AGILYSYS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Table amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. Financial Statement Presentation
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 cost method, as appropriate under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) because the company does not have significant influence over the entity. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. The company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, 2009 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.
The unaudited interim financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with 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 normally included in the 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, 2008, as well as the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2008, and 2007 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2008, and 2007 have been prepared by the company without audit. However, these 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 company experiences a disproportionately large percentage of quarterly sales in the last month of its fiscal quarters. 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 and six months ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily to reflect the results of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business and the Hong Kong and China operations as discontinued operations (see note 4). The September 30, 2007, balance sheet contains a reclassification between accounts receivable and accrued liabilities to conform to the September 2008 presentation.
2. Summary of 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, 2008, included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the second quarter of 2009, the company completed a “step-two” analysis of FASB Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement 142”). This was required due to potential goodwill impairment indicators that arose during the first quarter of 2009. For the first quarter of 2009, the “step-two” analysis was initiated and an

6


Table of Contents

estimated impairment charge of $33.6 million was taken as of June 30, 2008, pending completion of the analysis. The analysis was updated and completed for the second quarter of 2009 and consisted of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit (calculated using discounted cash flow analyses), to the implied goodwill of the unit, in accordance with Statement 142. Refer to Note 11 for further information on goodwill impairment.
At September 30, 2008, the company had $36.2 million invested in The Reserve Primary Fund. Due to liquidity issues, the fund has temporarily ceased honoring redemption requests. The Board of Trustees of the fund subsequently voted to liquidate the assets of the fund and approved a distribution of cash to the investors. As of the date of this filing, the company has received $28.5 million of the investment, with $7.7 million remaining in the fund. As a result of the delay in cash distribution, we have reclassified the remaining $7.7 million from Cash and cash equivalents to Short-term investments on the balance sheet, and accordingly, have presented the reclassification as a cash outflow from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of January 13, 2009, the company is unable to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that will be recognized upon final liquidation of the fund. There have been no other significant changes to the accounting policies that were included in the company’s Annual Report as of March 31, 2008.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, of all recent accounting pronouncements, including FASB Statement 162, 161, 141R, 160, and 159. The company will disclose if the adoption of any accounting pronouncements results in any material changes to the financial statements. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, no material changes resulted from the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements.
3. Recent Acquisitions
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, the company allocates the cost of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
2009 Acquisition
Triangle Hospitality Solutions Limited
On April 9, 2008, the company acquired all of the shares of Triangle Hospitality Solutions Limited (“Triangle”), the UK-based reseller and specialist for the company’s InfoGenesis products and services for $2.7 million, comprised of $2.4 million in cash and $0.3 million of assumed liabilities. Accordingly, the results of operations for Triangle have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from that date forward. Triangle will be instrumental in enhancing the company’s international presence and growth strategy in the UK, as well as solidifying the company’s leading position in the hospitality and stadium and arena markets. Triangle will also add to the company’s hospitality solutions suite with the ability to offer customers the Triangle mPOS solution, which is a handheld point-of-sale solution which seamlessly integrates with InfoGenesis products. Based on management’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $2.7 million was assigned to goodwill. The company is still in the process of valuing certain intangible assets; accordingly, allocation of the acquisition cost is subject to modification in the future. Goodwill resulting from the Triangle acquisition will not be deductible for income tax purposes.
2008 Acquisitions
Eatec
On February 19, 2008, the company acquired all of the shares of Eatec Corporation (“Eatec”), a privately held developer and marketer of inventory and procurement software. Accordingly, the results of operations for Eatec have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from that date forward. Eatec’s software, EatecNetX (now called Eatec Solutions by Agilysys), is a recognized leading, open architecture-based, inventory and procurement management system. The software provides customers with the data and information necessary to enable them to increase sales, reduce product costs, improve back-office productivity and increase profitability. Eatec customers include well-known restaurants, hotels, stadiums and entertainment venues in North America and around the world as well as many public service institutions. The acquisition further enhances the company’s position as a leading inventory and procurement solution provider to the hospitality and foodservice markets. Eatec was acquired for a total cost of $25.0 million. Based on management’s allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $18.4 million was assigned to

Table of Contents

goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the Eatec acquisition will not be deductible for income tax purposes. In the first quarter of 2009, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge was taken in the amount of $1.3 million relating to the Eatec acquisition. This was an estimate as of June 30, 2008, pending the completion of the company’s step-two analysis in accordance with FASB Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement 142”). The company has since completed the step-two analysis after updating the discounted cash flow analyses for changes occurring in the second quarter of 2009, resulting in an additional goodwill impairment charge at September 30, 2008, relating to the Eatec acquisition in the amount of $14.4 million. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of the company’s goodwill and intangible assets.
During the second quarter of 2009, management completed its purchase price allocation and assigned $6.2 million of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets as follows: $1.4 million to non-compete agreements, which will be amortized between two and seven years; $2.2 million to customer relationships, which will be amortized over seven years; $1.8 million to developed technology, which will be amortized over five years; and $0.8 million to trade names, which has an indefinite life.
Innovative Systems Design, Inc.
On July 2, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of Innovative Systems Design, Inc. (“Innovative”), the largest U.S. commercial reseller of Sun Microsystems servers and storage products. Accordingly, the results of operations for Innovative have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from that date forward. Innovative is an integrator and solution provider of servers, enterprise storage management products and professional services. The acquisition of Innovative establishes a new and significant relationship between Sun Microsystems and the company. Innovative was acquired for an initial cost of $108.6 million. Additionally, the company is required to pay an earn-out of two dollars for every dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, greater than $50.0 million in cumulative EBITDA over the first two years after consummation of the acquisition. The earn-out will be limited to a maximum payout of $90.0 million. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the company recognized $35.0 million paid subsequently, of the $90.0 million maximum earn-out, which was paid in the first quarter of 2009. In addition, the company amended its agreement with the Innovative shareholders whereby the maximum payout available to the Innovative shareholders was limited to $58.65 million, inclusive of the $35 million paid previously. The EBITDA target required for the shareholders to be eligible for an additional payout is now $67.5 million in cumulative EBITDA over the first two years after the close of the acquisition.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, management completed its purchase price allocation and assigned $29.7 million of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets as follows: $4.8 million to non-compete agreements, $5.5 million to customer relationships, and $19.4 million to supplier relationships which will be amortized over useful lives ranging from two to five years.
Based on management’s allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $97.8 million was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the Innovative acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.
InfoGenesis
On June 18, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of IG Management Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, InfoGenesis and InfoGenesis Asia Limited (collectively, “InfoGenesis”), an independent software vendor and solution provider to the hospitality market. InfoGenesis offers enterprise-class point-of-sale solutions that provide end users a highly intuitive, secure and easy way to process customer transactions across multiple departments or locations, including comprehensive corporate and store reporting. InfoGenesis has a significant presence in casinos, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, stadiums and foodservice. The acquisition provides the company a complementary offering that extends its reach into new segments of the hospitality market, broadens its customer base and increases its software application offerings. InfoGenesis was acquired for a total acquisition cost of $90.6 million.

