PART I

Forward-Looking Information

This annual report on Form 10-K (this Annual Report or this Form 10-K) contains 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 may also be included from time to time in our other public filings, press
releases, our website and oral and written presentations by management. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as
may, will, expects, believes, anticipates, plans, estimates, projects, predicts, targets, seeks, could,
intends, foresees or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, initiatives, objectives, plans or goals are forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements are based on managements current intent, belief, expectations, estimates and
projections regarding our Company and our industry. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may vary
materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. The risk factors set forth below under Item 1A. Risk Factors, and other matters discussed from time to time in subsequent filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the Risk Factors sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, among others, could affect future results, causing these results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking
statements. In that event, our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity could be materially adversely affected and investors in our securities could lose part or all of their investments. Accordingly, our investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because, while we believe the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements
will prove to be accurate.

Further, the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K and those included from
time to time in our other public filings, press releases, our website and oral and written presentations by management are only made as of the respective dates thereof. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement in
this Form 10-K or in other documents, our website or oral statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. Readers are urged, however, to review the factors set forth in reports that we file
from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless the context requires otherwise in this Annual Report the terms we, us and our refer to Lyris, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

We offer our marketing software solutions as licensed software that customers purchase and
download on their computers, and a hosted service that customers use on a subscription basis through an Internet connection.

Prior to August 2006, Lyris was a provider of hosted and licensed email marketing software through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lyris
Technologies, Inc. and Uptilt, Inc. (d/b/a EmailLabs). On August 18, 2006, the Company acquired ClickTracks Analytics, Inc. (ClickTracks), a Web analytics provider, and Hot Banana Software, Inc. (Hot Banana),
an e-marketing Web content management company. Both EmailLabs and ClickTracks were merged into Lyris Technologies, Inc. in late 2007. In connection with this merger, we integrated our software offerings, those companies software offerings and
our hosted EmailLabs email marketing offering into our on-demand, integrated marketing solution, Lyris HQ.

In addition
to Lyris HQ, we continue to offer the following separate individual online marketing solutions: Lyris ListManager, our licensed software product for email marketing; EmailLabs,our hosted email marketing software; and
EmailAdvisor,our deliverability monitoring tool. We also offer as separate products ClickTracks,our Web analytics product and Lyris Hot Banana,our Web content management software.

Business Strategy

Our primary goal is to achieve long-term sustainable growth, create value for our stockholders and improve customer satisfaction. Our
business strategy is based on our commitment to providing the best on-demand Web-based marketing platform and services. Our platform is a full-suite of integrated online marketing solutions with superior ease of use and convenience. Our objective is
to expand our offerings globally to effectively reach more of our targeted customers and provide them with high quality online marketing solutions and online marketing professional services and support. We believe that continued investment in
research and development is critical to our ability to develop and enhance our products and technologies.

To achieve our
vision, we are focused on the following key initiatives that will drive our future performance:



| |  |  | Developing and strengthening our products and services: We will continue to develop innovative software applications and marketing solutions that
deliver value for our customers. In November 2007, we began to offer Lyris HQ, an integrated on-demand marketing suite that consolidates our full suite of digital marketing technologies into a single sign-on dashboard interface, as our
premier core product. We will continue to invest in Lyris HQ with the goal of making it the best on-demand integrated marketing solution in the market.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Being a leader in digital marketing technology and related services: We will strengthen our position in the digital marketing space. Becoming a leader
involves product awareness and creation of key offerings. We will continue to extend our marketing knowledge to new and existing Lyris customers worldwide.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | People: We will continue to create a great place to work where people are inspired to give their best efforts towards Lyris success. We hire and
retain a highly talented and diverse workforce to establish a productive working environment. In addition, we will improve training opportunities and identify visible career paths for our employees.

| |  |  | Business Partners: We will continue to nurture a winning network of business partners and build mutual trust and loyalty.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Profitability: We will strive to maximize returns to shareholders, while being mindful of our overall financial responsibilities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We operate in the highly competitive online and email marketing industry and meet strong competition from
other email marketing companies. Our financial results, like those of other companies, are being impacted by the current economic pressures as businesses cut back on spending. Because we offer a leading on-demand marketing platform solution in the
market, Lyris HQsales continue to increase. We believe that Lyris is well-positioned to weather the current economic pressures based on our ongoing technological innovations and implementation of an across-the-board cost reduction
initiative.

During fiscal year 2010, we continued to expand our offerings, specifically Lyris HQ,in Europe and other
international markets. We believe there is a significant market opportunity in Europe and Latin America, and we expect to aggressively market to these customers. We will continue to extend our marketing knowledge resources to new and existing Lyris

(SMB) and mid-market companies that use the Internet to market and sell their goods and services. The affordable price of Lyris HQ, starting at $299/month (as of the filing date of this Annual Report), allows everyday marketers to
simplify their processes, unify their marketing efforts and improve a campaigns return on investment.

In October, 2009,
we released Lyris HQ for Salesforce.com (LHQS) connecting our customers with one of the worlds leading CRM solutions. LHQS enables marketers to identify qualified leads and route them to the appropriate sales representatives
for immediate follow up  all automatically. As a result, Lyris HQ is now listed on the Salesforce.com AppExchange, the online store through which Salesforce.com promotes and resells partner solutions.

effective in diverse industries, allows users to conduct both small and large-scale email campaigns.

EmailLabsis our brand of hosted email marketing software, which also manages email campaigns and communications. EmailLabsis integrated into the Lyris HQ platform and provides the email campaign capabilities within this software suite.

EmailAdvisoris our deliverability monitoring tool that helps facilitate the delivery of legitimate email while
taking into account the complexity of different email viewing applications. With the email difficulties that can be caused by spam (see U.S. and Foreign Government Regulation below), many ISPs (Internet service providers), network
administrators and others now deploy anti-spam filters to prevent spam from entering their email inbox. Many of these anti-spam filters unfortunately block legitimate emails that people want to receive. EmailAdvisor helps email senders design
their messages and campaigns to minimize the chance that legitimate email is wrongly blocked. EmailAdvisoris also integrated into Lyris HQand provides this email deliverability monitoring capability.

Web Analytics Software

ClickTracksis our Web analytics product, which is offered as licensed software or as a hosted application. Web analytics
software uses cookies and simple java-script to track and report on the activity of visitors to a website or landing page. This software then allows the user to analyze the behavior of those visitors and report on basic statistics about this
behavior. We also sell ClickTracksto agencies and ISPs, which run the software on behalf of other customers. ClickTracks is integrated into the Lyris HQ platform and provides the Web analytics capabilities within the integrated
application.

Sales and Marketing

Our
sales and marketing activities are based in our Emeryville, California operating headquarters with additional personnel in San Jose, California; Barrie, Ontario, Canada and London, England. The sales team is divided into two main groups, dedicated
to (1) selling licensed software, primarily Lyris ListManager, and (2) selling Lyris HQ.Our main sales channels are direct and indirect sales. Direct sales are primarily by phone and field sales personnel who are assigned to
a region or country. Our inside sales team is principally responsible for generating and identifying qualified leads. Indirect sales are referrals from existing business partners who introduce us to potential customers. Our sales teams incorporate
account managers who focus on retention of existing customers and engagement managers that develop additional business from our largest customers.

We employ integrated marketing campaigns that combine the Internet and offline media. Our marketing strategy includes attending periodic
trade shows and events and seeking promotional partners through business development activities, including technology, agency and referral partnerships. As part of our marketing strategy, we use cross-media advertising methodology, which includes
limited print advertising, with significant Internet advertising including pay-per-click marketing on major search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

Customer Service and Support

Our hosted service offerings include free access to our online support databases and Web seminars on the fundamentals of our hosted
products and the basics of online marketing and communication. Customers receive automatic upgrades since the service is hosted on our servers. Lyris standard contract allows for telephone support (6 a.m.- 6 p.m. Pacific time) and
24/7 telephone support for system emergencies. In addition, each customer is given a standard one to two-hour training session. Lyris provides additional fee-based customized training sessions for a charge.

We also offer account management to customers that are looking for additional support in deploying their marketing initiatives. Account
management focuses on increasing customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Account Managers work closely with customers to understand their online marketing goals and objectives, as well as provide guidance and best practice recommendations to
ensure client success when using our products and services. Account Managers are also responsible for developing new business opportunities from our existing customer base.

##### Table of Contents

For our licensed software customers, we provide customer service and support in differing
levels depending on the product purchased. Software customers receive included support, which provides free Web access to our online support databases and thirty days of online and telephone support. Customers may also purchase two
levels of paid support. The first level, referred to as Essential Support, provides online assistance, telephone support (6 a.m.- 6 p.m. Pacific time) and access to minor upgrades during the term of the support contract. The
second level, referred to as Comprehensive Support, includes online assistance and telephone support (6 a.m.- 6 p.m. Pacific time) and access to minor and major upgrades for one year.

Operations

We believe
that continuous data center operations are crucial to our success in selling hosted services. We currently lease space and services in secure co-location data facilities in Milpitas, Fremont, Sunnyvale and Emeryville, California. These
facilities house the servers that our hosted customers use to access our services. In addition, these facilities have redundant electrical generators and UPS power supplies, fire suppression systems, and 24/7 physical securities that protect
the facilities.

We continuously monitor the performance of our service. Our monitoring features include centralized
performance consoles, automated load distribution tools and various self-diagnostic tools and programs that constantly monitor our systems and notify systems engineers if any unexpected conditions arise. Those system engineers and our dedicated
operations team are committed to ensuring that our customers have access to our hosted network to enable delivery of marketing solutions on a real time basis.

Technology

Lyris
HQ, our premier product, is written in Adobe Flex and delivered as a Web-based Flash application. This allows us to provide a Rich Internet Application to our customers. Lyris HQ is the integrated user front-end for our individual point
applications backends. Lyris HQ communicates and integrates with the individual point applications using a RESTful XML API library.

Our independent point applications are written in several computing languages, including Flex, Cold Fusion, C, C++, C#, and TCL, among
others. We design these applications to run in conjunction with a number of different commercial database servers, including mySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. Lyris and EmailLabs platforms are designed to handle hundreds of
thousands of emails per hour, while emphasizing reliability, availability and security. These platforms automatically handle bounces due to invalid email addresses and track user activity after receipt of the emails, such as open detection,
clickthrough tracking and purchase tracking. The information gathered from user activities is digested into reports and can be used for initiating further email campaigns.

Our security systems control access to internal systems and data via the Internet. Internally, we maintain log-ins and passwords for all
systems, which grant access control on an individual basis to only the areas each individual is required to access. Firewalls prevent unauthorized access externally, as well as unauthorized access to confidential data internally. We combine certain
encryption and authentication technologies licensed from third parties with our own technologies to provide secure transmission of confidential information.

Research and Development

We believe that investment in research and development is a critical factor in strengthening our product offerings. Accordingly, we are
continually reinvesting resources in product development. We believe that to succeed in technology markets, we must have a broad focus on innovation with a long-term approach to new markets. Additionally, we are committed to supporting and updating
our core technology and to expanding our product offerings to provide a leading set of products that meet customer needs. As we continue to build out our services platform, we will bring a broad range of new products and service offerings to
market that target the needs of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as large enterprises.

Historically, we have
released major upgrades to our software products every 12 to 16 months. With our premier product, Lyris HQ,we have been implementing an Agile/SCRUM methodology for our releases which allows for shorter development cycles and faster releases.
As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately 71 engineers who are engaged in maintaining our current products and researching, developing, testing and deploying new versions of our software. We are investing resources for significant new research
and development to build out the Lyris HQ RIA(Rich Internet Application) and integrate and extend out our individual point applications backends. In addition to this work, we are constantly adding or enhancing features within our
existing applications. Our main research and development facilities are located in Emeryville and San Jose, California.

During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, research and development expenses were $3.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively. We plan to
continue to make significant investments in a broad range of research and product development efforts to further our product and service offerings.

Competition

General. We operate in extremely competitive technology markets. Many of our competitors have significantly greater
resources (financial, technical, marketing, human capital and other resources) than we do. In general, the barriers to entry in software and hosting markets are considered to be low. New competitors can and will enter the markets in which we
compete. We believe the following factors are important or may become important in the competition for customers:



| |  |  | Product feature set;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | Ease of use of the products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Ability to integrate with other applications that our customers use to interact with their customers such as Customer Relationship Management
(CRM), enterprise marketing management (EMM), Web analytics, Enterprise Resource Planning packages and consumer and business databases;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A competitors introduction of an integrated digital marketing software suite to compete directly with Lyris HQin performance and
scalability;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Price and total cost of ownership;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Stability and reliability;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Quality of customer service and support;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Brand name and reputation; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | Ability to provide services in a secure environment and maintain the confidentiality of customer data.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Integrated Software Suite. We are not currently aware of a competitor that is marketing an integrated suite of
digital marketing tools that include email, Web analytics, Search (pay-per-click, or PPC) Marketing and Web content management suitable for mid-size or larger companies. While some integration of these services is occurring among our competitors,
the integration of these services through custom software varies from application to application. However, we do believe that in the future other companies will develop and market integrated suites of digital marketing tools that could include the
full suite of integrated marketing tools that we offer and possibly additional digital marketing tools.

Email
Marketing Markets.The market for email marketing software and hosted email marketing services is fragmented and includes many participants. We have several types of competitors, some of whom offer an on-premise licensed
software solution, while others offer a hosted service.

At the higher end of the email marketing market, generally
referred to as enterprise, there are a number of large companies that compete by offering professional services with technology to help customize the applications for their customers needs, as well as digital marketing consulting services.
Additionally, some larger competitors provide some integration of services as part of their email marketing solutions. There are companies that include email marketing in an integrated offering such as CRM software vendors, EMM software vendors and
database marketers.

