DOUBLE-TAKE SOFTWARE, INC.
Unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
     Double-Take Software, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is engaged in developing, marketing and supporting data protection software solutions for high availability, disaster recovery and centralized backup. The Company operates in one reportable segment and its revenues are mainly derived from sales of software and related services. Software is licensed by the Company primarily to distributors, value added resellers (“VARS”) and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMS”), located primarily in the United States and Europe.
Registration Statement on Form S-3
     On January 24, 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register 3,184,519 shares for disposition for certain stockholders. Between November 2002 and October 2004, the Company issued shares of preferred stock in private placement transactions with institutional and other accredited investors, including the selling stockholders. The shares of preferred stock issued in these private placements and outstanding immediately prior to the initial public offering in December 2006 were automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the initial public offering. In connection with the Company’s October 2004 private placement, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, upon the request of the selling stockholders the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC in order to register the disposition from time to time of shares of the Company’s common stock held by the selling stockholders.
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Double-Take Software Canada, Inc. (“Double-Take Canada”) entered into a share purchase agreement with TimeSpring Software Corporation (“TimeSpring”) on December 24, 2007 and a share purchase agreement with emBoot, Inc (“emBoot”) on July 28, 2008. The consolidated financial statements include the financial results and activities related to Double-Take Canada’s acquisition of TimeSpring and emBoot from the dates of the acquisition. Double-Take Software S.A.S. (“Double-Take EMEA”) has been consolidated since May 23, 2006, which is the date Double-Take EMEA was acquired.
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, the consolidated income statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. They do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s statement of financial position as of September 30, 2008, the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Use of Estimates
     GAAP requires that the Company make certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the determination of the fair value of stock options issued, estimates in connection with acquisitions, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the carrying value of the deferred tax assets. The estimates and judgments upon which the Company relies are based upon information available to it at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected.
Goodwill
     The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). FAS 142 requires that goodwill with indefinite lives is not amortized but reviewed for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually.
Revenue Recognition
     In accordance with EITF 01-9, the Company’s revenue is reported net of rebates and discounts because there is no identifiable benefit in exchange for the rebate or discount. The Company derives revenues from two primary sources or elements: software licenses and services. Services include customer support, consulting, installation services and training. A typical sales arrangement includes both of these elements. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations to all transactions to determine the recognition of revenue.
     For software arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company recognizes revenue using the residual method as described in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered elements based on relative fair value and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of the undelivered elements in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when such elements are sold separately, which is commonly referred to as vendor-specific objective-evidence (“VSOE”).
     The Company’s software licenses typically provide for a perpetual right to use the Company’s software and are sold on a per-copy basis. The Company recognizes software revenue through direct sales channels and resellers upon receipt of a purchase order or other persuasive evidence and when all other basic revenue recognition criteria are met as described below. Revenue from software licenses sold through an original equipment manufacturer partner is recognized upon the receipt of a royalty report evidencing sales.
     Services revenue includes revenue from customer support and other professional services. Customer support includes software updates (including unspecified product upgrades and enhancements) on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support and bug fixes or patches. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year. To determine the price for the customer support element when sold separately, the Company uses actual rates at which it has previously sold support as established VSOE.
     Other professional services such as consulting and installation services provided by the Company are not essential to the functionality of the software and can also be performed by the customer or a third party. Revenues from consulting and installation services are recognized when the services are completed. Training fees are recognized after the training course has been provided. Any paid professional services, including training, that have not been performed within three years of the original invoice date are recognized as revenue in the quarter that is three years after the original invoice date. Based on the Company’s analysis of such other professional services transactions sold on a stand-alone basis, the Company has concluded it has established VSOE for such other professional services when sold in connection with a multiple-element software arrangement. The price for other professional services has not materially changed for the periods presented.

5


 

     The Company has analyzed all of the undelivered elements included in its multiple-element arrangements and determined that VSOE of fair value exists to allocate revenues to services. Accordingly, assuming all basic revenue recognition criteria are met, software revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software license using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9.
     The Company considers the four basic revenue recognition criteria for each of the elements as follows:
     Persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists. The Company’s customary practice is to require a purchase order and, in some cases, a written contract signed by both the customer and the Company prior to recognizing revenue with respect to an arrangement.
     Delivery or performance has occurred. The Company’s software applications are usually physically delivered to customers with standard transfer terms such as FOB shipping point. Software and/or software license keys for add-on orders or software updates are typically delivered via email. The Company recognizes software revenue upon shipment to resellers and distributors because there is no right of return or refund and no price protection agreements. In situations where multiple copies of licenses are purchased, all copies are delivered to the customer in one shipment and revenue is recognized upon shipment. Occasionally, the Company enters into a site license with a customer that allows the customer to use a specified number of licenses within the organization. When a site license is sold, the Company delivers a master disk to the customer that allows the product to be installed on multiple servers. The Company has no further obligation to provide additional copies of the software or user manuals. Revenue on site licenses is recognized upon shipment of the master disk to the customer. Sales made by the Company’s Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners are recognized as revenue in the month the product is shipped. The Company estimates the revenue from a preliminary report received from the OEM shortly after the end of the month. Once the final report is received, the revenue is adjusted to that based on the final report, usually in the following month. Services revenue is recognized when the services are completed, except for customer support, which is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year.
     Fee is fixed or determinable. The fee customers pay for software applications, customer support and other professional services is negotiated at the outset of an arrangement. The fees are therefore considered to be fixed or determinable at the inception of the arrangement.
     Collection is probable. Probability of collection is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. Each new customer undergoes a credit review process to evaluate its financial position and ability to pay. If the Company determines from the outset of an arrangement that collection is not probable based upon the review process, revenue is recognized on a cash-collected basis.
     The Company’s arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement does include an acceptance clause, revenue for such an arrangement is deferred and recognized upon acceptance. Acceptance occurs upon the earliest of receipt of a written customer acceptance, waiver of customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company recognizes stock option expense using the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123(R)”). The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions only to awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date of FAS 123(R) which was January 1, 2006. In accordance with FAS 123(R), stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value of stock option awards granted or modified after January 1, 2006. As the Company had used the minimum value method for valuing its stock options under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“FAS 123”), all unmodified options granted prior to January 1, 2006 continue to be accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25.
     The Company accounts for stock option grants to non-employees in accordance with FAS No. 123(R) and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which require that the fair value of these instruments be recognized as an expense over the period in which the related services are rendered.

