the offering, including an over-allotment of 585,700 shares. We received no proceeds from the common stock sold by the selling shareholders in this offering.

On January 13, 2006, we acquired Webhire, for approximately $34.4 million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $0.7 million, was approximately $35.1 million. In July 2007, approximately $5.0 million, or 14.3% of the aggregate purchase price, held in an escrow was released to the former stockholders of Webhire. There were no claims for indemnification made by the Company against Webhire under the acquisition agreement. Webhire’s results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on January 1, 2006.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.6 million, $18.6 million and $16.9 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

52

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 resulted primarily from net income of approximately $23.5 million, non-cash charges to net income of $12.3 million, deferred revenue of $3.7 million and other changes in working capital of $0.4 million offset by a $1.3 million reduction in taxes payable resulting from our adoption of FAS 123R in 2006.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulted primarily from net income of approximately $15.9 million, non-cash charges to net income of $6.6 million, deferred revenue of $4.6 million and other changes in working capital of $5.3 million offset by a $2.8 million reduction in taxes payable resulting from our adoption of FAS 123R in 2006 and an increase in accounts and unbilled receivables of $11.0 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 resulted primarily from net income of approximately $6.1 million, non-cash charges to net income of $6.4 million, including $3.4 million of accrued interest expense on the redeemable preferred stock, deferred revenue of $5.9 million, and other changes in working capital of $0.8 million partially offset by an increase in accounts and unbilled receivables of $2.3 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $86.3 million, $156.1 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash flows used in investing activities consisted primarily of acquisitions and additional capital equipment as follows:

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $42.3 million, $136.4 million and $21.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash provided by financing activity resulted primarily from net proceeds from our public offering of $130.4 million, net proceeds from stock option exercises of $1.6 million, excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements of $1.3 million, share issuance from our employee stock purchase plan of $0.2 million, partially offset by deferred financing costs of $0.1 million, repayments of borrowings under our line of credit of $65.0 million, repurchases of our common shares of $25.5 million, repayments of capital lease obligations of $0.2 million, and net repayments of notes payable of $0.4 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash provided by financing activity resulted primarily from net proceeds from our public offering of $66.3 million, borrowings under our line of credit of $65.0 million, net proceeds from stock option exercises of $4.4 million, excess tax benefits from share-based payment

53

arrangements of $2.8 million, partially offset by deferred financing costs of $1.4 million, repayments of capital lease obligations of $0.4 million, and net repayments of notes payable of $0.3 million. In January 2007 the Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the public offering to repay all outstanding borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash provided by financing activity consisted of net proceeds from our initial public offering of $61.5 million, the collection of notes receivable of $0.2 million and net proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.1 million partially offset by the redemption of our series A and B preferred shares of $40.0 million, the repurchase of shares of our common stock owned by certain of our former employees of $0.5 million and repayments of capital lease obligations of $0.2 million.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balances and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We intend to continue to invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated revenue, increased expenses or other events, may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could negatively impact our growth plans and our financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Additional equity financing would be dilutive to the holders of our common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants or financial ratios that restrict our ability to operate our business.

Comparison of Unaudited Quarterly Results

Revenues

Total revenue has increased each of our last eight quarters primarily due to purchases of our solutions by new clients, purchases of additional solutions by existing clients and contract renewals. Our subscription revenue increased in every quarter presented from $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $38.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Our other revenue increased from $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $9.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. We believe that subscription revenue increased more quickly than other revenue due to our continuing shift in focus toward subscription-based solutions and away from discrete professional services.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenue for the quarters presented has fluctuated between 27.0% and 30.0% based on the mix of sales between subscription revenue and other revenue. Cost of revenue was highest as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This was caused by the mix of sales included in other revenue in that quarter.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenue for each of the three month periods ended in 2006. Following our acquisitions in 2006 and 2007 sales and marketing remained flat at approximately 18.8% to 20.1% of total revenues. Sales and marketing expenses have increased in terms of absolute dollars through the same period as a result of increased marketing programs and variable compensation programs.

General and Administration

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the last three quarters presented have remained relatively flat at approximately 20.6% and 21.6% of total revenues. In absolute dollar terms over the eight quarters presented general and administrative expenses have increased due to the increasing infrastructure costs associated with a larger organization.

56

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for each of the four quarters presented during 2006 increased due to an increase in product development expenses and enhancements and upgrades to our existing products. Research and development expenses for each of the four quarters presented during 2007 remained relatively flat as optimal staff levels were achieved.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2007:

	Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	2008		2009		2010		2011		2012
	(in thousands)
Capital lease obligations	$	140	$	60	$	17	$	10	$	7
Operating lease obligations		4,785		4,434		3,425		2,403		1,320
Total	$	4,925	$	4,494	$	3,442	$	2,413	$	1,327

The amounts listed above for capital lease obligations represent payments that we are required to make for equipment. If we fail to remain current with our obligations for any of these capital leases, we would be in default, and our continued failure to cure such a default would cause our remaining obligations under the defaulted capital lease to become immediately due.