Our competitors also include many small, privately-held, companies that compete with us on the hosted
side, as well as in the SMB marketplace. Our larger competitors in this marketplace include Silverpop, Responsys and Exact Target, who typically offer only an email solution and not an integrated suite.

Finally, several of our competitors focus on providing email services to very small users who do not require either the volume or
functionality needed by larger or more sophisticated users. Although we do have many smaller customers, Constant Contact and Vertical Response are the larger providers to this market.

Web Analytics Market. In the Web analytics market, there are a number of large competitors and several well-funded
start-ups. Large companies who operate in this market include WebTrends, Omniture (owned by Adobe), CoreMetrics (owned by IBM), IndexTools (owned by Yahoo), and Google Analytics (owned by Google). Additionally, many smaller, privately held companies
compete in this space, including OneStat and Manticore Technology. The Web analytics market is among the most competitive of all technology markets.

Search (PPC) Marketing Market. In the Search Marketing market, often referred to as PPC marketing, there are a significant
number of competitors, particularly startups or small private companies such as Clickable, Acquisio, and Marin Software. In addition, most Web Analytics firms offer some level of Search Marketing capabilities in their products.

Web Content Management Market. In the Web content management market,
there are a number of very large competitors and several well-funded start-ups. Large companies who operate in this market include EMC (through its Documentum subsidiary), Interwoven, Silver Lake Software, Hummingbird, and Vignette
Software. Additionally, many smaller privately-held companies compete in this space, including CrownPeak, Clickability, Ektron, PaperThin, and FatWire.

We believe our products compete effectively with these vendors based on our strategy and our comprehensive on-demand marketing platform
that consolidates our full suite of digital marketing technologies into a single sign-on dashboard interface.

Intellectual Property

We have filed several patent applications. One application covers technology developed forEmailAdvisor, and four other
applications relate to technology and processes developed for ClickTracks. We were awarded a patent on ClickTracks technology that covers the display of statistical data overlaid on the website as well as the automatic parameter masking used to
define relevant page identifying URLs. This technology displays metrics about website visitors directly onto the site itself, allowing easy analysis and interpretation.

We enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our employees, consultants, and other third parties in order to try
to protect our trade secrets and intellectual property.

In recent years, many software companies have filed applications for
patents covering their technologies. Many of these patents have yet to be litigated. Other competitors may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology and may receive and enforce patents on such technology. We are not aware
of any issued or pending patents that may be asserted against us.

Employees

As of June 30, 2010, we had 272 employees. Our employees are not represented by any labor union and we are not aware of any current
activity to organize any of our employees.

Insurance

We currently purchase insurance policies to cover the ongoing liability and property risks arising out of our current operations.

Although we purchased professional liability tail coverage insurance for periods prior to the sales of our previous
healthcare businesses, the insurer, PHICO Insurance Company, has been declared insolvent and is no longer able to pay claims on our behalf (see Legal Proceedings).

U.S. and Foreign Government Regulation

Email has been the subject of regulation by local, state, federal and foreign governments. In 2003, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003
(CAN-SPAM) was enacted as United States federal law. CAN-SPAM established national standards for the sending of commercial email. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces its provisions.

CAN-SPAM defines spam as any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a
commercial product or service (including content on an Internet website operated for a commercial purpose). CAN-SPAM exempts transactional or relationship messages. The provision permits email marketers to send unsolicited
commercial email that contain, among other requirements, the following: an opt-out mechanism; a valid subject line and header (routing) information; and the legitimate physical address of the mailer.

Under CAN-SPAM, if a recipient of permitted email marketing opts out, a sender has ten days to remove the address. The legislation also
prohibits the sale or other transfer of an email address after an opt-out request. We believe strongly that emailers should send email only to those who have requested or given permission (twice) for email to be sent. We do not permit any of
our hosted customers to send spam, and our customer contracts require that our software purchasers and hosted customers comply with CAN-SPAM. Additionally, Lyris sells an anti-spam solution, calledMailShield.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The following section
describes risks and uncertainties that we believe may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. This Annual Report is qualified in its entirety by these
risks. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this report. The market price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties, or for other reasons, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our business is substantially dependent on the market for email marketing.

More than 90% of our revenue comes from email marketing: from the licensing of software, the sale of support and maintenance contracts
related to our software, and from the sale of hosted services. The markets for digital marketing, including email marketing, Web analytics, marketing content management and related services are relatively new and still evolving. There can
be no certainty regarding how or whether these markets will develop, or whether they will experience any contractions.

Seasonal trends
may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The traditional direct marketing industry has typically generated lower revenues during the summer months and higher revenues during the
calendar year-end months. We believe our business is also affected by similar revenue fluctuations, but our limited operating history and the impact of our acquisitions and the integration of those acquisitions make it difficult to predict the
magnitude of these effects. Because we may experience these effects, investors (and, possibly, securities analysts) may base their decisions using financial results affected by seasonal fluctuation, which may lead to inaccurate expectations. As a
result, our stock price could decline.

Our results depend on consumer use of email and the Internet, and the acceptance of online
direct marketing as a means to attract and retain new customers.

Our current and planned services enable customers to
use email, SMS and the Internet to increase revenue and traffic from, and communication with, their online audiences, customers and members. Our ability to serve these customers therefore depends on their audiences continuing to use email, SMS and
the Internet as communications media. If consumer adoption of either technology declines, demand for our services may not develop or may decline.

Moreover, our services are relatively new, rapidly evolving, and are very different from the traditional methods that many of our
customers have historically used to attract new customers and maintain customer relationships. As a result, customers and potential customers may be reluctant to try new technologies and new solutions, and the demand for our services may not
develop or may decline, which could cause our stock price to decline.

##### Table of Contents

If we fail to market new features and migrate customers to new versions of our system, our products
and services may become obsolete or less competitive.

The development of proprietary technology (e.g., Lyris
HQ), service enhancements and the migration of customers to new technology entail significant technical and business risks and require substantial expenditures and lead-time. We might not be successful in marketing and supporting recently
released versions of our technology and services on a timely or cost-effective basis. In addition, even if we develop and release new technology and services, they might not achieve market acceptance, and if we are unable to recover the costs
associated with the research and development activities, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Also, if we are not successful in a smooth migration of customers to new or enhanced technology and
services, we could lose customers or fail to maximize profits resulting from customers who continue to use older products [or services] rather than our newest offerings.

System failures could reduce the attractiveness of our service offerings.

We provide email marketing and delivery services to our customers and end-users through our proprietary technology and client management
systems. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of the technology and the underlying network infrastructure are critical to our operations, level of client service, reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. We have
experienced periodic interruptions, affecting all or a portion of our systems, which we believe will continue to occur from time to time. Any systems damage or interruption that impairs our ability to accept and fill client orders could result in an
immediate loss of revenue to us, and could cause some customers to purchase services offered by our competitors. In addition, frequent systems failures could harm our reputation. Some factors that could lead to interruptions in customer service
include: operator negligence; improper operation by, or supervision of, employees; physical and electronic break-ins; misappropriation; computer viruses and similar events; power loss; computer systems failures; and Internet and
telecommunications failures. We do not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to fully compensate us for losses that may occur.

The growth of the email marketing market depends on the continued growth and effectiveness of anti-spam products.

Adoption of email as a communications medium depends on the ability to prevent junk mail, or spam, from overwhelming a
subscribers electronic mailbox. In recent years, many companies have evolved to address this issue and filter unwanted messages before they reach customers mailboxes. In response, spammers have become more sophisticated and
have also begun using junk messages as a means for fraud. Email protection companies in turn have evolved to address this new threat. However, if their products fail to be effective against spam, adoption of email as a communications tool
may decline, which would adversely affect the market for our services.

The online direct marketing industry is highly competitive, and
if we are unable to compete effectively, the demand for, or the prices of, our services may decline.

The market for
online direct marketing is highly competitive and is experiencing rapid technological change. Intense competition may result in price reductions, reduced sales, reduced gross margins and operating margins, and loss of market share. Our principal
competitors include providers of online direct marketing solutions such as Responsys, EmailVision, Experian, Silverpop, Bigfoot Interactive, Exact Target, Constant Contact and InfoUSA; Web analytics providers such as Omniture (owned by Adobe),
Coremetrics (owned by IBM); and search engine marketing providers such as Acquisio, Clickable, and Marin Software. The loss of a client due to service quality or technology problems could result in reputational harm to us and, as a result, increase
the effect of competition and negatively affect our ability to attract new customers.

Many of these potential competitors
have broad distribution channels and may bundle complementary products or services. Such bundled products include, but are not limited to, Web analytics, data mining, customer relationship management (CRM) systems and professional services. If
we are not able to bundle complementary services or continue to expand our distribution capabilities, current and potential customers may choose to work with our competitors and our results may suffer.

In addition, we expect competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm our ability to increase sales and maintain
our prices. In the future, we may experience competition from Internet service providers, advertising and direct marketing agencies and other large established businesses possessing large, existing customer bases, substantial financial resources and
established distribution channels. These businesses could develop, market or resell a number of online direct marketing solutions. These potential competitors may also choose to enter, or have already entered, the market for online direct
marketing by acquiring one of our existing competitors or by forming strategic alliances with a competitor. As a result of future competition, the demand for our services could substantially decline. Any of these occurrences could harm our ability
to compete effectively.

##### Table of Contents

We face significant threats from new entrants to our business.

Barriers to entry in software markets generally, and the online direct marketing industry in particular, are low. Privately-backed
and public companies could choose to enter our market and compete directly with us, or compete indirectly by offering substitute solutions. This could result in decreased demand or pricing for our services, longer sales cycles, or a requirement to
make significant incremental investments in research and development to match these entrants new technologies, which could in turn cause us to suffer a decline in revenues and profitability.

We may need to raise additional capital to achieve our business objectives, which could result in dilution to existing investors or increase our
debt obligations.

Our capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our
products, the ability to expand our client base and the growth of sales and marketing. We have a current account deficit. There is no certainty that we will be able to raise additional equity or other capital, or that the terms on which
such capital may be raised will be favorable to us. The terms of any new capital may be superior to, or dilutive to, the existing common shareholders. Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, and the trading volume is low. This may
limit our ability to raise funds in the public markets.

We may not be able to obtain funding, obtain funding on acceptable terms or
obtain funding under our current credit facility because of the deterioration of the credit and capital markets. This may hinder or prevent us from meeting our future capital needs and may inhibit our ability to grow.

Global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, disrupted and volatile, making it difficult for us to
obtain funding on advantageous terms.

We borrowed money to purchase EmailLabs and Hot Banana. Our agreement with Comerica
Bank, our senior lender, places certain restrictions on us, including restrictions on our total borrowings, our debt to EBITDA, certain minimum monthly thresholds our EBITDA must exceed, liquidity requirements that our cash balance must meet and our
ability to buy additional businesses, among other restrictions. We cannot be certain that we will continue to be in compliance with these requirements. Our failure to meet the financial covenants under existing agreements, would constitute an event
of default. If funding is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they come due or be required to post collateral to support our obligations, or we may be unable to implement
our business development plans, enhance our existing business, complete acquisitions or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures any of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and
results of operations.

We have acquired a number of our operating businesses since May 2005, and we may continue to expand through
acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies or through business relationships, all of which may divert our managements attention, resulting in additional dilution to our stockholders and consumption of resources that are necessary to
sustain our business.

One of our business strategies is to acquire competing or complementary services, technologies
or businesses. We also may enter into relationships with other businesses in order to introduce new, and/or expand our existing product and service offerings, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution
or discount pricing or investments in other companies.

Our completed acquisitions and any future acquisition, investment or
business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the acquired businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired
companies, and such challenges may be compounded if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us and management and ownership changes negatively affect customer retention. Acquisitions may also disrupt our ongoing business,
divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will recognize the anticipated benefits of, or that we would not be
exposed to unknown liabilities as a result of, any acquisition, investment or business relationship. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete any acquisitions on favorable terms or at all. In connection with one or more of those
transactions, we may:



| |  |  | issue additional equity securities that would dilute our stockholders percentage of ownership;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur large charges or substantial liabilities;

| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have not realized expected benefits from our acquisitions and we may not realize expected benefits from future acquisitions.

While we expect our acquisitions to result in additional net revenues for us, we cannot guarantee that will be the case. With respect
to the integration of personnel, despite our efforts to retain the key employees of acquired businesses, we may not be successful, as competition for qualified management and technical employees in our industry is intense. We may also be
perceived to have a different corporate culture and, to the extent that our acquisition targets are small privately-held companies, the key employees of the acquired companies might not want to work for a larger, publicly-traded company such as
Lyris. In addition, competitors may recruit these key employees. As a result, these key employees could leave with little or no prior notice, which could impede the integration process, limit or eliminate the anticipated benefits of an
acquisition, and harm our business, financial condition and operating results. In connection with these acquisitions, certain key employees have entered into employment agreements or consulting and non-competition agreements that will restrict
their ability to compete with us if they leave or at the conclusion of their consulting term. We cannot assure you of the enforceability of these non-competition agreements or that these employees or consultants will continue to work with us under
their employment or consulting agreements. We have already seen significant decreases in revenue and profitability due to the fact that neither ClickTracks nor Hot Banana has generated the revenues anticipated at the time we acquired those
companies.

If we fail to respond to rapidly changing technology or evolving industry standards, our products and services may become
obsolete or less competitive.