Income Taxes
     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FAS 109”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted laws and tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
Reclassifications
     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
2. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
     Basic and diluted net income per share information for all periods is presented under the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“FAS 128”). Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect, if any, of potential common shares.
The following table sets forth the computation of income per share:
                                 
    Three months Ended     Nine months Ended  
    September 30,     September 30,  
    2008     2007     2008     2007  
Net income
  $ 2,622     $ 3,308     $ 7,429     $ 13,738  
 
                       
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic
    21,980       21,525       21,960       21,152  
Dilutive effect of stock options
    1,109       1,527       1,137       1,775  
Dilutive effect of common stock warrants
                      23  
 
                       
Weighted average common shares outstanding — diluted
    23,089       23,052       23,097       22,950  
 
                       
Basic net income per share
  $ 0.12     $ 0.15     $ 0.34     $ 0.65  
Diluted net income per share
  $ 0.11     $ 0.14     $ 0.32     $ 0.60  
     The following potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because they had an anti-dilutive impact:
                                 
    Three months Ended   Nine months Ended
    September 30,   September 30,
    2008   2007   2008   2007
Stock options
    1,510       634       1,505       647  
3. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE
     Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in time deposits held at major banks, commercial paper, corporate bonds, United States Treasury obligations and other money market securities with remaining maturities at date of purchase of 90 days or less.
     Short term investments, which are carried at fair value, generally consist of commercial paper and corporate notes with original maturities of one year or less with Standard and Poor’s ratings ranging from A to AAA, and United States Treasury obligations with original maturities of one year or less. The Company classifies these securities as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and at each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Interest received on these securities is included in interest income. Realized gains or losses upon disposition of available-for-sale securities are included in other income.

     SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
    Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
     The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets generally include most money market securities and equity investments and can include certain corporate notes, United States treasury obligations and some federal notes and bonds. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company invests in money market funds that are traded daily and does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in less active markets, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency generally include the Company’s commercial paper and can include certain federal notes and bonds. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses consensus pricing, which is based on multiple pricing sources, to value its cash equivalents and short term investments.
     In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FAS 157-3”). FAS 157-3 clarified the application of FAS 157. FAS 157-3 demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s financial assets, classified as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2008:

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
     In connection with the acquisition of Double-Take EMEA, a portion of the contingent purchase price equal to the excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the non-contingent portion of the purchase price was accrued in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”). Earn-out payments in excess of the initial amount recorded as a liability were recorded as additional purchase price and resulted in goodwill. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company paid the final earn-out payment of $328. The aggregate earn-out payments as a result of the acquisition were $10,166 to the former owners of Double-Take EMEA, $5,208 of which was recorded as goodwill.
     In accordance with the share purchase agreement between the TimeSpring shareholders and Double-Take Canada, the Company made post-closing working capital adjustments to the purchase price allocation of $134. These post-closing adjustments increased the goodwill related to this acquisition to $6,662.
     As a result of the emBoot acquisition, the Company recorded a technology related intangible in the amount of $3,000 and goodwill of $6,810. See Note 12 for details of this acquisition.
     Intangible assets consist of the following:

6. CONTINGENCIES
     In the normal course of its business, the Company may be involved in various claims, negotiations and legal actions; however, at September 30, 2008, the Company is not party to any litigation that is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Common stock
     Options to purchase 60,429 and 812,977 shares of common stock were exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the Company received aggregated proceeds of $88 and $1,188, respectively.
Stock option plans
     In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued options to purchase 788,320 shares of common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $12.18 per share, which is based on exercise prices equal to the fair market value per share on the dates of grant. The weighted average fair value as of the grant date of the options issued was $6.43.
     A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is presented below:
                 
            Weighted  
            Average  
            Exercise

Options exercisable at September 30, 2008
    1,799,566     $ 5.54  
 
               
Options not vested at September 30, 2008(2)
    1,314,130     $ 12.51  
 
(1)   Intrinsic value of $753 and cash received of $88.
 
(2)   113,885 additional options are expected to vest in the remainder of 2008.
     The Company’s policy is to issue new shares upon exercise of options as the Company does not hold shares in treasury.
     The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at September 30, 2008, was approximately $12,457. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable at September 30, 2008 was approximately $11,013.
     All options granted are equity awards and the Company has not granted any liability awards. The Company expects to recognize future compensation costs aggregating $10,046 for options granted but not vested as of September 30, 2008. Such amount will be recognized over the weighted average requisite service period, which is expected to be approximately 2 years. The options generally have a contractual life of ten years.
     The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

8. INCOME TAXES
     In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a tax expense of $2.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively related to income generated during the periods using the effective tax rate that is currently expected to be in effect for the full year. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a tax expense of $2.1 million and a tax benefit of $0.5 million, respectively.
     As of December 31, 2007, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $26,030 against net deferred tax assets, which are primarily comprised of net operating loss carryforwards as a result of operating losses incurred since inception. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing of which is uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation allowance.
     The Company analyzes the carrying value of its deferred tax assets on a regular basis. In determining future taxable income, assumptions are made to forecast federal, state and international operating income, the reversal of temporary timing differences, and the implementation of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. The assumptions require significant judgment regarding the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with forecasts used to manage the business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, there was no reversal of the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient further positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.
     The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The application of this Interpretation requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company did not recognize any uncertain tax positions and the Company did not recognize any increase or decrease to reserves for uncertain tax positions.
     The Company has elected to record interest and penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 in the financial statements as income taxes. Any subsequent change in classification of FIN 48 interest and penalties will be treated as a change in accounting principle subject to the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
9. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
     Effective March 1, 1996, the Company adopted a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”), which, as amended, qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan covers all employees who meet eligibility requirements. Employer contributions are discretionary. The Company recorded an expense of $81, $444, $55, and $227 for employer contributions to the Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

12. ACQUISITION OF EMBOOT, INC.
     On July 28, 2008, the Company and Double-Take Canada, a Canadian corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with emBoot, a Canadian corporation (a company specializing in network booting technology), and the shareholders of emBoot (the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Double-Take Canada acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares of emBoot for a cash purchase price of approximately $9.6 million plus transaction costs and subject to certain customary post-closing working capital adjustments. Approximately $1.6 million of the purchase price was placed into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations of the Sellers.
     The acquisition of emBoot was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were accounted for at their fair values at the acquisition date based on a management review, including a valuation report issued by an independent third party. The amounts are based on currently available information and certain assumptions and estimates that management believes are reasonable. Operating results of the Double-Take Canada acquisition of emBoot are included in the consolidated financial statements from its date of acquisition.

