NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BMC Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, we, us, our or BMC). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented herein. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Our results generally tend to be stronger in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, as compared to the first and second quarters of our fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance for intangible assets, specifically related to the annual goodwill impairment test. This guidance requires entities to perform a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired in situations where reporting units have a carrying value that is zero or negative. If the qualitative evaluation determines it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, step two of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fiscal 2012 goodwill impairment test and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that include both software and non-software related deliverables. This guidance requires entities to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) or other third party evidence of the selling price. Additionally, the guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2) Business Combinations

In April 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Coradiant Inc. (Coradiant), a global provider of end-to-end performance management of web applications, for total cash consideration of $130.0 million. Coradiant’s operating results have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. This acquisition expands BMC’s current application performance management offering to provide real-time insight into application performance and its impact on user behavior across enterprise, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud environments. The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities consisting primarily of $18.1 million of acquired technology and $22.7 million of customer relationships, both with a weighted average economic life of three years, in addition to other tangible assets and liabilities. This acquisition resulted in a preliminary allocation of $93.2 million to goodwill assigned to our Enterprise Service Management (ESM) segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in goodwill include, but are not limited to, the retention of research and development personnel with the skills to develop future Coradiant technology, support personnel to provide maintenance services related to Coradiant products and a trained sales force capable of selling current and future Coradiant products and the opportunity to cross-sell our products and Coradiant products to existing customers.

In June 2011, we also completed the acquisitions of Aeroprise, Inc. (Aeroprise), a provider of mobile IT service management solutions, as part of our ESM segment, and Neon Enterprise Software, LLC’s (Neon) portfolio of IMS solution software as part of our Mainframe Service Management (MSM) segment, for combined purchase consideration of $21.0 million. The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities consisting primarily of $17.3 million of acquired technology, with weighted average economic lives of approximately three years, in addition to other tangible assets and liabilities. These acquisitions resulted in a preliminary allocation of $7.6 million to goodwill assigned to our ESM segment.

6

We are in the process of finalizing our assessment of the fair value of acquired intangible assets and will adjust the purchase price allocations when finalized.

(3) Financial Instruments

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis using the following valuation techniques:

(A) Market approach — Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

(B) Income approach — Uses valuation techniques to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, using present value techniques.

The fair values of our financial instruments were determined using the following input levels and valuation techniques:

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
				Quoted Prices in Active					Significant
				Markets for Identical		Significant Other			Unobservable
				Assets		Observable Inputs			Inputs		Valuation

Total	$	(2.7	)	$	—	$	(2.7	)	$	—

Level 1 classification is applied to any asset or liability that has a readily available quoted market price from an active market where there is significant transparency in the executed/quoted price.

Level 2 classification is applied to assets and liabilities that have evaluated prices where the data inputs to these valuations are observable either directly or indirectly, but do not represent quoted market prices from an active market.

Level 3 classification is applied to assets and liabilities when prices are not derived from existing market data and requires us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would value the asset or liability.

The following summarizes the underlying contractual maturities of our available-for-sale investments in debt securities at June 30, 2011:

			Fair
	Cost		Value
	(In millions)
Due in one year or less	$	113.4	$	113.4
Due between one and two years		18.0		18.0
Due after ten years		29.6		26.8
Total	$	161.0	$	158.2

At June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we held auction rate securities with a par value of $29.6 million and $29.8 million, respectively, which were classified as available-for-sale. The total estimated fair value of our auction rate securities was $26.8 million and $27.2 million at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Our auction rate securities consist entirely of bonds issued by public agencies that are backed by student loans with at least a 97% guarantee by the federal government under the United States Department of Education’s Federal Family Education Loan Program. All of these bonds are currently rated investment grade by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. Auctions for these securities began failing in early 2008 and have continued to fail, resulting in our continuing to hold such securities and the issuers paying interest at the maximum contractual rates. We do not believe that any of the underlying issuers of these auction rate securities are presently at risk of default or that the underlying credit quality of the assets backing the auction rate security investments has been impacted by the reduced liquidity of these investments. Due to the illiquidity in the auction rate securities market caused by failed auctions, we estimated the fair value of these securities and the put option discussed below using internally developed models of the expected cash flows of the securities which incorporate assumptions about the expected cash flows of the underlying student loans and estimates of the rate of return required by investors, which includes an adjustment to reflect a lack of liquidity in the market for these securities. Periodically, the issuers of certain of our auction rate securities have redeemed portions of our holdings at par value plus accrued interest. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, issuers redeemed available-for-sale holdings of $0.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively, and trading holdings of $5.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

In November 2008, we entered into a put agreement with a bank from which we acquired certain auction rate securities. On July 1, 2010, we exercised our right under this agreement to put the remaining securities subject to this agreement, with $11.2 million par value, to the bank. The auction rate securities subject to the put were classified as short-term investments and trading securities and, accordingly, any changes in the fair value of these securities were recognized in earnings. In addition, we elected the option under GAAP to record the put option at fair value. The fair value adjustments to these auction rate securities and the related put option, prior to the exercise of the put on July 1, 2010, resulted in minimal net impact to the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

The unrealized loss on our available-for-sale auction rate securities, which have a fair value of $26.8 million at June 30, 2011, was $2.8 million and was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as we believe the decline in fair value of these auction rate securities is temporary. In making this determination, we primarily considered the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, the probability scheduled cash flows will continue to be made and the likelihood we would be required to sell the investments before recovery of our cost basis. These available-for-sale auction rate securities have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. Because of the uncertainty related to the timing of liquidity associated with these auction rate securities, these securities are classified as long-term investments at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate globally and transact business in various foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposures relate primarily to certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily non-U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable, cash and intercompany balances held by U.S. dollar functional currency entities. To minimize the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we have established a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Gains or losses on our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts entered into under this program. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have terms of one month or less and are generally entered into at the prevailing market exchange rate at the end of each month. We do not use forward contracts for speculative purposes. While these foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge foreign currency exposures, they are not formally designated as hedges, and therefore, the changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized currently in earnings. We record these foreign currency forward contracts at fair value as either assets or liabilities depending on their net settlement position with each respective counterparty at the balance sheet date.

9

The fair value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that closed in a gain position at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was $1.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and was recorded within other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that closed in a loss position at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was $2.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and was recorded within accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The notional amounts at contract exchange rates of our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding were:

	Notional Amount

	2011		2011
	(In millions)
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts (receive United States dollar/pay foreign currency)

Chinese yuan renminbi		8.8		7.6
New Zealand dollar		4.4		2.9
Swiss franc		3.9		1.5
South Korean won		3.8		4.6
Norwegian krone		3.6		2.0
Danish krone		3.6		3.0
Canadian dollar		—		4.2
Other		5.0		4.2
Total	$	278.4	$	213.0
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts (pay United States dollar/receive foreign currency)
Israeli shekel	$	161.9	$	151.6
Indian rupee		7.7		9.1
Mexican peso		6.2		9.3
Other		3.8		2.2
Total	$	179.6	$	172.2

Our use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is intended to principally offset gains and losses associated with foreign currency exposures. Therefore, the notional amounts and currencies underlying our foreign currency forward contracts will fluctuate period to period as they are principally dependent on the balances and currency denomination of monetary assets and liabilities maintained by our global entities. The effect of the foreign currency forward contracts for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was a loss of $3.7 million and a gain of $11.5 million, respectively, which, after including gains and losses on our foreign currency exposures, resulted in a net loss of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, recorded in interest and other income, net.

