Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization.
OPNET Technologies, Inc. (hereafter, the Company or OPNET), is a provider of software products and related services for managing networks and applications. The Companys
software products address application performance management, network planning, engineering and operations, and network research and development. The Company sells products to corporate enterprises, government and defense agencies, network service
providers, and network equipment manufacturers. The Company markets software products and related services in North America primarily through a direct sales force and, to a lesser extent, several resellers and original equipment manufacturers.
Internationally, the Company conducts research and development through a wholly-controlled subsidiary in Ghent, Belgium and markets software products and related services through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Paris, France; Frankfurt, Germany;
Slough, United Kingdom; and Singapore; third-party distributors; and value-added resellers. The Company is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland and has offices in Cary, North Carolina; Dallas, Texas; Santa Clara, California; and Nashua, New
Hampshire.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the Companys results and the results of
the Companys wholly-owned and wholly-controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. 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. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 filed with the SEC. The
March 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, these
interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Companys results for the interim periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenue and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the Companys operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 may not be indicative of the operating results for
the full fiscal year or any other future period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
|
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2009-01), or the Codification, as the single
source of authoritative non-government GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, have been superseded by the Codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. The Codification did not change GAAP, but
instead introduces a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The Company adopted the Codification on July 1, 2009, which impacts the Companys financial statements
as all future references to authoritative accounting literature have been referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Companys financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing
the Codification during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. In the current quarter financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted
accounting literature.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 141R,
Business Combinations (included in ASC 805 Business Combinations). SFAS No. 141R, which replaced SFAS No. 141, requires that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase
method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the business
combination. SFAS No. 141R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, SFAS No. 141R, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (included in ASC 805 Business Combinations). FSP SFAS No. 141R amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, in regards to the initial
recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP SFAS No. 141R applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination that arise from contingencies that would be within the scope of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, if not acquired or assumed in a business combination, except for assets or liabilities arising from
contingencies that are subject to specific guidance in SFAS No. 141R. The Company adopted FSP SFAS No. 141R on April 1, 2009. FSP SFAS No. 141R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the effective date.
In April 2008, FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (included in ASC 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other). FSP FAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (included in ASC 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other). The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 on April 1, 2009. The
adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 will apply prospectively to intangible assets acquired on or after the effective date.
In
November 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets (included in ASC 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other), or EITF No. 08-7. EITF
No. 08-7 discusses that when an entity acquired a business or group of assets, it typically allocated little or
7
no value to the intangible assets that it did not intend to actively use, regardless of whether another acquirer might have continued to actively use them. However, with the issuance of SFAS
No. 141R and SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (included in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), or SFAS No. 157, the entity must recognize a value for the defensive asset that reflects the
assets highest and best use based on market assumptions. Upon the effective date of both SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 157, acquirers will generally assign a greater value to a defensive asset than would typically have been assigned
under SFAS No. 141. The Company adopted EITF No. 08-7 on April 1, 2009. EITF No. 08-7 will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the effective date.
In September 2009, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-1, Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables (included in ASC
605 Revenue Recognition). EITF No. 08-1 amends the current guidance on arrangements with multiple elements to (1) eliminate the separation criterion that requires entities to establish objective and reliable evidence of fair
value for undelivered elements, (2) establish a selling price hierarchy to help entities allocate arrangement consideration to the separate units of account, (3) require the relative selling price allocation method for all arrangements
(i.e., eliminate the residual method), and (4) significantly expand required disclosures. EITF 08-1 will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010. EITF No. 08-1 will be effective for the
Company beginning April 1, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not adopted EITF No. 08-1, nor has it determined the impact that the adoption will have on its results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2009, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 09-3, Applicability of AICPA Statement 97-2 to Certain Arrangements That
Include Software Elements (included in ASC 985 Software). EITF No. 09-3 amends the scoping guidance for software arrangements to exclude tangible products that contain software elements and nonsoftware elements that function
together to interdependently deliver the products essential functionality. EITF No. 09-3 will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not adopted EITF No. 09-3, nor has
it determined the impact that the adoption will have on its results of operations or financial condition.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following discussion updates the Companys disclosures on significant accounting policies (as previously outlined in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009) to include an overview of
the impact of accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (included in ASC 260 Earnings per Share), or FSP No. EITF 03-6-1. FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 states that
unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share, or EPS, pursuant to the
two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company applied the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 in fiscal 2010. The Companys participating securities include nonvested restricted
stock. FSP EITF 03-6-1 was applied retrospectively and therefore prior period information was adjusted.
In May 2009, the
FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 165, Subsequent Events (included in ASC 855 Subsequent Events), or SFAS No. 165, to be effective for interim or annual financial periods ending
after June 15, 2009. SFAS No. 165 does not materially change the existing guidance but introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity
has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure is intended to alert all users of financial statements
that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events
8
after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. SFAS No. 165 became effective for the Company on April 1, 2009, and the adoption did not have an impact on its
financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 5, 2010, which is the date of its Form 10-Q filing.