13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 (a) establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to assets and liabilities, where required or permitted by Accounting Standards; (b) establishes a framework for measuring fair value; and (c) expands disclosures concerning fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not extend the required use of fair value to any new circumstances. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 which provides for a one-year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. FAS 157 was, with the exception of the one-year deferral for non-financial assets and liabilities as previously noted, effective for the Company January 1, 2008 and there was no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not expect the adoption of Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FAS 157-3”). FAS 157-3 clarified the application of FAS 157. FAS 157-3 demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FAS 161 on its financial statements but believes the adoption of FAS 161 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, including goodwill, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of adopting FAS 141R will be dependent on the future business combinations that the Company may pursue after its effective date.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”). This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing what the impact of the adoption of FAS 160 will be on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 162). FAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. The hierarchy under FAS 162 is as follows:
    FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, AICPA Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB, and Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC for SEC registrants.
 
    FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position.
 
    AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the EITF, and Appendix D EITF topics.
 
    Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry.
FAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FAS 162 on its financial statements but believes the adoption of FAS 162 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
     In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141R, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing what the impact of the adoption of FSP 142-3 will be on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Overview
     Double-Take Software develops, sells and supports affordable software that moves, protects, and recovers data, applications and operating systems. We believe that we are a leading supplier of replication software for Microsoft server environments and that our business is distinguished by our focus on software license and recurring maintenance sales, our productive distribution network and our efficient services infrastructure. Organizations of all sizes increasingly rely on application systems and stored electronic data to conduct business. Threats of business disruptions from events such as 9/11 and Hurricanes Katrina and Ike and regulations that have increased data protection requirements for businesses in many industries are causing more organizations to re-examine their data and server recovery strategies. Our software responds to these needs by continuously replicating software and data changes made on a primary operating server to a duplicate server at a different location. Because the duplicate server can commence operating in place of the primary server at almost any time, our software facilitates rapid failover and application recovery in the event of a disaster or other service interruption. With our acquisition of Double-Take Canada and its TimeData products we can also recover data from almost any point in time from a repository located on- or off-site. We estimate that we have sold software licenses to more than 17,500 customers. On July 28, 2008, through Double-Take Canada, we purchased emBoot, experts in network booting technology. The technology acquired with emBoot allows organizations to easily assign and re-assign computing workloads to any available Windows or Linux physical servers or desktops or any virtual machine in their environment. IT organizations can now move those workloads around in a matter of minutes, whether it is because a disaster has occurred, a data center is moving, the company has decided to virtualize its infrastructure or an application needs more capacity. We believe the emBoot products will complement our current product offerings as well as contribute to our ability to support the increasing prevalence of corporations’ dynamic infrastructures.
     In recent years, we have experienced substantial growth, increasing our total revenue from $29.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $82.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, and we have gone from having net losses of $8.0 million to a net income of $20.1 million during that same period. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $71.3 million and we recorded net income of $7.4 million. We believe that our focus on providing affordable replication software to companies of all sizes through an efficient direct sales team and a robust distribution network has been instrumental to our revenue growth. Revenue generated by sales of our software represented 54% and 59% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Sales of maintenance and professional services generated the remainder of our revenue.
     As a result of our investments in developing our software and establishing our broad distribution network, as well as legal fees and settlement costs associated with the defense and settlement of a legal case involving our intellectual property, we experienced significant operating losses through 2005. Our ability to increase the productivity of our sales force and distribution partners while controlling our other expenses has driven an improvement in our results, from an operating loss of $3.8 million and a net loss of $3.8 million in 2005 to an operating income of $16.6 million and net income of $20.1 million in 2007. Our acquisition of Double-Take EMEA on May 23, 2006 has also contributed to our improved results since 2005. We achieved operating income of $12.3 million and net income of $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Some Important Aspects of Our Operations
     We license our software under perpetual licenses to end-user customers directly and to a network of distributors, value-added resellers and original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs. Our distributors primarily sell our software to our resellers. Our resellers bundle or sell our software together with their own products and also sell our software independently. Our OEMs market, sell and support our software and services on a stand-alone basis and incorporate our software into their own hardware and software products.
     Our acquisition of Double-Take EMEA in 2006 has continued to provide us with a direct presence in the European, Middle Eastern and African markets, the opportunity to further our strategic initiative to increase revenue generated outside of the United States, and opportunities for improved margins. The inclusion of Double-Take EMEA’s assets and operations in our business since May 23, 2006 has contributed to a significant increase in the size of our business.
     On December 24, 2007, we completed our acquisition of Double-Take Canada. We do not anticipate this acquisition will provide significant revenue in 2008, but we believe the acquisition of Double-Take Canada’s patented technology and the engineering expertise of the employees, specifically in the area of file systems and application level recovery, fits extremely well into our core capabilities as does the product design into our architecture. We expect that this acquisition will help broaden development efforts of our products. During 2008, we expect that substantially all of the expenses related to Double-Take Canada will be related to research and development and to a lesser extent depreciation and amortization. On July 28, 2008, we completed our acquisition of emBoot.

