Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Tables in thousands, except per share data)
(1)   Basis of Presentation
 
    We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted for interim periods. Balance sheet amounts are as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and operating result amounts are for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that we considered necessary for the fair summarized presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read the financial statements and notes included in our latest Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.
 
    Although we have a number of divisions, separate segment data has not been presented as they meet the criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” to be presented as one segment.
 
    In addition, certain other amounts for the previous year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
(2)   Revenue Recognition
 
    We recognize revenue related to our software arrangements pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations, as well as the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” We recognize revenue on our appraisal services contracts using the proportionate performance method of accounting, with considerations for the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”
 
    Software Arrangements:
 
    We earn revenue from software licenses, post-contract customer support (“PCS” or “maintenance”), software related services and hardware. PCS includes telephone support, bug fixes, and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if available basis. We provide services that range from installation, training, and basic consulting to software modification and customization to meet specific customer needs. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, specified upgrades, PCS, and/or other services, we allocate the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each.
 
    We typically enter into multiple element arrangements, which include software licenses, software services, PCS and occasionally hardware. The majority of our software arrangements are multiple element arrangements, but for those arrangements that include customization or significant modification of the software, or where software services are otherwise considered essential to the functionality of the software in the customer’s environment, we use contract accounting and apply the provisions of SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction — Type and Certain Production — Type Contracts.”
 
    If the arrangement does not require significant modification or customization, revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions are met:
  i.   persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 
  ii.   delivery has occurred;
 
  iii.   our fee is fixed or determinable; and
 
  iv.   collectibility is probable.
    For multiple element arrangements, each element of the arrangement is analyzed and we allocate a portion of the total arrangement fee to the elements based on the fair value of the element using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Fair value is considered the price a customer would be required to pay if the element was sold separately based on our historical experience of stand-alone sales of these elements to

Table of Contents

    third parties. For PCS, we use renewal rates for continued support arrangements to determine fair value. For software services, we use the fair value we charge our customers when those services are sold separately. In software arrangements in which we have the fair value of all undelivered elements but not of a delivered element, we apply the “residual method” as allowed under SOP 98-9 in accounting for any element of a multiple element arrangement involving software that remains undelivered such that any discount inherent in a contract is allocated to the delivered element. Under the residual method, if the fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered element(s) and is recognized as revenue assuming the other revenue recognition criteria are met. In software arrangements in which we do not have VSOE for all undelivered elements, revenue is deferred until fair value is determined or all elements for which we do not have VSOE have been delivered. Alternatively, if sufficient VSOE does not exist and the only undelivered element is services that do not involve significant modification or customization of the software, the entire fee is recognized over the period during which the services are expected to be performed.
 
    Software Licenses
 
    A majority of our software arrangements involve “off-the-shelf” software. We consider software to be off-the-shelf software if it can be added to an arrangement with minor changes in the underlying code and it can be used by the customer for the customer’s purpose upon installation. For off-the-shelf software arrangements, we recognize the software license fee as revenue after delivery has occurred, customer acceptance is reasonably assured, that portion of the fee represents a non-refundable enforceable claim and is probable of collection, and the remaining services such as training are not considered essential to the product’s functionality. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, including new customers whose payment terms are three months or more from shipment, revenue is generally recognized as payments become due from the customer.
 
    For arrangements that include significant customization or modification of the software, or where software services are otherwise considered essential, we recognize revenue using contract accounting. We generally use the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenue from these arrangements. We measure progress-to-completion primarily using labor hours incurred, or value added. The percentage-of-completion methodology generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract since we have the ability to produce reasonably dependable estimates of contract billings and contract costs. We use the level of profit margin that is most likely to occur on a contract. If the most likely profit margin cannot be precisely determined, the lowest probable level of profit in the range of estimates is used until the results can be estimated more precisely. These arrangements are often implemented over an extended time period and occasionally require us to revise total cost estimates. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the progress-to-completion measurement after giving effect to any changes in our cost estimates. Changes to total estimated contract costs, if any, are recorded in the period they are determined. Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which we first determine that a loss is apparent. Certain contracts that include significant customization or modification of the software may contain a general right of return that lapses upon customer acceptance. For these contracts we generally recognize revenue upon customer acceptance. This may result in revenue being recognized in irregular increments.
 
