Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs (generally, assumptions that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value based on the quality and reliability of the information provided by the inputs:

· Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

· Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means.

· Level 3 - Measured based on prices or valuation models using unobservable inputs to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available (i.e., where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability).

At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, all of the Company’s investments, other than the Company’s investments in auction rate securities, were recognized at fair value determined based upon observable input information provided by the Company’s pricing service vendors for identical or similar assets. For these investments, cost approximated fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not recognize any gains or losses on its investments other than those related to the Company’s investments in auction rate securities. See “Auction Rate Securities” below for further discussion on the valuation of the Company’s investments in auction rate securities.

The contractual maturities of investments held at September 30, 2011 are as follows:

AUCTION RATE SECURITIES

The Company’s investments in auction rate securities, carried at estimated fair values, were its only assets valued on the basis of Level 3 inputs. Auction rate securities are long-term debt instruments with variable interest rates that are designed to reset to prevailing market interest rates every 7 to 35 days through the auction process. The auction rate securities held by the Company are supported by student loans for which repayment is guaranteed either by the Federal Family Education Loan Program or insured by AMBAC Financial Group. AMBAC Financial Group commenced a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in November 2010, which may enable it to limit or avoid its obligations to provide insurance for repayment of the relevant securities. Before February 2008, due to the liquidity previously provided by the interest rate reset mechanism and the anticipated short-term nature of the Company’s investment, the auction rate securities were classified as short-term investments available-for-sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Beginning in February 2008, auctions for these securities failed to obtain sufficient bids to establish a clearing rate, and the securities were not saleable in auction, thereby no longer providing short-term liquidity. As a result, the auction rate securities have been classified as long-term investments available-for-sale as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 instead of being classified as short-term investments, as was the case before February 2008.

8

As of September 30, 2011, the Company updated its assessment as to whether it would likely recover the entire cost basis of each of the auction rate securities, and the extent to which the securities had incurred an other-than-temporary impairment. Determination of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. The primary factors that are considered in assessing the nature of the impairment include (a) the credit quality of the underlying security, (b) the extent to which and time period during which the fair value of each investment has been below cost, (c) the expected holding or recovery period for each investment, (d) the Company’s intent to hold each investment until recovery and likelihood that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery, and (e) the existence of any evidence of default by the issuer of the securities. The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to perform a valuation of its auction rate securities in conjunction with the Company's assessment as to whether any impairment was temporary rather than other-than-temporary. The valuation firm used a discounted cash flow model that considered various inputs including: (a) the coupon rate specified under the debt instruments, (b) the current credit ratings of the underlying issuers, (c) collateral characteristics, (d) discount rates, (e) severity of default and (f) probability that the securities will be sold at auction or through early redemption. The valuation firm used a mark to model approach to arrive at this valuation, which the Company reviewed and with which it agreed.

Based on its fair value assessments, the Company determined that its investments in auction rate securities as of September 30, 2011 were impaired by approximately $17.8 million as compared to an impairment of approximately $16.3 million as of June 30, 2011. Approximately $10.0 million of this impairment at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was deemed to be other-than-temporary. The fair value assessment also included an evaluation of the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment attributable to credit loss. The factors considered in making an evaluation of the amount attributable to credit loss included the following: (a) default probability and the likelihood of restructuring of the security, (b) payment structure of the security to determine how the expected underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to holders of the issuer’s securities and (c) performance indicators of the underlying assets in the trust (including default and delinquency rates). These assumptions are subject to change as the underlying market conditions change. Based on its evaluations, the Company determined that, consistent with the June 30, 2011 valuation, all of the cumulative other-than-temporary impairment losses of approximately $10.0 million as of September 30, 2011 were credit based.

The remaining cumulative impairment losses of approximately $7.8 million (approximately $4.8 million, net of tax) were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of September 30, 2011.

A reconciliation of changes in the fair value of auction rate securities, and the related unrealized losses were as follows:

(in thousands)	Cost		Temporary  Impairment Loss (1)			OTTI –  Non-Credit  Loss (1)		OTTI – Credit  Loss (2)			Fair Value
Balance, June 30, 2011	$	57,625	$	(6,280	)	$	0	$	(10,000	)	$	41,345
Changes in losses related to investments		0		(1,492	)		0		0			(1,492	)
Balance, September 30, 2011	$	57,625	$	(7,772	)	$	0	$	(10,000	)	$	39,853

(1) OTTI means “other-than-temporary impairment.” The amounts in this column are recorded, net of tax, in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity.

(2) The amounts in this column are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

A summary of redemptions and sales of auction rate securities were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,

9

The Company plans to continue to monitor its investments, including the liquidity of and creditworthiness of the issuers of its auction rate securities, on an ongoing basis for indications of further impairment and, if an impairment is identified, for proper classification of the impairment.  Based on the Company’s expected operating cash flows and sources of cash, the Company does not believe that any further reduction in the liquidity of its auction rate securities will have a material impact on its overall ability to meet its liquidity needs.

4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On July 1, 2011, the Company’s annual impairment analysis date, the Company adopted, in advance of the required adoption date, revised authoritative guidance on how an entity tests goodwill for impairment.  The new guidance allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test required under previous guidance.  Under the new guidance, the Company is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company determined, based on its assessment of qualitative factors as of July 1, 2011, that none of its reporting units met the “more likely than not” threshold requiring that the Company perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  Accordingly, the Company did not perform any further analysis.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company also completed its annual impairment tests on its indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 1, 2011.  Based on its annual impairment test results, the Company determined that an impairment loss existed for one of its subsidiary’s trademarks as of July 1, 2011 and recognized the associated impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million.