The amounts listed above for operating leases represent our leases for office space, copiers and other operating obligations. If we fail to make rent payments on any of these operating leases when due, we will be required to pay all remaining rent payments on the leases.

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements for the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”) and FAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“FAS 160”). Changes for business combination transactions pursuant to FAS 141(R) include, among others, expensing of acquisition-related transaction costs as incurred, the recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair value and capitalization of in-process research and development assets acquired at their acquisition date fair value. Changes in accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests pursuant to FAS 160 include, among others, the classification of noncontrolling interest as a component of consolidated shareholders equity and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS 141(R) will impact the accounting for our future acquisitions. We do not believe the adoption of FAS 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, we had an insignificant amount of unrecognized tax benefits, none of which would materially affect our effective tax rate if recognized. We do not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. Our policy is to

recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The amount of interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 2007 was insignificant. Tax years beginning in 2004 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under SFAS No. 157, fair-value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair-value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

In 2007, approximately 85.3% of our total revenue was comprised of sales to clients in the United States. A key component of our business strategy is to expand our international sales efforts, which will expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to each of the currencies of our non-U.S.-generated sales would not have resulted in a material change to our results for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The financial position and operating results of our foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange to the U.S. dollar on the balance sheet date, and the local currency revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange to the U.S. dollar during the period. The related translation adjustments were $1.4 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are included in other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation adjustment is not adjusted for income taxes as it relates to an indefinite investment in a non-U.S. subsidiary.

Interest Rate Risk

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, government and non-government debt securities and certificates of deposit. Our cash equivalents, which consist solely of money market funds, are not subject to market risk because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. We believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant effect on our interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Kenexa Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kenexa Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Kenexa Corporation adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) in 2007.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Kenexa Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Kenexa Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless noted otherwise)

1. Organization

Kenexa Corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Kenexa”), commenced operations in 1987 as a provider of recruiting services to a wide variety of industries. In 1993, the Company offered its first automated talent management system. Between 1994 and 2007, the Company acquired 27 businesses that enabled it to offer comprehensive human capital management, or HCM, services integrated with web-based technology.

The Company began its operations in 1987 under its predecessor companies, Insurance Services, Inc., or ISI, and International Holding Company, Inc., or IHC. In December 1999, the Company reorganized its corporate structure by merging ISI and IHC with and into Raymond Karsan Associates, Inc., or RKA, a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond Karsan Holdings, Inc., or RKH, a Pennsylvania corporation. Each of RKA and RKH were newly created to consolidate the businesses of ISI and IHC. In April 2000, the Company changed its name to TalentPoint, Inc. and changed the name of RKA to TalentPoint Technologies, Inc. In November 2000, the Company changed its name to Kenexa Corporation, and changed the name of TalentPoint Technologies, Inc. to Kenexa Technology, Inc., or Kenexa Technology. Currently, Kenexa transacts business primarily through Kenexa Technology. While the Company has several product lines, our chief decision makers determine resource allocation decisions and assess and evaluate periodic performance under one operating segment.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Kenexa and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash which is restricted for lease deposits is included in other assets.

Cash and cash equivalents in foreign denominated currencies which are held in foreign banks at December 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $11,072 and $10,746, respectively and represented 29% and 25%, respectively of our total cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of each period.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments at December 31, 2007 include floating rate letter of credit backed securities, auction rate securities and municipal bonds. The maturities of these securities range from 1 day to 1 year and are rated A to AAA by various rating agencies. Short-term investments are recorded at fair value based on current market rates and are classified as available-for-sale. Changes in the fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid software maintenance agreements, deferred implementation costs, insurance and other current assets. Deferred implementation costs represent internal payroll and other costs incurred in connection with the customization of the sites associated with our

internet hosting arrangements. These costs are deferred over the implementation period which preceeds the hosting period, typically three to four months, and are expensed ratably when the hosting period commences, typically one to three years. These amounts aggregated $1,512 and $985 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The current portion of these deferred costs of $222 and $636 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is included in other current assets and the non-current portion of $1,290 and $349 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other long-term assets

Other long-term assets primarily includes cash held in escrow balances in connection with our acquisitions. Outstanding amounts are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

	Year ended December 31,
	2007		2006
Acquisition related escrow balances:
Webhire	$	—	$	5,000
Knowledge workers		100		100
Gantz Wiley		600		600
BrassRing		—		11,500
Psychometrics services Ltd.		758		758
StraightSource		1,200		—
HRC		410		—
Total escrow balances		3,068		17,958
Other long-term assets		2,811		1,573
Total other long-term assets	$	5,879	$	19,531