Stock-Based Compensation
|
The Companys Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, or 2000 Plan, provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to purchase up to 5,539,742 shares of the Companys common
stock. The number of shares available for issuance will automatically increase on the first trading day of each calendar year by an amount equal to the lesser of 3% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the preceding
calendar year, or an amount determined by the Board of Directors, not to exceed an annual increase of 1,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors voted not to increase the number of shares for issuance on the first trading day of calendar year 2008 or
calendar year 2009. Options are granted for terms up to ten years and generally vest over periods ranging from one to six years from the date of the grant. Restricted stock granted to employees under this plan generally vest over one to four years
from the date the restricted stock grants are approved by the Board of Directors. Restricted stock granted to non-employees under this plan generally vests either over one year from the date of the grant, or vests for less than a year from the date
of the grant. New option grants and restricted stock grants are granted from new shares of the Companys common stock.
The Companys 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan, or 1993 Plan, provides for the granting of incentive stock options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Options are granted for terms of up to ten years, and
generally vest over periods ranging from one to six years from the date of the grant. The Board of Directors approved a resolution to make no further grants for options or stock awards under the 1993 Plan upon approval of the 2000 Plan.
In March 2000, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2000 Director Stock Option Plan, which provides for the automatic
annual granting of options to purchase stock to the Companys directors, who are not its employees, for up to a total of 225,000 shares of common stock of the Company. There are no shares available for issuance under the 2000 Director Stock
Option Plan.
In September 2009, the stockholders approved the adoption of the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for
the granting of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors for up to 2,150,000 shares. The plan will take effect on January 1, 2010.
SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment (included in ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation), or SFAS
No. 123R, requires an entity to recognize an expense within its income statement for all share-based payment arrangements, which includes employee stock option plans, restricted stock grants, and employee stock purchase plans. The Company has
elected to continue straight-line amortization of stock-based compensation expense for the entire award over the service period since the awards have only service conditions and graded vesting.
Excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options are presented as a cash flow from financing activity. For the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options were $5,000 and $1,000, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options were
$5,000 and $48,000, respectively.

During the three
months ended December 31, 2009, no stock options vested or were granted. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, no stock options vested and 275,000 stock options were granted.
To estimate the grant-date fair value of its stock options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model
estimates the per share fair value of an option on its date of grant based on the following; the options exercise price; the price of the underlying stock on the date of grant; the estimated dividend yield; a risk-free interest
rate; the estimated option term; and the expected volatility. For the risk-free interest rate, the Company uses a United States Treasury Bond due in the number of years equal to the options expected term. The estimated option term
is calculated based upon the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Use Of A Simplified Method In Developing An Estimate Of Expected
11
Term Of Plain Vanilla Share Options (included in ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation,) or SAB 110. The Company uses the simplified method to determine the
estimated option term because it lacks sufficient historical share option exercise data. To determine expected volatility, the Company analyzes the historical volatility of its stock over the expected term of the option.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine the grant-date fair value for stock options issued during the nine months ended
December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Compensation
cost for option grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (from the date of grant through the period of the last separately vesting portion of the grant). Compensation cost is recognized
within the income statement in the same expense line as the cash compensation paid to the respective employees. SFAS No. 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. The
impact on compensation cost due to changes in the expected forfeiture rate will be recognized in the period that they become known. The Company has concluded that its historical forfeiture rate is the best measure to estimate future forfeitures of
granted stock options. The impact on compensation cost due to changes in the expected forfeiture rate of 10% will be recognized in the period that they become known. The Company does not apply a forfeiture rate to the options granted to certain key
executives or directors. The Company has concluded that historically certain key executives and directors will perform the requisite service to vest in the award.
During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company received proceeds of approximately $143,000 and $50,000 and issued 22,486 and 7,300 shares of common stock,
respectively, pursuant to employee and director exercises of stock options. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company received proceeds of approximately $273,000 and $622,000 and issued 43,299 and 88,552
shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to employee and director exercises of stock options.
Restricted Stock
The Companys restricted stock grants are accounted for as equity awards. The expense is based on the price of the
Companys common stock on the date of grant, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Companys restricted stock agreements do not contain any post-vesting restrictions.
A summary of the restricted stock grants for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

ESPP
The Companys 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, provides all eligible employees to collectively purchase shares of its common stock. On September 14, 2009, the stockholders voted to
increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP from 820,000 shares to 3,070,000 shares, effective February 1, 2010. An employee may authorize a payroll deduction up to a maximum of 10% of his or her compensation during the
plan period. The purchase price for each share purchased is the lesser of 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first or last day of the plan period. The plan period for the ESPP ends on the last day of January and July of each year.
To estimate the fair value of shares issued under its ESPP, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
Black-Scholes model estimates the per share fair value of an ESPP share at the beginning of the plan period based on the following: the price of the underlying stock on the first day of the plan period; the estimated dividend yield; a
risk-free interest rate; the term of the plan period (six months); and the expected volatility. For the risk-free interest rate, the Company uses a United States Treasury Bond due in six months. To determine expected
volatility, the Company analyzes the historical volatility of its stock over the 6 months prior to the first day of the plan period.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, employees purchased 87,748 and 68,700 shares of common stock under the ESPP, respectively, resulting in proceeds to the Company of approximately $625,000 and $552,000,
respectively.
