Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

As announced in Versant Corporation’s press release dated June 14, 2005 and Form 8-K filed June 16, 2005, on June 10, 2005 Versant committed to a multi-element restructuring plan designed to refocus Versant on its core object database business, obtain significant cost savings and improve Versant’s operating results. As announced in its Form 8-K filed on August 4, 2005, on July 29, 2005, Versant, through its subsidiary Versant GmbH, entered into certain agreements to effect a spin-off of tangible assets, technology rights and contracts related to its Versant Open Access .NET (“VOA.NET”) business to Vanatec GmbH, a privately held company based in Germany. In connection with that spin-off, seven former Versant employees departed Versant to join Vanatec, and a partnership formed by those individuals received an 80.4% equity interest in Vanatec.

On August 4, 2005, Versant announced that it committed funding for Vanatec not to exceed $550,000. On August 22, 2005, Versant concluded that in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, approximately $435,000 of the aforementioned amount will be recorded as a restructuring expenditure during the three months ended July 31, 2005. This amount is attributable to the 80.4% transfer of equity. Versant estimates that there will not be any future expenditures in connection with this transaction.

Versant believes that the dissolution of the VOA.NET business would have caused Versant to incur cash outlays and expenses for severance and other contractual obligations in amounts comparable to the restructuring charge from the Vanatec spin-off.

Versant has determined that Vanatec is a variable interest entity and therefore, in accordance with FIN 46(R), Vanatec results will be included in Versant’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2005 and for any additional periods in which the criteria of FIN 46(R) for consolidation are applicable.

The remaining elements of Versant’s restructuring plan have not yet been reduced to sufficient specificity to enable Versant to determine when such elements may be completed. At this time Versant is unable to determine accurate estimates, other than as set forth above, of (i) the total amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with each major type of cost associated with this course of action, (ii) the total amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the restructuring plan, or (iii) the amount or range of amounts of the charge that will result in future cash expenditures.
