**SoftwareDeveloped for Service Transactions**

Inaccordance with EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 toArrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’sHardware”, the Company applies AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1,*Accounting for the Costs of Computer SoftwareDeveloped or Obtained for Internal Use*. The costs incurred in thepreliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an applicationhas reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct andincremental, will be capitalized until the software is substantially completeand ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of allsubstantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specificupgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result inadditional functionality. Maintenance and training cost are expensed asincurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over itsestimated useful life, generally three years. Management evaluates the usefullives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairments wheneverevents or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverabilityof these assets. There were no impairments to internal software in any of theperiods covered in this report.

TheCompany capitalized software costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of$1,641.  Amortization of capitalizedinternal-use software costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $591.

**RevenueRecognition**

TheCompany derives its revenue from two sources: (1) subscription revenue forsolutions, which is comprised of subscription fees from clients accessing ouron-demand software, consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietarycontent, and from clients purchasing additional support beyond the standardsupport that is included in the basic subscription fee; and (2) other fees fordiscrete professional services. Because the Company provides its solutions as aservice, the Company follows the provisions of Securities and ExchangeCommission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,*Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,* as amended by StaffAccounting Bulletin No. 104,*RevenueRecognition.* On August 1, 2003, the Company adopted Emerging IssuesTask Force Issue No. 00-21,*RevenueArrangements with Multiple Deliverables.* The Company recognizesrevenue when all of the following conditions are met:

·              There is persuasive evidence of anarrangement;

·              The service has been provided tothe client;

·              The collection of the fees isprobable; and

·              The amount of fees to be paid bythe client is fixed or determinable.

Subscriptionfees and support revenues are recognized on a monthly basis over the terms ofthe contracts. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accountsreceivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenuerecognition criteria have been met.

Discreteprofessional services and other revenues, when sold with subscription andsupport offerings, are accounted for separately since these services have valueto the customer on a stand-alone basis and there is objective and reliableevidence of fair value of the delivered elements. The Company’s arrangements donot contain general rights of return. Additionally, when professional servicesare sold with other elements, the consideration from the revenue arrangement isallocated among the separate elements based upon the relative fair value.Professional services and other revenues are recorded as follows: Consultingrevenues are recognized upon completion of the contracts that are of shortduration (generally less than 60 days) and as the services are rendered forcontracts of longer duration.

Indetermining whether revenues from professional services can be accounted forseparately from subscription revenue, the Company considers the followingfactors for each agreement: availability from other vendors, whether objectiveand reliable evidence of fair value exists of the undelivered elements, thenature and the timing of when the agreement was signed in comparison to thesubscription agreement start date and the contractual dependence of thesubscription service on the client’s satisfaction with the other services. Ifthe professional service does not qualify for separate accounting, the Companyrecognizes the revenue ratably over the remaining term of the subscriptioncontract. In these situations, the Company defers the direct and incrementalcosts of the professional service over the same period as the revenue isrecognized.

Deferredrevenue represents payments received or accounts receivable from the Company’sclients for amounts billed in advance of subscription services being provided.

TheCompany reimburses out-of-pocket expenses incurred in accordance with EITFissue 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred”,which requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses beclassified as revenues and not as cost reductions.  Before the December 15, 2001 effective dateof EITF 01-14, out-of-pocket reimbursements from clients were netted with theapplicable costs. These items primarily include travel, meals and certaintelecommunication costs.  For the sixmonths ended June 30, 2006, reimbursed expenses totaled $592.

**Self-Insurance**

TheCompany is self-insured for the majority of its health insurance costs,including claims filed and claims incurred but not reported subject to certainstop loss provisions. The Company estimated the liability based upon management’sjudgment and historical experience. Self-insurance accruals totaled $337 and $190 at June 30, 2006 andDecember 31, 2005, respectively. Management continuously reviews the adequacyof the Company’s stop loss insurance coverage. Material differences may resultin the amount and timing of insurance expense if actual experience differssignificantly from management’s estimates.

**Concentrationof Credit Risk**

Financial instrumentswhich potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consistprimarily of accounts receivable.  Creditrisk arising from receivables is mitigated due to the large number of clientscomprising the Company’s client base and their dispersion across variousindustries.  The clients are concentratedprimarily in the Company’s U.S. market area. At June 30, 2006, there were no clients that represented more than 10%of the net accounts receivable balance. There were no clients that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’srevenues.

Cash balances aremaintained at several banks.  Accountslocated in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit InsuranceCorporation (“FDIC”) up to $100. Certain operating cash accounts may exceed theFDIC limits.