The weighted average assumptions to determine the value for ESPP shares for the nine months ended
December 31, 2009 are as follows:

At December 31, 2009, the Company grouped money
market funds using a Level 1 valuation because market prices in active markets for identical assets were readily available. The per-share net asset value of the Companys money market funds has remained at a constant amount of $1.00 per share.
Also, as of December 31, 2009, there were no withdrawal limits on redemptions for any of the money market funds that the Company holds. The Company did not group any financial assets using Level 2 or Level 3 valuations at December 31,
2009.
On
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1. This FSP addresses whether awards granted in share-based transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and therefore need to be included in the earning allocation in computing
earnings per share using the two-class method under SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires nonvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents to be treated
as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Companys participating securities include nonvested restricted stock. FSP EITF 03-6-1 was applied retrospectively and therefore prior period information was adjusted.

The weighted average
diluted shares outstanding during any period does not include shares issuable upon exercise of any stock option where the exercise price of the stock option is greater than the average market price because including them would be anti-dilutive.
Options for the purchase of 1,168,290 and 1,211,790 common shares were excluded from the weighted average diluted shares outstanding calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because their effect was
anti-dilutive. Options for the purchase of 1,704,340 and 1,730,590 common shares were excluded from the weighted average diluted shares outstanding calculation for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because their
effect was anti-dilutive.
Treasury Stock
On January 31, 2005, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the
repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On February 4, 2008, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the
repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock under the stock repurchase program. This stock repurchase program does not have a specified termination date. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in
connection with the Companys stock plans or other corporate purposes. The Company expended $905,000 and $23,000 to purchase 84,734 and 2,314 shares during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, at average prices
of $10.69 and $9.84 per share, respectively. The Company expended $1.1 million and $885,000 to purchase 100,885 and 67,832 shares during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, at average prices of $10.51 and $13.05 per
share, respectively.
Restricted stock shares withheld from employees to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding obligations
with respect to the income recognized by these employees upon the vesting of their restricted stock share during the year are included in these totals.

The declaration of
cash dividends in the future is subject to final determination each quarter by the Board based on a number of factors, including the Companys financial performance and available cash resources, its cash requirements and alternative uses of
cash that the Board may conclude would represent an opportunity to generate a greater return on investment for the Company. The Board may decide that future dividends will be in amounts that are different than the amount described above or may
decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends altogether.

one industry segment. Revenue from transactions with United States government agencies was approximately 37.9% and 30.6% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenue from transactions with United
States government agencies was approximately 41.5% and 34.6% of total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three or nine months ended
December 31, 2009 or 2008. In addition, there was no country, with the exception of the United States, where aggregate sales accounted for 10% or more of total revenue in either the three or nine months ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.
Substantially all assets were held in the United States at December 31 and March 31, 2009. Revenue by geographic area and as a percentage of total revenue follows:

Commitments and Contingencies
|
The Company is currently under an income tax audit in Germany for fiscal years 2005 through 2007 and in the United States for fiscal year 2007. The Company does not expect these matters, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material
effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company accounts for guarantees
in accordance with FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (included in ASC 460 Guarantees), or
Interpretation No. 45. Interpretation No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures required in financial statements concerning obligations under certain guarantees. It also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of liabilities by a
guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee do not apply to product warranties or indemnification provisions in the Companys software license agreements.
Under the terms of substantially all of the Companys license agreements, it has agreed to defend and pay any final
judgment against its customers arising from claims against such customers that the Companys software products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. To date: i) the Company has not received any notice that any customer is
subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of its software products, ii) the Company has not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of its software products, and iii) the Company has not
paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of its software products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes are related to the specific facts in each case, and given the lack of
previous or current indemnification claims, the Company cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to its indemnification provisions. However, the Company believes these indemnification provisions will not have
a material adverse effect on its operating performance or financial condition. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.
The Companys standard license agreement includes a warranty provision for software products. The Company generally warrants for the
first ninety days after delivery that the software shall operate substantially as stated in the then current documentation provided that the software is used in a supported computer system. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product
warranties based on specific warranty claims, provided that it is probable that a liability exists and provided the amount can be reasonably estimated. To date, the Company has not had any material costs associated with these warranties.
The Company is involved in other claims and legal proceedings arising from normal operations. The Company does not expect these matters,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
17
The
Companys effective tax rate was 31.5% and 36.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate was 29.8% and 39.6% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate principally due to state income taxes, the difference in the U.S. and foreign tax rates, research and
development credits and the domestic production activities deduction. The decrease in the Companys effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, was
largely due to an increase in research and development credits and foreign tax credits, the impact of which was magnified by the lower pre-tax book income for the nine months ended December 2009.

The
Company is currently under an income tax audit in Germany for fiscal years 2005 through 2007 and in the United States for fiscal year 2007.