As cash is released from escrow accounts as required under our acquisition agreements the amounts are then accounted for as additional purchase consideration of the respective acquisition.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under capital lease is stated at the lower of the fair market value at the date of acquisition or net present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives or, if shorter, the lease terms for leasehold improvements. Estimated useful lives are generally 7 years for office furniture, 3 to 5 years for computer equipment and 3 to 5 years for software. Reviews are regularly performed if facts and circumstances exist that indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment or leasehold improvements are sold or otherwise disposed of, the fixed asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved and any gain or loss is included in operations. Costs of software not yet placed into service are accumulated as software in development. Upon placement into service, the costs of the assets are transferred to software. Costs of building construction not yet placed into service are accumulated as building construction in progress. Upon placement into service, the costs of the assets will be transferred to building. In January 2008, the building was placed into service and, accordingly, all costs of the building have been transferred out of construction in progress. The expected life of the building is between 30 to 40 years.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. The Company also records an additional allowance based on certain percentages of aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and management's assessment of the general financial conditions affecting the Company’s customer base. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

Year	Balance at January 1,		(Recovered) charged costs		Acquired reserves		Write Offs			Balance at December 31,
2007	$	975	$	186	$	—	$	400		$	761
2006		448		405		304		(182	)		975
2005		288		314		—		154			448

Software Developed for Internal Use

In accordance with EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware”, the Company applies AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, will be capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training cost are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There were no impairments to internal software in any of the periods covered in these consolidated financial statements.

The Company capitalized internal-use software costs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 of $3,321, $1,954 and $994, respectively. Amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $1,163, $1,291 and $675, respectively.

Goodwill

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), which superseded Accounting Board Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortization of existing goodwill and is required to review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment. Prior to 2007, the Company evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill under two reporting units within its single segment. During 2007, the Company combined those two reporting units into a single reporting unit to be in alignment with its organizational and management structure which was evaluated and restructured as part of the integration of our acquired businesses. As a result of the change, the Company now evaluates goodwill at the enterprise or Company level. If goodwill becomes impaired, some or all of the goodwill could be written off as a charge to operations. This comparison is performed annually or more frequently if circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has reviewed the carrying value of goodwill at the enterprise level by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the entire enterprise. The fair

68

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless noted otherwise)

value is based on management’s estimate of the future discounted cash flows to be generated by the business as a whole and its market capitalization. These cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, historical trends, as well as demand and competition. Changes in the underlying business could affect these estimates, which in turn could affect the recoverability of goodwill. Management determined that the carrying value of its goodwill did not exceed the fair value and as a result believes that no impairment of goodwill existed at December 31, 2007.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2004	$	8,534
ScottWorks Acquisition		281
Balance as of December 31, 2005	$	8,815
Acquisitions or adjustments:
ScottWorks		30
Webhire		26,564
Knowledge Workers		2,474
Gantz Wiley Research		5,573
BrassRing		93,104
Psychometrics Services Ltd.		6,811
Balance as of December 31, 2006	$	143,371
Acquisitions or adjustments:
Webhire		7,942
Knowledge Workers		(796	)
Gantz Wiley Research		(81	)
BrassRing		13,059
Psychometrics Services Ltd.		516
StraightSource (2007 acquisition)		3,791
HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH (2007 acquisition)		5,700
Balance as of December 31, 2007	$	173,502

During 2007, Goodwill was increased by $30,131 primarily as a result of the release of escrow payments of $16,500, a reduction of acquired NOL’s and related deferred tax assets and corresponding increase to goodwill in the amount of $3,284 and excess purchase price for current year acquisitions.

Intangible Assets

Intellectual property and non-compete agreements (“intangible assets”) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or contract periods, generally ranging from 3 to 20 years. The increase in customer lists during the year ended December 31, 2007 was due to acquisitions completed in 2007 (see Footnote 3—Acquisitions). The amounts were based, in part, on an analysis of the incremental cash flows expected to be derived from the customer lists using historic retention rates and an appropriate discount rate. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $4,091, $1,688 and $1,275 as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets was $2,412, $175 and $38 as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless noted otherwise)

Intangible Assets that are subject to amortization at December 31, 2007 and 2006, consist of the following:

	Gross Carrying Value				Accumulated Amortization				Weighted Average Amortization Period (in years)
Description	2007		2006		2007		2006
Customer Lists	$	12,903	$	4,940	$	2,839	$	441	7.9

Fully Amortized Intangibles		1,231		1,231		1,231		1,231
Total	$	14,225	$	6,258	$	4,091	$	1,688	7.9

Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows:

Year Ending December 31,	Amortization Expense
2008	$	3,025
2009		2,142
2010		1,495
2011		1,012
2012		730

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of any asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue from two sources: (1) subscription revenue for solutions, which is comprised of subscription fees from clients accessing our on-demand software, consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietary content, and from clients purchasing additional support beyond the standard support that is included in the basic subscription fee; and (2) other fees for discrete professional services. Because the Company provides its solution as a service, the Company follows the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. On August 1, 2003, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

• There is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

• The service has been provided to the client;

• The collection of the fees is probable; and

• The amount of fees to be paid by the client is fixed or determinable.