InfoGenesis had intangible assets with a net book value of $18.3 million as of the acquisition date, which were included in the acquired net assets to determine goodwill. Intangible assets were assigned values as follows: $3.0 million to developed technology, which will be amortized between six months and three years; $4.5 million to customer relationships, which will be amortized between two and seven years; and $10.8 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. Based on management’s allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $71.8 million was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the InfoGenesis acquisition will not be deductible for income tax purposes. In the first quarter of 2009, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge was taken in the amount of $3.9 million relating to the Infogenesis acquisition. This was an estimate as of June 30, 2008, pending the completion of the company’s step-two analysis in accordance with Statement 142. The company has since completed the step-two analysis after updating the discounted cash flow analyses for changes occurring in the second quarter of 2009, resulting in an additional goodwill impairment charge at September 30, 2008, relating to the Infogenesis acquisition in the amount of $57.4 million. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of the company’s goodwill and intangible assets.

4. Discontinued Operations
China and Hong Kong Operations
In July, 2008, the company met the requirements of FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”) to classify its Hong Kong and China operations as held-for-sale and discontinued operations, and began exploring divestiture opportunities for these operations. Agilysys acquired the Hong Kong and China businesses of the Technology Solutions Group in December 2005. The assets and liabilities of these operations are recorded as “held for sale” on the company’s balance sheet, and the operations are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”). As of the January 13, 2009, the company is in negotiations with potential buyers for these assets and operations.

Table of Contents

Through the sale of KSG, the company exited all distribution-related businesses and now exclusively sells directly to end-user customers. By monetizing the value of KSG, the company significantly increased its financial flexibility and intends to redeploy the proceeds to accelerate the growth of its ongoing business both organically and through acquisition. The sale of KSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of KSG, along with the gain on sale, have been reported as a component of discontinued operations.
In connection with the sale of KSG, the company entered into a product procurement agreement (“PPA”) with Arrow Electronics, Inc. Under the PPA, the company is required to purchase a minimum of $330 million worth of products each year during the term of the agreement (5 years), adjusted for product availability and other factors.
Loss from discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, consists primarily of the resolution and settlement of obligations and contingencies of KSG that existed as of the date the assets, results from the operations of KSG that were sold and results of the Hong Kong and China businesses currently for sale.

6. Restructuring Charges
2009 Restructuring Activity
During the first quarter of 2009, the company performed a detailed review of the business to identify opportunities to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. As part of this cost reduction effort, management reorganized the professional services go-to-market strategy by consolidating its management and delivery groups. The company will continue to offer specific proprietary professional services, including identity management, security, and storage virtualization, however it will increase the use of external business partners.
The cost reduction resulted in a $2.5 million and $0.5 million charge for one-time termination benefits relating to a workforce reduction in the first and second quarter of 2009, respectively. The workforce reduction was comprised mainly of sales personnel. Payment of the one-time termination benefits is expected to be substantially complete in 2009. This restructuring also resulted in a $20.6 million impairment to goodwill and intangible assets, related to the company’s 2005 acquisition of the CTS Corporations. The entire $23.6 million restructuring charge relates to the Technology Solutions Group.
2007 Restructuring Activity
During 2007, the company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million for one-time termination benefits resulting from a workforce reduction that was executed in connection with the sale of KSG. The workforce reduction was comprised mainly of corporate personnel. Payment of the one-time termination benefits was substantially complete in 2008.
2006 Restructuring Activity
During 2006, the company recorded restructuring charges of $4.2 million to consolidate a portion of its operations in order to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies. Costs incurred in connection with the restructuring comprised one-time termination benefits and other associated costs resulting from workforce reductions as well as facilities costs relating to the exit of certain leased facilities. Costs of $2.5 million were incurred to reduce the workforce of KSG, professional services business and to execute a senior management realignment and consolidation of responsibilities. Facilities costs of $1.7 million represented the present value of qualifying exit costs, offset by an estimate for future sublease income.

7. Stock Based Compensation
The company has a stock incentive plan. Under the plan, the company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance shares for up to 3.2 million shares of common stock. The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares that may be granted under the plan is 1.6 million. For stock option awards, the exercise price must be set at least equal to the closing market price of the company’s stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of option awards is 10 years from the date of grant. Stock option awards vest over a period established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with, or independently from, a stock option granted under the plan. Stock appreciation rights, granted in connection with a stock option, are exercisable only to the extent that the stock option to which it relates is exercisable and the stock appreciation rights terminate upon the termination or exercise of the related stock option. Restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares may be issued at no cost or at a purchase price that may be below their fair market value, but which are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer. Performance share awards may be granted, where the right to receive shares in the future is conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objectives and such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies. The company generally issues authorized but unissued shares to satisfy share option exercises.
As of September 30, 2008, there were no stock appreciation rights or restricted share units awarded from the plan.

The fair market value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes method. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair value of the stock option grant during the six months ended September 30, 2008.
         
Dividend yield
    0.72% - 0.77 %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.19 %
Expected life
  6.0 years
Expected volatility
    43.05% - 43.39 %
The dividend yield reflects the company’s historical dividend yield on the date of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period equals the option’s expected term. The expected term reflects employee-specific future exercise expectations and historical exercise patterns, as appropriate. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the company’s common stock. The fair market values of options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2008 were 246,000 options at $4.39 and 7,500 options at $5.31.
Compensation expense charged to operations during the six months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, relating to stock options was $0.9 and $1.7 million, respectively. There was no income tax benefit recognized in operations during the six months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $1.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 11 months. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, no stock options were exercised.
In November 2008, 852,276 outstanding options were forfeited due to management restructuring (refer to Note 15 for more information regarding the restructuring).

