2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of
Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years.

Pursuant to accounting requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to current year presentations.

Use of
Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, acquisition accounting,
income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation and capitalization of software development costs eligible for capitalization. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various
other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company invests its excess cash in money market accounts and overnight repurchase agreements. These investments are subject to minimal credit and market risks.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Under
SFAS 142, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company reviews the carrying value of its
goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the related business component to its estimated fair value. The fair value is based on managements estimate of the future discounted cash flows to be generated by the respective business component.
Changes in the underlying business could affect these estimates, which in turn could affect the recoverability of goodwill. If goodwill becomes impaired, some or all of the goodwill could be written off as a charge to operations. No circumstances
arose during the three months ended September 30, 2008 which would indicate that the carrying value of goodwill has become impaired. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives or contract periods, as applicable.

The estimation of the fair values of goodwill and the reporting units to which it pertains
requires the use of discounted cash flow valuation models. Those models require estimates of future revenue, profits, capital expenditures and working capital for each unit. These estimates will be determined by evaluating historical trends, current
budgets, operating plans and industry data. Determining the fair value of reporting units and goodwill includes significant judgment by management and different judgments could yield different results.

Software Development Costs

The Company
capitalizes certain internal software development costs under the provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1
requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met.

The Company incurs software development costs related to its applications developed for subscription services and for management information systems. Costs are incurred in three stages of development: the preliminary
project stage, the application development stage, and the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stage are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the
application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is
complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, it is probable that the project will be completed, the software will be used to perform the function intended and technical feasibility
has been determined. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years. All other development costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its
revenues from subscription fees and, to a lesser extent, through advertising on its website and syndication fees. Subscription revenues are comprised primarily of subscription fees from enterprise and

SALARY.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



small business customers who pay a bundled fee for the Companys on-demand software applications and data products and implementation services related to the
Companys subscription products, as well as syndication fees from the Companys website partners and premium membership subscriptions sold primarily to individuals. To a lesser extent, subscription revenues also include fees for discrete
professional services which are not bundled with the Companys subscription products, revenues from sales of job competency models and related implementation and consulting services and revenue from the sale of the Companys Compensation
Market Study and Salary.com Survey products, which are not sold on a subscription basis. These discrete professional services generally represent stand-alone compensation related to consulting and benchmarking of specific jobs. The Company follows
the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 Revenue Recognition in the Financial Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104,Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when all of the
following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer; (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the
collection of fees from the customer is probable.

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Customers are
generally billed for the subscription on an annual basis. For all customers, regardless of their billing method, subscription revenue is initially recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheets. As services are performed, the
Company recognizes subscription revenue over the applicable service period. For selected products where an implementation process occurs prior to the on-demand applications becoming useful to customers, revenue recognition is deferred until after
the product has been implemented and then recognized as revenue ratably over the remaining applicable subscription period.

Subscription
agreements that are related to the Companys TalentManager suite of products may contain multiple service elements and deliverables. These elements include access to the Companys on-demand software and often specify initial services
including configuration and training. Except when the Company becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding which is not dismissed within 60 days of filing or the Company makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, these particular
subscription agreements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software at any time. In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables (EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 was issued to address how companies should determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. In applying the guidance in EITF 00-21, the Company
determined that it does not have objective and reliable evidence for the fair value of the TalentManager subscription fees after delivery of specified initial services, consisting of configuration and training. The Company cannot establish the fair
value of the TalentManager subscription element of the contract due to the variability of the sales price between different customers for the subscription element of the contract. Furthermore, the initial services do not have stand-alone value to
the customer without being bundled with the subscription element of the contract because the Company does not sell the initial services separately and because such services are not provided by a third party. The Company therefore accounts for these
subscriptions arrangements and its related service fees as a single unit of accounting.

Revenues from the Companys sales of job
competency models and related implementation services may contain multiple service elements and deliverables. These elements include delivery of the job competency models, implementation services, consulting services and post contract customer
support. The Company recognizes revenue for these transactions in accordance with EITF 00-21. Except for the post contract customer support services, the Company does not have objective and reliable evidence for the fair value of the deliverables in
these types of transactions, primarily due to the variability of the sales price between different customers. Revenue from the sales of post contract customer support services is recognized ratably over the contract period, generally one year, upon
delivery of the job competency models. The Company accounts for the job competency models, implementation services and consulting services as a single unit of accounting. Revenue from the sale of job competency models, implementation services and
consulting services is recognized when all elements of the contract have been delivered.

Discrete professional services represent a
separate earnings process and revenue is recognized as services are performed. Professional services engagements are generally priced on a fixed-fee basis. Revenue under fixed-fee arrangements is recognized proportionally to the performance of the
services utilizing milestones, if present in the arrangement, or at the completion of the project.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Revenues for the Companys Compensation Market Study and Survey products, which are not sold on a subscription basis, are recognized only when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the study or survey has occurred, risk of ownership has passed to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

Advertising revenues are comprised of revenues that the Company generates through agreements to display third party advertising on the Companys
website for a fixed period of time or fixed number of impressions. Advertising revenues are recognized as the advertising is displayed on the website.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 123-revised, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements over the vesting
period of the award and that such expense be measured at the fair value of the award.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its customers inability to pay. The provision is based
on the Companys historical experience and for specific customers that, in its opinion, are likely to default on its receivables from them. In order to identify these customers, the Company performs ongoing reviews of all customers that have
breached their payment terms, as well as those that have filed for bankruptcy or for whom information has become available indicating a significant risk of non-recoverability. In addition, the Company has experienced significant growth in the number
of its customers, and the Company has less payment history to rely upon with these customers. The Company relies on historical trends of bad debt as a percentage of total revenue and applies these percentages to the accounts receivable associated
with new customers and evaluates these customers over time.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Companys financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including
notes payable, approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature.