Rapid technological advances, changes in client requirements, changes in protocols and
evolving industry standards characterize the market for our products and services. If we are unable to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our existing products and services, or develop entirely new products and services, our
products and services may become obsolete, less marketable or less competitive, and our business may be harmed. The ability to add new enhancements, new features and new services depends on several factors, including having sufficient
financial, technical and human resources, management focus on these efforts and the ability to complete such work in a timely and cost-effective manner. Failure to produce timely new features in response to or anticipation of customer demands
will significantly impair our ability to retain existing revenue and earn new revenue.

Changes in technology may also affect
consumer preferences, business environment and market share. We may not accurately predict customer or business partner behavior and may not recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors, and, therefore,
we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts.

Qualifying and supporting our products on multiple computer platforms is time
consuming and expensive.

We devote time and resources to qualify and support our software products on specific
computer platforms, such as Microsoft operating systems. The pace at which existing platforms are being modified and new platforms are being adopted has increased rapidly over time. To the extent that existing platforms are modified or
upgraded, or customers adopt new platforms, we could be required to expend additional engineering time and resources to qualify and support our products on such modified or new platforms, or we could lose customers to competitors who respond more
quickly to platform changes, which could add significantly to our development expenses, decrease our revenues and adversely affect our operating results.

The majority of our hosted services are sold pursuant to short-term subscription agreements, and if
our customers elect not to renew these agreements, our revenues may decrease.

Typically, our hosted services are sold
pursuant to short-term subscription agreements, which are generally one year in length, with no obligation to renew these agreements. Our renewal rates may decline due to a variety of factors, including the services and prices offered by our
competitors, new technologies offered by others, consolidation in our customer base or cessation of operations of some of our customers. If our renewal rates are low or decline for any reason, or if customers renew on less favorable terms, our
revenues may decrease, which could adversely affect our stock price.

Defects in our products could diminish demand for our products and
services and cause us to lose customers.

Because our products and services are complex, they may have errors or
defects that users identify after they begin using them, which could harm our reputation and business. In particular, our anti-spam products may identify some legitimate emails as unwanted or unsolicited spam, or we may not be able to filter
out a sufficiently high percentage of unsolicited or unwanted messages sent to the email accounts of customers, which could result in customers dissatisfaction. Complex software products like ours frequently contain undetected errors when
first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Failure to achieve acceptance could results in a delay in, or inability to receive payment. In addition, we may be unable to respond in a prompt manner, or at all, to new
methods of attacking a messaging system, such as new spamming techniques, which could result in increased service and warranty costs and related litigation expenses, and potential liability to third parties, any of which could harm our business. We
have from time to time found defects in our products, and we may detect errors in existing products in the future. Any such errors, defects or other performance problems could affect the perceived reliability of our products and services and
damage our reputation. If that occurs, customers could elect not to renew or terminate their subscriptions and we could lose potential future sales.

If the delivery of our email messages is limited or blocked, then the amount we may be able to charge customers for producing and sending their
campaigns may be reduced and customers may discontinue their use of our services.

Internet service providers are able
to block messages from reaching their users. Recent releases of Internet service provider software and the implementation of stringent new policies by Internet service providers make it more difficult to deliver emails on behalf of customers. We
continually improve our own technology and work with Internet service providers to improve our ability to successfully deliver emails. However, if Internet service providers materially limit or halt the delivery of our emails, or if we fail to
deliver emails in such a way as to be compatible with these companies email handling or authentication technologies, then the amount we may be able to charge customers for producing and sending their online direct marketing campaigns may be
reduced and /or customers may discontinue their use of our services. In addition, the effectiveness of email marketing may decrease as a result of increased customer resistance to email marketing in general.

Our facilities and systems are vulnerable to natural disasters and other unexpected events and any of these events could result in an interruption
of our ability to execute customers online direct marketing campaigns.

We depend on the efficient and
uninterrupted operations of our data centers and hardware systems. Our data centers and hardware systems are located in California, an area susceptible to earthquakes. Our data centers and hardware systems are also vulnerable to damage from fire,
floods, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. If any of these events results in damage to our data centers or systems, we may be unable to execute customers hosted online direct marketing campaigns until the damage is
repaired, and may accordingly lose customers and revenues. In addition, subject to applicable insurance coverage, we may incur substantial costs in repairing any damage.

A rapid expansion of our network and systems could cause our network or systems to fail or cause our network to lose data.

In the future, we may need to expand our network and systems at a more rapid pace than we have in the past. We may suddenly require
additional bandwidth for which we have not adequately planned. We may secure an extremely large customer or group of customers, or experience demands for growth by an existing customer or set of customers that would require significant system
resources. Our network or systems may not be capable of meeting the demand for increased capacity, or we may incur additional unanticipated expenses to accommodate such capacity constraints. In addition, we may lose valuable data or our network may
temporarily shut down if we fail to expand our network to meet future requirements. Any disruption in our network processing or loss of data may damage our reputation and result in the loss of customers.

If we are unable to safeguard the confidential information in our data warehouse, our
reputation may be harmed and we may be exposed to liability.

We currently store confidential customer
information in a secure data warehouse owned by a third party. We cannot be certain, however, that we will be able to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access to this data warehouse. If any compromise or breach of security were to occur,
it could harm our reputation and expose us to possible liability. Any unauthorized access to our servers could result in the misappropriation of confidential customer information or cause interruptions in our services. It is also possible that one
of our employees could attempt to misuse confidential customer information, exposing us to liability. In addition, our reputation may be harmed if we lose customer information maintained in our data warehouse due to systems interruptions or other
reasons.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property or gain access to third party intellectual property necessary to the
operation of our business.

Unlicensed copying and use of our intellectual property or illegal infringements of our
intellectual property rights represent losses of revenue to us. Our products and services include internally developed technology and intellectual property, which we protect through a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark
law, as well as contractual obligations. Because these measures only provide limited protection, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights. Unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain and use our intellectual property without
authorization. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary information is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation. Further, effective patent, copyright, trade secrets and trademark law may not
be available in every country in which our products and services are offered, marketed, distributed, sold or used.

We are one
of several companies rapidly building new technologies in this industry. Our competitors may develop similar technology independently and design products and services that address this market. It is possible that a third party could be awarded
a patent that applies to some portion of our business. If this occurs, we may be required to incur substantial legal fees, cease using the technology or pay significant licensing fees for such use.

If a third party asserts that we are infringing our intellectual property, whether successful or not, it could subject us to costly and
time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses, and our business may be adversely affected.

The software and Internet
industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Third parties may assert
patent and other intellectual property infringement claims against us in the form of lawsuits, letters or other forms of communication. These events could be costly, could divert technical resources and management time, and could potentially result
in the invalidation of our intellectual property. Unfavorable litigation outcomes may subject us to substantial damage claims, cause product enhancement delays, and/or require us to cease development of certain products, terminate the use of certain
technology, develop alternative technology and/or enter into license agreements to continue using certain technology. Such licensing agreements might not be available on terms we find acceptable or at all and could harm our business. Existing
lawsuits against others in this industry, as well as any future assertions or prosecutions of claims like these, could also result in an unfavorable outcome for us, potentially leading to proprietary rights infringements claims against us.

From time to time, we may be named as a defendant in lawsuits claiming that we have, in some way, violated the intellectual
property rights of others. Because currently pending patent applications are not publicly available for certain periods of time, we cannot anticipate all such claims or know with certainty whether our technology infringes the intellectual property
rights of third parties. As a general matter, we do not search patent office files for patents or patent applications that we may possibly infringe. We are aware of several patents for which patent infringement potentially may be asserted
against us.

As technology evolves and the number of competitors in our industry increases, we may face an increasing number
of third party claims related to potential patent infringement. In addition, many of our subscription agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnification requirements
would increase our costs in the event of an adverse ruling in potential infringement claims. Even if we have not infringed any third parties intellectual property rights, we cannot be sure our legal defenses will be successful, and even if we
are successful in defending against such claims, our legal defense could result in significant costs and diversion of company resources. As a result, any third-party intellectual property claims against us could adversely affect our results of
operations, projected growth and revenues.

Activities of customers could damage our reputation or give rise to legal claims against us.

Customers promotion of their products and services may not comply with federal, state and local laws. We cannot predict
whether our role in facilitating these marketing activities would expose us to liability under these laws. Any claims made against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend. If we are exposed to this kind of liability, we could be required to
pay fines or penalties, redesign business methods, discontinue some services or otherwise expend resources to avoid liability.

Our services involve the transmission of information through the Internet. These services could be used to transmit harmful applications,
negative messages, and unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted material, inaccurate data or computer viruses to end-users in the course of delivery. Any transmission of this kind could damage our reputation or could give rise to legal claims
against us. We could spend a significant amount of time and money defending against these types of potential legal claims.

U.S. federal
legislation entitled Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 imposes certain obligations on the senders of commercial emails that could minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing product, and establishes
financial penalties for non-compliance, which could increase the costs of our business.

In December 2003, Congress
enacted the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or the CAN-SPAM Act, which establishes certain requirements for commercial email messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email
messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content. The CAN-SPAM Act, among other things, obligates the sender of commercial emails to provide recipients with the ability to opt out of receiving future emails from the
sender. In addition, some states have passed laws regulating commercial email practices that are significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act, particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted do-not-email
registries listing minors who do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial email that markets certain covered content, such as adult or other harmful products. Some portions of these state laws may not be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act. The ability
of our customers constituents to opt out of receiving commercial emails may minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing products and services. Moreover, non-compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act carries significant financial penalties. If we
were found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, applicable state laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a result of violations by our customers or because we are deemed
to be directly subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be required to pay penalties, which could adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our business. Moreover, a finding of such a violation may require
us to change one or more aspects of the way we operate our business, which could impair our ability to attract and retain customers or increase our operating costs.

Our executive officers and other key personnel are critical to our business, and because there is significant competition for personnel in our
industry, it may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Our success depends on the continued
contributions of our executive management team, our technical, marketing, sales, customer support and product development personnel. The loss of key individuals or significant numbers of such personnel, or our failure to continue to attract or
retain such personnel in the future could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to
properly manage and sustain our expansion efforts could strain our management and other resources.

Our ability to
successfully offer services and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. We may try to rapidly and significantly expand the depth and breadth of our service offerings. Failure to
properly manage this expansion could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. To manage expansion, we are required to continually:



| |  |  | improve existing and implement new operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | install new management information systems; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | train, motivate, retain and manage our employees.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

We may be unable to install management information and control systems in an efficient and timely manner, and our current or planned
personnel, systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support our operations.

Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the
highly skilled employees we need to support our planned growth.

To continue to execute our growth plan, we must
attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing software and Internet-related services, and for direct sales personnel
with the advanced sales skills and technical knowledge we need. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate
qualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in the Internet and high-technology industries, job candidates often
consider the value of the stock options they are to receive in connection with their employment. Volatility in the price and low trading volume of our stock may, therefore, adversely affect our ability to attract or retain key employees.
Furthermore, the requirement to expense stock options may discourage us from granting the size or type of stock option awards that job candidates require in order to join us. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our
current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.

If we fail to develop our brands
cost-effectively, our business may be adversely affected.

We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of our
brands in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our current and future services and is an important element in attracting new customers. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of brand recognition will
increase as competition in our market develops. Successful promotion of our brands will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to provide reliable and useful services at competitive prices. Brand promotion
activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brands. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brands, or incur substantial expenses in an
unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brands, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business and results
of operations could suffer.

Widespread blocking or erasing of cookies or limitations on our ability to use cookies may impede our
ability to collect information with our technology and may reduce the value of the data that we do collect.

Our
technology currently uses cookies, which are small files of information placed on an Internet users computer, to collect information about the users visits to the websites of our customers. Third-party software and our own technology
make it easy for users to block or delete our cookies. Several software programs, sometimes marketed as ad-ware or spyware detectors, block our cookies by default or prompt users to delete or block our cookies. If a large proportion of users delete
or block our cookies, this could undermine the value of the data that we collect for our customers and could negatively impact our ability to deliver accurate reports to our customers, which would harm our business.

Changes in Web browsers may also encourage users to block cookies. Microsoft, for example, frequently modifies its Internet Explorer Web
browser. Some modifications by Microsoft could substantially impair our ability to use cookies for data collection purposes. If that happens and we are unable to adapt our technology and practices adequately in response to changes in
Microsofts technology, then the value of our services will be substantially impaired. Additionally, other technologies could be developed that impede the operation of our services. These developments could prevent us from providing our
services to our customers or reduce the value of our services.

In addition, laws regulating the use of cookies by us and our
customers could also prevent us from providing our services to our customers or require us to employ alternative technology. A European Union Directive-implemented by member countries requires us to tell users about cookies placed on their
computers, describe how we and our customers will use the information collected and offer users the right to refuse a cookie. Although no European country currently requires consent prior to delivery of a cookie, one or more European countries may
do so in the future. If we were required to obtain consent before delivering a cookie or if the use or effectiveness of cookies is limited, we would be required to switch to alternative technologies to collect user profile information, which may not
be done on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost or at all. Moreover, laws in the areas of privacy and behavioral tracking are likely to be passed in the future, which could result in significant limitations on or changes to the way in which we can
collect, use, store or transmit users personal information and deliver products and services.

Adverse global economic conditions may continue to decrease our customers activity levels and
spending for our products and services.

Current adverse global economic conditions have had, and may continue to have,
a negative impact on our customers. The tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, and extreme volatility of in fixed income, credit and equity markets may have negatively affected our customers
equity values, reduced their cash flow and/or limited their access to debt or equity financing, and therefore may result in a significant reduction in our customers spending for our products and services. To the extent our customers reduce
their capital expenditure budgets for the remainder of 2010 or beyond, this reduction in spending and decrease in demand for our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We were not profitable in fiscal year 2010 or 2009 and there can be no assurance that we will generate net income in subsequent periods.