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but we do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. In addition, we diversify this risk across several counterparties and utilize netting agreements to mitigate the counterparty credit risk.

Trade Finance Receivables

A substantial portion of our trade finance receivables are transferred to financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We utilize wholly-owned finance subsidiaries in these finance receivables transfers. These entities are consolidated into our financial position and results of operations. We account for such transfers as sales in accordance with applicable accounting rules pertaining to the transfer of financial assets and the sale of future revenue when we have surrendered control of such receivables (including determining that such assets have been isolated beyond our reach and the reach of our creditors) and when we do not have significant continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due the financial institutions. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we transferred $11.1 million and $109.0 million, respectively, of such receivables through these programs. Finance receivables are typically transferred within several months after origination and the outstanding principal balance at the time of transfer typically approximates fair value.

10

For those finance receivables not transferred, we evaluate the credit risk of finance receivables in our portfolio based on regional characteristics specific to the risk climate in each of our geographic operations as well as based on internal credit quality indicators for individual receivables. We evaluate the credit risk of finance receivables using an internal credit rating system based on whether an individual receivable meets specific internal criteria including counterparty credit rating and receivable maturity date and assign an internal credit rating of 1, 2 or 3, with a credit rating of 1 representing the best credit quality.

For all regions and credit categories, a finance receivable will be specifically reserved once deemed uncollectible. As of June 30, 2011, we held $231.8 million of finance receivables, net of $0.3 million of specific receivables which have been fully reserved.

At June 30, 2011, our finance receivables balance, net of allowance, by region and by class of internal credit rating is as follows:

	North America		EMEA		Asia Pacific		Latin America		Total
	(In millions)
Class 1	$	107.2	$	38.8	$	17.9	$	0.5	$	164.4
Class 2		24.1		34.8		2.2		1.5		62.6
Class 3		1.2		1.2		0.9		1.5		4.8
Balance at the end of the period	$	132.5	$	74.8	$	21.0	$	3.5	$	231.8

Other Financial Instruments

The fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2018 at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, based on market prices, was $348.2 million and $348.9 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $298.8 million and $298.7 million, respectively.

The carrying values of all other financial instruments, consisting primarily of trade and finance receivables, accounts payable and other borrowings, approximate their respective fair values.

(4) Long-Term Borrowings

Long-term borrowings at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 consisted of:

	June 30,			March 31,
	2011			2011
	(In millions)
Senior unsecured notes due 2018 (net of $1.2 million and $1.3 million of unamortized discount at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively)	$	298.8		$	298.7
Capital leases and other obligations		54.4			56.2
Total		353.2			354.9
Less current maturities of capital leases and other obligations (included in accrued liabilities)		(19.3	)		(19.3	)
Long-term borrowings	$	333.9		$	335.6

In November 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with certain institutional lenders providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an amount up to $400.0 million which is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2014 (the Credit Facility). Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, we may invite existing and new lenders to increase the size of the Credit Facility up to a maximum of $600.0 million. The Credit Facility includes provisions for swing line loans of up to $25.0 million and standby letters of credit of up to $50.0 million. Revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (i) the base rate (as defined) plus a margin based on the credit ratings of BMC’s senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the Senior Notes), or (ii) the LIBOR rate (as defined) plus a margin based on the credit ratings of BMC’s Senior Notes, for interest periods of one, two, three or six months. As of June 30, 2011 and through July 27, 2011, we have not borrowed any funds under the Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

11

(5) Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $17.8 million and $9.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 15.7% and 9.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with earnings from lower tax rate jurisdictions throughout the world and our policy of indefinitely reinvesting earnings from certain jurisdictions (primarily in Europe), as well as due to additional accruals, changes in estimates, releases and settlements with taxing authorities related to our uncertain tax positions and benefits associated with income attributable to both domestic production activities and the extraterritorial income exclusion. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the overall favorable effect of foreign tax rates on our effective tax rate was 12.0% and 10.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also recorded discrete net tax benefits of $6.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, associated with tax authority settlements related to prior years’ tax matters which favorably impacted our effective tax rate by 5.5% and 13.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory rates.

We file a federal income tax return in the United States as well as income tax returns in various local, state and foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years are closed with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the tax year ended March 31, 2005. The IRS has completed the audit of our tax years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 and all issues except one related to the year ended March 31, 2006 have been resolved. We received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS related to this issue and in July 2011 filed a petition for hearing with the U.S. Tax Court. The IRS has completed its examination of our federal income tax return for the tax year ended March 31, 2008, and there were no un-agreed issues. In addition, certain tax years related to local, state and foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination. To provide for potential tax exposures, we maintain a liability for unrecognized tax benefits which we believe is adequate.

(6) Share-Based Compensation

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we granted 1.4 million nonvested stock units at a weighted average grant price of $53.64 to our executive officers and non-executive employees, consisting of both time-based and market-based awards. Time-based nonvested stock units vest in annual increments over three years. Market-based nonvested stock units vest in 50% increments over two- and three-year periods upon achievement of certain targets related to our relative shareholder return as compared to the NASDAQ-100 Index over each performance period.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we issued 0.9 million shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options and 1.2 million shares of common stock related to vesting of restricted stock units.

At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $244.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards that are expected to be recognized as expense over a remaining weighted-average period of two years.

Share-based compensation expense as recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations is summarized as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
	(In millions)
Cost of license revenue	$	1.1	$	0.8
Cost of maintenance revenue		3.5		2.3
Cost of professional services revenue		1.3		0.9
Selling and marketing expenses		9.1		8.7
Research and development expenses		2.9		2.1
General and administrative expenses		12.9		10.3
Total share-based compensation expense	$	30.8	$	25.1

(7) Stockholders’ Equity

Earnings Per Share

The two-class method is utilized for the computation of earnings per share (EPS). The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, if declared. Income allocated to these participating securities is excluded from net earnings allocated to common shares, as shown in the table below.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes our basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
	(In millions, except per share data)
Basic earnings per share:
Net earnings	$	95.7	$	92.8
Less earnings allocated to participating securities		—		(0.1	)
Net earnings allocated to common shares	$	95.7	$	92.7
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		176.3		180.3
Basic earnings per share	$	0.54	$	0.51
Diluted earnings per share:
Net earnings	$	95.7	$	92.8
Less earnings allocated to participating securities		—		(0.1	)
Net earnings allocated to common shares	$	95.7	$	92.7
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		176.3		180.3
Incremental shares from assumed conversions of share-based awards		4.3		3.5
Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding		180.6		183.8
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.53	$	0.50

For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 0.3 million and 4.0 million weighted average potential common shares, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as they were anti-dilutive.

Treasury Stock

Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of $4.0 billion to repurchase common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased 3.4 million shares for $180.5 million under the stock repurchase program. At June 30, 2011, approximately $450.2 million remains authorized in the stock repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased 0.4 million shares for $21.7 million to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of share-based awards.