Comprehensive Loss

For the Companys non-U.S. subsidiaries, each of which operates in a local currency environment, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end
exchange rates, and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The local currency for each foreign subsidiary is considered to be the functional currency and, accordingly, translation adjustments are reported
as a separate component of stockholders equity under the caption accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $143,000 and
$89,000, respectively. The provision for income taxes in the six months ended September 30, 2008 consisted primarily of a deferred tax liability arising from timing differences between book and tax income related to goodwill and intangible
asset amortization related to the Companys business acquisitions.

Other Taxes

Non-income taxes such as sales tax are presented on a net basis.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders per Share

Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128), which requires the presentation of
basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share includes the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock unless the effect is antidilutive.

The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock of the Company as of
the end of each period:

If the outstanding options and warrants were exercised or converted into common stock or the restricted stock awards and
restricted shares were to vest, the result would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is the same for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On
June 16, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and
61 of SFAS 128. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company has determined that the implementation of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will
result in the restricted stock outstanding that is related to the early exercise of stock options being included in the computation of EPS. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 1,018,723 shares of restricted stock outstanding related to the
early exercise of stock options that would have been included in the computation of EPS. If FSP EITF 03-6-1 was effective for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, EPS would have been $(0.39) and $(0.78), respectively.

On May 9, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial
statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined for public accountants and their firms in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 states that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is
the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3,
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which revises the factors that an entity should consider to develop renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The
FSP amends paragraph 11(d) of FSAS 142. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Entities should
apply the FSPs guidance on determining the useful life of an intangible asset prospectively to recognized intangible assets acquired after the FSPs effective date. However, once effective, the FSPs disclosure requirements apply
prospectively to all recognized intangible assets, including those acquired before the FSPs effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FAS 142-3 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB
No. 51, (SFAS 160), which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 160 are
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated
financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations,
(SFAS 141R), which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. The provisions of SFAS
141R are effective for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS
141R will have on its consolidated financial statements.

All of the Companys finite-lived acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization over
their estimated useful lives. No residual value is estimated for these intangible assets. Acquired intangible asset amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $869,000 and $309,000, respectively, of
which $425,000 and $28,000, respectively, is included in cost of revenues. Acquired intangible asset amortization for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $1,645,000 and $450,000, respectively, of which $822,000
and $35,000, respectively, is included in cost of revenues. Amortization for the data acquisition costs begins once the acquired data is integrated into the related product and that product is available to our customers.

Estimated annual amortization expense for the next five years related to intangible assets is as follows:

4. ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS

InfoBasis Ltd.

On August 21, 2008, the Company acquired the share capital of InfoBasis Limited
(InfoBasis). InfoBasis, located in the United Kingdom, is a provider of competency-based learning and development software. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid the former owners of InfoBasis $5.2 million in cash of which
$0.5 million of the cash paid will be held in escrow until one year from the anniversary of the closing. The escrow fund will be available to compensate us for any losses that we may incur as a result of any breach of the representations or
warranties by the former owners of InfoBasis contained in the purchase agreement, and certain liabilities arising out of the ownership or operation of InfoBasis prior to the acquisition. The former employee owners of InfoBasis will also be eligible
to earn additional consideration based on meeting certain performance targets during each of the five twelve-month periods ending August 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The additional consideration, if earned, consists of cash payments of
a maximum of $200,000 per year for five years, allocated proportionately amongst the employee owners. The total cash paid for the acquisition was approximately $5.4 million, which includes approximately $0.2 million of direct acquisition costs plus
approximately $1.1 million of net liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based upon the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company allocated $3.1 million of the purchase price to goodwill based
upon the estimated fair value of the assets acquired in the acquisition. The valuation was performed by a third party valuation firm. Goodwill from the acquisition resulted from our belief that the products and services offered by InfoBasis will be
complementary to our existing competency business and on-demand software suites. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The results of operations include the impact of this acquisition since August 22, 2008.

The Company has allocated the purchase price on a preliminary basis based upon the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, as
follows:



|                                                     |  |        |        |

Under the Companys 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and 2004 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan, option recipients (Option Holders) are permitted to exercise options in advance of vesting. Any options exercised in advance of vesting result in the Option Holder receiving restricted shares, which are then subject to vesting
under the respective options vesting schedule. Restricted shares are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company and if any Option Holder who is an employee leaves the Company (either voluntarily or involuntarily), the Company has the
right (but not the obligation) to repurchase the restricted shares at the original price paid by the Option Holder at the time the options were exercised. Because the Company has the right to repurchase the restricted shares upon the cessation of
employment, the Company has recognized this potential liability for repurchase on the balance sheet as subscription payable of $236,000 as of September 30, 2008, which is included in Accrued expenses and other current
liabilities. Upon vesting of the restricted shares, the Subscription Payable is relieved and recorded in equity. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, there were 1,018,723 and 1,699,227 restricted shares outstanding, respectively, which
resulted from the exercise of unvested stock options.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



As of September 30, 2008, there was approximately $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

Compensation expense related to stock options included in the
statement of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $438,000 and $858,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to stock options included in the statement of operations for the three and six
months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $561,000 and $1,194,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to stock options 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.

