ACTUATE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Actuate and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Actuate has offices throughout North America, Europe and Asia including offices in Switzerland, United Kingdom,
Germany, Singapore, Japan and China. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

As of March 31, 2008, Actuate
owns approximately 88% of the outstanding voting stock of Actuate Japan Company Ltd. (Actuate Japan). The Company has consolidated the results of Actuate Japan from the date that it became the majority shareholder, which occurred in
fiscal year 2000. Accumulated losses applicable to the minority shareholders exceed their equity capital in Actuate Japan and as a result, there is no minority interest presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This excess loss
applicable to the minority shareholders has been charged to Actuate, as the minority shareholders are not obligated to contribute their share of losses exceeding their equity capital.

Revenue Recognition

Actuate generates revenues from sales of software licenses and related
services. The Company receives software license revenues from licensing its products directly to end-users and indirectly through resellers, system integrators and OEMs. The Company receives service revenues from maintenance contracts, consulting
services and training that Actuate performs for customers.

Actuate recognizes revenues in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-2 (SOP 97-2), Software Revenue Recognition,as amended and modified by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain
Transactions.For sales to end-user customers, Actuate recognizes license revenues when a license agreement has been signed by both parties or a definitive agreement has been received from the customer, the product has been shipped, there
are no unusual uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, the fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable and vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists to allocate the fee to the undelivered elements of the
arrangement. Vendor-specific objective evidence is based on the price charged when an element is sold separately. Actuate has not established vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for its licenses. Therefore, the Company recognizes
revenues from arrangements with multiple elements involving software licenses under the residual method. If the license agreement contains payment terms that would indicate that the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenues are recognized as the
payments become due and payable, assuming that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Actuate enters into reseller and
distributor arrangements that typically give such distributors and resellers the right to distribute its products to end-users headquartered in specified territories. Actuate recognizes license revenues from arrangements with U.S. resellers and
distributors when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the reseller or distributor, the product has been shipped, the fees are fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Actuate recognizes license revenues from arrangements
with international resellers and distributors upon receipt of evidence of sell-through and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. If it is not practical to obtain evidence of sell-through, the Company defers revenues until the
end-user has been identified and cash has been received. In some instances there is a timing difference between when a reseller completes its sale to the end-user and the period in which Actuate receives the documentation required for revenue
recognition. Because Actuate delays revenue recognition until the reporting period in which the required documentation is obtained, it may recognize revenue in a period subsequent to the period in which the reseller completes the sale to its
end-user.

Actuate also enters into OEM arrangements that provide for license fees based on the bundling or embedding of its products with
the OEMs products. These arrangements generally provide for fixed, irrevocable royalty payments. Actuate recognizes license fee revenues from U.S. and international OEM arrangements when a license agreement has been executed by both parties,
the product has been shipped, there are no unusual uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, the fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable and vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists to allocate the fee to
the undelivered elements of the arrangement.

Credit-worthiness and collectibility for end-users are assessed based on payment history and
current credit profile. When a customer is not deemed credit-worthy, revenues are deferred and recognized upon cash receipt.

##### Table of Contents

Actuate recognizes maintenance revenues, which consist of fees for ongoing support and unspecified
product updates, ratably over the term of the contract, typically one year. Consulting revenues are primarily related to standard implementation and configuration. Training revenues are generated from classes offered at the Companys
headquarters and customer locations. Revenues from consulting and training services are typically recognized as the services are performed. When a contract includes both, license and service elements, the license fee is typically recognized on
delivery of the software, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, provided services do not include significant customization or modification of the product and are not otherwise essential to the functionality of the software.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company
has various types of share-based compensation plans. These plans are administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, which selects persons to receive awards and determines the number of shares subject to each award and the
terms, conditions, performance measures and other provisions of the award. Readers should refer to Note 9 of the Companys consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for
additional information related to these share-based compensation plans.

Share-based compensation expense and the related income tax
benefit recognized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in connection with stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. We estimated the expected term of options granted by analyzing actual historical experience of exercises and cancellations under our plan. We also looked at the average length of time in which our current
outstanding options are expected to be exercised or cancelled based on past experience and the vesting and contractual term. We estimated the volatility of our common stock by using historical volatility over the calculated expected term. We based
the risk-free interest rate that we use in the option valuation model on the published Treasury rate. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore used an expected dividend yield of zero in the option
valuation model. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted and stock purchase rights granted under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007 are as follows:

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury
stock method.

Under the treasury stock method, stock options with exercise prices exceeding the average share
price of the Companys common stock during the applicable period are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation. The weighted-average number of shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net income was 3,048,978 for the three
months ended March 31, 2008. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company excluded 2,423,523 stock options from its calculation of weighted-average common shares used in computing dilutive net income per share. Such stock options, had
they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted net income per share.

The weighted average exercise price of
excluded stock options was $7.34 and $6.85 for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company had a $728,000 unrealized loss on its Auction Rate Securities (ARS) as of
March 31, 2008. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31,
2008. See also Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also had approximately $1.4 million in foreign currency translation gains related primarily to the translation and consolidation of its European operations.
These gains were significantly higher during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 due to the strength of certain European currencies against the U.S. Dollar.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

The carrying value of
the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and investments with high quality financial institutions and limits its investment in individual securities based on
the type and credit quality of each such security. A portion of our investment portfolio is invested in AAA rated ARS. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, $16.5 million of the Companys ARS failed to settle in auctions.
While the Company currently earns a premium interest rate on these investments, the investments are not currently liquid. In the event the Company needs to access these funds, it will not be able to do so without a loss of principal, unless a future
auction on these investments is successful. The Company has reduced the carrying value of these investments by $728,000 as of March 31, 2008 through a charge to other comprehensive income to reflect the temporary nature of the impairment of
these investments. As of March 31, 2008, we believe that these investments are not other-than-temporarily impaired; however, the Company will evaluate these investments on a quarterly basis.

The Companys customer base consists of international businesses, and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally
does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses.

No customer accounted
for more than 10% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. In addition, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2008 or 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

With the
exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 ("SFAS 161"), "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that
should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159).
FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair
value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to

facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The requirements of FAS 159 are
effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. However, the Company did not elect to apply the Fair Value Option to any of its financial instruments or other items upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 or during the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not impact the Companys consolidated financial position, result of operation or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of
acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the
accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Actuate is currently evaluating the impact that the pending adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, (SFAS 157) Fair Value Measurement. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value, and also expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted this standard with respect to its financial assets
effective January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB adopted FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2  Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 delaying the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for all non
financial assets and non financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). See Footnote 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further detail regarding the impact of our adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets.

2. Investment in Actuate Japan

The minority shareholders of Actuate Japan have the non-expiring option to put their equity interest (Minority Interest) in Actuate Japan to
the Company and the Company has the option to call the Minority Interest. The Minority Interest as of March 31, 2008 was approximately 12% of the total equity interest. If the Minority Interest Shareholder chose to put these remaining shares to
the Company, Actuate would be required to pay approximately $532,000 to purchase these shares. The Companys policy is to record a liability, if any, at the time that the put or call is probable of being exercised. Should an indicator arise
that the Minority Interest has declined in value below the exercise price of the put and call option, the Company would conclude that exercise is probable at that point in time and recognize a liability for the intrinsic value of the option. The
Company performs a periodic review of the value of the Minority Interest. This review may include assumptions regarding projected future cash flows and discount rates. Variances in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the
Companys conclusion as to whether it is necessary to record a liability. As of March 31, 2008, the Company concluded that it was not necessary to record a liability. The Company consolidated 100% of the operating results and all
investments in the subsidiary are eliminated in consolidation. As of the date of this filing, the remaining minority shareholder has not notified the Company of any intent to exercise its put option.