(8) Guarantees and Contingencies

Guarantees

Under our standard software license agreements, we agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our licensees from and against certain losses, damages and costs arising from claims alleging the licensees’ use of our software infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Also, under these standard license agreements, we represent and warrant to licensees that our software products operate substantially in accordance with published specifications.

13

Other guarantees include promises to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of our executive officers, non-employee directors and certain key employees from and against losses, damages and costs incurred by each such individual in administrative, legal or investigative proceedings arising from alleged wrongdoing by the individual while acting in good faith within the scope of his or her job duties on our behalf.

We also had outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds and similar instruments at June 30, 2011 of approximately $37.1 million primarily in support of performance obligations to various customers, but also related to facilities and other obligations.

Historically, we have not incurred significant costs related to such indemnifications, warranties and guarantees. As such, and based on other factors, no provision or accrual for these items has been made.

Contingencies

We are subject to intellectual property claims and legal proceedings, including claims of alleged infringement of patents asserted by third parties against us in the form of claim letters. These claims are in various stages, may result in formal legal proceedings against us, and may not be fully resolved in the near future. We cannot currently predict the timing or ultimate outcome, nor estimate a range of loss, if any, for such claims.

In December 2010, a lawsuit was filed against a number of software companies, including us, by Uniloc USA, Inc. and Uniloc Singapore Private Limited in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. The complaint seeks monetary damages in unspecified amounts and permanent injunction based upon claims for alleged patent infringement. While we intend to vigorously defend this matter, because it is in the early stages of discovery and involves a number of parties, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome, nor estimate a range of loss, if any, for this matter.

We are party to various labor claims brought by certain former international employees alleging that amounts are due to such employees for unpaid commissions and other compensation. The claims are in various stages and are not expected to be fully resolved in the near future; however, we intend to vigorously contest all of the claims. Taking into account accruals recorded by us, we do not believe the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of these matters.

We are currently litigating a matter in Brazilian courts as to whether a tax applies to the remittance of software payments from our Brazilian operations. In February 2007, a law was enacted that clarified that this particular tax did not apply to the remittance of software payments, retroactive to January 1, 2006. We continue to pursue a favorable resolution on this matter for years prior to January 1, 2006. While we believe we will ultimately prevail based on the merits of our position, if we do not, we could incur a charge of up to approximately $14 million; however, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of this matter.

We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Taking into account accruals recorded by us, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

(9) Segment Reporting

We are organized into two business segments, Enterprise Service Management (ESM) and Mainframe Service Management (MSM). The ESM segment derives its revenue from our service support, service assurance and service automation solutions, along with professional services revenue derived from consulting, implementation, integration and educational services related to our software products. The MSM segment derives its revenue from products for mainframe database management, monitoring and automation, middleware management, enterprise scheduling and output management solutions.

Segment performance is measured based on segment operating income, reflecting segment revenue less direct and allocated indirect segment operating expenses. Direct segment operating expenses primarily include cost of revenue, selling and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses that can be specifically identified to a particular segment and are directly controllable by segment management, while allocated indirect segment operating expenses primarily include indirect costs within these operating expense categories that are not specifically identified to a particular segment or controllable by segment management. The indirect operating expenses are allocated to the segments based on budgeted bookings, revenue and other allocation methods that management believes to be reasonable. Our measure of segment operating income does not include the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other intangible assets or the costs associated with severance, exit costs and related charges, which are collectively included in unallocated operating expenses below. Assets and liabilities are reviewed by management at the consolidated level only.

(10) New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for fair value measurements, primarily clarifying existing guidance and adding new disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance requires entities to disclose quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 measurements, and to provide additional qualitative information regarding the valuation process in place for Level 3 measurements and the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs used. This new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Overview

We delivered solid year over year results in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Most of our key financial measures increased year over year with the exception of ESM license bookings which remained relatively flat year over year and came in below our expectations. Select operating metrics for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 include:

• Total bookings, which represent the contract value of new transactions that we closed and recorded during the quarter, were $615.4 million for the quarter, representing an increase of $172.5 million, or 38.9%, over the prior year quarter. Within the quarter, one large transaction generated total bookings of over $100 million, principally related to our MSM business.

• Total license bookings were $192.5 million for the quarter, representing an increase of $57.6 million, or 42.7%, over the prior year quarter. During the quarter, we closed 31 transactions with license bookings over $1 million (with total license bookings of $122.1 million) compared to 19 transactions with license bookings over $1 million (with total license bookings of $64.2 million ) in the prior year quarter.

• Within our ESM segment, where we believe performance is best evaluated on the basis of license bookings, total license bookings for the quarter were relatively flat as compared to the prior year quarter. Within our MSM segment, where we believe performance is best evaluated based on total and annualized bookings over a trailing twelve months basis, total bookings for the trailing twelve months ended on June 30, 2011 increased by $195.5 million, or 24.6%, and on an annualized basis, after normalizing for contract length, increased by $38.9 million, or 14.8%, as compared to the prior year period.

• Total revenue for the quarter was $502.4 million, representing an increase of $41.5 million, or 9.0%, over the prior year quarter. The increase for the quarter was reflective of license, maintenance and professional services revenue increases of $18.3 million, or 10.7%, $10.8 million, or 4.3%, and $12.4 million, or 34.5%, respectively. On a segment basis, total ESM revenue for the quarter increased by $21.8 million, or 7.6%, and total MSM revenue increased by $19.7 million, or 11.3%, over the prior year quarter.

• Operating income for the quarter was $115.1 million, representing an increase of $7.0 million, or 6.5%, over the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $170.5 million, representing an increase of $13.7 million, or 8.7%, over the prior year quarter.

• Net earnings for the quarter were $95.7 million, representing an increase of $2.9 million, or 3.1%, over the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP net earnings for the quarter were $129.3 million, representing an increase of $15.7 million, or 13.8%, over the prior year quarter.

• Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.53, representing an increase of $0.03 per share, or 6.0%, over the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.72, representing an increase of $0.10 per share, or 16.1%, over the prior year quarter.

• Cash flows from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $261.4 million, representing an increase of $94.0 million, or 56.2%, over the prior year quarter. We closed out the quarter with a strong balance sheet at June 30, 2011, including $1.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments and $2.1 billion in deferred revenue.

We continue to invest in our technology leadership, including in the areas of cloud computing, virtualization and software-as-a-service (SaaS). In addition to our ongoing product development efforts, we consummated three strategic acquisitions across both our ESM and MSM segments during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. In our ESM segment, we acquired Coradiant Inc. (Coradiant), which enhances our capabilities in application performance management across enterprise, SaaS and cloud environments, and Aeroprise, Inc. (Aeroprise), which expands our on-premise and SaaS IT Service Management offerings by adding mobility capabilities. Lastly, we completed the purchase of Neon Enterprise Software, LLC’s (Neon) IMS software portfolio which will be integrated with our current IMS offerings to enhance our customer value proposition within our MSM segment.

We also continue to enhance shareholder value by returning cash to shareholders through our stock repurchase program. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased 3.4 million shares for a total value of $180.5 million.