70

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless noted otherwise)

Subscription fees and support revenues are recognized on a monthly basis over the lives of the contracts. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Discrete professional services and other revenues, when sold with subscription and support offerings, are accounted for separately since these services have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the delivered elements. The Company’s arrangements do not contain general rights of return. Additionally, when professional services are sold with other elements, the consideration from the revenue arrangement is allocated among the separate elements based upon the relative fair value. Professional services and other revenues are recorded as follows: Consulting revenues are recognized upon completion of the contracts that are of short duration (generally less than 60 days) and as the services are rendered for contracts of longer duration.

In determining whether revenues from professional services can be accounted for separately from subscription revenue, the Company considers the following factors for each agreement: availability from other vendors, whether objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists of the undelivered elements, the nature and the timing of when the agreement was signed in comparison to the subscription agreement start date and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the client’s satisfaction with the other services. If the professional service does not qualify for separate accounting, the Company recognizes the revenue ratably over the remaining term of the subscription contract. In these situations the Company defers the direct and incremental costs of the professional service over the same period as the revenue is recognized.

Deferred revenue represents payments received or accounts receivable from the Company’s clients for amounts billed in advance of subscription services being provided.

The Company records “Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred (“EITF 01-14”), which requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenues and not as cost reductions. Before the effective date of EITF 01-14, out-of-pocket reimbursements from clients were netted with the applicable costs. These items primarily include travel, meals and certain telecommunication costs. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, reimbursed expenses totaled $3,469, $1,915 and $1,436, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated tax return with its subsidiaries for federal tax purposes and on a separate company basis for state tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts which are more likely than not expected to be realized.

Other Taxes

Non-income taxes such as sales and value-added tax are presented on a net basis.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $554, $220 and $178, respectively.

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for the majority of its health insurance costs, including claims filed and claims incurred but not reported subject to certain stop loss provisions. The Company estimated the liability based upon management’s judgment and historical experience. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, self-insurance accruals totaled $355 and $340, respectively. Management continuously reviews the adequacy of the Company’s stop loss insurance coverage. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of health insurance expense if actual experience differs significantly from management’s estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Credit risk arising from receivables is mitigated due to the large number of clients comprising the Company’s client base and their dispersion across various industries. The Company does not require collateral. The clients are concentrated primarily in the Company’s U.S. market area. At December 31, 2007, there were no clients that represented more than 10% of the net accounts receivable balance. There were no clients that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenues.

Cash balances are maintained at several banks. Accounts located in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. Certain operating cash accounts may exceed the FDIC limits.

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan which is available for participation to all eligible employees. Company contributions to the plan are subject to the board of director’s election to make a contribution each year. Company contributions, if elected by the board of directors, are allocated to the participants’ accounts based upon the percentage of each participant’s contributions to the plan during the given year to the total of all participant contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s board of directors elected to make a matching contribution of $655, $1,031 and $270 or 20%, 50% and 25% of employee contributions, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company follows SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Under SFAS 128, companies that are publicly held or have complex capital structures are required to present basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted earnings per share, shares outstanding are adjusted to assume conversion of the Company’s non-interest bearing convertible stock and the exercise of options and warrants if they are dilutive. In the calculation of basic earnings per share, weighted average numbers of shares outstanding are used as the denominator. The Company had a net income available to common shareholders for the period ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company had a net loss available to common shareholders for the period ended December 31, 2005. As a result, the common stock equivalents of stock options, warrants and convertible securities issued and outstanding at December 31, 2005 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the period then ended as they were antidilutive. The computation of common stock equivalents excluded options to purchase 608,800 and 109,000 shares of common stock, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. Options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock included in computation of common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled 400,536 and 514,019, respectively.

The Company has restated all shares to reflect a 0.8-for-1 reverse stock split effected on June 27, 2005.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Approach (“MPA”). The MPA requires that compensation expense be recorded for restricted stock and all unvested stock options as of January 1, 2006. Following the adoption we continued to recognize the cost of previously granted share-based awards under the straight-line basis and the cost for new share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies was determined using the alternative transition method described in FSP FAS 123(R)-3.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable at December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximate fair value of these instruments. Redeemable preferred stock is carried at fair value, based upon redemption requirements. See footnote 9 for further discussion.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and operating results of our foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange to the U.S. dollar on the balance sheet date, and the local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange to the U.S. dollar during the period. The related translation adjustments were $1,414 and $126 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are reported in the equity section of the balance sheet. The foreign currency translation adjustment is not adjusted for income taxes as it relates to an indefinite investment in a non-U.S. subsidiary.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss or gain on foreign currency translations and net income or loss from operations and is presented in the consolidated statement of shareholders deficiency.

Guarantees

Our software license agreements typically provide for indemnifications of customers for intellectual property infringement claims. We also warrant to customers, when requested, that our software products operate substantially in accordance with standard specifications for a limited period of time. We have not incurred significant obligations under customer indemnification or warranty provisions historically, and do not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, we do not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification or warranty-related obligations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior calendar years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current calendar year.

Adoption of new accounting pronouncement

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. As of December 31, 2006 we had an insignificant amount of unrecognized tax benefits, none of which would materially affect our effective tax rate if recognized. We do not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Tax years beginning in 2004 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used.