Subsequent to the annual impairment analysis date of July 1, 2011, there have been no events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair values of the Company’s reporting units below their respective carrying values.  Subsequent to July 1, 2011, there have not been any events or changes in circumstances indicating that it is more likely than not that indefinite-lived trademarks have been impaired.

5. CREDIT AGREEMENTS

The Company has two credit agreements (the “Credit Agreements”) that, through July 31, 2013, provide an aggregate $50.0 million multi-currency committed line of credit.  The lenders under the Credit Agreements are Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo N.A. and US Bank N.A. (“Lenders”).  The international facility is secured by 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s main operating Ireland subsidiary and 100% of the capital stock of all of the remaining major foreign subsidiaries.  The U.S. facility is secured by 100% of the capital stock of the Company’s major U.S. subsidiaries as well as inventory and receivables located in the U.S.

For borrowings in U.S. currency, the interest rate under the Credit Agreements is equal to the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or the prime rate.  For borrowings in foreign currencies, the interest rate is determined by a LIBOR-based formula, plus an additional margin of 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon the Company’s consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the immediately preceding four calendar quarters.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company is required to pay to the Lenders insignificant commitment fees on the unused portion of the line of credit.  The Credit Agreements also contain certain financial covenants and restrictions on the Company’s ability to assume additional debt, repurchase stock, sell subsidiaries or acquire companies.  In case of an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreements, including those not cured within any applicable cure period, the Lenders’ remedies include their ability to declare all outstanding loans, plus interest and other related amounts owed, to be immediately due and payable in full, and to pursue all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreements or under applicable law.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had no balances outstanding under the Credit Agreements and has applied approximately $0.5 million to guarantees.  A total of approximately $49.5 million was available for future borrowings as of September 30, 2011.

The Company also has a credit relationship with a European bank in the amount of EUR 1.0 million (approximately $1.3 million at the September 30, 2011 exchange rate).  Under the terms of this facility, the Company may borrow in the form of either a line of credit or term debt.  As of September 30, 2011, there were no balances outstanding on this credit facility, but approximately EUR 0.6 million (approximately $0.8 million at the September 30, 2011 exchange rate) of the credit facility has been used for guarantees.

10

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had borrowing capacity of approximately $50.0 million under all of the credit facilities described above.

6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The non-cash share-based compensation expenses included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2011			2010
Selling, general and administrative	$	2,659		$	2,484
Research and development		309			126
Cost of sales		37			35
Total non-cash share-based compensation expense		3,005			2,645
Income tax benefit		(943	)		(789	)
Total non-cash share-based compensation expense, net of tax benefit	$	2,062		$	1,856
Impact on diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$	0.03		$	0.02

No non-cash share-based compensation expense has been capitalized for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, as stock options were not granted to employees whose labor cost was capitalized as software development costs or inventory.

As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $20.1 million (net of estimated forfeitures) in non-cash share-based compensation related to non-vested awards, which is expected to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

7. NET INCOME PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MICROS SYSTEMS, INC. COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Basic net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders is computed by dividing net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders includes the dilutive effect of stock options.

A reconciliation of the net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2011		2010
Net income attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc.	$	37,232	$	31,617
Effect of noncontrolling interest put arrangement		0		30
Net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$	37,232	$	31,647
Average common shares outstanding		80,573		80,211
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options		1,837		1,812
Average common shares outstanding assuming dilution		82,410		82,023
Basic net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$	0.46	$	0.39
Diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$	0.45	$	0.39
Anti-dilutive weighted shares excluded from reconciliation		1,125		198

Results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include approximately $3.0 million ($2.1 million, net of tax) and $2.6 million ($1.9 million, net of tax), in non-cash share-based compensation expense, respectively.  These non-cash share-based compensation expenses reduced diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders by $0.03 and $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2011, the Company’s annual impairment analysis date, the Company adopted, in advance of the required adoption date, revised authoritative guidance on how an entity tests goodwill for impairment.  The new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test required under previous guidance.  Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  Based on its qualitative analysis as of July 1, 2011, the Company determined that none of its reporting units met the “more likely than not” threshold requiring that the Company perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  Accordingly, the Company did not perform any further analysis.

On July 1, 2011, the Company adopted authoritative guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of changes during a reporting period attributable to purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance requires that changes in other comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  It eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2012 and will require only presentation changes in the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements so that the requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards are the same.  The new guidance clarifies the FASB’s intent that the use of the highest-and-best-use concept in a fair value measurement is relevant only when measuring non-financial assets.  The new guidance also permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured on a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement.  Additionally, the new guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and describe the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs, as well as the interrelationships between those fair value measurements, if any.  The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012, and, other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is organized and operates in four operating segments:  U.S., Europe, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America regions.  The Company has identified U.S. as a separate reportable segment and has aggregated its three international operating segments into one reportable segment, international, as the three international operating segments share many similar economic characteristics.  Management views the U.S. and international segments separately in operating its business, although the products and services are similar for each segment.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Historically, all of the Company’s new business acquisitions have been incorporated into the existing operating segments, based on their respective geographic locations, and are subsequently operated and managed as part of the applicable operating segment.