It is important for our investors to understand that a significant portion of our operating expenses is fixed in the short-term and we plan a portion of our expense run-rate based on our expectations of future revenue. In addition, a significant amount of our license transactions are completed during the final weeks and days of each quarter and, therefore, we generally do not know whether revenue has met our expectations until after the end of the quarter. If a shortfall in revenue were to occur in any given quarter, there would be an immediate, and possibly significant, impact to our overall earnings and, most likely, our stock price.

Because our software solutions are designed for and marketed to companies looking to improve the management of their IT infrastructure and processes, demand for our products, and therefore our financial results, are dependent upon corporations continuing to value such solutions and to invest in such technology. There are a number of trends that have historically influenced demand for IT management software, including, among others, business demands placed on IT, computing capacity within IT departments, complexity of IT systems and IT operational costs. Our financial results are also influenced by many economic and industry conditions, including, but not limited to, general economic and market conditions in the United States and other economies in which we market products, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, general levels of corporate spending, IT budgets, the competitiveness of the IT management software and solutions industry, the adoption rate for Business Service Management and the stability of the mainframe market.

Software License Revenue

License revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $189.5 million, an increase of $18.3 million, or 10.7%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable to increases in our ESM and MSM segment license revenues, as further discussed below. Recognition of license revenue that was deferred in prior periods increased $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year quarter. Of the license revenue transactions recorded, the percentage of license revenue recognized upfront was 45% in the current quarter as compared to 56% in the prior year quarter.

ESM license revenue was $118.5 million, or 62.5%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and $113.2 million, or 66.1%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. ESM license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $5.3 million, or 4.7%, over the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the recognition of previously deferred license revenue, along with an increase in the amount of upfront license revenue recognized in connection with new transactions.

MSM license revenue was $71.0 million, or 37.5%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and $58.0 million, or 33.9%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. MSM license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $13.0 million, or 22.4%, over the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the amount of upfront license revenue recognized in connection with new transactions, along with an increase in the recognition of previously deferred license revenue.

Deferred License Revenue

For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our recognized license revenue was impacted by the changes in our deferred license revenue balance as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
	(In millions)
Deferrals of license revenue	$	106.1		$	58.8
Recognition from deferred license revenue		(104.3	)		(94.3	)
Impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes		1.2			(0.8	)
Net increase (decrease) in deferred license revenue	$	3.0		$	(36.3	)
Deferred license revenue balance at end of period	$	689.1		$	587.9

The primary reasons for license revenue deferrals include, but are not limited to, customer transactions that include products for which the maintenance pricing is based on a combination of undiscounted license list prices, net license fees or discounted license list prices, certain arrangements that include unlimited licensing rights, time-based licenses that are recognized over the term of the arrangement, customer transactions that include products with differing maintenance periods and other transactions for which we do not have or are not able to determine vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the maintenance and/or professional services. The contract terms and conditions that result in deferral of revenue recognition for a given transaction result from arm’s length negotiations between us and our customers. We anticipate our transactions will continue to include such contract terms that result in deferral of the related license revenue as we expand our offerings to meet customers’ product, pricing and licensing needs.

19

Once it is determined that license revenue for a particular contract must be deferred, based on the contractual terms and application of revenue recognition policies to those terms, we recognize such license revenue either ratably over the term of the contract or when the revenue recognition criteria are met. Because of this, we generally know the timing of the subsequent recognition of license revenue at the time of deferral. Therefore, the amount of license revenue to be recognized out of the deferred revenue balance in each future quarter is generally predictable. At June 30, 2011, the deferred license revenue balance was $689.1 million. Estimated future recognition from deferred license revenue at June 30, 2011 is (in millions):

Remainder of fiscal 2012	$	264.4
Fiscal 2013		211.5
Fiscal 2014 and thereafter		213.2
	$	689.1

Software Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $264.6 million, an increase of $10.8 million, or 4.3%, over the prior year quarter, due to increases in both ESM and MSM maintenance revenue, as discussed below.

ESM maintenance revenue was $141.2 million, or 53.4%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $137.1 million, or 54.0%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. ESM maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $4.1 million, or 3.0%, over the prior year quarter.

MSM maintenance revenue was $123.4 million, or 46.6%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $116.7 million, or 46.0%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. MSM maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $6.7 million, or 5.7%, over the prior year quarter.

Deferred Maintenance Revenue

At June 30, 2011, the deferred maintenance revenue balance was $1.3 billion. Estimated future recognition from deferred maintenance revenue at June 30, 2011 is (in millions):

Remainder of fiscal 2012	$	590.3

We estimate that the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our international revenue resulted in an approximate $9.1 million increase in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year quarter, on a constant currency basis.

Domestic License Revenue

Domestic license revenue was $85.3 million, or 45.0%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and $87.6 million, or 51.2%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Domestic license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $2.3 million, or 2.6%, from the prior year quarter, due to a $5.0 million decrease in ESM license revenue, offset by a $2.7 million increase in MSM license revenue.

International License Revenue

International license revenue was $104.2 million, or 55.0%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $83.6 million or 48.8%, of our total license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

International license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $20.6 million, or 24.6%, over the prior year quarter, due to a $10.3 million increase in ESM license revenue and a $10.3 million increase in MSM license revenue. The ESM license revenue increase was attributable to increases of $6.2 million and $3.4 million in our Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific markets, respectively, and a combined net increase of $0.7 million in our other international markets. The MSM license revenue increase was attributable to increases of $5.5 million and $3.6 million in our EMEA and Latin America markets, respectively, and a combined net increase of $1.2 million in our other international markets.

Domestic Maintenance Revenue

Domestic maintenance revenue was $141.6 million, or 53.5%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $139.8 million, or 55.1%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Domestic maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $1.8 million, or 1.3%, over the prior year quarter, due to a $1.8 million increase in ESM maintenance revenue. MSM maintenance revenue remained relatively flat as compared to the prior year quarter.

International Maintenance Revenue

International maintenance revenue was $123.0 million, or 46.5%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $114.0 million, or 44.9%, of our total maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

International maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $9.0 million, or 7.9%, over the prior year quarter, due to a $2.3 million increase in ESM maintenance revenue and a $6.7 million increase in MSM maintenance revenue. The ESM maintenance revenue increase was attributable to an increase of $1.6 million in our Asia Pacific market and a combined net increase of $0.7 million in our other international markets. The MSM maintenance revenue increase was attributable to increases of $3.0 million and $2.7 million in our EMEA and Latin America markets, respectively, and a combined net increase of $1.0 million in our other international markets.

Professional Services Revenue

Professional services revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $12.4 million, or 34.5%, over the prior year quarter, which is reflective of a $4.1 million, or 23.2%, increase in domestic professional services revenue and an $8.3 million, or 45.6%, increase in international professional services revenue. These increases were attributable primarily to increases in implementation, consulting and education services revenue period over period, principally due to the expansion of our ESM business including increased demand for cloud implementation.

We estimate that the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our international operating expenses resulted in an approximate $12.3 million reduction in operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year quarter, on a constant currency basis.

Cost of License Revenue

Cost of license revenue consists primarily of the amortization of capitalized software costs for internally developed products, the amortization of acquired technology for products acquired through business combinations, license-based royalties to third parties and production and distribution costs for initial product licenses. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of license revenue was $38.3 million, or 7.6%, and $31.9 million, or 6.9%, of total revenue, respectively, and 20.2% and 18.6% of license revenue, respectively.