Restricted Stock Awards

On January 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved forms of stock option agreements and restricted stock agreements for use under the Companys 2007 Stock Plan pursuant to which the Company has granted stock options and restricted stock awards. On May 5, 2008, the Board of
Directors of the Company approved a form of deferred stock award agreement for use under the Companys 2007 Stock Plan pursuant to which the Company has granted deferred stock awards. The shares of restricted stock and deferred stock awards
have a per share price of $0.0001 which equals the par value. The fair value is measured based upon the closing NASDAQ market price of the underlying Company stock as of the date of grant. Compensation expense from the restricted stock and deferred
stock awards is amortized over the applicable vesting period, generally 3 years, using the straight-line method. Unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock and deferred stock awards was $14.4 million as of September 30, 2008.
This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company issued common stock with a value of $1.7 million as payment for the fiscal year 2008 employee bonuses and other
incentive programs. The expense for the bonus and incentive programs is classified as payroll compensation in the period in which it is earned.

The following table presents a summary of the restricted stock and deferred stock award activity for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

From time to time the
Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate expense with respect to any other current legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  An Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109(FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized as a
benefit in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods and disclosures for uncertain tax positions. The Companys adoption of
FIN 48 on April 1, 2007 did not result in the recognition of a tax liability for any previously unrecognized tax benefits and did not have an effect on its financial position or results of operations as the Company has a full valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2008 was $185,000, which, if
ultimately recognized, will reduce the Companys annual effective tax rate. The Company does not expect any material change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Companys policy is to recognize interest and
penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax positions as a component of income tax expense, if any. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has not accrued any interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits in its statement of operations.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is open to
examination for tax years 2004 through 2007. Additionally, since the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards available for future years, those years are also subject to review by the taxing authorities. The Company is not
currently under examination by U.S. Federal and state tax authorities or the China taxing authority.

Line of Credit

On August 8, 2008 the Company entered into a modification of our existing credit facility with
Silicon Valley Bank to modify certain of the financial covenants and extend the term of the agreement to September 23, 2008. On September 17, 2008 the Company entered into a second modification of our credit facility to further extend the term
of the agreement to October 8, 2008. On October 8, 2008, we entered into an extension of this credit facility which has a term of two years and expires on October 8, 2010. In addition, the Company increased the line of credit from $5.0
million to $10.0 million. Borrowings on the revolving line bear interest at the banks prime rate or, if the Companys unrestricted cash falls below $20 million, at the banks prime rate plus 0.25%. The credit facility is
collateralized by substantially all of our assets. In addition, the facility carries an unused revolving line facility fee of 0.375% of the undrawn balance. As of September 30, 2008, there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit
facility.

Overview

We are a leading provider of on-demand compensation, performance management and competency
management solutions in the human capital software-as-a-service (SaaS) market. We offer content-rich software and services to help businesses and individuals manage pay and performance. Companies of all sizes turn to us to effectively
and efficiently compensate, promote and manage their employees. With our help, companies can put the right talent in the right roles to deliver business objectives and individuals at all levels can determine their worth.

Our highly configurable software applications and proprietary content and our consulting services help executives, line managers and compensation
professionals automate, streamline and optimize critical talent management processes, such as market pricing, compensation planning, performance management, competency management (a competency is a set of demonstrated behaviors, skills and
proficiencies that determine performance in a given role) and succession planning. Compensation and competency content are at the core of our solutions, which deliver productive and cost-effective ways for employers to manage and inspire their most
important assettheir people.

We integrate our comprehensive SaaS applications with our proprietary content to automate the essential
elements of our customers compensation and performance management processes. Our approach links pay to performance and aligns employees with corporate goals to drive business results. As a result, our solutions can significantly improve the
effectiveness of our customers compensation spending and help them become more productive in managing their employees. We enable employers of all sizes to replace or supplement inefficient and expensive traditional approaches to compensation
management, including paper-based surveys, consultants, internally developed software applications and spreadsheets. Our customers report gains in productivity, reduction in personnel hours to administer pay and performance programs and improvements
in employee retention.

Our data sets contain base, bonus and incentive pay data for positions held by more than 80% of U.S. employees and
similar data for the top executives in more than 12,000 U.S. public companies. Our flagship offering is CompAnalyst®, a suite of on-demand compensation management applications that integrates our data, third-party survey data and a
customers own pay data with a complete analytics offering. We have expanded our CompAnalyst market data and added new geographic coverage in the Canadian market with more than 650 benchmark jobs. Our Canadian content has already attracted a
diverse set of customers across multiple industries. We continue to build our IPAS® global compensation technology survey with coverage of technology jobs from clerk to chief executive officer in more than 70 countries. In addition, we are
expanding our compensation data services for the consumer goods retail sectors (i.e., apparel, footwear, luxury goods and specialty retail).

Our on-demand performance management solutions offer our customers effective and measurable ways to attract and inspire employee performance. TalentManager®, our employee lifecycle performance management software suite, helps businesses
automate performance reviews, streamline compensation planning, perform succession planning, and link employee pay to performance. TalentManager helps employers gain visibility into their performance cycle and drive employee engagement in the
process through a configurable, easy to use interface that can be personalized by users. Using TalentManager, we believe that employers can improve their performance management systems and model the critical jobs skills they need to achieve their
business goals. Our TalentManager succession planning application was named 2008 product of the year by a leading human resources industry publication.

As of September 30, 2008, our enterprise subscriber base has grown to more than 3,300 companies. We have achieved 30 consecutive quarters of revenue growth since April 2001. However, during that time, we have
consistently incurred operating losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred an operating loss of $6.4 million compared to an operating loss of $6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008. During the six
months ended September 30, 2008, we experienced operating cash outflows of $3.0 million compared to operating cash inflows $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of
$52.5 million.

As a result of the recent financial crisis in the credit markets and difficulties in the financial services sector and
continuing geopolitical uncertainties, the direction and relative strength of the U.S. economy has become increasingly uncertain. We anticipate that this uncertainty could cause our current and potential customers to delay or reduce their purchases
of software and consulting services, which would result in longer sales cycles and lead to a reduction in sales of our products and services.

based on meeting certain performance targets during each of the five twelve month periods ending August 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The additional consideration, if earned, consists of cash payments of a maximum of $200,000 per year
for five years, allocated proportionately amongst the former employee owners. The total cash paid for the acquisition was approximately $5.4 million, which includes approximately $0.2 million of direct acquisition costs plus approximately $1.1
million of net liabilities assumed. The results of operations include the impact of this acquisition since August 22, 2008.