We do not anticipate this acquisition will provide significant revenue in 2008, and we expect substantially all of the on-going expenses will be related to research and development and to a lesser extent depreciation and amortization.
Revenue
     We derive revenue from sales of perpetual licenses for our software and from maintenance and professional services.
     Software Licenses. We derive the majority of our revenue from sales of perpetual licenses of our software applications, which allow our customers to use the software indefinitely. We do not customize our software for a specific end user customer. We recognize revenue from sales of perpetual licenses generally upon shipment of the software. In accordance with EITF 01-9, our software revenue is reported net of rebates and discounts because we do not receive an identifiable benefit in exchange for the rebate or discount.
     Our software revenue generated approximately 54% and 59% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our software revenue generally experiences some seasonality. We believe that many organizations do not make the bulk of their information technology purchases, including software, in the first quarter of any year. We believe that this generally has resulted in lower revenue generated by software sales in our first quarter of any year. We have also experienced lower revenue in the summer months.
     Maintenance and Professional Services. We also generate revenue by providing our customers with maintenance comprised of software updates and product support. We generally include our maintenance for a designated period in the price of the software at the time of sale. In addition, some of our customers enter into a maintenance agreement for periods longer than a year. These agreements entitle our customers to software updates on a when-and-if-available basis and product support for an annual fee based on the licenses purchased and the level of service subscribed. Almost all of our customers that purchase maintenance pay the entire amount payable under the agreement in advance, although we recognize maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the agreement. This policy has contributed to increasing deferred revenue balances on our balance sheet and positive cash flow from operations.
     In some cases, most often in connection with the licensing of our software, we provide professional services to assist our customers in strategic planning for disaster recovery and application high availability, the installation of our software and the training of their employees to use our software. We provide most of our professional services on a fixed price basis and we generally recognize the revenue for professional services once we complete the engagement. For any paid professional services, including training, that have not been performed within three years of the original invoice date, we recognize the services as revenue in the quarter that is three years after original invoice date.
     Of total maintenance and professional services revenue, maintenance revenue represented 91% and 88% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Professional services generated the remainder of our total maintenance and professional services revenue in these periods.
     Of our total revenue, maintenance revenue represented 41% and 36% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Professional services accounted for 4% and 5% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our maintenance and professional services revenue historically has generated lower gross margins than our software revenue. The gross margin generated by our maintenance and professional services revenue was 78% and 76% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We have focused on increasing our maintenance revenue and we believe it has increased more rapidly than license revenue due to price increases and increased renewal rates attributable to focused sales efforts and the inclusion of significant new functionality in the product at no charge for licenses on which maintenance has been purchased. As the percentage of total revenue attributable to maintenance increases, our overall gross margins will be adversely affected.
     Cost of Revenue
     Our cost of revenue primarily consists of the following:
     Cost of Software Revenue. Cost of software revenue consists primarily of media, manual, translation and distribution costs, and royalties to third-party software developers for technology embedded within our software. Because our development initiatives have resulted in insignificant time and costs incurred between technological feasibility and the point at which the software is ready for general release, we do not capitalize any of our internally-developed software.

17


 

     Cost of Services Revenue. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of salary and other personnel-related costs incurred in connection with our provision of maintenance and professional services. Cost of services revenue also includes other allocated overhead expenses for our professional services and product support personnel, as well as travel-related expenses for our staff to perform work at a customer’s site.
Operating Expenses
     We classify our operating expenses as follows:
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of the following:
    personnel and related costs for employees engaged in sales, corporate marketing, product marketing and product management with partners in our distribution network, including salaries, commissions and other incentive compensation, including equity-based compensation, related employee benefit costs and allocated overhead expenses;
 
    travel related expenses to meet with existing and potential customers, and for other sales and marketing related purposes; and
 
    sales promotion expenses, public relations expenses and costs for marketing materials and other marketing events, including trade shows, industry conventions and advertising, and marketing development funds for our distribution partners.
     We expense our sales commissions at the time of sale. We expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we increase the number of direct sales professionals and invest in marketing programs.
     Research and Development. Research and development expenses primarily represent the expense of developing new software and modifying existing software. These expenses primarily consist of the following:
    personnel and related costs, including salaries, employee benefits, equity and other incentive compensation and allocated overhead expenses, for research and development personnel, including software engineers, software quality assurance engineers and systems engineers; and
 
    contract labor expense and consulting fees paid to independent consultants and others who provide software engineering services to us, as well as other expenses associated with the design and testing of our software.
     To date, our research and development efforts have been primarily devoted to increases in features and functionality of our existing software. We expect research and development expense to increase in the future as we continue to develop new solutions for our customers. We expect research and development expense to increase as a percentage of revenue in 2008 as we continue to invest in product development efforts.
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses represent the costs and expenses of managing and supporting our operations. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the following:
    personnel and related costs including salaries, employee benefits, equity and other incentive compensation and allocated overhead expenses, for our executives, finance, human resources, corporate information technology systems, strategic business, corporate quality, corporate training and other administrative personnel;
 
    legal and accounting professional fees;
 
    recruiting and training costs;
 
    travel related expenses for executives and other administrative personnel; and
 
    computer maintenance and support for our internal information technology system.

18


 

     General and administrative expenses have historically increased as we have incurred increased expenses related to being a publicly-traded company and have invested in an infrastructure to support our growth. However, we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future, as we believe the rate at which our revenue will increase will exceed the rate at which we expect to incur these additional expenses.
     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation expense primarily for computer equipment we use for information services and in our development and test labs, and amortization of intangible assets acquired.
Results of Operations
     Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007
     Revenue. We derive our revenue from sales of our products and support and services. Revenue increased 12% to $24.0 million, from $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to September 30, 2007. Revenue for 2008 includes revenue from Double-Take Canada which was acquired on December 24, 2007, and which subsequently acquired emBoot on July 28, 2008. Of our sales in the three months ended September 30, 2008, 91% was attributable to sales to or through our indirect channels such as distributors, value-added resellers and OEMs, which was an increase from 88% of our sales attributable to sales to or through our indirect channels for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This percentage can vary from quarter to quarter and we do not expect to significantly increase our proportion of sales from direct sales in the near term. Of our sales in the three months ended September 30, 2008, 9% was attributable to direct sales to end users, a decrease from 12% of our total revenue attributable to end users in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Historically, our total revenue has generally increased each quarter within a calendar year with the exception of the three months ended September 30, 2008. The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by $0.5 million or 2% from the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of a number of expected deals not closing in September in both Europe and in the American regions in the latter part of September. Expected deals not closing was unusual for Double-Take and has not been experienced to such an extent previously in the American regions. The deals that did not close in September generally were larger opportunities and were across multiple industries, although we did experience specific issues with some financial institutions.
     Software License Revenue. Software revenue increased $0.2 million, or 2%, from $12.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $12.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. The slight increase in software revenue was attributable to new product sales including Linux, Livewire, TimeData and emBoot products, and was partially offset due to the expected sales that did not close in Europe and the American regions during the latter part of September. Even though license revenue was flat sales of our virtual systems products increased.
     Software sales made to or through our distributors, value-added resellers and OEMs generated approximately 94% and 89% of total software sales in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 6% and 11%, respectively, of our software sales were made solely by our direct sales force. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, were made to our distributors for sale to value-added resellers, approximately 76% and 70%, respectively, of which were made directly through resellers and approximately 5% and 7%, respectively, were made through OEMs. We believe that we will need to continue to maintain close relationships with our partners to sustain and increase profitability. We have no current plans to focus future growth on one distribution channel versus another. We believe our direct sales force complements our indirect distribution network, and we intend to continue to increase revenue generated by both.