As of January 1, 2007 unrecognized tax benefits totaled $234 which was recorded as a purchase price adjustment and an increase to goodwill. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, our tax liabilities increased $18 which was expensed to tax expense for year ended December 31, 2007.

Our January 1, 2007, tax liabilities include $89 of interest related to the adoption of FIN 48.

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless noted otherwise)

It is not expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, however, the Company does not expect any change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”) and FAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“FAS 160”). Changes for business combination transactions pursuant to FAS 141(R) include, among others, expensing of acquisition-related transaction costs as incurred, the recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair value and capitalization of in-process research and development assets acquired at their acquisition date fair value. Changes in accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests pursuant to FAS 160 include, among others, the classification of noncontrolling interest as a component of consolidated shareholders equity and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FAS 141(R) will impact the accounting for the Company’s future acquisitions. We do not believe the adoption of FAS 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under SFAS No. 157, fair-value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair-value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Acquisitions

HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH

On August 20, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH (“HRC”), a leading consultancy for business-orientated employee surveys, based in Munich, Germany, for a purchase price of approximately $3,757 in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $259, was approximately $4,016. In connection with the acquisition, $410 of the cash portion of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account to cover any claims for indemnification made by the Company against HRC under the acquisition agreement. The escrow agreement will remain in place for approximately five years from the acquisition date, and any funds remaining in the escrow account at the end of the five year period will be distributed to the former stockholders of HRC. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimate of fair value with any excess over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, the purchase price and related purchase price allocation may be updated to reflect changes such as any additional transaction fees or the finalization of the valuation of assets acquired or liabilities assumed.

StraightSource

On June 8, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Strategic Outsourcing Corporation (“StraightSource”), a provider of recruitment process outsourcing services, based in Richardson, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $9,000 in cash and $3,174 in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $40, was approximately $12,213, including acquired intangibles of $7,963, with an estimated useful life between 2.5 to 9 years. In addition, our acquisition agreement contained an earnout provision which provided for the payment of additional consideration by the Company based upon the annual revenues of StraightSource through December 31, 2007. Based upon these results, we paid an additional consideration of $2,100 in cash during the first quarter of 2008 to the former shareholders of StraightSource. The related liability has been accrued in the financial statements at December 31, 2007. In connection with the acquisition, $1,200 of the cash portion of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account to cover any claims for indemnification made by the Company against StraightSource under the acquisition agreement. The escrow agreement will remain in place for three years from the acquisition date and any funds remaining in the escrow account at the end of the three year period will be distributed to the former stockholders of StraightSource. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimate of fair value with any excess over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, the purchase price and related purchase price allocation may be updated to reflect changes such as any additional transaction fees or the finalization of the valuation of assets acquired or liabilities assumed.

Psychometric Services

On November 20, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Psychometric Services, Ltd., a provider of user friendly psychometric tests, based in Harrow, United Kingdom, for a purchase price of approximately $7,459 in cash and $627 in stock consideration. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $308, was approximately $8,394. In connection with the acquisition, $758 of the cash portion of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account to cover any claims for indemnification made by the Company against Psychometrics Services under the acquisition agreement. The escrow agreement will remain in place for one year from the acquisition date, and any funds remaining in the escrow account at the end of the one year period will be distributed to the former stockholders of Psychometric Services Ltd. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimate of fair value with any excess over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimate of fair value with any excess over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill. The estimated fair values of the intangibles assets are further described below. Contract-related assets and technology-related assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment.

The valuation of contract-related assets in the amount of $416, which relates to BrassRing’s current customer portfolio, was determined based upon estimated discounted incremental future cash flow to be received as a result of these relationships.

Goodwill from the acquisition resulted from our belief that the recruiter products developed by BrassRing will be complementary to our Kenexa Recruiter product offerings and will help us remain competitive in the talent acquisition market. As a result of an election made in 2007 pursuant to I.R.S. Section 338(g), the goodwill and related intangible assets from the BrassRing acquisition are being amortized for tax purposes over a fifteen year period.

If the BrassRing acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2006, the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been:

	Year ended December 31, 2006
Revenue	$	145,269
Net income	$	14,295

6. Line of Credit

On November 13, 2006, the Company entered into a secured credit agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”), as administrative agent, in connection with its acquisition of BrassRing. The secured Credit Agreement increased the maximum amount available under the credit facility from $25,000 to $75,000, including a sublimit of up to $2,000 for letters of credit. Borrowings under the new credit facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. This Credit Agreement replaced the prior $25,000 revolving credit facility with PNC Bank. As of December 31, 2006 the Company had borrowings of $65,000 outstanding under the Credit Agreement with a weighted average interest rate of 7.9% per annum. In January 2007, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the public offering to repay all outstanding borrowings.

On March 26, 2007, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with PNC Bank, N.A. The Amendment increased the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement from $25,000 to $50,000, including a sublimit of up to $2,000 for letters of credit. The Amendment provides that the Credit Agreement will terminate, and all borrowings will become due and payable, on March 26, 2010. The Company and each of the U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended.