Sources of Revenues

We derive our revenues primarily from subscription fees and, to a lesser extent, through advertising on our website. For the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, subscription revenues accounted for 93% and 92%, respectively, of our total revenues and for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, advertising revenues accounted for 7% and 8%,
respectively, of our total revenues.

Subscription revenues are comprised primarily of subscription fees from enterprise and small
business customers who pay a bundled fee for our on-demand software applications and data products and implementation services related to our subscription products, as well as syndication fees from our website partners and premium membership
subscriptions sold primarily to individuals. Subscription revenues are primarily recognized ratably over the contract period as they are earned. Our subscription agreements for our enterprise subscription customer base are typically one to five
years in length, and as of September 30, 2008, approximately 50% of our contracts were more than one year in length. We generally invoice our customers annually in advance of their subscription (for both new sales and renewals), with the
majority of the payments typically due upon receipt of invoice. Deferred revenue consists primarily of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from our subscription agreements and is recognized over time as the revenue
recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue does not include the unbilled portion of multi-year customer contracts, which is held off the balance sheet. Changes in deferred revenue generally indicate the trend for subscription revenues over the
following year as the current portion of deferred revenue is expected to be recognized as revenue within 12 months. To a lesser extent, subscription revenues also include fees for professional services which are not bundled with our subscription
products, revenues from sales of job competency models and related implementation services and revenue from the sale of our Compensation Market Study and Salary.com Survey products, which are not sold on a subscription basis.

Advertising revenues are comprised of revenues that we generate through agreements to display third party advertising on our website for a fixed
period of time or fixed number of impressions. Advertising revenues are recognized as the advertising is displayed on the website.

Cost of Revenues and
Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs for data acquisition and data
development, fees paid to our network provider for the hosting and managing of our servers, related bandwidth costs, compensation costs for the support and implementation of our products, compensation costs related to our consulting and professional
services business and amortization of capitalized software costs. As we continue to implement and support our new and existing products and expand our data sets, we expect that over the next few years cost of revenues will continue to increase as a
percentage of revenue and on an absolute dollar basis. Over the longer term, we expect our cost of revenues to decrease as a percentage of revenue as our business grows and our new data products gain market acceptance.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation
for our software and data application development personnel. We have historically focused our research and development efforts on improving and enhancing our existing on-demand software and data offerings as well as developing new features,
functionality and products. We expect that in the future, research and development expenses will increase on an absolute dollar basis as we upgrade and extend our service offerings and develop new technologies.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation for our sales and marketing personnel, including sales
commissions, as well as the costs of our marketing programs. The direct sales commissions for our subscription sales are capitalized at the time a subscription agreement is executed by a customer and we recognize the initial year sales commission
expense ratably over one year. In the case of multi-year agreements, upon billing the customer for each additional year, we incur a subsequent sales commission and recognize the expense for such commission over the applicable year. Typically, a
majority of the sales commission is recognized in the initial year of the subscription term. In order to add new customers and increase sales to our existing customers, we plan to continue to invest heavily in our sales efforts by increasing the
number of direct sales personnel. We also plan to expand our marketing activities in order to extend brand awareness and generate additional leads for our sales staff. As a result, we expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase on an
absolute dollar basis as we grow our business.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of
compensation expenses for executive, finance, accounting, human resources, administrative and management information systems personnel, professional fees and other corporate expenses, including rent and depreciation expense.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenues. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $10.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 25%, compared
to revenues of $8.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Subscription revenues were $9.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of $2.1 million, or 27%, compared to subscription revenues of $7.8 million
for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The growth in subscription revenues was due primarily to an increase of $1.3 million in recognized revenue of our core compensation and talent management products sold by our professional services sales team.
Revenues from our acquisitions during the second half of fiscal 2008 led to an increase in revenue of $0.7 million. Advertising revenues were $688,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to advertising revenues of $687,000 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2008. Total deferred revenue as of September 30, 2008 was $24.0 million, representing an increase of $5.7 million, or 31%, compared to total deferred revenue of $18.3 million as of September 30, 2007.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $3.1 million, an
increase of $1.2 million, or 66%, compared to cost of revenues of $1.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in payroll and benefit related costs due to the
addition of personnel to our compensation and professional service teams in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008, a $0.4 million increase in amortization of intangible assets primarily from data acquisition
costs and a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. As a percent of total revenues, cost of revenues increased to 30% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 22% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The percentage
increase was primarily the result of an increase in professional services personnel needed to support our changing business mix which now includes a more substantial consulting component.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $2.3 million, an increase of
$1.1 million, or 87%, compared to research and development expenses of $1.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation
expense, a $0.3 million increase in payroll and related expenses due to the addition of research and development personnel since the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and a $0.2 million increase in equipment expenses to support the increased headcount.
Research and development expenses increased to 22% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 14% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of the increased headcount to support planned
product introductions.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were
$7.2 million, an increase of $2.7 million, or 62%, compared to sales and marketing expenses of $4.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in payroll and benefit related costs
due to the addition of sales and marketing personnel since the second quarter of fiscal 2008, a $0.6 million increase in expenses from outside service providers, a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.4 million increase
in advertising and trade show expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to 68% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 52% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $3.9 million, an
increase of $0.3 million, or 9%, compared to general and administrative expenses of $3.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in payroll
and benefit related costs due to the addition of administrative personnel. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses was a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and an incremental $0.3 million of
administrative expenses related to the acquisition of InfoBasis in August 2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses was somewhat offset by a decrease in legal expense of $0.5 million, a decrease in recruiting expense of $0.2 million
and a decrease in accounting fees of $0.1 million. General and administrative expenses decreased to 37% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 43% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $444,000 compared to $281,000
in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in amortization was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of ITG Competency Group, Inc (ITG) in August 2007, Schoonover Associates,
Inc. in December 2007 and InfoBasis in August 2008.