Non-vested Shares
Compensation expense related to non-vested share awards is recognized over the restriction period based upon the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. Compensation expense charged to operations for non-vested share awards was $1.1 million for both the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. As of September 30, 2008, there was $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 18 months.

Outstanding at September 30, 2008
    68,400  
 
     
The fair market value of non-vested shares is determined based on the closing price of the company’s shares on the grant date.
In October 2008, 36,000 restricted shares were forfeited due to management restructuring (refer to Note 15 for more information regarding the restructuring).
Performance Shares
Compensation expense charged to operations for performance share awards was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, there was $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 18 months.
The following table summarizes performance share activity during the six months ended September 30, 2008:

Outstanding at September 30, 2008
    101,334  
 
       
The company granted shares to certain executives of the company, the vesting of which is contingent upon meeting various company-wide performance goals. The performance shares contingently vest over three years. The fair value of the performance share grant is determined based on the closing market price of the company’s shares on the grant date and assumes that performance goals will be met. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost will be recognized and any compensation cost previously recognized during the vesting period will be reversed.
In October 2008, 80,000 performance share grants were forfeited due to management restructuring (refer to Note 15 for more information regarding the restructuring).
8. Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is based on the company’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the respective full year. The effective tax rates from continuing operations were as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    September 30   September 30
    2008   2007   2008   2007
Effective income tax rate
    7.8 %   nm     7.8 %     63.5 %
The decrease in the effective tax rate from the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the goodwill impairment recognized for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, which is a discrete item, the majority of which has no corresponding tax benefit.

15


Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $6.1 million, of which approximately $4.4 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Gross unrecognized tax benefits increased approximately $0.1 million from March 31, 2008 primarily due an increase in unrecognized tax benefits associated with both current and prior year tax positions which was substantially offset by settlement and the expiration of the statute of limitations associated with uncertain tax positions from a business combination completed in a previous year. As of September 30, 2008, the company had an accrual of approximately $1.5 million for interest and penalties, an increase of $0.3 million from March 31, 2008.
Management does not anticipate that the ongoing nature of examinations in multiple jurisdictions will result in an unfavorable material change to its financial position or results of operations. However, it is reasonably possible that other changes in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the next twelve months from the outcome of examinations and/or the expiration of statutes of limitations in the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by sequencing each series of potential issuance of common shares from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. Diluted earnings per share is determined as the lowest earnings or highest (loss) per incremental share in the sequence of potential common shares.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, options on 2.8 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive.
10. 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 individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the company.
The company has a $200 million unsecured credit facility (“Facility”) that expires in 2010. At September 30, 2008, the company had $199 million available under the Facility given certain letter-of-credit

commitments. The Facility includes a $20 million sub-facility for letters of credit and a $20 million sub-facility for swingline loans. The Facility was available to refinance existing debt, provide for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes of the company including acquisitions. Borrowings under the Facility will generally bear interest at various levels over LIBOR. The Facility contains various financial covenants. The company was in default of its covenants as a result of its failure to timely file this report with the SEC and of other technical requirements. There were no amounts outstanding under the Facility at September 30, 2008.
On February 22, 2008, the company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement for Inventory Financing (Unsecured) (“Inventory Financing Agreement”) with IBM Credit LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”). In addition to providing the Inventory Financing Agreement, IBM has engaged and may engage as a primary supplier to the company in the ordinary course of business. Under the Inventory Financing Agreement, the company may finance the purchase of products from authorized suppliers up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $145 million. The lender may, in its sole discretion, temporarily increase the amount of the credit line but in no event shall the amount of the credit line exceed $250 million. Financing charges will only accrue on amounts outstanding more than 75 days. The company was in default of its covenants as a result of its failure to timely file this report with the SEC and of other technical requirements.
11. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Statement 142 describes a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment (depending on whether certain criteria are met), as that term is used in FASB Statement 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Goodwill has been allocated to the company’s reporting units that are anticipated to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations generating the underlying goodwill. As discussed in Note 14, the company has three operating segments and six reporting units.
The company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test on February 1, and did so in 2008 without a need to expand the impairment test to step-two of Statement 142. However, during fiscal 2009, indictors of potential impairment caused the company to conduct an interim impairment test. Those indicators included the following: a significant decrease in market capitalization, a decline in recent operating results, and a decline in the company’s business outlook primarily due to the macroeconomic environment. In accordance with Statement 142, the company completed step one of the impairment analysis and concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the fair value of three of its six reporting units was below their respective carrying values, including goodwill. The three reporting units that showed potential impairment were Retail Solutions Group, Hospitality Solutions Group, and Stack (a reporting unit within the Technology Solutions Group). As such, step two of the impairment test was initiated in accordance with Statement 142. As of June 30, 2008, the step-two analysis had not been completed due to its time consuming nature. In accordance with paragraph 22 of Statement 142, the company recorded an estimate in the amount of $33.6 million as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge as of June 30, 2008. The step-two analysis has since been completed after updating the discounted cash flow analyses for changes occurring in the second quarter or 2009, resulting in an additional impairment charge of $112.0 million as of September 30, 2008. The three reporting units for which a second quarter impairment was charged were RSG ($6.5 million), HSG (103.4 million), and Stack, a reporting unit within TSG ($2.1 million).

Intangible Assets
During the second quarter of 2009, management completed its purchase price allocation for the Eatec acquisition, and assigned $6.2 million of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets as follows: $1.4 million to non-compete agreements, which will be amortized between two and seven years; $2.2 million to customer relationships, which will be amortized over seven years; $1.8 million to developed technology, which will be amortized over five years; and $0.8 million to trade names, which has an indefinite life.

