UNIFY REPORTS FISCAL 2010
FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ROSEVILLE, Calif., – September 14, 2009 – Unify Corp. (NASDAQ: UNFY), a global provider of application development, data management, migration and content archiving software, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter 2010, ended July 31, 2009.

Fiscal 2010 First Quarter Financial Results

The Company reported first quarter total revenues of $4.5 million, down 10%, compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Software licenses revenue decreased 10% to $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the fiscal first quarter in 2009. Services revenue was $2.9 million, compared to $2.9 million in the year ago quarter. Migration solutions revenue was $253,000, compared to $519,000 in the same quarter last year.

Gross margin was 87%, compared to 91% for the first quarter of last year. First quarter loss from operations was $2.3 million, compared to income from operations of $437,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Net loss was $2.2 million or $0.27 loss per share for the first quarter, compared to net income of $391,000 or $0.05 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $874,000 or $0.10 loss per share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $713,000 or $0.09 per share in the same quarter of last year.

Unify ended the first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $3.0 million at July 31, 2009, compared to $6.1 million reported at April 30, 2009. This decrease was due primarily to the significant accounts payable assumed from the AXS-One acquisition that were paid during July 2009 and Unify’s first quarter operations, which typically do not generate cash. Accounts receivables for the quarter were $7.5 million, compared to $4.5 million a year ago. Deferred revenue on July 31, 2009, was $9.8 million compared to $5.6 million as of April 30, 2009.

Business Discussion

“While the first quarter is historically our seasonably weakest quarter, this one proved to have additional challenges,” said Todd Wille, CEO of Unify. “In our core software business, customers continued to delay or make smaller purchases due to the challenging macro economic environment. We also saw a delay in the sale of new licenses due to upcoming new product releases. Despite these challenges, we added 15 new software customers during the quarter, and are already seeing an improvement in this segment in the second quarter, having booked 50% more deals in the first half of the second quarter as compared to the first half of the first quarter.”

Wille continued, “In our migration business, our first quarter results were impacted by customer delays that pushed project revenue into the second quarter. However, the first quarter bookings were very strong at $4.7 million, which allowed us to end the first quarter with a revenue backlog of $5.2 million. We expect to recognize the majority of this revenue over the next two quarters and we continue to expect a significant year-over-year growth in fiscal 2010 from our migration solutions portfolio as we address more customers’ application modernization requirements.

“With one month worth of results in the quarter, we were pleased to report $1.1 million in revenue from the AXS-One content archiving division. We are working hard to build the sales pipeline and rekindle strategic partnerships, and we are excited about the growth potential in the content archiving and e-discovery markets. While the AXS-One acquisition impacted our financial results as we paid down deal costs and accumulated payables during the first quarter, the business was near break-even on a non-GAAP net income basis in the first quarter. On a go forward basis, we believe the content archiving business can be non-GAAP profitable with approximately $500,000 in new license sales per quarter.

“While we were not pleased with our first quarter results, we are encouraged by the future prospects for our three business segments. With a strong start to our second quarter, we are already seeing improvement in our core software business, and with the significant backlog in our migration solutions business, we continue to expect strong year over year growth in this segment. In the content archiving business, we are making the necessary changes to be break-even on a go forward basis and we are investing in this business as we see significant opportunities for growth.

“From an overall company bottom line perspective, we expect to see a substantial improvement in our non-GAAP operating results now that the majority of the AXS-One transition costs are behind us and we are reiterating our fiscal 2010 revenue and non-GAAP net income guidance,” Wille concluded.

FY10 Earnings Guidance

Unify’s management reiterates its guidance for fiscal 2010, anticipating revenue to be in the range of $23.5 million to $28.5 million and non-GAAP net income in the range of $2 million to $4.5 million.

Form 10-Q Extension

Today, the Company filed with the SEC an extension to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 to allow additional time to complete its analysis of the purchase accounting requirements for the acquisition of AXS-One.