    For arrangements that include new product releases for which it is difficult to estimate final profitability except to assume that no loss will ultimately be incurred, we recognize revenue under the completed contract method. Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially complete. Historically these amounts have been immaterial.
 
    Software Services
 
    Some of our software arrangements include services considered essential for the customer to use the software for the customer’s purposes. For these software arrangements, both the software license revenue and the services revenue are recognized as the services are performed using the percentage-of-completion contract accounting method. When software services are not considered essential, the fee allocable to the service element is recognized as revenue as we perform the services.
 
    Computer Hardware Equipment
 
    Revenue allocable to computer hardware equipment, which is based on VSOE, is recognized when we deliver the equipment and collection is probable.

Table of Contents

    Postcontract Customer Support
 
    Our customers generally enter into PCS agreements when they purchase our software licenses. Our PCS agreements are typically renewable annually. Revenue allocated to PCS is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the PCS is provided. All significant costs and expenses associated with PCS are expensed as incurred. Fair value for the maintenance and support obligations for software licenses is based upon the specific sale renewals to customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts.
 
    Appraisal Services:
 
    For our property appraisal projects, we recognize revenue using the proportionate performance method of revenue recognition since many of these projects are implemented over one to three year periods and consist of various unique activities. Under this method of revenue recognition, we identify each activity for the appraisal project, with a typical project generally calling for bonding, office set up, training, routing of map information, data entry, data collection, data verification, informal hearings, appeals and project management. Each activity or act is specifically identified and assigned an estimated cost. Costs which are considered to be associated with indirect activities, such as bonding costs and office set up, are expensed as incurred. These costs are typically billed as incurred and are recognized as revenue equal to cost. Direct contract fulfillment activities and related supervisory costs such as data collection, data entry and verification are expensed as incurred. The direct costs for these activities are determined and the total contract value is then allocated to each activity based on a consistent profit margin. Each activity is assigned a consistent unit of measure to determine progress towards completion and revenue is recognized for each activity based upon the percentage complete as applied to the estimated revenue for that activity. Progress for the fulfillment activities is typically based on labor hours or an output measure such as the number of parcel counts completed for that activity. Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which we first determine that a loss is apparent.
 
    Other:
 
    Deferred revenue consists primarily of unearned support and maintenance revenue that has been billed based on contractual terms in the underlying arrangement with the remaining balance consisting of payments received in advance of revenue being earned under software licensing, software services and hardware installation. Unbilled revenue is not billable at the balance sheet date but is recoverable over the remaining life of the contract through billings made in accordance with contractual agreements. The termination clauses in most of our contracts provide for the payment for the fair value of products delivered and services performed in the event of an early termination.
 
    Prepaid expenses and other current assets include direct and incremental costs, consisting primarily of third party subcontractor payments and commissions associated with arrangements for which revenue recognition has been deferred. Such costs are expensed at the time the related revenue is recognized.
 
(3)   Acquisitions
 
    In late January 2006, we completed the acquisitions of all of the capital stock of MazikUSA, Inc. (“Mazik”) and TACS, Inc. (“TACS”). The total value of these transactions, including transaction costs, was approximately $14.5 million which was comprised of $11.6 million in cash and 325,000 shares of Tyler common stock valued at $2.9 million.
    Mazik provides an integrated software solution for schools that combines the functionalities of student performance monitoring, student tracking, financial accounting, human resources and reporting.
 
    TACS provides pension and retirement software solutions that assist public and private pension institutions in increasing operational efficiency and accuracy.
    The purchase price for each of the acquisitions was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. We acquired assets of approximately $500,000 and assumed liabilities of approximately $1.4 million. We recorded goodwill of $11.9 million, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $3.4 million. The $3.4 million of intangible assets is attributable to acquired software and customer relationships that will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately five years and purchased in-process research and development of $140,000 which we expensed during the first quarter of 2006. Our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 reflects the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated

    fair values at the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired business are included in our results of operations since their respective dates of acquisition in late January 2006.
 
