As
a result of this program, we believe we have experienced shorter sales cycles, higher sale closure rates and larger deal sizes.

During
2007, we continued to grow our indirect channel revenue and increase our overall partner contribution worldwide. As of December 31, 2007 we had 63 partners enrolled in our
worldwide partner program. We have continued to develop and grow our Service Provider Partner channel through strategic relationships with some of the world's largest customer care outsourcers such as Convergys,West Corporation, TelePerformance, ICT Group, Harte-Hanks, and Lockheed Martin. We believe these partners deliver increased value to clients
through RightNow-enabled managed services.

In
addition, we continued to develop business and technology alliance and referral partner relationships with independent software companies, systems integrators, and contact center
infrastructure providers to create additional opportunities for our direct sales team and enhanced capabilities for our customers.

During
2007, we launched new strategic partnerships with:



We
believe these partnerships have enabled our direct sales organization to expand its contact base in key accounts, enhance and differentiate the RightNow solution, and ultimately
develop larger and more profitable enterprise sales opportunities.

We
continue to work closely with technology partners such asInformaticaandCast Iron
Systems, leading enterprise data integration software providers, to achieve open interoperability with our customer's legacy applications and databases.

In
those international markets where we do not have a direct selling presence, we rely on system integrators and resellers to sell our solutions. This strategy is primarily employed in
Europe, New Zealand and Asia. We intend to continue to broaden our distribution to these markets through resellers.

Our
marketing department coordinates future product and service direction, manages generation of client leads, and oversees public and industry analyst relations. To expand our client
base, we have also developed and will continue to increase innovative marketing initiatives.

Clients

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 1,800 active revenue generating clients in various industries, including approximately 19% from
telecommunications, 17% from technology, 14% from government agencies and educational institutions, 13% from consumer products, 8% from financial and insurance, 6% from travel and hospitality, 6% from

believe we have significant technology expertise in developing and deploying highly scalable and reliable on demand CRM applications. All of our products have been designed using
industry standards for the Internet and are designed to meet the following goals: cost efficient deployment, highly configurable, scaleable, easily integrated, multi-tenant and capable of being
internationalized. The architectural components described below form the foundation for the delivery of a variety of features within our solution.

Intuitive Knowledge Foundation.Artificial intelligence, self-learning, knowledgebase technologies and innovative
information retrieval technologies form the foundation of our solution. These technologies are combined within our customer service solution to provide self-service and automatic email
response to users and as an automated assistant for our clients' customer service representatives. Core technologies in the area of the knowledge foundation include automatic learning and decay of the
relevancy and relatedness of information, natural language processing, word-stemming algorithms, information clustering and classification algorithms, and information retrieval
technologies.

Integration with Other Enterprise Applications.Our hosted and non-hosted clients are able to integrate our
solution with their other mission-critical enterprise applications through several techniques, including: web services, application level triggers; user interface extensibility that allows the
integration of other applications into our solution; and "pass through" authentication that allows our solution to inherit user credentials from other applications to identify and enforce access to
our clients' web sites. The Developer portion of our Customer Community portal allows our customers an on-line forum that provides information on integration topics such as
up-to-date documentation and sample integrations as well as on-line discussion forums that are moderated by RightNow experts.

Highly Customizable and Usable User Interface.The web portal interface portion of our product, which allows our clients to
serve their customers through the web, is browser based and provides support for all current browsers and versions, and complies with web accessibility standards. The web portal interface is designed
to be easily integrated into our client's web sites and simple for inexperienced internet users to understand. Our back-end interface utilizes Microsoft Corporation's Smart Client
technology. The back-end interface is used by administrators, agents, sales representatives and marketing users. The Microsoft Smart Client user interface (or "UI") communicates with our
server through web services. This UI combines the speed and power of traditional client/server applications with the flexibility and reduced total cost of ownership associated with browser-based
applications. With the Microsoft Smart Client UI, a richer user experience is possible than could be provided through a browser. Because the Microsoft Smart Client is automatically network installed
and updated, the desktop maintenance headache generally associated with client/server applications is eliminated. Our back-end interface can be easily customized without programming to
support different workflows and can be extended to incorporate data from other applications.

Software Architecture.Our solution has been developed using a logical three-tier Internet architecture
consisting of presentation, application logic and data management layers. Because of the tiered separation, our solution is designed to be highly scalable, allowing expansion at each tier. We deploy
our solution in highly available, highly scalable, load-balanced web server and clustered database server configurations. We support most commonly available operating systems (Linux,
Microsoft Windows Server) and databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL).

Intellectual Property

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the development and protection of our intellectual property rights. We believe we have a rich repository of
intellectual property. As of February 25, 2008, our intellectual property assets included seven issued U.S. patents, one issued United Kingdom patent, fifteen pending U.S. patents, five U.S.
trademark registrations, and multiple foreign trademark registrations. The majority of our patents and patent applications concern our knowledgebase technology, including processes relating to the
relative usefulness ranking and the order of display of retrieved information in the knowledgebase; the ability of the knowledgebase to suggest related information to a user accessing the
knowledgebase; and the ability of the knowledgebase to produce a relational map of help information items based on the historical usage patterns of customers accessing the knowledgebase. Our patent
portfolio also includes patents and patent applications that relate to our voice technology, and our marketing and sales solutions.

The
following is a summary of our issued U.S. patents:

Implicit Rating of Retrieved Information in an Information Search System.This process relates to an information search and
retrieval system through a network, such as the Internet, in which the relative usefulness ranking and the order of display of the retrieved information in the knowledgebase is adjusted based on
actions taken by a user. This patent continues until April 2020.

Temporal Updates of Relevancy Rating of Retrieved Information in an Information Search System.This process relates to an
information search and retrieval system through a network, such as the Internet, in which the relative usefulness ranking and the order of display of the retrieved information in the knowledgebase is
adjusted based on the amount of time elapsed since the particular information was last accessed. This patent continues until April 2020.

Usage Based Strength between Related Information in an Information Retrieval System.This patent describes an information
retrieval system in which information is displayed based on navigation behavior of previous users. This patent continues until April 2020.

System and Method for Generating a Dynamic Interface through a Communications Network.This patent describes a system for
dynamically adapting selections in an automatic phone support system. This invention enables the provision of information from a dynamic knowledgebase through a telephone channel. This patent
continues until June 2020.

Usage Based Strength between Related Help Topics and Context Based Mapping Thereof in a Help Information retrieval
System.This process allows the knowledgebase to suggest related information to a person based on the keyword search and navigation patterns of that person. This
patent continues until April 2020.

Display Screen for a Computer.This is a design patent relating to the user interface to our software. This patent continues
until March 2016.

Method for routing Electronic Correspondence Based on the Level and Type of Emotion Contained Therein.This process relates
to determining the emotional content of an electronic correspondence to route or prioritize the information, to set the expectations of a customer support worker, to flag those

8

---



workers
who are using inappropriate language with the customer, or determine another best course to send the correspondence. In a preferred embodiment, a customer sends an electronic correspondence to
a company by email. Emotionally charged words or symbols in each sentence are detected. The message is then given an emotional ranking, which is used to determine what future action is most
appropriate for the correspondence. This patent continues until October 2022. We also have been issued a U.K. patent for this invention. Like the corresponding U.S. patent, this patent continues until
October 2022.

We
also hold licenses to five United States patents that we acquired from a third party.

Our
five registered trademarks in the United States are RIGHTNOW, RIGHT NOW, RIGHTNOW TECHNOLOGIES (stylized), SMARTASSISTANT AND LOCATOR. We use our "RightNow" mark as a descriptor of
all of our products. These marks continue indefinitely, subject to continuous use and payment of registration fees at the statutorily required intervals. We also use the following common law marks
"RightNow Metrics," "RightNow Analytics," "RightNow Outbound," "RightNow Marketing," "RightNow Feedback," RightNow Sales," "RightNow Service," "SmartSense," "RightNow Live,"
"RightNow Voice," "RightNow Chat," "RightNow Offer Advisor," RightNow Connect," "RightStart," and "Salesnet." Other trademarks, trade names or service marks appearing in this report are the property
of their respective holders.

We
also incorporate a number of third party software products into our software pursuant to relevant licenses. Some of the software is proprietary and some is open source. These
functions are peripheral in nature, we are not substantially dependent upon these third party software licenses and we believe the licensed software is generally replaceable, by either licensing or
purchasing similar software from another vendor or building the software function ourselves.

Competition

The CRM software market consists of three major market segments: customer service, sales force automation and marketing automation. Within this segmentation,
vendors are offering solutions through either on demand or traditional on premise delivery methods. We compete in all segments of the CRM software market and believe that we are the leader in on
demand customer service.

The
market for CRM solutions is highly competitive and fragmented and is subject to rapidly changing technology, shifting client requirements, frequent introductions of new products and
services, and increased marketing activities of other industry participants.

We
face competition from other companies currently providing customer service solutions, some of which offer hosted services, including BMC Software Corporation, Inc., eGain
Communications Corporation, FrontRange Solutions, Inc., Kana Software, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Netsuite, Oracle Corporation, SAP AG, salesforce.com, and Talisma Corporation. In
interactive voice response technology, competing vendors include Apptera, Intervoice, Microsoft, TuVox, Unveil Technologies, and Voxify.

We
expect to compete with these and additional companies as we further expand into the CRM market, and as more companies expand into the customer service segment. In addition, our
solutions compete with CRM systems that are developed and maintained internally by businesses, as well as CRM products or services that are developed, or bundled with other products or services, and
installed on a client's premises by software vendors. We also face competition from outsourced contact center providers who bundle solutions and agent labor in their service offerings. To the extent
our competitors have an existing relationship with a potential client, that client may be unwilling to switch vendors due to the time and financial commitments already made with our competitors.

Many
of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and larger presence in the general CRM market, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases and

9

---



substantially
greater financial, technical, sales and marketing, management, service, support and other resources than we have. As a result, such competitors may be able to respond more quickly than
we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or client requirements or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we can. In addition, many of our
current and potential competitors have established or may establish business, financial or strategic relationships among themselves or with existing or potential clients, alliance partners or other
third parties, or may combine and consolidate to become more formidable competitors with better resources.

New
companies are entering the CRM software market, the on demand applications market and the on demand CRM market, or expanding from any one of these markets to the others. We expect
that new competitors, such as enterprise software vendors and online service providers that have traditionally focused on enterprise resource planning or back office applications, will continue to
enter the on demand CRM market with competing products as the on demand CRM market develops and matures. It is possible that these new competitors could rapidly acquire significant market share.

We
believe the principal factors that generally determine a company's competitive advantage in the on demand customer service and broader CRM markets include the following:



We
cannot assure you that we will be successful in all or any of these areas that we believe contribute to competitive advantage, or that we will be able to compete successfully against
current or potential competitors, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, we had 686 full-time employees. Of the total employees, we had 257 in sales and marketing, 130 in software
development, 147 in professional services, 85 in
technical support and hosting, and 67 in finance and administration. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the
other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere and the other information contained in this Report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our reports on
Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs with material adverse effects on RightNow, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your
investment.