We experienced net losses of $2.7 million and $19.0 million for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. There can be no
assurance that we will be cash flow positive or generate net income in fiscal year 2011 or future years.

Our operating
results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include:



| |  |  | fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products and services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | introduction of new products and services by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitive pressures that result in pricing fluctuations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | variations in the timing of orders for and delivery of our products and services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the mix of products and services that we sell and the resulting impact on our gross margins; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs associated with litigation and intellectual property claims.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

Our operating expenses are based on current expectations of our future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short term. Customer
purchasing behavior can be difficult to forecast, and if we have lower revenues than expected, we may not be able to quickly reduce our expenses in response. Consequently, our operating results for a particular period could be adversely
impacted, and this could in turn negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

An impairment loss could have a material
adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The continued global economic crisis, resulting
in, among other things, sharply lower demand for our offerings and disruption of capital and credit markets could significantly affect our market capitalization and result in an impairment loss. We did not recognize a goodwill impairment loss in
fiscal year 2010; however, in fiscal year 2009, we recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $17.0 million. It is possible that further decline of economic conditions would result in additional impairment loss that could have a material adverse
impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Exposure to risks associated with our international operations could
unfavorably affect our performance.

We derive revenues through our international operations. The success and
profitability of our international operations may be adversely affected by risks associated with international activities, including economic and labor conditions, tax laws and changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the local currencies in
which our foreign operations may be denominated. Specifically with currency risks, we do not currently utilize derivative instruments to hedge an exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies and our revenues may decrease as a result of such
fluctuations.

Our operating results are subject to volatility resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
including:



| |  |  | currency movements in which the U.S. dollar becomes stronger with respect to foreign currencies, thereby reducing relative demand for our products and
services outside the United States; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | currency movements in which a foreign currency in which we have incurred expenses becomes stronger in relation to the U.S. dollar, thereby raising our
expenses for the same level of operating activity.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our international operations expose us to additional risks, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | trade restrictions and duties, including tariffs, quotas, and other barriers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays resulting from difficulty in obtaining trade licenses for certain technology, foreign regulatory requirements, such as safety or radio frequency
emissions regulations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | liquidity problems in various foreign markets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainties and liabilities associated with foreign tax laws;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws, including more stringent consumer and data protection laws;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unexpected changes in, or impositions of, foreign legislative or regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in coordinating the activities of our geographically dispersed and culturally diverse operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in staffing, managing, and operating our international operations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential loss of proprietary information due to misappropriation or laws that may be less protective of our intellectual property rights than U.S.
law;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in diplomatic and trade relationships; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other factors beyond our control including terrorism, war, natural disasters and diseases, particularly in areas in which we have facilities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are subject to evolving and expensive corporate governance regulations and requirements. Our failure to adequately
meet such requirements could harm our business.

Because we are a publicly-traded company, we are subject to certain
federal, state and other rules and regulations, including those required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Compliance with these evolving regulations is costly and requires a significant amount of management time and attention, particularly with
regard to our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Although we have reviewed and continue to review our disclosure and internal controls and procedures for effectiveness, our controls and procedures
may not be able to prevent fraud or other errors. For example, in July 2010, we were late in filing a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the voting results of our annual shareholder meeting. Though we believe the effect of the late filing was not
material, a failure of our controls and procedures with respect to other issues could cause serious harm to our business.

Risks related to
Investment in our Common Stock

Our executive officers and directors beneficially own a significant amount of our common stock.

As of June 30, 2010, our executive officers and directors and entities affiliated with them beneficially own or
have options exercisable within 60 days to purchase, in the aggregate, approximately 55% of our common stock. The chairman of our board of directors (the Board), Mr. William T. Comfort, III, as controlling partner of LDN
Stuyvie Partnership, beneficially owns approximately 46% of our common stock. Mr. Comforts brother-in-law, James A. Urry, is also on our Board and beneficially owns approximately 6% of our common stock. These stockholders together have,
and Mr. Comfort himself has, the ability to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all
of our assets. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or impeding a merger or consolidation, takeover or other business combination.

There is a limited market for our common stock.

Our common stock is subject to a limited trading market on the OTC Bulletin Board, and an active trading market may not develop. Moreover,
sales of large blocks of stock may have a significantly greater negative impact because of the low trading volume. If a more active public market for our stock is not sustained, it may be difficult for stockholders to sell shares of our common
stock. Because we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they are able to sell them.

The transfer restrictions on our common stock may delay or prevent takeover bids by third parties and
may delay or frustrate any attempt by stockholders to replace or remove the current management.

The shares of common
stock issued by us in the merger with our former parent company, NAHC, Inc, are subject to transfer restrictions that, in general, prevent any individual stockholder or group of stockholders from acquiring in excess of 5% of our outstanding common
stock. The types of acquisition transactions that we may undertake will be limited unless our Board waives the transfer restrictions. The transfer restrictions also may make it more difficult for stockholders to replace current management because no
single stockholder may cast votes for more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock, unless that stockholder held more than 5% of our common stock before the merger or our Board specifically authorizes the acquisition of more than 5% of our
common stock.

We may not be able to realize the benefits of our Net Operating Loss carryforwards.

Our ability to use our potential tax benefits derived from our net operating loss carryforwards in future years will depend upon the
amount of our otherwise taxable income. If we generate insufficient taxable income in future years, the net operating losses will not be needed or used and therefore will provide no benefit to us. If we experience a change of ownership within the
meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will not be able to realize the benefit of our net operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us or changes in our management
and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock.

In addition to the provisions to protect our NOLs, our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock by acting to discourage, delay or prevent us from having a change of control or changes in our management that
our stockholders may deem advantageous. These provisions:



| |  |  | establish a classified board of directors so that not all members of our board are elected at one time;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide that directors may only be removed for cause and only with the approval of 66 2/3% of our stockholders;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | authorize the issuance of blank check preferred stock that our board of directors could issue to increase the number of outstanding shares
to discourage a takeover attempt;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal our bylaws; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our board or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at
stockholder meetings.

|------- | -----------------

From
time to time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims which are incidental to the ordinary course of business, including customer disputes, breach of contract claims, and other matters. Although the results of such litigation and
claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to
the inherent uncertainties of such litigation and claims, our view of such matters may change in the future.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

The
discussion and analysis below includes certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, as described in Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report, that could cause our actual growth,
results of operations, performance, financial position and business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from what is expressed in, or implied by, those forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis addresses our results of operations and financial condition; it should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.

General

Most of
our customers access our solutions through our software-as-a-service online offering, the balance purchase time-based licenses. On August 18, 2006, we acquired ClickTracks Analytics, Inc. (ClickTracks) and Hot Banana Software, Inc.,
(Hot Banana). ClickTracks was a Web analytics provider and Hot Banana was an e-marketing Web content management company, and both were merged into Lyris Technologies, Inc. in late 2007. We integrated Hot Banana, our Web content
management system, andClickTracks, our Web analytics solution, with our hosted EmailLabs email marketing offering, to create our Lyris HQoffering.

We continue to offer the following separate individual online marketing solutions: Lyris ListManager, our licensed software
product for email marketing; EmailLabs,our brand for hosted email marketing software; and EmailAdvisor,our deliverability monitoring tool. In addition, we continue to offer ClickTracks,our Web analytics product and
Lyris Hot Banana,our software that enables customers to manage content across their different Web properties.

Fiscal Year 2011
Outlook

We offer the first on-demand integrated marketing suite, Lyris HQand believe this has a strong correlation
to potential revenue growth in fiscal year 2011. However, at this time we are unable to project our revenue growth, and due to the current economic conditions, actual growth may not occur. We believe that our relative market position and our
innovative product solutions delivery plans position us well for growth. In addition, we remain focused on executing our key business initiatives and continue providing quality products at the lowest possible total cost of ownership while managing
our operating expenses.

On July 23, 2010, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with
SiteWit Corp. (SiteWit), a privately held company that provides an online marketing search engine to its customers. Pursuant to the Agreement, the we will acquire up to 30% of SiteWits capitalization on a fully diluted basis, based
upon the achievement of product development milestones through fiscal year 2011. We paid $500 thousand in cash at the signing of the Agreement, and will invest an additional $500 thousand upon the achievement of the milestones. As part of this
investment, we received the right to designate a board member of SiteWit. We also entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement with SiteWit regarding the development and marketing of other services.

On August 19, 2010, we issued a press release announcing that Luis A. Rivera had resigned from his positions as our President and
Chief Executive Officer and the Board had appointed Wolfgang Maasberg as our new President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board. The resignation and the appointment occurred on August 18, 2010. Mr. Rivera will continue
to serve as a member of the Board. Under the terms of Mr Riveras separation and release agreement, he was paid an amount equal to all wages, salary, bonuses, reimbursable expenses and, accrued vacation in the amount of $31 thousand at the date
of separation. In addition, Mr. Rivera was paid $375 thousand (1.5 times his base salary) in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. We repurchased 170,000 shares of common stock from Mr. Rivera at the then market price of
$0.33 for a total payment of $56 thousand. We also amended the Mr. Riveras stock option agreement to extend the period in which he may exercise unexercised vested shares from ninety (90) days to one year following the date of his
resignation.

Financial Summary

Our financial results during fiscal year 2010 were impacted by the following significant items:



| |  |  | 4% increase in subscription revenue reflects continued hosted revenue growth driven by our Lyris HQ offering.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 27% decrease in software sales resulting from continued lower sales volume compared to fiscal year 2009 due to changes in our business model beginning
in 2008 where we shifted focus to invest our resources to expand our premier offering, Lyris HQ.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 10% increase in cost of revenue resulted from the addition of a new co-location data center and other hosting infrastructure improvements to enhance
product delivery and increase hosting service capacity.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 2% decrease in operating expenses (excluding goodwill impairment) was primarily due to our continued focus on cost reduction initiatives.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 41% decrease in interest expense as a result of a lower average outstanding debt balance.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we modified our operating allocation methodology and retroactively reclassified previous year amounts
for comparability purposes. This operating expense allocation methodology modification was based on business judgment and planning needs to improve financial reporting. We allocate overhead such as rent, insurance cost, employee related costs,
utilities and property taxes based on headcount. This reclassification did not have any impact on our consolidated net loss or earnings per share. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subscription and Services Revenue

Total subscription and services revenue increased approximately by $2.0 million or 5% in fiscal year 2010, compared with fiscal year 2009
due to continued demand for Lyris HQ despite the difficult economic environment. Our professional services revenue increased by $1.6 million in fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year with our enhanced full service offering. This increase was
offset by a $0.9 million decrease in maintenance and support revenue resulting from a reduction in perpetual license sales.

Software
Revenue

Software revenue declined by $1.0 million, a 27% decrease in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009,
due to our continued transition of customers from a perpetual software license to a hosted subscription software application.

Cost of
Revenue

Cost of revenue includes expenses primarily related to engineering employee salaries and related costs,
support and hosting of our services, data center costs, amortization of developed technology, depreciation of computer equipment, website development costs, credit card fees and overhead allocated costs.

Cost of
revenue increased by $1.9 million, a 10% increase in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 primarily due to an increase in employee related expenses which partially resulted from an increase in headcount. We increased our engineering
resources to continue our buildout of Lyris HQ and expanded internationally throughout the year. Additionally, our hosting facility costs increased in fiscal year 2010 when we began amortizing capitalized product development costs and added
of our new co-location data center located in Milpitas, CA. Other hosting infrastructure costs also increased as we enhanced product delivery and increased capacity. We also experienced an increase in other operational expenses related to the
processing of customer transactions.

decreased by $0.9 million or 4% in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009. Gross profit decreased primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue resulting from an increase in employee related cost, hosting costs and other operational costs
to enhance product delivery and increase capacity.

General and administrative

General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits for administrative personnel, professional services
such as consultants, legal fees, and accounting, audit and tax fees, and related allocation of overhead including stock-based compensation and other corporate development costs.

General and administrative expense increased by approximately $0.6 million or 10% in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009
primarily due an increase in bad debt expense resulting from the recessionary market conditions throughout fiscal year 2010 and other various operational costs which increased during the year. These cost increases were partially offset by decreases
in outsourced services such as accounting and legal services which reflected cost reduction efforts that continued from fiscal year 2009.

Research and development

Research and development expense consists of payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation and other headcount-related expenses
associated with product development.

Research and development expense decreased by $0.3 million or 9% in fiscal year 2010
compared to fiscal year 2009 primarily due to our capitalization of product development costs. During fiscal year 2010, we capitalized $1.3 million in development costs incurred in connection with the product enhancements made during the year. This
expense decrease was partially offset by an overall increase in employee related costs resulting from an increase in employee headcount to develop more robust products.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expense consists of payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, and other headcount-related expenses
associated with advertising, promotions, trade shows, seminars, and other marketing programs.

Sales and marketing expense
decreased by $1.0 million or 7% in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 primarily due to reduced employee related expenses. We experienced employee turnover in sales and marketing at the senior management and lower levels which resulted in
a decrease in employee related cost. Overall, our fiscal year 2010 product marketing program costs remained about same as fiscal year 2009 even though we changed our marketing medium for promoting our products.

Amortization of customer relationships and trade names

Amortization of customer relationships and trade names increased as result of additional amortization expense associated with an increase
in intangible assets subject to amortization. At the end of fiscal year 2009, we changed the estimated useful lives of some intangible assets from indefinite to a definite life of approximately three years. This change resulted in additional
amortization expense in fiscal year 2010. Additionally, we recognized a full year of amortization expense associated with intangible assets recorded with the acquisition of Facultas as compared to a couple months of amortization expense in fiscal
year 2009 when the company was acquired.