Interest Income. Interest income for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was
$206,000 compared to $514,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in invested cash balances as well as a decrease in interest rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was
$56,000 compared to $89,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The provision for income taxes consisted primarily of a deferred tax liability arising from timing differences between book and tax income related to goodwill and intangible asset
amortization related to our business acquisitions.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2008 were $20.2 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 26%, compared to
revenues of $16.0 million for the same period a year ago. Subscription revenues were $18.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $4.3 million, or 30%, compared to subscription revenues of
$14.5 million for the year earlier period. The increase in subscription revenues was due primarily to an increase of $2.8 million in recognized revenue of our core compensation and talent management products sold by our professional services
sales team. Revenues from the acquisitions we made during the second half of fiscal 2008 and the second quarter of fiscal 2009 increased revenues by $1.8 million. Advertising revenues were $1.3 million for the six months ended September 30,
2008 compared to advertising revenues of $1.5 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in advertising revenues was primarily due to a reduction of advertising revenue from job boards.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $6.4 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 82%,
compared to cost of revenues of $3.5 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in payroll and benefit related costs due to the addition of personnel to our compensation and
professional service teams in the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the year earlier period, a $0.8 million increase in amortization of intangible assets primarily from data acquisition costs and a $0.5 million increase in
stock-based compensation expense. As a percent of total revenues, cost of revenues increased to 32% in the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 22% in the same period a year ago. The percentage increase was primarily the result of an
increase in professional services personnel needed to support our changing business mix which now includes a more substantial consulting component.

million for the same period a year ago. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $0.5 million increase in payroll and related expenses due to the addition
of research and development personnel since the second quarter of fiscal 2008, a $0.3 million increase in equipment expenses to support the increased headcount and an increase of $0.1 of rent expense related to the expansion of the China facility.
Research and development expenses increased to 20% of total revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 13% of total revenues in the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of the increased headcount to support planned
product introductions.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended September 30,
2008 were $13.6 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 64%, compared to sales and marketing expenses of $8.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in payroll and benefit related
costs due to the addition of sales and marketing personnel since the second quarter of fiscal 2008, a $0.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $0.8 million increase in marketing, advertising and trade show expenses, an increase
of $0.3 million in commissions expense and a $0.3 million increase in travel expenses. The remainder of the increase is due to an overall increase in sales and marketing expenses related to supporting the increase in headcount and the previously
announced sales and marketing initiatives. Sales and marketing expenses increased to 68% of total revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 52% of total revenues in the same period a year ago.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2008 were
$7.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 21%, compared to general and administrative expenses of $6.5 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $1.0 million

$0.3 million in Board of Directors fees, and an incremental $0.3 million of administrative expenses related to the acquisition of InfoBasis in August 2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses was somewhat offset by a decreases in
legal expense of $0.6 million, a decrease in recruiting expense of $0.3 million and a decrease in accounting fees of $0.1 million. General and administrative expenses decreased to 39% of total revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2008

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended
September 30, 2008 was $823,000 compared to $415,000 in the same period a year ago. The increase in amortization was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of ITG in August 2007, Schoonover
Associates, Inc. in December 2007 and InfoBasis in August 2008.

Interest Income. Interest income for the six months ended
September 30, 2008 was $0.5 million compared to $1.1 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in invested cash balances as well as a decrease in interest rates in the six months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to the year earlier period.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the six
months ended September 30, 2008 was $143,000 compared to $89,000 in the same period a year ago. The provision for income taxes consisted primarily of a deferred tax liability arising from timing differences between book and tax income related
to goodwill and intangible asset amortization related to our business acquisitions. The increase in the provision for income taxes is due primarily due to the incremental impact of intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions since the
second quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $28.0 million and accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.1 million, compared
to cash and cash equivalents of $37.7 million and accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $4.7 million at March 31, 2008. Our working capital as of September 30, 2008 was $4.9 million compared to working capital of
$16.0 million as of March 31, 2008. The reduction in our working capital was primarily due to our acquisition of Infobasis, which was funded by our working capital.

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $3.0 million. This amount resulted from a net loss of $12.5 million, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $6.6 million and a $2.9
million net increase in working capital accounts. Non-cash items primarily consisted of $0.6 million of depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and software, $1.6 million of amortization of intangible assets and $4.5 million of
stock-based compensation. The net increase in working capital of $2.9 million was primarily comprised of increases in prepaid and other current assets of $0.2 million, accounts payable of $0.4 million, accrued expenses and other current liabilities
of $1.3 million and deferred revenue of $1.3 million. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is due to the timing of payments to vendors. The increase in accounts payable is due both to an increased level of expenses related to
our headcount growth, our increased sales and marketing spending and the timing of payments to vendors. The increase in accrued expenses is primarily due to an increase in accrued compensation. The increase in deferred revenue is primarily due to
increased invoicing less revenue recognition from our subscription customers in the six months ended September 30, 2008. The growth in the invoicing was primarily due to increased subscription renewals and increased sales to existing customers.
Currently, payment for the majority of our subscription agreements is due upon invoicing. Because revenue is generally recognized ratably over the subscription period, payments received at the beginning of the subscription period result in an
increase to accounts receivable and deferred revenue. Changes in deferred revenue generally indicate the trend for subscription revenues over the following year as the current portion of deferred revenue is expected to be recognized within 12
months.