We incurred a net loss of more than $18.6 million for the period ending December 31, 2007, and as of December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated
deficit of $56.9 million. We expect to continue to incur significant professional services, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses as we expand
our operations and, as a result, we will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability. In 2007, we changed our business model to substantially eliminate sales of perpetual licenses,
which materially and adversely affected our operating margin. Although we improved sequential quarterly operating margins during 2007, we may not be able to continue to improve our operating results
at the rate that has occurred in the past. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future, which may cause the price of our
stock to decline.



Approximately 80% of our revenue is derived from RightNow Service, a suite of solutions used to optimize customer service operations. If we are unable to
successfully develop and sell new and enhanced versions of RightNow Service, or introduce new products and solutions for the customer service market, our financial performance will suffer. Although to
date the majority of business has been focused on providing solutions for customer service operations, we have introduced sales, marketing, feedback and voice-enabled applications to expand our
solution offerings. Our efforts to expand beyond the customer service market may not be successful because certain of our competitors have far greater experience and brand recognition in the broader
segments of the CRM market. In addition, our efforts to expand our on demand software solutions beyond the customer service market may divert management resources from our existing operations and
require us to commit significant financial resources to a market where we are less proven, which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.



The market for CRM solutions is highly competitive and fragmented, and is subject to rapidly changing technology, shifting client requirements, frequent
introductions of new products and services, and increased marketing activities of other industry participants. Increased competition could result in commoditization, pricing pressure, reduced sales,
lower margins or the failure of our solutions to achieve or maintain broad market acceptance. If we are unable to compete effectively, it will be difficult for us to add and retain clients, and our
business, financial condition and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

We
face competition from:



Many
of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and larger presence in the general CRM market, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases and
substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing, management, service, support and other resources than we have. As a result, such competitors may be able to respond more quickly than
we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or client requirements or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products and services than we can. To the extent
our competitors have an existing relationship with a potential client, that client may be unwilling to switch vendors due to the time and financial commitments already made with our competitors.

In
addition, many of our current and potential competitors have established or may establish business, financial or strategic relationships among themselves or with existing or potential
clients, alliance partners or other third parties, or may combine and consolidate to become more formidable competitors with better resources. For example, in January 2006, Oracle Corporation
completed its acquisition of Siebel Systems, Inc. We also expect that new competitors, such as enterprise software vendors and online service providers that have traditionally focused on
enterprise resource planning or back office applications, will continue to enter the on demand CRM market with competing products as the on demand CRM market develops and matures.



The market for on demand application services is at a relatively early stage of development, and it is uncertain whether these application services will achieve
and sustain high levels of demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of companies to increase their use of on demand application services in
general and for on demand customer relationship management applications in particular. The willingness of companies to increase their use of any on demand application services is in part dependent on
the actual and perceived reliability of hosted solutions. In addition, many companies have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate traditional enterprise software into
their businesses, and therefore may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to on demand application services. While we have supported traditional on site deployment of our software applications,
widespread market acceptance of our on demand software solutions is critical to the success of our business. Other factors that may affect the market acceptance of our solutions include:



12

---





If
businesses do not perceive the benefits of on demand solutions in general, or our on demand solutions in particular, then the market for these solutions may not develop further, or it
may develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.



Our quarterly revenue and results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly
revenue or results of operations fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Fluctuations in our results of operations
may be due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those listed below and identified throughout this "Risk Factors" section:



13

---









Because
the sales cycle for the evaluation and implementation of our solutions typically ranges from 60 to 180 days, we may also experience a delay between increasing operating
expenses and the generation of corresponding revenue, if any. Moreover, because most of the revenue from new sales agreements is recognized over time, downturns or upturns in sales may not be
immediately reflected in our operating results. Additionally, our professional service margins may be negatively impacted by training requirements for new professional service resources and/or
customer scheduling issues. Most of our expenses, such as salaries and third-party hosting co-location costs, are relatively fixed in the short-term, and our expense levels are
based in part on our expectations regarding future revenue levels. As a result, if revenue for a particular quarter is below our expectations, we may not be able to proportionally reduce operating
expenses for that quarter, causing a disproportionate effect on our expected results of operations for that quarter.

Due
to the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this report, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as
an indication of our future performance.



Increasing our client base and achieving broader market acceptance of our solutions will depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our sales and
marketing operations. We plan to continue to expand our sales and marketing resources and engage additional third-party channel partners, both domestically and internationally. This expansion will
require us to invest significant financial and other resources. Our business will be seriously harmed if our efforts do not generate a corresponding significant increase in revenue. We may not achieve
anticipated revenue growth from expanding our sales and marketing resources if we are unable to hire and develop talented sales and marketing personnel, if our new sales personnel are unable to
achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if we are unable to retain our existing sales and marketing personnel. We also may not achieve anticipated revenue growth from
our third-party channel partners if we are unable to attract and retain additional motivated channel partners, if any existing or future channel partners fail to successfully market, resell, implement
or support our solutions for their customers, or if they represent multiple providers and devote greater resources to market, resell, implement and support competing products and services.



Our solutions are generally sold pursuant to time-based agreements that are typically subject to renewal every two years or less and our clients have
no obligation to renew. Because our clients may elect not to renew, we may not be able to consistently and accurately predict future renewal rates. Our clients' renewal rates may decline or fluctuate
as a result of a number of factors, including their level of satisfaction with our solutions, their ability to continue their operations or invest in customer service, their acceptance of a change
from term license agreements to subscription service agreements, or the availability and pricing of competing products. If large numbers of existing clients do not renew, or renew on terms less
favorable to us, and if we cannot replace or supplement those non-renewals with

14

---



new
agreements generating the same or greater level of revenue, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.



To achieve our business objectives, we will need to continue to expand our business at a rapid pace. This expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to
place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, financial and other resources. We anticipate that this expansion will require substantial management effort and significant
additional investment in our infrastructure. If we are unable to successfully manage our growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Part
of the challenge that we expect to face in the course of our expansion is to maintain the high level of customer service to which our clients have become accustomed. To date, we
have focused on providing personalized account management and customer service on a frequent basis to ensure our clients are effectively leveraging the capabilities of our solution. We believe that
much of our success to date has been the result of high client satisfaction, attributable in part to this focus on client service. To the extent our client base grows, we will need to expand our
account management, client service and other personnel, and third-party channel partners, in order to enable us to continue to maintain high levels of client service and satisfaction. If we are not
able to continue to provide high levels of client service, our reputation, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations, could be harmed.



As of December 31, 2007 approximately 90% of our clients use our hosting services for deployment of our software applications. We generally provide our
hosting services for our non-voice applications through computer hardware that we own and that is currently located in third-party web hosting co-location facilities maintained
and operated in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and London, England. Our voice applications for several international customers are hosted by third parties who also own and operate the
hardware on which our applications reside. We do not maintain long-term supply contracts with any of our hosting providers, and providers do not guarantee that our clients' access to
hosted solutions will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Our operations depend on our providers' ability to protect their and our systems in their facilities against damage or
interruption from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, criminal acts and similar events. Our back-up computer hardware and systems have not been tested under actual
disaster conditions and may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage occurring simultaneously at all hosting facilities. In the event that our hosting
facility arrangements were terminated, or there was a lapse of service or accidental or willful damage to such facilities, we could experience lengthy interruptions in our hosting service as well as
delays and/or additional expense in
arranging new facilities and services. Any or all of these events could cause our clients to lose access to their important data. In addition, the failure by our third-party hosting facilities to meet
our capacity requirements could result in interruptions in our service or impede our ability to scale our operations.

Design
and mechanical errors, spikes in usage volume and failure to follow system protocols and procedures could cause our systems to fail, resulting in interruptions in our clients'
service to their customers. Any interruptions or delays in our hosting services, whether as a result of third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or
willful, could harm our relationships with clients and our reputation. This in turn could reduce our revenue, subject us to

15

---



liability,
cause us to issue credits or pay penalties or cause clients to fail to renew their licenses, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur.



Our hosting systems and our software store and transmit proprietary information and critical data belonging to our clients and their customers. Any accidental or
willful security breaches or other unauthorized access could expose us to a risk of information loss, litigation and other possible liabilities. If security measures are breached because of
third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our software are exposed and exploited, and, as a result, a third party obtains unauthorized access to any of our
clients' data, our relationships with clients and our reputation will be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we and our third-party hosting co-location facilities may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.



International sales comprised 26% and 29% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. We intend to continue to pursue and
expand our international business activities.
Adverse political and economic conditions could make it difficult for us to increase our international sales or to operate abroad. International operations are subject to many inherent risks,
including:



We
believe that international sales will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future, and that continued growth will require further expansion
of our international operations. A substantial percentage of our international sales are denominated in the local currency. As a result, an increase in the relative value of the dollar could make our
products more expensive and potentially less price competitive in international markets. We have not historically entered into

16

---



transactions
designed to hedge against risks of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations, but if we were to enter into any transactions we cannot guarantee that any such transactions would be
effective. Any of these factors may adversely affect our future international sales and, consequently, affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.



The CRM industry is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in client requirements, frequent new product and service introductions and
enhancements, changes in protocols and evolving industry standards. Our hosted business model and the on demand CRM market are relatively new and may evolve even more rapidly than the rest of the CRM
market. Competing products and services based on new technologies or new industry standards may perform better or cost less than our solutions and could render our solutions less competitive or
obsolete. In addition, because our solutions are designed to operate on a variety of network hardware and software platforms using a standard Internet web browser, we will need to continuously modify
and enhance our solutions to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies and to integrate with our clients' systems as they change
and evolve. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could increase our research and
development expenses.

Our
software incorporates use of Microsoft's .NET Framework, and its Smart Client methodology. The .NET Framework is core functionality that Microsoft incorporates into operating
systems, while the Smart Client methodology enables development and deployment of software applications using the .NET Framework. We believe that the .NET Framework and Smart Client enable us to
provide users with a richer experience and better functionality than would be possible using a pure Web-based application. However, the .NET Framework has not been universally adopted. If
software users do not adopt the .NET Framework or if the .NET Framework is superseded, the potential market for our solutions will be reduced and we may need to develop an alternative architecture.

If
we are unable to successfully develop and market new and enhanced solutions that respond in a timely manner to changing technology and evolving industry standards, and if we are
unable to satisfy
the diverse and evolving technology needs of our clients, our business, financial condition and results of operations will suffer.



Our success and future growth depends to a significant degree upon the skills, experience, performance and continued service of our senior management,
engineering, sales, marketing, service, support and other key personnel. Specifically, we believe that our future success is highly dependent on Greg Gianforte, our founder, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with any of our senior management or key personnel that require them to remain our employees and, therefore, they could terminate
their employment with us at any time without penalty. If we lose the services of Mr. Gianforte or any of our other key personnel, our business will be severely disrupted and we may be unable to
operate effectively. We do not maintain "key person" life insurance policies on any of our key employees except Mr. Gianforte. This life insurance policy would not be sufficient to compensate
us for the loss of his services. Our future success also depends in large part upon our ability to attract, train, integrate, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, particularly sales,
marketing and professional services personnel, software engineers, product trainers, and senior personnel.