A summary of certain financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments is set forth below:

10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the period from fiscal year 2002 through fiscal year 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to an aggregate of 16 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company has incurred an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million in fees related to all stock purchases.  As of September 30, 2011, approximately 2.4 million additional shares are available for purchases under the two most recent authorizations.

The following table summarizes the cumulative number of shares purchased under the purchase authorizations, all of which have been retired:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May 22, 2008, a jury returned verdicts totaling $7.5 million against the Company in the consolidated actions of Roth Cash Register v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al. and Shenango Systems Solutions v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al.  On December 30, 2010, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania issued an opinion reversing and remanding $4.5 million of the award and affirming $3.0 million of the award.  Both the Company and the plaintiffs filed motions seeking reconsideration of certain aspects of the appellate court decision, and, on April 1, 2011, the Superior Court denied all of the motions for reconsideration.  Subsequently, on April 13, 2011, the Company and one of the plaintiffs filed petitions with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court seeking the ability to appeal certain issues in the litigation.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has not yet ruled on either of the petitions.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company reserved an additional $3.0 million for any potential liability relating to these matters, which is included in its selling, general and administrative expenses.  The Company is recognizing interest expense related to the judgment as the amount payable will be subject to interest accruing at the statutory rate of 6% per annum.  There were no material developments with respect to that matter during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011.

13

The Company is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, and, subject to the outcome of the matter referenced above, the Company is of the opinion, based upon presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      We are a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer, marketer, and servicer of enterprise information solutions for the global hospitality and specialty retail industries.  Our enterprise solutions comprise three major areas: hotel information systems, restaurant information systems, and specialty retail information systems.  We also offer a wide range of related services.  We distribute our products and services directly and through a network of independent dealers and distributors.

We are organized and operate in four operating segments:  U.S., Europe, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America regions.  We have identified our U.S. operating segment as a separate reportable segment and we have aggregated our three international operating segments into one reportable segment, international, as the three international operating segments share many similar economic characteristics. Our management views the U.S. and international segments separately in operating our business, although the products and services are similar for each segment.

We have been adversely impacted by the current global economic uncertainty.  We believe that cautious consumer spending, coupled with difficulties in obtaining credit, may continue to negatively impact our customers’ abilities to acquire or open new hospitality and retail venues, and may also limit customers’ willingness and ability to make certain capital expenditures on new systems and system upgrades.  In light of these challenging and uncertain conditions, we continue to review certain discretionary expenses, and scrutinize carefully and cautiously the expansion of our workforce.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Examples of such forward-looking statements in this Quarter Report on Form 10-Q include the following:

· our statements regarding valuation of our investments in auction rate securities;

· our belief that any reduction in liquidity of auction rate securities will not have a material impact on our overall liquidity;

· our belief that, except as noted, existing legal claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position;

· our expectations regarding the effects of continued adverse economic conditions on our customers, our distributors, and our business generally.

· our expectations regarding effective tax rates in future periods;

· our statements regarding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations (in particular, the Euro and British Pound Sterling) on our financial performance;

· our expectations regarding the impact or lack of impact on our financial position and results of operations of the application of recently adopted accounting standards; and

· our expectations about the adequacy of our cash flows and our available borrowing capacity to meet our working capital needs, and our ability to raise additional funds if and when needed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue:

The following table provides information regarding sales mix by reportable segments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  The amounts are net of intersegment eliminations and are allocated to U.S. or International based on the location of the customers:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	U.S.				International				Total
(in thousands)	2011		2010		2011		2010		2011		2010
Hardware	$	21,503	$	22,272	$	26,906	$	21,994	$	48,409	$	44,266
Software		12,029		8,686		21,244		19,203		33,273		27,889
Service		80,625		84,884		94,251		76,375		174,876		161,259
Total Revenue	$	114,157	$	115,842	$	142,401	$	117,572	$	256,558	$	233,414

The following table provides information regarding the total sales mix as a percent of total revenue:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2011			2010
Hardware		18.9	%		19.0	%
Software		13.0	%		11.9	%
Service		68.1	%		69.1	%
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, total revenue was approximately $256.6 million, an increase of approximately $23.1 million, or 9.9% compared to the same period last year principally due to the following factors:

· Hardware, software and service revenue increased by 9.4%, 19.3% and 8.4%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.  We believe the increases were primarily due to an improvement in demand from our international customers as a result of a modest improvement in global economic conditions and favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for the Euro, Australian Dollar and Swiss Franc against the U.S. dollar, which positively impacted total revenue by approximately $7.6 million.

· The hardware revenue increase reflects an increase in sales of our Workstation products primarily to our international customer base.

· The increase in software revenue primarily reflects increases in our internally developed restaurant and retail software products.

· The increases also reflect additional revenue generated by companies that we acquired after the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 (all internationally based) and additional international service revenue generated from the continued expansion of our international customer base.

The international segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by approximately $24.8 million, an increase of 21.1% compared to the same period last year due to the following:

· Hardware, software and service revenue increased by 22.3%, 10.6% and 23.4%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.  We believe the increases were primarily due to an improvement in demand from our international customers as a result of a modest improvement in global economic conditions and favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for Euro, Australian Dollar and Swiss Franc against the U.S. dollar, which positively impacted total revenue by approximately $7.6 million.

· The hardware revenue increase reflects a 58% increase in sales of our Workstation products.

· The increase in software revenue primarily reflects increases in our internally developed restaurant and retail software products.