Cash used in investing activities was $6.7 million and consisted primarily of $5.4 million paid for the acquisition of InfoBasis
in August 2008, $0.3 million paid in April 2008 as deferred purchase price related to the acquisition of ITG in August 2007, an increase in restricted cash of $0.4 million and $0.5 million paid for purchases of property and equipment for new
offices, network infrastructure and computer equipment to support our growth in employee headcount. We intend to continue to invest in our content data sets, software development and network infrastructure to ensure our continued ability to enhance
our existing software, expand our data sets, introduce new products, and maintain the reliability of our network.

Cash provided by financing activities was $31,000, which consisted primarily of $111,000 received from
the issuance of common stock related to the employee stock purchase plan, offset by a $64,000 repayment of a note payable from a vendor.

On December 30, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a vendor to obtain additional data sets that runs for an initial one year term following the date of the initial delivery. The fee for the initial term was $1.5 million. At the
end of the initial term, November 17, 2008, the agreement shall automatically renew for up to six subsequent one year terms unless terminated by us. The annual fees due to the vendor related to years two through seven of the agreement are $0.5
million, $0.6 million, $0.6 million, $0.7 million, $0.8 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.

On August 3, 2007 we acquired the
assets of ITG. Under the terms of the agreement, the owners of ITG are eligible to earn up to $1.0 million in additional consideration based on meeting certain performance targets during the first two years after the closing of the acquisition, and
can earn additional consideration if these targets are exceeded. The additional consideration will be paid 75% in cash and 25% in common stock. As of September 30, 2008, all $1.0 million of the additional consideration has been earned, of which
approximately $0.5 million was earned in the six months ended September 30, 2008 and recorded as additional goodwill. The additional consideration was paid in October 2008.

On December 21, 2007 we acquired the assets of Schoonover Associates, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, $0.5 million of cash will be held in
escrow until one year from the anniversary of the closing. Schoonover will also be eligible to earn additional consideration based on meeting certain performance targets during the first five fiscal years after March 31, 2008. The additional
consideration, if earned, consists of cash payments of no more than $100,000 per year for 5 years and 112,646 newly issued shares of common stock valued at $1.5 million, which are eligible to vest ratably over such five-year period.

On April 17, 2008, we entered into a leaseline agreement (Leaseline #4) with a maximum available commitment of $350,000. The lease term began on
July 1, 2008 and runs for a term of 36 months. As of September 30, 2008, we had leased approximately $173,000 of equipment under the terms of this leaseline. On July 24, 2008, we entered into a leaseline agreement (Leaseline #5) with
a maximum available commitment of $200,000. The lease term began on October 1, 2008 and runs for a term of 36 months. In addition, we have approximately $1.1 million, in a restricted cash account as collateral for equipment with a value of
approximately $1.1 million in accordance with all of our master lease agreements.

In May 2008, we announced new marketing and sales
initiatives designed to accelerate growth and expand our leadership position in the compensation and employee performance management markets. Over the next two years, we plan to re-invest up to $10 million in marketing and hire up to 100 sales
people to support new product offerings. We expect to fund these initiatives with our operating cash flow.

In June 2008, we entered into
an agreement with a vendor to finance the purchase of perpetual software licenses in the amount of approximately $738,000. We will make quarterly payments of approximately $64,000 for a term of 36 months.

On August 8, 2008 we entered into a modification of our existing credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank to modify certain of the financial
covenants and extend the term of the agreement to September 23, 2008. On September 17, 2008 the Company entered into a second modification of our credit facility to further extend the term of the agreement to October 8, 2008. On October 8,
2008, we entered into an extension of this credit facility which has a term of two years and expires on October 8, 2010. In addition, the Company increased the line of credit from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Borrowings on the revolving line bear
interest at the banks prime rate or, if our unrestricted cash falls below $20 million, at the banks prime rate plus 0.25%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. In addition, the facility carries an
unused revolving line facility fee of 0.375% of the undrawn balance. The credit agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain an unrestricted cash balance at Silicon Valley Bank of at least $20 million. If our unrestricted cash
falls below $20 million, then the amount we could borrow under the line of credit would be limited to a borrowing base consisting of a specified percentage of accounts receivable and a specified percentage of future billings. In addition, we would
be required to maintain unrestricted cash plus borrowing availability of at least $15 million, and would be required to meet certain minimum quarterly invoicing targets. As of September 30, 2008, there were no outstanding borrowings under this
credit facility.

On August 21, 2008, we acquired the share capital of InfoBasis. Under the terms of the agreement,
the former employee owners of InfoBasis will be eligible to earn additional consideration based on meeting certain performance targets during each of the five twelve month periods ending August 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The
additional consideration, if earned, consists of cash payments of a maximum of $200,000 per year for 5 years, allocated proportionately amongst the former employee owners.

In October 2008, we entered into a new office lease for our subsidiary in Shanghai, China. The lease is for approximately 2,900 square meters and has an
initial term of three years, commencing in January 2009. We can extend the lease for an additional three years at the end of the initial term. Rental payments under the lease are 365,000 Chinese Yuan RMB per month (approximately $54,000 per month).

Given our current cash, accounts receivable and available borrowings under our credit facility, we believe that we will have sufficient
liquidity to fund our business and meet our contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need to raise additional funds in the future in the event that we pursue acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses or
technologies or experience operating losses that exceed our expectations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. In the event that additional financing is
required, we may not be able to obtain it on acceptable terms or at all.

During the last three fiscal years, inflation and changing prices
have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.