17

---





Our success and future growth depends in part upon the skills, experience, performance and continued service of our partners. We engage with partners in a number
of ways, including to assist us to identify prospective customers, to distribute our solutions, to develop complementary solutions, and to help us to fulfill professional services engagements. We
believe that our future success depends in part upon our ability to develop strategic, long term and profitable partnerships. If we do not acquire and retain the right partners, our products might
become uncompetitive, we may be unable to take full advantage of the potential demand for our solutions, or our ability to rapidly deliver our solutions may be impaired. The use of partners to fulfill
customer requirements may impact our normal margins, and affect the profitability of customer transactions.



Our software products may contain undetected errors or defects that may result in product failures, slow response times, or otherwise cause our products to fail
to perform in accordance with client expectations. Because our clients use our products for important aspects of their business, any errors or defects in, or other performance problems with, our
products could hurt our reputation and may damage our clients' businesses. If that occurs, we could lose future sales, or our existing clients could elect to not renew or to delay or withhold payment
to us, which could result in an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts and an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable. Clients also may make warranty or other claims against us,
which could result in the expense and risk of litigation. Product performance problems could result in loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance and the diversion of development
resources. If one or more of our products fails to perform or contains a technical defect, a client may assert a claim against us for substantial damages, whether or not we are responsible for the
product failure or defect. We do not currently maintain any warranty reserves.

Product
liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant settlements or damages. Although we maintain general liability
insurance, including coverage for errors and omissions, this coverage may not be sufficient to cover liabilities resulting from such product liability claims. Also, our insurer may disclaim coverage.
Our liability insurance also may not continue to be available to us on reasonable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all. Any product liability claims successfully brought against us would cause our
business to suffer.



Our success depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary technology rights. We rely on trade secret, copyright and
trademark laws, patents and confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties, all of which offer only limited protection. The steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property may
not prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights or the reverse engineering of our solutions. We may not be able to obtain any further patents or trademarks, and our pending applications may not
result in the issuance of patents or trademarks. Any of our issued patents may not be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights or could be successfully challenged by one or more third parties,
which could result in our loss of the right to prevent others from exploiting the inventions claimed in those patents. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope
of protection of intellectual property rights in other countries are uncertain and may afford little or no effective protection of our proprietary technology. Consequently, we may be unable to prevent
our proprietary technology from being exploited abroad, which could diminish international sales or require costly efforts to protect our technology. Policing the

18

---



unauthorized
use of our products, trademarks and other proprietary rights is expensive, difficult and, in some cases, impossible. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our
intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion
of management resources, either of which could harm our business. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our
intellectual property.



The software and Internet industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights, and by frequent litigation based
upon allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we seek to extend our CRM product and service offerings, we may be constrained by the intellectual property
rights of others. We have in the past been named as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging intellectual property infringement, and we may again in the future have to defend against intellectual property
lawsuits. We may not prevail in any future intellectual property infringement litigation given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in litigation. Any claims, regardless of their
merit, could be time-consuming and distracting to management, result in costly litigation or settlement, cause product development delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. If any of our products violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to re-engineer our products or seek to obtain licenses from third parties, which may not be
available on reasonable terms or at all. Because our sales agreements
typically require us to indemnify our clients from any claim or finding of intellectual property infringement, any such litigation or successful infringement claims could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Any efforts to re-engineer our products, obtain licenses from third parties on favorable terms or license a substitute technology
may not be successful and, in any case, may substantially increase our costs and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, our software products contain open source
software components that are licensed to us under various public domain licenses. While we believe we have complied with our obligations under the various applicable licenses for open source software
that we use, there is little or no legal precedent governing the interpretation of many of the terms of certain of these licenses and therefore the potential impact of such terms on our business is
somewhat unknown. Use of open source standards also may make us more vulnerable to competition because the public availability of open source software could make it easier for new market entrants and
existing competitors to introduce similar competing products quickly and cheaply.



In order to expand our addressable market, we may decide to acquire additional businesses, products and technologies. In May 2005, we acquired the assets of
Convergent Voice and in May 2006, we acquired Salesnet, Inc. Acquisitions could require significant capital infusions and could involve many risks, including, but not limited to, the following:



19

---









We
cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or consummate any future acquisitions on favorable terms, or at all. If we do pursue any future acquisitions, it is possible that we
may not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisitions or that the financial markets or investors will negatively view the acquisitions. Even if we successfully complete an acquisition, it
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.



Generally accepted accounting principles and accompanying accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations for many aspects of our
business, such as software revenue recognition, accounting for stock-based compensation, and income tax uncertainties, are complex and involve subjective judgments by management. Changes to generally
accepted accounting principles, their interpretation, or changes in our products or business could significantly change our reported earnings and financial condition and could add significant
volatility to those measures. For example, since our inception in 1997, we have used stock options as a fundamental component of our employee compensation programs. New accounting requirements that
began January 1, 2006 make the use of stock-based compensation much more expensive and introduce additional volatility in our results of operations. See Note 1(p) to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements andManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCritical Accounting
Policiesin this report for additional information on recently enacted changes to generally accepted accounting principles.



We have historically used stock options as a key component of our employee compensation because we believe it aligns employees' interests with our stockholders'
interest, encourages employee retention, and provides a competitive component of our overall compensation program. Due to the required adoption of SFAS 123R, and the recording of stock option
expense on our operating statements, we may determine that it is in our best interest to reduce the number or size of our stock-based awards, or change the type of awards granted. In doing so, we may
not be able to attract, retain and motivate our employees.



We may require additional capital to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new solutions or enhance our existing solutions, enhance our
operating infrastructure, fund expansion, respond to competitive pressures and acquire complementary businesses, products and technologies.

Absent
sufficient cash flow from operations, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds to meet our operating and capital needs. In addition, even though we may not
need additional funds, we may still elect to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities for other reasons. We may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing
on favorable terms, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could
suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common
stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more
difficult for us to obtain additional capital, to pay dividends and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, if we decide to raise funds through debt or
convertible debt financings, we may be unable to meet our interest or principal payments.



The future success of our products and our hosted business depends upon the continued and widespread adoption of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce,
communication and business applications. Our business growth would be impeded if the performance or perception of the Internet, or companies providing hosted solutions, was harmed by security problems
such as "viruses," "worms" and other malicious programs, reliability issues arising from outages and damage to Internet infrastructure, delays in development or adoption of new standards and protocols
to handle increased demands of Internet activity, increased costs, decreased accessibility and quality of service, or increased government regulation and taxation of Internet activity.

Federal,
state or foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting data privacy, the solicitation, collection,
processing or use of personal or consumer information, the use of the Internet as a commercial medium and the use of email for marketing or other consumer communications. In addition, government
agencies or private organizations may begin to impose taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet or for sending commercial email. These laws or charges could limit the growth of
Internet-related commerce or
communications generally, result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet-based services such as ours and reduce the demand for our products, particularly our RightNow
Marketing solution.

The
Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, significant user and traffic growth, which has, at times, caused user frustration with slow access and download
times. If Internet activity grows faster than Internet infrastructure or if the Internet infrastructure is otherwise unable to support the demands placed on it, or if hosting capacity becomes scarce,
our business growth may be adversely affected.



Businesses using our solutions collect personal information regarding their customers when those customers contact them with customer service inquiries. A
valuable component of our solutions is their ability to allow our clients to use and analyze their customers' information to increase sales, marketing and up-sell or cross-sell
opportunities. Federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies, however, have adopted and are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of
personal information obtained from consumers. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws and regulations that are applicable to the businesses of our clients

21

---



may
limit the use and adoption of this component of our solutions and reduce overall demand for our solutions. Furthermore, even where a client desires to make full use of these features in our
solutions, privacy concerns may cause our clients' customers to resist providing the personal data necessary to allow our clients to use our solutions most effectively. Even the perception of privacy
concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market acceptance of our products.

European
Union members have imposed restrictions on the collection and use of personal data that are far more stringent, and impose more significant burdens on subject businesses, than
current privacy standards in the United States. All of these domestic and international legislative and regulatory initiatives may adversely affect our clients' ability to collect and/or use
demographic and personal information from their customers, which could reduce demand for our solutions.

In
addition to government activity, privacy advocacy groups and the technology and direct marketing industries are considering various new, additional or different
self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on us. If the gathering of profiling information were to be curtailed in this manner, customer service CRM solutions would be
less effective, which would reduce demand for our solutions and harm our business.



In January 2004, the federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM Act, became
effective. The CAN-SPAM Act regulates the transmission and content of commercial emails and, among other things, obligates the sender of such emails to provide recipients with the ability
to opt-out of receiving future emails from the sender, and establishes penalties for the transmission of email messages which are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content.
Many state legislatures also have adopted laws that impact the delivery of commercial email, and laws that regulate commercial email practices have been enacted in many of the international
jurisdictions in which we do business, including Europe, Australia, and Canada. In addition, Internet service providers and licensors of software products have introduced a variety of systems and
products to filter out certain types of commercial email, without any common protocol to determine whether the recipient desired to receive the email being blocked. As a result, it is difficult for us
to determine in advance whether or not emails generated by our clients using our solutions will be permitted by spam filters to reach the intended recipients.

Our
RightNow Marketing solution specifically serves the market for mass distribution marketing and other email communications. The increasing regulation of email delivery, both
domestically and internationally, and the spam filtering practices of Internet service providers and email users generally, will place significant additional burdens on our clients who have outbound
communication programs, and may cause those clients to substantially change their outbound communications programs or abandon them altogether. These factors may lead to a reduction in sales of our
RightNow Marketing solution, may make it necessary to redesign our RightNow Marketing solution to make it easier for our clients to conform to the requirements of such laws and standards, which would
increase our expenses, or may make it necessary for us to redefine the market for and use of our RightNow Marketing solution, which could reduce our revenue.



Our clients consist of large and small companies in nearly all industry sectors and geographies. Potential new clients or existing clients could defer purchases
of our products because of unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, such as rising interest rates, fluctuations in currency exchange rates,

industry
or national economic downturns, industry purchasing patterns, and other factors. Our ability to grow revenues may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic conditions.



At December 31, 2007, Greg Gianforte, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, and his spouse, Susan Gianforte, have voting power over approximately 23.3%
of our outstanding common stock and, together with other officers and directors, have voting power over approximately 27.6% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, none of the shares of common
stock over which Mr. Gianforte and Mrs. Gianforte have voting power are subject to vesting restrictions. As a result, Mr. Gianforte and Mrs. Gianforte, acting together with
some of our other officers and directors, may be able to control matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, management changes and approval of significant corporate
transactions. This concentration of voting power may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of RightNow, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a
premium for their common stock as part of a sale of RightNow and might reduce the market price of our common stock.

In
addition, Mr. Gianforte beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a 50% membership interest in Genesis Partners, LLC, our landlord from whom we lease our principal
offices in Bozeman, Montana. Consequently, Mr. Gianforte has significant control over any decisions by Genesis Partners regarding renewal, modification or termination of our Bozeman, Montana
leases. In the event that our current leases with Genesis Partners were terminated or otherwise could not be renewed, or came up for renewal on commercially unreasonable terms, we would be required to
find alternative office space to lease or buy.



Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may
consider favorable and may limit the market price of our common stock. These provisions include the following:



It
is possible that the provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the voting rights held by insiders and the ability of our board of directors to issue
preferred stock without stockholder action may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, may discourage bids
for our common stock at a

premium
over the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Item 1B.    Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2.    Properties

Our corporate headquarters, including our principal administrative, marketing, technical support and research and development facilities, are located in Bozeman,
Montana, where we lease approximately 30,000 square feet with a term that expires in March 2011, and approximately 22,000 square feet under two leases with terms that expire in March and June 2010. In
February 2007 we entered into a new lease agreement for an additional 29,000 square feet in Bozeman with a term that expires in February 2017. We also currently occupy a number of sales and service
offices in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Washington D.C., Canada, Australia, Germany, Holland, Japan and the United Kingdom, where we lease or license the use of an aggregate of
approximately 80,000 square feet under multiple agreements, which have terms that expire between March 2008 and February 2014. We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet
our current needs, and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate expansion of our operations. See Note 10(a) to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsContractual Obligations and Commitments" for information regarding our lease
obligations.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the resolution of these matters will not have
a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2007.

graph above assumes that $100 was invested in the common stock of RightNow at its closing price and in each index, on August 5, 2004, and that all dividends were reinvested.
RightNow has not paid or declared any cash dividends on its common stock. The Standard Industrial Code ("SIC") used is 7372Prepackaged Software.

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that might incorporate future filings made by us under those statutes, neither the preceding Stock Performance Graph, nor the information relating to it, is "soliciting material" or is "filed" or is

Holders

On February 21, 2008, there were approximately 100 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock since converting from an S corporation to a C corporation at the end of 1999. We currently
intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities

On August 5, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. File
No. 333-115331) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connections with the initial public offering of our common stock, par value $.001 per share. We sold
6.4 million shares, including shares sold upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, for an aggregate offering price of $44.9 million, and 321,945 shares,
including shares sold upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, were sold by a selling stockholder for an aggregate offering price of $2.3 million. After deducting
$3.3 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and $1.8 million in other offering costs, we received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $40 million. None of
the expenses and none of our net proceeds from the offering were paid directly or indirectly to any director, officer, general
partner of RightNow or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of RightNow, or an affiliate of RightNow.

In
May 2005, we spent $1 million of the offering proceeds to acquire the assets of Convergent Voice. In May 2006, we spent $8.7 million of the offering proceeds to acquire
Salesnet, Inc. We currently intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes as described in the prospectus for the offering. Pending these uses, the remaining net proceeds
from the offering are invested in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer or Affiliated Purchasers

We did not repurchase any of our common stock in the fourth quarter of 2007.

2007 Business Model Changes

To better align with industry practice, beginning in 2007 we changed our product offerings from software license arrangements to subscription service arrangements
(e.g. "subscriptions"). As the industry and business models for "software as a service" or "on demand" have evolved, the standard form of sales arrangements are service agreements rather than
licenses of software that can be hosted. We believe providing offerings in this manner will ultimately increase our market penetration.

28

---



Accordingly, our terms of sale have been revised to provide a hosting service where the customer accesses the software and data through the Internet. Our previous terms of sale provided
the customer a software license, and for no additional fee the customer could choose to have the software hosted by us, by themselves or by someone else. Revenue recognition for service arrangements
was not materially different from our previous term license arrangements, as revenue under either type of contract is generally recognized ratably over the period of the agreement. As a result of this
change, the amount of deferred revenue on the balance sheet under subscription arrangements decreased since only the amount currently due from the customer is recorded to accounts receivable and
deferred revenue. Conversely, under software license arrangements, the full customer commitment is recorded to receivables and deferred revenue whether or not currently due because we have the
contractual right to collect the entire arrangement fee.

As
part of this business model change, we essentially discontinued sales of perpetual software licenses which represented 21% of our revenue in 2006 as compared to approximately 2% of
our revenue in 2007. Although we expect to ultimately increase the lifetime value of our customer arrangements through sales of subscriptions, the substantive elimination of perpetual license sales
materially and adversely impacted our operating results for 2007 when compared to 2006 as perpetual revenue has generally been recognized in full upon delivery of the license.

Lastly,
our policy for subscription contract acquisition costs, such as sales commissions, is to recognize them in proportion to the revenue recognized under the subscription
arrangement. Since the majority of new business was subscriptions in 2007, we believe this policy had and will have a material and beneficial impact on our 2007 and 2008 operating results,
respectively. Commissions paid on license sales and professional services continue to be expensed when earned.

Sources of Revenue

Our revenue is comprised of fees for software, hosting and support, and fees for professional services.

Software,
hosting and support revenue includes fees earned under subscriptions and software license arrangements. Subscription arrangements include a bundled fee to access the software
and data through our hosting services, and support services. Subscription revenue is recorded ratably over the length of the agreement. Our hosting services provide remote management and maintenance
of our software and
customers' data which is physically located in third party facilities. Customers access "hosted" software and data through a secure Internet connection. Support services include technical assistance
for our software products and unspecified product upgrades and enhancements on a when and if available basis.

License
arrangements can be over time (a "term" license) or perpetual. For term licenses, software, hosting and support revenue is recognized ratably over the length of the agreement.
Perpetual license revenue is generally recorded in full upon delivery of the license, and the hosting and support elements are recognized ratably over the contractual period. Perpetual license revenue
ranged from 21% to 25% of our total revenue from 2004 through 2006. Due to the change in our business model noted above, perpetual license revenue decreased from $22.8 million, or 21% of
revenue in the year ending December 31, 2006 to $2.1 million, or 2% of revenue in the year ending December 31, 2007.

We
refer to "recurring revenue" in this report, which includes software, hosting and support revenue from term license and subscription agreements.

Our
sales arrangements generally provide customers with the right to use our software up to a maximum number of users or transactions. A number of our arrangements provide for additional
fees for usage above the maximum, which are billed and recognized into revenue when determinable and earned.

Professional
services revenue is comprised of revenue from consulting, education, development services, and reimbursement of related travel costs. Consulting and education services
include implementation and best practices consulting. Development services include customizations and integrations for a client's specific business application. Professional services revenue was
approximately 22% of total revenue in the past three years.

Professional
services are typically sold with initial sales arrangements and then periodically over the client engagement. Our typical education courses are billed on a per person, per
class basis.

Depending
on the size and complexity of the client project, our consulting or development services contracts are either fixed price/fixed scope or, more frequently, billed on a time and
materials basis. We have determined that the professional services element of our software and subscription arrangements is not essential to the functionality of the software.

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue.Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and related expenses (such as employee benefits, stock based
compensation and payroll taxes) for our hosting, support and professional services organizations, third-party costs and equipment depreciation relating to our hosting services, third-party costs for
voice enabled CRM applications, travel expenses related to providing professional services to our clients, amortization of acquired intangible assets and allocated overhead. We allocate most overhead
expenses, such as office supplies, computer supplies, utilities, rent, depreciation for furniture and equipment, payroll taxes and employee benefits, based on headcount. As a result, these common
overhead expenses are reflected in each cost of revenue and operating expense category.

Sales and Marketing Expenses.Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for employees
in sales and marketing, including commissions and bonuses, advertising, marketing events, corporate communications, product management expenses, travel costs and allocated overhead. For subscription
arrangements, we expense the related sales commission in proportion to the revenue recognized. We expense our sales commissions on license arrangements when earned, which is typically at the time the
related sale is invoiced to the client. Since the majority of our historical revenue has been from license arrangements recognized over time, we have experienced a delay between increasing sales and
marketing expenses and the recognition of corresponding revenue. We expect significant additional increases in sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars as we continue to hire additional sales
and marketing personnel and increase the level of marketing activities.

Research and Development Expenses.Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses for
development personnel and costs related to the development of new products, enhancement of existing products, translation fees, quality assurance, testing and allocated overhead. To date, we have not
capitalized internal software development costs because the timing of the commercial releases of our products has substantially coincided with the attainment of technological feasibility. We intend to
continue to expand and enhance our product offerings. To accomplish this, we plan to hire additional personnel and, from time to time, contract with third parties. We expect that research and
development expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we seek to expand our technology and product offerings.

General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses for
management, finance and accounting, legal, information systems and human resources personnel, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We anticipate that we will incur
additional employee salaries and related expenses, professional service fees and insurance costs related to the growth of our business and operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These assumptions are affected by management's application of
accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, valuation of receivables and deferred tax assets, and accounting for share-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

Beginning in 2007, we changed the nature of our sales arrangements from license arrangements to subscription arrangements ("subscriptions"). For a bundled fee,
subscriptions provide the customer with access to the software and data over the Internet, or on demand, and provide technical support services and software upgrades when and if available. Under
subscriptions, customers do not have the right to take possession of the software and, in accordance with EITF 00-03 such arrangements are considered service contracts which are
outside the scope of SOP 97-2. Accordingly, we account for sales of subscriptions under EITF 00-21 and recognize subscription revenue ratably over the length of
the agreement in accordance with SAB 104.

Prior
to 2007, we sold the majority of products under software license arrangements ("licenses") and accounted for them in accordance with SOP 97-2 and
SOP 98-9. Licenses generally include multiple elements that are delivered up front or over time. For example, under a term license, we deliver the software up front and provide
hosting and support services over time. Fair value for each element in a license does not exist since none are sold separately, and consequently, the bundled revenue is recognized ratably over the
length of the agreement. Under a perpetual license, vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of the hosting and support elements is based on the price charged at renewal when sold separately,
and therefore the license element is recognized immediately into revenue upon delivery using the residual method, and the hosting and support elements are recognized ratably over the contractual term.

The
application of these rules requires judgment, including the identification of individual elements in multiple element arrangements, whether there is objective and reliable evidence
of fair value, including vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value, for some or all elements. Changes to the
elements in our sales arrangements, or our ability to establish VSOE or fair value for those elements may result in a material change to the amount of revenue recorded in a given period.

Fees
charged for professional services are recognized when delivered. We believe the fees for professional services qualify for separate accounting because: a) the services have
value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; b) objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for these services; and c) performance of the services is considered probable and
does not involve unique customer acceptance criteria.

Our
standard payment terms are net 30, although payment within 90 days is considered normal. We periodically provide extended payment terms and we consider any fees due beyond
90 days to not be fixed and determinable In such cases, judgment is required in determining the appropriate timing of revenue recognition. Changes to our practice of providing extended payment
terms or providing concessions following a sale, may result in a material change to the amount of revenue recorded in a given period.

31

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We regularly assess the collectibility of outstanding customer invoices and, in so doing, we maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the
non-collection of customer receivables. In estimating this allowance, we consider factors such as: historical collection experience; a customer's current creditworthiness; customer
concentration; age of the receivable balance; and general economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. Actual customer collections could differ from our estimates and exceed our
related loss allowance.

Income Taxes

We record income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and
liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When applicable, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset when it is determined that it
is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

We
have established a valuation allowance equal to our net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties regarding the realization of our net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits, and
deductible timing differences. The uncertainty of realizing these benefits is based primarily on our lack of taxable earnings.

Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainties in
Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48) and it did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
FIN 48 requires judgment when evaluating tax positions. The ultimate resolution of tax issues may result in a significant change to our recorded tax assets and liabilities.