**RecentAccounting Pronouncements**

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in IncomeTaxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), whichclarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretationrequires that we recognize in our financial statements, the impact of a taxposition, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit,based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 areeffective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulativeeffect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment toopening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoptingFIN 48 on our financial statements.

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changesand Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB StatementNo. 3”. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reportingof a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes inaccounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accountingpronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not includespecific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospective applicationto prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle,unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects orthe cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accountingchanges made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do notexpect that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on ourresults of operations or financial condition

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting StandardsBoard (the FASB) issued Interpretation No. 47, *Accountingfor Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations*, an interpretation ofSFAS No. 143, *Accounting for AssetRetirement Obligations.* ThisInterpretation clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liabilityfor the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurredif the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The provisions ofthis pronouncement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 to haveany material financial statement impact.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement ofFinancial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”(SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-basedpayment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 123R alsoestablishes fair value as the measurement method in accounting for share-basedpayments. The FASB required the provisions of SFAS 123R be adopted for interimor annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the SEC adopteda new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123R for public companies. Inaccordance with this rule, we adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 usingthe modified prospective transition method. We did not modify the terms of anypreviously granted options in anticipation of the adoption of SFAS 123R.

We expect the application of the expensing provisionsof SFAS 123R will result in a pretax expense of approximately $2,521 in 2006.Based on the same assumptions used to value our 2006 compensation expense, weestimate our pretax expense associated with our stock-based compensation planswill approximate $2,132 in 2007 and $1,554 in 2008.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects ofShare-Based Payment Awards, to provide an alternative approach of accountingfor the tax effects of employee share-based awards. We have elected to adoptthe alternative transition method provided in FSP FAS 123(R)-3 for calculatingthe tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). Thealternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish thebeginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related tothe tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine thesubsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows ofthe tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstandingupon the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

**Earnings(Loss) Per Share**

The Company followsSFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Under SFAS 128, companies that arepublicly held or have complex capital structures are required to present basicand diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations.  Earnings (loss) per share are based on theweighted average number of shares and common stock equivalents outstandingduring the period.  In the calculation ofdiluted earnings per share, shares outstanding are adjusted to assumeconversion of the Company’s non-interest bearing convertible stock and theexercise of options and warrants if they are dilutive.  In the calculation of basic earnings pershare, weighted average numbers of shares outstanding are used as thedenominator.  The Company had net incomeavailable to common shareholders for the three and six month period ended June30, 2006 and a net loss available to common shareholders for the three and sixmonth period ended June 30, 2005.  As aresult, the common stock equivalents of stock options, warrants and convertiblesecurities issued and outstanding at June 30, 2005 were not included in thecomputation of diluted earnings per share for the period then ended as theywere antidilutive.  Income (loss) pershare is computed as follows:

**Stock-BasedCompensation**

The Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005Option Plan”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)in March 2005 and was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 2005,provides for the granting of stock options to employees and directors at thediscretion of the Board or a committee of the Board.  The 2005 Option Plan replaced the Company’s2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”).  As of June 30, 2006, there were options topurchase 658,006 shares of common stock outstanding under the 2000 OptionPlan.  The Company is authorized to issueup to an aggregate of 4,842,910 shares of its common stock pursuant to stockoptions granted under the 2005 Option Plan. As of June 30, 2006, there were atotal of 3,139,079 shares of common stock not subject to outstanding optionsand available for issuance under the 2005 Option Plan.  The purpose of stock options is to recognizepast services rendered and to provide additional incentive in furthering thecontinued success of the Company.  Stockoptions granted under both the 2005 Option Plan and the 2000 Stock Option Planexpire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and generally vest on the thirdanniversary of the date of grant. Unexercised stock options expire 90 days after an employee’stermination.

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123Rusing the Modified Prospective Approach (“MPA”). The MPA requires thatcompensation expense be recorded for restricted stock and all unvested stockoptions as of January 1, 2006. Upon adoption we will continue to recognizethe cost of previously granted share-based awards under the straight-line basisand anticipate that we will recognize the cost for new share-based awards on astraight-line basis over the requisite service period.

SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fairvalue of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using anoption-pricing model.  In 2005 and 2006,the fair value of each grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuationmodel.  Expected volatility was basedupon a weighted average of peer companies, comparable indices, and the Company’sstock volatility.  The expected life wasdetermined based upon an average of the contractual life and vesting period ofthe options.  The estimated forfeiturerate was based upon an analysis of historical data.   The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasuryzero coupon bond yields at the time of grant. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining thefair value of the stock-based awards for each of the quarters during the yearended December 31, 2005 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30,2006, respectively.

| Forfeited or  expired           |       | (70,300    | )          | $                                                        | 7.82       |   |
| Nonvested at June 30,  2006     |       | 1,038,100  |       | $                                                        | 8.23       |   |

 

As of June 30, 2006, there was $5,956 of totalunrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensationarrangements granted under the 2005 Option Plan and the 2000 Option Plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over aweighted-average period of 4.0 years.