3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value

The Company
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157), effective January 1, 2008. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company
has investments that are valued in accordance with the provisions under SFAS 157. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Certain items in the table above are classified as Level 2 items because quoted prices in an
active market are not readily accessible for those securities, and we may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the securities.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $16.5 million in ARS at par value. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, substantially all
auctions for ARS have failed as a result of the negative overall capital market conditions, meaning that there is not enough demand to sell the securities at auction.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company reclassified its entire ARS investment balance from short-term investments to non-current investments on its
condensed consolidated balance sheet because of the Companys inability to determine when its investments in ARS would settle. Typically the fair value of ARS investments approximates par value due to frequent interest rate resets through the
auction process. While the Company continues to earn interest on its ARS investments at the maximum contractual rate, these investments are not currently trading and therefore do not currently have a readily determinable market value. Accordingly,
the estimated fair value of ARS no longer approximates par value. The Company has used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its investment in ARS as of March 31, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the
discounted cash flow model include estimates for interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the ARS. Based on this assessment of fair value, as of March 31, 2008 the Company determined there was a decline in
the fair value of its ARS investments of $728,000. We determined that 100% of this impairment was temporary.

The Company reviews its
impairments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and related guidance issued by the FASB and the Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to determine the
classification of the impairment as temporary or other-than-temporary. A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders
equity. Such an unrealized loss does not affect net income (loss) for the applicable accounting period. An other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded as a realized loss in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and reduces
net income (loss) for the applicable accounting period. In evaluating the impairment of any of its individual ARS at March 31, 2008, the Company considered such impairment to be temporary. The differentiating factors between temporary and
other-than-temporary impairment are primarily the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of Actuate to retain its
investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Any individual security in the above tables with an unrealized loss has been in a continuous
unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. At this time, the Company believes that, due to the nature of the Companys investments, the financial condition of the issuer and the Companys ability to hold these investments
through these loss positions, factors would not indicate that these unrealized losses should be viewed as other-than-temporary.

As of
March 31, 2008, the stated maturities of the Companys cash equivalents and short-term investments are $13.2 million within 90 days and $22.0 million beyond 90 days. Short-term investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and
are recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2008, Actuate has classified all of its marketable securities (other
than ARS) as short-term investments, even though the stated maturity dates may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date as these investments are highly liquid and available for use in current operations.

All ARS are classified as long-term investments at March 31, 2008 regardless of the underlying interest rate reset date. The remaining underlying
maturity on these securities ranges between 26 to 40 years. The ARS are investments with long-term contractual maturities. They are usually found in the form of municipal bonds backed by a pool of student loans which are substantially guaranteed by
the Federal Government. These ARS investments are intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain
immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par. The recent uncertainties in the credit markets have affected all of the Companys holdings in ARS investments and auctions for the Companys investments in these securities have failed
to settle on their respective settlement dates. Consequently, the investments are not currently liquid and

the Company will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction
process. All of the ARS investments were investment grade quality and were in compliance with the Companys investment policy at the time of acquisition. The Company currently has the ability and intent to hold these ARS investments until
a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the issue, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities have matured.

4. Restructuring Charges

During the first half of fiscal year 2007, we evaluated the consolidation of our facilities as a
result of the performancesoft acquisition and determined that a $297,000 facility-related restructuring charge was required. This charge was directly related to the consolidation of our three offices located in the United Kingdom into one office and
was accounted for in accordance with FAS 146.

During the second half of fiscal year 2007, we recorded a restructuring charge related to
the relocation of our headquarters facility from South San Francisco to San Mateo, California and the closure of our service facility in Iselin, New Jersey. These charges were primarily comprised of rent and operating expenses through the end of the
lease term for the fully vacated portion of the South San Francisco facility, impairment of fixed assets and leasehold improvements considered abandoned, and relocation costs to the new facility. We also recorded restructuring charges for rent and
operating expenses for the Iselin, New Jersey facility. As a result of this relocation and the closure of our services facility, we recorded a total restructuring charge of approximately $1.4 million in the second half of fiscal year 2007 in
accordance with FAS 146.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we incurred additional idle facility charges totaling $142,000.
These charges primarily related to the restoration and return of our South San Francisco facility to the landlord and the consolidation of our Vienna, Virginia facilities into one location.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity during the three months ended March 31, 2008 (in thousands):

5. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting and FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting
for Income Taxes in Interim Periods (FIN 18). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant,
unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect, are recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax
status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each
interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary
differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional
information is obtained or as the tax environment changes.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No, 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a new recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, only income tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold may be recognized in the financial



13

statements. An income tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Significant judgment is required in applying the principles of FIN 48 and SFAS 109. The calculation of our provision for income taxes involves
dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. In determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, we regularly assess the potential settlement outcomes resulting from income tax examinations. However,
the final outcome of tax examinations, including the total amount payable or the timing of any such payments upon resolution of these issues, cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, we cannot be certain that such amount will not be
materially different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Should the IRS or other tax authorities assess additional taxes as a result of a current or a future examination, we may be required to record
charges to operations in future periods that could have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows in the applicable period or periods.

On February 11, 2008 we merged one of our European subsidiaries into our U.S. holding company. This action resulted in a deemed liquidation for U.S.
tax purposes which provided for a $3.7 million federal and state benefit from the tax deduction associated with the loans between the U.S. holding company and the European subsidiary.

8. Contingencies

General

We are engaged in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although
there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such litigation, we believe we have adequate legal defenses and we believe that the ultimate outcome of any of these actions will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

Commitments & Contingencies

The Company reached the end of its lease term on its previous corporate headquarters located at 701 Gateway, in South San Francisco in February 2008. On
June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a five year sublease agreement with Oracle Corporation for approximately 83,000 square feet of office space in the Bridgepointe Campus in San Mateo, California. This lease is operating in nature; commenced
on August 1, 2007 and ends on July 31, 2012. In addition, the lease provides for approximately six months of free rent (rent holiday) and approximately $600,000 in landlord incentives to be applied by Actuate towards construction of future
improvements. The incentives were applied to leasehold improvements completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Company accounts for and recognizes the rent holidays in its operating lease on a straight-line basis over the lease
term (including any rent holiday period) in accordance with paragraph 2 of FASB Technical Bulletin 85-3 (FTB 85-3), Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases. The Company accounts for the amortization of its
leasehold improvements over the duration of the lease consistent with paragraph 5(f) of FASB Statement 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases, as amended. Leasehold improvements made by the Company that are funded by landlord
incentives or allowances under an operating lease are recorded by the Company as leasehold improvement assets and amortized over the term of the lease consistent with the guidance in paragraph 5(f) of FASB SFAS 13. The incentives are recorded as
deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense over the lease term in accordance with paragraph 15 of SFAS 13.

As of
March 31, 2008, Actuate pledged $395,000 of restricted cash, as collateral for a standby letter of credit that guarantees its contractual obligations relating to its sublease agreement for its new corporate headquarter facilities located at the
Bridgepointe Campus in San Mateo, California. This restricted cash is classified as Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Stock Option Plans

In March 2007, the Board of Directors amended the automatic stock option grant program for
non-employee directors under the 1998 Non-Employee Directors Option Plan (the Directors Plan) to change the number of shares covered by the initial and annual awards to non-employee directors, beginning with the grants to be made at the
2007 Annual Meeting. The amendment reduced the number of option shares which will automatically be granted to each individual who first joins the Board as a non-employee director from 80,000 to 40,000 option shares and increased the number of option
shares which will be automatically granted to each continuing non-employee Board member at each annual stockholders meeting from 10,000 option shares to 25,000 option shares. All other terms of the program, including vesting schedules for the
initial grant and the annual grant, remain unchanged.

##### Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2008, 230,000 shares of common stock were reserved and available for future grants
under the Directors Option Plan.

All directors are eligible to receive option awards under Actuates Amended and Restated 1998 Equity
Incentive Plan (the 1998 Plan). In January 2008, the Board of Directors resolved that starting with the grants awards to be made at the 2008 Annual Meeting all grants awards to the non-employee directors shall be made under the 1998 Plan
rather than the Directors Plan. All other terms of the non-employee director program, including vesting schedules for the initial grant award and the automatic annual award remain unchanged.