· The increases also reflect additional revenue generated by companies that we acquired after the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and additional service revenue generated from the continued expansion of our customer base.

15

U.S. segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased approximately $1.7 million, a decrease of 1.5% compared to the same period last year due to the following:

· Hardware and service revenue decreased by 3.5% and 5.0%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.  These decreases are primarily due to lower hardware sales and related implementation services to our retail customers.

· Software revenue increased by 38.5% compared to the same period last year primarily due to increases in sales of our internally developed restaurant and retail related software products.

Cost of Sales:

The following table provides information regarding our cost of sales:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2011					2010
(in thousands)	Cost of Sales		% of Related Revenue			Cost of Sales		% of Related Revenue
Hardware	$	30,163		62.3	%	$	29,955		67.7	%
Software		4,859		14.6	%		5,826		20.9	%
Service		77,120		44.1	%		71,213		44.2	%
Total Cost of Sales	$	112,142		43.7	%	$	106,994		45.8	%

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of sales as a percent of revenue were 43.7% and 45.8%, respectively.  Hardware cost of sales as a percent of related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 5.4% compared to the same period last year.  This decrease was primarily a result of an overall increase in margins on substantially all hardware product sales.  Additionally, we experienced a favorable mix of hardware sales in this period.  Sales of our Workstation products, our internally developed hardware products which have higher margins than our other hardware products, increased approximately 20% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period last year.  These positive factors were partially offset by an increase in freight costs.

Software cost of sales as a percent of related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased approximately 6.3% compared to the same period last year.  This decrease in software cost of sales was primarily the result of increases in sales of our internally developed restaurant and retail related software, which have higher margins than third party software which had lower sales in the period.

Service costs as a percent of related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were 44.1%, essentially equivalent to the 44.2% figure for the same period last year.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses:

SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were 29.4%, an increase of 1.7% compared to the same period last year.  This increase was primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses as compared to the same period last year.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses:

R&D expenses consisted primarily of labor costs less capitalized software development costs.  The following table provides information regarding our R&D expenses:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2011			2010
R&D labor and other costs	$	13,160		$	12,183
Capitalized software development costs		(1,825	)		(1,396	)
Total R&D expenses	$	11,335		$	10,787
% of Revenue		4.4	%		4.6	%

The increase in capitalized software development costs is primarily related to development of our next generation property management and retail related software.  The increase in total R&D expenses is primarily related to our recently acquired subsidiaries.

16

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses:

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $4.2 million, an approximately $0.1 million increase compared to the same period last year.

Share-Based Compensation Expenses:

The following table provides information regarding the allocation of non-cash share-based compensation expense across SG&A expenses, R&D expenses and cost of sales:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2011			2010
SG&A	$	2,659		$	2,484
R&D		309			126
Cost of sales		37			35
Total non-cash share-based compensation expense		3,005			2,645
Income tax benefit		(943	)		(789	)
Total non-cash share-based compensation expense, net of tax benefit	$	2,062		$	1,856
Impact on diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$	0.03		$	0.02

As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $20.1 million in non-cash share-based compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Non-operating Income:

Net non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $2.4 million compared to approximately $0.2 million for the same period last year.  The increase of approximately $2.1 million was primarily due to foreign currency exchange gains of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $0.9 million for the same period last year.  The increase was also attributable to an increase in interest income of approximately $0.8 million due to an overall higher interest earned on internationally held cash and cash equivalent and investment (short-term and long-term) balances and an increase in cash and cash equivalents and investment (short-term and long-term) balances aggregating approximately $98.0 million since September 30, 2010.

Income Tax Provisions:

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 33.0% and 32.7%, respectively.  The increase in tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to increases in uncertain tax positions and the earnings mix among jurisdictions.

Based on currently available information, we estimate that the fiscal year 2012 effective tax rate will be approximately between 31% and 32%.  We believe that due to earnings fluctuations, changes in the mix of earnings among jurisdictions, and the impact of certain discrete items recognized during the interim reporting periods, there may be some degree of adjustment to the effective tax rate on a quarterly basis.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2011, our annual impairment analysis date, we adopted, in advance of the required adoption date, the revised authoritative guidance on how an entity tests goodwill for impairment.  The new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test required under previous guidance.  Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  Based on our qualitative analysis as of July 1, 2011, we determined that none of our reporting units met the “more likely than not” threshold requiring that us to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  Therefore, we did not perform any further analysis.

17

On July 1, 2011, we adopted the FASB accounting guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of changes during a reporting period attributable to purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements).  The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on presentation of comprehensive income.  The new guidance requires that changes in other comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  It eliminates the option to present the components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.  The new guidance will be effective for us beginning in July 1, 2012 and requires only presentation changes in our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements so that the requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards are the same.  The new guidance clarifies the FASB’s intent that the use of the highest-and-best-use concept in a fair value measurement is relevant only when measuring non-financial assets.  The new guidance also permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured on a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement.  Additionally, the new guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and describe the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs, as well as the interrelationships between those fair value measurements, if any.  The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012, and, other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The following comprise the categories of critical accounting estimates that we used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:

·      Revenue recognition;

·      Allowance for doubtful accounts;

·      Inventory;

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows summary is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2011			2010
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	19,566		$	34,807
Investing activities		3,982			(12,251	)
Financing activities		(23,832	)		7,802

Operating activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased approximately $15.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was primarily due to certain unfavorable changes in working capital in comparison to the same period last year, including a longer collection period for international receivables and higher inventory levels.  These unfavorable changes were partially offset by an increase in net income of approximately $5.6 million.