Cost of license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $6.4 million, or 20.1%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable primarily to a $5.8 million increase in the amortization of capitalized software development costs.

Cost of Maintenance Revenue

Cost of maintenance revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with customer support and research and development personnel that provide maintenance, enhancement and support services to our customers. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of maintenance revenue was $43.8 million, or 8.7%, and $40.7 million, or 8.8%, of total revenue, respectively, and 16.6% and 16.0% of maintenance revenue, respectively.

Cost of maintenance revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $3.1 million, or 7.6%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable primarily to a $1.6 million increase in third party maintenance outsourcing costs and a $1.2 million increase in share-based compensation expense.

Cost of Professional Services Revenue

Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of salaries, related personnel costs and third party fees associated with implementation, consulting and education services that we provide to our customers and the related infrastructure to support this business. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of professional services revenue was $47.4 million, or 9.4%, and $37.0 million, or 8.0%, of total revenue, respectively, and 98.1% and 103.1% of professional services revenue, respectively.

Cost of professional services revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $10.4 million, or 28.1%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable to a $6.1 million increase in third party subcontracting fees, a $3.0 million increase in professional services enablement personnel costs and a $1.3 million net increase in other expenses, commensurate with increases in professional services revenue.

22

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, related personnel costs, sales commissions and costs associated with advertising, marketing, industry trade shows and sales seminars. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, selling and marketing expenses were $144.7 million, or 28.8%, and $142.1 million, or 30.8%, of total revenue, respectively.

Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $2.6 million, or 1.8%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable to a $2.3 million increase in sales personnel costs, principally due to an increase in variable compensation expense as a result of increased revenue, and a $2.1 million increase in marketing campaign expenditures, offset by a $1.8 million net decrease in other expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs (including third party subcontracting fees) related to software developers and development support personnel, including product management, software programmers, testing and quality assurance personnel and writers of technical documentation, such as product manuals and installation guides. These expenses also include computer hardware and software costs, telecommunications costs and personnel costs associated with our development and production labs. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, research and development expenses were $44.7 million, or 8.9%, and $38.5 million, or 8.4%, of total revenue, respectively.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $6.2 million, or 16.1%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable primarily to a $5.6 million increase in research and development personnel and related costs, including third party subcontracting fees.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs of executive management, finance and accounting, facilities management, legal and human resources. Other costs included in general and administrative expenses include fees paid for outside accounting and legal services, consulting projects and insurance. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general and administrative expenses were $58.6 million, or 11.7%, and $54.2 million, or 11.8%, of total revenue, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $4.4 million, or 8.1%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable to a $3.1 million increase in personnel costs and a $1.3 million net increase in other expenses.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets consists of the amortization of customer relationships and other intangible assets recorded in connection with our business combinations. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization of intangible assets was $9.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Amortization of intangible assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $1.4 million, or 16.7%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable primarily to amortization associated with intangible assets acquired in connection with our fiscal 2011 and 2012 acquisitions, offset by a reduction in amortization associated with intangible assets acquired in connection with past acquisitions that became fully amortized.

Other Income (Loss), Net

Other income (loss), net, consists primarily of interest earned, realized gains and losses on investments and interest expense on our senior unsecured notes due 2018 and capital leases.

Other income (loss), net, for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was a loss of $1.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively. This change was attributable primarily to a $1.7 million increase in interest income, a $1.1 million improvement in net gains (losses) on investments and a $1.2 million decrease in net foreign currency losses as compared to the prior year quarter.

23

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $17.8 million and $9.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 15.7% and 9.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with earnings from lower tax rate jurisdictions throughout the world and our policy of indefinitely reinvesting earnings from certain jurisdictions (primarily in Europe), as well as due to additional accruals, changes in estimates, releases and settlements with taxing authorities related to our uncertain tax positions and benefits associated with income attributable to both domestic production activities and the extraterritorial income exclusion. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the overall favorable effect of foreign tax rates on our effective tax rate was 12.0% and 10.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also recorded discrete net tax benefits of $6.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, associated with tax authority settlements related to prior years’ tax matters which favorably impacted our effective tax rate by 5.5% and 13.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in our quarterly earnings press releases and other public disclosures. The primary non-GAAP financial measures we focus on are: (i) non-GAAP operating income, (ii) non-GAAP net earnings, and (iii) non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expense; the amortization of intangible assets; severance, exit costs and related charges; as well as the related tax impacts of these items; and certain discrete tax items. Each of the non-GAAP adjustments is described in more detail below. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is also included below.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results because they exclude amounts that BMC management and the Board of Directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing the performance of the organization. In addition, we have historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures and we believe that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management.

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Items such as share-based compensation expense; the amortization of intangible assets; severance, exit costs and related charges; as well as the related tax impacts of these items; and certain discrete tax items that are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on net earnings. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net earnings, cash flow from operations or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures below.

*	Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is computed independently for each period presented. The sum of GAAP diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP adjustments per share may not equal non-GAAP diluted earnings per share due to rounding differences.
(1)	Share-based compensation expense. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the compensation expenses required to be recorded by GAAP for equity awards to employees and directors. Management and the Board of Directors believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, excluding expenses related to share-based compensation, because these costs are generally fixed at the time an award is granted, are then expensed over several years and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management once granted.
(2)	Amortization of intangible assets. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with the amortization of intangible assets, which are included in cost of license revenue and amortization of intangible assets in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Management and the Board of Directors believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, excluding amortization of intangible assets, because these costs are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition.
(3)	Severance, exit costs and related charges. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude severance, exit costs and related charges, and any subsequent changes in estimates, as they relate to our corporate restructuring activities. Management and the Board of Directors believe it is useful in evaluating corporate performance during a particular time period to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, excluding severance, exit costs and related charges, in order to provide comparability and consistency with historical operating results.

25

(4)

Provision for income taxes on above pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the tax impact of the above pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. This amount is calculated using the tax rates of each country to which these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments relate. Management excludes the non-GAAP adjustments on a net-of-tax basis in evaluating our performance. Therefore, we exclude the tax impact of these charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

(5)

Certain discrete tax items. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude net tax benefits of $6.2 million and $14.0 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, associated with tax authority settlements related to prior years’ tax matters. Management excludes the impact of these items in evaluating our performance. Therefore, we exclude these items when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2011, we had $1.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments, approximately 52.7% of which was held by our international subsidiaries and was largely generated from our international operations. Our international operations have generated $513.0 million of earnings that we have determined will be invested indefinitely in those operations. If such earnings were to be repatriated, we would incur a United States federal income tax liability that is not currently accrued in our financial statements. We also had outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds and similar instruments at June 30, 2011 of approximately $37.1 million primarily in support of performance obligations to various customers, but also related to facilities and other obligations.