Shares issued as a result of the exercise of options under any of our plans would be fulfilled through shares currently in our existing pools. Total
authorized but unissued shares were 30,679,232 as of March 31, 2008.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted
during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $3.79 per option. Upon the exercise of options, the Company issues new common stock from its authorized shares. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the quarter ended March 31,
2008 was $2.1 million.

##### Table of Contents

Maintenance and support consists of first year maintenance and support services associated with the
initial purchase of Actuates software, and the renewal of annual maintenance and support services from customers who purchased Actuates software in prior periods. The maintenance and support period is generally 12 months and revenues are
typically recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance and support period.

Other deferred revenue consists of
deferred license, training and consulting fees generated from arrangements, which did not meet some or all of the revenue recognition criteria of SOP No. 97-2 and are, therefore, deferred until all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

11. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to
March 31, 2008, through May 8, 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 520,000 shares totaling $2.2 million in the open market under our Board approved stock repurchase program.

Overview

Actuate Corporation (We,
Actuate or the Company) was incorporated in November 1993 in the State of California and reincorporated in the State of Delaware in July 1998. Actuate provides software and services to develop and deploy Rich Internet
Applications (RIA) that deliver rich interactive content that improve customer loyalty and corporate performance. Applications built on Actuates open source-based platform provide all stakeholders inside and outside the firewall,
including employees, customers, partners and citizens with information that they can easily access and understand to maximize revenue, cut costs, improve customer satisfaction, streamline operations, create competitive advantage and make better
decisions. Our goal is to ensure that all users can use decision-making information their day-to-day activities, opening up completely new avenues for improving corporate performance. Actuates telephone number is 650-645-3000. Actuate
maintains a Web site atwww.actuate.com. The information posted on the Web site is not incorporated into this Annual Report.

We began shipping our first product in January 1996. We sell software products through two primary means: (i) directly to end-user customers through our direct sales force and (ii) through indirect channel partners such as OEMs,
resellers and system integrators. OEMs generally integrate our products with their applications and either provide hosting services or resell them with their products. Our other indirect channel partners resell our software products to end-user
customers. Our total revenues are derived from license fees for software products and fees for services relating to such products, including software maintenance and support, consulting and training.

Our total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 were $29.5 million, an 8% decrease over the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. We believe
this decrease was primarily due to unfavorable economic conditions in late fiscal 2007 that continue to adversely impact the financial services industry; a key component of Actuates customer portfolio. We believe as a result of this
unfavorable economic environment, our license revenues decreased by approximately 37% over the same period last year. This decrease in license revenue was partially offset by a 10% increase in our services revenues, driven mainly by maintenance and
support revenues. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we reported a net income of $2.9 million or $0.04 per diluted share compared to a net income of $1.4 million or $0.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. This
increase in net income was primarily due to a $4.2 million tax benefit derived primarily from the liquidation of one of our European subsidiaries in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Lower license revenues negatively impacted our operating margins by $2.6 million. Our operating margins decreased from $1.6 million or 5% of total
revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to a negative $950,000 or (3)% of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Despite this sharp decrease, our net margin increased from $1.4 million or 4% of total revenues, in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2007 to $2.9 million, or 10% of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. This increase in our net margins was primarily due to the tax benefit discussed above.

We currently anticipate that our total revenues in fiscal year 2008 will remain relatively consistent with those levels experienced in fiscal year 2007
while fiscal year 2008 license revenues may decrease by as much as 10% from fiscal year 2007 levels.

During fiscal year 2008, we expect
three additional trends to have significant impact on the results of our operations. We currently believe that corporate IT budgets will grow only modestly if at all in the fiscal year 2008 particularly among Financial Services companies in the
Untied States. Second, corporations are reluctant to buy software from new vendors and

we continue to witness corporations consolidating their Business Intelligence, RIA and Performance Management software purchases into fewer suppliers.
Finally, we expect to experience vigorous competition in the RIA market. Several of our competitors have released products that are marketed to be directly competitive with our RIA offerings. The existence of these competitive products may require
continued sales and marketing efforts to differentiate our products, which could result in extended sales cycles. We believe that competition in the RIA market will be vigorous in the near future.

For fiscal year 2008, we will continue to pursue the strategic initiatives to improve revenue growth that we began introducing in fiscal year 2004 as
well as an initiative related to Performance Management, which we introduced in fiscal 2006. These initiatives are as follows:



| |  |  | Selling to IT ManagementWe are re-focusing our sales efforts on selling our products to IT managers who we believe generally recognize the technical
advantages of our products. We hope this initiative will result in increased license revenue in the short term.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Solution Selling to Line-of-Business ManagementWe are creating Performance Management applications and software solutions to market to line-of-business
managers. These offerings are in the areas of performance management and customer self service reporting. We hope these initiatives will result in increased license revenue over the medium-to-long term.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Investing in BIRTWe are continuing to make a significant investment in creating a new open source business intelligence and reporting tool, known as BIRT. We
hope that BIRT will eventually become widely adopted by Java developers and will create demand for our other commercially available products. The BIRT project is a long-term initiative.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Selling to Global 9000 Corporations in the Financial Services SectorWe are continuing to focus on selling our products to Global 9000 financial services
companies in an effort to increase our substantive market share in this sector. We anticipate a negative impact to our operating results in fiscal 2008 as a consequence of the ongoing credit crunch on the Financial Services sector in 2008. However,
we believe that once the short term issues in Financial Services are resolved, the industry will once again lead in the adoption of RIA both inside and outside the firewall.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Delivering a Highly Differentiated Performance Management OfferingWe intend to combine Actuate Performancesoft Performance Management applications and
Actuates RIA-ready information platform to provide capabilities for distributing accountability throughout the enterprise.

As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $16.5 million in Auction Rate Securities ARS at par value. ARS are investments with contractual maturities of up to 40 years. Our ARS are in the form of municipal bonds, secured by
a pool of student loans or collateralized debt obligations whose interest rates are subject to reset through an auction process. At the end of each reset period, investors can sell or continue to hold the securities at par. The ARS held by us are
primarily backed by highly rated municipal issuers. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, substantially all auctions for ARS have failed as a result of the negative overall capital market conditions, meaning that there is not enough
demand to sell the securities at auction. We do not believe these failures are related to a credit issue, but rather are caused by a lack of liquidity. In the event we need to access the funds associated with failed auctions, such funds are not
expected to be accessible until a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the issue, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities have matured.

As of March 31, 2008, we reclassified our entire ARS investment balance from short-term investments to non-current investments on our condensed
consolidated balance sheet because of our inability to determine when our investments in ARS would settle. Typically the fair value of ARS investments approximates par value due to frequent interest rate resets through the auction process. While we
continue to earn interest on its ARS investments at the maximum contractual rate, these investments are not currently trading and therefore do not currently have a readily determinable market value. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of ARS no
longer approximates par value. We have used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its investment in ARS as of March 31, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include estimates for
interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the ARS. Based on this assessment of fair value, as of March 31, 2008 we determined there was a decline in the fair value of its ARS investments of $728,000. We
determined that 100% of this impairment was temporary and therefore the loss is reflected in the other comprehensive income (loss) section of stockholders equity. As of March 31, 2008, the fair value of our investments in ARS totaled
$15.7 million. For further discussion on ARS investments please refer to note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

If the global credit and financial markets continue to deteriorate, our investment portfolio may be
impacted and we could determine that additional investments are other-than-temporarily impaired. This could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We have a limited ability to forecast future revenues and expenses, thus the prediction of future operating results is difficult. In addition, historical
growth rates in our revenues and earnings should not be considered indicative of future revenue or earnings growth rates or operating results. There can be no assurance that any of our business strategies will be successful or that we will be able
to achieve and maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. It is likely that in some future quarter our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in such event the price of our common
stock could decline.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant
accounting policies are described under Item 7 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on March 17, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, (SFAS 157) Fair Value Measurement. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value, and also expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted this standard with respect to its financial assets
effective January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB adopted FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2  Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 delaying the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for all non
financial assets and non financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). See Footnote 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details regarding the impact of our adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we changed our Critical Accounting Policies as a result of the implementation of FAS 157.