Investing activities:

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $4.0 million, reflecting approximately $10.4 million in cash received from the sale of investments, net of cash used to purchase investments.  We used approximately $5.9 million to purchase property, plant and equipment, and to internally develop software to be licensed to others.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $12.3 million, reflecting approximately $7.7 million we used to purchase investments, net of cash received from the sale of investments (including approximately $2.8 million received from the redemption of one of our auction rate securities.)  We also used approximately $4.6 million to purchase property, plant and equipment, and to internally develop software to be licensed to others.

Financing activities:

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $23.8 million, reflecting approximately $25.4 million used to purchase our stock, partially offset by proceeds from stock option exercises of approximately $1.4 million and realized tax benefits from stock option exercises of approximately $0.3 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $7.8 million, principally reflecting proceeds from stock option exercises of approximately $7.7 million and realized tax benefits from stock option exercises of approximately $3.1 million, partially offset by debt repayment and our purchase of stock following exercise of a put option held by former owners of a business we acquired.

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balance of approximately $735.4 million at September 30, 2011 is a decrease of approximately $44.8 million from the June 30, 2011 balance and an increase of approximately $117.5 million from the September 30, 2010 balance.  At September 30, 2011, approximately $455.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balance is held internationally.  The Company currently has no plans to repatriate the funds to U.S. and plans to permanently reinvest internationally.  The favorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, substantially for the Euro against the U.S. dollar as compared to June 30, 2011 negatively affected our cash and cash equivalents’ balance at September 30, 2011 by approximately $28.4 million.  All cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are being retained for the operation and expansion of the business, as well as for the repurchase of our common stock.

19

We have two credit agreements (the “Credit Agreements”) that, through July 31, 2013, provide an aggregate $50.0 million multi-currency committed line of credit.  As of September 30, 2011, we had no balance outstanding under the Credit Agreements and had applied approximately $0.5 million to guarantees.  We also have a credit relationship with a European bank in the amount of EUR 1.0 million (approximately $1.3 million at the September 30, 2011 exchange rate).  As of September 30, 2011, there were no balances outstanding on this credit facility, but approximately EUR 0.6 million (approximately $0.8 million at the September 30, 2011 exchange rate) of the credit facility has been used for guarantees.  As of September 30, 2011, we had borrowing capacity of approximately $50.0 million under all of the credit facilities described above.  See Note 5 “Line of Credit,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further information about our credit facilities.

We do not currently invest in financial instruments designed to protect against interest rate fluctuations, although we will continue to evaluate the need to do so in the future.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash generated from operations and our available lines of credit are sufficient to provide our working capital needs for the foreseeable future.  Based on our expected operating cash flows and sources of cash, we do not believe that any further limitations on liquidity of our auction rate securities will have a material impact on our overall ability to meet our liquidity needs.  In light of current economic conditions generally and in light of the overall performance of the stock market in recent periods, we cannot assume that funds would be available from other sources if we were required to fund significant acquisitions or any unanticipated and substantial cash needs.  We currently anticipate that our property, plant and equipment expenditures for fiscal year 2012 will be approximately $17 million.

The following table provides information regarding certain financial indicators of our liquidity and capital resources:

(in thousands, except ratios)	September 30, 2011			June 30, 2011
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (1)	$	735,425		$	780,265
Available credit facilities	$	51,339		$	51,450
Outstanding credit facilities		0			0
Outstanding guarantees		(1,358	)		(1,410	)
Unused credit facilities	$	49,981		$	50,040
Working capital (2)	$	678,927		$	697,012
MICROS Systems, Inc.’s shareholders’ equity	$	988,488		$	1,016,711
Current ratio (3)		3.05			2.97

(1) Does not include approximately $39.9 million and $41.3 million invested in auction rate securities, classified as long-term investments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

(2) Current assets less current liabilities.

(3) Current assets divided by current liabilities.  The Company does not have any long-term debt.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Currency exchange rate risk

We recorded foreign sales, including exports from the United States, of approximately $142.4 million and $117.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to customers located primarily in Europe, Asia and Latin America.  See Note 9 “Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as well as Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) above for additional geographic data.

Our international business and presence expose us to certain risks, such as currency, interest rate and political risks.  With respect to currency risk, we transact business in different currencies primarily through our foreign subsidiaries.  The fluctuation of currencies impacts sales and profitability.  Frequently, sales and the costs associated with those sales are not denominated in the same currency.

We transacted business in 40 and 39 currencies in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The relative currency mix for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

20

	% of Reported Revenues Three Months Ended September 30,						Exchange Rates to U.S. Dollar as of September 30,
Revenues by currency (1):	2011			2010			2011		2010
United States Dollar		50	%		56	%		1.0000		1.0000
European Euro		23	%		19	%		1.3387		1.3634
British Pound Sterling		8	%		7	%		1.5588		1.5711
Australian Dollar		3	%		2	%		0.9664		0.9664
Swiss Franc		2	%		2	%		1.1011		1.0177
Singapore Dollar		1	%		1	%		0.7649		0.7604
Japanese Yen		1	%		1	%		0.0130		0.0120
Canadian Dollar		1	%		1	%		0.9525		0.9720
Sweden Krona		1	%		1	%		0.1455		0.1484
Mexican Peso		1	%		1	%		0.0719		0.0794
All Other Currencies (2)		9	%		9	%		0.1909		0.1944
Total		100	%		100	%

(1) Calculated using weighted average exchange rates for the fiscal period.