Other than as discussed above, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

Under GAAP, certain
obligations and commitments are not required to be included in the consolidated balance sheet. These obligations and commitments, while entered into in the normal course of business, may have a material impact on liquidity. We do not have any
relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet
arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our financial statements, the following accounting policies
involve a greater degree of judgment, complexity and effect on materiality. A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments
for uncertain matters that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition
and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, we recognize revenues from subscription agreements for our on-demand software and related services when there is
persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the service has been provided to the customer, the collection of the fee is probable and the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. Amounts that have been invoiced are

recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. Our subscription agreements generally contain multiple service
elements and deliverables. These elements include access to our software and often specify initial services including implementation and training. Except under limited circumstances, our subscription agreements do not provide customers the right to
take possession of the software at any time.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables, or EITF 00-21, issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, in May 2003, we define all elements in our multiple element subscription agreements as a single unit of accounting,
and accordingly, recognize all associated revenue over the subscription period, which is typically one to five years in length. In the event professional services relating to implementation are required, we generally do not recognize revenue until
such implementation is complete. In applying the guidance in EITF 00-21, we determined that we do not have objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the subscription to our on-demand software after delivery of specified initial services.
We therefore account for our subscription arrangements and our related service fees as a single unit.

Income Taxes. We
account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, or SFAS 109, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary
differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax asset will
not be realized. The realization of the deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly by assessing the valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of the allowance, if necessary. As of September 30, 2008, we have a full valuation allowance
against our deferred tax assets.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet
before recognized a benefit in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods and disclosures for uncertain tax positions.

Software Development Costs. We capitalize certain internal software development costs under the provisions of Statement of Position
No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as
incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met.Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development
stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with
the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs are amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years.

Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from our customers inability to pay us. The provision is based on our historical experience and for specific customers that, in our opinion, are
likely to default on our receivables from them. In order to identify these customers, we perform ongoing reviews of all customers that have breached their payment terms, as well as those that have filed for bankruptcy or for whom information has
become available indicating a significant risk of non-recoverability. In addition, we have experienced significant growth in the number of our customers, and we have less payment history to rely upon with these customers. We rely on historical
trends of bad debt as a percentage of total revenue and apply these percentages to the accounts receivable associated with new customers and evaluate these customers over time. To the extent that our future collections differ from our assumptions
based on historical experience, the amount of our bad debt and allowance recorded may be different.

Stock-Based Compensation. We follow the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123-revised,
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements over the vesting period and that such expense be measured at the fair value of the
award.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards require the use of highly
subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment awards and stock price volatility. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value our option grants and determine the related compensation expense. The
assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and
we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

We estimate our expected
volatility based on historical data from our traded share price. Management believes that the historical volatility of our stock price represents the best estimate of the expected volatility of our stock price. Prior to February 2007, we were a
private company and therefore lacked sufficient company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Consequently, we estimated our volatility based on the volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies.

The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments with a similar
expected life.

The expected term of the options granted was determined based upon review of the period that our share-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, employee turnover and expectations of employee exercise behavior.

The stock price volatility and expected terms utilized in the calculation of fair values involve managements best estimates at that
time, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the vesting period of the option. SFAS 123R also requires that we recognize
compensation expense for only the portion of options that are expected to vest. Therefore, we have estimated expected forfeitures of stock options with the adoption of SFAS 123R. In developing a forfeiture rate estimate, we have considered our
historical experience and our growing employee base. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

We recognized stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R in the amount of $4.5 million and $1.8 million in the six months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, we had $19.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards granted under our equity plans. The unrecognized
compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible
Assets. We follow the guidance of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets or SFAS 142. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and certain intangible assets are no longer amortized, but instead we assess
the impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets on at least an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible asset is greater than its fair value. Factors we
consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historically or projected future operating results, identification of other impaired assets within a reporting unit, the disposition of a
significant portion of a reporting unit, significant adverse changes in business climate or regulations, significant changes in senior management, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall
business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period, a decline in our credit rating, or a reduction of our market capitalization relative to net book value. Determining whether
a triggering event has occurred includes significant judgment from management.

The estimation of the fair values of goodwill and the
reporting units to which it pertains requires the use of discounted cash flow valuation models. Those models require estimates of future revenue, profits, capital

expenditures and working capital for each unit. These estimates will be determined by evaluating historical trends,
current budgets, operating plans and industry data. Determining the fair value of reporting units and goodwill includes significant judgment by management and different judgments could yield different results.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On June 16, 2008,
the FASB issued Staff Position No. (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of SFAS
128. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. We have determined that the implementation of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will result in the
restricted stock outstanding that is related to the early exercise of stock options being included in the computation of EPS. As of September 30, 2008, we had 1,018,723 shares of restricted stock outstanding related to the early exercise of stock
options that would have been included in the computation of EPS. If FSP EITF 03-6-1 was effective for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, EPS would have been $(0.39) and $(0.78), respectively.

On May 9, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined for public accountants and their firms in the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 states that the GAAP
hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following
the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which revises the factors that an entity should consider to develop renewal
or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The FSP amends paragraph 11(d) of FSAS 142. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008
and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Entities should apply the FSPs guidance on determining the useful life of an intangible asset prospectively to recognized intangible assets acquired after the
FSPs effective date. However, once effective, the FSPs disclosure requirements apply prospectively to all recognized intangible assets, including those acquired before the FSPs effective date. We are currently assessing the impact
that FAS 142-3 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51, (SFAS 160), which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting
entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are in the process of determining
what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (SFAS 141R), which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial
reports about a business combination and its effects. The provisions of SFAS 141R are effective for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are in
the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on our consolidated financial statements.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are not subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in any material respect.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However,
based on the nature and current level of our investments, which are primarily cash and debt obligations, we believe that there is no material risk of exposure.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

(a)Evaluation of
disclosure controls and procedures. The Company evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end
of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. G. Kent Plunkett, our Chief Executive Officer, and Bryce Chicoyne, our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs. Plunkett
and Chicoyne concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report and as of the date of the evaluation.