For further information about our significant accounting policies, see the discussion under Item 7 to the annual consolidated financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on March 17, 2008.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from license fees and services, which include software maintenance and support, professional consulting and training. Our total revenues decreased 8% from $32.0 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007 to $29.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable economic conditions in late fiscal 2007 which have adversely impacted the financial services industry, a key component of
Actuates customer portfolio. As a result of this slowdown, we have experienced a 37% decrease in our license revenues over the same period last year. We also generated a lower number of license deals in excess of $1.0 million as compared to
the same period last year. Services revenues increased by approximately 10% from $20.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to $21.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to normal
growth in support for our installed base.

Sales outside of North America were $10.0 million or 34% of total revenues for the first quarter
of fiscal year 2008, compared to $8.4 million, or 26% of total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Approximately $400,000 of the increase in international revenues was due to the favorable impact on revenue of exchange rate
fluctuations on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

During the first quarter of 2007, we booked an out of period adjustment
related to deferred revenue that should have been recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. As a result of this out of period adjustment, first quarter 2007 total revenues were positively impacted by approximately 1% or $250,000 while net
income was increased by approximately $147,000. This out of period adjustment had no impact to our basic and diluted per share results for the first quarter of 2007.

##### Table of Contents

License fees. The decrease in license revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared
to the same period last year was due to lower demand for our products as a result of a slowing macro economic environment, primarily within the financial services sector. We believe that the slowing demand for our products will continue throughout
the first half of the current fiscal year with gradual improvements in the second half of fiscal 2008. We currently expect our license revenues to range between $48 million and $53 million for fiscal year 2008. The following table represents our
license revenues by region (in thousands):

Services. The increase in services revenues was primarily driven by the growth in our
maintenance and support revenues, which was driven by a continued growth in our installed base of customers under maintenance plans. The increase in the installed base was evidenced by the fact that we were now supporting a large percentage of the
$53.2 million in new licenses sold in fiscal year 2007, while our maintenance declination rate has remained consistent. The increase in professional consulting revenues was primarily attributed to an increase in revenue derived from third party
consultants as well as an increased level of billable travel expenses from our professional services engagements. Professional services margins improved from 69% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, to 71% for the first quarter of fiscal year
2008. The following table represents a breakdown of our service revenues by type of revenue (in thousands):

By region, North America accounted for approximately 68% of the total services revenue in the
first quarter of fiscal 2008 while the Europe and Asia Pacific regions accounted for 29% and 3% of the total services revenues, respectively. For the same period last year, North America accounted for approximately 74% of the total services revenue
while the Europe and Asia Pacific regions accounted for 23% and 3% of the total services revenues, respectively. We currently expect our maintenance and services revenues to range between $87 million and $92 million for fiscal year 2008.

Cost of license fees consists primarily of product packaging, documentation, production costs and
the amortization of purchased technology. The decrease in cost of license fees in absolute dollars for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was due primarily to the full amortization of
purchased technologies in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from our acquisition of Nimble. We expect our cost of license fees, as a percentage of revenues from license fees, to remain between 3% and 6% of revenues from license fees for the
remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Cost of services consists primarily of personnel and related costs, share-based compensation, facilities
costs incurred in providing software maintenance and support, training and consulting services, as well as third-party costs incurred in providing training and consulting services. The change in cost of services for the first quarter of fiscal year
2008, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was primarily due to a 10% decrease in headcount resulting in a decrease in employee compensation costs of approximately $300,000. These decreases were offset by an increase of
approximately $300,000 in third party consulting fees as demand for Actuates professional services engagements exceeded the supply of its in-house consultants. In prior quarters, we had made a concerted effort to reduce the Companys
reliance on external contractors. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 attrition in our full-time services staff resulted in low head count levels and as a result, we had to rely on the services of external consultants. We currently expect
our cost of services expenses as a percentage of total services revenues to be in the range of 27% to 34% of total services revenues for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, share-based compensation
and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel, promotional expenses, travel, entertainment and facility costs. The marginal increase in sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to increased
marketing and promotional expenses of approximately $190,000. These costs were offset by approximately $170,000 of employee compensation and related expenses which primarily consisted of lower sales commissions and bonuses due to a sharp decrease in
our commissionable bookings during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. We currently expect our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues to be in the range of 38% to 44% of total revenues for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Research and development costs consist primarily of personnel and related costs associated with
the development of new products, share-based compensation costs, enhancement of existing products, quality assurance and testing. The slight increase in research and development expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was primarily
attributed to employee compensation and related costs. We believe that continued investments in technology and product development are essential for us to remain competitive in the markets we serve, and expect our research and development expenses
as a percentage of total revenues to be in the range of 16% to 19% of total revenues for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, share-based compensation
costs and related costs for finance, human resources, information systems and general management, as well as legal, bad debt and accounting expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of
total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to increased salaries and share-based compensation expenses which increased by approximately $400,000 due mainly to a 6% increase in general and administrative headcount over
the first quarter of last year. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $260,000 in accounting and tax related charges due to lower compliance costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to be in the range of 12% to
14% of total revenues for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we incurred an additional idle facilities charge
related to the restoration and return of our South San Francisco facility to the landlord at the termination of the lease in February 2008 and the consolidation of our Virginia facilities into one location. These idle facilities charges were
accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which requires the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal
activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.

Interest and other income, net, is comprised primarily of interest income earned by the Company on
cash and short-term investments and currency exchange gains and losses. Interest income during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 remained consistent with the levels reported during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 at approximately $780,000. This
income was more than offset by currency exchange losses of approximately $1.2 million reported in our Swiss operations. These exchange losses were the results of sharp devaluations of the British Pound, the Euro and the U.S. Dollar currencies
held by our Swiss subsidiary against the Swiss Franc. The revaluation of local currency amounts held in Switzerland to Swiss Francs is a required procedure in consolidating and reporting the financial results of our EMEA operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4.2 million,
as compared to an income tax provision of $936,000 for the same period of fiscal year 2007. The decrease in the income tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 is due to the
write-off of loans which provided Federal and State benefits of $3.7 million in relation to the deemed liquidation for U.S. income tax purposes of one of our European subsidiaries and resultant lower U.S. income before tax.

Our primary source of cash is receipts from revenue. The primary uses of cash are payroll
(salaries, sales commissions bonuses, and benefits), general operating expenses (marketing, travel, office rent) and cost of revenue. Another source of cash is proceeds from the exercise of employee options and another use of cash is our stock
repurchase program, which is discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the current quarter was $12.2 million,
primarily comprised of net income, net of non-cash related expenses. The primary working capital source of cash was a decrease in accounts receivables due to improved collections. Days sales outstanding (DSO), calculated based on revenue
for the most recent quarter and accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date, decreased by 24 days from 91 days at December 31, 2007 to 67 days at March 31, 2008. The primary working capital uses of cash were due to payments of tax
liabilities, accrued fiscal 2007 commission and bonuses paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and a reduction in accrued restructuring as a result of payments made during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Cash provided by investing activities was $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.0 million used for the same period
in fiscal 2007. The increase in cash provided from investing activities primarily relates to the timing of purchases and maturities of marketable securities and our capital expenditures to support our growth.

Cash used in financing activities was $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $2.9 million used for the same period in
fiscal year 2007. This increase in cash used was primarily the result of payments totaling $10.0 million to repurchase over 2.0 million shares of common stock in the open market offset by a higher amount of option exercises by employees as a
result of an increase in the stock price during the quarter.

We believe that our current cash balances and cash generated from operations
will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may find it necessary
to sell additional equity, use our existing credit facility or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to our current stockholders. A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest
in complementary businesses, including the acquisition of the minority interest in our 88% owned subsidiary in Japan, or complementary products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies.

If we need to access the funds associated with ARS but are unable to do so, our operations and financial condition could be materially harmed.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments.

Our license agreements include indemnification for infringement of third party intellectual property rights and certain warranties. No amounts have been accrued relating to those indemnities and warranties.