SFAS No. 123R also requires us to change the classificationof any tax benefits realized upon exercise of stock options in excess of thatwhich is associated with the expense recognized for financial reportingpurposes. These amounts are presented as a financing cash inflow rather than asa reduction of income taxes paid in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,we classified stock-based compensation within cost of goods sold, selling,general and administrative expenses and research and development correspondingto the same line as the cash compensation paid to respective employees,officers and non-employee directors.

Priorto January 1, 2006 the Company accounted for stock options under AccountingPrinciples Board (“APB”) Opinion 25.  Had compensation expense for stock options granted been determined basedon the fair value at the grant dates under the provisions of SFAS 123, theCompany’s pro forma net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 would not havebeen materially different.

The purchase price was allocated to the tangible andidentified intangible assets and the excess of the total purchase price overthe amounts assigned was recorded to goodwill. The estimated fair values of the intangibles assets are furtherdescribed below.  Customer lists,internally developed software, and net operating loss tax attributes are beingamortized over their estimated useful lives.  Goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment.

In accordance with Statement of Financial AccountingStandard No. 141 the purchase price allocation for Webhire has been updated toreflect additional transaction fees and additional information concerning our deferredincome tax analysis since the acquisition. The deferred income tax and corresponding valuation allowance have beenincreased to reflect current estimates relating to the utilization of theacquired NOL as well as any NOL limitations from the acquisition.  These adjustments and any future

adjustments to the deferred tax asset or correspondingNOL will be adjusted through the goodwill and recorded as part of thetransaction.

The valuation of customer lists in the amount of$1,031, which relates to Webhire’s current customer portfolio, was determinedbased upon estimated discounted incremental future cash flow to be received asa result of these relationships.

The valuation of the net operating loss tax attributesof $6,340 was based upon the anticipated use of the present value of cash flowsfrom Webhire’s net operating losses.

Goodwill from the acquisition resulted from our beliefthat the recruiter products developed by Webhire will be complementary to ourKenexa Recruiter product offerings and will help us remain competitive in thetalent acquisition market.  The goodwillfrom the Webhire acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

If the Webhire acquisition had occurred on January 1,2005, the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2005 would have been:

**Overview**

Weprovide software, services and proprietary content that enable organizations tomore effectively recruit and retain employees. Our solutions are built around asuite of easily configurable software applications that automate talentacquisition and employee performance management best practices. We offer thesoftware applications that form the core of our solutions on an on-demandbasis, which materially reduces the costs and risks associated with deployingtraditional enterprise applications. We complement our software applicationswith tailored combinations of outsourcing services, consulting services andproprietary content based on our 18 years of experience assisting clients inaddressing their human resource requirements. Together, our softwareapplications and services form solutions that we believe enable our clients toimprove the effectiveness of their talent acquisition programs, increaseemployee productivity and retention, measure key HR metrics and make theirtalent acquisition and employee performance management programs more efficient.

Since1999, we have focused on providing talent acquisition and employee performancemanagement solutions on a subscription basis and currently generate asignificant portion of our revenue from these subscriptions. For the six monthsended June 30, 2006 and 2005, revenue from these subscriptions comprisedapproximately 78.7% and 75.8%, respectively, of our total revenue. We generatethe remainder of our revenue from discrete professional services that are notprovided as part of an integrated solution on a subscription basis. Thesesubscription-based solutions provide us with a recurring revenue stream and webelieve represent a more compelling opportunity in terms of growth andprofitability than discrete professional services.  As a result, since 1999 discrete professionalservices have represented a consistently decreasing percentage of ourrevenue.  We expect that trend to continue.

Wesell our solutions to large- and medium-sized organizations through our directsales force.  As of December 31,2005, we had a client base of approximately 2,200 companies, includingapproximately 119 companies on the Fortune 500 list published inApril 2005. As a result of our acquisition of Webhire, Inc. inJanuary 2006, we increased our client base to approximately 2,400companies, including approximately 131 companies on the Fortune 500 listpublished in April 2005. Our client base includes companies that we billedfor services during the year ended December 31, 2005 and does notnecessarily indicate an ongoing relationship with each such client. Our top 80clients contributed approximately $30 million, or 62.8%, of our total revenue forthe six months ended June 30, 2006.