During the first quarter of 2009, the company took steps to realign its cost structure. Management reorganized the professional services organizational structure, resulting in a $3.0 million restructuring charge for one-time termination benefits. In addition, this restructuring resulted in a $16.8 million goodwill impairment charge and a $3.8 million customer relationship intangible asset impairment charge, both relating to the 2005 CTS acquisition.
12. Investment in Magirus — Held For Sale
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the company maintained an equity interest in Magirus AG (“Magirus”), a privately-owned European enterprise computer systems distributor headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. The company held a 20% interest in Magirus as of September 30, 2008.
Prior to March 31, 2008, the company decided to sell its 20% investment in Magirus and met the qualifications to consider the asset as held for sale. As a result, the company reclassified its Magirus investment to investment held for sale in accordance with FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”). At September 30, 2008, the investment remained held for sale.
Because of the company’s inability to obtain and include audited financial statements of Magirus for fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the SEC has stated that it will not permit effectiveness of any new securities registration statements or post-effective amendments, if any, until such time as the company files audited financial statements that reflect the disposition of Magirus and the company requests and the SEC grants relief to the company from the requirements of Rule 3-09. As part of this restriction, the company is not permitted to file any new securities registration statements that are intended to automatically go into effect when they are filed, nor can the company make offerings under effective registration statements or under Rules 505 and 506 of Regulation D where any purchasers of securities are not accredited investors under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. These restrictions do not apply to: offerings or sales of securities upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities or upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or rights; dividend or interest reinvestment plans; employee benefit plans, including stock option plans; transactions involving secondary offerings; or sales of securities under Rule 144.
As of April 1, 2008, the company has invoked FASB Interpretation No. 35, Criteria for Applying the Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (“FIN 35”), for its investment in Magirus. The invocation of FIN 35 requires the company to account for its investment in Magirus via cost, rather than equity accounting. FIN 35 clarifies the criteria for applying the equity method of accounting for investments of 50% or less of the voting stock of an investee enterprise. The cost method is being used by the company because management does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Magirus, which is one of the presumptions in APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, necessary to account for an investment in common stock under the equity method.
In July, 2008, the company received a dividend from Magirus (as a result of Magirus selling a portion of its distribution business in fiscal 2008) of approximately $7.3 million. In November 2008, the company sold its 20% ownership interest in Magirus for approximately $2.3 million, resulting in approximately

Table of Contents

$9.6 million of total proceeds received in fiscal 2009. The company adjusted the fair value of the investment as of March 31, 2008, to the net present value of the subsequent cash proceeds, resulting in a fourth quarter charge of (i) a $5.5 million reversal of the cumulative currency translation adjustment in accordance with EITF 01-5, Application of FASB Statement No. 52 to an Investment Being Evaluated for Impairment That Will Be Disposed of, and (ii) an impairment charge of $4.9 million to write the held-for-sale investment to its fair value less cost to sell.
During the three and six months ending September 30, 2008, the company recognized interest income from its investment in Magirus of $16,981 and $51,064, respectively.
13. Capital Stock
In August 2007, in fulfillment of the company’s previously disclosed intention to return capital to shareholders, the company announced a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer for up to 6,000,000 of the company’s common shares. In September 2007, the company accepted for purchase 4,653,287 of the company’s common shares at a purchase price of $18.50 per share, for a total cost of approximately $86.1 million, excluding related transaction costs. The tender offer was funded through cash on hand. The company uses the par value method to account for treasury stock. Accordingly, the treasury stock account is charged only for the aggregate stated value of the shares reacquired, or $0.30 per share. The capital in excess of stated value is charged for the difference between cost and stated value.
In September 2007, the company entered into a written trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provided for the purchase of up to 2,000,000 of the company’s common shares. In December 2007, the company announced it had completed the repurchase of the shares on the open market for a total cost of $30.4 million, excluding related transaction costs. Also in December 2007, the company entered into an additional Rule 10b5-1 plan that provided for the purchase of up to an additional 2,500,000 of the company’s common shares. The Board of Directors only authorized a cash outlay of $150 million, which complied with the credit facility approval limit. By February 2008, 2,321,787 of the 2,500,000 shares were redeemed for a total cost of $33.5 million. The $150 million maximum cash outlay was achieved; therefore the purchase of common shares for treasury was completed.
14. Business Segments
Description of Business Segments
The company has three reportable segments: Hospitality Solutions Group, Retail Solutions Group, and Technology Solutions Group. The reportable segments are each managed separately and are supported by various practices for storage and network solutions, professional services, and software services, as well as company-wide functional departments. The segment information for 2007 that is provided below has been restated as a result of the change in the composition of the company’s reportable segments.
The Hospitality Solutions Group (HSG) is a leading technology provider to the hospitality industry, offering application software and services that streamline management of operations, property and inventory for customers in the gaming, hotel and resort, cruise lines, food management services, and sports and entertainment markets.
The Retail Solutions Group (RSG) is a leader in designing solutions that help make retailers more productive and provide their customers with an enhanced shopping experience. RSG solutions help improve operational efficiency, technology utilization, customer satisfaction and in-store profitability, including customized pricing, inventory and customer relationship management systems. The group also provides implementation plans and supplies the complete package of hardware needed to operate the systems, including servers, receipt printers, point-of-sale terminals and wireless devices for in-store use by the retailer’s store associates.

The Technology Solutions Group (TSG) is an aggregation of the company’s IBM, HP, Sun and Stack reporting units due to the similarity of their economic and operating characteristics. TSG is a leading provider of HP, Sun, IBM and EMC enterprise IT solutions for the complex needs of customers in a variety of industries — including education, finance, government, healthcare and telecommunications, among others. The solutions offered include enterprise architecture and high availability, infrastructure optimization, storage and resource management, identity management and business continuity.
Measurement of Segment Operating Results and Segment Assets
The company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its reportable segments based on operating income and “adjusted EBITDA,” which is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization expense. Certain costs and expenses arising from the company’s functional departments are not allocated to the reportable segments for performance evaluation purposes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies listed in the company’s Annual Report at March 31, 2008.
As a result of the March 2007 divestiture of KSG and acquisitions, and due to the debt covenant definitions, the company believes that adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure and reflects the company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA differs from U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative measure required by U.S. GAAP. Management has reconciled adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) in the following chart.
Intersegment sales are recorded at pre-determined amounts to allow for intercompany profit to be included in the operating results of the individual reportable segments. Such intercompany profit is eliminated for consolidated financial reporting purposes.
The company’s chief operating decision maker does not evaluate a measurement of segment assets when evaluating the performance of the company’s reportable segments. As such, financial information relating to segment assets is not provided in the financial information below.