The Company reached the end of its lease term on its previous corporate headquarters located at 701 Gateway, in South San Francisco in
February 2008. In anticipation of this event, on June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a five year sublease agreement with Oracle Corporation for approximately 83,000 square feet of office space in the Bridgepointe Campus in San Mateo,
California. This lease is operating in nature; commenced on August 1, 2007 and ends on July 31, 2012. In addition, the lease provides for approximately six months of free rent (rent holiday) and approximately $600,000 in landlord
incentives to be applied by Actuate towards construction of future improvements. The incentives were applied to leasehold improvements completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Company accounts for and recognizes the rent holidays
in its operating lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including any rent holiday period) in accordance with paragraph 2 of FASB Technical Bulletin 85-3 (FTB 85-3), Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent
Increases. The Company accounts for the amortization of its leasehold improvements over the duration of the lease consistent with paragraph 5(f) of FASB Statement 13 (SFAS 13), Accounting for Leases, as amended. Leasehold
improvements made by the Company that are funded by landlord incentives or allowances under an operating lease are recorded by the Company

as leasehold improvement assets and amortized over the term of the lease consistent with the guidance in paragraph 5(f) of FASB SFAS 13. The incentives are
recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense over the lease term in accordance with paragraph 15 of SFAS 13.

As
of March 31, 2008, Actuate pledged $395,000 of restricted cash, as collateral for a standby letter of credit that guarantees its contractual obligations relating to its sublease agreement for its new corporate headquarter facilities located at
the Bridgepointe Campus in San Mateo, California. This restricted cash is classified as Other Assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market Risk. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of credit risk, fluctuations in
interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. During the first three months of fiscal years 2008 and
2007 we derived 34% and 26%, respectively, of our total revenues from sales outside of North America. We face exposure to market risk on these receivables with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. Our international revenues
and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. The functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as
the financial results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, transaction gains and losses may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected profitability. Our realized loss
due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations was approximately $1.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2008 compared to losses of approximately $44,000 during the same period last year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, exchange rate
fluctuations on foreign revenue transactions positively impacted our total revenue growth by approximately $400,000 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest Rate Risk. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we
invest in highly liquid and high quality debt securities. Due to the nature of our investments, we believe that there is no material risk exposure.

Credit Risk.Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. We have policies
that limit investments in investment grade securities and the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential credit losses. We do not require collateral or
other security to support client receivables. Our credit risk is also mitigated because our customer base is diversified by geography and no single customer has accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue on an annual basis. We generally
do not use foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk in receivables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

##### Table of Contents

We hold a variety of interest bearing auction rate securities, or ARS. These ARS investments are intended
to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par. The recent
uncertainties in the credit markets have affected all of our holdings in ARS investments and auctions for our investments in these securities have failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. Consequently, the investments are not currently
liquid and we will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. Maturity dates for these ARS investments range from 2034 to 2047. As of March 31,
2008, we reclassified our entire ARS balance from short-term investments to non-current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet because of our inability to determine when our investments in ARS would settle. During the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008, we determined that there was a decline in the fair value of our ARS investments of approximately $728,000, of which all were deemed to be temporary. All of the ARS investments were investment grade quality and were in compliance
with the Companys investment policy at the time of acquisition. The Company currently has the ability and intent to hold these ARS investments until a recovery of the auction process or until maturity.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

As of the end of the
period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). There are inherent
limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control. Subject to these
limitations, and based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls are not effective as to the material weakness discussed in our Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007. However, the Company plans to remediate, by the end of fiscal 2008, the material weakness identified in fiscal year 2007 by ensuring a detailed review of the supporting tax schedules by someone other than the
preparer.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, in response to the material weakness identified in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008, we implemented the following control measure:



| |  |  | We engaged a third party tax service provider to assist with the preparation of the Companys tax provision, which was reviewed by our Tax Director.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were no other significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

The Company is engaged in
certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including international employment litigation arising out of restructuring activities. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such litigation, the Company believes
that it has adequate legal defenses and that the ultimate outcome of any of these actions will not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Investors should carefully
consider the following risk factors and warnings before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones facing Actuate. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also
impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all
or part of your investment. Investors should also refer to the other information set forth in this Report on Form 10-K, including the financial statements and the notes thereto.

THE COMPANYS OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE VOLATILE AND DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. IF IT FAILS TO MEET ITS ESTIMATES OF FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS OR IT FAILS TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF PUBLIC MARKET ANALYSTS AND
INVESTORS, THE MARKET PRICE OF ITS STOCK MAY DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY.

The susceptibility of the Companys operating results to
significant fluctuations makes any prediction, including the Companys estimates of future operating results, difficult. In addition, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily meaningful
and investors should not rely on them as indications of the Companys future performance. The Companys operating results have in the past varied, and may in the future vary significantly due to factors such as the following:



| |  |  | Demand for its products;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | The size and timing of significant orders for its products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A slowdown or a decrease in spending on information technology by its current and/or prospective customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from products that are directly competitive with its products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lost revenue from introduction or market acceptance of open source products that are directly competitive with its products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The management, performance and expansion of its international operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Customers desire to consolidate their purchases of RIA, Performance Management and Business Intelligence software to one or a very small number of vendors
from which a customer has already purchased software;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | General domestic and international economic and political conditions, including war, terrorism, and the threat of war or terrorism;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales cycles and sales performance of its indirect channel partners;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the way it and its competitors price their respective products and services, including maintenance and transfer fees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Continued successful relationships and the establishment of new relationships with OEMs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in its level of operating expenses and its ability to control costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The outcome or publicity surrounding any pending or threatened lawsuits;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ability to make new products and product enhancements commercially available in a timely manner;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ability to effectively launch new or enhanced products, including the timely education of the Companys sales, marketing and consulting personnel with respect
to such new or enhanced products.;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Customers delaying purchasing decisions in anticipation of new products or product enhancements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Budgeting cycles of its customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to successfully manage its acquisitions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Defects in its products and other product quality problems;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to successfully meet hiring needs including for qualified professional services employees and unexpected personnel changes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Changes in the market segments and types of customers at which it focuses its sales and marketing efforts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in perpetual licensing models to term- or subscription-based models with respect to which license revenue is not fully recognizable at the time of initial
sale; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in service models with respect to which consulting services are performed on a fixed-fee, rather than variable fee, basis;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Potential impairment of ARS.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

Because the Companys software products are typically shipped shortly after orders are received, total revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter. Furthermore, several
factors may require the Company, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to defer recognition of license fee revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a license agreement, including:



| |  |  | Whether the license agreement includes both software products that are then currently available and software products or other enhancements that are still under
development;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Whether the license agreement relates entirely or partly to software products that are currently not available;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Whether the license agreement requires the performance of services that may preclude revenue recognition until successful completion of such services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Whether the license agreement includes acceptance criteria that may preclude revenue recognition prior to customer acceptance;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Whether the license agreement includes undelivered elements (including limited terms or durations) that may preclude revenue recognition prior to customer
acceptance; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Whether the license agreement includes extended payment terms that may delay revenue recognition until the payment becomes due.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Company may in the future experience fluctuations in its gross and operating margins due to changes in the mix of its domestic and
international revenues, changes in the mix of its direct sales and indirect sales and changes in the mix of license revenues and service revenues, as well as changes in the mix among the indirect channels through which its products are offered.

A significant portion of the Companys total revenues in any given quarter is derived from existing customers. The Companys
ability to achieve future revenue growth, if any, will be substantially dependent upon its ability to increase revenues from license fees and services from existing customers, to expand its customer base and to increase the average size of its
orders. To the extent that such increases do not occur in a timely manner, the Companys business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

The Companys expense levels and any plans for expansion are based in significant part on its expectations of future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short-term. If revenues fall below its expectations
and it is unable to reduce its spending in response quickly, the Companys business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed.

The Company often implements changes to its license pricing structure for all of its products including increased prices and modified licensing parameters. If these changes are not accepted by the Companys
current customers or future customers, its business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed.

Based upon all of the
factors described above, the Company has a limited ability to forecast the amount and mix of future revenues and expenses and it is likely that at some time, the Companys operating results will be below its estimates or the expectations of
public market analysts and investors. In the event that operating results are below its estimates or other expectations, the price of the Companys common stock is likely to decline.