The Company’s borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at tiered rates based upon the ratio of Net Funded Debt to EBITDA as defined in the Third Amendment. The Company may also elect interest rates on its borrowings calculated by reference to LIBOR plus a margin based upon the ratio of its Net Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. Interest on LIBOR borrowings is calculated on an actual/360 day basis and is paid on the last day of each interest period. LIBOR advances are available for periods of 1,2,3 or 6 months. LIBOR pricing is adjusted for any statutory reserves.

Borrowings under the Revolver are collateralized generally by all the Company’s assets, including a pledge of the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains various terms and covenants that provide for restrictions on capital expenditures, payment of dividends, dispositions of assets, investments and acquisitions and require the Company, among other things, to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth, net income and fixed charge coverage. The Company was compliant with covenants at December 31, 2007.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

At December 2007, the Company has remaining net operating loss carryforwards from acquisitions of $2,491 with an expiration date of 2025. Additionally, the Company is subject to Internal Revenue Code section 382 loss limitations for these acquired net operating loss carryforwards. The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards available from foreign operations of $5,094. These losses have no expiration date. Based on the uncertainty of fully utilizing these NOL’s, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $1,780. The Company also has state NOL carryforwards of $2,266. In 2006, the Company released $945 of its foreign valuation allowance resulting in no corresponding valuation allowance against these foreign net operating loss carryforwards as the Company believes they will be fully utilized in the future. In 2005, the Company was granted a tax holiday from the government of India for its development center located in Hyderabad, India. This tax holiday was granted for a five year period and expires in 2010. The income tax benefit on this holiday is $362 and $404 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

A valuation allowance of $946 has been recorded at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards from U.S. operations of approximately $4.4 million for federal purposes which expire in the year 2022 and approximately $2.9 million for state purposes which expire in 2006 through 2022 for state purposes. At December 31, 2005, the Company also had available net operating loss carryforwards from foreign operations of approximately $4.9 million with no expiration date. In 2005, the Company reduced its valuation allowance by approximately $5.0 million due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset the increase in income resulting in income tax expense on continuing operations of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Activity in the valuation allowance account for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is presented in the table below:

	Beginning Balance			Acquired valuation allowance			Release of valuation allowance		338g election		Ending Balance
2007	$	(12,634	)	$	(653	)	$	796	$	11,838	$	(653	)
2006		(946	)		(12,634	)		946		—		(12,634	)
2005		(5,991	)					5,045		—		(946	)

The Company does not provide for federal income taxes or tax benefits on the undistributed earnings or losses of its international subsidiaries because earnings are permanently reinvested and, in the opinion of management, will continue to be reinvested indefinitely. At December 31, 2007, the Company had not provided for federal income tax expense for cumulative income of individual international subsidiaries of $4,777. Should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes and withholding taxes in various international jurisdictions. Determination of the related amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. In the event of the repatriation of foreign earnings, the Company believes that it would be in a position to claim sufficient foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income taxes purposes to offset a significant amount of potential tax liability.

During 2007, the Company filed separate elections under Section 338(g) of the Internal Revenue Code to treat the acquisitions of Webhire and BrassRing as the purchase of assets for tax purposes. These elections allow the tax basis in acquired assets to be valued at their relative fair market values on the respective dates of purchase. As a result of these elections, certain deferred tax assets of Webhire and BrassRing totaling $2,942 and $342, respectively were reduced and reclassified to goodwill following the elimination of certain tax attributes, including previously recorded net operating loss carryforwards.

Non-income taxes such as sales and value-added tax are presented on a net basis.

The company does not currently have any ongoing audits with the Internal Revenue Service, the most recent year audited and closed was 2003.

Severance arrangement

On November 26, 2006, the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release with its former Chief Operating Officer who resigned from his positions as an officer and a director of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, effective on the close of business on November 30, 2006. The separation agreement provided that the Company continue to pay the former officer his base salary of $250 per year through November 29, 2008. In addition, until May 29, 2010, the Company will provide the former officer with continued participation in the medical insurance coverage plans of the Company, or the economic equivalent of the employer portion of the premium for such plans. Pursuant to the separation agreement, the former officer received $397 under the Company’s 2006 bonus plan. In addition, previously unvested options to purchase 28,333 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the former officer became immediately exercisable, and all other unvested stock options granted to the former officer by the Company were forfeited on the separation date.

Also, pursuant to the separation agreement, the former officer provided the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates with a general release, and the former officer agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality and non-disparagement, and non-competition and non-solicitation for a period of two years after the separation date, as such the company will recognize the severance expense over the non compete term.