**RecentEvents**

OnJanuary 13, 2006, we acquired Webhire, Inc., a provider of end-to-end talentacquisition solutions for recruitment and human resource professionals inmiddle-market enterprises across all industries, for approximately $34.4million in cash. The total cost of the acquisition, including legal,accounting, and other professional fees of $0.7 million, was approximately$35.1 million.  The strategicrationale for acquiring Webhire included expanding our market opportunity andproduct suite, broadening our vertical market specialization and increasing ourcustomer base through cross-sales to Webhire’s customers.

On March 8, 2006, we completed our follow-on publicoffering of 2,425,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $27.00 pershare.  We also sold an additional216,800 shares of our common stock to cover over-allotments of shares.  Our net proceeds from the offering, afterpayment of all offering expenses and commissions, aggregated approximately$66.5 million.  Current unpaid offering expenses were $0.2million at June 30, 2006.  In addition,certain of our shareholders sold an aggregate of 3,510,700 shares of our commonstock in the offering, including an over-allotment of 585,700 shares.  We received no proceeds from the common stocksold by the selling shareholders in the offering.

On April 10, 2006, we acquired Knowledge Workers Inc.,a human capital consulting and technology firm based in Denver Colorado, forapproximately $2.5 million in cash.  Thetotal cost of the acquisition, including estimated legal, accounting, and otherprofessional fess, was approximately $2.6 million.

**Sources of Revenue**

Wederive revenue primarily from two sources: (1) subscription revenue for oursolutions, which is comprised of subscription fees from clients accessing ouron-demand software, consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietarycontent, and from clients purchasing additional support that is not included inthe basic subscription fee; and (2) fees for discrete professional services.

Ourclients primarily purchase renewable subscriptions for our solutions. Thetypical term is one to three years, with some terms extending up to fiveyears.  The majority of our subscriptionagreements are not cancelable for convenience although our clients have theright to terminate their contracts for cause if we fail to provide the agreedupon services or otherwise breach the agreement. A client does not generallyhave a right to a refund of any advance payments if the contract is cancelled.We expect that we will maintain our renewal rate of approximately 90.0% of theaggregate contract value up for renewal for 2006, 2007 and 2008. The revenuederived from subscription fees is recognized ratably over the term of thesubscription agreement. We generally invoice our clients in advance in monthlyor quarterly installments and typical payment terms provide that our clientspay us within 30 days of invoice. Amounts that have been invoiced are recordedin accounts receivable prior to the receipt of payment and in deferred revenueto the extent revenue recognition criteria have not been met. As thesubscription component of our revenue has grown and clients’ willingness to payus in advance for their subscriptions has increased, the amount of deferredrevenue on our balance sheet has grown at a higher rate than our revenue. As ofJune 30, 2006, deferred revenue increased to $17.1 million from $12.6 millionat December 31. 2005.  We generally priceour solutions based on the number of software applications and servicesincluded and the number of client employees. Accordingly, subscription fees aregenerally greater for larger organizations and for those that subscribe for abroader array of software applications and services.

Asmall portion of our clients purchase discrete professional services. Theseservices primarily consist of consulting and training services. In addition, werecognize a small amount of revenue from sales of perpetual software licenses.The revenue from these services and licenses is recognized differentlydepending on the type of service or license provided as described in greaterdetail below under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

We generate substantially all of our revenue fromwithin the United States. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately92.5% of our total revenue was derived from sales in the United States.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006,approximately 7.5%, of our total revenue was derived from areas outside theUnited States. Other than the revenue that we generated from clients in theNetherlands and the United Kingdom, which in the aggregate amounted to 3.8% ofour total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and revenue that wasgenerated from clients in Canada which amounted to 1.7% for the six monthsended June 30, 2006, we did not have revenue from any other country in excessof 1.0% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The following is adiscussion of some of the terms used in the tables above.

***Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue****.* Subscription revenue as a percentage oftotal revenue can be derived from our consolidated statement of operations.This performance indicator illustrates the evolution of our business towardssubscription-based solutions, which provide us with a recurring revenue streamand which we believe to be a more compelling revenue growth and profitabilityopportunity. We expect that the percentage of subscription revenue will be inthe range of 76-80% of our total revenues through at least 2007.

***Net cash provided by operating activities****.* Net cash provided by operatingactivities is taken from our consolidated statement of cash flows andrepresents the amount of cash generated by our operations that is available forinvesting and financing activities. Historically, our net cash provided by operatingactivities has exceeded our net income primarily due to the positive impact ofdeferred revenue. We expect this trend to continue because of the advancepayment structure of our subscription agreements and because as our salesincrease, we expect incremental costs to decline.