The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund. As of January 7, 2009, approximately $7.7 million of the company’s cash was invested with The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund, a Triple A rated money market account. Effective September 19, 2008, the Reserve Fund suspended rights of redemption from the Primary Fund. As has been widely reported, the Reserve Fund is working with the Securities and Exchange Commission to liquidate the Reserve Fund however, the timing of the liquidation is uncertain at this time. As the liquidation process completes, the Reserve Fund may impose a partial loss of principal upon the investors, however the company believes that loss, if any, will be negligible.
Credit Facility. The company has no amounts outstanding under its credit facility. As of October 17, 2008, the company’s ability to borrow under its credit facility was suspended. The suspension of the facility was due to the company’s previously announced failure to timely file its 10-K annual report with the SEC due to audit issues relating to Magirus and potential default due to other technical deficiencies. The company is exploring alternative financing arrangements, however, believes there is no immediate need for additional debt availability.
Changes to Management, Board and Headquarters
On October 20, 2008, the company’s former Chairman, President and CEO, Arthur Rhein, announced his retirement, effective immediately. The Board appointed Keith M. Kolerus, a current Agilysys director, as its non-executive Chairman. Martin F. Ellis, the company’s Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, was appointed by the Board to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the company and elected to the Board. The Board further appointed Kenneth J. Kossin, Jr., the former Vice President and Controller, to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Curtis C. Stout, was appointed to serve as Treasurer. On October 21, 2008, the company terminated the employment of Messrs. Robert J. Bailey and Peter J. Coleman, both Executive Vice Presidents of the company.
Also in October, the company relocated its headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida, to Cleveland, Ohio, where the company has a facility with a large number of employees. The company was previously headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Agilysys, Inc.’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and 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, 2008. Information set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this filing for additional information concerning these items. Table amounts are in thousands.
Overview
Agilysys, Inc. (“Agilysys” or the “company”) is a leading provider of innovative IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers, with special expertise in select markets, including retail and hospitality. The company uses technology—including hardware, software and services—to help customers resolve their most complicated IT needs. The company possesses expertise in enterprise architecture and high availability, infrastructure optimization, storage and resource management, and business continuity, and provides industry-specific software, services and expertise to the retail and hospitality markets. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio effective October, 2008, Agilysys operates extensively throughout North America, with additional sales offices in the United Kingdom and China. The China operations are held for sale effective July 2008. Agilysys has three reportable segments: Hospitality Solutions, Retail Solutions, and Technology Solutions. See note 14 to consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding the company’s segments.
As disclosed in previous filings, the company sold its KeyLink Systems Distribution business (“KSG”) in March 2007 and now operates solely as an IT solutions provider. The following long-term goals were established by the company with the divestiture of KSG:
  Grow sales to $1 billion in two years and to $1.5 billion in three years. Much of the growth will come from acquisitions.
  Target gross margin in excess of 20% and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 6% within three years.
  While in the near term return on invested capital will be diluted due to acquisitions and legacy costs, the company continues to target long-term return on invested capital of 15%.
As a result of the decline in GDP growth and a weak macroeconomic environment, significant risk in the credit markets and changes in demand for IT products, the company is re-evaluating its long-term revenue goals and acquisition strategy.
The company experienced solid demand across its newly acquired businesses, which contributed $72.0 million of incremental sales during the six months ended September 30, 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 4.8% year-over-year to 28.1% from 23.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively, which was above our long-term goal of achieving gross margins in excess of 20%.
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. The $21.8 million decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in the TSG segment of $17.7 million, a decrease in the RSG segment of $3.9 million, and a decrease in the HSG segment of $0.2 million. The decline in TSG and RSG sales was primarily a result of lower hardware sales volume due to the broad-based decline in demand for IT products. The slight decline in HSG is due to lower sales of its legacy property management software compared with the prior year period. The company is developing a new property management solution that the company plans to launch in fiscal 2010.
Eatec and Triangle were purchased on February 19, 2008, and April 9, 2008, respectfully, and are therefore not included in prior year sales. Eatec contributed $1.6 million and Triangle contributed $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Both acquisitions are included in the HSG segment.
Sales by product category were as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Increase  
    September 30     (Decrease)  
    2008     2007     $     %

Total
  $ 171,438     $ 193,269     $ (21,831 )     (11.3 )%
 
                         
The $22.4 million decrease in hardware sales was primarily due to softer demand for IT products, customer delays in information technology infrastructure spending, and an uncertain macroeconomic environment.
The company generally experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year 2009.
Gross Margin. The $8.5 million increase in gross margin was primarily due to a $5.5 million increase in the TSG segment and a $2.5 million increase in the HSG segment. The RSG segment remained relatively flat to the prior year quarter. The TSG increase was due to favorable product mix and an increase in