Impairment of goodwill

We performed our annual impairment testing of goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and determined that our goodwill was
impaired. As a result, we recorded a $17.0 million noncash impairment charge in fiscal year 2009. In fiscal 2010, our goodwill impairment test results indicated that the fair value of our goodwill exceeded the carrying value; therefore no impairment
charge was recorded in fiscal year 2010.

Interest
expense decreased approximately by $0.2 million or 41% in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009. The decrease was result of a lower average debt outstanding in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rates in fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were (20.9)% and 0.3%, respectively. The fluctuation in effective tax rates from
fiscal year 2009 to 2010 resulted primarily from our $17.0 million goodwill impairment charge in fiscal year 2009. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, we incurred income tax expense of $474 thousand. For fiscal year 2009, we recognized
an income tax benefit of approximately $45 thousand.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents

Our primary sources of cash during 2010 were cash received from the collection of accounts receivable balances generated from sales, cash
available under a line of credit from Comerica bank and $6.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of stock through a private placement. We used a significant portion of the private placement proceeds to repay our outstanding term loan with
Comerica bank. As of June 30, 2010, our cash equivalents totaled $492 thousand compared to $619 thousand at fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash flows provided by operations decreased by $1.5 million primarily due to the change in accounts receivable which resulted from an
increase in the outstanding accounts receivable balance during the year ended June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities was positively affected by the change in the accounts payable balance which increased due to the timing of
payments.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing increased by $1.8 million primarily due to the capitalization of $1.3 million in software development costs.
During fiscal year 2009, we achieved certain product development milestones which resulted in the capitalization of the related development costs. Additionally in fiscal year 2010, we invested $0.3 million in various complementary businesses and
increased capital expenditures slightly by $0.4 million to enhance our operational systems.

##### Table of Contents

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing decreased by $2.6 million primarily due to our receipt of $6.0 million in proceeds from the sale of common
stock. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we received proceeds of $6.0 million from the issuance of 18.2 million shares of our common stock through a private placement with a related party. A significant portion of the proceeds was used
to repay our $3.4 million outstanding term loan balance as of May 2010.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents,
and anticipated cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next year. We anticipate that we will continue to improve our cash flow from operations and continue
building our cash reserves. We expect we will maintain long-term growth in our hosted revenue offerings, particularly with our product, Lyris HQ,and increased efficiency within our operating expenses to generate available cash to satisfy our
capital needs and debt obligations. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash from operations, are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt
financing. We will likely enter into agreements or letters of intent with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, applications or technologies in the future, which could also require us to seek additional
equity or debt financing. For example, on July 23, 2010, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with SiteWit Corp., a privately held company that provides an online marketing search engine to its customers, and paid $500 thousand to Site
Wit upon closing the deal. In connection with this agreement, we will invest an additional $500 thousand in SiteWit upon the achievement of certain milestones which are expected to be achieved in fiscal year 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2010, we have $240 thousand in irrevocable letter of credits (LOC) issued by Comerica Bank, consisting of
a $200 thousand LOC in favor of the Hartford Insurance Company (the Hartford), and a $40 thousand LOC in favor of Legacy Partners I SJ North Second, LLC.

The Hartford LOC is held by the Hartford as collateral for deductible payments that may be due under a workers compensation
insurance policy. Under the terms of the Hartford LOC, any amount drawn down by the Hartford on this LOC would be added to our existing debt as part of our line of credit with Comerica. The Hartford LOC expires on September 1, 2010, and will
automatically renew annually unless we are notified by Comerica 30 days prior to the annual expiration date that they have chosen not to extend the Hartford LOC for the next year. As of the date of this report, there have been no draw downs on this
LOC by the Hartford.

The Legacy Partners I SJ North Second, LLC, LOC is in connection with our office lease dated
January 31, 2008, for our office in San Jose, California.

Revolving Line of Credit

On May 6, 2010, we entered into a Fifth Amendment (the Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
with Comerica Bank (the Bank). The Amendment revises the terms of any previously amended and restated loan and security agreements entered into between the Bank and us.

##### Table of Contents

The Amendment consolidates our existing revolving line of credit and term loan into a single
revolving line of credit of $5.0 million with a maturity date of April 30, 2012. In connection with the Amendment we repaid in full the $3.4 million term loan that had previously been outstanding under the previous agreement. Borrowings under
the line of credit are secured by our assets. Without prior bank approval, our line of credit under the Amendment is limited to $1.5 million to be used for joint ventures or acquisitions, and we cannot become subject to more than $1.0 million of
permitted liens in connection with equipment purchases. As of June 30, 2010, we had no outstanding balance under this revolving line of credit.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which requires
management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect our reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We believe the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our consolidated financial
statements are appropriate. However, should our actual experience differ from these assumptions and other considerations used in estimating these amounts, the impact of these differences could have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include, but are not limited to the following:



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



| |  |  | deferred revenue;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | valuation allowance and reserves;

| |  |  | accounting for goodwill, long-lived assets and other intangible assets; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | accounting for income taxes.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from providing hosting and professional services and licensing our software products to our customers.

We generally recognize revenue 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 (for software licenses, revenue is recognized when the customer is given electronic access to the licensed software); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed
or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable.

Subscription and Other Services Revenue

We generate services revenue from several sources, including hosted software for use by customers (subscription
revenue), professional consulting services and technical support (maintenance) services. We recognize subscription revenue monthly based on the usage defined in the agreement. We record amounts that have been invoiced in accounts receivable and
recognized in revenue or deferred revenue depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Thus, we bill excess usage and recognize it as revenue when incurred.

We account separately for professional services sold with our hosted software arrangements when these services have value to the customer
on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value for each deliverable. When accounted for separately, we recognize professional services revenue as the services are performed. If professional services do not qualify
for separate accounting, we recognize revenue ratably over the remaining term of the hosted software arrangement.

We defer
technical support (maintenance) revenue, including revenue that is part of a multiple element arrangement, and recognize it ratably over the term of the agreement, which is generally one year.

Software Revenue

We entered into certain revenue arrangements for which we are obligated to deliver multiple products and/or services (multiple
elements). For these arrangements, which generally include software products, support and professional services, we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered elements based on their vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value
(VSOE). We have established VSOE (delivered and undelivered) for the majority of our elements. We allocate total earned revenue under the agreement among the various elements based on their relative fair value. In the event that VSOE
does not exist for all elements, we use the residual method to determine how much revenue for the delivered elements (software licenses) is recognized upon delivery by assigning VSOE to other elements in multiple element arrangements.

We determine VSOE based on actual prices charged for standalone sales of maintenance. To accomplish this, we track sales for the
maintenance product when sold on a standalone basis for a one year term and compare it to sales of the associated licensed software product.

We perform a quarterly analysis of the actual sales for standalone maintenance and licensed software to establish the percentage of sales
relationships for each level of maintenance and licensed software. The result of this analysis has historically been a tight range of percentage of sales relationships centered on a mid-point. Renewal rates, expressed as a consistent percentage of
the license fee at each level, represent VSOE of fair value for the maintenance element of the arrangements.

We recognize
revenue from our professional services at the time of delivery of the service. We established professional services VSOE based on the use of a consistent rate per hour when similar services are sold separately on a time-and-material basis. In cases
where VSOE has not been established, we defer the full value of the arrangement and recognize it ratably over the term of the agreement.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents customer billings made in advance for annual support or hosting contracts, professional consulting services to
be delivered in the future, and bulk purchases of emails to be delivered in the future. We typically bill maintenance on a per annum basis in advance for software and recognize the revenue ratably over the maintenance period. Some hosted
contracts are prepaid for monthly, quarterly or annually and recognized monthly after the service has been provided. Bulk purchases are typically billed in advance, ranging from monthly to annually, and we recognize the revenue in the periods in
which emails are delivered.

Valuation Allowances and Reserves

We record trade accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible
accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, we changed the method of estimating our allowance for doubtful accounts by using the aged
receivable and specific-identification methods. During the monthly accounts receivable analysis, we apply the aged receivable method by categorizing each customers balance by the number of days or months the underlying invoices have
remained outstanding. Based on historical collection experience, changes in our customer payment history and a review of the current status of a customers trade accounts receivable, historical bad debts percentages are applied to each of
these aggregate amounts, with larger percentages being applied to the older accounts. The computed total dollar amount is compared to the balance in the valuation account, and an adjustment is made for the difference. On a quarterly basis, we
use the specific-identification method by categorizing each customers balance based on all outstanding receivables greater than 90 days in the following uncollectible categories: (1) receivables sent to collection agency;
(2) receivables under legal determination; and (3) receivables in higher collection risk. Consequently, our quarterly allowance for doubtful accounts adjustment is determined by comparing the difference of the total of the
uncollectible amounts as identified from the uncollectible categories with the pre-adjusted allowance provision.

Accounts
receivable is presented in our consolidated balance sheet, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $768 thousand and $899 thousand at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. During fiscal year 2010, bad debt expense was
approximately $1.2 million which is consistent with fiscal year 2009.

Loss Contingencies and Commitments

We record an estimated loss contingency when information is available that indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been
incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We disclose if the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but
cannot be estimated, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they arise from guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Determining
the likelihood of incurring a liability and estimating the amount of the liability involves an exercise of judgment. If the litigation results in an outcome that has greater adverse consequences to us than management currently expects, then we may
have to record additional charges in the future. As of June 30, 2010, there were no probable material losses incurred that could be reasonably estimated.

Our commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for corporate office space, co-location facilities for data center capacity
for research and test data centers, software contracts used in our production environment and capital leases. See Long-term Contractual Obligations table above.

Goodwill, Long-lived Assets and Other Intangible Assets

We classify our intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization;
(2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill.

Periodically, we
evaluate our fixed assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group (in use or under development) is evaluated and found not to be recoverable (carrying amount exceeds the gross,
undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition), then an impairment loss must be recognized. The impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the assets or asset groups fair value. In addition, the potential
impairment of finite life intangibles is assessed whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

We conduct a test for the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis. We adopted
June 30thas the date of the annual impairment test.
The impairment test first compares the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill, to assess whether impairment is present. The fair values calculated in our impairment test are determined using two methods: quoted
market price and a discounted cash flow valuation model. The discounted cash flow model involves several assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, anticipated operating income growth rates, our long-term anticipated operating
income growth rate, and the discount rate (including a specific reporting unit risk premium). The assumptions used are based upon what we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating fair value. Based on our most recent
assessment test, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds our carrying value, and therefore we do not have impairment as of June 30, 2010. We will assess the impairment of goodwill annually on
June 30thor sooner if indicators of impairment
arise.

Capitalized Software Costs

Software licensing. We expense internal costs incurred in researching and developing computer software products designed for sale
or licensing until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, applicable development software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to
customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. We determined that technological feasibility is established when we have completed all necessary planning and designing and after we have
resolved all high-risk development issues through coding and testing. Moreover, these activities are necessary to establish that the product can meet our design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. We
discontinue capitalization when the product is available for general release to customers.

SaaS software costs. We
capitalize the direct costs associated with the software we develop for use in providing software-as-a-service to our customers during its application development stage. The types of activities performed during the application development stage
create probable future economic benefits. Once the software is available for use in providing services to customers, we amortize the capitalized amount over three years with the amortization charged to cost of revenues. We expense activities
performed during the preliminary project stage which are analogous to research and development activities. In addition, we expense the types of activities performed during the post-implementation / operation stage. These activities are likely
to include release ready and release launch activities.

Total capitalized hosting software costs were approximately $1.3
million and $193 thousand during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. No hosting software costs were capitalized in fiscal year 2008. Capitalized hosting software costs primarily consist of employee-related costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

We amortize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite
vesting period as defined in the applicable plan documents which is typically four years. We determine the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model utilizes the expected volatility, the term which the
option is expected to be outstanding and the risk free interest rate to calculate the fair value of an option.

Due to the
global economic downturn, on July 9, 2009, our Compensation Committee modified the exercise price of 3,429,499 outstanding stock option awards granted to 178 employees, including executives, by exchanging each employee stock option with an
exercise price greater than $0.50 for a stock option with a $0.50 exercise price on a one share-to-one share basis. The other terms of the stock option awards such as the commencement date and vesting schedule remained unchanged. We used the
binomial lattice pricing model to determine the fair value of the repriced options. Total additional stock-based compensation expense associated with the modification was $99 thousand of which $69 thousand was recognized in fiscal year 2010.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applicable to taxable income in
the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income
tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their
characteristics.

We establish a valuation allowance if we believe that it is more likely than not that some or all of our
deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we determine that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained upon external examination, such as an audit by a taxing authority. The amount of the
benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Lyris, Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lyris, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lyris, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

NOTES THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

Lyris, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively Lyris or the Company) is a leading Internet marketing
technology company. Its software-as-a-service, or SaaS-based online marketing solutions and services provide customers the ability to build, deliver and manage online, permission-based direct marketing programs and other communications to customers
that use online and mobile channels to communicate to their respective customers and members. The Companys software products are offered to customers primarily on a subscription and license basis.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware as J.L. Halsey Corporation and changed its name to Lyris, Inc. in
October 2007. The Company has principal offices in Emeryville, California and conducts its business worldwide, with wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. The Companys foreign subsidiaries are generally engaged in
providing sales, account management and support with some product development in Canada.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year

The Companys fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal year 2010, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). The Companys consolidated financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of its subsidiaries. The Company eliminates from its financial results all significant intercompany transactions. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. There are certain reclassifications that have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to
conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss or stockholders equity.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company modified its operating allocation methodology and retroactively reclassified
previous year amounts for comparability purposes. This operating expense allocation methodology modification was based on business judgment and planning needs to improve financial reporting. The Company allocates overhead such as rent, insurance
cost, employee related costs, utilities and property taxes based on headcount. This reclassification did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated net loss or earnings per share. The effect of the reclassification on the previously
reported consolidated statement of operation is reflected in the table below:



|                                                                |  |                                    |        |        |   |        |                       |  |   |        |

Segment Reporting

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has established standards for business enterprises to report its information
by operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Companys chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for
purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment as an e-marketing technology and other services company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)



Use of Estimates and Assumptions

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, for a fair presentation of the periods presented, the Company makes adjustments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on the analysis of
historical and expected future trends, which can require extended periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. Accordingly, the actual results may ultimately differ from estimates and assumptions. The Companys
accounting estimates that require the most significant and subjective judgments include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, amortization and depreciation (estimated useful lives), goodwill and intangible assets valuation,
discontinued operations, valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, current and deferred taxes, deferred revenue and other contingencies.