At June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we held auction rate securities with a par value of $29.6 million and $29.8 million, respectively, which were classified as available-for-sale. The total estimated fair value of our auction rate securities was $26.8 million and $27.2 million at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Our auction rate securities consist entirely of bonds issued by public agencies that are backed by student loans with at least a 97% guarantee by the federal government under the United States Department of Education’s Federal Family Education Loan Program. All of these bonds are currently rated investment grade by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. Auctions for these securities began failing in early 2008 and have continued to fail, resulting in our continuing to hold such securities and the issuers paying interest at the maximum contractual rates. We do not believe that any of the underlying issuers of these auction rate securities are presently at risk of default or that the underlying credit quality of the assets backing the auction rate security investments has been impacted by the reduced liquidity of these investments. Based on our current ability to access cash and other short-term investments, our expected operating cash flows and other sources of cash that we expect to be available, we do not anticipate that the lack of liquidity of these investments will have a material impact on our business strategy, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Periodically, the issuers of certain of our auction rate securities have redeemed portions of our holdings at par value plus accrued interest. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, issuers redeemed available-for-sale holdings of $0.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively, and trading holdings of $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

In November 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with certain institutional lenders providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an amount up to $400.0 million which is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2014 (the Credit Facility). Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, we may invite existing and new lenders to increase the size of the Credit Facility up to a maximum of $600.0 million. The Credit Facility includes provisions for swing line loans of up to $25.0 million and standby letters of credit of up to $50.0 million. Revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (i) the base rate (as defined) plus a margin based on the credit ratings of BMC’s senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the Senior Notes), or (ii) the LIBOR rate (as defined) plus a margin based on the credit ratings of BMC’s Senior Notes, for interest periods of one, two, three or six months. As of June 30, 2011 and through July 27, 2011, we have not borrowed any funds under the Credit Facility.

We believe that our existing cash and investment balances, funds generated from operating activities and available credit under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working and other capital requirements for the foreseeable future. In the normal course of business, we evaluate the merits of acquiring technology or businesses, or establishing strategic relationships with or investing in these businesses. We may elect to use available cash and investments to fund such activities in the future. In the event additional needs for cash arise, we might find it advantageous to utilize third party financing sources based on factors such as our then available cash and its source (i.e., cash held in the United States versus international locations), the cost of financing and our internal cost of capital.

We may from time to time seek to repurchase or retire securities, including outstanding borrowings and equity securities, in open market repurchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as will comply with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the rules and regulations thereunder. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and contractual restrictions, if applicable. The amount of repurchases, which is subject to management discretion, may be material and may change from period to period.

Our cash flows for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	261.4		$	167.4

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		5.6			(9.8	)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(78.0	)	$	41.4

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our primary method for funding operations and growth has been through cash flows generated from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $94.0 million over the prior year period, attributable to an increase in net earnings before non-cash expenses (principally depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense) and the net impact of working capital changes.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $178.2 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $32.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. This difference was attributable primarily to an increase in cash expended for our acquisitions of Coradiant, Aeroprise and Neon’s IMS software portfolio and a decrease in proceeds from the sales and maturities of investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by $18.2 million over the prior year period. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in treasury stock acquired, offset primarily by an increase in proceeds from stock option exercises.

Treasury Stock Purchases

Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of $4.0 billion to repurchase common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we purchased 3.4 million shares for $180.5 million. From the inception of the stock repurchase authorization through June 30, 2011, we have purchased 136.2 million shares for $3.5 billion. At June 30, 2011, there was $450.2 million remaining in the stock repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased 0.4 million shares for $21.7 million to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of share-based awards. The repurchase of stock will continue to be funded primarily with cash generated from domestic operations and, therefore, affects our overall domestic versus international liquidity balances. See PART II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds below for a monthly detail of treasury stock purchases for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an on-going basis, we make and evaluate estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, capitalized software development costs, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of investments and accounting for income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the carrying values of assets and the recorded amounts of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. We have discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed our related disclosures. The critical accounting policies related to the estimates and judgments are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011 under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance for intangible assets, specifically related to the annual goodwill impairment test. This guidance requires entities to perform a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired in situations where reporting units have a carrying value that is zero or negative. If the qualitative evaluation determines it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, step two of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fiscal 2012 goodwill impairment test and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that include both software and non-software related deliverables. This guidance requires entities to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of VSOE or other third party evidence of the selling price. Additionally, the guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for fair value measurements, primarily clarifying existing guidance and adding new disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance requires entities to disclose quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 measurements, and to provide additional qualitative information regarding the valuation process in place for Level 3 measurements and the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs used. This new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, the impact of changes in interest rates on our investments and long-term borrowings and changes in market prices of our debt and equity securities. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage these risks including the use of derivative instruments. There have been no material changes in our foreign currency exchange rate risk management strategy or our portfolio management strategy subsequent to March 31, 2011; therefore, the risk profile of our market risk sensitive instruments remains substantially unchanged from the description in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

(5) Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $17.8 million and $9.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 15.7% and 9.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with earnings from lower tax rate jurisdictions throughout the world and our policy of indefinitely reinvesting earnings from certain jurisdictions (primarily in Europe), as well as due to additional accruals, changes in estimates, releases and settlements with taxing authorities related to our uncertain tax positions and benefits associated with income attributable to both domestic production activities and the extraterritorial income exclusion. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the overall favorable effect of foreign tax rates on our effective tax rate was 12.0% and 10.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also recorded discrete net tax benefits of $6.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, associated with tax authority settlements related to prior years’ tax matters which favorably impacted our effective tax rate by 5.5% and 13.7% of pre-tax earnings, respectively. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory rates.

We file a federal income tax return in the United States as well as income tax returns in various local, state and foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years are closed with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the tax year ended March 31, 2005. The IRS has completed the audit of our tax years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 and all issues except one related to the year ended March 31, 2006 have been resolved. We received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS related to this issue and in July 2011 filed a petition for hearing with the U.S. Tax Court. The IRS has completed its examination of our federal income tax return for the tax year ended March 31, 2008, and there were no un-agreed issues. In addition, certain tax years related to local, state and foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination. To provide for potential tax exposures, we maintain a liability for unrecognized tax benefits which we believe is adequate.

Share-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

(6) Share-Based Compensation

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we granted 1.4 million nonvested stock units at a weighted average grant price of $53.64 to our executive officers and non-executive employees, consisting of both time-based and market-based awards. Time-based nonvested stock units vest in annual increments over three years. Market-based nonvested stock units vest in 50% increments over two- and three-year periods upon achievement of certain targets related to our relative shareholder return as compared to the NASDAQ-100 Index over each performance period.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we issued 0.9 million shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options and 1.2 million shares of common stock related to vesting of restricted stock units.

At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $244.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards that are expected to be recognized as expense over a remaining weighted-average period of two years.

Share-based compensation expense as recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations is summarized as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
	(In millions)
Cost of license revenue	$	1.1	$	0.8

Stockholders' Equity

3 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

(7) Stockholders’ Equity

Earnings Per Share

The two-class method is utilized for the computation of earnings per share (EPS). The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, if declared. Income allocated to these participating securities is excluded from net earnings allocated to common shares, as shown in the table below.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes our basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
	(In millions, except per share data)
Basic earnings per share:
Net earnings	$	95.7	$	92.8
Less earnings allocated to participating securities		—		(0.1	)
Net earnings allocated to common shares	$	95.7	$	92.7
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		176.3		180.3
Basic earnings per share	$	0.54	$	0.51
Diluted earnings per share:
Net earnings	$	95.7	$	92.8
Less earnings allocated to participating securities		—		(0.1	)
Net earnings allocated to common shares	$	95.7	$	92.7
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		176.3		180.3
Incremental shares from assumed conversions of share-based awards		4.3		3.5
Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding		180.6		183.8
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.53	$	0.50

For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 0.3 million and 4.0 million weighted average potential common shares, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as they were anti-dilutive.