19


 

     In the three months ended September 30, 2008, the median price of sales of Double-Take software licenses to customers was approximately $6,000 and the average sales cycle was generally three months, although we have experienced a longer sales cycle on larger deals. On May 1, 2007 and December 1, 2007, we implemented a nominal price increase across all of our products except in a few international markets where the price was already commensurate with the nominal price increase implemented in the United States. We believe that these factors have contributed to more balanced sales throughout the year and more predictable revenue streams in comparison to other software companies with perpetual license models. We believe that the affordability of our software is a competitive advantage.
     Maintenance and Professional Services Revenue. Maintenance and professional services revenue increased $2.4 million, or 28%, from $8.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007, to $11.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Maintenance and professional services revenue represented 46% of our total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 41% of our total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Maintenance revenue increased $2.4 million, or 31%, from $7.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007, to $10.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in maintenance revenue was due to price increases and increased renewal rates attributable to focused sales efforts and the inclusion of significant new functionality in the product at no charge for licenses on which maintenance has been purchased. Professional services revenue increased $0.1 million, or 6%, from $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007, to $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. The slight increase in professional services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due to more engagements being completed in the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007. There are variations in scheduling of the delivery of professional services from quarter to quarter that will impact the amount of professional services recognized in each quarter.
     Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
     Total cost of revenue increased $0.5 million, or 25%, from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Total cost of revenue represented 10% and 9% of our total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
     Cost of software revenue increased $0.1 million, or 120% from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was a result of increased royalties paid to third parties related to software included in our product. In the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the cost of software revenue was 1% of software revenue. In the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the cost of software revenue was 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively of total revenue.
     Cost of services revenue increased $0.4 million, or 22%, from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in personnel. Cost of services revenue represented 21% of our services revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 22% in the three months ended September 30, 2007. In the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the cost of services revenue was 10% and 9%, respectively, of total revenue.
     Gross profit increased $2.2 million, or 11%, from $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Gross margin was 90% in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 91% in the three months ended September 30, 2007.
     Operating Expenses
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.5 million, or 21%, from $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was due to increased compensation and FAS 123R expense of $0.8 million and travel expense of $0.2 million related to an increase in personnel which included the reallocation of certain Double-Take EMEA resources from general and administrative because they are more directly related to the sales efforts in 2008. Additionally, expense related to various marketing activities increased by $0.6 million. The increases were partially offset by decreased commission expense of $0.1 million due to virtually flat license revenue.
     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $1.3 million, or 42%, from $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase primarily resulted from higher compensation expense and FAS 123R of $0.4 million due to an increase in personnel, $0.1 million from outsourced development projects, and $0.7 million related to our acquisition of Double-Take Canada on December 24, 2007 and emBoot on July 28, 2008.

20


 

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 18%, from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease primarily resulted from a decrease of $0.5 million in compensation and FAS 123R expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of a reallocation of certain Double-Take EMEA resources to sales and marketing because they are more directly related to the sales efforts in 2008 and decreased FAS 123R expense specifically related to stock option grants made to the Board of Directors in 2007 as compared to the similar stock option grants made to the Board of Directors in 2008. The decrease in compensation expense is partially offset by increased personnel costs related to increased headcount. Additionally, expense related to the compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and cost for being a public company decreased by $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 which was partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million related to bad debt expense substantially related to our EMEA receivables.
     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million, or 62%, from $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to increased depreciation expense associated with increased capital expenditures and increased amortization related to the technology related intangibles that were acquired in connection with the acquisition of Double-Take Canada on December 24, 2007 and emBoot on July 28, 2008.
     Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $0.4 million, or 50%, from $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. While our cash and short term investments increased slightly from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008, our interest income decreased. The decrease was a result of lower returns on our cash and short term investments which matured during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and were reinvested at lower rates than in 2007. During 2008, should the interest rates continue to remain at lower levels than those experienced in 2007, we expect our interest income to be less in 2008 than in 2007.
     Foreign Exchange (losses)
     Our foreign currency translation adjustment was a $0.1 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 due to foreign currency fluctuations related to Double-Take EMEA.
     Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
     Income tax expense was $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. In the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded a tax expense using the effective tax rate that is currently expected to be in effect for the full year. The effective tax rate increased from 38% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in the effective tax rate was substantially as a result of increased taxable income generated from operations in the United States and increased stock option expense which is not deductible for tax purposes.
     In determining future taxable income, assumptions are made to forecast federal, state and international operating income, the reversal of temporary timing differences, and the implementation of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. The assumptions require significant judgment regarding the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with forecasts used to manage the business. As of December 31, 2007 we had a valuation allowance of $26.0 million recorded against net deferred tax assets, which are primarily comprised of net operating loss carryforwards as a result of operating losses incurred since inception. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 there was no change to this valuation allowance. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing of which is uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets are offset by the valuation allowance. Utilization of these net operating losses and credit carryforwards are subject to annual limitations due to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that are applicable due to “ownership changes” that have occurred. We will maintain the valuation allowance until sufficient further positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation.
     Net Income
     Net income decreased $0.7 million, or 21%, from $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 revenue increased by $2.6 million. The increase in revenue was primarly due to increased services revenue as a result of increased maintenance revenue due to price increases and increased renewal rates attributable to focused sales efforts and the inclusion of significant new functionality in the product at no charge for licenses on which maintenance has been purchased. The revenue growth was generally offset by increased cost of revenue of $0.5 million and increased operating expenses of $2.4 million. The increased operating expenses are substantially related to increased research and development expenses of $1.3 million and increased sales and marketing expenses of $1.5 million. Research and development expenses increased as a result of our continued investment in our product including expenses as a result of the acquisition of Double-Take Canada and emBoot. Sales and marketing expenses increased as we continued to build our sales and marketing team and continue to participate in various marketing programs in order to increase our revenue. Our income from operations decreased by $0.3 million, or 5%, from $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in revenue was further offset by a decrease of $0.4 million of other income primarily due to less interest income.

     Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
     Revenue. We derive our revenue from sales of our products and support and services. Revenue increased 20% to $71.3 million, from $59.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to September 30, 2007. Revenue for 2008 includes revenue from Double-Take Canada which was acquired on December 24, 2007 and which subsequently acquired emBoot on July 28, 2008. Of our sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 89% was attributable to sales to or through our indirect channels such as distributors, value-added resellers and OEMs, which was a decrease from 91% of our sales attributable to sales to or through our indirect channels for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This percentage can vary quarter to quarter and over time. Of our sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 11% was attributable to direct sales to end users, an increase from 9% of our total revenue attributable to end users in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
     Software License Revenue. Software revenue increased $3.9 million, or 11%, from $35.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $38.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in software revenue was primarily due to the increased number of software licenses sold resulting from broader demand for, and acceptance of, our software. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008 sales related to our core products increased and sales of our virtual systems products continued to sell well. We secured our first key account for our Linux offering and had sales related to TimeData, Livewire and the emBoot products. Our increase in software revenue was partially offset by weaker than expected license sales from Double-Take EMEA during the second quarter of 2008 and a number of expected deals not closing in September in both Europe and in the American regions. Expected deals not closing was unusual for Double-Take and has not been experienced to such an extent previously in the American regions. The deals that did not close in September were generally larger opportunities and were across multiple industries, although we did experience specific issues with some financial institutions.
     Software sales made to or through our distributors, value-added resellers and OEMs generated approximately 91% of total software sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 9% of our software sales were made solely by our direct sales force. During the nine month ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, were made to our distributors for sale to value-added resellers, approximately 72% and 72%, respectively, of which were made directly through resellers and approximately 6% and 7%, respectively, were made through OEMs. We believe that we will need to continue to maintain close relationships with our partners to sustain and increase profitability. We have no current plans to focus future growth on one distribution channel versus another. We believe our direct sales force complements our indirect distribution network, and we intend to continue to increase revenue generated by both.
     In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the median price of sales of Double-Take software licenses to customers was approximately $6,000 and the average sales cycle was generally three months, although we have experienced a longer sales cycle on larger deals. On May 1, 2007 and December 1, 2007, we implemented a nominal price increase across all of our products except in a few international markets where the price was already commensurate with the nominal price increase implemented in the United States. We believe that these factors have contributed to more balanced sales throughout the year and more predictable revenue streams in comparison to other software companies with perpetual license models. We believe that the affordability of our software is a competitive advantage.
     Maintenance and Professional Services Revenue. Maintenance and professional services revenue increased $8.2 million, or 34%, from $24.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, to $32.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Maintenance and professional services revenue represented 46% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 41% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Maintenance revenue increased $8.2 million, or 39%, from $21.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, to $29.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in maintenance revenue was due to price increases and increased renewal rates attributable to focused sales efforts and the inclusion of significant new functionality in the product at no charge for licenses on which maintenance has been purchased. Professional services revenue was $3.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The nominal increase in professional services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due to the timing of the completion of engagements in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. There are variations in scheduling of the delivery of professional services that will impact the amount of professional services recognized in each period.

     Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
     Total cost of revenue increased $1.6 million or 26%, from $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $7.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Total cost of revenue represented 11% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
     Cost of software revenue increased $0.2 million, or 84%, from $0.2 million for the nine months ended from September 30, 2007 to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was a result of increased royalties paid to third parties related to software included in our product. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the cost of software was 1% of software revenue. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the cost of software as a percent of total revenue was 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively.
     Cost of services revenue increased $1.4 million, or 24%, from $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in personnel and FAS123R cost of $1.2 million due to increased headcount and increased travel expense of $0.2 million. Cost of services revenue represented 22% of our services revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 24% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cost of services revenue represents 10% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
     Gross profit increased $10.5 million, or 20%, from $53.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $63.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Gross margin effectively remained constant at 89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
     Operating Expenses
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $5.6 million, or 27%, from $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was substantially due to increased compensation and FAS123R expense of $2.8 million and travel expense of $0.7 million related to an increase in personnel which included the reallocation of certain Double-Take EMEA resources from general and administrative since they are more directly related to the sales efforts in 2008. Additionally commission expense increased by $0.4 million resulting from increased sales and expense related to various marketing programs increased by $1.5 million.
     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $3.7 million, or 43%, from $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase primarily resulted from higher compensation and FAS 123R expense of $1.4 million due to an increase in personnel, $0.4 million from outsourced development projects, and $1.7 million related to our acquisitions of Double-Take Canada on December 24, 2007 and emBoot on July 28, 2008.
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 9%, from $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease resulted from a decrease of $0.3 million in compensation and FAS 123R expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of a reallocation of certain Double-Take EMEA resources to sales and marketing since they are more directly related to the sales efforts in 2008. The decrease in compensation expense is partially offset by increased personnel costs related to increased headcount. Additionally, the decrease in general and administrative expenses also resulted from the decreased expense related to the compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and cost for being a public company by $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million related to bad debt expense substantially related to our EMEA receivables.
     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.9 million, or 55%, from $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to increased depreciation expense associated with increased capital expenditures and increased amortization related to the technology related intangibles which were acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Double-Take Canada on December 24, 2007 and emBoot on July 28, 2008.

23


 

     Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $0.7 million, or 33%, from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. While our cash and short term investments increased slightly from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008, our interest income decreased. The decrease was a result of lower returns on our cash and short term investments which matured during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and were reinvested at lower rates than in 2007. During 2008, should the interest rates continue to remain at lower levels than those experienced in 2007, we expect our interest income to be less in 2008 than in 2007.
     Foreign Exchange (losses)
     Foreign currency losses increased to $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from a $0.1 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to foreign currency fluctuations related to Double-Take EMEA. The loss occurred on assets we had which were denominated in British Pounds in Europe. These assets are converted to Euros and then subsequently to US dollars for financial statement reporting purposes. Because the UK Pound weakened significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 against the Euro, the translation to Euros and then subsequently to US dollars produced the loss. This is the first time since our acquisition of Double-Take EMEA in May 2006 that we have recorded a measurable foreign currency gain or loss related to our UK Pound denominated assets. If the UK Pound weakens further against the Euro in future quarters, we may incur additional losses. If the UK Pound strengthens against the Euro in the future, we would incur foreign currency gains at that time.
     Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
     Income tax expense increased by $6.4 million, or 1202%, from a tax benefit of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to a tax expense of $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded a tax expense of $5.2 and reversed the valuation allowance on $5.7 million of deferred tax assets resulting in a net benefit of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded a tax expense using an effective tax rate currently expected to be in effect for the full year and did not record any further reduction to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The increase in tax expense was substantially as a result of increased taxable income generated from operations in the United States and increased stock option expense which is not deductible for tax purposes.
     In determining future taxable income, assumptions are made to forecast federal, state and international operating income, the reversal of temporary timing differences, and the implementation of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. The assumptions require significant judgment regarding the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with forecasts used to manage the business. As of December 31, 2007 we had a valuation allowance of $26.0 million recorded against net deferred tax assets, which are primarily comprised of net operating loss carryforwards as a result of operating losses incurred since inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 there was no change to this valuation allowance. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing of which is uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets are offset by the valuation allowance. Utilization of these net operating losses and credit carryforwards are subject to annual limitations due to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that are applicable due to “ownership changes” that have occurred. We will maintain the valuation allowance until sufficient further positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation.
     Net Income
     Net income decreased $6.3 million, or 46%, from $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 revenue increased by $12.1 million. The increase in revenue was substantially due to increased services revenue as a result of increased maintenance revenue due to price increases and increased renewal rates attributable to focused sales efforts and the inclusion of significant new functionality in our products at no charge to our customers for licenses on which maintenance has been purchased. Software license revenue increased as a result of an increase in the number of software licenses sold resulting from broader demand for, and acceptance of, our software. Even though our software revenue increased, the increase was partially offset by weaker than expected license sales from Double-Take EMEA during the second quarter of 2008 and a number of expected deals not closing in September in both Europe and in the American regions. The revenue growth was partially offset by increased cost of revenue of $1.6 million and increased operating expenses of $9.3 million. The increased operating expenses are substantially related to increased research and development expenses of $5.6 million and increased sales and marketing expenses of $3.7 million. Research and development expenses increased as a result of our continued investment in our product including expenses as a result of the acquisitions of Double-Take Canada and emBoot. Sales and marketing expenses increased as we continued to build our sales and marketing team and continue to participate in various marketing programs in order to increase our revenue. Our income from operations increased by $1.2 million, or 11%, from $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in income from operations was generally offset by increased tax expense of $6.4 million as a result of increased taxable income and no reversal of deferred tax assets and decreased other income of $1.1 million primarily due to less interest income and increased foreign currency losses.