Share-Based Compensation

We have adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share Based
Payment, ("SFAS 123R") beginning January 1, 2006 utilizing the modified prospective method. This statement requires the cost of share-based payment arrangements
to be recorded in the statement of operations. Prior to 2006, the estimated cost of share-based payment arrangements was disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements. Share-based compensation
amounts are affected by our stock price as well as our assumptions regarding the expected volatility of our stock, our employee stock option exercise behaviors, forfeitures, and the related income tax
effects. Our assumptions are based primarily on our historical information, some of which was developed when we were a private company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. On February 12,
2008, FSP FAS 157-2 was issued delaying the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities
that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We do not believe adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on
our financial statements.

32

---



The
guidance in FASB Statement No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, is effective as of
the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected assets and liabilities (principally
financial assets and financial liabilities) at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings
caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that
choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities, and does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. We do not believe adoption
of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on our financial statements.

In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R requires the use of "full fair value" to record all the identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination.
SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The requirements are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We do not
believe adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material effect on our financial statements.

In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 requires the noncontrolling interests (minority interests) to be recorded at fair value and reported as a component of equity.
SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The requirements are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We do not
believe adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Overview of 2007

Total revenue for the full year 2007 was $112.1 million, compared to full year 2006 revenue of $110.4 million. Within software, hosting and support,
recurring revenue increased 34% in 2007 over 2006, which was offset by a 91% decline in perpetual license revenue. The decline in perpetual license revenue resulted from our business model change
during 2007 to predominantly offer subscription

34

---



service
agreements instead of software license agreements. Recurring revenue increased in 2007 due to growth in average revenue per customer.

Revenue
per customer increased primarily from customer purchases of additional capacity and products, including RightNow 8.0. Sales to customers with annual revenues greater than
$1 billion and the public sector made up approximately 59% of total revenue in 2007, up from approximately 56% of total revenue in 2006 and 55% in 2005.

During
2007 we continued to invest in our operations by adding capacity and a new data center for our hosting operations, sales and marketing personnel to focus on new customer
acquisition, professional services personnel to support our solution offerings, and software developers to broaden and enhance our solution offerings. These investments caused total expenses to
increase 14% during 2007. The increase in operating expenses combined with a lower proportion of perpetual license revenue resulted in an operating loss of 19% of revenue in 2007.

For
the year ended December 31, 2007, we generated $21 million of cash from operations compared to $27 million of cash in 2006, and increased our cash and
short-term investments balances to $96.3 million at December 31, 2007 from $78.3 million one year earlier.

As
of December 31, 2007 we had an accumulated deficit of $56.9 million. This deficit and our historical operating losses were primarily the result of costs incurred in the
development, sales and marketing of our products and for general and administrative purposes.

Total
revenue for 2007 was $112.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 2%, over total revenue of $110.4 million for 2006.

Software,
hosting and support revenue, consisting of recurring revenue and perpetual license revenue, increased $726,000, or 1%, over software, hosting and support revenue of
$86.3 million for 2006. Recurring revenue comprised of subscriptions, term licenses, hosting and support, increased 34% over 2006 primarily due to a 22% increase in average recurring revenue
per customer. Total active customers remained relatively constant at approximately 1,800 at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Average recurring revenue per customer increased as a
result of customer purchases of additional capacity and additional products. Customer interactions, a measure of unique customer sessions hosted in our data centers, were approximately
1.5 billion in 2007, a 40% increase over 2006. Our client retention rate was approximately 90% in 2007 and 2006.

Perpetual
license revenue decreased $20.7 million, or 91%, in 2007 over 2006, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 2% in 2007 from 21% in 2006. We believe this
decrease resulted from accelerating customer adoption of on demand software. Beginning in 2007, we changed the nature of our sales arrangements from software licenses to subscriptions, which largely
eliminated sales of perpetual licenses. The mix of perpetual license revenue affects our profitability in any given period

since
it is recorded in full into revenue upon delivery instead of being recorded ratably into revenue over time, as is the case with subscriptions and term licenses.

Professional
services revenue increased $963,000, or 4%, in 2007 over 2006. The growth in professional services revenue is primarily due to a higher volume of large customer projects in
the current year. Customers generally purchase professional services with initial license or subscription arrangements, and periodically over the life of the contract. We also increased our capacity
to deliver professional services by growing headcount in that organization to 142 at December 31, 2007 from 138 at December 31, 2006.

The
mix of professional services revenue affects our profitability from period-to-period due to the lower gross profit earned on professional services as compared
to the gross profit earned on software, hosting and support revenue. Professional services revenue represented 22% of total revenue in 2007, 2006 and 2005, and we expect it to range between 20% and
25% of total revenue in the future.

Total
revenue for 2006 was $110.4 million, an increase of $23.2 million, or 27%, over total revenue of $87.1 million for 2005.

Software,
hosting and support revenue, consisting of recurring revenue and perpetual license revenue, increased $18.3 million, or 27%, over software, hosting and support revenue
of $67.9 million for 2005. Recurring revenue increased 38% over 2005 primarily due to a 24% increase in the average number of customers and an 11% increase in average revenue per customer.
Total active customers increased to approximately 1,800 at December 31, 2006 as compared to approximately 1,500 at the end of 2005, due in part to our acquisition of Salesnet, Inc. in
May, 2006, and from our focus on new customer acquisition in our sales and marketing organizations. Average revenue per customer increased as a result of sales of new products, capacity upgrades, and
contract renewals. Customer interactions exceeded 1 billion in 2006, a 43% increase over 2005. Our client retention rate was approximately 90% in 2006 and 2005.

Beginning
January 1, 2006, software, hosting and support revenue includes the value of certain tools that had been categorized as professional services revenue in prior periods.
This change in revenue classification follows the transfer of ongoing development and support responsibility for these tools from the professional services organization to the product development
organization effective January 1, 2006.

Perpetual
license revenue increased $921,000, or 4%, in 2006 over 2005, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 21% in 2006 from 25% in 2005. During 2006 and 2005, quarterly
perpetual license revenue ranged from 17% to 29% of total revenue, but consistently decreased as a percent of our overall new business.

Professional
services revenue increased $4.9 million, or 26%, in 2006 over 2005, due to growth in the average number of customers and growth in average professional services
revenue per customer. Average revenue per customer increased during 2006 and 2005 primarily due to our focus on expanding services offered in conjunction with our broader product offerings. We also
increased our capacity to deliver professional services by growing headcount in that organization to 138 at December 31, 2006 from 96 at December 31, 2005.

Total cost of revenue for 2007 was $40.4 million, an increase of $8 million, or 25% over total cost of revenue of $32.4 million in 2006.

Cost
of software, hosting and support increased $5.2 million, or 39% in 2007 due primarily to capacity additions to our hosting data centers, including a new data center in
Chicago, Illinois, the full year effect of a data center in London, England, which was added in mid-2006, increased voice and non-voice hosting volume and staff additions. The
addition of these data centers and growth in customer interactions increased third party hosting provider costs by $2.3 million in 2007 over 2006, and capacity additions to our data centers
increased depreciation expense in 2007 by $738,000 over 2006. Staff additions to our hosting and technical support organizations and annual merit increases increased salaries and related expenses
(i.e. salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation) by $1.3 million during 2007 over 2006, and increased common expense allocation (i.e. payroll taxes, benefits, office rent,
supplies and other overhead expenses) by $700,000. Common expenses, which are allocated based upon headcount, increased during 2007 primarily due to capacity additions which increased office rent,
payroll taxes, and depreciation expense pertaining to computer equipment and office furniture. Average employee count in our hosting and technical support operations was 80 in 2007 as compared to 68
in 2006. As a percent of the associated revenue, software, hosting and support costs were 21% in 2007 as compared to 15% in 2006 due to the lower revenue contribution from perpetual licenses combined
with the capacity increases noted above.

Cost
of professional services increased $2.9 million, or 15%, in 2007 due to employee staff additions partly offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses. Average employee
count in our professional services organization grew to 142 in 2007 from 124 in 2006, which combined with annual merit increases, increased salaries and related expenses by $2.9 million, and
increased common expense allocation by $1.2 million. As a percent of the associated revenue, professional services costs increased to 88% in 2007 from 79% in 2006. Employee training, customer
scheduling requirements, and use of third-party resources can cause the cost of professional services to fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period.

Total
cost of revenue for 2006 was $32.4 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 54%, over total cost of revenue of $21.1 million in 2005.

Cost
of software, hosting and support increased $4.1 million, or 46%, in 2006 over 2005 due to capacity additions to our hosting data centers, including a new data center in
London, England, staff additions, and increased hosting volume. Capacity additions to our data centers increased depreciation expense in 2006 by $1.3 million over 2005. Salaries and related
expenses increased $800,000 in 2006 over 2005 due
to growth in headcount, and increased common expense allocation by $500,000. Average employee count in our hosting and technical support operations was 68 in 2006 as compared to 58 in 2005. Customer
interactions through our data centers increased 43% in 2006 over 2005, which increased third party hosting provider costs by $758,000. 2006 costs also include stock-based compensation expenses of
$193,000. As a percent of the associated revenue, software, hosting and support costs were 15% in 2006 as compared to 13% in 2005 due to a lower proportion of perpetual revenue to total revenue in
2006 and the cost increases noted above.

Cost
of professional services increased $7.2 million, or 60%, in 2006 over 2005 primarily due to employee staff additions and use of third party providers for large consulting
engagements and capacity management. Average employee count in our professional services organization grew to 124 in 2006 from 87 in 2005, which increased salaries and related expenses by
$3.2 million, increased common expense allocation by $1.2 million, and increased travel and entertainment expenses by $836,000. Employee additions in 2006 were primarily for delivery
consultants located near our customers and technical personnel. Third party fees for certain large consulting engagements and capacity management increased contract services expenses by
$1.0 million in 2006 over 2005. 2006 professional services costs also included $471,000 of stock-based compensation expense. As a percent of the

associated
revenue, professional services costs increased to 79% in 2006 from 62% in 2005 due to the revenue reclassification noted above under the revenue discussion, increased use of third party
providers for large consulting engagements, and the addition of stock-based compensation expense in 2006.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses of $65.1 million in 2007 were 6%, or $3.6 million, greater than $61.5 million in 2006. Staff additions to our
sales and marketing organization increased common expense allocation by $1.8 million, and salary and related expense increased $1.0 million primarily due to increased headcount and
annual merit increases. Average employee count in our sales and marketing organizations increased to 263 in 2007 from 251 in 2006. Additionally we increased our investment in third-party marketing
services by $800,000. Employee additions in 2007 were primarily for direct sales personnel, sales engineers, business development representatives, and marketing personnel. Offsetting the increased
salaries and related expenses were lower sales commission expenses caused by the deferral of sales commissions earned on subscription agreements. As noted above, we changed the primary nature of our
sales arrangements from licenses to subscriptions beginning in 2007. Under license arrangements, we expense sales commissions when earned, which is typically upon issuance of a customer invoice. Under
subscription arrangements, we defer the related sales commission costs and expense them in proportion to the revenue recognized. We deferred $5 million of sales commissions earned on
subscription sales as of December 31, 2007, as compared to $213,000 deferred sales commissions as of December 31, 2006.