(2) The “% of Reported Revenue” for “All Other Currencies” is calculated based on the weighted average three month exchange rates for all other currencies. The “Exchange Rates to U.S. Dollar” for “All Other Currencies” represents the weighted average September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 exchange rates for the currencies.  Weighting is based on the three month fiscal period revenue for each country or region whose currency is included in the “All Other Currencies” category.  Revenues from each currency included in “All Other Currencies” were less than 1% of our total revenues for the period.

A 10% increase or decrease in the value of the Euro and British Pound Sterling in relation to the U.S. dollar in the three months ended September 30, 2011 would have affected our total revenues by approximately $7.8 million, or 3.1%.  The sensitivity analysis assumes a weighted average 10% change in the exchange rate during the period with all other variables being held constant.  This sensitivity analysis does not consider the effect of exchange rate changes on cost of sales, operating expenses, or income taxes, and accordingly, is not necessarily an indicator of the effect of potential exchange rate changes on our net income attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders.

Interest rate risk

Our committed lines of credit bear interest at a floating rate, which exposes us to interest rate risks.  We manage our exposure to this risk by minimizing, to the extent feasible, overall borrowing and by monitoring available financing alternatives.  At September 30, 2011, we had no borrowings and had not entered into any instruments to hedge the resulting exposure to interest-rate risk.  Our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates may change in the future with changes in the outstanding amount under the line of credit.  As we did not have any borrowings as of September 30, 2011, a 1% change in interest rate would have no impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of marketable securities, including auction rate securities, are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.  The market value of fixed interest rate securities may be adversely affected by a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.  Should interest rates fluctuate by 1%, the change in value of our marketable securities would not have been material as of September 30, 2011, but the change in our interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 would be an increase or decrease (depending on the nature of the fluctuation) of approximately $1.8 million based on the cash, cash equivalents and short term investment balances as of September 30, 2011.

To minimize our exposure to credit risk associated with financial instruments, we place our temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality institutions, generally with bond ratings of “A” and above.  However, see Note 3 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion regarding auction rate securities.

Finally, we are subject to, among others, those environmental and geopolitical risks, and economic, pricing, financial, and other risks described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for information regarding pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS.

In addition to other information presented in this report, including the risk factors set forth below, you should consider carefully the factors discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Economic conditions that are beyond our control, including the global recession, tightening of the credit markets, reductions in consumer spending, and fluctuations in exchange rates, may result in reduced demand for our products and services.

In addition, our primary customers – the hospitality, restaurant, and retail industries – are highly sensitive to economic, political, and environmental disturbances and uncertainty, all of which are not only outside of our and our customers’ control, but also are difficult to predict with any accuracy.

Further, weakened consumer spending, coupled with difficulties many businesses continue to encounter in obtaining credit, have negatively affected our customers’ operating results, which we believe may have an adverse impact on their ability to acquire or open new hospitality and retail venues, as well as their ability to make significant capital expenditures on the systems that we sell.  We believe these constraints may cause and in some cases may have already caused our customers to maintain their existing systems rather than purchase newer systems.

ITEM 2.      UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the period from fiscal year 2002 through fiscal year 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to an aggregate of 16 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be purchased from time to time depending on market conditions and other corporate considerations as determined by management.  The Company has incurred an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million in fees related to all stock purchases.  As of September 30, 2011, approximately 2.4 million additional shares are available for purchase under the two most recent authorizations.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, our stock purchases were as follows:

	As of September 30, 2011			As of June 30, 2011
(in thousands)		Amortized Cost Basis	Aggregate Fair Value		Amortized Cost Basis	Aggregate Fair Value
Time deposit – international		$  68,946	$  68,946		$  74,745	$  74,745

      Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  The following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs (generally, assumptions that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value based on the quality and reliability of the information provided by the inputs:

·Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

·Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means.

·Level 3 - Measured based on prices or valuation models using unobservable inputs to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available (i.e., where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability).

      The following table provides information regarding the financial assets accounted for at fair value and the type of inputs used to value the assets:

(in thousands)	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total

      At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, all of the Company's investments, other than the Company's investments in auction rate securities, were recognized at fair value determined based upon observable input information provided by the Company's pricing service vendors for identical or similar assets.  For these investments, cost approximated fair value.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not recognize any gains or losses on its investments other than those related to the Company's investments in auction rate securities.  See "Auction Rate Securities" below for further discussion on the valuation of the Company's investments in auction rate securities.

      The contractual maturities of investments held at September 30, 2011 are as follows:

(in thousands)	Amortized Cost Basis	Aggregate Fair Value
Due within one year	$ 102,875	$ 102,875
Due between 1 – 2 years	3,629	3,629

Total short-term and long-term investments	$ 164,129	$ 146,357

AUCTION RATE SECURITIES

      The Company's investments in auction rate securities, carried at estimated fair values, were its only assets valued on the basis of Level 3 inputs.  Auction rate securities are long-term debt instruments with variable interest rates that are designed to reset to prevailing market interest rates every 7 to 35 days through the auction process.  The auction rate securities held by the Company are supported by student loans for which repayment is guaranteed either by the Federal Family Education Loan Program or insured by AMBAC Financial Group.  AMBAC Financial Group commenced a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in November 2010, which may enable it to limit or avoid its obligations to provide insurance for repayment of the relevant securities.  Before February 2008, due to the liquidity previously provided by the interest rate reset mechanism and the anticipated short-term nature of the Company's investment, the auction rate securities were classified as short-term investments available-for-sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.  Beginning in February 2008, auctions for these securities failed to obtain sufficient bids to establish a clearing rate, and the securities were not saleable in auction, thereby no longer providing short-term liquidity.  As a result, the auction rate securities have been classified as long-term investments available-for-sale as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 instead of being classified as short-term investments, as was the case before February 2008.  