THE COMPANY HAS MADE, AND MAY IN THE FUTURE MAKE, ACQUISITIONS, WHICH INVOLVE NUMEROUS RISKS.

The Companys business is highly competitive, and as such, its growth is dependent upon market growth and its ability to enhance its existing
products, introduce new products on a timely basis and expand its distribution channels and professional services organization. One of the ways the Company has addressed and will continue to address these issues is through acquisitions of other
companies.

##### Table of Contents

Generally, acquisitions (including that of performancesoft) involve numerous risks, including the
following:



| |  |  | The benefits of the acquisition not materializing as planned or not materializing within the time periods or to the extent anticipated;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Companys ability to manage acquired entities people and processes that are headquartered in separate geographical locations from the Companys
headquarters;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The possibility that the Company will pay more than the value it derives from the acquisition;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulties in integration of the operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities of the acquired companies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulties in retaining key relationships with customers, partners and suppliers of the acquired company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The risk of diverting managements attention from normal daily operations of the business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Companys ability to issue new releases of the acquired companys products on existing or other platforms;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Negative impact to the Companys financial condition and results of operations and the potential write down of impaired goodwill and intangible assets
resulting from combining the acquired companys financial condition and results of operations with its financial statements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Risks of entering markets in which the Company has no or limited direct prior experience; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The potential loss of key employees of the acquired company.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

Mergers and acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and the Company cannot be certain that any acquisition will be successful and will not materially harm the Companys business, operating
results or financial condition.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY CAN BE COSTLY AND COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS.

Third parties may claim that the Companys current or future products infringe their intellectual property rights. The Company has
been subject to infringement claims in the past and it expects that companies in the Business Intelligence, RIA or Performance Management software market will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and/or
competitors in its industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation and expenses, divert
managements attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company
or at all. A successful claim of product infringement against the Company and its failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could materially harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.

IF THE COMPANY FAILS TO GROW REVENUE FROM INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND EXPAND ITS INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS ITS BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

The Companys total revenues derived from sales outside North America were 34%, 26% and 23% for the first quarter of fiscal
years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Its ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on its success in increasing revenues from international sales. The Company intends to continue to invest significant resources to
expand its sales and support operations outside North America and to potentially enter additional international markets. In order to expand international sales, the Company must establish additional foreign operations, expand its international
channel management and support organizations, hire additional personnel, recruit additional international resellers and increase the productivity of existing international resellers. The Company intends to continue to move from a focus on direct
sales to a focus on indirect sales in certain of its international markets in 2008. If it is not successful in expanding international operations in a timely and cost-effective manner, the Companys business, operating results and financial
condition could be materially harmed.

##### Table of Contents

IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT SUCCESSFULLY EXPAND ITS DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AND DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH
OEMs, ITS BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

To date, the Company has sold its products principally through its direct sales force,
as well as through indirect sales channels, such as its OEMs, resellers and systems integrators. The Companys revenues from license fees resulting from sales through indirect channel partners were approximately 35%, 32%, and 35% of total
revenues from license fees for the first quarter of fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Companys ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on the success of its sales force in further
establishing and maintaining relationships with indirect channel partners. In particular, a significant element of the Companys strategy is to embed its technology in products offered by OEMs for resale or as a hosted application to such
OEMs customers and end-users. The Company also intends to establish and expand its relationships with resellers and systems integrators so that such resellers and systems integrators will increasingly recommend its products to their clients.
The Companys future success will depend on the ability of its indirect channel partners to sell and support its products. If the sales and implementation cycles of its indirect channel partners are lengthy or variable or its OEMs experience
difficulties embedding its technology into their products or it fails to train the sales and customer support personnel of such indirect channel partners in a timely or effective fashion, the Companys business, operating results and financial
condition would be materially harmed.

Although the Company is currently investing, and plans to continue to invest, significant resources
to expand and develop relationships with OEMs, it has at times experienced and continues to experience difficulty in establishing and maintaining these relationships. If the Company is unable to successfully expand this distribution channel and
secure license agreements with additional OEMs on commercially reasonable terms, including significant up-front payments of minimum license fees, and extend existing license agreements with existing OEMs on commercially reasonable terms, the
Companys operating results would be adversely affected. Any inability by the Company to maintain existing or establish new relationships with indirect channel partners, including systems integrators and resellers, or, if such efforts are
successful, a failure of the Companys revenues to increase correspondingly with expenses incurred in pursuing such relationships, would materially harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.

THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE COMPETITORS.

The Companys market is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving standards and product releases by the
Companys competitors that are marketed to compete directly with the Companys products. The Companys competition comes in four principal forms:



| |  |  | Competition from current or future Business Intelligence software vendors such as Information Builders and MicroStrategy, each of which offers reporting products.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from other large software vendors such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP, to the extent they sell as separate products or include RIA and Performance
Management functionality with their applications or databases;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from other software vendors and software development tool vendors including providers of open-source software products; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from the IT departments of current or potential customers that may develop scalable Business Intelligence, Performance Management and RIA products
internally, which may be cheaper and more customized than the Companys products.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from BIRT. The Company expects that BIRT, which is free, may in the short term cannibalize some smaller sales of its Business Intelligence and RIA
products.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the Companys current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources than it does. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sales of their
products than the Company. Also, most current and potential competitors have greater name recognition and the ability to leverage a significant installed customer base. These companies have released and can continue to release competing Business
Intelligence, Performance Management and RIA software products or significantly increase the functionality of their existing software products, either of which could result in a loss of market share for the Company. The Company expects additional
competition as other established and emerging companies enter the Business Intelligence, Performance Management and RIA software market and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer
customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.



31

##### Table of Contents

Current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships
among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing their ability to address the needs of the Companys customers. Also, the Companys current or future channel partners may have established in the past, or may in the future,
establish cooperative relationships with the Companys current or potential competitors, thereby limiting the Companys ability to sell its products through particular distribution channels. It is possible that new competitors or alliances
among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. Such competition could reduce the Companys revenues from license fees and services from new or existing customers on terms favorable to us. If the Company
is unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, the Companys business, operating results and financial condition would be materially harmed.

IF THE MARKET FOR RIA AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE DOES NOT GROW AS THE COMPANY EXPECTS, ITS BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

The market for Business Intelligence and RIA and Performance Management software products is still emerging and the Company cannot be certain that such
market will continue to grow or that, even if the market does grow, businesses will purchase the Companys products. If the market for Business Intelligence and RIA and Performance Management software products fails to grow or grows more slowly
than the Company expects, its business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. To date, all of the Companys revenues have been derived from licenses for its Business Intelligence and RIA and software and Performance
Management related products and services, and it expects this to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company has spent, and intends to continue to spend, considerable resources educating potential customers and indirect channel partners about
Business Intelligence and RIA and Performance Management software and its products. However, if such expenditures do not enable its products to achieve any significant degree of market acceptance, the Companys business, operating results and
financial condition would be materially harmed.

BECAUSE THE SALES CYCLES OF THE COMPANYS PRODUCTS ARE LENGTHY AND VARIABLE, ITS QUARTERLY RESULTS
MAY FLUCTUATE.

The purchase of the Companys products by its end-user customers for deployment within the customers
organization typically involves a significant commitment of capital and other resources, and is therefore subject to delays that are beyond the Companys control. These delays can arise from a customers internal procedures to approve
large capital expenditures, budgetary constraints, the testing and acceptance of new technologies that affect key operations and general economic and political events. The sales cycle for initial orders and larger follow-on orders for the
Companys products can be lengthy and variable. Additionally, sales cycles for sales of the Companys products to OEMs tend to be longer, ranging from 6 to 24 months or more, and may involve convincing the OEMs entire organization
that the Companys products are the appropriate software for their applications. This time period does not include the sales and implementation cycles of such OEMs own products, which can be longer than the Companys sales and
implementation cycles. Certain of the Companys customers have in the past, or may in the future, experience difficulty completing the initial implementation of Actuates products. Any difficulties or delays in the initial implementation
by the Companys end-user customers or indirect channel partners could cause such customers to reject the Companys software or lead to the delay or non-receipt of future orders for the large-scale deployment of its products, in which case
the Companys business, operating results and financial condition would be materially harmed.