(b)Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.We continue to review our internal controls over financial reporting, and may from time
to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. These efforts have led to various changes in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of the evaluation completed
by the Company, and in which Messrs. Plunkett and Chicoyne participated, the Company has concluded that there were no changes during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 in our internal controls over financial reporting, which have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION



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

We are not currently subject to
any material legal proceedings. From time to time, however, we may be named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. These claims, even those that lack merit, could result in the expenditure of significant
financial and managerial resources.



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

The following information updates,
and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, could, intends, target, projects, contemplates, believes,
estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our
current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject
to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report. Accordingly, you should not rely
upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. We have identified below some important factors that could cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from actual results, performance or financial condition:



| |  |  | our ability to become profitable;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of our solutions to achieve market acceptance;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a highly competitive market for compensation management;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure of our customers to renew their subscriptions for our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our inability to adequately grow our operations and attain sufficient operating scale;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to generate additional revenues from investments in sales and marketing;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to integrate acquired companies and businesses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our inability to effectively protect our intellectual property and not infringe on the intellectual property of others;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our inability to raise sufficient capital when necessary or at satisfactory valuations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the loss of key personnel;

| |  |  | other factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

The risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial, may also impair our business. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements after the date of this report.

Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions and the
uncertain geopolitical environment

Recent turmoil in the geopolitical environment in many parts of the world and changes in energy
costs may continue to put pressure on global economic conditions. Our operating results may also be affected by uncertain or changing economic conditions, such as the challenges that are currently affecting the credit markets and economic conditions
in the United States. If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in the United States, remain uncertain or persist, spread, or deteriorate further, we may experience material impacts on our business, operating results, and
financial condition.

We have incurred operating losses in the past and expect to incur operating losses in the future.

We have incurred operating losses in the past and we expect to incur operating losses in the future. As of September 30, 2008, our accumulated
deficit is approximately $52.5 million. Our recent operating losses were $12.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, $8.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, and $3.0 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2006. We have not been profitable since our inception, and we may not become profitable. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. If our operating expenses exceed our
expectations, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may not become profitable. You should not consider recent revenue growth as indicative of our future
performance. In fact, in future periods, we may not have any revenue growth, or our revenue could decline.

Our growth could strain our personnel and
infrastructure resources, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.

Rapid growth in our headcount and operations may place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure.
Between March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2008, the number of our full time equivalent employees increased from 76 to 509. We anticipate that additional growth will be required in order to increase our customer base and handle an increase
in the volume of our business.

Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth effectively. To
do so, we must continue to hire, train and manage new employees as needed. To date, we have not experienced any significant problems as a result of the rapid growth in our headcount, other than occasional office space constraints. However, our
anticipated future growth may place greater strains on our resources. For instance, if our new hires perform poorly, or if we are unsuccessful in hiring, training, managing and integrating these new employees as needed, or if we are not successful
in retaining our existing employees, we may not be able to handle any increase in the volume of our business and our business may be harmed. As we continue to grow, we may outgrow our current space in Waltham, Massachusetts, Shanghai, China and
Abingdon, United Kingdom or desire to open additional offices domestically and internationally, which will require us to expend additional financial resources and make it more difficult to manage employees not located at our principal headquarters
and maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies across locations. If we determine that it is necessary or desirable to open additional offices, whether domestically or internationally, management resources will be allocated to
integrating new offices, handling cultural and language issues arising from international operations and managing costs associated with a multi-office organization. Such focus could divert managements attention from managing ongoing business
operations.

##### Table of Contents

To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our
operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. The additional headcount and capital investments we expect to add will increase our cost base, which will make it more difficult for us to offset any future
revenue shortfalls by offsetting expense reductions in the short term. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we will be unable to execute our business plan.

Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards in the United States may be limited.

As of
September 30, 2008, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41.7 million for state and federal tax purposes. These loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2027. To the extent available, we intend to use these net
operating loss carryforwards to reduce the U.S. corporate income tax liability associated with our operations. Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss
carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. Our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards may be limited by the issuance of common stock in our initial
public offering. To the extent our use of net operating loss carryforwards is significantly limited, our income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier than it would if we were able to use net operating loss carryforwards, which could
result in lower profits.

ITEM 2  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Pursuant to the
terms of our 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (Stock Plans), options may typically be exercised prior to vesting. We have the right to repurchase unvested shares from employees upon their
termination, and it is generally our policy to do so. The following table provides information with respect to purchases made by us of shares of our common stock during the three month period ended September 30, 2008:

ITEM 5  OTHER INFORMATION

In September 2008, Kent Plunkett, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan with a brokerage firm. The plan
was established as part of Mr. Plunketts individual long-term investment strategy for asset diversification and liquidity. The plan specifies the number of shares of our common stock that may be sold and the market prices at which the
sales may occur, subject to the terms and conditions of the plan. Mr. Plunkett informed us that he did not have knowledge of any material nonpublic information about Salary.com when he adopted the plan. The transactions under the plan will be
disclosed publicly though appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the plan, the brokerage firm may sell up to 120,000 shares of Salary.com common stock owned by Mr. Plunkett. The plan is scheduled to
terminate in September 2009.

In October 2008, we entered into a new office lease for our subsidiary in Shanghai, China. The lease is for
approximately 2,900 square meters and has an initial term of three years, commencing in January 2009. We can extend the lease for an additional three years at the end of the initial term. Rental payments under the lease are 365,000 Chinese Yuan RMB
per month (approximately $54,000 per month).