As of September 30, 2011, the Company updated its assessment as to whether it would likely recover the entire cost basis of each of the auction rate securities, and the extent to which the securities had incurred an other-than-temporary impairment. Determination of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary requires significant judgment.  The primary factors that are considered in assessing the nature of the impairment include (a) the credit quality of the underlying security, (b) the extent to which and time period during which the fair value of each investment has been below cost, (c) the expected holding or recovery period for each investment, (d) the Company's intent to hold each investment until recovery and likelihood that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery, and (e) the existence of any evidence of default by the issuer of the securities. The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to perform a valuation of its auction rate securities in conjunction with the Company's assessment as to whether any impairment was temporary rather than other-than-temporary. The valuation firm used a discounted cash flow model that considered various inputs including:  (a) the coupon rate specified under the debt instruments, (b) the current credit ratings of the underlying issuers, (c) collateral characteristics, (d) discount rates, (e) severity of default and (f) probability that the securities will be sold at auction or through early redemption.  The valuation firm used a mark to model approach to arrive at this valuation, which the Company reviewed and with which it agreed. 

      Based on its fair value assessments, the Company determined that its investments in auction rate securities as of September 30, 2011 were impaired by approximately $17.8 million as compared to an impairment of approximately $16.3 million as of June 30, 2011.  Approximately $10.0 million of this impairment at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was deemed to be other-than-temporary.  The fair value assessment also included an evaluation of the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment attributable to credit loss.  The factors considered in making an evaluation of the amount attributable to credit loss included the following:  (a) default probability and the likelihood of restructuring of the security, (b) payment structure of the security to determine how the expected underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to holders of the issuer's securities and (c) performance indicators of the underlying assets in the trust (including default and delinquency rates).  These assumptions are subject to change as the underlying market conditions change.  Based on its evaluations, the Company determined that, consistent with the June 30, 2011 valuation, all of the cumulative other-than-temporary impairment losses of approximately $10.0 million as of September 30, 2011 were credit based.

      The remaining cumulative impairment losses of approximately $7.8 million (approximately $4.8 million, net of tax) were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of September 30, 2011.

      A reconciliation of changes in the fair value of auction rate securities, and the related unrealized losses were as follows:

(in thousands)	Cost	Temporary Impairment Loss (1)	OTTI – Non-Credit Loss (1)	OTTI – Credit Loss (2)	Fair Value
Balance, June 30, 2011	$ 57,625	$ (6,280)	$      0	$ (10,000)	$ 41,345
Changes in losses related to investments	0	(1,492)	0	0	(1,492)
Balance, September 30, 2011	$ 57,625	$ (7,772)	$      0	$ (10,000)	$ 39,853

(1)OTTI means "other-than-temporary impairment." The amounts in this column are recorded, net of tax, in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders' equity.

(2)The amounts in this column are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

A summary of redemptions and sales of auction rate securities were as follows:

		Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2011		2010
Original cost, par value	$ 0		$ 3,000
Impairment losses previously recorded in: Accumulated other comprehensive income	0		(32)

Gain on redemption/sale	0	181
Reversal of impairment losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income	0	(32)
Gain from redemption/sale recorded in consolidated statement of operations	$ 0	$   149

      The Company plans to continue to monitor its investments, including the liquidity of and creditworthiness of the issuers of its auction rate securities, on an ongoing basis for indications of further impairment and, if an impairment is identified, for proper classification of the impairment.  Based on the Company's expected operating cash flows and sources of cash, the Company does not believe that any further reduction in the liquidity of its auction rate securities will have a material impact on its overall ability to meet its liquidity needs.

Recent Accounting Guidance [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Guidance

8.RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2011, the Company's annual impairment analysis date, the Company adopted, in advance of the required adoption date, revised authoritative guidance on how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test required under previous guidance. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on its qualitative analysis as of July 1, 2011, the Company determined that none of its reporting units met the "more likely than not" threshold requiring that the Company perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, the Company did not perform any further analysis.

      On July 1, 2011, the Company adopted authoritative guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of changes during a reporting period attributable to purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance requires that changes in other comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  It eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2012 and will require only presentation changes in the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements so that the requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards are the same.  The new guidance clarifies the FASB's intent that the use of the highest-and-best-use concept in a fair value measurement is relevant only when measuring non-financial assets. The new guidance also permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured on a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement.  Additionally, the new guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and describe the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs, as well as the interrelationships between those fair value measurements, if any. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012, and, other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Credit Agreements

5.CREDIT AGREEMENTS

The Company has two credit agreements (the "Credit Agreements") that, through July 31, 2013, provide an aggregate $50.0 million multi-currency committed line of credit.  The lenders under the Credit Agreements are Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo N.A. and US Bank N.A. ("Lenders").  The international facility is secured by 65% of the capital stock of the Company's main operating Ireland subsidiary and 100% of the capital stock of all of the remaining major foreign subsidiaries.  The U.S. facility is secured by 100% of the capital stock of the Company's major U.S. subsidiaries as well as inventory and receivables located in the U.S.

      For borrowings in U.S. currency, the interest rate under the Credit Agreements is equal to the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or the prime rate.  For borrowings in foreign currencies, the interest rate is determined by a LIBOR-based formula, plus an additional margin of 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon the Company's consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the immediately preceding four calendar quarters.  Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company is required to pay to the Lenders insignificant commitment fees on the unused portion of the line of credit.  The Credit Agreements also contain certain financial covenants and restrictions on the Company's ability to assume additional debt, repurchase stock, sell subsidiaries or acquire companies.  In case of an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreements, including those not cured within any applicable cure period, the Lenders' remedies include their ability to declare all outstanding loans, plus interest and other related amounts owed, to be immediately due and payable in full, and to pursue all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreements or under applicable law.

      As of September 30, 2011, the Company had no balances outstanding under the Credit Agreements and has applied approximately $0.5 million to guarantees.  A total of approximately $49.5 million was available for future borrowings as of September 30, 2011.

      The Company also has a credit relationship with a European bank in the amount of EUR 1.0 million (approximately $1.3 million at the September 30, 2011 exchange rate).  Under the terms of this facility, the Company may borrow in the form of either a line of credit or term debt.  As of September 30, 2011, there were no balances outstanding on this credit facility, but approximately EUR 0.6 million (approximately $0.8 million at the September 30, 2011 exchange rate) of the credit facility has been used for guarantees.

      As of September 30, 2011, the Company had borrowing capacity of approximately $50.0 million under all of the credit facilities described above.

      On July 1, 2011, the Company's annual impairment analysis date, the Company adopted, in advance of the required adoption date, revised authoritative guidance on how an entity tests goodwill for impairment.  The new guidance allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test required under previous guidance.  Under the new guidance, the Company is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company determined, based on its assessment of qualitative factors as of July 1, 2011, that none of its reporting units met the "more likely than not" threshold requiring that the Company perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  Accordingly, the Company did not perform any further analysis.

      During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company also completed its annual impairment tests on its indefinite-lived trademarks as of July 1, 2011.  Based on its annual impairment test results, the Company determined that an impairment loss existed for one of its subsidiary's trademarks as of July 1, 2011 and recognized the associated impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million.

      Subsequent to the annual impairment analysis date of July 1, 2011, there have been no events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair values of the Company's reporting units below their respective carrying values.  Subsequent to July 1, 2011, there have not been any events or changes in circumstances indicating that it is more likely than not that indefinite-lived trademarks have been impaired.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

9.SEGMENT INFORMATION

      The Company is organized and operates in four operating segments:  U.S., Europe, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America regions.  The Company has identified U.S. as a separate reportable segment and has aggregated its three international operating segments into one reportable segment, international, as the three international operating segments share many similar economic characteristics.  Management views the U.S. and international segments separately in operating its business, although the products and services are similar for each segment.  The Company's chief operating decision maker is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

      Historically, all of the Company's new business acquisitions have been incorporated into the existing operating segments, based on their respective geographic locations, and are subsequently operated and managed as part of the applicable operating segment. 

      A summary of certain financial information regarding the Company's reportable segments is set forth below:

Net Income Per Share Attributable To Micros Systems, Inc. Common Shareholders

7.Net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders

      Basic net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders is computed by dividing net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders includes the dilutive effect of stock options.

      A reconciliation of the net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2011	2010
Net income attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc.	$ 37,232	$ 31,617
Effect of noncontrolling interest put arrangement	0	30
Net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$ 37,232	$ 31,647
Average common shares outstanding	80,573	80,211
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options	1,837	1,812
Average common shares outstanding assuming dilution	82,410	82,023
Basic net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$     0.46	$     0.39
Diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders	$     0.45	$     0.39
Anti-dilutive weighted shares excluded from reconciliation	1,125	198

      Results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include approximately $3.0 million ($2.1 million, net of tax) and $2.6 million ($1.9 million, net of tax), in non-cash share-based compensation expense, respectively.  These non-cash share-based compensation expenses reduced diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common shareholders by $0.03 and $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

11.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      On May 22, 2008, a jury returned verdicts totaling $7.5 million against the Company in the consolidated actions of Roth Cash Register v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al. and Shenango Systems Solutions v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al.  On December 30, 2010, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania issued an opinion reversing and remanding $4.5 million of the award and affirming $3.0 million of the award.  Both the Company and the plaintiffs filed motions seeking reconsideration of certain aspects of the appellate court decision, and, on April 1, 2011, the Superior Court denied all of the motions for reconsideration.  Subsequently, on April 13, 2011, the Company and one of the plaintiffs filed petitions with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court seeking the ability to appeal certain issues in the litigation.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has not yet ruled on either of the petitions.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company reserved an additional $3.0 million for any potential liability relating to these matters, which is included in its selling, general and administrative expenses.  The Company is recognizing interest expense related to the judgment as the amount payable will be subject to interest accruing at the statutory rate of 6% per annum.  There were no material developments with respect to that matter during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. 

      The Company is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, and, subject to the outcome of the matter referenced above, the Company is of the opinion, based upon presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