Sales
and marketing expenses of $61.5 million in 2006 were 44%, or $18.8 million, greater than expenses of $42.7 million in 2005. Average employee count in our sales
and marketing organizations increased to 251 in 2006 from 195 in 2005, which increased salaries and related expenses by $5.3 million, increased
travel and entertainment expenses by $1.6 million, and increased common expense allocation by $2.0 million. We also increased expenses for advertising and promotional activities by
$2.0 million in 2006 over 2005. 2006 stock-based compensation expense for our sales and marketing employees was $1.9 million.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $2.6 million, or 18%, more than research and development expenses over 2006, primarily due to increased
salaries and related expenses and third party services. Salary and related expense increased $1.3 million primarily due to staff additions and annual merit increases, and common expense
allocation increased by $800,000. Average employee count in our research and development organization increased to 133 in 2007 from 125 in 2006. Higher outside service costs of $440,000 were incurred
during 2007 principally related to language translations for our newest product, RightNow 8, and subsequent quarterly releases.

Research
and development expenses increased $4.1 million, or 39%, in 2006 over 2005 primarily due to employee staff additions. Average employee count in our research and
development organization increased to 125 in 2006 from 100 in 2005, which increased salaries and related expenses by $2.3 million, and increased common expense allocation by $600,000. Principal
activities during 2006 included the development of our newest product, RightNow 8, which was made generally available to customers in February 2007. Stock-based compensation expense in 2006 for our
research and development employees was $834,000.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 20%, in 2007 over 2006 mostly due to staff additions, annual merit increases and increased
common expense allocation. Average employees in our general and administrative organization were 68 in 2007 as compared to 59 in 2006. Employee additions in 2007 were primarily for finance, accounting
and information technology personnel.

General
and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million, or 49%, in 2006 over 2005 mostly due to staff additions, stock-compensation expense, and increased common expense
allocation. Average employees in our general and administrative organization were 59 in 2006 as compared to 41 in 2005, which increased salaries and related expenses by $1.1 million, and
increased common expense allocation
by $400,000. 2006 stock-based compensation expense for general and administrative employees and board of directors was $1.2 million.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation expense for 2007 was $5.5 million, a 20% increase as compared to $4.6 million in 2006. The
year-over-year increase in stock-based compensation expense results primarily from growth in the fair market value of our stock since our initial public offering in 2004, which
in turn drives growth in the estimated fair value of our stock options and the corresponding expense. Stock-based compensation expense fluctuates from period-to-period due to
changes in the underlying market value of our stock and changes in our valuation assumptions, such as the expected volatility of our stock, the expected time an option will be outstanding, and
expected option forfeiture rates.

We
adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R,Share Based Payment,beginning January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective
method. The 2005 financial statements have not been restated to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Interest
income increased 28% in 2007 over 2006 primarily due to growth in our cash and short-term investment balances, and to a lesser extent increased average yields on
invested funds. Cash and investment balances have increased primarily from cash generated by the business. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of short-term, investment-grade
government and corporate debt instruments.

Interest
income increased 82% in 2006 over 2005 due to growth in the average yield-to-maturity in our investment portfolio, as well as growth in our cash and
short-term investment balances. Investment yields had risen along with the periodic increases in the federal funds rate.

Interest expense for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was comprised of the interest component under various capital lease obligations. Other income (expense) consisted primarily of gains or losses on
asset sales and foreign currency transaction gains or losses. Currency transaction losses increased in 2007 over 2006 due to the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar during 2007.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes of $276,000 in 2007, $530,000 in 2006, and $478,000 in 2005, consists primarily of the federal alternative minimum tax, foreign
withholding taxes, and various state income taxes. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits,
federal alternative minimum taxes, foreign rate differentials, and non-deductible meal and entertainment expenses. Our effective tax rate in 2008 will depend on a number of factors, such
as the amount and mix of stock-based compensation expense to be recorded under SFAS 123R, the level of business in state and foreign tax jurisdictions, management's expectation of the
realization of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowance, and other factors.

At
December 31, 2007, we had approximately $24.4 million of net deferred tax assets that have been reserved in full by a valuation allowance. In the future, if available
evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets are realizable, an adjustment to decrease the valuation allowance would increase income and equity or
reduce goodwill, in the period such determination was made. If and when that happens, our effective income tax rate will increase to more closely approximate the federal statutory rate.

Quarterly Results of Operations

The following table sets forth selected unaudited quarterly consolidated statements of operations data for each of the eight quarters through December 31,
2007. This information is unaudited but, in management's opinion, has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
report and includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that our management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the quarters presented.

This
information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. We believe that
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of

Software, hosting and support revenue has fluctuated for the quarterly periods presented primarily due to changes in the volume of perpetual
license sales. In 2007, we substantially eliminated sales of perpetual licenses. The mix of term and perpetual software licenses sold in each quarter impacts our quarterly results of operations.
During the quarters of 2006 and 2007, perpetual license revenue

trended
lower as a percent of our overall new business, which we believe was caused by accelerating customer adoption of on demand software and sales arrangements in 2007, and our business model
change to essentially eliminate perpetual revenue from our business model.

Professional
services revenue has ranged from 21% to 24% of total revenue, and generally increased in dollar terms due to the expansion of our solution usage in our customer base.
Quarter-to-quarter variations in professional services revenue occurs because of customer scheduling requirements, and training and education of newly hired personnel.

As
a percentage of revenue, all cost and expense categories increased in 2007 as compared to 2006 mostly due to the substantial elimination of perpetual license revenue beginning in
2007. Sequential quarterly improvement in operating margins in 2007 resulted primarily from growth in recurring revenue.

The
amount and timing of our operating results generally will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our level of actual and anticipated business activities. Factors affecting
quarterly operating results can include, but are not limited to:

Our
revenue and operating results may fluctuate and we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results will not necessarily be meaningful. As
a result, you should not rely upon them as an indication of our future performance. We have experienced seasonality in certain aspects of our business including increased purchasing when our clients'
fiscal years are ending. Our U.S. federal government clients' fiscal years end in September and most of our Japanese clients' fiscal years end in March.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

|                                      |  | Year Ended December 31, |       
|------------------------------------- |  | ----------------------- | ------
|
|
|Deferred revenue                      |  | $                       | 67,923
|Cash provided by operating activities |  |                         | 14,895

We
have historically funded our operations with cash from operations, equity financings and debt borrowings. At December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents, and
short-term investments, totaled $96.3 million. In addition to our cash and short-term investments, other sources of liquidity at December 31, 2007 included a
$3.0 million bank line of credit facility, under which there were no borrowings in 2006 or 2007.

Operating
activities provided $21.0 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $27.0 million in 2006 and $14.9 million in 2005.
The majority of our cash from operations in all three years was from net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash charges, collection of receivables, partially offset by growth in deferred
commissions. We typically bill customers on net 30-day terms at the beginning of the contract period, which is reflected in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. In periods of
increasing sales, we would expect growth in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. This growth, historically, has provided funding for operations. A change in the billing practice resulting in
delayed payment terms could have a material adverse effect on cash provided from operating activities and growth in deferred revenue. Our deferred revenue was consistent year over year at
$115 million mostly due to the shift in our business model at the beginning of 2007, which resulted in deferred revenue representing the amount currently due and payable. Under license
arrangements, the full customer commitment is reflected in accounts receivable for amounts currently due, or term receivables for amounts due over the contractual term, and deferred revenue.

The
allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable represented approximately 5% of current accounts and term receivables at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Accounts
written off in 2007 were relatively constant as a percentage of new billings from the previous year. We regularly assess the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual
write-offs could exceed our estimates and adversely affect operating cash flows in the future.

We
have approximately $5.8 million of payments due in 2008 under contractual obligations and purchase commitments for operating and capital leases, hosting services and other
items. Total purchase commitments at December 31, 2007 were $18.1 million to be paid per the schedule below. We believe we will generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy these
commitments in 2008.

Investing
activities consumed $20.8 million in 2007, which included $13.5 million net purchases of short-term investments, and $7.3 million for capital
expenditures. Capital asset additions during the past three years consisted of equipment acquisitions for our hosting operations and employee growth, and are expected to range between
$7 million and $8 million for 2008. Business acquisitions in 2006 and 2005 required $8.7 million to acquire Salesnet, Inc., and $1 million for the assets of
Convergent Voice, respectively. Cash used in investing activities in 2006 was $32.3 million, of which $15.8 million was due

to
net purchases of short-term investments. In 2005, investing activities provided 1.9 million due to liquidation of short-term investments offset primarily by purchases of property and
equipment.

Financing
activities provided $3.8 million in 2007, $3.1 million in 2006 and $5.4 million in 2005. Financing sources included the exercise of employee stock options
under our equity incentive plan and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan.

We
believe our existing cash and short-term investments, together with funds generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund operating and investment requirements for
at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth and expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the possible
acquisition of complementary products or businesses, the timing and extent of spending required for research and development efforts, and the continuing market acceptance of our products. To the
extent that available funds are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings. Additional equity or debt
financing may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

As
of December 31, 2007, the Company held approximately $18.3 million in auction rate securities with investment grades of AAA or AA. Auction rate securities are
long-term bonds or preferred stocks that act like short-term debt, in which interest rates reset in Dutch auctions held daily, weekly or monthly which historically provided
liquidity for these investments. Despite the long-term contractual maturities of the auction rate securities, all of these securities are available for sale and were available to fund the
Company's current operations. All securities experienced successful auctions subsequent to year end. However, in February and March 2008, uncertainties in the credit markets caused all auctions of the
Company's securities to be unsuccessful. An unsuccessful auction is an event when there are fewer securities bid for than are available for sale. Upon an unsuccessful auction, the security is reset at
a predetermined interest rate. Given that all of the securities experienced successful auctions subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company does not believe that the current state of the
credit markets requires it to adjust the fair value of its portfolio of auction rate securities or to reclassify them as long-term marketable securities on its December 31, 2007
Consolidated Balance Sheets. To date, we have collected all interest payable on all of our auction rate securities when due. If the auction rate securities continue to experience unsuccessful
auctions, or if the credit rating of the auction rate security issuer or the thirdparty insurer of the issuers of the investments underlying the securities deteriorates, we may be
required to reclassify the securities on our Balance Sheet and/or adjust the carrying value of the auction rate security through an impairment charge. While the recent auction failures will limit our
ability to liquidate these investments for some period of time, we do not believe
the auction failures will materially impact our ability to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividend payments or other business requirements. The Company will continue to monitor
the state of the credit markets and its potential impact, if any, on the fair value and classification of our portfolio of auction rate securities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2007, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual payment obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2007:

|                                      |  | Payments Due by Period
|------------------------------------- |  | ----------------------
|

|Operating lease obligations           |  | $                     
|Obligations under capital leases      |  |                       
|Purchase obligationshosting services |  |                       
|Purchase obligationsother            |  |                       
|                                      |  |                       
|Total                                 |  | $                     
|                                      |  |                       

We
lease our office facilities and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2014. Obligations under capital leases pertain to
certain tenant improvements in our main office facility. Purchase obligations consist of agreements with third parties to provide co-location services for hosting operations, and
obligations for marketing and other miscellaneous services.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuation due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro, British
pound, Australian dollar and Japanese yen, because our contracts are frequently denominated in local currency. In the future, we may utilize foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage
currency exposures. We do not currently have any such contracts in place, nor did we enter into any such contracts during the years ended December 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our investments consist of short-term, interest-bearing securities, which are subject to credit and interest rate risk. Our portfolio is
investment-grade and diversified among issuers and security types to reduce credit risk. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining a large portion of our investment portfolio in instruments with
short maturities or frequent interest rate resets. We also manage interest rate risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents such that we are able to hold investments until maturity. If
market interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points from the level at December 31, 2007, the fair value of our portfolio would decline by approximately $343,000.