***Deferred revenue****.* We generate revenue primarily frommulti-year subscriptions for our on-demand talent acquisition and employeeperformance management solutions. We recognize revenue from these subscriptionagreements ratably over the term of the contract, which are typically one tothree years. We generally invoice our clients in quarterly or monthlyinstallments in advance. Deferred revenue, which is included in ourconsolidated balance sheets, is the amount of invoiced subscriptions in excessof the amount recognized as revenue. Deferred revenue represents, in part, theamount that we will record as revenue in our consolidated statements ofoperations in future periods. As the subscription component of our revenue hasgrown and customer willingness to pay us in advance for their subscriptions hasincreased, the amount of deferred revenue on our balance sheet has grown at ahigher rate than our revenue growth rate. We expect this trend to continue.

The following tablereconciles beginning and ending deferred revenue for each of the periods shown:

***Revenues***

Total revenue increased $8.7 million or 54.4% and$17.4 million or 57.3% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005 to $24.7 million and $47.7million, respectively. Our subscription revenue increased by $7.8 million or64.6% and $14.5 million or 63.3% during the three and six months ended June 30,2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005 to $19.9 million and$37.5 million, respectively. Subscription revenue represented approximately 80%of our revenues for three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase isprimarily attributable to the Webhire acquisition and the integration of ourtwo sales forces and the continued acceptance of our on-demand model. Our otherrevenue increased by $0.9 million or 22.6% and $2.8 million or 38.6% to $4.8million and $10.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005.   The year- to-date increase was due primarilyto an increase in demand for our consulting services resulting from an increasein our subscription based revenues and the receipt of approximately $0.5million of non-recurring “success” fees related to meeting certainclient-specific objectives.  For theremainder of the year we expect subscription based and other revenue toincrease from the prior year due to customer acquisitions and additional salesto existing customers.

***Cost of Revenue***

Ourcost of revenue consists primarily of compensation, employee benefits andtravel-related expenses for our employees and independent contractors whoprovide consulting or other professional services to our clients. Additionally,our application hosting costs, amortization of third-party license royaltycosts, technical support personnel costs, allocated overhead and reimbursedexpenses are also recorded as cost of revenue. Many factors affect our cost ofrevenue, including changes in the mix of products and services, pricing trends,changes in the amount of reimbursed expenses and fluctuations in our clientbase. Because cost as a percentage of revenue is higher for professionalservices than for software products, an increase in the services component ofour solutions or an increase in discrete professional services as a percentageof our total revenue would reduce gross profit as a percentage of totalrevenue. As our business expands, we expect that third-party license royaltycosts and personnel costs associated with the delivery of our solutions willcontinue to fall within a range of approximately 26% to 30% of revenues.

 Costof revenue increased by $2.1 million or 45.1% and $4.4 million or 50.5% for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the sameperiods in 2005 to $6.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively. As apercentage of revenue cost of revenue decreased by 1.7% and 1.2% to 27.0% and27.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, comparedto the same periods in 2005.   While theadoption of SFAS 123-R added approximately $0.1 million to our cost of revenueand 0.5% cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue, respectively, for thequarter ended June 30, 2006, the decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage ofrevenue, after adjusting for non-cash compensation associated with the adoptionof SFAS 123R, was mostly due to an increase in revenue with minimalcorresponding costs.

***Sales and Marketing (“S&M”) expense***

S&Mexpense primarily consists of personnel and related costs for employees engagedin sales and marketing, including salaries, commissions and other variablecompensation, travel expenses and costs associated with trade shows, advertisingand other marketing efforts and allocated overhead. We expense our salescommissions at the time the related revenue is recognized, and we recognizerevenue from our subscription agreements ratably over the term of theagreements. Investment in sales and marketing commencing in 2003 resulted insignificant revenue growth during 2004 and 2005. We intend to continue toinvest in sales and marketing to pursue new clients and expand relationshipswith existing clients. As a result, we expect S&M expense to increase. Wedo not, however, expect sales and marketing expense to increase significantlyas a percentage of revenue.

S&M expense increased $1.8 million or 45.6% and$3.9 million or 52.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005 to $5.7 million and $11.4million, respectively. Increased staff related expense and travel expensecontributed approximately $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to theincrease in S&M expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from theprior year. The increase in compensation and travel expense was attributableprimarily to 13 additional employees in S&M.   Additionally, $0.1 million in non-cash stockoption expense from our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 and $0.2 million of otherexpense also contributed to the increase in S&M expense for the quarterended June 30, 2006 over the comparable period in the prior year.   For the six months ended June 30, 2006,increased staff related expense and other compensation including performancebonuses and commissions contributed of $2.5 million and $0.4 million,respectively, to the increase in S&M expense from the prior year.  In addition, $0.3 million in non-cash stockoption expense from our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006, $0.4 million in travelexpense, and $0.3 million of other expense also contributed to the increase inS&M expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the comparableperiod in the prior year.  As a percentageof revenues, S&M expense decreased from 24.5% to 23.1%, and 24.8% to 24.0%,respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to thesame periods in 2005 due to increased revenues.