25

vendor rebates received. The HSG increase was due to a favorable product mix with higher sales of proprietary software.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $7.1 million increase in SG&A expenses was partially due to the company’s recent acquisitions in the HSG segment, which contributed $1.8 million of incremental operating expenses. The remaining $5.3 million increase in SG&A was primarily attributed to a $2.6 million increase in the amortization of intangible assets, a $1.4 million increase in the allowance for bad debts, a $0.5 million increase in annual software liscensing and maintenance costs, and a $0.6 million increase in incremental expenses associated with the development of Guest360.
Impairment of Goodwill. The $112.0 million increase in goodwill impairment was due to the impairment charge taken at September 30, 2008, in three of the company’s reporting units. The three reporting units for which an impairment was charged were RSG ($6.5 million), HSG (103.4 million), and Stack, a reporting unit within TSG ($2.1 million).
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Statement 142 describes a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment (depending on whether certain criteria are met), as that term is used in FASB Statement 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Goodwill has been allocated to the company’s reporting units that are anticipated to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations generating the underlying goodwill. As discussed under Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the company has three operating segments and six reporting units.
The company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test on February 1, and did so in 2008 without a need to expand the impairment test to step-two of Statement 142. However, during fiscal 2009, indictors of potential impairment caused the company to conduct an interim impairment test. Those indicators included the following: a significant decrease in market capitalization, a decline in recent operating results, and a decline in the company’s business outlook primarily due to the macroeconomic environment. In accordance with Statement 142, the company completed step one of the impairment analysis and concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the fair value of three of its six reporting units was below their respective carrying values, including goodwill. The three reporting units that showed potential impairment were RSG, HSG, and Stack (a reporting unit within TSG). As such, step two of the impairment test was initiated in accordance with Statement 142. As of June 30, 2008, the step-two analysis had not been completed due to its time consuming nature. In accordance with paragraph 22 of Statement 142, the company recorded an estimate in the amount of $33.6 million as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge as of June 30, 2008. The analysis was completed during the second quarter of 2009 and consisted of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit (calculated using discounted cash flow analyses updated for changes occurring in the second quarter of 2009), to the implied goodwill of the unit, in accordance with Statement 142. The completion of the analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $112.0 million at September 30, 2008. As disclosed as a subsequent event in the company’s Form 10-Q at June 30, 2008, due to changing factors that occurred in the second quarter of 2009, primarily a decline in the company’s business outlook, the company expected to incur an additional goodwill impairment charge of up to $250 million as of September 30, 2008, after the step-two analysis was completed.
Restructuring Expense. The $0.5 million increase was primarily due to an additional $0.5 million expense for the one-time termination benefits resulting from workforce reductions in the TSG segment during the first half of 2009, as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other expense, net. The 190.0% favorable change in other expense, net, was principally driven by the year-over-year change from the equity method to the cost method of accounting for the company’s investment in Magirus.
Interest income and expense. The 94.1% unfavorable change in interest income was due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balance in the current quarter compared with the same period last year. The higher cash and cash equivalent balance in the prior year was driven by the cash generated from the sale of KSG in March 2007.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is based on the company’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the respective full year. The effective tax rates from continuing operations were 7.8% and “nm” for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the $112.0 million of goodwill impairment recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2008, which is a discrete item the majority of which has no corresponding tax benefit. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the second quarter of the prior year were higher than the statutory rates principally due to compensation expense associated with incentive stock option awards which was partially offset by the recognition of a discrete income tax benefit of $1.7 million related to previously unrecognized tax benefits associated with an effective settlement with tax authorities in certain state and federal jurisdictions.

Net Sales. The $32.3 million increase in net sales was due to an increase in the TSG segment of $7.2 million, an increase in the RSG segment of $13.9 million, and an increase in the HSG segment of $11.2 million. The increase in the sales was due to the company’s recent acquisitions discussed below. The incremental revenue from acquisitions was offset by a decrease in organic revenue, primarily due to soft demand for server and storage related products.
Eatec and Triangle were acquired on February 19, 2008, and April 9, 2008, respectfully. Therefore, their sales were not included in prior year sales. Eatec contributed $3.2 million and Triangle contributed $1.1 million for the year to date ended September 30, 2008. Both acquisitions are classified in the HSG segment. InfoGenesis and Innovative were acquired on June 18, 2007, and July 2, 2007, respectively, therefore their sales were only included in a portion of the prior year total net sales. In the current year, InfoGenesis contributed an additional $8.5 million and is classified in the HSG segment. Innovative contributed an additional $59.2 million and is classified in the TSG segment.
Sales by product category were as follows:

    September 30     (Decrease)  
    2008     2007     $     %

Of the $17.4 million increase in hardware sales, $56.8 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. Recent HSG acquisitions include Eatec and Triangle which were purchased on February 19, 2008, and April 9, 2008, respectively, as well as the incremental sales of InfoGenesis which was purchased on June 18, 2007. Innovative, a TSG acquisition, was purchased on July 2, 2007, and accounted for approximately 96.2% of the $56.8 million incremental hardware sales from acquisitions. Aside from the $56.8 million incremental hardware sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, hardware sales from the company’s existing business decreased $39.4 million, or 16.9%, compared with last year due to lower volume caused by the broad-based decline in IT spending.
Of the $5.4 million increase in software sales, $4.3 million was primarily a result of incremental sales from the company’s recent HSG acquisitions. The remaining $1.1 million increase in software sales was driven by higher sales of remarketed software offerings from the company’s existing business.
Of the $9.5 million increase in service revenue, $11.0 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. Aside from the recent acquisitions, the company’s existing business decreased $1.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributed to lower volume of remarketed service revenue.
The company generally 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, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year 2009.
Gross Margin. The $24.3 million increase in gross margin was primarily due to an $11.0 million increase in the TSG segment, a $3.1 million increase in the RSG segment, and a $9.4 million increase in the HSG segment. The TSG increase can be attributed to the increase in sales, as well as a favorable product mix and an increase in rebates received. The HSG and RSG increase can also be attributed to the increase in sales, as well as higher sales of proprietary software in the HSG segment.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $26.8 million increase in SG&A expenses was principally due to the company’s recent acquisitions, which contributed $20.7 million of incremental

28


Table of Contents

operating expenses. The remaining $6.1 million increase in SG&A was primarily attributed to a $2.1 million increase in compensation and benefits, a $0.9 million increase in professional fees, a $0.5 million increase in repairs and maintenance, a $0.5 million increase in depreciation, a $0.4 million increase in travel and entertainment, and a $0.4 million increase in advertising and promotions.
Impairment of Goodwill. The $145.6 million increase in Goodwill Impairment was due to the charge taken at June 30, 2008 and September 30, in three of the company’s reporting units. The three reporting units for which an impairment was charged were RSG ($24.9 million), HSG ($110.8 million), and Stack, a reporting unit within TSG ($9.9 million).
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Statement 142 describes a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment (depending on whether certain criteria are met), as that term is used in FASB Statement 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Goodwill has been allocated to the company’s reporting units that are anticipated to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations generating the underlying goodwill. As discussed under Note 14 to consolidated financial statements, the company has three operating segments and six reporting units.
The company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test on February 1, and did so in 2008 without a need to expand the impairment test to step-two of Statement 142. However, during fiscal 2009, indictors of potential impairment caused the company to conduct an interim impairment test. Those indicators included the following: a significant decrease in market capitalization, a decline in recent operating results, and a decline in the company’s business outlook primarily due to the macroeconomic environment. In accordance with Statement 142, the company completed step one of the impairment analysis and concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the fair value of three of its six reporting units was below their respective carrying values, including goodwill. The three reporting units that showed potential impairment were Retail Solutions Group, Hospitality Solutions Group, and Stack (a reporting unit within the Technology Solutions Group). As such, step two of the impairment test was initiated in accordance with Statement 142. As of June 30, 2008, the step-two analysis had not been completed due to its time consuming nature. In accordance with paragraph 22 of Statement 142, the company recorded an estimate in the amount of $33.6 million as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge as of June 30, 2008. The analysis was completed during the second quarter of 2009 and consisted of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit (calculated using discounted cash flow analyses updated for changes occurring in the second quarter of 2009), to the implied goodwill of the unit, in accordance with Statement 142. The completion of the analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $112.0 million at September 30, 2008.
Restructuring Expense. The $23.5 million increase was primarily due to a $20.6 million expense for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and a $3.0 million expense for the one-time termination benefits resulting from workforce reductions.