Liquidation and Valuation Risk

Our short-term investments consist of approximately $18.3 million in auction rate securities with investment grades of AAA or AA, as of
December 31, 2007. Despite the long-term contractual maturities of the auction rate securities, all of these securities are available for sale. In March and February 2008
uncertainties in the credit markets caused all auctions of the Company's securities to be unsuccessful. If the issuers are unable to successfully close future auctions or their credit ratings
deteriorate, we may be required to record an impairment charge on these investments. Based on the Company's expected operating cash flows, and other sources and uses of cash, the Company does not
anticipate that the lack of liquidity on these investments will affect its ability to execute its current business plan. The Company will continue to monitor the state of the credit markets and its
potential impact, if any, on the fair value and classification of our portfolio of auction rate securities.

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2007 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal accounting officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)   Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent completed fiscal quarter covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in

over financial reporting.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting as defined under the Exchange Act
Rules 13a15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting
and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records
that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in
accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements
would be prevented or detected.

Management
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework inInternal
ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting which is included in this
Item 9A below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The
Board of Directors and Stockholders
RightNow Technologies Inc.:

We
have audited RightNow Technologies Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). RightNow
Technologies Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit.

We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In
our opinion, RightNow Technologies Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on
criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.

We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of RightNow
Technologies Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The
Board of Directors and Stockholders
RightNow Technologies Inc.:

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RightNow Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RightNow Technologies Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective
January 1, 2006 and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, effective
January 1, 2007.

We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), RightNow Technologies Inc.'s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect the Company's operating results. The Company has historically derived a majority of
its revenue from customer service software solutions. These products are expected to continue to account for a significant portion of revenue for the foreseeable future. As a result of this revenue
concentration, the Company's business could be harmed by a decline in demand for, or in the prices of, these products or as a result of, among other factors, any change in pricing model, a maturation
in the markets for these products, increased price competition or a failure by the Company to keep up with technological change.

Financial
instruments subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts and term
receivables. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments with various domestic and foreign financial institutions. From time to time, the Company's cash
balances with its financial institutions may exceed insurance limits. Short-term investments are investment grade, interest-earning securities, and are diversified by type and industry.

The
Company's customers are worldwide with approximately 74% of sales in the United States during 2005, 75% in 2006 and approximately 71% of sales in the United States during 2007. No
individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenue in 2005, 2006 or 2007. One customer represented 13% of term receivables at December 31, 2006, and one customer
represented 12% of term receivables at December 31, 2007. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivables at December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Assets
located outside North America were 12% and 14% of total assets at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The loss from operations outside the United States totaled
$6.2 million,

The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Significant
items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: elements comprising our software, hosting and support sales arrangements and their respective fair values; the carrying amount of property and
equipment and intangible assets; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax assets; and estimates of expected term and volatility in determining stock-based compensation expense.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which
approximates market value.

Short-term
investments in debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair market value as determined by
quotations from national exchanges. Realized gains and losses are included in income based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses (excluding
other-than-temporary impairments), net of tax, are recorded to Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of stockholders' equity.

Investments
are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair market value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the cost of an investment exceeds its
fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent that cost is less than fair value, as well as our ability and intent to hold the investment. We also
consider specific adverse conditions of the investee, including industry and sector performance, operational and cash flow factors, and rating agency actions. Once a decline in fair market value is
determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis for the investment is established.

Accounts
receivable represents amounts currently due from customers for which revenue has been recognized or is being recognized ratably in future periods, and amounts currently due
under contract billings for which revenue has not been recognized. In license arrangements, term receivables include the remaining minimum committed amounts due from customers for which no revenue has
been recognized. The Company performs credit evaluations when considered necessary, but generally does not require collateral to extend credit.

The
allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing receivables. The Company determines the allowance
based on factors such as historical collection experience, customer's current creditworthiness, customer concentration, age of accounts receivable balance and general economic conditions that may
affect a customer's ability to pay. Actual customer collections could differ from estimates. Account balances are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Provisions
to the allowance for doubtful accounts are charged to expense for accounts receivable and against deferred revenue for term receivables. Following is a summary of the activity

Property
and equipment, including software purchased for internal use, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to seven years. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Intangible
assets include purchased technologies and goodwill. Purchased technologies are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes these assets on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in business
acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment at least annually and more often if indicators of potential impairment exist.

(1) Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The
Company earns its revenues from the delivery of software, hosting, and support services, and from the delivery of professional services. Software, hosting and support services are
sold under subscription arrangements and license arrangements. In 2007, the Company essentially discontinued sales of perpetual licenses. Hosting and support services involve the remote management of
the software, technical assistance, and unspecified product upgrades and enhancements on a when and if available basis. Professional services include consulting, training and development services.

The
Company recognizes revenue for subscriptions and licenses when all of the following criteria are met: a) the Company has entered into a legally binding agreement with the
customer; b) the software has been made available or delivered to the customer; c) the Company's fee for providing the software and services is fixed or determinable; and
d) collection of the Company's fee is probable.

Subscriptions
include access to the Company's software through its hosting services, technical support, and product upgrades when and if available, all for a bundled fee. The Company
accounts for subscriptions, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21,Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables("EITF 00-21"). Under EITF 00-21, value is allocated to each deliverable of an arrangement using
prices established when the elements are sold stand-alone. Stand-alone sales of subscription agreements are evidenced by subscription renewals and stand-alone sales of professional services are
evidenced by rates charged for consulting, education, and development services in stand-alone transactions. The arrangement fee is then allocated to the individual elements based on their relative
fair values. Revenue for subscriptions are recognized over the contractual period and professional services are recognized as incurred provided the above criteria have been met.

Under
the Company's subscription contracts, the Company applies EITF 00-21 to its subscriptions as opposed to Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition("SOP 97-2") as the customer
does not have the right to take possession of the software without
incurring a significant incremental penalty. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-03,Application of AICPA Statement of
Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity's Hardware("EITF 00-03"), such arrangements are considered service contracts and are not within the scope of SOP 97-2.

Prior
to 2007, the majority of the Company's revenues were earned under license arrangements. Revenue under these arrangements is recognized pursuant to the requirements of Statement of
Position (SOP) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain
Transactions, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Licenses, generally
include the same elements as subscriptions, plus the right to take possession of the software for no additional fee and are sold for a period of time (a "term" license) or perpetually. Term contracts
are non-cancelable, and generally cover a period of two years, but can range from a period of six months to five years. For term contracts, the Company treats the software license, hosting
and support services as single element for purposes of allocating revenue. The Company has established vendor specific objective of fair value for the term license bundle based on stand-alone sales of
the bundled items. When sold with professional services, revenue is allocated between the software license, hosting and support element and the professional services element using the relative fair
value method. Revenue for the term license element is recognized ratably over the

period
of the arrangement and revenue for professional services in these arrangements is recognized as performed.

Sales
of perpetual software licenses include hosting and support services for a period of time, typically one year. The Company has established vendor specific objective evidence for the
combined element of hosting and support elements of perpetual license sales, based on the prices charged when sold separately. Accordingly, revenue for the perpetual software license element is
determined using the residual method and is recognized upon delivery. Revenue for the hosting and support elements is recognized ratably over the contractual time period.

The
Company's policy is to record revenue net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.

If
an arrangement includes a right of acceptance or a right to cancel, revenue is recognized when acceptance is received or the right to cancel has expired. If the fee for the license
has any payment term that is due in excess of the Company's normal payment terms (over 90 days), the fee is considered to not be fixed or determinable, and the amount of revenue recognized
(a) for perpetual license arrangements is limited to the amount currently due from the customer, or (b) for term license or subscription arrangements is limited to the lesser of the
amount currently due from the customer or a ratable portion of the total unallocated arrangement fee.

Certain
customers have license agreements that provide for usage fees above fixed minimums. Usage of the Company's software requires additional fees if used by more than a specified
number of users or for more than a specified number of interactions. Fixed minimums are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the arrangement. Usage fees above fixed minimums are recognized
as revenue when such amounts are known and billed.

Separate
contracts with the same customer that are entered into at or near the same time are generally presumed to have been negotiated together and are combined and accounted for as a
single arrangement.

Professional
services revenue is recognized as performed, based on hours incurred, unless sold in conjunction with a term license or subscription where objective and reliable evidence
(including vendor specific objective evidence) for the term or subscription element does not exist, in which case professional services revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual period. The
Company has determined that the professional service elements of its software arrangements are not essential to the functionality of the software. The Company has also determined that its professional
services (a) are available from other vendors, (b) do not involve a significant degree of risk or unique acceptance criteria, and (c) are not required for the customer to use the
software.

(1) Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Deferred revenue represents amounts received or due from customers for which the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The majority of deferred revenue
results from the up front billing of term and subscription contracts while revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual period. Deferred revenue is recognized into revenue when the Company
provides its products and services, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria noted above are met. Under subscriptions, the amount currently due and payable from the customer is reflected in
accounts receivable and deferred revenue. Under licenses, the full customer commitment is reflected in accounts receivable for amounts currently due, or term receivables for amounts due over the
contractual term, and deferred revenue. The Company does not provide refunds for customer cancellations.

In
conjunction with the Company's business model change, beginning in 2007 sales incentives paid for subscriptions are deferred and charged to expense in proportion to the revenue
recognized. Sales incentives paid for licenses are expensed when earned, which is typically at the time the related sale is invoiced. Sales incentive expense was $10.7 million,
$15.4 million, and $10.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Deferred commissions at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007
were $213,000 and $5.0 million, respectively.

Research
and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological
feasibility. Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. To date, the period between achieving technological
feasibility and general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any
software development costs.

The
Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method as prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,Accounting
for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. When applicable, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainties in
Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48) and it did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, we had an insignificant amount of unrecognized tax benefits, none of which would affect our
effective tax rate if recognized. We do not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months. The Company's policy is to
recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and other expense, respectively in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of interest and penalties
accrued for the year ended December 31, 2007 was not significant. Tax years beginning in 2004 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit
carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. The U.S. jurisdictions subject to examination
include Montana, California, New Jersey, Illinois and foreign jurisdictions subject to examination include the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Japan, Canada and the Netherlands.

Long-lived
assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Fair
value is determined based on discounted cash flow or appraised value, depending on the nature of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. No impairments of long-lived assets has been identified
in any of the periods presented.

On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share Based
Payment, ("SFAS 123R"), for its stock-based compensation plans. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation costs are recognized based on the estimated fair value
at the grant date for all stock-based awards. The Company estimates grant date fair values using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which requires assumptions of the life of the award and
the stock price volatility over the term of the award. The Company records compensation cost of stock-based awards using the straight line method, which is recorded into earnings over the vesting
period of the award. Pursuant to the income tax provisions included in SFAS 123R, the Company has elected the "short cut method" of computing its hypothetical pool of additional
paid-in capital that is available to absorb future tax benefit shortfalls.