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 5, 2010, which is the date of its Form 10-Q filing.
On
January 27, 2010, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share, which will be paid on March 30, 2010 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2010. The declaration of cash
dividends in the future is subject to final determination each quarter by the Board based on a number of factors, including the Companys financial performance and available cash resources, its cash requirements and alternative uses of cash
that the Board may conclude would represent an opportunity to generate a greater return on investment for the Company. The Board may decide that future dividends will be in amounts that are different than the amount described above or may decide to
suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends altogether.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
The following discussion and analysis related to our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. You should also read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on June 5, 2009. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the Risk Factors section of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. We caution readers not to
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Form 10-Q.
Overview
OPNET Technologies, Inc. is a provider of software products and related services for managing networks and applications.
Our software products address application performance management, network planning, engineering and operations, and network research and development. Our customers include corporate enterprises, government and defense agencies, network service
providers, and network equipment manufacturers. Our software products and related services are designed to help our customers make better use of resources, reduce operational problems and improve competitiveness.
We operate in one reportable industry segment, the development and sale of computer software programs and related services. Our operations
are principally in the United States, and we have subsidiaries in Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Singapore. We primarily depend upon our direct sales force to generate revenue in the United States. Sales outside the United States
are made through our international sales team as well as third-party distributors and value-added resellers, who generally are responsible for providing technical support and service to customers within their territory.
Our revenue is derived from three primary sources: (1) new software licenses, (2) software license updates, technical support and
services, and (3) professional services, which include consulting and training services for customers without current maintenance agreements. New software license revenue represents all fees earned from granting customers licenses to use our
software and the purchase price for hardware platforms associated with the delivery of some software, and excludes revenue derived from software license updates, which are included in software license updates, technical support, and services
revenue. Our software master license agreement provides our customers with the right to use our software either perpetually, which we refer to as perpetual licenses, or during a defined term, generally for one to four years, which we refer to as
term licenses. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, perpetual licenses represented approximately 92% and 90%, respectively, of our software license revenue. Substantially all of our software license arrangements include both
perpetual and/or term licenses and software license updates, technical support, and services. Software license updates, technical support, and services revenue represent fees associated with the sale of unspecified license updates, technical support
and when-and-if available training under our maintenance agreements. We offer professional services, under both time-and-material and fixed-price agreements, primarily to facilitate the adoption of our software products.
We consider our consulting services to be an integral part of our business model as they are centered on our software product offerings.
Because our consulting services facilitate the adoption of our software product offerings, we believe that they ultimately generate additional sales of software licenses.
19
The key strategies of our business plan include increasing sales to existing customers,
increasing deal size by selling modules and introducing new software products, improving our sales and marketing execution, establishing alliances to extend our market reach, increasing our international presence and increasing profitability.
We have focused our sales, marketing, and other efforts on corporate enterprise and United States government opportunities and, to a much lesser extent, service provider and network equipment manufacturer opportunities. Our focus and strategies
are designed to increase revenue and profitability. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the amount and timing of revenue growth, especially during the current economic conditions, we expect to need to closely control the increases in our total
expenses as we implement these strategies.
In March 2008, we launched an initiative to extend our market reach by
establishing sales alliances with third parties called the Synergy Program. The Synergy Program is designed to increase the penetration of our software products into mid-sized organizations. The Synergy Programs focus is on selling our
application performance management software products, including ACE Live that provides end-user experience monitoring and real-time application performance analytics, as we believe these software products are particularly well-suited for channel
distribution.
Summary of Our Quarter-Over-Quarter Financial Performance and Trends That May Affect Business and Future Results
During the three months ended December 31, 2009, or Q3 fiscal 2010, as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2009, or Q2 fiscal 2010, we generated an increase in new software license revenue of $3.8 million that allowed us to achieve record total revenue and growth in income from operations and net income. The increase in software
license revenue was primarily the result of growth in sales of our application performance management products to corporate enterprise customers. We believe the increase in sales of our application performance management products is the result of
competitive advantages offered by our products, together with loosening customer budgets and more normal purchasing patterns as compared to Q2.
During Q3 fiscal 2010, as compared to Q2 fiscal 2010, we generated increases in cash, deferred revenue and cash flow from operations. The increase in cash was largely the result of strong collections
activity during Q3 fiscal 2010. The increase in deferred revenue was largely the result of strong renewals of customer maintenance contracts. The increase in cash flow from operations was largely the result of a decrease in accounts receivable due
largely to strong collections, an increase in deferred revenue due to growth in customer renewals of software maintenance contracts, and an increase in income from operations due largely to growth in new software license revenue.

Our increase
in total revenue in Q3 fiscal 2010 from Q2 fiscal 2010 was primarily due to an increase in new software license revenue of $3.8 million which was partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in professional services revenue. The sequential increase
in revenue from new software licenses was primarily the result of growth in sales of our application performance management products to corporate enterprise customers. The sequential decrease in revenue from professional services was largely the
result of a decrease in billable hours worked on projects for United States government customers and, to a lesser extent, corporate enterprise customers. We believe the decrease in billable hours worked was related to the increase in the proportion
of sales of our application performance management products as compared to our other products, as our application performance management products generally require less consulting services to implement. Total revenue generated from sales to United
States government customers decreased by $854,000 during Q3 fiscal 2010 as compared to Q2 fiscal 2010. The percentage of total revenue from United States government customers decreased to 37.9% in Q3 fiscal 2010 from 44.3% in Q2 fiscal 2010. The
sequential decrease in the percentage of revenue from United States government customers is a seasonal trend we anticipate following the United States governments fiscal year end on September 30.