ADVANCES IN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY MAY
CAUSE OUR SOFTWARE REVENUE TO DECLINE.

In the past, the Company has licensed software for a certain number of processors
or CPUs to many of its customers. Advances in hardware technology, including, but not limited to, greater CPU clock speeds, multiple-core processors and virtualization, have afforded software performance gains to some customers, causing
them to defer additional software purchases from the Company. The occurrence of any of these events, and other future advances, could seriously harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition. Use of the Companys
software on more advanced hardware than the hardware on which the software was originally installed, without payment of a transfer fee is prohibited by the terms of applicable license agreements or Company policies. The Company intends to require
compliance with such terms. As a result of its enforcement efforts, customers may defer or cease purchasing additional software or maintenance and support. The occurrence of any of these events could materially harm the Companys business,
operating results and financial condition.

IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO FAVORABLY ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ITS INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, IN
FUTURE PERIODS, OR IF THE COMPANYS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN UNQUALIFIED ATTESTATION REPORT ON SUCH ASSESSMENT, THE COMPANYS STOCK PRICE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404), the Companys management is required to report on, and its
independent auditors are required to attest to, the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis. The Companys assessment, testing and evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness
of its internal control over financial reporting are ongoing. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, and this assessment identified a material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting related to our income tax provision. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls over the review of the income tax provision calculation by someone other than the preparer. The Company plans to remediate the
aforementioned material weakness by ensuring a detailed review of the supporting tax schedules by someone other than the preparer. This material weakness is disclosed in Item 4 of this report. The Company cannot predict the outcome of its
testing in future periods. If in future periods the Company concludes that its internal control over financial reporting is not effective, it may be required to change its internal control over financial reporting to remediate deficiencies, and
investors may lose confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, causing the Companys stock price to decline significantly.

SECTION
404 AND RECENTLY ENACTED REGULATORY CHANGES HAVE CAUSED THE COMPANY TO INCUR INCREASED COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES AND MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE COMPANY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and recently enacted rules of the SEC and Nasdaq have caused the Company to incur significant increased costs. In
particular, the rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess its internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. This
ongoing process of reviewing, documenting and testing the Companys internal controls over financial reporting has resulted in, and will likely continue to result in, a significant strain on the Companys management, information systems
and resources. Furthermore, achieving and maintaining compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and other new rules and regulations has and will continue to require the Company to hire additional personnel and to use additional outside legal, accounting and
advisory services.

Any acquisitions made by the Company will also put a significant strain on its management, information systems and
resources. In addition, any expansion of the Companys international operations will lead to increased financial and administrative demands associated with managing its international operations and managing an increasing number of relationships
with foreign partners and customers and expanded treasury functions to manage foreign currency risks, all of which will require implementation of any changes necessary to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

Any failure to satisfy the new rules could make it more difficult for the Company to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer
liability insurance, and it may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. Alternatively, the Company may determine that it should reduce its director and
officer liability insurance policy limits. The impact of any of these events could also make it more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its Board of Directors, or as executive officers.

IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT RESPOND TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES, ITS PRODUCTS COULD BECOME OBSOLETE.

The market for the Companys products is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, changing
customer demands, and evolving industry standards. Any of these factors can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to support current and future
releases of popular operating systems and computer programming languages, databases and software applications, to timely develop new products that achieve market acceptance and to meet an expanding range of customer requirements. If the announcement
or introduction of new products by the Company or its competitors or any change in industry standards causes customers to defer or cancel purchases of existing products, the Companys business, operating results and financial condition would be
harmed.

As a result of the complexities inherent in Business Intelligence, RIA and Performance Management software, major new products and
product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. In addition, customers may delay their purchasing decisions in anticipation of the general availability of new or enhanced versions of the Companys products. As a result,
significant delays in the general availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or



33

##### Table of Contents

implementation of such new releases could harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition. If the Company fails to successfully
develop, on a timely and cost effective basis, product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements or such new products and product enhancements fail to achieve market
acceptance, the Companys business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT RELEASE NEW PRODUCTS AND
ENHANCEMENTS TO EXISTING PRODUCTS IN A TIMELY MANNER OR IF SUCH NEW PRODUCTS AND ENHANCEMENTS, INCLUDING THE COMPANYS OPEN SOURCE PROJECT, FAIL TO ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE, THE COMPANYS BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on the success of new products and enhancements to its products
that it makes generally available. Prior to the release of any new products or enhancements, the products must undergo a long development and testing period. To date, the development and testing of new products and enhancements have taken longer
than expected. In the event the development and testing of new products and enhancements continue to take longer than expected, the release of new products and enhancements will be delayed. If the Company fails to release new products and
enhancements in a timely manner, its business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. In addition, if such new products and enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, the Companys business, operating results and
financial condition would be harmed.

The Company has developed a BIRT open source code project as part of the Eclipse open source code
foundation. The Company hopes that BIRT and a commercialized version of BIRT will be widely adopted by Java developers and will result in such developers recommending to their companies that they license the Companys commercially available
products. If BIRT does not achieve market acceptance and result in promoting sales of commercially available products, the Companys business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.

THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPANYS OPEN-SOURCE BIRT INITIATIVE IS DEPENDENT ON BUILDING A DEVELOPER COMMUNITY AROUND BIRT.

The success of the Companys BIRT initiative is dependent on the open source contributions of third-party programmers and corporations, and if they
cease to make these contributions to the Eclipse open source project, the BIRT project, or the general open source movement, the Companys BIRT product strategy could be adversely affected. If key members, or a significant percentage, of this
group of developers or corporations decides to cease development of Eclipse, BIRT or other open source applications, the Company would have to either rely on another party (or parties) to develop these technologies, develop them itself or adapt its
open source product strategy accordingly. This could increase the Companys development expenses, delay its product releases and upgrades or adversely impact customer acceptance of open source offerings.

THE COMPANYS INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS.

A substantial portion of the Companys revenues is derived from international sales. International operations are subject to a number of risks, any of which could harm the Companys business, operating
results and financial conditions. These risks include the following:



| |  |  | Economic and political instability, including war and terrorism or the threat of war and terrorism;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulty of managing an organization spread across many countries;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Multiple and conflicting tax laws and regulations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Costs of localizing products for foreign countries;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulty in hiring employees and difficulties and high costs associated with terminating employees and restructuring operations in foreign countries;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trade laws and business practices favoring local competition;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Dependence on local vendors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Increasing dependence on resellers in certain geographies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing government laws and regulations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Longer sales cycles;

| |  |  | Import and export restrictions and tariffs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The significant presence of some of our competitors in certain international markets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Greater difficulty or delay in accounts receivable collection; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

The Company believes that, over time, an increasing portion of its revenues and costs will be denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent such denomination in foreign currencies does occur, gains and losses on the conversion to U.S.
dollars of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international operations may contribute to fluctuations in the Companys results of operations. Although the Company may in the future
decide to undertake foreign exchange hedging transactions to cover a portion of its foreign currency transaction exposure, it currently does not attempt to cover any foreign currency exposure. If it is not effective in any future foreign exchange
hedging transactions in which it engages, the Companys business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

THE
COMPANYS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CERTAIN KEY PERSONNEL ARE CRITICAL TO ITS BUSINESS AND IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN THE PERSONNEL IT NEEDS.

The Companys future success depends upon the continued service of its executive officers and other key engineering, sales, marketing and customer support personnel. None of its officers or key employees is bound
by an employment agreement for any specific term. If the Company loses the service of one or more of its key employees, or if one or more of its executive officers or key employees decide to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or
indirectly with it, this could have a significant adverse effect on the Companys business.