Treasury Stock

Our Board of Directors has authorized a total of $4.0 billion to repurchase common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased 3.4 million shares for $180.5 million under the stock repurchase program. At June 30, 2011, approximately $450.2 million remains authorized in the stock repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased 0.4 million shares for $21.7 million to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of share-based awards.

Guarantees and Contingencies

Guarantees and Contingencies [Abstract]

Guarantees and Contingencies

(8) Guarantees and Contingencies

Guarantees

Under our standard software license agreements, we agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our licensees from and against certain losses, damages and costs arising from claims alleging the licensees’ use of our software infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Also, under these standard license agreements, we represent and warrant to licensees that our software products operate substantially in accordance with published specifications.

Other guarantees include promises to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of our executive officers, non-employee directors and certain key employees from and against losses, damages and costs incurred by each such individual in administrative, legal or investigative proceedings arising from alleged wrongdoing by the individual while acting in good faith within the scope of his or her job duties on our behalf.

We also had outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds and similar instruments at June 30, 2011 of approximately $37.1 million primarily in support of performance obligations to various customers, but also related to facilities and other obligations.

Historically, we have not incurred significant costs related to such indemnifications, warranties and guarantees. As such, and based on other factors, no provision or accrual for these items has been made.

Contingencies

We are subject to intellectual property claims and legal proceedings, including claims of alleged infringement of patents asserted by third parties against us in the form of claim letters. These claims are in various stages, may result in formal legal proceedings against us, and may not be fully resolved in the near future. We cannot currently predict the timing or ultimate outcome, nor estimate a range of loss, if any, for such claims.

In December 2010, a lawsuit was filed against a number of software companies, including us, by Uniloc USA, Inc. and Uniloc Singapore Private Limited in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. The complaint seeks monetary damages in unspecified amounts and permanent injunction based upon claims for alleged patent infringement. While we intend to vigorously defend this matter, because it is in the early stages of discovery and involves a number of parties, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome, nor estimate a range of loss, if any, for this matter.

We are party to various labor claims brought by certain former international employees alleging that amounts are due to such employees for unpaid commissions and other compensation. The claims are in various stages and are not expected to be fully resolved in the near future; however, we intend to vigorously contest all of the claims. Taking into account accruals recorded by us, we do not believe the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of these matters.

We are currently litigating a matter in Brazilian courts as to whether a tax applies to the remittance of software payments from our Brazilian operations. In February 2007, a law was enacted that clarified that this particular tax did not apply to the remittance of software payments, retroactive to January 1, 2006. We continue to pursue a favorable resolution on this matter for years prior to January 1, 2006. While we believe we will ultimately prevail based on the merits of our position, if we do not, we could incur a charge of up to approximately $14 million; however, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of this matter.

We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Taking into account accruals recorded by us, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

We are organized into two business segments, Enterprise Service Management (ESM) and Mainframe Service Management (MSM). The ESM segment derives its revenue from our service support, service assurance and service automation solutions, along with professional services revenue derived from consulting, implementation, integration and educational services related to our software products. The MSM segment derives its revenue from products for mainframe database management, monitoring and automation, middleware management, enterprise scheduling and output management solutions.

Segment performance is measured based on segment operating income, reflecting segment revenue less direct and allocated indirect segment operating expenses. Direct segment operating expenses primarily include cost of revenue, selling and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses that can be specifically identified to a particular segment and are directly controllable by segment management, while allocated indirect segment operating expenses primarily include indirect costs within these operating expense categories that are not specifically identified to a particular segment or controllable by segment management. The indirect operating expenses are allocated to the segments based on budgeted bookings, revenue and other allocation methods that management believes to be reasonable. Our measure of segment operating income does not include the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other intangible assets or the costs associated with severance, exit costs and related charges, which are collectively included in unallocated operating expenses below. Assets and liabilities are reviewed by management at the consolidated level only.

The following tables summarize segment performance for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

(10) New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for fair value measurements, primarily clarifying existing guidance and adding new disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance requires entities to disclose quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 measurements, and to provide additional qualitative information regarding the valuation process in place for Level 3 measurements and the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs used. This new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance for intangible assets, specifically related to the annual goodwill impairment test. This guidance requires entities to perform a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired in situations where reporting units have a carrying value that is zero or negative. If the qualitative evaluation determines it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, step two of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fiscal 2012 goodwill impairment test and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that include both software and non-software related deliverables. This guidance requires entities to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) or other third party evidence of the selling price. Additionally, the guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BMC Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, we, us, our or BMC). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented herein. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Our results generally tend to be stronger in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, as compared to the first and second quarters of our fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance for intangible assets, specifically related to the annual goodwill impairment test. This guidance requires entities to perform a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired in situations where reporting units have a carrying value that is zero or negative. If the qualitative evaluation determines it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, step two of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fiscal 2012 goodwill impairment test and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that include both software and non-software related deliverables. This guidance requires entities to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) or other third party evidence of the selling price. Additionally, the guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2) Business Combinations

In April 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Coradiant Inc. (Coradiant), a global provider of end-to-end performance management of web applications, for total cash consideration of $130.0 million. Coradiant’s operating results have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. This acquisition expands BMC’s current application performance management offering to provide real-time insight into application performance and its impact on user behavior across enterprise, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud environments. The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities consisting primarily of $18.1 million of acquired technology and $22.7 million of customer relationships, both with a weighted average economic life of three years, in addition to other tangible assets and liabilities. This acquisition resulted in a preliminary allocation of $93.2 million to goodwill assigned to our Enterprise Service Management (ESM) segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in goodwill include, but are not limited to, the retention of research and development personnel with the skills to develop future Coradiant technology, support personnel to provide maintenance services related to Coradiant products and a trained sales force capable of selling current and future Coradiant products and the opportunity to cross-sell our products and Coradiant products to existing customers.

In June 2011, we also completed the acquisitions of Aeroprise, Inc. (Aeroprise), a provider of mobile IT service management solutions, as part of our ESM segment, and Neon Enterprise Software, LLC’s (Neon) portfolio of IMS solution software as part of our Mainframe Service Management (MSM) segment, for combined purchase consideration of $21.0 million. The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities consisting primarily of $17.3 million of acquired technology, with weighted average economic lives of approximately three years, in addition to other tangible assets and liabilities. These acquisitions resulted in a preliminary allocation of $7.6 million to goodwill assigned to our ESM segment.

We are in the process of finalizing our assessment of the fair value of acquired intangible assets and will adjust the purchase price allocations when finalized.

(3) Financial Instruments

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis using the following valuation techniques:

(A) Market approach — Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

(B) Income approach — Uses valuation techniques to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, using present value techniques.

The fair values of our financial instruments were determined using the following input levels and valuation techniques:

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
				Quoted Prices in Active					Significant

Level 1 classification is applied to any asset or liability that has a readily available quoted market price from an active market where there is significant transparency in the executed/quoted price.