Our international revenue was $7.5 million and $5.9 million for Q3 fiscal 2010 and Q2 fiscal 2010, respectively. The increase in
international revenue was primarily the result of growth in sales of our application performance management products to corporate enterprise customers. As a percentage of total revenue, international revenue increased from 19.2% to 22.3% during Q3
fiscal 2010. We expect revenue from sales outside the United States to continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue in the future. Sales to corporate enterprises and service providers accounted for the largest portion of our
international revenue during Q3 fiscal 2010. We believe that continued growth and profitability will require further expansion of our sales, marketing and customer service functions in international markets.
21
Our gross profit increased $2.6 million, or 11.4%, to $25.5 million for Q3 fiscal 2010 from
$22.9 million for Q2 fiscal 2010. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was the result of a $2.9 million increase in revenue, partially offset by a $321,000 increase in the cost of revenue largely due to an increase in costs related to
hardware platforms used to deliver our ACE Live software products. Gross margin on new software license revenue, software license updates, technical support and services revenue and professional services revenue for Q3 fiscal 2010 was 88.6%, 90.2%,
and 23.4%, respectively. Changes in revenue from new software licenses and software license updates, technical support and services revenue have more impact on gross profit than changes in revenue from professional services due to their higher gross
margins.
We anticipate the following trends and patterns over the next several quarters:
Total Revenue.
We believe the current economic environment is showing signs of improvement, but our ability to generate increased
revenue domestically and internationally will depend upon continued improvement in economic conditions. We expect future growth opportunities in new software license revenue and software license updates, technical support and services revenue to
come from sales to corporate enterprise customers and the United States government, as we believe our products offer competitive advantages in these markets. We expect new software license revenue and software license updates, technical support and
services revenue from sales to service providers and network equipment manufacturers to fluctuate from quarter to quarter with the potential for periods of declining revenue. Our ability to increase professional services revenue will depend upon our
ability to maintain several large consulting contracts with the United States government and to attract and retain additional qualified consultants, including those with security clearances. We believe that continued increases in the proportion of
sales of our application performance management products, as compared to our other products, would cause the percentage of our total revenue attributable to professional services revenue to decline, and might also cause an absolute decline in
professional services revenue, since our application performance management products generally require less consulting time to implement. As a result of these factors, we believe that we may experience fluctuations in quarterly revenue.
Gross Profit Margin.
Our overall gross profit margin will continue to be affected by the percentage of total revenue generated
from new software licenses and software license updates, technical support and services revenue, as revenue from these sources have substantially higher gross margins than the gross margin on revenue from professional services. Our overall gross
profit margin will also be affected by the profitability of individual consulting engagements. Amortization of technology associated with the purchase and/or acquisition of technology we may make in future periods may also affect our gross profit
margin.
Research and Development Expenses.
We believe that continued investment in research and development will be
required to maintain our competitive position and broaden our software product lines, as well as enhance the features and functionality of our current software products, especially our application performance management products. We believe that
more investment in research and development will be required in order to maintain our competitive position and grow sales of our application performance management products as compared to our other products, as we believe there is more competition
in the markets served by these products as compared to the markets for our other products. We made significant personnel investments in research and development during fiscal 2009; however, given current economic conditions, we plan to invest more
modestly in additional personnel during the next several quarters. We expect that the absolute dollar amount of these expenses will continue to grow but generally decrease as a percentage of total revenue in future periods. Our ability to decrease
these expenses, as a percentage of revenue, will depend upon increases in our revenue, among other factors.
Sales and
Marketing Expenses.
We depend upon our direct sales model to generate revenue and believe that increasing the size of our quota-carrying sales team is essential for long-term growth. We made significant personnel investments in sales and
marketing during fiscal 2009. Given the current economic environment, we plan to invest modestly in additional quota-carrying sales personnel during the next several quarters. Additionally, we have taken specific steps to significantly reduce the
dollar amount of marketing expenditures

we intend to make during the remainder of fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. We anticipate increases in marketing expenditures during fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010 as a result of
our plans to reinstate our annual users conference. We did not hold our annual users conference during fiscal 2010 due to travel restrictions many companies had in place as a result of economic conditions. Our ability to lower these
expenses as a percentage of revenue will depend upon increases in our revenue, among other factors.
General and
Administrative Expense.
We expect the dollar amount of general and administrative expenses to increase as we continue to expand our operations but generally decrease as a percentage of total revenue in future periods. Our ability to decrease
these expenses as a percentage of revenue will depend upon increases in our revenue, among other factors.
Operating
Margin.