Critical Accounting Policies
     In presenting our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We formulate these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other matters that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Of our significant accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following policies may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Revenue Recognition
     In accordance with EITF 01-9, our revenue is reported net of rebates and discounts because there is no identifiable benefit in exchange for the rebate or discount. We derive revenues from two primary sources or elements: software licenses and services. Services include customer support, consulting, installation services and training. A typical sales arrangement includes both of these elements. We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations to all transactions to determine the recognition of revenue.
     For software arrangements involving multiple elements, we recognize revenue using the residual method as described in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on relative fair value and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of the undelivered elements in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when such elements are sold separately, which is commonly referred to as vendor-specific objective-evidence (“VSOE”).
     Our software licenses typically provide for a perpetual right to use our software and are sold on a per-copy basis. We recognize software revenue through direct sales channels and resellers upon receipt of a purchase order or other persuasive evidence and when all other basic revenue recognition criteria are met as described below. Revenue from software licenses sold through an OEM partner is recognized upon the receipt of a royalty report evidencing sales.
     Services revenue includes revenue from customer support and other professional services. Customer support includes software updates (including unspecified product upgrades and enhancements) on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support and bug fixes or patches. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year. To determine the price for the customer support element when sold separately, we use actual rates at which we have previously sold support as established VSOE.
     Other professional services such as consulting and installation services provided by us are not essential to the functionality of the software and can also be performed by the customer or a third party. Revenues from consulting and installation services are recognized when the services are completed. Training fees are recognized after the training course has been provided. Any paid professional services, including training, that have not been performed within three years of the original invoice date are recognized as revenue in the quarter that is three years after the original invoice date. Based on our analysis of such other professional services transactions sold on a stand-alone basis, we have concluded we have established VSOE for such other professional services when sold in connection with a multiple-element software arrangement. The price for other professional services has not materially changed for the periods presented.
     We have analyzed all of the undelivered elements included in our multiple-element arrangements and determined that VSOE of fair value exists to allocate revenues to services. Accordingly, assuming all basic revenue recognition criteria are met, software revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software license using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9.

25


 

     We consider the four basic revenue recognition criteria for each of the elements as follows:
     Persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists. Our customary practice is to require a purchase order and, in some cases, a written contract signed by both the customer and us prior to recognizing revenue with respect to an arrangement.
     Delivery or performance has occurred. Our software applications are usually physically delivered to customers with standard transfer terms such as FOB shipping point. Software and/or software license keys for add-on orders or software updates are typically delivered via email. We recognize software revenue upon shipment to resellers and distributors because there is no right of return or refund and no price protection agreements. In situations where multiple copies of licenses are purchased, all copies are delivered to the customer in one shipment and revenue is recognized upon shipment. Occasionally, we enter into a site license with a customer that allows the customer to use a specified number of licenses within the organization. When a site license is sold, we deliver a master disk to the customer that allows the product to be installed on multiple servers. We have no further obligation to provide additional copies of the software or user manuals. Revenue on site licenses is recognized upon shipment of the master disk to the customer. Sales made by our Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) partners are recognized as revenue in the month the product is shipped. We estimate the revenue from a preliminary report received from the OEM shortly after the end of the month. Once the final report is received, the revenue is adjusted to that based on the final report, usually in the following month. Services revenue is recognized when the services are completed, except for customer support, which is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year.
     Fee is fixed or determinable. The fee customers pay for software applications, customer support and other professional services is negotiated at the outset of an arrangement. The fees are therefore considered to be fixed or determinable at the inception of the arrangement.
     Collection is probable. Probability of collection is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. Each new customer undergoes a credit review process to evaluate its financial position and ability to pay. If we determine from the outset of an arrangement that collection is not probable based upon the review process, revenue is recognized on a cash-collected basis.
     Our arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement does include an acceptance clause, revenue for such an arrangement is deferred and recognized upon acceptance. Acceptance occurs upon the earliest of receipt of a written customer acceptance, waiver of customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
Stock-Based Compensation
     We recognize stock option expense using the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123(R). We apply the fair value recognition provisions only to awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date of FAS 123(R) which was January 1, 2006. In accordance with FAS 123(R), stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value of stock option awards granted or modified after January 1, 2006. As we had used the minimum value method for valuing our stock options under FAS 123, all unmodified options granted prior to January 1, 2006 continue to be accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25.
     We account for stock option grants to non-employees in accordance with FAS No. 123(R) and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which require that the fair value of these instruments be recognized as an expense over the period in which the related services are rendered.
     The fair values of options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions:
                                 
    Three Months Ended September 30,   Nine Months Ended September 30,
    2008   2007   2008   2007
Expected Term
  7 years     7 years     7 years     7 years  
Volatility
    41.68 %     76.29 %     41.68% - 49.97 %     76.29 - 80.64 %
Risk free rate
    3.54 %     4.80 %     3.37% - 3.54 %     4.63% - 4.82 %
Dividend Yield