Foreign currency translation

The Company records assets, liabilities and the results of its operations outside of the United States based on their functional currency.
On consolidation, the Company translates all assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. The Company translates revenues and expenses using the monthly average exchange rates that were in effect during the
period. The Company recognizes the resulting adjustments as a separate component of equity in other comprehensive loss or gain. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in income as incurred for that period.

Both of the Companys European and Canadian subsidiaries represented approximately 7% of its consolidated net operating revenues and
consolidated long-lived assets at June 30, 2010. The Company will continue to manage its foreign currency exposure to mitigate, over time, a portion of the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on net income and earnings per share. The
fluctuation in the exchange rates resulted in foreign currency translation gains reflected as a component of comprehensive gain in stockholders equity of $130 thousand at June 30, 2010.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in a highly competitive and dynamic market. Accordingly, there are factors that could adversely impact the
Companys current and future operations or financial results including, but not limited to, the following: its ability to obtain rights to or protect intellectual property; changes in regulations; its ability to develop new products accepted in
the marketplace; future impairment charges; competition including, but not limited to, product pricing, product features and services; litigation or claims against the Company; and the hiring, training and retention of key employees.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade
receivables. The Company sells its products primarily to customers throughout the United States. The Company monitors the credit status of its customers on an ongoing basis and does not require its customers to provide collateral for
purchases on credit. No sales to an individual customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Moreover, there was no single customer or supplier that accounted for more than 10% of the
Companys trade receivables for the same periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and
certain other accrued liabilities approximate their fair values, due to their short maturities. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying amounts of capital lease obligations approximate
their fair value.

Fair is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
(exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB has established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data
obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value
hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy are described below:



38



---

##### Table of Contents

LYRIS INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)



Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. As of June 30, 2010, the Company used Level 1 assumptions for our cash equivalents, which are traded in an active market. The valuations are based on quoted prices of the underlying security that are readily and regularly available
in an active market, and accordingly, a significant degree of judgment is not required.

Level 2: Directly or indirectly
observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted market for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and
liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable
data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. As of June 30, 2010, the Company did not have any Level 2 financial assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and require the use of significant management judgment. These
values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize managements estimates of market participant assumptions. As of June 30, 2010, the Company did not have any significant Level 3 financial assets or
liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, primarily consisting of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds, are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances with banks in excess of FDIC insured
limits. The Company limits its credit risk by maintaining accounts with financial institutions of high credit standing.

Property and
Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation
and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two years to seven years, or the lease term including any lease term extensions that the Company has the right and
intention to execute, if applicable. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and professional services and licensing its software products to its
customers.

The Company generally recognizes revenue 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 (for software licenses, revenue is recognized when the customer is given electronic access to the licensed software); (3) the amount of fees to be
paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable.

Subscription and
Other Services Revenue

The Company generates services revenue from several sources, including hosted software for
use by customers (subscription revenue), professional consulting services and technical support (maintenance) services. The Company recognizes subscription revenue monthly based on the usage defined in the agreement. The Company records amounts that
have been invoiced in accounts receivable and recognized in revenue or deferred revenue depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Thus, the Company invoices excess usage and recognizes it as revenue when incurred.

The Company accounts separately for professional services sold with the Companys hosted software arrangements when
these services have value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value for each deliverable. When accounted for separately, the Company recognizes professional services revenue as the services are
performed. If professional services do not qualify for separate accounting, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the remaining term of the hosted software arrangement.

The Company defers technical support (maintenance) revenue, including revenue that is part of a multiple element arrangement, and
recognizes it ratably over the term of the agreement, which is generally one year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)



Software Revenue

The Company entered into certain revenue arrangements for which it is obligated to deliver multiple products and/or services (multiple
elements). For these arrangements, which generally include software products, support and professional services, the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered elements based on their vendor-specific objective evidence of fair
value (VSOE). The Company establishes VSOE (delivered and undelivered) for the majority of its elements. The Company allocates total earned revenue under the agreement among the various elements based on their relative fair value. In the
event that VSOE does not exist for all elements, the Company uses the residual method to determine how much revenue for the delivered elements (software licenses) is recognized upon delivery by assigning VSOE to other elements in multiple element
arrangements.

The Company determines VSOE based on actual prices charged for standalone sales of maintenance. To accomplish
this, the Company track sales for the maintenance product when sold on a standalone basis for a one year term and compare to sales of the associated licensed software product.

The Company performs a quarterly analysis of the actual sales for standalone maintenance and licensed software to establish the
percentage of sales relationships for each level of maintenance and licensed software. The result of this analysis has historically been a tight range of percentage of sales relationships centered on a mid-point. Renewal rates, expressed as a
consistent percentage of the license fee at each level, represent VSOE of fair value for the maintenance element of the arrangements.

The Company recognizes revenue from its professional services at the time of delivery of the service. It established professional
services VSOE based on the use of a consistent rate per hour when similar services are sold separately on a time-and-material basis. In cases where VSOE has not been established, we defer the full value of the arrangement and recognize it ratably
over the term of the agreement.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents customer billings made in advance for annual support or hosting contracts, professional consulting services to
be delivered in the future, and bulk purchases of emails to be delivered in the future. The Company typically bills maintenance on a per annum basis in advance for software and recognizes the revenue ratably over the maintenance period. Some
hosted contracts are prepaid monthly, quarterly or annually and recognized monthly after the service has been provided. Bulk purchases are typically billed in advance, ranging from monthly to annually, and the Company recognizes revenue in the
periods in which emails are delivered.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs were $5.1 million for
both fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records trade accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated
uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts.

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. Its estimate is based on historical
collection experience, changes in customer payment history and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. If any of these factors change, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will
change.

Loss Contingencies and Commitments

The Company records estimated loss contingencies when information is available that indicates that it is probable that a material loss has
been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company discloses if the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is
probable but cannot be estimated, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they arise from guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Determining the likelihood of incurring a liability and estimating the amount of the liability involves an exercise of judgment. If the litigation results in an outcome that has greater adverse consequences to the Company than management currently
expects, then the Company may have to record additional charges in the future. As of June 30, 2010, there were neither material changes to the Company commitments and obligations, nor were there any probable material losses incurred that could
be reasonably estimated.

The Companys commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for corporate office
space and co-location facilities for data center capacity for research and test data centers. The Company also enters into contractual purchase obligations, capital leases and other agreements that are legally binding and specify certain minimum
payment terms.

Goodwill, Long-lived Assets and Other Intangible Assets

The Company classifies its intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to
amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill.

The
Company evaluates its fixed assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group (in use or under development) is evaluated and found not to be recoverable (carrying amount exceeds the
gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition), then an impairment loss must be recognized. The impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the assets or asset groups fair value. In addition, the
potential impairment of finite life intangibles is assessed whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The Company tests goodwill and its intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization annually on June 30th for
impairment. In addition, the Company considers the following significant factors that could trigger an impairment review prior to annual testing:



| | a. | a significant underperformance relative to historical or expected projected future operating results;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b. | a significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c. | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------



| | d. | a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period of time;
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | e. | a significant change in our market capitalization relative to net book value; and
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | f. | a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impairment Testing

If the Company determines that the carrying value of intangible assets, long-lived assets or goodwill may not be recoverable based upon
the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, it measures any potential impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our
current business model. The fair values calculated in the Companys impairment tests are determined using discounted cash flow models involving several assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, anticipated operating income
growth rates, the Companys long-term anticipated operating income growth rate, and the discount rate (including a specific reporting unit risk premium). The assumptions that are used are based upon what the Company believes a hypothetical
marketplace participant would use in estimating fair value. In developing these assumptions, the Company compares the resulting estimated enterprise value to its observable market enterprise value at the time the analysis is performed. Based on the
most recent impairment test conducted on June 30, 2010, the Company has concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets during fiscal year 2010. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capitalized Software Costs

Software licensing. The Company expenses internal costs incurred in researching and developing computer software products designed
for sale or licensing until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, applicable development software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general
release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The Company determined that technological feasibility is established when it has completed all necessary planning and
designing and after it has resolved all high-risk development issues through coding and testing. Moreover, these activities are necessary to establish that the product can meet its design specifications including functions, features, and
technical performance requirements. The Company discontinues capitalization when the product is available for general release to customers.

SaaS software costs. The Company capitalizes the direct costs associated with the software it develops for use in providing
software-as-a-service to its customers during its application development stage. The types of activities performed during the application development stage create probable future economic benefits. Once the software is available for use in
providing services to customers, the Company amortizes the capitalized amount over three years with the amortization charged to cost of revenues. The Company expenses activities performed during the preliminary project stage which are analogous
to research and development activities. In addition, the Company expenses the types of activities performed during the post-implementation / operation stage. These activities are likely to include release ready and release launch
activities. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company amortizes stock-based compensation expense based upon the fair value of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the
requisite vesting period as defined in the applicable plan documents. Refer to Note13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with standards established by the FASB. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit
carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax
assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the rate enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the
deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.

In
accordance with FASB standards,the Company establishes a valuation allowance if it believes that it is more likely than not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless
it determines that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained upon external examination, an audit by taxing authority. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood
of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisition

Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of purchased assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition, including
estimating future cash flows from the acquired business, determining appropriate discount rates, asset lives and other assumptions. The Companys process to determine the fair value of the non-compete agreements, customer relationships and
developed technology includes the use of estimates including: the potential impact on operating results if the non-compete agreements were not in place; revenue estimates for customers acquired through the acquisition based on an assumed customer
attrition rate; estimated costs to be incurred to purchase the capabilities gained through the developed technology model; and appropriate discount rates based on a particular business weighted average cost of capital. The Companys
estimates of an entitys growth and costs are based on historical data, various internal estimates and a variety of external sources, and are developed as part of our planning process. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income (loss) per share except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised. Refer to Note 11 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative FASB guidance on business combinations. The guidance retains the fundamental
acquisition method of accounting requirements to be used for all business combinations, but significantly changes the accounting for certain aspects of business combinations, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized and
measured as a result of business combinations. It also requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. The Company expects this guidance to have an
impact on its accounting future business acquisitions.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue
arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance that will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance, when
vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative
selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new
guidance on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the consolidation
of variable interest entities. The guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The Company is
in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

3. Acquisition

On May 12, 2009, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Robinsonscalvini Limited
(Facultas), a privately held company, with its headquarters in London, England, for a nominal amount. Facultas was a marketing representative and reseller for the Company and it operated in that capacity for approximately three years.
Under the guidance established by the FASB, the Company accounted for the acquisition of Facultas as a business combination by recognizing all Facultas identifiable assets and liabilities, and the settlement amount which equals approximately
the agreed nominal purchase price, associated with the preexisting relationship based on Facultas fair market value.

The activity for intangible assets for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 consisted of the following:



|                                        |  |                |        |

For fiscal years 2010 and 2009 foreign currency translation adjustments were $21 thousand, and $(44)
thousand, respectively. The change in net intangible assets is primarily a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.

Total intangible asset amortization and impairment expense for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 was $3.6 million. For fiscal years 2010 and
2009, total intangible asset amortization and impairment expense of developed technology classified as cost of revenue was $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, accumulated amortization includes the $4.2 million
impairment write-down recorded in fiscal year 2009. Additionally, during fiscal year 2010, the Company eliminated approximately $1.7 million in fully amortized intangible assets from its net intangible assets.

Customer relationship-based intangible assets have a weighted average amortization period of 5.29 years and developed technology-based
intangible assets have a weighted average amortization period of 4.88 years.

During fiscal year June 30, 2009, the
Company recognized $107 thousand in write-downs of some certain legacy intangible assets related to certain technologies and customer relationships. In addition, the Company changed certain intangible assets estimated useful lives from an
indefinite life to a definite life of approximately three years. However, based on the Companys business model of integrating the other significant purchased intangible assets (technologies and functionalities, i.e. Clicktracks and
EmailLabs), to its growing premier product, Lyris HQ,it concluded there were no impairment charges related to these purchased intangible assets for fiscal year 2009. The Company based this conclusion utilizing the income approach,
projecting growth rates in the near term (ranging from 10% to 20% from 2010 to 2012).

Additionally, in fiscal year 2009, the Company acquired approximately $300 thousand in
customer relationship intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Facultas. These intangible assets are being amortized to operating expense over a five year period.

The estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets, assuming no future impairment of the underlying assets as of
June 30, 2010, is as follows:

5. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with the Companys
business combinations accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

The following table outlines the
Companys goodwill, by acquisition:

The Company had no goodwill activity in fiscal year
2010. The activity for goodwill for fiscal year 2009 consisted of the following:



|                                        |  |                |         |

Hot Banana operates in Canada and uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. Consequently
goodwill related to the acquisition of Hot Banana is accounted for as a Canadian dollar functional currency asset. Each financial period, all assets, including goodwill, and liabilities of group entities with a non U.S. dollar functional
currency are translated into U.S. dollars, the Companys reporting currency, using the closing rate method at period end. No foreign currency translation adjustment related to goodwill was recognized during fiscal year 2010 since the Company
wrote-off the goodwill related to the Hot Banana acquisition in fiscal year 2009.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)



During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company performed its annual
impairment testing of its goodwill and intangible assets. The Company determined that the following factors contributed to the reductions of the carrying amount of its goodwill and intangible assets compared to their estimated fair value: the
significant negative economic global condition; the sustained decline in the Companys stock price; and the significant change in the Companys market capitalization. As such, the Company recorded a $17.0 million noncash impairment charge
in fiscal year 2009 based on the calculated fair value of the goodwill using the valuation assumptions below.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company entered into capital leases totaling approximately $425 thousand for
computer equipment associated with its data centers. Accumulated depreciation related to property and equipment under capital leases totaled $38 thousand as of June 30, 2010. Total depreciation expense, including depreciation expense related to
computer equipment under capital leases, for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 was approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Also during the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company continued to capitalize hosting software costs. Total capitalized hosting
software costs were approximately $1.3 million and $193 thousand during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capitalized hosting software costs primarily consist of employee-related costs. The Company started amortizing capitalized hosting
software costs in fiscal year 2010 resulting in $113 thousand in amortization expense being recorded as cost of revenue.

7. Revolving Line
of Credit

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (the Amendment) to the Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank (the Bank). The Amendment revises the terms of any previous amended and restated loan and security agreement entered into between the Bank and the Company.

The Amendment consolidates the Companys existing revolving line of credit and term loan into a single revolving line of credit of
$5.0 million with a maturity date of April 30, 2012. In connection with the Amendment the Company repaid in full the $3.4 million term loan that had previously been outstanding under the previous agreement as of May 2010. Borrowings under the
line of credit are secured by the Companys assets. Without prior bank approval, the Companys line of credit under the Amendment is limited to $1.5 million to be used for joint ventures or acquisitions and the Company cannot become
subject to more than $1.0 million of permitted liens in connection with equipment purchases.

Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and their tax basis and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered, in addition to estimated amounts related to net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit
carryforwards. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets which relate to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, in excess of amounts carried back to prior years and tax credit
carryforwards that may not be realized.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has approximately $159 thousand in U.S. federal
net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards that will start to expire in 2019. In addition, the Company also has approximately $3.3 million in Canadian net operating loss carryforwards that will start to expire in 2028. These NOLs offset
future taxable income and taxable gains.

The change in the valuation allowance was a decrease of approximately $469 thousand
and $1.3 million, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The reason for this change was the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, offsetting the estimated tax income as calculated per tax
purposes. If the Company experiences a change of ownership within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, it may have limitations on its ability to realize the benefit of our net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards.

In addition to the net operating loss carryovers, the Company has alternative minimum tax credit
carryovers of $4.4 million. The alternative minimum tax credit may be applied to regular federal income tax once the NOLs expired or the Company has regular federal taxable income. There is no expiration date on alternative minimum tax credit
carryovers.

The items accounting for the difference between expected tax (benefit) computed at the federal statutory rate of
35% and the provision of income taxes were as follows:

Other comprehensive loss includes gains and (losses) on the translation of foreign currency denominated
financial statements. Adjustments resulting from these translations are accumulated and reported as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders equity section of the balance sheet.

11. Net Loss per Share

Accounting standards established by the FASB requires the presentation of the basic net income (loss) per common share and diluted net
income (loss) per common share. Basic net income (loss) per common share excludes any dilutive effects of options and convertible securities. Dilutive net (loss) per common share is the same as basic net (loss) per common share since the effect of
potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation and reconciliation of net
loss per share:

For fiscal year 2010, the Company incurred a $2.7 million net loss. The dilutive loss
per common share calculated for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 excludes the effect of 6,610 and 6,539 thousand in options outstanding, respectively. These amounts were excluded since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.

12. Stockholders Equity

Shares of common stock outstanding were as follows:

On April 12, 2010, the Company entered into
subscription agreements with each of (a) William T. Comfort, III, chairman of the Companys Board, and (b) Meudon Investments, a New York limited partnership whose general partner, James A. Urry, is another of the Companys
Board. Pursuant to the subscription agreements, Mr. Comfort purchased 12,121,212 shares of the Companys common stock at a purchase price of $0.33 per share or $4.0 million in total and Meudon Investments purchased 6,060,606 shares of the
Companys common stock at a purchase price of $0.33 per share or $2.0 million in total. Upon closing the deal on April 26, 2010, the Company issued 18,181,818 of its common stock and received all of the total proceeds of $6.0 million in
total proceeds. Transaction costs associated with the private placement were immaterial.

On March 5, 2008, the Company
entered into a Subscription Agreement (the LDN Stuyvie Subscription Agreement) with LDN Stuyvie, an entity controlled by the non-executive chairman of our board of directors, William T. Comfort III. Pursuant to the LDN Stuyvie
Subscription Agreement, LDN Stuyvie purchased 6,520,374 shares of our common stock, which included 952,381 shares issued for an additional investment in the Company and 5,567,993 shares exchanged for a promissory note, at a purchase price of $1.05
per share or $6.8 million in the aggregate. The aggregate purchase price was satisfied by LDN Stuyvie as follows: (1) payment of $1.0 million in cash; and (2) termination of a $5.2 million promissory note from the Company held by LDN
Stuyvie.

Reverse Stock Split

At the May 12, 2010 Annual Meeting for fiscal year 2009, the stockholders of the Company approved and adopted an amendment to the
Companys Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of not less than one for ten and not more than one for thirty and a grant of discretionary authority to the Board of Directors to effect the Reverse Stock Split
at any time prior to the Annual Meeting of the Companys stockholders for the fiscal year 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors has not authorized a Reverse Stock Split.

Treasury Stock

Repurchased shares of the Companys common stock are held as treasury shares until they are reissued. When the Company reissues
treasury stock, if the proceeds from the sale are more than the average price the Company paid to acquire the shares, the Company records an increase in additional paid-in capital. Conversely, if the proceeds from the sale are less than the average
price the Company paid to acquire the shares, the Company records a decrease in additional paid-in capital to the extent of increases previously recorded for similar transactions and a decrease in retained earnings for any remaining amount. The
Company does not hold any treasury shares as of June 30, 2010 and 2009.

13. Stock Compensation Plans

Stock Options Plan

On May 6, 2005, the Company established the J.L. Halsey Corporation 2005 Equity Based Compensation Plan, which it amended with the
First Amendment, effective as of May 6, 2005 (together, the Original Equity-Based Compensation Plan). Subsequently, the Board adopted the Second Amendment to the Original Equity-Based Compensation Plan (the Second
Amendment) and, on May 13, 2009, the Companys stockholders ratified the Second Amendment (the Second Amendment, together with the Original Equity-Based Compensation Plan, the Equity-Based Compensation Plan). The
Equity-Based Compensation Plan authorizes the granting of stock options and stock-based awards to employees, directors, and certain consultants. Stock options issued in connection with the Equity-Based Compensation Plan are granted with an exercise
price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Companys common stock at the date of grant. Stock options generally become exercisable over a four year vesting period and expire 10 years from the date of the grant. The effect
of the Second Amendment was to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with awards granted under the Equity-Based Compensation Plan from 13,200,000 shares to 17,200,000 shares, thereby increasing the number of
shares available for future awards under the Equity Based Compensation Plan by 4,000,000 shares. At June 30, 2010, there were 5.6 million shares available for future issuance under the Equity-Based Compensation Plan.

On July 9, 2009, the Companys Compensation Committee modified the exercise price of 3,429,499 outstanding stock option awards
granted to 178 employees, including executives, by exchanging each employee stock option with an exercise price greater than $0.50 for a stock option with a $0.50 exercise price on a one share-to-one share basis. The other terms of the stock option
awards such as the commencement date and vesting schedule remained unchanged. The Company used the binomial lattice pricing model and the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the repriced options:



|                            |  |             |  
|--------------------------- |  | ----------- | -
|Expected Volatility         |  | 78          | %
|Expected term of the option |  | 4.5 years   |  
|Risk-free interest rates    |  | 0.47 - 3.44 | %
|Expected dividends          |  |            |  

Total
additional stock-based compensation expense associated with the modification was $99 thousand of which $69 thousand was recognized in fiscal year 2010. The remaining $30 thousand in unamortized stock-based compensation expense will be recognized
over the remaining vesting period of the unvested stock options.

The following table summarizes stock option activity from
July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010:

As of June 30, 2010, the calculated aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and
options exercisable was immaterial for disclosure. The intrinsic value represents the pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Companys closing stock price on June 30, 2010 which would have been received by the option holders had all option
holders exercised their options as of that date. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 10,325,487 options vested or expected to vest with a weighted average exercise price of $0.39 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.4 years.
As of June 30, 2010, unamortized compensation cost related to stock options was $1.0 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation
expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award which is generally four years.

The weighted
average fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table:

|Expected term of the option                          |  |                            | 4.5 years   |   |      |   | 4.5 years   |  
|Risk-free interest rates                             |  |                            | 1.97 - 2.35 | % |      |   | 1.72 - 3.22 | %

The expected term of
the options is based on the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding and is derived by analyzing historical exercise behavior of employees in the Companys peer group as well as the options contractual terms. Expected
volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Companys peer groups common stock, the Companys historical volatility and other factors. The risk-free rates are for the period matching the expected term of
the option and are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve rates as published by the Federal Reserve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is zero based on the fact the Company has no intention of paying dividends in the near term.

LYRIS INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)



Retirement Plans

The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) Plan covering substantially all of its employees. Beginning September 2006, the Company
began making matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan. During fiscal year 2009, due to difficult business conditions and the economic downturn, the Company discontinued the 401(k) matching plan program. As such, in fiscal year 2010, there was no
employee related expense associated with the Companys 401(k) contribution match program. During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, employee related expenses associated with the Companys 401(k) contribution match program were approximately $250
thousand and $290 thousand, respectively.

Annual Incentive Bonus

On August 1, 2008, Annual Incentive Bonus plan (the Bonus Plan) was approved by the Companys Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee). Under this Bonus Plan certain key employees, including the named executive officers are eligible to receive cash bonus payments following each fiscal quarter. The objectives of the
Bonus Plan include aligning the eligible participants performance with the Companys business goals to reward and retain high performing key employees, and to attract high quality employees to the Company.

The Company occupys the majority of its facilities under non-cancellable operating leases
with lease terms in excess of one year. Such facility leases generally provide for annual increases based upon the Consumer Price Index or fixed increments. Rent expense under operating leases totaled $1.4 million and $1.1million during fiscal years
2010 and 2009, respectively.

Legal claims

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business, including
customer disputes, breach of contract claims, and other matters. Although the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such litigation and claims will not have a
material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Due to the inherent uncertainties of such litigation and claims, the Companys view of such matters may change in the future.

15. Subsequent Events

On July 23, 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with SiteWit Corp.
(SiteWit), a privately held company that provides an online marketing search engine to its customers. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire up to 30% of SiteWits capitalization on a fully diluted basis, based upon the
achievement of product development milestones through fiscal year 2011. The Company paid $500 thousand in cash at the signing of the Agreement, and will invest an additional $500 thousand upon the achievement of the milestones. As part of this
investment, the Company received the right to designate a board member of SiteWit. The Company also entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement with SiteWit regarding the development and marketing of other services.

On August 19, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that Luis A. Rivera had resigned from his positions as President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the board of directors (Board) had appointed Wolfgang Maasberg as the Companys new President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board. The resignation and the
appointment occurred on August 18, 2010. Mr. Rivera will continue to serve as a member of the Board. Under the terms of Mr Riveras separation and release agreement, he was paid an amount equal to all wages, salary, bonuses,
reimbursable expenses and, accrued vacation in the amount of $31 thousand at the date of separation. In addition, Mr. Rivera was paid $375 thousand (1.5 times his base salary) in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. The
Company repurchased 170,000 shares of common stock from Mr. Rivera at the then market price of $0.33 for a total payment of $56 thousand. The Company also amended the Mr. Riveras stock option agreement to extend the period in which
he may exercise unexercised vested shares from ninety (90) days to one year following the date of his resignation. The Company will incur approximately $0.2 million in total stock-based compensation costs in fiscal year 2011 as a result of
modifying the terms of Mr. Riveras stock option award.

In August 2010, the Companys management initiated a
reorganization plan (Plan) to align the Companys organization structure with its current market position. According to the Plan, the Company expects to incur approximately $0.4 million in severance cost in connection with the termination
of 41 employees. The Plan is expected to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.

On September 15, 2010,
the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (Amendment) with Comerica Bank (Bank). The Amendment revises the terms of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
(Agreement) between the Company and Bank, as amended, as follows: (1) amending the definition of EBITDA to include in EBITDA severance related expenses of $1.1 million incurred in August 2010; (2) waiving compliance with the
EBITDA financial covenant under the Agreement for the August 2010 measuring period, the terms of which the Company was not in compliance with due to severance and related expenses incurred in August 2010; and (3) requiring the Company to
maintain EBITDA not less than specified amounts. The new EBITDA minimum requirements, which are measured on a trailing six months basis, are as follows:

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). This evaluation was performed
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of
the period covered by this Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

As of June 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
fiscal year 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Managements Annual report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of managements assessment with our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, the end of our fiscal year. Management based
its assessment on criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in (COSO). Managements assessment included evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial
reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment.