Since a significant portion of our software license arrangements close in the latter part of each quarter, we may not be able to adjust our cost structure in the short-term to respond to lower than expected revenue, which would adversely
impact our operating margin and earnings. Our operating margin increased to 10.2% during Q3 fiscal 2010 from 7.2% during Q2 fiscal 2010. We remain committed to increasing profitability and generating long-term growth. As a result of the challenging
economic environment, we took a number of steps during fiscal 2010 to control our operating expenses and maximize our operating margin at a given revenue level. We do not believe that additional changes to our cost structure are necessary at this
time, but we intend to closely monitor and control expenses in order to maximize our operating margin.
Critical Accounting Policies and
Use of Estimates
The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates we make with respect to these and other items that require our estimates.
We have identified the accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies
affect the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas involving managements judgments and estimates. These critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition and deferred revenue, stock based compensation, fair value
measurement of cash equivalents and marketable securities, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, including intangible assets and impairment review of goodwill, software development costs, and income taxes. These policies,
and our procedures related to these policies, are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Revenue
New Software License Revenue.
New software license revenue was $15.5 million and $13.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of
14.0%. The increase was largely due to an increase in sales to United States government customers, and to a lesser extent, corporate enterprise customers, partially offset by a decrease in sales to service providers. New software license revenue was
$36.1 million and $40.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of 11.0%. The decrease in license revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same
period in fiscal 2009, was due largely to a decrease in revenue generated from service providers and to a lesser extent, corporate enterprise customers, partially offset by an increase in United States government customers. We believe the revenue
decrease for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was largely attributable to the adverse economic conditions during the six months September 30, 2009.
Software License Updates, Technical Support and Services Revenue.
Software license updates, technical support and services revenue
was $12.0 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of 8.0%. Software license updates, technical support and
24
services revenue was $34.9 million and $32.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of 9.0%. Software license updates, technical
support and services revenue growth rates are affected by the overall new software license revenue growth rates, as well as the annual renewal of maintenance contracts by existing customers. The increase in software license updates, technical
support and services revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009, reflects increases in the overall customer installed base. Increases in the overall customer installed base
increase the demand for annual renewals of maintenance contracts.
The dollar amount of our deferred revenue under our
maintenance contracts at the end of each quarter is a key factor in determining the near-term growth of our software license updates, technical support and services revenue. The balance of deferred revenue under our maintenance contracts generally
increases when we sell new software licenses and when we sell renewals of annual maintenance contracts. The amount of deferred revenue under our maintenance contracts was $32.2 million and $26.6 million at December 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. The amount of deferred revenue under our maintenance contracts will generally be recognized as software license updates, technical support and services revenue over the life of each individually purchased
maintenance contract, which is typically a twelve-month period.
Professional Services Revenue.

professional services revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Professional services revenue was $6.1 million and
$6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of 10.9%. Consulting services revenue accounted for 98.6% and 96.4% of professional services revenue for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in professional services revenue was largely due to a decrease in billable hours worked on projects related to corporate enterprise customers and, to a lesser extent, service providers,
partially offset by an increase in revenue generated from billable hours worked on projects related to United States government customers. We believe the decrease in billable hours worked was related to the increase in the proportion of sales of our
application performance management products as compared to our other products, as our application performance management products generally require less consulting services to implement. The percentage of total consulting revenue from United States
government customers for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 73.7% and 63.2%, respectively. Professional services revenue was $20.9 million and $21.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, representing a decrease of 2.3%. Consulting services revenue accounted for 98.6% and 97.3% of professional services revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in professional services
revenue was largely due to a decrease in billable hours worked on projects for corporate enterprise customers and, to a lesser extent, service providers, partially offset by an increase in billable hours worked on projects for United States
government customers. We believe the decrease in billable hours worked was related to the increase in the proportion of sales of our application performance management products as compared to our other products, as our application performance
management products generally require less consulting services to implement. The percentage of total consulting revenue from United States government customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 70.5% and 64.5%,
respectively.
25
International Revenue.
Our international revenue was $7.5 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of 7.6%. Our international revenue as a
percentage of total revenue was 22.3% and 22.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The absolute dollar increase was largely the result of an increase in sales of new software licenses to corporate enterprise
customers. Revenue from corporate enterprise customers accounted for the largest percentage of international revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Our international revenue was $19.3 million and $19.6 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of 1.3%. The absolute dollar decrease was largely the result of a decrease in sales of new software licenses to service providers, partially offset by an
increase in sales of new software licenses to corporate enterprise customers. Our international revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 21.0% and 20.9% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenue from
corporate enterprise customers accounted for the largest percentage of international revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Our international revenue is primarily generated in Europe and Japan. We have focused our efforts
on increasing international revenue from corporate enterprise customers.