(4)   Shareholders’ Equity
 
    The following table details activity in our common stock:

Shares issued for acquisitions
    325       2,891              
    As of March 31, 2006 we have authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to 1.8 million additional shares of Tyler common stock.
 
(5)   Income Tax Provision
 
    For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had an income tax provision of $1.3 million compared to $330,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The effective income tax rates for the periods presented were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, the qualified manufacturing activities deduction and non-deductible meals and entertainment costs. The effective income tax rate in 2006 is also impacted by non-deductible share-based compensation expense.
 
    We made federal and state income tax payments, net of refunds, of $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $585,000 in net payments for the same period of the prior year.

(7)   Share-Based Compensation
 
    Share-based compensation plan
 
    We have a stock option plan that provides for the grant of stock options to key employees, directors and non-employee consultants. Options become fully exercisable after three to five years of continuous employment and expire ten years after the grant date. Once exercisable, the employee can purchase shares of our common stock at the market price on the date we granted the option. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services, using the modified prospective application transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, includes the applicable amounts of: (a) compensation cost of all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and previously presented in the pro forma footnote disclosures), and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS No. 123R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. For prior periods we applied APB No. 25 and related Interpretations, and provided the required pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Shared-Based Compensation.”
 
    Determining Fair Value Under SFAS No. 123R
 
    Valuation and Amortization Method. We estimate the fair value of share-based awards granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods.
 
    Expected Life. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. We determine the expected life using the “simplified method” in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.
 
    Expected Volatility. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock.
 
    Risk-Free Interest Rate. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.
 
    Expected Dividend Yield. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock in the last ten years and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
 
    Expected Forfeitures. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. We record stock-based compensation only for those awards that are expected to vest.
 
    The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We did not grant any options during the first quarter 2005. A summary of the weighted average assumptions and results for options granted during the first quarter 2006 is as follows:
         
    Three months ended  
    March 31, 2006  
Expected life (in years)

Prior Period Pro Forma Presentations
Prior to 2006, our share-based compensation plan was accounted for using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB No. 25 and related Interpretations. No share-based compensation was reflected in net income in the three months ended March 31, 2005, as all stock options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123R, our net income and basic and diluted net income per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the three months ended March 31, 2005:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) participants may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation to purchase common shares of Tyler. The purchase price of the shares is equal to 85% of the closing price of Tyler shares on the last day of each quarterly offering period. As of March 31, 2006, there were 755,000 shares available for future grants under the ESPP from the 1.0 million shares originally reserved for issuance.
(8) Commitments and Contingencies
On September 9, 2005, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (“ACS”) filed litigation in Dallas County, Texas against thirty-three defendants, including Tyler and John M. Yeaman, our Chairman of the Board (“Yeaman”). The other named defendants include entities affiliated with William D. Oates (“Oates”), a former director of ours, and certain individuals employed by such entities. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that we breached the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 2000 (the “SPA”) between ACS and us pursuant to which we sold to ACS for cash all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Business Resources Corporation (“BRC”), which comprised a significant portion of our then existing property records business. In the SPA, we agreed to certain five-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, which expired on December 29, 2005. In addition, the SPA contained a closing condition pursuant to which Oates agreed to amend his then existing three-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants so that the restricted activities would conform to the language of our restricted activities, which covenants expired on December 29, 2003. The lawsuit alleges that Oates (or entities owned by Oates) solicited ACS employees and re-entered the land records business after the expiration of his three-year covenants, but prior to the expiration of our five-year covenants, and further alleges that we, through our non-compete, are legally responsible for Oates’ actions. The lawsuit further alleges that Oates “controlled Tyler”, “manipulated Tyler”, and was a “legal representative” of ours for a significant, but unspecified, period of time following the sale of BRC, even though Oates has not been a member of our board since 2001, has not been employed by us since the sale of BRC, has had limited contact with our management since the sale of BRC, and to our knowledge, has not owned any stock in us since May 2003. The lawsuit further alleges that we fraudulently induced ACS to enter into the SPA because we allegedly knew that Oates (or entities owned by Oates) would re-enter the land records business after three years, even though the SPA specifically contained different covenants with respect to Oates and us. ACS entered into a settlement agreement with all of the defendants other than Yeaman and us, the terms of which are currently confidential; however, management believes that the settlement agreement extends the non-compete for Oates and his related entities for some period of time.
We vehemently deny all allegations contained in the lawsuit. Management believes that we have not breached any non-competition covenants, have not solicited ACS employees, and have not misappropriated ACS confidential information.

Table of Contents

Management further believes that the “factual” allegations made against us are false and inaccurate and that the legal theories asserted by ACS are without merit. Management further believes based on discovery that has taken place to date that even if the allegations as currently set forth in the petition were true, that ACS has suffered no or nominal damage, particularly in light of the settlement agreement with Oates and his related entities.
We have filed counterclaims against ACS, including claims for business disparagement and defamation, alleging that ACS has published factually inaccurate and defamatory statements about us to third parties, including our customers and prospective customers, with malice and/or negligence regarding the truth of those statements. We intend to defend the lawsuit and pursue our counterclaims vigorously. The future costs associated with such defense and in pursuit of the counterclaims are uncertain and difficult to predict and may be material.
Other than routine litigation incidental to our business and except as described herein, there are no material legal proceedings pending to which we are party or to which any of our properties are subject.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements in this discussion that are not historical statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about our business, financial condition, business strategy, plans and the objectives of our management, and future prospects. In addition, we have made in the past and may make in the future other written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements regarding future operating performance, short- and long-term revenue and earnings growth, the timing of the revenue and earnings impact for new contracts, backlog, the value of new contract signings, business pipeline, and industry growth rates and our performance relative thereto. Any forward-looking statements may rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and be subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These include, but are not limited to: our ability to improve productivity and achieve synergies from acquired businesses; technological risks associated with the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products; changes in the budgets and regulating environments of our government customers; competition in the industry in which we conduct business and the impact of competition on pricing, revenues and margins; with respect to customer contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, the performance of such contracts in accordance with our cost and revenue estimates; our ability to maintain health and other insurance coverage and capacity due to changes in the insurance market and the impact of increasing insurance costs on the results of operations; the costs to attract and retain qualified personnel, changes in product demand, the availability of products, economic conditions, costs of compliance with corporate governance and public disclosure requirements as issued by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and New York Stock Exchange rules, changes in tax risks and other risks indicated in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect Tyler, its management or future financial results, as and when applicable, are discussed in Tyler’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Except to the extent required by law, we are not obligated to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “believes,” “plans,” “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “forecast,” “might,” “could” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions as they relate to Tyler or our management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
GENERAL
We provide integrated information management solutions and services for local governments. We develop and market a broad line of software products and services to address the information technology (IT) needs of cities, counties, schools and other local government entities. In addition, we provide professional IT services to our customers, including software and hardware installation, data conversion, training and for certain customers, product modifications, along with continuing maintenance and support for customers using our systems. We also provide property appraisal outsourcing services for taxing jurisdictions.
In January 2006, we acquired two companies, MazikUSA, Inc. and TACS, Inc. The combined purchase price for the two companies was approximately $14.5 million, comprised of approximately $11.6 million in cash and 325,000 shares of Tyler common stock. See Note 3 in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As disclosed in Note 7 in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements we implemented the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments.” In the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the total share-based compensation expense was $471,000, or 1% of total revenue. The distribution of this expense was $440,000 to selling, general and administrative expense and $31,000 to cost of software services and maintenance.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim periods and require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and amortization

and potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 regarding expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates.
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     Revenues

Software licenses. Change in software license revenues consist of the following components:
  Software license revenue related to financial products, which comprise over 75% of our software license revenues, was up moderately compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. Our financial products division also includes public safety products, which provided almost half of the increase over the prior year period. In the past year we have added sales personnel and a product specialist to expand our presence in the public safety market. Third party software revenue also increased over the comparable prior year period because we sold more financial software modules that utilize third party software. Also, in late 2005 we simplified the implementation process for a certain financial product line which has enabled us to deliver the product more rapidly.
 