Deferred Compensation

The Company has an unfunded deferred compensation contract with a former employee shareholder of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the former employee shareholder is receiving monthly retirement benefit payments of approximately $11 through June 2008. Amounts paid under this plan are payable to the former employee’s beneficiaries in the event of his death.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the liability under the deferred compensation plan was $73 and $96, respectively. The present value of the estimated liability, which is included in other liabilities, as determined by calculating the net present value of the retirement benefits expected to be earned by the former employee shareholder from the effective date of the agreement through retirement date using a discount rate of 8.0%. The interest expense associated with this plan was $3 and $6 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Litigation

On October 31, 2000, Gallup, Inc., which conducts its business under the name The Gallup Organization, filed suit against the Company in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief, alleging that the Company unlawfully raided Gallup’s employees and tortuously interfered with Gallup's relationships with former employees and customers, infringed on Gallup’s copyrighted survey language and falsely advertised aspects of the Company’s employee survey services. In November 2001, the District Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss Gallup's claim that we conducted an unlawful raid of Gallup’s employees. In December 2002, the District Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the false advertising claim. In January 2003, the District Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the claims regarding the Company’s alleged tortuous interference with Gallup’s relationships with its former employees and its customers. Gallup did not appeal any of these rulings.

In November 2004, the District Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the copyright claim. Gallup appealed that ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the judge's grant of summary judgment in the Company’s favor.

On January 27, 2006 the Company and Gallup settled the outstanding claim and entered into a confidential settlement agreement. On January 30, 2006, the Court entered a consent order relating to the settlement. The terms of the settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The Company is involved in claims, including those identified above, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company has made adequate provision for potential liabilities, if any, arising from any such matters. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in any such matters, and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

In 2005 and 2004 the interest expense related to accrued dividends on preferred stock was $1,817, and $3,491, respectively. In 2005 and 2004 interest expense related to the accretion of preferred stock was $1,579 and $4,895, respectively.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had 30,000 and 12,042 authorized shares of Series A and B preferred stock, respectively. The Series A and B preferred stock both have a stated value of $1,000 per share and accrue dividends at 6% and 8% per annum, respectively, compounded quarterly. The Series A and B preferred stock are on a pari pasu basis with each other and senior to all classes of common stock with respect to payment of dividends. The Series A preferred stock has preferential rights in the event of liquidation over all other classes of preferred or common stock. The Series A and B preferred stock are mandatory redeemable upon the earlier of August 12, 2006 or occurrence of a Realization Event. A Realization Event is defined as (a) the consummation of a qualified public offering of the Company’s common stock or; (b) the consummation of a sale transaction involving the Company. Each Series A and B preferred shareholder is entitled, except for the election of directors, to a number of votes equal to the preferred share participation factor multiplied by the number of preferred shares owned. The participation factors for the Series A and B preferred are 9.3336 and 20.1072, respectively, and are subject to adjustment for anti-dilution events.

The redemption price of each share of Series A and B preferred was based upon the fair market value of a share of Class A common on the redemption notice date multiplied by the participation factor, plus the stated value of $1,000 per share and all accrued and unpaid dividends. The aggregate redemption price on June 29, 2005 for the Series A preferred stock was approximately $42,200 which included 1,134,126 shares of common stock. The aggregate redemption price on June 29, 2005 for the Series B preferred stock was approximately $20,091 which included 724,250 shares of common stock. The Company accreted to the estimated redemption value of the Series A and B preferred stock through the redemption date, June 29, 2005. The Company recorded $(664) of negative accretion and $4,040 of accretion for the Series A preferred stock at December 31, 2005 and

2004, respectively. The Company recorded $2,243 and $1,275 of accretion for the Series B preferred stock at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

10. Redeemable Common Stock Rollforward of Shares

The Company’s redeemable common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004 were converted to the Company's class A common stock during the Company's initial public offering as follows:

	Common Shares
	Redeemable
	Class B		Class C
Balance, December 31, 2004	54,579		1,526,813
Conversion to Class A common stock	(54,579	)	(1,526,813	)
Balance, December 31, 2005	—		—

No shares were repurchased during this period. Effective with the Company’s initial public offering on June 29, 2005 these shares were converted into 9,439,942 shares of common stock.

Class B Redeemable Common Stock

At December 31, 2004, the Company had 200,000 authorized shares of Class B redeemable common with 54,479 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004. Class B redeemable common shares are mandatorily convertible upon occurrence of a Realization Event prior to August 12, 2006. Each Class B redeemable common shareholder is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A common into which the Class B redeemable shares are convertible, except for the election of directors. Two of the Class B redeemable common shareholders have the right to designate two of the Company’s directors.

The actual redemption price, on the date of conversion to Class A common, based upon the actual fair value of the Company’s initial offering price was $26.150. The Company recorded $20,859 and $1,545 of accretion for the Class B redeemable common at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Class C Redeemable Common Stock

At December 31, 2004, the Company had 2,000,000 authorized shares of Class C redeemable common with 1,526,813 shares issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2004, the Class C redeemable common shares were convertible into Class A common shares upon election by the holder by dividing $14.08 by the Class C conversion factor of 14.08, subject to adjustment for anti-dilution events. The Class C redeemable common redemption price is equivalent to the fair market value of one share of Class A common multiplied by the number of shares of Class A common into which the Class C shares are convertible. The Company’s Board of Directors has discretion over whether this redemption is in cash or through issuance of a two-year interest bearing promissory note. Each Class C redeemable common shareholder is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A common into which the Class C shares are convertible, except for the election of directors.