Table of Contents

Interest income and expense. The 95.7% unfavorable change in interest income was due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balance in the current quarter compared with the same period last year. The higher cash and cash equivalent balance in the prior year was driven by the cash generated from the sale of KSG in March 2007.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is based on the company’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the respective full year. The effective tax rates from continuing operations were 7.8% and 63.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the $145.6 million of goodwill impairment recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2008, which is a discrete item the majority of which has no corresponding tax benefit. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the first half of the prior year were higher than the statutory rates principally due to compensation expense associated with incentive stock option awards which was partially offset by the recognition of a discrete income tax benefit of $2.8 million related to previously unrecognized tax benefits associated with an effective settlement with tax authorities in certain state and federal jurisdictions.
Capital Stock
In August 2007, in fulfillment of the company’s previously disclosed intention to return capital to shareholders, the company announced a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer for up to 6,000,000 of the company’s common shares. In September 2007, the company accepted for purchase 4,653,287 of the company’s common shares at a purchase price of $18.50 per share, for a total cost of approximately $86.1 million, excluding related transaction costs. The tender offer was funded through cash on hand. The company uses the par value method to account for treasury stock. Accordingly, the treasury stock account is charged only for the aggregate stated value of the shares reacquired, or $0.30 per share. The capital in excess of stated value is charged for the difference between cost and stated value.
In September 2007, the company entered into a written trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provided for the purchase of up to 2,000,000 of the company’s common shares. In December 2007, the company announced it had completed the repurchase of the shares on the open market for a total cost of $30.4 million, excluding related transaction costs. Also in December 2007, the company entered into an additional Rule 10b5-1 plan that provided for the purchase of up to an additional 2,500,000 of the company’s common shares. The Board of Directors only authorized a cash outlay of $150 million, which complied with the credit facility approval limit. By February 2008, 2,321,787 of the 2,500,000 shares were redeemed for a total cost of $33.5 million. The $150 million maximum cash outlay was achieved; therefore the purchase of the company’s common shares for treasury was completed.

Discontinued Operations
China and Hong Kong Operations
In July 2008, the company met the requirements of FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”) to classify its Hong Kong and China operations as held-for-sale and discontinued operations, and began exploring divestiture opportunities for these operations. Agilysys acquired the Hong Kong and China businesses of the Technology Solutions Group in December 2005. The assets and liabilities of these operations are recorded as “held for sale” on the company’s balance sheet, and the operations are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”). As of the January 13, 2009, the company is in negotiations with potential buyers for these assets and operations.
Sale of Assets and Operations of KeyLink Systems Distribution Business
During 2007, the company sold the assets and operations of KSG for $485.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. At March 31, 2007, the final working capital adjustment was $10.8 million. Through the sale of KSG, the company exited all distribution-related businesses and now exclusively sells directly to end-user customers. By monetizing the value of KSG, the company significantly increased its financial flexibility and intends to redeploy the proceeds to accelerate the growth of its ongoing business both organically and through acquisition. The sale of KSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of KSG, along with the gain on sale, have been reported as a component of discontinued operations.
Investment in Magirus — Held For Sale
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the company maintained an equity interest in Magirus AG (“Magirus”), a privately-owned European enterprise computer systems distributor headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. The company held a 20% interest in Magirus as of September 30, 2008.
Prior to March 31, 2008, the company decided to sell its 20% investment in Magirus and met the qualifications to consider the asset as held for sale. As a result, the company reclassified its Magirus investment to investment held for sale in accordance with FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“Statement 144”). At September 30, 2008, the investment remained held for sale.
Because of the company’s inability to obtain and include audited financial statements of Magirus for fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the SEC has

34


Table of Contents

stated that it will not permit effectiveness of any, if any, of the company’s securities registration statements or post-effective amendments until such time as the company files audited financial statements that reflect the disposition of Magirus and the company requests and the SEC grants relief to the company from the requirements of Rule 3-09. As part of this restriction, the company is not permitted to file any new securities registration statements that are intended to automatically go into effect when they are filed, nor can the company make offerings under effective registration statements or under Rules 505 and 506 of Regulation D where any purchasers of securities are not accredited investors under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. These restrictions do not apply to: offerings or sales of securities upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities or upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or rights; dividend or interest reinvestment plans; employee benefit plans, including stock option plans; transactions involving secondary offerings; or sales of securities under Rule 144.
As of April 1, 2008, the company has invoked FASB Interpretation No. 35, Criteria for Applying the Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (“FIN 35”), for its investment in Magirus. The invocation of FIN 35 requires the company to account for its investment in Magirus via cost, rather than equity accounting. FIN 35 clarifies the criteria for applying the equity method of accounting for investments of 50% or less of the voting stock of an investee enterprise. The cost method is being used by the company because management does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Magirus, which is one of the presumptions in APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock necessary to account for an investment in common stock under the equity method.
In July, 2008, the company received a dividend from Magirus (as a result of Magirus selling its distribution business in fiscal 2008) of approximately $7.3 million. In November 2008, the company sold its 20% ownership interest in Magirus for approximately $2.3 million, resulting in approximately $9.6 million of total proceeds received in fiscal 2009. The company adjusted the fair value of the investment as of March 31, 2008, to the net present value of the subsequent cash proceeds, resulting in a fourth quarter charge of (i) $5.5 million reversal of the cumulative currency translation adjustment in accordance with EITF 01-5, Application of FASB Statement No. 52 to an Investment Being Evaluated for Impairment That Will Be Disposed of, and (ii) an impairment charge of $4.9 million to write the held-for-sale investment to its fair value less cost to sell.
During the three and six months ending September 30, 2008, the company recognized interest income from its investment in Magirus of $16,981 and $51,064, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, of all recent accounting pronouncements, including FASB Statement 162, 161, 141R, 160, and 159. The company will disclose if the adoption of any accounting pronouncements results in any material changes to the financial statements. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, no material changes resulted from the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The company’s operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, operating expenses, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on indebtedness outstanding, which mainly consists of lease and rental obligations at September 30, 2008. The company believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet its short and long-term liquidity requirements.
As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the company’s total debt balance was $1.0 million, and consisted of capital lease obligations.