Cost of
new software license revenue consists primarily of the cost of hardware platforms associated with the delivery of some software products, royalties, and, to a lesser extent, media, manuals, and distribution costs. Cost of license updates, technical
support and services revenue consists of personnel-related costs necessary to provide technical support and training to customers with active maintenance contracts on a when-and-if-available basis, royalties, media, and distribution costs. Cost of
professional services revenue consists primarily of personnel-related costs necessary to provide consulting and training to customers without active maintenance contracts. Gross margins on new software license revenue and software license updates,
technical support and services revenue are substantially higher than gross margins on professional services revenue, due to the low cost of delivering new software licenses and providing technical support and maintenance compared with the relatively
high personnel costs associated with providing consulting services and customer training.
Cost of New Software
License Revenue.
Cost of software license revenue was $1.8 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase of 45.9% was primarily the result of a $548,000 increase in costs
related to hardware platforms used to deliver our ACE Live software products. Total hardware platform costs related to the delivery of our ACE Live software products for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1.5 million and
$995,000 respectively. Gross margin on software license revenue decreased to 88.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to 91.1% for the same period in fiscal 2009. Cost of software license revenue was $4.1 million and $2.4
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase of 72.2% was primarily the result of a $1.7 million increase in costs related to hardware platforms used to deliver our ACE Live software products. Total
hardware platform costs related to the delivery of our ACE Live software products for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $3.2 million and $1.5 million respectively. Gross margin on software license revenue decreased to 88.6%
for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 94.1% for the same period in fiscal 2009. The decrease in gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, is a
result of increases in related hardware costs.
26
Cost of Software License Updates, Technical Support and Services Revenue.
Cost of
software license updates, technical support and services revenue was $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Gross margin on software license updates, technical support and services revenue increased to 90.2% for the
three months ended December 31, 2009, from 89.0% for the same period in fiscal 2009. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of software license updates, technical support and services was $4,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008. Cost of software license updates, technical support and services revenue was $3.6 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in the cost of software
license updates, technical support and services revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, was the result of an increase in facility costs and, to a lesser extent, the cost of providing
training to maintained customers on a when-and-if available basis. Gross margin on software license updates, technical support and services revenue increased to 89.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, from 89.1% for the same period
in fiscal 2009. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of software license updates, technical support and services was $14,000 and $16,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Cost of Professional Services Revenue.
Cost of professional services revenue was $4.7 million and $4.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease of 4.7% was primarily the result of a $190,000 decrease in compensation expense due to a reduction in staffing levels in response to weaker overall demand for our consulting services.
Gross margin on professional services revenue decreased to 23.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from 28.4% for the same period in fiscal 2009. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of professional services was $25,000
and $26,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of professional services revenue was $14.6 million and $16.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease of
8.9% in cost of professional services revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, was due to a $1.0 million decrease in compensation expense due to a reduction in staffing levels in
response to weaker overall demand for our consulting services and, to a lesser extent, a $101,000 decrease in internal IT support services expense. Gross margin on professional services revenue increased to 30.4% for the nine months ended
December 31, 2009 from 25.3% for the same period in fiscal 2009. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of professional services was $81,000 and $85,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
increase in gross margin on professional services revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009, primarily reflects an increase in the average billing rate for certain contracts
and a reduction in staffing levels in response to weaker overall demand for our consulting services. We believe the weaker demand for our consulting services during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same
periods in fiscal 2009, was due to the increase in the proportion of sales of our application performance management products to sales of our other products, as our application performance management products generally require less time to
implement.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development.
Research and development expenses were $8.0 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of
8.9%. The increase in expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2009, was largely due to an increase of $973,000 in compensation expense, which was partially offset by a $259,000 decrease in
facility and contractor costs and, to a lesser extent, depreciation expense. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to research and development was $172,000 and $139,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Research and development expenses were $23.6 million and $23.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of 2.2%. The increase in expense was primarily due to an $861,000 increase in
compensation expense, which was partially offset by a $306,000 decrease in contactor costs. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to research and development was $424,000 and $441,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
27
Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing expenses were $11.4 million and $10.7
million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The increase of 6.3% was largely due to a $1.0 million increase in compensation expense resulting from an increase in commissions due to higher bookings and an increase in staffing
which was partially offset by a $467,000 decrease in trade show costs primarily attributable to our decision not to hold our annual users conference during fiscal 2010. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to sales and marketing was $109,000
and $85,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses were $31.7 million and $31.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase
of 0.3%. The slight increase was largely due to an increase in compensation expense which was offset by a decrease in trade show costs. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to sales and marketing was $307,000 and $283,000 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses
were $2.7 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of 2.5%. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to general and administrative expense was $114,000 and $109,000
for the three months December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $8.0 million and $8.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing a decrease of 9.3%. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009, was largely the result of a $508,000 decrease in accounting and tax services and, to a lesser extent, a
$263,000 decrease in bad debt expense. Stock-based compensation expense allocated to general and administrative expense was $305,000 and $327,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Interest and Other (Expense) Income, net.
Interest and other (expense) income, net, was negative $16,000 and $265,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest and other income, net, was negative $4,000 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest and other (expense)
income, net, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009, was primarily the result of a change in our portfolio holdings to predominately United States government-backed money market
funds from a mix of United States government-backed money market funds and investment grade marketable securities and a decrease in the interest rates earned on our investment holdings.
Provision for Income Taxes.