***General and Administrative (“G&A”) expense***

G&Aexpense primarily consists of personnel and related costs for our executive,finance, human resources and administrative personnel, professional fees andother corporate expenses and allocated overhead. As we expand our business andincur additional expenses associated with being a public company, including thecosts of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other regulationsgoverning public companies, we believe that G&A expense will increase in dollaramount and may increase as a percentage of revenue in 2006 and future periods.

##### G&A expense increased by $2.3 million or66.0% and $4.3 million or 62.9% to $5.9 million and $11.2 million for the threeand six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periodsin 2005. The $2.3 million increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was duein part to an increase in salary expenses of $0.7 million related to theaddition of 15 employees.  In addition, non-cash stock option expensefrom our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006, travel expense, rent expense andprofessional fees contributed of $0.5 million, $0.1 million $0.3 million and$0.4 million, respectively, to the increase in G&A expense for the sixmonths ended June 30, 2006 versus the comparable period in the prior year.  The remainder of the increase of $0.3 millionwas attributable to increases in infrastructure expenses such as phone,supplies, utilities, insurance and other

The$4.3 million increase for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was due in part toan increase in staff related expense of $1.5 million related to the addition of15 employees from our Webhire acquisition. In addition, non-cash stock option expense from our adoption of SFAS 123Rin 2006, travel expense, rent expense and professional fees contributed of $0.7million, $0.3 million $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to theincrease in G&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus thecomparable period in the prior year.  Theremainder of the increase of $0.6 million was attributable to increases ininfrastructure expenses such as phone, supplies, utilities, insurance andother.  As a percentage of revenue,G&A expense was approximately the same at 23% for each of the six monthsended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

***Research and Development (“R&D”) expense***

R&Dexpense primarily consists of personnel and related costs, including salariesand employee benefits for software engineers, quality assurance engineers,product managers, technical sales engineers and management information systemspersonnel.  Our R&D efforts have beendevoted primarily to new product offerings and incidental enhancements andupgrades to our existing products.  Ourcapitalized software includes a small percentage of our R&D expense.  Capitalized R&D expense totaled $0.3million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,respectively. The remaining R&D expense has been expensed as incurred. Weexpect R&D expense to increase in the future as we employ more personnel tosupport enhancements of our solutions and new solutions offerings. However, weexpect R&D expense to decrease as a percentage of revenue primarily due toincreased efficiencies from our global development center.

R&D expense increased $0.9 million or 89.7% to 1.8million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in2005.  For the six months ended June 30,2006 R&D expense increased $1.3 million or 61.3% to $3.4 million.  The $0.9 million and 1.3 million increase inR&D for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was due primarily tothe addition of 27 developers.  As apercentage of revenues, R&D expense increased from 6.0% to 7.3%, for thethree months ended June 30, 2006 and remained the same at approximately 7.0%,for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005.

***Depreciation and Amortization***

Depreciationand amortization expense increased by $0.3 million and $0.4 million orapproximately 52.1% and 41.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005 to $0.8 million and $1.5million, respectively.  In the future, weexpect depreciation and amortization expense to increase due to recent capitalpurchases.

***Interestincome on mandatory redeemable shares***

Interest income onmandatory redeemable shares decreased $5.1 million following the redemption ofclass A and B preferred shares during the company’s initial public offering.

***Incometax expense on operations***

Income tax expenseon operations increased by $1.0 million and $1.2 million or approximately 460%for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to thesame periods in 2005.  The increase inexpense was due to increased taxable income and the full utilization of our federalnet operating loss carryforwards from the prior periods.

Webelieve that our cash and cash equivalent balances and cash flows fromoperations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capitalexpenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.  We intend to continue to invest our cash inexcess of current operating requirements in interest-bearing, investment-gradesecurities. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated revenue,increased expenses or other events, may cause us to seek additional debt orequity financing. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or atall, and our failure to raise capital when needed could negatively impact ourgrowth plans and our financial condition and consolidated results ofoperations. Additional equity financing would be dilutive to the holders of ourcommon stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant cashpayment obligations and covenants or financial ratios that restrict our abilityto operate our business.