  Software license related to our other products in the aggregate experienced strong increases compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 mainly due to a Java-based tax and appraisal and document management product released in mid-2005, several large contracts signed since mid-2005 for another appraisal product and continued market acceptance of our Odyssey courts and justice products.
Software services. Changes in software services revenues consist of the following components:
  Software services revenue related to financial products, which comprise more than half of our software services revenue, were up moderately compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was driven primarily by additions to our implementation staff over the last twelve months, which has enabled us to deliver our backlog at a faster rate. In addition, we have continued to expand our application service provider hosting customer base which provided service revenue increases. These increases were offset somewhat by lower software services revenue related to one financial product line for which we simplified the implementation process in late 2005.
 
  Software services revenue related to Odyssey courts and justice products was up significantly compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005, reflecting increased contract volume. Since March 31, 2005, we have increased our presence with Odyssey in Texas and Florida and added one contract in Nevada.
Maintenance. We provide maintenance and support services for our software products and third party software. Maintenance revenues increased 15% due to growth in our installed customer base and slightly higher maintenance rates on certain product lines.
Appraisal services. The decrease in appraisal services revenue is due to the completion of one significant appraisal contract in the first quarter of 2005. The appraisal services business is driven in part by revaluation cycles in various states and based on our current

business pipeline, we expect that appraisal services revenues in the foreseeable future will remain at historically low levels consistent with 2005.
     Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins
The following table sets forth a comparison of the key components of our cost of revenues, and those components stated as a percentage of related revenues for the periods presented as of March 31:
                                                 
    First Quarter

Total cost of revenues
  $ 29,396       65 %   $ 27,744       68 %   $ 1,652       6 %
 
                                   
Cost of software license revenues. The main component of our cost of software license revenues is amortization expense for capitalized development costs on certain software products, with third party software costs making up the balance. Once a product is released, we begin to amortize the costs associated with its development over the estimated useful life of the product. Amortization expense is determined on a product-by-product basis at an annual rate not less than straight-line basis over the product’s estimated life, which is generally five years. Development costs consist mainly of personnel costs, such as salary and benefits paid to our developers and rent for related office space.
Our software license sales mix in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included more third party software revenue compared to the prior year period. As a result, the cost of third party software also rose consistent with the related sales increase. This increase was offset slightly by lower amortization expense of software development costs because some products became fully amortized during the first quarter of 2006.
Cost of acquired software. When we complete an acquisition we allocate the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired to amortizable software, customer and trade name intangibles, with the remainder allocated to goodwill that is not subject to amortization. Amortization expense of acquired software is recorded as cost of revenues while amortization expense of other acquisition intangibles is recorded as amortization of customer and trade name intangibles. The estimated useful life of acquired software ranges from three to five years. In 2006, cost of acquired software increased compared to the prior year because we completed two small acquisitions in late January 2006.
Cost of software services and maintenance revenues. Cost of software services and maintenance grew 9% while the related software services and maintenance revenues increased 11% compared to the prior year period. Cost of software services and maintenance primarily consists of expenses, such as personnel costs related to installation of our software licenses, conversion of customer data, training customer personnel and support activities. Costs grew at a slower rate than related software services and maintenance revenues for the same periods, which is mainly due to significant organizational changes we made in the second quarter of 2005 to reduce costs in our appraisal services and our appraisal and tax software business.
Cost of appraisal services revenues. The decline in the cost of appraisal services revenues and related increase in gross margin is mainly due to significant organizational changes we made in the second quarter of 2005 to our appraisal services business to bring costs in line with expected levels of revenue, which eliminated levels of management and reduced overhead expense.
Gross margin. Our overall gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was 34.5%, compared to 31.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The gross margin rose mainly due to lower costs as a result of the restructuring of our appraisal services business in the second quarter of 2005.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The following table sets forth a comparison of our selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the periods presented as of March 31:

Selling, general and administrative expenses
  $ 11,878       27 %   $ 11,944       29 %   $ (66 )     (1 )%
For the three months ending March 31, 2006, SG&A expense includes a non-cash purchased in-process research and development charge of $140,000 relating to one of our acquisitions in January 2006 and $440,000 of non-cash share-based compensation expense. We did not have any in-process research and development or shared-based compensation expenses in 2005. Offsetting these charges was lower SG&A expense relating to our appraisal services and appraisal and tax software businesses due to the restructuring of those businesses in the second quarter of 2005.
     Amortization of Customer and Trade Name Intangibles
Acquisition intangibles are composed of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired that is allocated to acquired and amortizable software, customer and trade name intangibles with the remainder allocated to goodwill that is not subject to amortization. However, amortization expense related to acquired software is included with cost of revenues while amortization expense of customer and trade name intangibles is recorded as a non-operating expense. The following table sets forth a comparison of amortization of customer and trade name for the periods presented as of March 31:

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the state income taxes, the qualified manufacturing activities deduction, and non-deductible meals and entertainment costs. The effective income tax rate in 2006 is also impacted by non-deductible share-based compensation expense. The effective income tax rate has declined compared to the prior year due to higher expected pretax for 2006 and lower state income taxes as a result of a change in our corporate structure implemented in early 2005.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.6 million and we had short-term investments of $10.3 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $20.7 million and short-term investments of $11.7 million at December 31, 2005. Cash provided by operating activities was $10.0 million in the first three months of 2006 compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2005.
At March 31, 2006, our days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 77 days compared to DSO of 101 days at December 31, 2005. Our maintenance billing cycle is at one of its highest points in December and the majority of the related cash payments are received in the first quarter of each year. As a result our DSO decreased in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter. DSO is calculated based on accounts receivable divided by the quotient of annualized quarterly revenues divided by 360 days.
Investing activities used cash of $11.1 million in the first three months of 2006 compared to $1.3 million cash provided from investing activities for the same period in 2005. In January 2006, we acquired two companies, MazikUSA, Inc. and TACS, Inc. The combined purchase price for the two companies was approximately $14.5 million, comprised of approximately $11.6 million in cash and 325,000 shares of Tyler common stock. Other investing activities in the first quarter of 2006 were primarily comprised of a liquidation of $1.5 million of short term investments and investments in property and equipment. In the comparable prior year period, investing activities were comprised of a liquidation of $2.4 million of short term investments and investments in software development and property and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had capital expenditures of $1.0 million compared to $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decline was due to lower investments in software development costs in 2006 because we completed development of a major appraisal and tax product, as well as an enhancement to other products, in 2005. The other expenditures related to computer hardware and software and expansions to support internal growth. Capital expenditures were funded from cash generated from operations.
On February 11, 2005, we entered into a revolving bank credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures February 11, 2008 and provides for total borrowings of up to $30.0 million and a $10.0 million Letter of Credit facility under which the banks will issue cash collateralized letters of credit. As of March 31, 2006, our effective interest rate was 6.3% under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2006 we had no debt and outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.1 million to secure surety bonds required by some of our customer contracts. These letters of credit expire during 2006 and early 2007.
Financing activities used cash of $1.0 million in the first three months of 2006 compared to $7.6 million in the same period for 2005. Cash used in financing activities was primarily comprised of purchases of treasury shares, net of proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan activity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we purchased 250,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.2 million. We currently have authorization to repurchase up to 1.8 million additional shares of Tyler common stock. A summary of the repurchase activity during the first quarter 2006 is as follows:
                         
                    Maximum number of  
    Total number             shares that may be  
    of shares     Average price paid     purchased under current  
Period   purchased     per share     authorization  
January 1 through January 31
    250     $ 8.75       1,814  
February 1 through February 28
                1,814  
March 1 through March 31
                1,814  
 
                 
Total first quarter
    250     $ 8.75       1,814  
 
                 
The repurchase program, which was approved by our board of directors, was announced in October 2002, and was amended in April and July 2003, October 2004 and October 2005. There is no expiration date specified for the authorization and we intend to repurchase stock under the plan from time to time in the future. Our credit agreement includes covenants which limit repurchases of our common stock to $20 million in any trailing twelve month period beginning after February 11, 2005.
We made federal and state income tax payments, net of refunds of $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $585,000 in the comparable prior year.