Level 2 classification is applied to assets and liabilities that have evaluated prices where the data inputs to these valuations are observable either directly or indirectly, but do not represent quoted market prices from an active market.

Level 3 classification is applied to assets and liabilities when prices are not derived from existing market data and requires us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would value the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the activity in Level 3 financial instruments for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

At June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we held auction rate securities with a par value of $29.6 million and $29.8 million, respectively, which were classified as available-for-sale. The total estimated fair value of our auction rate securities was $26.8 million and $27.2 million at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Our auction rate securities consist entirely of bonds issued by public agencies that are backed by student loans with at least a 97% guarantee by the federal government under the United States Department of Education’s Federal Family Education Loan Program. All of these bonds are currently rated investment grade by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. Auctions for these securities began failing in early 2008 and have continued to fail, resulting in our continuing to hold such securities and the issuers paying interest at the maximum contractual rates. We do not believe that any of the underlying issuers of these auction rate securities are presently at risk of default or that the underlying credit quality of the assets backing the auction rate security investments has been impacted by the reduced liquidity of these investments. Due to the illiquidity in the auction rate securities market caused by failed auctions, we estimated the fair value of these securities and the put option discussed below using internally developed models of the expected cash flows of the securities which incorporate assumptions about the expected cash flows of the underlying student loans and estimates of the rate of return required by investors, which includes an adjustment to reflect a lack of liquidity in the market for these securities. Periodically, the issuers of certain of our auction rate securities have redeemed portions of our holdings at par value plus accrued interest. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, issuers redeemed available-for-sale holdings of $0.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively, and trading holdings of $5.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

In November 2008, we entered into a put agreement with a bank from which we acquired certain auction rate securities. On July 1, 2010, we exercised our right under this agreement to put the remaining securities subject to this agreement, with $11.2 million par value, to the bank. The auction rate securities subject to the put were classified as short-term investments and trading securities and, accordingly, any changes in the fair value of these securities were recognized in earnings. In addition, we elected the option under GAAP to record the put option at fair value. The fair value adjustments to these auction rate securities and the related put option, prior to the exercise of the put on July 1, 2010, resulted in minimal net impact to the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

The unrealized loss on our available-for-sale auction rate securities, which have a fair value of $26.8 million at June 30, 2011, was $2.8 million and was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as we believe the decline in fair value of these auction rate securities is temporary. In making this determination, we primarily considered the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, the probability scheduled cash flows will continue to be made and the likelihood we would be required to sell the investments before recovery of our cost basis. These available-for-sale auction rate securities have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. Because of the uncertainty related to the timing of liquidity associated with these auction rate securities, these securities are classified as long-term investments at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate globally and transact business in various foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposures relate primarily to certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily non-U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable, cash and intercompany balances held by U.S. dollar functional currency entities. To minimize the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we have established a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Gains or losses on our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts entered into under this program. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have terms of one month or less and are generally entered into at the prevailing market exchange rate at the end of each month. We do not use forward contracts for speculative purposes. While these foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge foreign currency exposures, they are not formally designated as hedges, and therefore, the changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized currently in earnings. We record these foreign currency forward contracts at fair value as either assets or liabilities depending on their net settlement position with each respective counterparty at the balance sheet date.

The fair value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that closed in a gain position at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was $1.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and was recorded within other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that closed in a loss position at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was $2.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and was recorded within accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The notional amounts at contract exchange rates of our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding were:

	Notional Amount

	2011		2011
	(In millions)
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts (receive United States dollar/pay foreign currency)

Swiss franc		3.9		1.5
South Korean won		3.8		4.6
Norwegian krone		3.6		2.0
Danish krone		3.6		3.0
Canadian dollar		—		4.2
Other		5.0		4.2
Total	$	278.4	$	213.0
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts (pay United States dollar/receive foreign currency)

Indian rupee		7.7		9.1
Mexican peso		6.2		9.3
Other		3.8		2.2
Total	$	179.6	$	172.2

Our use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is intended to principally offset gains and losses associated with foreign currency exposures. Therefore, the notional amounts and currencies underlying our foreign currency forward contracts will fluctuate period to period as they are principally dependent on the balances and currency denomination of monetary assets and liabilities maintained by our global entities. The effect of the foreign currency forward contracts for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, was a loss of $3.7 million and a gain of $11.5 million, respectively, which, after including gains and losses on our foreign currency exposures, resulted in a net loss of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, recorded in interest and other income, net.

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but we do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. In addition, we diversify this risk across several counterparties and utilize netting agreements to mitigate the counterparty credit risk.

Trade Finance Receivables

A substantial portion of our trade finance receivables are transferred to financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We utilize wholly-owned finance subsidiaries in these finance receivables transfers. These entities are consolidated into our financial position and results of operations. We account for such transfers as sales in accordance with applicable accounting rules pertaining to the transfer of financial assets and the sale of future revenue when we have surrendered control of such receivables (including determining that such assets have been isolated beyond our reach and the reach of our creditors) and when we do not have significant continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due the financial institutions. During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we transferred $11.1 million and $109.0 million, respectively, of such receivables through these programs. Finance receivables are typically transferred within several months after origination and the outstanding principal balance at the time of transfer typically approximates fair value.

For those finance receivables not transferred, we evaluate the credit risk of finance receivables in our portfolio based on regional characteristics specific to the risk climate in each of our geographic operations as well as based on internal credit quality indicators for individual receivables. We evaluate the credit risk of finance receivables using an internal credit rating system based on whether an individual receivable meets specific internal criteria including counterparty credit rating and receivable maturity date and assign an internal credit rating of 1, 2 or 3, with a credit rating of 1 representing the best credit quality.

For all regions and credit categories, a finance receivable will be specifically reserved once deemed uncollectible. As of June 30, 2011, we held $231.8 million of finance receivables, net of $0.3 million of specific receivables which have been fully reserved.

At June 30, 2011, our finance receivables balance, net of allowance, by region and by class of internal credit rating is as follows:

	North America		EMEA		Asia Pacific		Latin America		Total
	(In millions)
Class 1	$	107.2	$	38.8	$	17.9	$	0.5	$	164.4
Class 2		24.1		34.8		2.2		1.5		62.6
Class 3		1.2		1.2		0.9		1.5		4.8
Balance at the end of the period	$	132.5	$	74.8	$	21.0	$	3.5	$	231.8

Other Financial Instruments

The fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2018 at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, based on market prices, was $348.2 million and $348.9 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $298.8 million and $298.7 million, respectively.

The carrying values of all other financial instruments, consisting primarily of trade and finance receivables, accounts payable and other borrowings, approximate their respective fair values.

In November 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with certain institutional lenders providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an amount up to $400.0 million which is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2014 (the Credit Facility). Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, we may invite existing and new lenders to increase the size of the Credit Facility up to a maximum of $600.0 million. The Credit Facility includes provisions for swing line loans of up to $25.0 million and standby letters of credit of up to $50.0 million. Revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (i) the base rate (as defined) plus a margin based on the credit ratings of BMC’s senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the Senior Notes), or (ii) the LIBOR rate (as defined) plus a margin based on the credit ratings of BMC’s Senior Notes, for interest periods of one, two, three or six months. As of June 30, 2011 and through July 27, 2011, we have not borrowed any funds under the Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