**CriticalAccounting Policies and Estimates**

Ourdiscussion and analysis of our financial condition and consolidated results ofoperations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which havebeen prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles inthe United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statementsrequires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate ourestimates, including those related to uncollectible accounts receivable andaccrued expenses. We base these estimates on historical experience and variousother assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, theresults of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying valuesof assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Ouractual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that the following critical accountingpolicies affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparationof our consolidated financial statements:

***Revenue Recognition***

Wederive our revenue from two sources: (1) subscription revenues for solutions,which are comprised of subscription fees from clients accessing our on-demandsoftware, consulting services, outsourcing services and proprietary content,and from clients purchasing additional support beyond the standard support thatis included in the basic subscription fee; and (2) other fees for discreteprofessional services. Because we provide our solutions as a service, we followthe provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting BulletinNo. 101,*Revenue Recognition in FinancialStatements,* as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,*Revenue Recognition.* On August 1, 2003,we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21,*Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.*We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

·              There is persuasive evidence of anarrangement;

·              The service has been provided tothe client;

·              The collection of the fees isprobable; and

·              The amount of fees to be paid bythe customer is fixed or determinable.

Subscription feesand support revenues are recognized on a monthly basis over the terms of thecontracts. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivableand in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenuerecognition criteria have been met.

Discreteprofessional services, when sold with subscription and support offerings, areaccounted for separately since these services have value to the customer on astand-alone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value ofthe delivered elements. Our arrangements do not contain general rights ofreturn. Additionally, when professional services are sold with other elements,the consideration from the revenue arrangement is allocated among the separateelements based upon the relative fair value. Revenues from professionalservices are recognized as the services are rendered.

Indetermining whether revenues from professional services can be accounted forseparately from subscription revenue, we consider the following factors foreach agreement: availability of professional services from other vendors,whether objective and reliable evidence of the fair value exists of theundelivered elements, the nature and the timing of the agreement execution incomparison to the subscription agreement start date and the contractualdependence of the subscription service on the customer’s satisfaction with theother services. If the professional service does not qualify for separateaccounting, we recognize the revenue ratably over the remaining term of thesubscription contract. In these situations we defer the direct and incrementalcosts of the professional service over the same period as the revenue isrecognized.

Werecord out-of-pocket expenses incurred in accordance with EITF issue 01-14,Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket”Expenses Incurred, which requires that reimbursements received forout-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue and not as cost reductions.Before the December 15, 2001 effective date of EITF Issue 01-14, out-of-pocket

25

----

reimbursements from clients were netted with theapplicable costs.  These items primarilyinclude travel, meals and certain telecommunication costs.

***Allowance for Doubtful Accounts***

Wemaintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting fromclients’ inability to pay us. The provision is based on our historicalexperience and for specific clients that, in our opinion, are likely to defaulton our receivables from them. In order to identify these clients, we performongoing reviews of all clients that have breached their payment terms, as wellas those that have filed for bankruptcy or for whom information has becomeavailable indicating a significant risk of non-recoverability. In addition, wehave experienced significant growth in number of clients, and we have lesspayment history to rely upon with these clients. We rely on historical trendsof bad debt as a percentage of total revenue and apply these percentages to theaccounts receivable associated with new clients and evaluate these clients overtime. To the extent that our future collections differ from our assumptionsbased on historical experience, the amount of our bad debt and allowancerecorded may be different.

***Capitalized Software Research and Development Costs***

Inaccordance with EITF Issue 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on AnotherEntity’s Hardware,” we apply AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accountingfor the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Thecosts incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed asincurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal andexternal costs, if direct and incremental, will be capitalized until thesoftware is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We alsocapitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it isprobable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenanceand training cost are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortizedon a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years.Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis andtests for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances occur thatcould impact the recoverability of these assets. There were no impairments tointernal software in any of the periods covered in this report.

***Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Asset Impairment***

OnJanuary 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142,*Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets* which superseded AccountingBoard Opinion No. 17,*Intangible Assets.*Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortization of existing goodwill andare required to review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment. Ifgoodwill becomes impaired, some or all of the goodwill could be written off asa charge to operations. This comparison is performed annually or morefrequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.We have reviewed the carrying values of goodwill of each business unit bycomparing the carrying values to the estimated fair values of the businesscomponents. The fair value is based on management’s estimate of the futurediscounted cash flows to be generated by the respective business components andcomparable company multiples. Such cash flows consider factors such as futureoperating income, historical trends, as well as demand and competition.Comparable company multiples are based upon public companies in sectorsrelevant to our business based on our knowledge of the industry. Changes in theunderlying business could affect these estimates, which in turn could affectthe recoverability of goodwill.  ThroughJune 30, 2006, we have not observed any changes to our business units whichwould lead us to believe that our goodwill or other identified intangibles’carrying value exceeds their fair values.

***Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation***

We use aBlack-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of our stockawards. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholesoption-pricing model is affected by our stock price on the date of grant aswell as assumptions regarding the following:

·               Volatilityis a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuateeach year during the expected life of the award and is based on a weightedaverage of peer companies, comparable indices and our stock volatility.   An increase in the volatility would resultin an increase in our expense.

·               Theexpected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected tobe outstanding and is    currently basedupon an average of the contractual life and the vesting period of the options.    With the passage of time actual behavioralpatterns surrounding the expected term will replace the currentmethodology.   Changes in the futureexercise behavior of employees or in the vesting period of the award couldresult in a change in the expected term. An increase in the expected term wouldresult in an increase to our expense.

·               Therisk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect attime of grant. An increase in the risk-free interest rate would result in anincrease in our expense.

Stock-basedcompensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of thenumber of awards that are expected to vest. In determining the stock-basedcompensation expense to be recognized, a forfeiture rate is applied to the fairvalue of the award. This rate represents the number of awards that are expectedto be forfeited prior to vesting and is based on Kenexa’s employee historicalbehavior. Changes in the future behavior of employees could impact this rate. Adecrease in this rate would result in an increase in our expense.

***Accounting for Income Taxes***

Weaccount for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accountingfor Income Taxes,” or SFAS 109, which requires that deferred tax assets andliabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporarydifferences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities.SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuationallowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of all of thedeferred tax asset will not be realized.

Therealization of the deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly by assessing thevaluation allowance and by adjusting the amount of the allowance, if necessary.The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the forecast offuture taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could beimplemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. We have used tax-planningstrategies to realize or renew net deferred tax assets in order to avoid thepotential loss of future tax benefits.

Inaddition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject toaudit in each jurisdiction. These audits can involve complex issues that mayrequire an extended period of time to resolve. In our opinion, adequateprovisions for income taxes have been made for all periods.

***Self-Insurance***

Weare self-insured for the majority of our health insurance costs, includingclaims filed and claims incurred but not reported subject to certain stop lossprovisions. We estimate our liability based upon management’s judgment andhistorical experience. We also rely on the advice of consulting administratorsin determining an adequate liability for self-insurance claims. For the sixmonths ended June 30, 2006 our self-insurance accrual totaled $0.3 million. Wecontinuously review the adequacy of our insurance coverage. Materialdifferences may result in the amount and timing of insurance expense if actualexperience differs significantly from management’s estimates.

**Item 3:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

Marketrisk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due toadverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposureis primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencyexchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for tradingpurposes.

***Foreign Currency Exchange Risk***

Forthe six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately 92.4% of our total revenuewas comprised of sales to clients in the United States. A key component of ourbusiness strategy is to expand our international sales efforts, which willexpose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A 10% change in thevalue of the U.S. dollar relative to each of the currencies of ournon-U.S-generated sales would not have resulted in a material change to ourresults. As of June 30, 2006, we werenot engaged in any foreign currency hedging activities.

Thefinancial position and operating results of our United Kingdom and Indiaoperations are consolidated using the local currency as the functionalcurrency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate ofexchange to the U.S. dollar on the balance sheet date, and the local currencyrevenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange to the U.S.dollar during the period. The related translation adjustments was approximately$0.3 million at June 30, 2006, and is included in accumulated othercomprehensive income**.** The foreigncurrency translation adjustment is not adjusted for income taxes as it relatesto an indefinite investment in a non-U.S. subsidiary.

***Interest Rate Risk***

Theprimary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal whilemaximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securitiesin which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change inprevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment tofluctuate. To minimize this risk in the future, we intend to maintain ourportfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety ofsecurities, including commercial paper, money market funds, government andnon-government debt securities and certificates of deposit. Our cash equivalents,which consist solely of money market funds, are not subject to market riskbecause the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailinginterest rate. We do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would havea significant effect on our interest income.

**Item4: Controls and Procedures**

Under thesupervision of and with the participation of our management, including ourprincipal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted anevaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosurecontrols and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by thisreport, or the Evaluation Date. Based upon the evaluation, our principalexecutive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosurecontrols and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date. Disclosurecontrols are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure thatinformation required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the ExchangeAct, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reportedwithin the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosurecontrols include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure thatsuch information is accumulated and communicated to our management, includingour chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate toallow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection withthis evaluation, our management identified no changes in our internal controlover financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarterthat materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourinternal control over financial reporting.