Revolving Credit Facility
The company has a $200 million unsecured credit facility (“Facility”) that is scheduled to expire in 2010. The Facility includes a $20 million sub-facility for letters of credit and a $20 million sub-facility for swingline loans. The Facility was available to refinance existing debt, provide for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes of the company including acquisitions. Borrowings under the Facility bears interest at various levels over LIBOR. The company has no amounts outstanding under its credit facility. As of October 17, 2008, the company’s ability to borrow under its credit facility was suspended. The suspension of the facility was due to the company’s previously announced failure to timely file its 10-K annual report with the SEC due to audit issues relating to Magirus, and potential default of covenants due to other technical deficiencies. The company is exploring alternative financing arrangements, however, believes there is no immediate need for additional debt availability.
IBM Floor Plan Agreement
On February 22, 2008, the company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement for Inventory Financing (Unsecured) (“Inventory Financing Agreement”) with IBM Credit LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”). In addition to providing the Inventory Financing Agreement, IBM has engaged and may engage as a primary supplier to the company in the ordinary course of business. Under the Inventory Financing Agreement, the company may finance the purchase of products from authorized suppliers up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $145 million. The lender may, in its sole discretion, temporarily increase the amount of the credit line but in no event shall the amount of the credit line exceed $250 million. Financing charges will only accrue on amounts outstanding more than 75 days. The company was in default of its covenants as a result of its failure to timely file this report with the SEC and of other technical requirements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The company’s use of cash for operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2008, decreased $54.1 million compared with the same period last year. The decrease was principally due to the income tax payments made during the six months ended September 30, 2007 as a result of the gain on sale of KSG in March 2007. The cash outflow for the 2007 income tax payments was partially offset by a decrease in Accrued Liabilities which can be attributed to the Innovative earn-out payment of $35.0 million. The remainder of the decrease during the six months ended September 30, 2008, was principally driven by changes in working capital, particularly the transition to floor plan financing, which is recorded as a financing activity.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. The company’s use of cash for investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2008 decreased $206.2 million compared with the same period last year. The decrease was principally due to the business acquisitions made in the prior year, which were funded by cash on hand. Cash paid for the Triangle acquisition made in the current year was $2.4 million, compared to the cash paid for Stack, InfoGenesis, and Innovative in the first half of the prior year of $212.8 million. The prior period’s use of cash was offset by $4.8 million received from the redemption of the company’s cost investment in an affiliated company during the prior year, and the six months ended September 30, 2008’s use of cash for investing activities was more than completely offset by the cash received from the Magirus cost basis investment. In addition, the company reclassified the $7.7 million remaining in the Reserve Primary Fund as a cash outflow from investing activities. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding The Reserve Primary Fund.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. The company’s cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2008, increased $160.7 million compared with the same period last year. The increase was due to the cash provided by the company’s floor plan financing agreement, which contributed $75.6 million in the current quarter, and the outflow in the prior year as a result of the company’s purchase of treasury shares for $86.1 million.
Contractual Obligations
There were no significant changes to the Contractual Obligation table presented in the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.
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
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, 2008, included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the second quarter of 2009, the company completed a “step-two” analysis of FASB Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement 142”). This was required due to potential goodwill impairment indicators that arose during the first quarter of 2009. For the first quarter of 2009, the “step-two” analysis was initiated and an estimated impairment charge of $33.6 million was taken as of June 30, 2008, pending completion of the analysis. The analysis was updated and completed for the second quarter of 2009 and consisted of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit (calculated using discounted cash flow analyses), to the implied goodwill of the unit, in accordance with Statement 142. Refer to Note 11 to consolidated financial statements for further information on goodwill impairment. At September 30, 2008, the company had $36.2 million invested in The Reserve Primary Fund. Due to liquidity issues, the fund has temporarily ceased honoring redemption requests. The Board of Trustees of the fund subsequently voted to liquidate the assets of the fund, and approved a distribution of cash to the investors. As of the date of this filing, the company has received $28.5 million of the investment, with $7.7 million remaining in the fund. As a result of the delay in the cash distribution, we have reclassified the remaining $7.7 million from cash and cash equivalents to Short-term investments on the balance sheet, and accordingly, have presented the reclassification as a cash outflow from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of January 13, 2009, the company is unable to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that will be recognized upon final liquidation of the fund. There have been no other significant changes to the critical accounting policies that were included in the company’s Annual Report as of March 31, 2008.

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, 2008.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are not effective solely because of the material weakness relating to the company’s internal control over financial reporting as described below in “Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.” In light of the material weakness, the company performed additional analysis and post-closing procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that it did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as a result of the material weakness discussed below as of March 31, 2008.
Revenue Recognition Controls – The aggregation of several errors in the company’s Hospitality Solutions Group’s and Retail Solutions Group’s order processing operations resulted in a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of revenue recognition controls.
Management has performed a review of the company’s internal control processes and procedures surrounding the hospitality and retail order processing operations. As a result of this review, the company has taken and continues to implement the following steps to prevent future errors from occurring:
  1.   Mandatory training for all sales operations personnel including procedure and process review, and awareness and significance of key controls;
 
  2.   Additional review and approval on documents supporting all transactions greater than $100,000 by the Sales Operations Management; and
 
  3.   Enhanced monthly sales cutoff testing by the company’s Internal Audit Department to ensure proper and timely revenue recognition.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The company continues to integrate each acquired entity’s internal controls over financial reporting into the company’s own internal controls over financial reporting, and will continue to review and, if necessary, make changes to each acquired entity’s internal controls over financial reporting until such time as integration is complete. No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the company continued to implement the remedial measures described above.