From time to time we engage in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. In order to consummate any such opportunities, which could require significant commitments of capital, we may be required to incur debt or to issue additional potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to our future acquisitions and how such acquisitions may be financed. In the absence of future acquisitions of other businesses, we believe our current cash balances and expected future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures and other activities through the next twelve months. If operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our needs, we may borrow under our credit agreement.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates. As of March 31, 2006, we had funds invested in auction rate municipal bonds, which we accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” These investments were treated as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair market value. Due to the nature of this investment, we are not subject to significant market rate risk.
We have no outstanding debt at March 31, 2006, and are therefore not subject to any interest rate risk.
In order to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk associated with a contract denominated in Canadian dollars we contracted in December 2005 with a commercial bank to enter into a series of forward contracts, at no material cost to us, to acquire Canadian dollars through 2009 at fixed prices. These forward contracts have been entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposure in this contract and do not constitute positions independent of this exposure. If the applicable exchange rate was to increase or decrease 10% from the rate at March 31, 2006, our current risk management liabilities/assets would increase or decrease approximately $300,000. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes, nor are we a party to any leveraged derivative instrument.
ITEM 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report conducted by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer believe that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we are able to collect, process and disclose the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC within the required time periods.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
On September 9, 2005, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (“ACS”) filed litigation in Dallas County, Texas against thirty-three defendants, including Tyler and John M. Yeaman, our Chairman of the Board (“Yeaman”). The other named defendants include entities affiliated with William D. Oates (“Oates”), a former director of ours, and certain individuals employed by such entities. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that we breached the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 2000 (the “SPA”) between ACS and us pursuant to which we sold to ACS for cash all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Business Resources Corporation (“BRC”), which comprised a significant portion of our then existing property records business. In the SPA, we agreed to certain five-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, which expired on December 29, 2005. In addition, the SPA contained a closing condition pursuant to which Oates agreed to amend his then existing three-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants so that the restricted activities would conform to the language of our restricted activities, which covenants expired on December 29, 2003. The lawsuit alleges that Oates (or entities owned by Oates) solicited ACS employees and re-entered the land records business after the expiration of his three-year covenants, but prior to the expiration of our five-year covenants, and further alleges that we, through our non-compete, are legally responsible for Oates’ actions. The lawsuit further alleges that Oates “controlled Tyler”, “manipulated Tyler”, and was a “legal representative” of ours for a significant, but unspecified, period of time following the sale of BRC, even though Oates has not been a member of our board since 2001, has not been employed by us since the sale of BRC, has had limited contact with our management since the sale of BRC, and to our knowledge, has not owned any stock in us since May 2003. The lawsuit further alleges that we fraudulently induced ACS to enter into the SPA because we allegedly knew that Oates (or entities owned by Oates) would re-enter the land records business after three years, even though the SPA specifically contained different covenants with respect to Oates and us. ACS entered into a settlement agreement with all of the defendants other than Yeaman and us, the terms of which are currently confidential; however, management believes that the settlement agreement extends the non-compete for Oates and his related entities for some period of time.
We vehemently deny all allegations contained in the lawsuit. Management believes that we have not breached any non-competition covenants, have not solicited ACS employees, and have not misappropriated ACS confidential information. Management further believes that the “factual” allegations made against us are false and inaccurate and that the legal theories asserted by ACS are without merit. Management further believes based on discovery that has taken place to date that even if the allegations as currently set forth in the petition were true, that ACS has suffered no or nominal damage, particularly in light of the settlement agreement with Oates and his related entities.
We have filed counterclaims against ACS, including claims for business disparagement and defamation, alleging that ACS has published factually inaccurate and defamatory statements about us to third parties, including our customers and prospective customers, with malice and/or negligence regarding the truth of those statements. We intend to defend the lawsuit and pursue our counterclaims vigorously. The future costs associated with such defense and in pursuit of the counterclaims are uncertain and difficult to predict and may be material.
Other than routine litigation incidental to our business and except as described herein, there are no material legal proceedings pending to which we are party or to which any of our properties are subject.