The 2001 Private Placement included a contingency requiring the Company to issue up to 218,683 additional shares of Class C redeemable common to certain investors if the Company did not repurchase at least an aggregate of $5,900 shares of Series A preferred and Class C redeemable common from the Bridge Note

In October 2002, the Company issued 129,006 shares of Class C redeemable common to the 2001 Private Placement investors to satisfy this obligation.

The actual redemption price, on the date of conversion to Class A common, based upon the actual fair value of the Company’s initial offering price was $25,201. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded negative accretion of $20,630 and positive accretion of $525, respectively.

Treasury Stock

On November 8, 2007, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 1,448,091 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $25,482 as of December 31, 2007. These shares were restored to original status prior to December 31, 2007 and accordingly are presented as authorized but not issued. The timing, price and volume of repurchases were based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. As of December 31, 2007 the amount of shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan was 551,909. Through January 24, 2008, the remaining 551,909 shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase plan were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $9,848.

On February 20, 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase program at any time.

Shareholder Agreements

Certain shareholders have entered into shareholder agreements that define and provide for, among other things, the purchase, sale and transfer of shares in accordance with the agreements. Certain employees have purchased shares of common stock using notes. These employees elected to purchase shares in accordance with provisions under the stock purchase agreement that permitted an initial 25% cash payment at the time of purchase with the remainder due in equal annual installments each anniversary date during the next three years. The subscriptions bear no interest to the employee. The unpaid portion of subscriptions receivable has been classified as contra-equity, notes receivable for Class A common stock in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ (deficiency) equity. All outstanding notes were settled in 2006.

12. Stock Plans

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Option Plan”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in March 2005 and was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 2005, provides for the granting of stock options to employees and directors at the discretion of the Board or a committee of the Board. The 2005 Option Plan replaced the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”). As of December 31, 2007, there were options and restricted stock to purchase 1,601,035 shares of common stock outstanding under the 2005 Option Plan. The Company is authorized to issue up to an aggregate of 4,842,910 shares of its common stock pursuant to stock options granted under the 2005 Option Plan. As of December 31, 2007, there were a total of 2,702,346 shares of common stock not subject to outstanding options and restricted stock and available for issuance under the 2005 Option Plan. The purpose of stock options is to recognize past services rendered and to provide additional incentive in furthering the continued success of the Company. Stock options granted under both the 2005 Option Plan and the 2000 Stock Option Plan expires between the fifth and tenth anniversary of the date of grant and generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Unexercised stock options may expire up to 90 days after an employee’s termination.

SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. In 2007 and 2006, the fair value of each grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Expected volatility was based upon a weighted average of peer companies,

90

Kenexa Corporation and Subsidiaries

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless noted otherwise)

comparable indices, and the Company’s stock volatility. The expected life was determined based upon an average of the contractual life and vesting period of the options. The estimated forfeiture rate was based upon an analysis of historical data. The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury zero coupon bond yields at the time of grant. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the share-based awards for the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

	Years ended December 31,
	2007		2006		2005
Expected volatility	47.26 – 54.95	%	39.5 – 41.98	%	51.3	%
Expected dividends	0		0		0	%
Expected term (in years)	4 – 5		4 – 5		4 – 6.5	%
Risk-free rate	2.5 – 4.6	%	4.6 – 5.1	%	4.5	%

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and changes during the period then ended is as follows:

As of December 31, 2007, there was $8,351 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2005 Option Plan and the 2000 Option Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested share options and restricted stock as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is presented below:

Nonvested Shares	Shares		Wtd. Avg. Grant Date Fair Value

Nonvested at December 31, 2007	1,359,700		$	10.73

SFAS No. 123R also requires us to change the classification of any tax benefits realized upon exercise of stock options in excess of that which is associated with the expense recognized for financial reporting purposes. These amounts are presented as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of income taxes paid in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

The pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies was determined using the alternative transition method described in FSP FAS 123(R)-3. Using this method an opening pool balance of $22 was calculated.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, we classified share-based compensation within cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development corresponding to the same line as the cash compensation paid to respective employees, officers and non-employee directors.

	Cost		Fair Value

We had net unrealized losses related to short-term investments of 104 at December 31, 2007. The company sold available-for-sale securities for proceeds of $75,220 in 2007. We had no realized gains on the sales of these securities.

16. Subsequent Events

On February 20, 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require the company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the company may terminate the repurchase program at any time.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report, or the Evaluation Date. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The results of management’s assessment were reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Grant Thornton, LLP audited management’s assessment and independently assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Grant Thornton, LLP has issued an attestation report concurring with management’s assessment, which is included below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Kenexa Corporation

We have audited Kenexa Corporation and Subsidiaries’ (collectively, “Kenexa Corporation”) (a Pennsylvania corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Kenexa Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Kenexa Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Kenexa Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Kenexa Corporation and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year then ended and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

(c) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management’s evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