Income Taxes
     In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded a tax expense of $2.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively related to income generated during the periods using an effective tax rate currently expected to be in effect for the full year. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded a tax expense of $2.1 million and a tax benefit of $0.5 million, respectively.
     As of December 31, 2007, we had recorded a valuation allowance of $26,030 against net deferred tax assets, which are primarily comprised of net operating loss carryforwards as a result of operating losses incurred since inception. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing of which is uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation allowance.
     We analyze the carrying value of our deferred tax assets on a regular basis. In determining future taxable income, assumptions are made to forecast federal, state and international operating income, the reversal of temporary timing differences, and the implementation of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. The assumptions require significant judgment regarding the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with forecasts used to manage the business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, there was no reversal of the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient further positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.
     We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The application of this Interpretation requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we did not recognize any uncertain tax positions and we did not recognize any increase or decrease to reserves for uncertain tax positions.
     We have elected to record interest and penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 in the financial statements as income taxes. Any subsequent change in classification of FIN 48 interest and penalties will be treated as a change in accounting principle subject to the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
     During the development stages of our business, we incurred significant losses from operating activities. Since the three months ended June 30, 2005, however, our operations have generated sufficient cash flow to meet the cash requirements of our business, including our operating, capital and other cash requirements. Our ability to sustain a level of positive cash flow from operations that is sufficient to continue to meet all of our future operating, capital and other cash requirements is subject to the risks associated with our business, including those described under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008 and to changes in our business plan, capital structure and other events. While we expect that we will continue to grow our customers and sales, we may also be affected by macro-economic factors and the cautiousness or financial conditions of our customers.
     Until the three months ended June 30, 2005, we financed our operations primarily through the issuance of preferred stock and common stock. Since the three months ended June 30, 2005, we have primarily financed our operations through internally generated cash flows. In December 2006, we received $47.5 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering. As of September 30, 2008, we had cash and short term investments of $67.9 million and accounts receivable of $17.6 million.
     In January 2006, in connection with the settlement of an intellectual property dispute reached in December 2005, we paid $3.8 million to another company. We also agreed to make future payments of $0.5 million in each of January 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, which we collateralized by a $2.0 million letter of credit to that company the amount of which is reset on a annual basis. We have purchased and paid for $1.5 million of the company’s products during 2006, 2007 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 which reduced our obligation to them. Our letter of credit was reduced to $1.0 million in January 2008 and will be reduced to $0.5 million in January 2009. Our future obligations under the settlement will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that we purchase or resell the other company’s products.
     In May 2006, we paid $1.1 million to the former stockholders of Double-Take EMEA, which was our primary distributor in Europe, the Middle East and Africa as the initial payment for the acquisition of that company. Subsequent payments totaling $9.0 million have been made through September 30, 2008 with the final $0.3 million payment being made during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. A portion of the earn-out payments were held in escrow, to satisfy claims against the selling shareholders that we may have from time to time as a result of breaches of representations, warranties or covenants. The escrow was paid to the selling shareholder in the second quarter of 2008.

     In May 2008, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) that extended the term of the facility to April 29, 2009. Under the terms of the amended credit facility, our maximum borrowings are $2 million less the aggregate amounts undrawn on all outstanding letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts, or any other accommodations issued or incurred, or caused to be issued or incurred by the bank. Up to $0.5 million of the facility is available for foreign exchange contracts. The rate of interest for this facility is 0.75% above the prime rate. The facility is collateralized by all of our assets, excluding our intellectual property.
     At September 30, 2008, we had no borrowings under our existing $2.0 million credit facility with SVB. At September 30, 2008, there was a letter of credit relating to our settled legal proceeding (noted above) outstanding for $1.0 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
     Cash provided by operating activities increased by $4.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007 due to a decrease in accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to an increase in accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 substantially as a result of better collections in 2008. The change in accounts receivable was offset by greater decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Net income decreased by $6.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007. The decrease in net income was offset by add-backs to cash flow related to increased depreciation and amortization as a result of increased capital expenditures and amortization related to the technology related intangibles acquired in the acquisitions of Double-Take Canada on December 24, 2007 and emBoot on July 28, 2008, and increased stock option expense. Additionally, during the nine month ended September 30, 2007, we reduced the deferred tax asset allowance, but there was no similar reduction in the nine month ended September 30, 2008.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
     Cash used in investing activities decreased by $31.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007 primarily due to net maturities of short term investments offset by purchases of short term investments and the acquisition of emBoot on July 28, 2008.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
     Cash provided by financing activities decreased $5.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007 due to fewer stock option exercises and reduced excess tax benefits from stock based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 than in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of September 30, 2008, other than our operating leases, we do not have off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
     We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.
     Historically, our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates was limited as our international sales were denominated in the United States dollar. As a result of our acquisition of Double-Take EMEA in May 2006, Double-Take Canada in December 2007, and emBoot in July 2008, we now have international sales that are denominated in foreign currencies, and we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Depending on the amount of our revenue generated from Double-Take EMEA and Double-Take Canada (including emBoot), adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. Our primary exposures are to fluctuations in exchange rates for the United States dollar versus the Euro and Canadian dollar, as well as the Euro versus the British Pound. See “Foreign exchange (losses)” in Item 2 above. Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported revenue and could require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could also materially adversely affect our results of operations. We have not historically hedged exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and, as a result, we could incur unanticipated gains or losses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
     There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
          We currently have no material legal proceedings pending.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     An investment in our stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the Risk Factors section of our annual report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008, and all of the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K before deciding to invest in our common stock. The following risk factor is provided to supplement and update the Risk Factors set forth in our Form 10-K.

A continued downturn in the global economy could adversely impact our continued growth, results of operations and our ability to forecast future business.
In 2008, there has been a downturn in the global economy, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. There has also been increased volatility in foreign exchange markets. Our sales and results of operations may be impacted by these macro-economic factors. These factors make it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and they could cause customers to slow or defer spending on our products, which would delay and lengthen sales cycles, hurt our growth and negatively affect our results of operations. We cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide or in our industry.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
     None.
Use of Proceeds
     On December 14, 2006, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-136499) covering our initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC. We used approximately $10.2 million of the proceeds from our initial public offering to make payment of a special dividend to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in December 2006. Of the remaining proceeds from the offering, we used $9.9 million for the acquisition of emBoot, $0.5 million for the purchase of property and equipment, and $17.6 million for general corporate purposes during the three months ended September 30, 2008. We intend to use the remaining $9.4 million of the proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Our management has significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of the offering. Pending their use, we have invested the remaining proceeds of the offering in short-term, interest-bearing securities.