The
Company previously accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25 ("APB 25"),Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 ("SFAS 148"),Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and
Disclosures. Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recorded in earnings for the Company's stock-based awards as the exercise price of the options equaled the fair
market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share for stock-based awards were instead disclosed in the footnotes to the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with SFAS 123.

The
Company has elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted under SFAS 123R and therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods.
Under this transition method, compensation cost recorded in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 includes the cost for all stock-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Compensation expense for all stock-based awards
granted after December 31, 2005 was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.

For
non-U.S. operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end
exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income and expense.

(2) Acquisitions

Salesnet, Inc.

On May 22, 2006, the Company acquired the outstanding common and preferred stock of Salesnet, Inc. ("Salesnet"), a provider of on demand sales force
automation solutions, for $8.7 million in net cash paid at closing. The acquisition added several hundred clients to the Company's customer base, and is expected to accelerate the product
development of the Company's sales force automation product set and increase the Company's domain expertise in sales automation. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the results of Salesnet are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The
Company allocated the purchase price to the Salesnet assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, after considering a number of factors, including the use of an

The
unrealized losses of $13,000 at December 31, 2007 related to investment-grade, fixed income securities, and are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. Unrealized
losses related to securities held more than one year were insignificant. Management does not believe any of the unrealized losses at December 31, 2007 represent an
other-than-temporary impairment. Realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale securities in 2005, 2006 and 2007 were insignificant.

As
of December 31, 2007, the Company held approximately $18.3 million in preferred stock and municipal bond auction rate securities with investment grades of AAA or AA.
Auction rate securities are long-term bonds or preferred stocks that act like short-term debt, with interest rates reset in Dutch auctions held daily, weekly or monthly which
historically provided liquidity for these investments.

(4) Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments (Continued)

Despite
the long-term contractual maturities of the auction rate securities, all of these securities are available for sale and were available to fund the Company's current operations. All
securities experienced successful auctions subsequent to year end. However, in February and March 2008, uncertainties in the credit markets caused all auctions of the Company's securities to be
unsuccessful. Upon an unsuccessful auction, the security is reset at a predetermined interest rate. Given that all of the securities experienced successful auctions subsequent to December 31,
2007, the Company does not believe that the current state of the credit markets requires it to adjust the fair value of its portfolio of auction rate securities or to reclassify them as
long-term marketable securities on its December 31, 2007 Consolidated Balance Sheets. To date, we have collected all interest payable on all of our auction rate securities when due.
If the auction rate securities continue to experience unsuccessful auctions, or if the credit rating of the auction rate security issuer or the third-party insurer of the issuers of the investments
underlying the securities deteriorates, we may be required to reclassify the securities on our Balance Sheet and/or adjust the carrying value of the auction rate security through an impairment charge.
The Company will continue to monitor the state of the credit markets and its potential impact, if any, on the fair value and classification of our portfolio of auction rate securities.

Underlying
maturities of short-term investments in debt instruments at December 31, 2007 were approximately $13.9 million within one year, $16.0 million
between one and five years, and $9.5 beyond ten years. These items are classified as short-term because they represent investments of cash that are available for current operations.

which
were paid in full during 2006. During 2007, the Company assumed $30,000 of capital lease obligations associated with furniture in its Washington D.C. office space.

During
2006 and 2007, the Company had a $3.0 million working capital line of credit agreement with a commercial bank. Advances under the line bear a variable rate of interest
which approximates the prime lending rate, and are payable monthly. The working capital line of credit is secured by substantially all of the United States dollar-denominated accounts receivable of
the Company. There were no advances under the line during 2006 or 2007.

(8) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 15 million shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value, which may be issued from time to time by its board of directors without
further action by stockholders. Shares of preferred stock may be issued with dividend, redemption, voting or other rights senior to existing common shares. There were no outstanding shares of
preferred stock at December 31, 2006 or 2007.

(9) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company's 1998 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "equity plans") provide for stock
options to be granted to employees, consultants, independent contractors, officers and directors. The equity plans have been approved by stockholders. Except for automatic grants to directors, options
are granted at the discretion of the Company's board of directors, at an exercise price and term determined by the board. However, exercise prices are not less than the fair market value at the date
of grant, and the term of the options is not greater than ten years. Options generally vest over a period of four years in eight equal increments. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan
("ESPP") that allows employees to purchase shares of common stock at a discount to the fair market value at the date of purchase. Purchase periods under the ESPP are consecutive six-month
periods ending on the last day in June and December each year. Shares issued to satisfy stock option exercises and ESPP are
newly issued. At December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately 4.4 million shares available for future issuance under the equity plans and ESPP.

Compensation
expense recognized in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects an
estimate of awards that will be forfeited. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates.

Key
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock awards are as follows:

Risk Free Rate:The risk-free rate is determined by reference to U.S. Treasury yields at or near the time of
grant for time periods similar to the expected term of the award.

Expected Term:The expected term represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding
and is estimated based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual term of the awards, vesting schedules and expectations of employee exercise behavior.

Volatility:The Company's estimate of expected volatility is based on a combination of the Company's historical volatility
and peer-company volatilities. The Company has a limited history of volatility, as well as limited traded options from which to derive implied volatility. The Company believes the
combination of its historical and peer-company volatilities is more representative of future stock price trends than its historical volatility alone.

Dividend Yield:The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of dividend payouts.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Rent expense was $1.9 million, $2.8 million and $4.1 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Rent expense is determined using the
straight-line method of the minimum expected rent paid over the term of the agreement. The Company has no contingent rent agreements.

The
Company leases a portion of its office facilities from a development group, of which the Company's chief executive officer is a 50% member and the Company's Vice President of
Delivery is a 25% member. During 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company paid $742,000, $833,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, to the development group under these leases.

The
Company has agreements with third parties to provide co-location services for hosting operations. The agreements require payment of a minimum amount per month for a fixed
period of time in return for which the hosting service provider provides certain guarantees of network availability.

Future
minimum payments as of December 31, 2007 under these arrangements were $1.4 million in 2008, $321,000 per year for 2009 and 2010, and $160,000 in 2011.

The
Company's on demand application service is typically warranted to perform in accordance with its user documentation.

The
Company's arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe a third-party's intellectual property
rights. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

The
Company has entered into service level agreements with its customers warranting certain levels of uptime reliability and permitting those customers to receive credits or terminate
their license agreements in the event that the Company fails to meet those levels. To date, the Company has not provided any material credits related to these service level agreements.

The
Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of
these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person's service as a director or officer, including any action by the
Company, arising out of that person's services as the Company's director or officer or that person's services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company's request.

From
time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Legal fees are charged to expense as incurred, unless we consider the potential loss from any
dispute or legal matter probable and the amount or range of the loss can be estimated, in which case we will accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with SFAS 5.

The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence, or generation, of taxable income in the periods when those temporary differences and net operating loss
carryforwards are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, taxes paid in carryback years, projected future taxable income, available tax planning
strategies, and other factors in making this assessment. Based on available evidence, management does not believe it is more likely than not that any or all of the deferred tax assets will be
realized. Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $5.4 million and $6.5 million in 2006
and 2007, respectively.

At
December 31, 2007, the Company had domestic Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $35.2 million and $40.0 million, respectively. The
Company also has approximately $38.9 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards that are not subject to expiration. Federal net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates
between 2021 and 2025, while state net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2008 and 2025. In addition, the Company has federal and state research and development credits and foreign tax
credits available to reduce future domestic income taxes. The total amount of these credits is approximately $3 million. The federal and state research and development credits expire between
2019 and 2026, and between 2015 and 2021, respectively. The foreign tax credits expire between 2008 and 2017.

Under
the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits may be impaired or limited in certain
circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more
than 50%, as defined, over a three year period. The Company's acquisition of Salesnet, Inc. in May

2006
constituted an ownership change to that entity, and therefore the availability of Salesnet, Inc.'s net operating loss carryforwards which approximate $7 million, will be limited in
future years.

As
part of the acquisition of Salesnet, Inc. in May, 2006, the Company recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for the difference between the assigned book values and the
respective tax bases for the acquired assets and liabilities. A full valuation allowance of $3.3 million was also recognized at the acquisition date due to the uncertainty of realization of the
net deferred tax assets. The potential future realization of these deferred tax assets will be first recorded to reduce to zero any goodwill that arose from the acquisition.

The
Company's deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2007 have been reduced in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment,
("SFAS 123R"). As such, net operating loss carryforwards and other attributes created by excess tax benefits from the
exercise of stock options are not recorded as deferred tax assets. Instead such amounts are recorded as an addition to stockholders' equity if and when they are utilized. Deferred tax assets and the
related valuation allowance in the above presentation have been reduced by $16.8 million and $18.4 million, as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, for the effect of
excess tax deductions from stock options.

(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values at December 31, 2006 and 2007.

The

variables that may affect the determination of fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values:

Term receivablescurrent:The carrying amount approximated fair value at the respective dates due to the relative
short maturities of this item.

Term receivablesnoncurrent:Fair value for term receivables due beyond one year from December 31, 2006
and 2007, has been estimated by discounting the carrying amount by a current rate of interest for the period of time the items are expected to be outstanding.

Debt:The fair value of long-term debt has been estimated by discounting the carrying amount by a current rate of
interest for the period of time the debt is expected to be outstanding.

(13) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a voluntary defined contribution retirement plan qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The plan covers
substantially all full-time employees. Under the terms of the plan, participants may contribute up to the lower of 12% of their salary or the statutorily prescribed limit to the plan.
Employees are eligible after 90 days of service. At its discretion, the Company may make matching contributions. The Company made matching contributions during 2005, 2006 and 2007 of $680,000,
$936,000 and $982,000, respectively. The Company also has retirement benefit plans related to its foreign subsidiaries. Amounts expensed under these plans were $274,000, $275,000 and $370,000 during
2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

The
Company has a medical, dental and vision benefit plan and a short-term disability program covering full-time employees of the Company and their dependents.
The plan is a partially self-funded plan under which participant claims are obligations of the plan. The plan is funded through employer and employee contributions at a level sufficient to
pay for the benefits provided by the plan. The Company contributions to the plan were $1.2 million during 2005 and $2.0 million during 2006 and 2007. During 2007 the plan maintained
individual and aggregate stop loss insurance policies on the medical portion of the plan of $95,000 and $3.0 million (based on actual plan participants, adjusted monthly), respectively, to
mitigate losses.

In
July 2004 the Company adopted the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Plan") which became effective in conjunction with the initial public offering of common stock. The Plan is
administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors and is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Under the terms of the plan, substantially all employees are eligible to purchase shares of RightNow common stock through periodic after-tax payroll deductions at a purchase price
established by the administrator. Payroll deductions are limited to 15% of the employee's regular compensation for each purchase period. The administrator may set the purchase price equal to or
discounted from fair market value on the first or last day of each purchase period. Purchase periods are consecutive six-month periods ending on the last day in June and December each
year. For the purchase periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, and June 30, 2006, the plan was deemed noncompensatory because the terms were no more favorable than those available to
all holders of our common stock. Activity under the plan for 2004, 2005 and 2006 was as follows:
