Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Table Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity or cost method, as appropriate. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures required to be included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, as well as the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Significant Accounting Policies

A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for employee stock compensation costs, which is referred to as the intrinsic value method. Since the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost is recognized for the Company’s stock option plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.”

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2. Recent Acquisitions

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Last year, the Company acquired two businesses, Kyrus Corporation (“Kyrus”) and Inter-American Data, Inc. (“IAD”).

Kyrus Corporation

Kyrus was acquired on September 30, 2003. The results of Kyrus’ operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since that date. Kyrus was an IBM Master Distributor and Premier Business Partner in retail sales solutions. The acquisition expands the Company’s operations to include a wide range of services and solutions, including hardware and software products and extensive professional services to customers in the retail industry. The purchase price was $29.6 million, offset by approximately $0.9 million of cash acquired, with approximately $26.6 million assigned to goodwill in fiscal 2004 based on the estimated fair vales of the net assets acquired.

During the six-months ended September 30, 2004, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation and made several adjustments to the fair value assigned to the net assets acquired. First, the Company recorded an additional $26,700 of costs that were directly associated with the Kyrus acquisition, resulting in an increase to goodwill. Second, the Company lowered the estimated fair value of certain liabilities assumed by approximately $0.3 million, resulting in a decrease to goodwill. Third, the Company recorded a liability of $1.2 million relating to state tax uncertainties existing at the date of acquisition, which increased goodwill.

Table of Contents

2. Recent Acquisitions – continued

The Company anticipates recording additional liabilities for similar tax uncertainties in the foreseeable future; however such liabilities cannot be estimated with sufficient probability at this time. Any incremental liability recorded by the Company for state tax uncertainties that existed at the date of acquisition will increase goodwill.

In addition to the above, the Company also identified approximately $1.9 million of intangible assets acquired reducing goodwill. Of the intangible assets acquired, $1.7 million was assigned to customer relationships, which is being amortized over five years using an accelerated method; $210,000 was assigned to non-competition agreements, which is being amortized over six years using the straight-line method; and $30,000 was assigned to developed technology, which is being amortized over eight years using the straight-line method. It is not anticipated that such assets will have significant residual values.

Inter-American Data, Inc.

Inter-American Data, Inc. was acquired on February 17, 2004 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The results of IAD’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since that date. IAD was a leading developer and provider of software and services to hotel casinos and major resorts in the United States. The acquisition provides significant opportunities for growth in the hospitality industry. The purchase price was $38.0 million, with approximately $35.7 million assigned to goodwill in fiscal 2004 based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the six-months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded an additional liability of $151,000 assumed in the acquisition, with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The liability related to one-time involuntary termination costs for employees of IAD whose job functions were terminated during the integration of IAD. Termination benefits are expected to continue through the current fiscal year.

The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including whether there were any identifiable intangible assets in the transaction. Based on the progress of the assessment, it is likely that certain intangible assets will be identified and a portion of the purchase price will be allocated to the fair value of such intangible assets. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to adjustment. The Company anticipates completing its assessment within 12 months of the date of acquisition.

3. Discontinued Operations

During fiscal 2003, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its Industrial Electronics Division (“IED”), which distributed semiconductors, interconnect, passive and electromechanical components, power supplies and embedded computer products in North America and Germany. In connection with the sale of IED, the Company discontinued the operations of Aprisa, Inc. (“Aprisa”), which was an internet-based start up corporation that created customized software for the electronic components market. The disposition of IED and discontinuance of Aprisa represented a disposal of a component of an entity as defined by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company continues to incur certain costs related to IED and Aprisa, which are reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as loss from discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

3. Discontinued Operations – continued

For the three-months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company realized a loss from discontinued operations of $96,122 (net of $64,602 in income taxes) and $0.3 million (net of $0.2 million in income taxes), respectively. For the six-months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company realized a loss from discontinued operations of $259,931 (net of $166,675 in income taxes) and $1.1 million (net of $0.6 million in income taxes), respectively.

The loss from discontinued operations for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004 includes the results from sale of a distribution facility and adjacent land. Proceeds from the facility and land sales were approximately $3.3 million, resulting in a loss on sale of $0.3 million.

4. Restructuring Charges

Continuing Operations

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, concurrent with the sale of IED, the Company announced it would restructure its remaining enterprise computer solutions business and facilities to reduce overhead and eliminate assets that were inconsistent with the Company’s strategic plan and were no longer required. In connection with this reorganization, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $20.7 million for the impairment of facilities and other assets no longer required as well as severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs for personnel whose employment was involuntarily terminated. The charges were classified as restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations.

Severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs were to be paid to approximately 110 personnel. Facilities costs represent the present value of qualifying exit costs, offset by an estimate for future sublease income for a vacant warehouse that represents excess capacity as a result of the sale of IED.

Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the restructuring liability:

4. Restructuring Charges – continued

Discontinued Operations

In connection with the sale of IED in fiscal 2003, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of $28.7 million. The significant components of the charge were as follows: $5.9 million related to severance and other employee benefit costs to be paid to approximately 525 employees previously employed by IED and not hired by the acquiring company; $5.0 million related to facilities costs for approximately 30 vacated locations no longer required as a result of the sale that were determined as the present value of qualifying exit costs offset by an estimate for future sublease income; and $17.4 million related to the write down of assets to fair value that were abandoned or classified as “held for sale,” as a result of the disposition and discontinuance of IED and Aprisa, respectively.

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets – continued

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company does not amortize goodwill; rather, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if conditions exist which indicate potential impairment. The Company uses a measurement date of February 1 for its annual impairment test of goodwill. As of February 1, 2004, which was the latest annual impairment test performed, the Company concluded that the fair value of its reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. As such, step two of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary and no impairment loss was recognized. As of September 30, 2004, the Company was not aware of any circumstances or events requiring an interim impairment test of goodwill.

Intangible Assets

Following is a summary of the Company’s intangible assets at September 30, 2004:

Amortization expense for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004 was $633,750. Estimated amortization expense for the entire fiscal year is approximately $1.0 million.

6. Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities

In 1998, Pioneer-Standard Financial Trust (the “Pioneer-Standard Trust”) issued 2,875,000 shares relating to $143.7 million of 6.75% Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”). The Pioneer-Standard Trust, a statutory business trust, is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, with its sole asset being $148.2 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Junior Convertible Subordinated Debentures of Agilysys, Inc. due March 31, 2028 (the “Trust Debentures”). The Company has executed a guarantee with regard to the Trust Preferred Securities. The guarantee, when taken together with the Company’s obligations under the Trust Debentures, the indenture pursuant to which the Trust Debentures were issued and the applicable trust document, provide a full and unconditional guarantee of the Pioneer-Standard Trust’s obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities are non-voting (except in limited circumstances), pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 6.75%, carry a liquidation value of $50 per share and are convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s Common Shares at any time prior to the close of business on March 31, 2028. As of March 31, 2004, the Trust Preferred Securities were redeemable at the option of the Company for a redemption price of 102.7% of par reduced annually by 0.675% to a minimum of $50 per Trust Preferred Security. The redemption price will be reduced to 100% of par by March 31, 2008.

6. Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities continued

No Trust Preferred Securities were repurchased during the six-months ended September 30, 2004. During the same period last year, the Company repurchased 365,000 Trust Preferred Securities for a cash purchase price of approximately $17.0 million. The repurchased securities had a face value of approximately $18.3 million. The difference between the face value and cash paid, offset by the expensing of related deferred financing fees, resulted in a net gain of $0.7 million.

As of September 30, 2004, a total of 366,500 Trust Preferred Securities have been redeemed by the Company.

7. Contingencies

The Company is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. The Company provides for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company’s future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

8. Comprehensive Income

The components of comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by sequencing each series of issues of potential common shares from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined as the lowest earnings (loss) per incremental share in the sequence of potential common shares.

For the three-months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, options on 0.6 million and 3.0 million shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in computing diluted earnings (loss) per share nor were 8.0 million and 8.0 million shares issuable upon conversion of the Trust Preferred Securities, respectively, because their effects were antidilutive.

For the six-months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, options on 1.7 million and 3.3 million shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in computing diluted earnings (loss) per share nor were 8.0 million and 8.1 million shares issuable upon conversion of the Trust Preferred Securities, respectively, because their effects were antidilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

AGILYSYS, INC.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Overview

Agilysys, Inc. (the “Company”) is one of the foremost distributors and premier resellers of enterprise computer technology solutions. The Company sells complex servers, software, storage and services to resellers and corporate customers across a diverse set of industries. The Company also provides customer-centric software applications and services focused on the retail and hospitality markets. As an integrator of server, storage, software and services needs, the Company is able to partner with its customers to become a single solutions provider for enterprise computing requirements.

Net sales grew by 24.5% and 31.2% for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The improvements in net sales were a continuation of first quarter results as the increase in information technology spending continued throughout the second quarter. In addition, the two business acquisitions made in fiscal 2004 have been successfully integrated into the Company’s business and have positively contributed to the overall increase in sales.

Net income increased to $3.7 million and $7.6 million for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared with a net loss of $3.4 million and $4.8 million for the comparable periods last year. The improvement in net income can be attributed to favorable market trends, continued efficiencies realized from recent restructuring efforts, lower interest expense resulting primarily from lower debt levels compared with last year and the lessening effects from the Company’s discontinued operations.

During the first half of fiscal 2005, the Company’s operating activities generated cash of $57 million. The favorable operating results experienced during the year have improved the Company’s financial flexibility to fund organic growth and to make acquisitions. Such results provide the ability to expand the number of customers and markets the Company serves, as well as the breadth of solutions offerings.

The following discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition is intended to provide information that will assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements, including key changes in financial statement components and the primary factors that accounted for those changes.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2004 increased $71.7 million, or 24.5%, compared with the same period last year. Sales generated from the Company’s two business acquisitions contributed $36.3 million, or approximately half of the overall increase. The two acquisitions were made on September 30, 2003 and February 17, 2004; thus, had not yet impacted prior year results. The remaining $35.4 million of the increase is predominantly attributed to higher sales from the Company’s distribution business. The Company experienced an increase in sales volume among principally all of its solutions offerings, reflecting the continuation of an improved information technology spending environment that has occurred over recent quarters.

The Company experienced the following sales increases by major product category when compared with the same period last year: hardware sales increased by approximately $49 million, or approximately 68% of the overall increase; software sales increased by approximately $13 million, or approximately 18% of the overall increase; services and other sales increased by approximately $10 million, or approximately 14% of the overall increase.

The increase in hardware sales is largely due to higher server and storage sales volume to small to medium-sized corporations through the Company’s distribution business. The increase in software sales was mainly due to higher sales of software through the Company’s distribution business as well as software sales generated from the two business acquisitions. The increase in service and other revenue was principally due to incremental solutions offerings from the two business acquisitions.

The Company anticipates net sales for the full year to increase approximately 20% to 25% compared with the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three-months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year 2005.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $13.6 million compared with the same period last year, caused primarily by higher sales volumes. In addition, the Company’s two business acquisitions added approximately $9.6

15


Table of Contents

million, or 20% of gross margin dollars reported in the quarter. Gross margin as a percent of net sales increased to 13.3% in the current quarter compared with 11.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The Company’s two business acquisitions had a favorable impact on gross margin percentage, accounting for all of the improvement compared with last year. Gross margin percentage, excluding business acquisitions, were comparable to prior year results.

A significant component of the Company’s gross margin is the realization and timing of incentive payments from its suppliers. Incentive programs are principally designed to reward sales performance and on average tend to rise as a percent of sales as the Company’s fiscal year progresses and it achieves predefined sales goals. The Company anticipates gross margin to be in the range of 12.8% to 13.1% of net sales for the entire fiscal year 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company experienced a $7.5 million increase in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses compared with last year. The increase was primarily related to the two acquisitions, which contributed approximately $7.1 million to the Company’s SG&A expenses in the current quarter. As a percentage of net sales, however, SG&A expenses remained consistent at 10.8% in the current and prior year periods. Restructuring activities to reduce certain overhead and other costs not in line with the Company’s strategic objectives have allowed the Company to maintain a consistent level of SG&A expenses despite increased sales and acquisition activity. SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately 9.5% of net sales for the entire fiscal year.

The 62.3% decrease in net interest expense is primarily attributable to lower average debt levels in the current quarter compared with prior year, as the interest rates applicable to the Company’s long-term debt are fixed. The Company’s average long-term debt was $59.6 million in the current quarter versus $116.8 million last year.

The Company repurchased $28.5 million of 9.5% Senior Notes in the second quarter last year for approximately $33 million. The premium paid in the repurchase, along with the write-off of deferred financing costs, resulted in the $3.4 million loss on the retirement of debt reported in the three-months ended September 30, 2004. No such repurchase occurred during the three-months ended September 30, 2004.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three-months ended September 30, 2004 was 37.6% versus 39.8% for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily reflects the recognition of State net operating loss carryforwards.

Net Sales

Net sales for the six-months ended September 30, 2004 increased $178.8 million, or 31.2%, compared with last year. Sales generated from the Company’s two business acquisitions contributed $74.8 million, or approximately 40% of the overall increase. The remaining $104.0 million of the increase is attributed to sales from the Company’s distribution business. Overall, the Company experienced an increase in sales volume among predominantly all of its solutions offerings, reflecting the continuation of an improved information technology spending environment that has occurred over recent quarters.

The Company experienced the following sales increases by major product category when compared with the same period last year: hardware sales increased approximately $130 million, or 73% of the overall increase; software sales increased approximately $29 million, or 16% of the overall increase; services and other revenue increased approximately $20 million, or 11% of the overall increase.

The increase in hardware sales is largely due to higher sales volume of IBM and HP server and storage devices. The increase in software sales was mainly due to higher sales volume of software through the Company’s distribution business as well as software sales generated from the two business acquisitions. The increase in service and other revenue was principally due to incremental solutions offerings from the two business acquisitions.

The Company anticipates net sales for the full year to increase approximately 20% to 25% compared with prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the results of operations for the six-months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year 2005.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $27.4 million compared with the same period last year. In addition, gross margin percentage increased to 12.9% versus 12.2% for the six-months ended September 30, 2003. The increase

17


Table of Contents

in gross margin is largely attributed to the increase in sales volume compared with the comparable period last year. The improvement in gross margin percentage is due to the Company’s two business acquisitions, which contributed approximately $19.4 million, or 20%, of gross margin dollars reported in the current year.

A significant component of the Company’s gross margin is the realization and timing of incentive payments from its suppliers. Incentive programs are principally designed to reward sales performance and on average tend to rise as a percent of sales as the Company’s fiscal year progresses and it achieves predefined sales goals. The Company anticipates gross margin to be in the range of 12.8% to 13.1% of net sales for the entire fiscal year 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company experienced a $14.8 million, or 23.4%, increase in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. The increase was directly related to the two acquisitions, which contributed $13.8 million to current year’s SG&A expenses. As a percentage of net sales, however, the Company’s SG&A expenses decreased to 10.4% compared with 11.1% for the same period last year. The improvement in this measure can largely be attributed to continued efficiencies gained from recent restructuring activities. SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately 9.5% of net sales for the entire fiscal year.

The Company’s average long-term debt was $59.6 million in the current year versus $116.8 million last year.

The Company repurchased $28.5 million of 9.5% Senior Notes and $18.3 million of Convertible Preferred Securities during the six-months ended September 30, 2003. The Senior Note repurchase resulted in a loss of $3.4 million and the repurchase of Convertible Preferred Securities resulted in a gain of $0.7 million, aggregating to a $2.6 million loss on retirement of debt reported for the six months ended September 30, 2003. No such repurchases occurred during the six-months ended September 30, 2004.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the six-months ended September 30, 2004 was 37.1% versus 39.8% for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily reflects the recognition of State net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital requirements, scheduled payments of principal and interest on indebtedness outstanding and capital expenditures. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand, available borrowings under its credit facility, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet its short and long-term liquidity requirements.

Total debt at September 30, 2004 was $185.4 million, compared with $185.2 million at March 31, 2004. The minor increase in the Company’s total debt reflects equipment acquisitions through capital leases made in the current year, offset by ongoing payment of capital lease obligations. The Company did not voluntarily repurchase Senior Notes or Convertible Preferred Securities during the six-months ended September 30, 2004. The Senior Notes and Convertible Preferred Securities are due in August 2006 and March 2028, respectively. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility at September 30, 2004, with unused availability of $100 million as of September 30, 2004. The Company was compliant with all quarterly financial covenants contained in its revolving credit facility and anticipates that it will continue to comply with such covenants in the foreseeable future.

The Company’s total debt consists primarily of Senior Notes and Convertible Preferred Securities. The principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding at September 30, 2004 was $59.4 million. The Senior Notes pay interest semi-annually at an annual rate of 9.5%. The indenture under which the Senior Notes were issued limits the creation of liens, sale and leaseback transactions, consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and indebtedness of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are subject to mandatory repurchase by the Company at the option of the holders in the event of a change in control of the Company.

The carrying value of Convertible Preferred Securities at September 30, 2004 was $125.4 million. The Convertible Preferred Securities are non-voting (except in limited circumstances), pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 6.75%, carry a liquidation value of $50 per share and are convertible into the Company’s common shares at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on March 31, 2028. The Convertible Preferred Securities are convertible into common shares at the rate of 3.1746 common shares for each Convertible Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.75 per common share).

The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement (“Revolver”), which provides the ability to borrow up to $100 million, limited to certain borrowing base calculations, and allows for increases under certain conditions up to $150 million during the life of the facility. Advances on the Revolver bear interest at various levels over LIBOR, and a facility fee is required, both of which are determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Revolver does not contain a pre-payment penalty. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver at September 30, 2004.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities improved $87.9 million during the six-months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase in operating cash flow is attributed to increased net earnings, improvements in customer payment patterns, and the timing of payments of accounts payable. Customer payment patterns have improved, in part, due to the Company’s focused initiatives in collection efforts as well as an increase in customers utilizing third-party financing which has resulted in shorter payment periods and, as a result, accounts receivable decreased approximately $44.9 million during the six-months ended September 30, 2004. Operating cash flow was also positively impacted by the timing of payments of accounts payable, as the balance of accounts payable increased $6.4 million versus the comparable period last year.

Cash Flow Used for Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities for the six-months ended September 30, 2004 was for capital expenditures. In the comparable period last year, cash used for investing activities included the acquisition of Kyrus Corporation for approximately $28.7 million (net of cash acquired) in addition to cash payments for capital expenditures. These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds of $3.3 million from the sale of the Company’s investment in Eurodis Electron PLC (“Eurodis”). The Company recognized a gain of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of its investment in Eurodis.

The estimated capital expenditures for the full 2005 fiscal year are expected to be approximately $2.0 million and primarily relate to information systems and facility projects.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

During the six-months ended September 30, 2004, the Company paid dividends of approximately $1.6 million. Dividend payments were offset primarily by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. During the six-months ended September 30, 2003, cash used for financing activities was mainly used for the repurchase of Convertible Preferred Securities for approximately $17.0 million, the repurchase of Senior Notes for approximately $33 million, and dividend payments of approximately $1.7 million.

Contractual Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations for long-term debt, capital leases and operating leases that were summarized in a table of contractual obligations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

year ended March 31, 2004 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations summarized in the table included in the Annual Report outside the ordinary course of business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards

A detailed description of the Company’s critical accounting policies as well as a description of recent accounting standards can be found in the Company’s Annual Report.

Forward-Looking Information

Portions of this report contain current management expectations, which may constitute forward-looking information. When used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and elsewhere throughout this Form 10-Q, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s current opinions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: competition, dependence on the IT market, softening in the computer network and platform market, rapidly changing technology and inventory obsolescence, dependence on key suppliers and supplier programs, risks and uncertainties involving acquisitions, instability in world financial markets, downward pressure on gross margins, the ability to meet financing obligations based on the impact of previously described factors and uneven patterns of quarterly sales.

The Company experiences a disproportionate percentage of quarterly sales in the last month of the fiscal quarters. This uneven sales pattern makes the prediction of revenues, earnings and working capital for each quarterly financial period difficult and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly results and financial condition. The Company believes that this sales pattern is industry-wide. Although the Company is unable to predict whether this uneven sales pattern will continue over the long term, the Company anticipates that this trend will remain the same in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of the Company’s Annual Report. There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk exposures since March 31, 2004.

The Exercise Price fixed at the time of grant will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. If a variable Exercise Price is specified at the time of grant, the Exercise Price may vary pursuant to a formula or other method established by the Committee which provides a floor not less than Fair Market Value as of the Date of Grant. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4 hereof, no subsequent amendment of an outstanding Stock Option may reduce the Exercise Price to less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. (b) Option Term. Any unexercised portion of a Stock Option granted hereunder shall expire at the end of the stated term of the Stock Option. The Committee shall determine the term of each Stock Option at the time of grant, which term shall not exceed ten years from the Date of Grant. The Committee may extend the term of a Stock Option, in its discretion, but not beyond the date immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the original Date of Grant. If a definite term is not specified by the Committee at the time of grant, then the term is deemed to be ten years. (c) Vesting. Stock Options, or portions thereof, are exercisable at such time or times as determined by the Committee in its discretion at or after grant. If the Committee provides that any Stock Option becomes Vested over a period of time, in full or in installments, the Committee may waive or accelerate such Vesting provisions at any time.

(Also see the Change in Control provisions in Article 11.) (d) Method of Exercise. Vested portions of any Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. The notice must be given by or on behalf of a person entitled to exercise the Stock Option, accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price, along with any required tax withholding pursuant to Section 15.3 hereof. Subject to the approval of the Committee, the Exercise Price may be paid: (i) in cash in any manner satisfactory to the Committee; (ii) by tendering (by either actual delivery of Shares or by attestation) previously-owned Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price applicable to such Stock Option exercise, and, with respect to the exercise of NQSOs, including Restricted Shares; (iii) by a combination of cash and Shares; (iv) by authorizing a broker to sell, on behalf of the participant, the appropriate number of Shares otherwise issuable to the participant upon the exercise of a Stock Option with the proceeds of sale applied to pay the Exercise Price and tax withholding, provided that the Company has implemented such a broker-handled same day sale program; or (v) by another method permitted by law which assures full and immediate payment of the Exercise Price. The Committee may withhold its approval for any method of payment for any reason, in its sole discretion, including but not limited to concerns that the proposed method of payment will result in adverse financial accounting treatment or adverse tax treatment for the Company. If the Exercise Price of a NQSO is paid by tendering Restricted Shares, then the Shares received upon the exercise will contain identical restrictions as the Restricted Shares so tendered. Except as otherwise provided by law and in the Committee's sole discretion, required tax withholding may be paid only by cash or through a same day sale transaction. (e) Issuance of Shares. The Company will issue or cause to be issued such Shares promptly upon exercise of the Option. No Shares will be issued until full payment has been made. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a Shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. (f) Form. Unless the grant of a Stock Option is designated at the time of grant as an ISO, it is deemed to be an NQSO. ISOs are also subject to the terms and conditions stated in Article 6 hereof. 5.3 Grant of Reload Options. If the Committee so provides in its discretion at or after grant, an optionee who exercises all or part of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by payment of the Exercise Price with previously owned Shares will be granted an additional Stock Option (a "Reload Option") for a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares tendered in the exercise of the original Stock Option. Each Reload Option will have a Date of Grant which is the date as of which the original Stock Option to which it applies is exercised and will become Vested on the six-month anniversary of the Date of Grant of the Reload Option. The Reload Option will have the same expiration and all other terms and conditions as the original Stock Option to which it applies, except that the Exercise Price will be equal to at least 100% of the Fair Market Value as of the Date of Grant of the Reload Option. 5.4 Termination of Grants Prior to Expiration. Unless otherwise provided in an employment or other agreement entered into between the optionee and the Company and approved by the Committee, either before or after the Date of Grant, or otherwise specified at or after the time of grant, and subject to Article 6 hereof with respect to ISOs, the following early termination provisions apply to all Stock Options: (a) Termination by Death. If an optionee's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates terminates by reason of his or her death, all Stock Options held by such optionee will immediately become Vested, but thereafter may only be exercised (by the legal representative of the optionee's estate, or by the legatee or heir of the optionee pursuant to a will or the laws of descent and distribution) for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such death, or until the expiration of the original term of the Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. (b) Termination by Reason of Disability. If an optionee's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates terminates by reason of his or her Disability, all Stock Options held by such optionee will immediately become Vested, but thereafter may only be exercised for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination of employment, or until the expiration of the original term of the Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. If the optionee dies within such one-year period (or such other period as applicable), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee will thereafter be exercisable by the legal representative of the optionee's estate, or by the legatee or heir of the optionee pursuant to a will or the laws of descent and distribution, for the greater of the remainder of the one-year period (or other period as applicable) or for a period of twelve months from the date of such death, but in no event shall any portion of the Stock Option be exercisable after its original stated expiration date. (c) Termination by Reason of Retirement. If an optionee's employment with the Company or its Affiliates terminates by reason of his or her Retirement, all Stock Options held by such optionee immediately become Vested but thereafter may only be exercised for a period of two years (or such other period as the Committee may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such Retirement, or until the expiration of the original term of the Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. If the optionee dies within such two-year period (or such other period as applicable), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee will thereafter be exercisable by the legal representative of the optionee's estate, or by the legatee or heir of the optionee pursuant to a will or the laws of descent and distribution, for the greater of the remainder of the two-year period (or such other period as applicable) or for a period of twelve months from the date of such death, but in no event shall any portion of the Stock Option be exercisable after its original stated expiration date. (d) Termination for Cause. If an optionee's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates is terminated for Cause, all Stock Options (or portions thereof) which have not been exercised, whether Vested or not, are automatically forfeited immediately upon termination. (e) Other Termination. If an optionee's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates terminates, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or for Cause, any Vested portions of Stock Options held by such optionee at the time of termination may be exercised by the optionee for a period of three months (or such other period as the Committee may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the original term of the Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. No portion of any Stock Option which is not Vested at the time of such termination will thereafter become Vested. ARTICLE 6 SPECIAL RULES APPLICABLE TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS 6.1 Eligibility. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, an ISO may only be granted to full or part-time employees (including officers and Directors who are also employees) of the Company or of an Affiliate, provided that the Affiliate is a Parent or Subsidiary. 6.2 Special ISO Rules. (a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price fixed at the time of grant will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. If a variable Exercise Price is specified at the time of grant, the Exercise Price may vary pursuant to a formula or other method established by the Committee which provides a floor not less than Fair Market Value as of the Date of Grant. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4 hereof, no subsequent amendment of an outstanding Stock Option may reduce the Exercise Price to less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. (b) Term. No ISO may be exercisable on or after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant, and no ISO may be granted under this Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of this Plan. (See Section 16.1 hereof.) (c) Ten Percent Shareholder. No grantee may receive an ISO under this Plan if such grantee, at the time the Award is granted, owns (after application of the rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code) equity securities possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of equity securities of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary, unless (i) the option price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the Date of Grant and (ii) such ISO is not exercisable on or after the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant. (d) Limitation on Grants. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined with respect to each ISO at the time such ISO is granted) of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a grantee during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan adopted by the Company or its Parent or its Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000. If such aggregate fair market value shall exceed $100,000, such number of ISOs as shall have an aggregate fair market value equal to the amount in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as NQSOs. (e) Non-Transferability. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no ISO granted hereunder (and, if applicable, related Stock Appreciation Right) may be transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, nor may such ISO (or related Stock Appreciation Right) be exercisable during a grantee's lifetime other than by him (or his guardian or legal representative to the extent permitted by applicable law). (f) Termination of Employment. No ISO may be exercised more than three months following termination of employment for any reason (including Retirement) other than death or disability, nor more than one year following termination of employment for the reason of death or disability (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), or such option will no longer qualify as an ISO and shall thereafter be, and receive the tax treatment applicable to, an NQSO. For this purpose, a termination of employment is cessation of employment with the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary. (g) Fair Market Value. For purposes of any ISO granted hereunder (or, if applicable, related Stock Appreciation Right), the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined in the manner required by Section 422 of the Code. 6.3 Subject to Code Amendments. The foregoing limitations are designed to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and shall be automatically amended or modified to comply with amendments or modifications to Section 422 or any successor provisions. Any ISO which fails to comply with Section 422 of the Code is automatically treated as a NQSO appropriately granted under this Plan provided it otherwise meets the Plan's requirements for NQSOs. ARTICLE 7 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 7.1 SAR Grant and Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under this Plan, either independently or in conjunction with the grant of a Stock Option. Each SAR granted under this Plan (or delegation of authority to the Chief Executive Officer to grant SARs) will be evidenced by minutes of a meeting, or by a unanimous written consent without a meeting, of the Committee and by a written agreement dated as of the Date of Grant and executed by the Company and by the Plan participant. 7.2 SARs Granted in Conjunction with Option. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under this Plan, either at the same time or after the grant of the Stock Option, and will be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) Term. Each Stock Appreciation Right, or applicable portion thereof, granted with respect to a given Stock Option or portion thereof terminates and is no longer exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option, or applicable portion thereof. (b) Exercisability. A Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Option to which it relates is Vested and exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof or otherwise as the Committee may determine at or after the time of grant. (c) Method of Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the surrender of the applicable portion of the related Stock Option. Stock Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, are no longer exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised and are deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Article 3 hereof on the number of Shares to be issued under this Plan, but only to the extent of the number of Shares actually issued under the Stock Appreciation Right at the time of exercise. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, subject to satisfaction of tax withholding requirements pursuant to Section 15.3, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right is entitled to receive up to, but not more than, an amount in cash or Shares equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share over the Exercise Price per Share specified in the related Stock Option, multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, with the Committee having the right in its discretion to determine the form of payment. At any time the Exercise Price per Share of the related Stock Option does not exceed the Fair Market Value of one Share, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right shall not be permitted to exercise such right. 7.3 Independent SARs. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted without related Stock Options, and independent Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) Term. Any unexercised portion of an independent Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall expire at the end of the stated term of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee shall determine the term of each Stock Appreciation Right at the time of grant, which term shall not exceed ten years from the Date of Grant. The Committee may extend the term of a Stock Appreciation Right, in its discretion, but not beyond the date immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the original Date of Grant. If a definite term is not specified by the Committee at the time of grant, then the term is deemed to be ten years. (b) Exercisability. A Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable, in whole or in part, at such time or times as determined by the Committee at or after the time of grant. (c) Method of Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part during the term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. The notice must be given by or on behalf of a person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, subject to satisfaction of tax withholding requirements pursuant to Section 15.3, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right is entitled to receive an amount in cash or Shares equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date over the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant multiplied by the number of Stock Appreciation Rights being exercised, with the Committee having the right in its discretion to determine the form of payment. At any time the Fair Market Value of a Share on a proposed exercise date does not exceed the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right shall not be permitted to exercise such right. (d) Early Termination Prior to Expiration. Unless otherwise provided in an employment or other agreement entered into between the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right and the Company and approved by the Committee, either before or after the Date of Grant, or otherwise specified at or after the Date of Grant, the early termination provisions set forth in Section 5.4 as applied to Non-Qualified Stock Options will apply to independent Stock Appreciation Rights. 7.4 Other Terms and Conditions of SAR Grants. Stock Appreciation Rights are subject to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan and any operative employment or other agreement, as are determined from time to time by the Committee. ARTICLE 8 RESTRICTED SHARE AND RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARDS 8.1 Restricted Share Grants and Agreements. Restricted Share Awards consist of Shares which are issued by the Company to a participant at no cost or at a purchase price determined by the Committee which may be below their Fair Market Value but which are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the participant. Each Restricted Share Award granted under this Plan (or delegation of authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make Restricted Share Awards) will be evidenced by minutes of a meeting, or by a unanimous written consent without a meeting, of the Committee and by a written agreement dated as of the Date of Grant and executed by the Company and by the Plan participant. The timing of Restricted Share Awards and the number of Shares to be issued (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) are to be determined by the Committee in its discretion. By accepting a grant of Restricted Shares, the participant agrees to remit to the Company when due any required tax withholding as provided in Section 15.3 hereof. 8.2 Terms and Conditions of Restricted Share Grants. Restricted Shares granted under this Plan are subject to the following terms and conditions, which, except as otherwise provided herein, need not be the same for each participant, and may contain such additional terms, conditions, restrictions and contingencies not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan and any operative employment or other agreement, as the Committee deems desirable: (a) Purchase Price. The Committee shall determine the prices, if any, at which Restricted Shares are to be issued to a participant, which may vary from time to time and among participants and which may be below the Fair Market Value of such Shares at the Date of Grant. (b) Restrictions. All Restricted Shares issued under this Plan will be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may determine, which may include, without limitation, the following: (i) a prohibition against the sale, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the Restricted Shares, such prohibition to lapse at such time or times as the Committee determines (whether in installments, at the time of the death, Disability or Retirement of the holder of such shares, or otherwise, but subject to the Change in Control provisions in Article 11); (ii) a requirement that the participant forfeit such Restricted Shares in the event of termination of the participant's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates prior to Vesting; (iii) a prohibition against employment or retention of the participant by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates, or against dissemination by the participant of any secret or confidential information belonging to the Company or an Affiliate; and (iv) any applicable requirements arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other securities laws, the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange or transaction reporting system upon which such Restricted Shares are then listed or quoted and any state laws, rules and regulations, including "blue sky" laws. The Committee may at any time waive such restrictions or accelerate the date or dates on which the restrictions will lapse. However, if the Committee determines that restrictions lapse upon the attainment of specified performance objectives, then the provisions of Sections 9.2 and 9.3 will apply (including, but not limited to, the enumerated performance objectives). If the written agreement governing an award provides that such Award is intended to be "performance-based compensation," the provisions of Section 9.4(d) will also apply. (c) Delivery of Shares. Restricted Shares will be registered in the name of the participant and deposited, together with a Stock Power, with the Company. Each such certificate will bear a legend in substantially the following form: "The transferability of this certificate and the Common Shares represented by it are subject to the terms and conditions (including conditions of forfeiture) contained in the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan of the Company, and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Company. A copy of this Plan and agreement are on file in the office of the Secretary of the Company." At the end of any time period during which the Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, such Shares will be delivered free of all restrictions (except for any pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof) to the participant and with the foregoing legend removed. (d) Forfeiture of Shares. If a participant who holds Restricted Shares fails to satisfy the restrictions, Vesting requirements and other conditions relating to the Restricted Shares prior to the lapse, satisfaction or waiver of such restrictions and conditions, except as may otherwise be determined by the Committee, the participant shall forfeit the Shares and transfer them back to the Company in exchange for a refund of any consideration paid by the participant or such other amount which may be specifically set forth in the Award agreement. A participant shall execute and deliver to the Company one or more Stock Powers with respect to Restricted Shares granted to such participant. (e) Voting and Other Rights. Except to the extent prohibited by Section 162(m) of the Code and the terms of the applicable Restricted Share Agreement, during any period in which Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, the participant holding such Restricted Shares shall have all the rights of a Shareholder with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive any dividends paid with respect to such Shares. 8.3 Restricted Share Unit Awards and Agreements. Restricted Share Unit Awards consist of Shares that will be issued to a participant at a future time or times at no cost or at a purchase price determined by the Committee which may be below their Fair Market Value if continued employment, continued directorship and/or other terms and conditions specified by the Committee are satisfied. Each Restricted Share Unit Award granted under this Plan (or delegation of authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make Restricted Share Unit Awards) will be evidenced by minutes of a meeting, or by a unanimous written consent without a meeting, of the Committee and by a written agreement dated as of the Date of Grant and executed by the Company and the Plan participant. The timing of Restricted Share Unit Awards and the number of Restricted Share Units to be awarded (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) are to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. By accepting a Restricted Share Unit Award, the participant agrees to remit to the Company when due any required tax withholding as provided in Section 15.3 hereof. 8.4 Terms and Conditions of Restricted Share Unit Awards. Restricted Share Unit Awards are subject to the following terms and conditions, which, except as otherwise provided herein, need not be the same for each participant, and may contain such additional terms, conditions, restrictions and contingencies not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan and any operative employment or other agreement, as the Committee deems desirable: (a) Purchase Price. The Committee shall determine the prices, if any, at which Shares are to be issued to a participant after Vesting of Restricted Stock Units, which may vary from time to time and among participants and which may be below the Fair Market Value of Shares at the Date of Grant. (b) Restrictions. All Restricted Share Units awarded under this Plan will be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may determine, which may include, without limitation, the following: (i) a prohibition against the sale, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the Restricted Share Unit; (ii) a requirement that the participant forfeit such Restricted Share Unit in the event of termination of the participant's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates prior to Vesting; (iii) a prohibition against employment of the participant by, or provision of services by the participant to, any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates, or against dissemination by the participant of any secret or confidential information belonging to the Company or an Affiliate; and (iv) any applicable requirements arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other securities laws, the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted and any state laws, rules and interpretations, including "blue sky" laws. The Committee may at any time waive such restrictions or accelerate the date or dates on which the restrictions will lapse. (c) Performance-Based Restrictions. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide restrictions that lapse upon the attainment of specified performance objectives. In such case, the provisions of Sections 9.2 and 9.3 will apply (including, but not limited to, the enumerated performance objectives). If the written agreement governing an Award provides that such Award is intended to be "performance-based compensation," the provisions of Section 9.4(d) will also apply. (d) Voting and Other Rights. A participant holding Restricted Share Units shall not be deemed to be a Shareholder solely because of such units. Such participant shall have no rights of a Shareholder with respect to such units. (e) Lapse of Restrictions. If a participant who holds Restricted Share Units satisfies the restrictions and other conditions relating to the Restricted Share Units prior to the lapse or waiver of such restrictions and conditions, the Restricted Share Units shall be converted to, or replaced with, Shares which are free of all restrictions except for any pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in lieu of the conversion and distribution of the Restricted Share Units, establish procedures to permit deferral of Restricted Stock Units of participants who are highly compensated employees or members of a select group of management in accordance with the terms of a deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Company. (f) Forfeiture of Restricted Share Units. If a participant who holds Restricted Share Units fails to satisfy the restrictions, Vesting requirements and other conditions relating to the Restricted Share Units prior to the lapse, satisfaction or waiver of such restrictions and conditions, except as may otherwise be determined by the Committee, the participant shall forfeit the Restricted Share Units. (g) Termination. A Restricted Stock Unit Award or unearned portion thereof will terminate without the issuance of Shares on the termination date specified on the Date of Grant or upon the termination of employment or directorship of the participant during the time period or periods specified by the Committee during which any performance objectives must be met (the "Performance Period"). If a participant's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates terminates by reason of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, the Committee in its discretion at or after the Date of Grant may determine that the participant (or the heir, legatee or legal representative of the participant's estate) will receive a distribution of Shares in an amount which is not more than the number of Shares which would have been earned by the participant if 100% of the performance objectives for the current Performance Period had been achieved prorated based on the ratio of the number of months of active employment in the Performance Period to the total number of months in the Performance Period. However, with respect to Awards intended to be performance-based compensation (as described in Section 9.4(d)), distribution of the Shares shall not be made prior to attainment of the relevant performance objectives. 8.5 Time Vesting of Restricted Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards. Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units, or portions thereof, are exercisable at such time or times as determined by the Committee in its discretion at or after grant, subject to the restrictions on time Vesting set forth in this Section. If the Committee provides that any Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Unit Awards become Vested over time (with or without a performance component), the Committee may waive or accelerate such Vesting provisions at any time, subject to the restrictions on time Vesting set forth in this Section. Subject to the acceleration of Vesting due to satisfaction of performance criteria or the occurrence of stated events (specifically including a Change in Control), a Restricted Share or Restricted Share Unit Award with a Date of Grant on or after July 28, 2004 shall not Vest more rapidly than in three installments (as equal as possible to the whole Share) on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant; provided that for convenience the Committee may provide that Awards made in a fiscal year Vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the first day of the fiscal year in which the Date of Grant occurs. ARTICLE 9 PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS 9.1 Performance Share Awards and Agreements. A Performance Share Award is a right to receive Shares in the future conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objectives and such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee may determine. Each Performance Share Award granted under this Plan (or delegation of authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make Performance Share Awards) will be evidenced by minutes of a meeting, or by a unanimous written consent without a meeting, of the Committee and by a written agreement dated as of the Date of Grant and executed by the Company and by the Plan participant. The timing of Performance Share Awards and the number of Shares covered by each Award (subject to Section 3.2 hereof) are to be determined by the Committee in its discretion. By accepting a grant of Performance Shares, the participant agrees to remit to the Company when due any required tax withholding as provided in Section 15.3 hereof. 9.2 Performance Objectives. At the time of grant of a Performance Share Award, the Committee will specify the performance objectives which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Shares that will be distributed to the participant. The Committee will also specify the time period or periods (the "Performance Period") during which the performance objectives must be met. The performance objectives and periods need not be the same for each participant nor for each Award. The Committee may use performance objectives based on one or more of the following targets: cash generation, profit, revenue, market share, profit or return ratios, Shareholder returns and/or specific, objective and measurable non-financial objectives. The Committee may designate a single goal criterion or multiple goal criteria for performance measurement purposes, with the measurement based on absolute Company or business unit performance and/or on performance as compared with that of other publicly-traded companies. 9.3 Adjustment of Performance Objectives. The Committee may modify, amend or otherwise adjust the performance objectives specified for outstanding Performance Share Awards if it determines that an adjustment would be consistent with the objectives of this Plan and taking into account the interests of the participants and the public Shareholders of the Company. Any such adjustments must comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent applicable unless the Committee indicates a contrary intention. The types of events which could cause an adjustment in the performance objectives include, without limitation, accounting changes which substantially affect the determination of performance objectives, changes in applicable laws or regulations which affect the performance objectives, and divisive corporate reorganizations, including spin-offs and other distributions of property or stock. 9.4 Other Terms and Conditions. Performance Share Awards granted under this Plan are subject to the following terms and conditions and may contain such additional terms, conditions, restrictions and contingencies not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan and any operative employment or other agreement as the Committee deems desirable: (a) Delivery of Shares. As soon as practicable after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the participant will receive a distribution of the number of Shares earned during the Performance Period, depending upon the extent to which the applicable performance objectives were achieved. Such Shares will be registered in the name of the participant and will be free of all restrictions except for any pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof. (b) Termination. A Performance Share Award or unearned portion thereof will terminate without the issuance of Shares on the termination date specified at the time of grant or upon the termination of employment or directorship of the participant during the Performance Period. If a participant's employment or directorship with the Company or its Affiliates terminates by reason of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, the Committee in its discretion at or after the time of grant may determine, notwithstanding any Vesting requirements under Section 9.4(a), that the participant (or the heir, legatee or legal representative of the participant's estate) will receive a distribution of a portion of the participant's then-outstanding Performance Share Awards in an amount which is not more than the number of shares which would have been earned by the participant if 100% of the performance objectives for the current Performance Period had been achieved prorated based on the ratio of the number of months of active employment in the Performance Period to the total number of months in the Performance Period. However, with respect to Awards intended to be "performance-based compensation" (as described in Section 9.4(e), distribution of the Shares shall not be made prior to attainment of the relevant performance objective. (c) Voting and Other Rights. Awards of Performance Shares do not provide the participant with voting rights or rights to dividends prior to the participant becoming the holder of record of Shares issued pursuant to an Award. Prior to the issuance of Shares, Performance Share Awards may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered. (d) Performance-Based Compensation. Performance Share Awards are generally designed to be "remuneration payable solely on account of the attainment of one or more performance goals" as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and shall be automatically amended or modified to comply with amendments to Section 162 of the Code to the extent applicable, unless the Committee indicates a contrary intention. 9.5 Time Vesting of Performance Share Awards. Performance Share Awards, or portions thereof, are exercisable at such time or times as determined by the Committee in its discretion at or after grant, subject to the restrictions on time Vesting set forth in this Section. If the Committee provides that any Performance Shares become Vested over time (accelerated by a performance component), the Committee may waive or accelerate such Vesting provisions at any time, subject to the restrictions on time Vesting set forth in this Section. Subject to the acceleration of Vesting due to satisfaction of performance criteria or the occurrence of stated events (specifically including a Change in Control), a Performance Share Unit Award with a Date of Grant on or after July 28, 2004 shall not Vest more rapidly than in three installments (as equal as possible to the whole Share) on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant; provided that for convenience the Committee may provide that Awards made in a fiscal year Vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the first day of the fiscal year in which the Date of Grant occurs. ARTICLE 10 TRANSFERS AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE 10.1 Transfer of Participant. For purposes of this Plan, except as provided in Section 6.2(f) with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the transfer of a participant among the Company and its Affiliates is deemed not to be a termination of employment. 10.2 Effect of Leaves of Absence. For purposes of this Plan, the following leaves of absence are deemed not to be a termination of employment: (a) a leave of absence, approved in writing by the Company, for military service, sickness or any other purpose approved by the Company, if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (b) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, approved in writing by the Company, but only if the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract, and provided that, in the case of any such leave of absence, the employee returns to work within 30 days after the end of such leave; and (c) any other absence determined by the Committee in its discretion not to constitute a break in service. ARTICLE 11 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL 11.1 Change in Control Defined. "Change in Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: (a) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold or transferred to another corporation or entity, or the Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized with or into another corporation or entity, with the result that upon conclusion of the transaction less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors ("Voting Stock") or other capital interests of the acquiring corporation or entity are owned, directly or indirectly, by the holders of Voting Stock of the Company generally prior to the transaction; (b) there is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report), each as promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing that any person (as the term "person" is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), excluding the Company, any Affiliate, any employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate, including the trustee of any such plan, or The Agilysys Benefit Trust) has become the beneficial owner (as the term "beneficial owner" is defined under Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock of the Company; (c) the Company shall file a report or proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in response to Item 1 of Form 8-K thereunder or Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A thereunder (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a change in control of the Company has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to any then-existing contract or transaction; or (d) the individuals who, at the beginning of any period of two (2) consecutive calendar years, constituted the Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the nomination for election by the Company's Shareholders of each new Director of the Company was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors of the Company still in office who were Directors of the Company at the beginning of any such period. 11.2 Acceleration of Award. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or an Award agreement, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control: (a) all outstanding Stock Options automatically become fully exercisable; (b) all Restricted Share Awards automatically become fully Vested; (c) all Restricted Share Unit Awards automatically become fully Vested (or, if such Restricted Share Unit Awards are subject to performance-based restrictions, shall become Vested on a prorated basis as described in Section 11.2(d)) and, to the extent Vested, convertible to Shares at the election of the holder; and (d) all participants holding Performance Share Awards become entitled to receive a partial payout in an amount which is the number of Shares which would have been earned by the participant if 100% of the performance objectives for the current Performance Period had been achieved prorated based on the ratio of the number of months of active employment in the Performance Period to the total number of months in the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee will retain the right to revoke the automatic acceleration of Vesting in connection with any business combination if the acceleration will cause the use of pooling of interests accounting to be disallowed and such accounting is determined to be in the best interests of the company. ARTICLE 12 TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS 12.1 Awards Deemed Non-Transferable. Other than as permitted pursuant to Section 12.2, Awards are non-transferable. Other than as permitted pursuant to Section 12.2, Awards may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Other than as permitted pursuant to Section 12.2, Awards are exercisable during a participant's lifetime only by the participant or, as permitted by applicable law, the participant's guardian or other legal representative. Other than as permitted pursuant to Section 12.2, no Award may be assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise alienated or encumbered (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and any attempts to do so are null and void. 12.2 Limited Transferability of Certain Awards. The Committee, in its discretion, may allow at or after the time of grant the transferability of Awards which are Vested, provided that the permitted transfer is made (a) pursuant to a QDRO or other applicable domestic relations order to the extent permitted by law; (b) if the Award is an Incentive Stock Option, the transfer is consistent with Section 422 of the Code; (c) to the Company (for example in the case of forfeiture of Restricted Shares), an Affiliate or a person acting as the agent of the foregoing or which is otherwise determined by the Committee to be in the interests of the Company; or (d) by the participant for no consideration to Immediate Family Members or to a bona fide trust, partnership or other entity controlled by and for the benefit of one or more Immediate Family Members. "Immediate Family Members" means the participant's spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, siblings (including half brothers and sisters), in-laws and other individuals who have a relationship to the participant arising because of a legal adoption. No transfer may be made to the extent that transferability would cause Form S-8 or any successor form thereto not to be available to register Shares related to an Award. The Committee in its discretion may impose additional terms and conditions upon transferability. ARTICLE 13 AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUATION 13.1 Amendment or Discontinuation of this Plan. The Board of Directors may amend, alter, or discontinue this Plan at any time, provided that no amendment, alteration, or discontinuance may be made: (a) which would materially and adversely affect the rights of a participant under any Award granted prior to the date such action is adopted by the Board of Directors without the participant's written consent thereto; and (b) without Shareholder approval, if Shareholder approval is required under applicable laws, regulations or exchange requirements (including Section 422 with respect to ISOs, and for the purpose of qualification as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code). 13.2 Amendment of Grants. The Committee may amend, prospectively or retroactively, the terms of any outstanding Award, provided that no such amendment may be inconsistent with the terms of this Plan (specifically including the prohibition on granting Stock Options with an Exercise Price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the Date of Grant) or would materially and adversely affect the rights of any holder without his or her written consent. 13.3 Effect of Non-Approval of this Plan. This Amended and Restated Plan shall cease to be operative if it is not approved by a majority of the outstanding Shares present (in person, telephonically, electronically, by proxy or its equivalent or as otherwise permitted by the Company's governing documents) and entitled to vote at a meeting of Shareholders of the Company. The terms of the Plan prior to amendment and restatement shall automatically and retroactively govern all rights and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event of such a cessation, any Awards under the Plan which would not be permitted under the terms of the Pioneer-Standard, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan as in effect prior to the effective date of this amendment and restatement shall be revoked and this Amended and Restated Plan shall be deemed null and void ab initio. In the event of such a cessation, the Company, the Board of Directors and the Committee shall not be liable for any such Awards under this Plan. In the event of such a cessation, any Awards under the Plan with a Date of Grant prior to the effective date of this amendment and restatement (April 28, 2004) will remain in full force and effect. ARTICLE 14 SHARE CERTIFICATES 14.1 Delivery of Share Certificates. The Company is not required to issue or deliver any certificates for Shares issuable with respect to Awards under this Plan prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) payment in full for the Shares and for any required tax withholding (See Section 15.3 hereof); (b) completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any Federal or state laws or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulating body which the Committee in its discretion deems necessary or advisable; (c) admission of such Shares to listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed; (d) in the event the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, qualification as a private placement under said Act; (e) obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any Federal or state governmental agency which the Committee in its discretion determines to be necessary or advisable; and (f) the Committee is fully satisfied that the issuance and delivery of Shares under this Plan is in compliance with applicable Federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance or any rule or regulation of any other regulating body, for which the Committee may seek approval of counsel for the Company. 14.2 Applicable Restrictions on Shares. Shares issued with respect to Awards may be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may determine necessary or advisable under any applicable Federal or state securities law rules, regulations and other requirements, the rules, regulations and other requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then-listed, and any other applicable Federal or state law and will include any restrictive legends the Committee may deem appropriate to include. 14.3 Book Entry. In lieu of the issuance of stock certificates evidencing Shares, the Company may use a "book entry" system in which a computerized or manual entry is made in the records of the Company to evidence the issuance of such Shares. Such Company records are, absent manifest error, binding on all parties. ARTICLE 15 GENERAL PROVISIONS 15.1 No Implied Rights to Awards, Employment or Directorship. No potential participant has any claim or right to be granted an Award under this Plan, and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of participants under this Plan. Neither this Plan nor any Award thereunder shall be construed as giving any individual any right to continued employment or continued directorship with the Company or any Affiliate. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and the Company and each Affiliate expressly reserve the right at any time to terminate employees free from liability, or any claim, under this Plan, except as may be specifically provided in this Plan or in an Award agreement. 15.2 Other Compensation Plans. Nothing contained in this Plan prevents the Board of Directors from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to Shareholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 15.3 Withholding. Each participant must, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of the participant for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law or other amounts to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under this Plan are conditioned on such payment, and the Company, to the extent permitted by law, has the right to deduct any such taxes or other amounts from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a participant, with or without such participant's consent. 15.4 Rule 16b-3 Compliance. The Plan is intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time. All transactions involving any participant subject to Section 16(a) shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 16b-3, regardless of whether such conditions are expressly set forth in this Plan. Any provision of this Plan that is contrary to Rule 16b-3 does not apply to such participants. 15.5 Code Section 162(m) Compliance. The Plan is intended to comply with all applicable requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to "performance-based compensation." Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, all transactions involving any participant the deductibility of whose compensation is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code shall be subject to such requirements, regardless of whether such requirements are expressly set forth in this Plan. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, any provision of this Plan that is contrary to such requirements does not apply to such participants. 15.6 Deferrals. The Committee may unilaterally postpone the exercising of Awards, the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award or any action permitted under this Plan to prevent the Company or any Affiliate from being denied a Federal income tax deduction with respect to any Award other than an Incentive Stock Option. The Committee, in its discretion, may permit a participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be delivered to a participant under this Plan. Any deferral elections are subject to such rules and procedures as the Committee may determine. 15.7 Successors. All obligations of the Company with respect to Awards granted under this Plan are binding on any successor to the Company, whether as a result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 15.8 Severability. In the event any provision of this Plan, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, or other applications, and this Plan is to be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 15.9 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, this Plan and all Award agreements pursuant thereto are construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. This Plan is not intended to be governed by ERISA and shall be so construed and administered. 15.10 Tax Information. To the extent required by law, the Company shall furnish the participant with tax reporting and related information. ARTICLE 16 EFFECTIVE DATES 16.1 Effective Date. The original effective date of this Plan was April 27, 2000. 16.2 Plan Amendment and Restatement. Subject to the approval of the Shareholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in 2004, the effective date of this Amended and Restated Agilysys, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan is the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2004. To the extent that Awards are made under this Amendment and Restatement prior to its approval by Shareholders, they shall be contingent upon Shareholder approval of this Amendment and Restatement.