In addition, because experienced
personnel in the Companys industry are in high demand and competition for their talents is intense, the Company has relied on its ability to grant stock options as one mechanism for recruiting and retaining this highly skilled talent.
Accounting regulations that have recently taken effect require the expensing of stock options, which will impair the Companys future ability to provide these incentives without incurring significant compensation costs. There can be no
assurance that the Company will continue to successfully attract and retain key personnel in the future.

CHANGES IN, OR INTERPRETATIONS OF, ACCOUNTING
RULES AND REGULATIONS COULD RESULT IN UNFAVORABLE ACCOUNTING CHARGES.

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these
policies can have a significant effect on the Companys reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions. The Companys accounting policies that recently have been or may be affected by changes in the
accounting rules are as follows:



| |  |  | Software revenue recognition;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | Accounting for income taxes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Accounting for business combinations and related goodwill; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Accounting for stock issued to employees.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

THE
COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO SUSTAIN OR INCREASE ITS PROFITABILITY.

While the Company was profitable in its last four fiscal years, it
incurred net losses during fiscal year 2003 and 2002. Its ability to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis will be affected by changes in its business. It expects its operating expenses to increase as its business grows,
and it anticipates that it will make investments in its business. Therefore, the Companys results of operations will be harmed if its revenues do not increase at a rate equal to or greater than increases in its expenses or are insufficient for
it to sustain profitability.

IF THE COMPANY OVERESTIMATES REVENUES, IT MAY BE UNABLE TO REDUCE ITS EXPENSES TO AVOID OR MINIMIZE A NEGATIVE IMPACT
ON ITS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The Companys revenues are difficult to forecast and are likely to fluctuate significantly from
period to period. The Company bases its operating expense budgets on expected revenue trends. The Companys estimates of sales trends may not correlate with actual revenues in a particular quarter or over a longer period of time. Variations in
the rate and timing of conversion of the Companys sales prospects into actual licensing revenues could cause it to plan or budget inaccurately and those variations could adversely affect the Companys financial results. In particular,
delays, reductions in amount or cancellation of customers purchases would adversely affect the overall level and timing of the Companys revenues and its business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed. In
addition, many of its expenses, such as office and equipment leases and certain personnel costs, are relatively fixed. It may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any shortfall in
revenue may cause a material variation in operating results in any period.

IF THE COMPANYS PRODUCTS CONTAIN MATERIAL DEFECTS, ITS REVENUES MAY
DECLINE.

Software products as complex as those offered by the Company often contain errors or defects, particularly when first
introduced, when new versions or enhancements are released and when configured to individual customer computing systems. The Company currently has known errors and defects in its products. Despite testing conducted by the Company, if additional
defects and errors are found in current versions, new versions or enhancements of its products after commencement of commercial shipment, this could result in the loss of revenues or a delay in market acceptance or an increase in the rate of return
of the Companys products. The occurrence of any of these events could materially harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.

THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS.

Although license agreements with its customers typically contain
provisions designed to limit the Companys exposure to potential product liability claims, it is possible that such limitation of liability provisions may not be effective as a result of existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial
decisions. The sale and support of the Companys products may entail the risk of such claims, which are likely to be substantial in light of the use of its products in business-critical applications. A product liability claim brought against
the Company could materially harm its business, operating results and financial condition.

THE PROTECTION OF OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS MAY BE INADEQUATE.

The Company has a small number of issued and pending U.S. patents expiring at varying times ranging from 2015 to 2020. The Company
relies primarily on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary technology. For example, the Company licenses its software pursuant to shrink- or
click-wrap or signed license agreements that impose certain restrictions on licensees ability to utilize the software. In addition, the Company seeks to avoid disclosure of its intellectual property, including by requiring those persons with
access to its proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with the Company and by restricting access to its source code. The Company takes precautions to protect our software, certain documentation, and other written materials
under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection.

Despite the Companys efforts to protect its proprietary
rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its products or to obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of the Companys products is difficult, and while it is unable to
determine the extent to which piracy of its software products exists, software piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect the Companys proprietary rights to as great an extent as
do the laws of the United States. If the Companys means of protecting its proprietary rights is not adequate or its competitors independently develop similar technology, the Companys business could be materially harmed.

THE COMPANYS COMMON STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR STOCKHOLDERS.

The market price of shares of the Companys common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and may be significantly affected
by factors such as the following:



| |  |  | Actual or anticipated fluctuations in its operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Adoption of new accounting standards affecting the software industry; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against such companies. If the Company is involved
in such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of managements attention and resources and could materially harm the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.

CHANGES IN TAX RATES OR NEGATIVE TAX RULINGS COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT THE COMPANYS FINANCIAL RESULTS.

The Company is taxable principally in the United States and certain jurisdictions in Europe and Asia/Pacific. All of these jurisdictions have in the past
and may in the future make changes to their corporate income tax rates and other income tax laws, which could increase the Companys future income tax provision. While the Company believes that all material income tax liabilities are reflected
properly in its consolidated balance sheet, it has no assurance that it will prevail in all cases in the event the taxing authorities disagree with its interpretations of the tax law. Future levels of research and development spending, and
employment of a required minimum of employees in Switzerland, will impact the Companys entitlement to related tax credits, which generally lower its effective income tax rate. Future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected if
earnings are lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where the Company has statutory tax rates lower than in the United States.

CERTAIN OF THE
COMPANYS CHARTER PROVISIONS AND DELAWARE LAW MAY PREVENT OR DETER A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF ACTUATE.

The Companys Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended and restated (the Certificate of Incorporation), and Bylaws, as amended and restated (Bylaws), contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change
in control of the Company or unsolicited acquisition proposals that a stockholder might consider favorable, including provisions authorizing the issuance of blank check preferred stock and eliminating the ability of stockholders to act
by written consent. In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law and the Companys stock option plans may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals. The
anti-takeover effect of these provisions may also have an adverse effect on the public trading price of the Companys common stock.

DEPENDENCE ON
THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY

A significant portion of the Company's revenues are derived from customers in the financial services
industry and the Company expects it will continue to derive a significant portion of its revenues from these customers for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, unfavorable economic conditions adversely impacting the financial services industry has
had a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the financial services industry has experienced and may continue to experience cyclical fluctuations in profitability, which may
affect timing of, or actual purchases of, the Companys products which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

IF THE RECENT WORSENING OF CREDIT MARKET CONDITIONS CONTINUES OR INCREASES, IT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON
OUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO.

Recent U.S. sub-prime mortgage defaults have had a significant impact across various sectors of the
financial markets, causing global credit and liquidity issues. The short-term funding markets experienced credit issues during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This led to liquidity disruption in asset-backed commercial paper and failed auctions in
the auction rate market. If the global credit market continues to deteriorate, our investment portfolio may be impacted and we could determine that some of our investments are impaired. This could have a material adverse impact on our results of
operations and financial condition.

Our investment portfolio includes ARS which are investments with contractual maturities. They are
usually found in the form of municipal bonds, a pool of student loans or collateralized debt obligations whose interest rates are subject to reset through an auction process. At the end of each reset period, investors can sell or continue to hold
the securities at par. The ARS held by us are primarily backed by highly rated municipal issuers. As of March 31, 2008, we had $15.7 million invested in ARS.

All ARS are classified as long-term investments at March 31, 2008 regardless of the underlying reset date. The ARS are investments with long-term contractual maturities. These ARS investments are intended to
provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par. The recent
uncertainties in the credit markets have affected all of the Companys holdings in ARS investments and auctions for the Companys investments in these securities have failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. Consequently, the
investments are not currently liquid and the Company will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. All of the ARS investments were investment
grade quality and were in compliance with the Companys investment policy at the time of acquisition. The Company currently has the ability and intent to hold these ARS investments until a recovery of the auction process or until maturity.

We determined that no other-than-temporary impairment losses existed as of March 31, 2008. However, if the issuer of the ARS is
unable to successfully close future auctions or does not redeem the ARS, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of the ARS and record other-than-temporary impairment charges in future periods, which could materially affect our results of
operations and financial condition.

If we need to access the funds associated with ARS but are unable to do so, our operations and
financial condition could be materially harmed.