Our effective tax rate was 31.5% and 36.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Our effective tax rate was 29.8% and 39.6% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, the effective tax rate differed from the
statutory tax rate principally due to state income taxes, the difference in the U.S. and foreign tax rates, research and development credits and the domestic production activities deduction. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and
nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, was largely due to an increase in research and development credits and foreign tax credits, the impact of which was magnified by the lower pre-tax
book income for the nine months ended December 2009.
We are currently under an income tax audit in Germany for fiscal years
2005 through 2007 and in the United States for fiscal year 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and through the sale of equity
securities. As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $100.8 million.
Net cash provided by
operating activities was $16.8 million and $8.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily derived from
28
net income, as adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization expense, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in net cash provided by operating
activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in deferred revenue, which was partially offset by a decrease in net income.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Net cash provided by investing activities was $10.3 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we used funds of $2.2 million to purchase property and equipment and funds of $433,000 to acquire technology. We also received proceeds of $1.0 million from the maturity of
investments. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we used funds of $4.5 million to purchase property and equipment and we received proceeds of $14.8 million from the sale or maturity of investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $5.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $337,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. We used $5.6 million to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share to stockholders of record on June 15, 2009, September 15, 2009, and December 15, 2009.
We used $1.1 million and $885,000 to acquire 100,885 and 67,832 shares of treasury stock during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, 12,930
and 7,832 of the shares that were acquired were shares withheld from employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations with respect to the income recognized by these employees upon the vesting of their restricted stock shares
during the applicable period. Cash provided by financing activities generally reflects the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the sale of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP. During the nine months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, we received proceeds of approximately $273,000 and $622,000 and issued 43,299 and 88,552 shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to employee and director exercises of stock options. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, we received proceeds of approximately $625,000 and $552,000 and issued 87,748 and 68,700 shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to the issuance of common stock under our
ESPP. Excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options are presented as a cash flow from financing activities. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options were $5,000 and
$48,000, respectively.
Contractual Obligations
We have commitments under contractual arrangements to make future payments for goods and services. These contractual arrangements secure the
rights to various assets and services to be used in the future in the normal course of business. For example, we are contractually committed to make minimum lease payments for the use of property under operating lease agreements. In accordance with
current accounting rules, the future rights and related obligations pertaining to such contractual arrangements are not reported as assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits under FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (included in ASC 740 Income Taxes), or FIN No. 48, is reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We expect to fund these contractual
arrangements with our cash and cash equivalents as well as cash generated from operations in the normal course of business.
As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any capital lease obligations. For more information regarding our office space, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
We expect working capital needs to increase in the foreseeable future in order for us to execute our business plan and growth strategies. We
anticipate that operating activities, as well as expected capital expenditures incurred in the normal course of business, will constitute a material use of our cash resources. In addition, we may utilize cash resources to fund acquisitions or
investments in complementary businesses, technologies or products as well as repurchase our common stock in accordance with our stock repurchase program authorized by our Board in January 2005, and the payment of dividends to our stockholders.
29
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from operations
will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and dividends for at least the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2009, we did not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or related parties and, accordingly, there are no off-balance sheet risks to our liquidity and capital resources from unconsolidated entities.
Contingencies
We are currently under an income tax audit in Germany for fiscal years 2005 through 2007 and in the United States for fiscal year 2007. We do not expect these matters, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are involved in other claims and legal proceedings arising from
our normal operations. We do not expect these matters, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 3.
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, and those with maturities greater than three months are considered to be marketable
securities. Cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities consist primarily of investment grade securities with high credit ratings of relatively short duration that trade in highly liquid markets. Accordingly, we have no quantitative
information concerning the market risks and believe that the risk is minimal. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure, but do not believe that an increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the value of our cash equivalents
or marketable securities.
At December 31, 2009, we had $100.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Based on our cash
and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009, a one percentage point increase or decrease in the interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest income and cash flows by approximately $1.0 million.
At December 31, 2009, $80.9 million of our $100.8 million in cash and cash equivalents was held in money market funds. The money market
funds are predominately backed by United States government securities. The per-share net asset value of our money market funds has remained at a constant amount of $1.00 per share. Also, as of December 31, 2009 there were no withdrawal limits
on redemptions for any of the money market funds that we hold.
Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in
United States dollars and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the United States dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries financial results into United States dollars for purposes of reporting
our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded as a separate component of stockholders equity, was a loss of $719,000 and a loss of $1.4 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A
majority of our revenue transactions outside the United States are denominated in local currencies and the majority of operating expenses associated with our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in local currencies; therefore, our results of
operations and financial condition are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the British pound and the European Union euro. We currently do not hedge foreign exchange rate risk.
Approximately 21.0% and 20.9% of our total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was generated from outside of the United States. Due to the limited nature of our foreign operations, we do not believe that
a 10% change in exchange rates would have a
30
material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Based on our revenue and operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies during the nine months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, a 10% increase or decrease in exchange rates would increase or decrease our consolidated net income by approximately $39,000 and $77,000, respectively.
ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. The disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