Based on our assessment
of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

This report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in
this Annual report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure control or our
internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will
be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of
compliance with policies or procedures.

CODE OF ETHICS

We adopted our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on September 25, 2003, and it was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003.

STOCKHOLDER NOMINATION

Our Bylaws contain provisions addressing the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board
of Directors at our Annual Meeting. Historically, we have not had a formal policy concerning stockholder recommendations for nominees. Given our size, the Board of Directors does not feel that such a formal policy is warranted at this time. The
absence of such a policy, however, does not mean that a reasonable stockholder recommendation will not be considered, in light of our particular needs and the policies and procedures set forth above. Procedures for submitting such stockholder
recommendations are set forth under Stockholder Communications with the Board below. The Board of Directors will reconsider this matter at such time as it believes that our circumstances, including our operations and prospects, warrant
the adoption of such a policy.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

We have no formal process by which stockholders may communicate directly with directors. However stockholders may direct communications
intended for the Board of Directors to the Secretary of the Company, at 6401 Hollis St., Suite 125, Emeryville, California 94608. The envelope containing such communication must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a
Stockholder-Board Communication or Stockholder-Director Communication or similar statement that clearly and unmistakably indicates the communication is intended for the Board of Directors. All such communications must clearly
indicate the author as a stockholder and state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board of Directors or just certain specified directors. The Secretary of the Company will make copies of all such communications and circulate them
to the appropriate director or directors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board with carrying out its duties. The primary functions of the Audit
Committee are to oversee:



| |  |  | our accounting and financial reporting process;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the quality and integrity of the financial statements and other financial information that we provide to any governmental body or the public;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the independent auditors qualifications and independence; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The role and other responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee Charter is
not available on our website. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter was last provided to stockholders as an exhibit to the proxy statement for our annual meeting for fiscal year 2005, which was originally filed with the SEC on June 20, 2006.

The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Blair and De Santis Cuadra, with Mr. Blair serving as chairman. The
Board has affirmatively determined that all members of the Audit Committee meet the current independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Those standards require that, in
addition to meeting the independence standards set forth under Certain Relationship and Related Transactions  Director Independence, each member of the Audit Committee must not be an affiliate of ours and must not receive from us,
directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees except for fees for services as a director. The Board also has determined that Mr. Blair satisfies the requirements for an audit committee financial expert
and has designated Mr. Blair as our audit committee financial expert.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committees purpose is to assist the Board of Directors in determining the compensation of senior management and
administering our benefit plans. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee) currently is composed of Messrs. Comfort and Urry. During fiscal year 2009, the Compensation Committee held two meetings.

##### Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee currently does not have a charter. The Compensation Committee
establishes the salaries of all corporate officers, including the named executive officers set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under Executive Compensation, and directs and administers our incentive compensation plans. The
Compensation Committee also reviews with the Board of Directors its recommendations relating to the future direction of corporate compensation practices and benefit programs. The Compensation Committee does not have the authority to delegate any of
its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee may receive recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer or other officers regarding executive compensation and benefits, and may secure the services of our accounting and human resources
department in fulfilling its responsibilities. To date, the Compensation Committee has not retained independent advisors in the fulfillment of its responsibilities.

The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee satisfy the independence requirements of the
listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. Additionally, Mr. Urry qualifies as a non-employee director under applicable SEC rules, and both Mr. Comfort and Mr. Urry qualify as outside directors under
Section 162(m) of the Code.

with the repricing of outstanding option awards described below in the footnotes to the 2010 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table. There were no options grants made to the above named executive officers in fiscal year 2009. The
assumptions used in the valuation of these awards are set forth in Note 13 to our consolidated audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and do not purport to reflect
the value that will be recognized by the named executive officers upon the sale of the underlying securities. The vesting provisions of these options are also described in the footnotes to the 2010 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table
below.

detail in the narrative following the Summary Compensation Table) for fiscal year 2010. The amounts of these compensation awards represent amounts equal to 64% of the individual bonus potentials for Mr. Rivera and Mr. Mathieu and 63% of
the individual bonus potential for Ms. Mackintosh. For the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009, the amounts of these compensation awards represent 70% of the individual bonus potentials for each of the individuals.

|(3) | Pursuant to Mr. Riveras employment agreement, the Company paid the employee portion of his healthcare benefit premiums an amount equal to $14,615 in fiscal

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation programs and policies focus mainly on retaining and attracting employees necessary to operate the acquired
subsidiaries and grow our business. To date, we have not undertaken a formal study to determine whether compensation paid to our executives is competitive with that of our competitors. Instead, the Compensation Committee has focused on one-on-one
negotiations with our executives at the time of hire for the purpose of recruiting the executive in order to assemble an executive team that will develop and implement our long-term strategic goals.

Annual Bonus Plan

On August 1, 2008, the Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive bonus plan. Under this bonus plan, certain key employees,
including the named executive officers, are eligible to receive cash bonus payments following each fiscal quarter. The objectives of the bonus plan include aligning the eligible participants performance with the Companys business goals
to reward and retain high performing key employees, and to attract high quality employees to the Company.

Under the bonus
plan, participants are eligible to receive bonuses during each bonus year based on individual performance and our Companys performance. With respect to bonuses based on individual performance, all or a portion of a bonus may be based on the
participants attainment of individual performance objectives, as may be determined by the Compensation Committee. Participants are also eligible to receive all or a portion of their bonuses based on the following Company performance criteria:
(1) net new monthly hosted revenue additions (2) total revenue; and (3) corporate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the Company Performance Bonus). The bonus plan is to be administered under
the direction of the Compensation Committee and, therefore, the Compensation Committee may select additional criteria for the Company Performance Bonus. For each bonus plan year, the Compensation Committee will establish the percentage to use for
each of the criteria that comprise the Company Performance Bonus, such that participants are aware of the relative importance of each criterion in determining any Company Performance Bonuses. To the extent the Company exceeds performance targets
participants are eligible for additional bonus awards.

In fiscal year 2010, because of the difficult economic environment, the Company did not
achieve the performance targets established by the Compensation Committee. Because of this the Compensation Committee awarded a fixed bonus pool for the Companys executives, including the named executives. The bonuses for the first, second and
third quarters of fiscal year 2010 were 55%, 63% and 78% of the bonus amounts that would have been awarded had we achieved our performance targets. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the bonus pool targeted 61% however Ms. Mackintoshs
bonus was 57% and Mr. Mathieus bonus was 59% so that certain executives other than named executives could receive bonuses higher than the targeted bonuses for their accomplishments. In the first fiscal quarter of 2009, bonuses were
awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009, only the criteria for the Company performance bonus were used to determine bonuses for our named executive officers. The criteria for the
Company performance bonus were weighted as follows: (1) net new monthly hosted revenue additions-50% (2) total revenue-20%; and (3) corporate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization-20%.

OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR END

Mr. Mathieu.Pursant to his employment agreement, in the event
Mr. Mathieus employment is terminated without cause, we will pay to Mr. Mathieu an amount equal to six months of his current annual base salary at the time of termination. At the end of fiscal year 2010, this provision would have
entitled Mr. Mathieu to $117,500, plus any other amounts accrued but not yet paid. Mr. Mathieus agreement does not contain a provision for additional payment based on a change of control; however, we will require any successor to us
to assume expressly and agree to perform this employment agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that we would be required to perform. Mr. Mathieus agreement also provides that if the Company is acquired or undergoes a change
of control, or if his employment is terminated without Cause, any unvested options shall immediately vest.

Under the terms of
the agreement: cause means (a) the failure of Mr. Mathieu to perform his obligations and duties to the satisfaction of us, (b) commission by Mr. Mathieu of an act of fraud upon, or willful misconduct toward, us or any
of our affiliates, (c) a material breach by Mr. Mathieu of certain sections of our Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (PIAA), (d) the failure of Mr. Mathieu to carry out, or comply with, in any material
respect, any directive of the Board consistent with the terms of the PIAA, which in the case of each situation above is not remedied within 15 days after receipt of written notice from us or our Board, or (e) the conviction of Mr. Mathieu
of (or a plea of nolo contendere to) any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude.

Ms. Mackintosh.Ms. Mackintoshs agreement provides that, in the event her employment is terminated without cause, we shall pay to Ms. Mackintosh an amount equal to six months of her current annual base salary at the time of termination. At the
end of fiscal year 2010, this provision would have entitled Ms. Mackintosh to $110,000, plus any other amounts accrued but not yet paid. Ms. Mackintoshs agreement does not contain a provision for additional payment based on a change
of control; however, we will require any successor to us to assume expressly and agree to perform this employment agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that we would be required to perform.

Under the terms of the agreement: cause means (a) the failure of Ms. Mackintosh to perform her obligations and
duties to the satisfaction of us, (b) commission by Ms. Mackintosh of an act of fraud upon, or willful misconduct toward, us or any of our affiliates, (c) a material breach by Ms. Mackintosh of certain sections of our PIAA,
(d) the failure of Ms. Mackintosh to carry out, or comply with, in any material respect, any directive of the Board consistent with the terms of the PIAA, which in the case of each situation above is not remedied within 15 days after
receipt of written notice from us or our Board, or (e) the conviction of Ms. Mackintosh of (or a plea of nolo contendere to) any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude.

The 2005 Plan, described below under Equity Compensation Plan Information, gives the Compensation Committee the discretion to
vest options outstanding under the 2005 Plan upon the occurrence of a change in control. In addition to the accelerated vesting described above for Mr. Mathieu, the option agreements for each of the named executive officers provide that within
one year following the occurrence of a change in control, if the executives employment is terminated without cause by us, or with good reason by the executive (in each case, as defined in the option agreement), any options that would have
become exercisable on or prior to the one year anniversary following the termination shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the first anniversary of the termination of employment or the earlier
expiration of the option in accordance with its terms. If a qualifying termination had occurred on June 30, 2010, such an acceleration of vesting would have resulted in the following for our named executive officers: no additional shares for
Mr. Rivera; 584,375 shares for Mr. Mathieu; and 433,333 shares for Ms. Mackintosh. There was no value associated with accelerated vesting relating to Mr. Rivera since his options vested prior to June 30, 2010. No value has
been assigned to such a potential vesting acceleration for Mr. Mathieu or Ms. Mackintosh because the exercise price of each of Mr. Mathieus and Ms. Mackintoshs options exceeds the $0.34 closing prince of our common
stock on June 30, 2010.

We established the 2005 Plan on May 6, 2005. The
2005 Plan provides for grants of stock options and stock-based awards to our employees, directors, and consultants. Stock options issued in connection with the 2005 Plan are granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of
a share of our Common Stock at the date of grant. All stock options have ten-year maximum terms and vest, either quarterly or annually and all within four years of grant date. The total number of shares of common stock issuable under the Equity
Based Compensation Plan is 17,200,000. At June 30, 2010, there were 6,614,818 shares available for grant under the 2005 Plan.

On July 9, 2009, the Compensation Committee unilaterally cancelled all outstanding compensatory options to purchase Common Stock
held by current employees (including the named executive officers) with exercise prices in excess of $0.50 per share (the Cancelled Options). The Compensation Committee immediately replaced the Cancelled Options with options to purchase
Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the Replacement Options). Otherwise, the terms of the Replacement Options are identical in all respects to the Cancelled Options, including the identical number of underlying shares
of Common Stock, the same vesting schedule and the same vesting commencement date.

The following table sets forth information
with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as of August 31,2010 by:



| |  |  | each stockholder known by us to beneficially own more than five percent of the Common Stock;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | each of our directors;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | each of our named executive officers; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

Separation Agreement

On August 18, 2010 the Company entered into a separation agreement and release agreement with Luis Rivera. Mr Rivera resigned from
his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer but retained his position as a director of the company. See Item 11: Executive Compensation - Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control for a summary of the terms of
the separation agreement.

Subscription Agreements

On April 12, 2010, the Company entered into subscription agreements with each of (a) William T. Comfort, III, Chairman of the
Board, and (b) Meudon Investments, a New York limited partnership whose general partner, James A. Urry, is another of the Companys directors. Pursuant to the subscription agreements, Mr. Comfort purchased 12,121,212 shares of the
Companys common stock at a purchase price of $0.33 per share or $4,000,000 in the aggregate and Meudon Investments purchased 6,060,606 shares of the Companys common stock at a purchase price of $0.33 per share or $2,000,000 in the
aggregate.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. Under these agreements, we are obligated to indemnify the
directors to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by them in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as
a director. We believe that these indemnification agreements are helpful in attracting and retaining qualified directors.

Related Person
Transaction Procedures

Related person transactions are transactions in which we are a participant where the amount
involved exceeds $120,000, and a member of our Board, an executive officer or a holder of more than 5% of our common stock has a direct or indirect material interest.

To date we have not adopted a formal written policy with respect to review and approval of such related-party transactions. However, in
practice all such related-party transactions are reported to, and approved by, the full Board. Factors considered by the Board when deliberating such transactions include:



| |  |  | whether the terms of such transaction are fair to us;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether the transaction are consistent with, and contribute to, our growth strategy; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | what impact, if any, such transaction will have on the transfer restrictions currently in place with respect to our Common Stock.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The agreements and transactions listed above (other than the indemnification agreements) were all approved by the full
Board.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

We have adopted the NASDAQ Stock Markets standards for determining the independence of directors. Under these standards, an
independent director means a person other than an executive officer or one of our employees or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out
the responsibilities of a director. In addition, the following persons shall not be considered independent:



| |  |  | A director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by us;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a director who accepted or who has a family member who accepted any compensation from us in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive
months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compensation for service on the Board or any committee thereof;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compensation paid to a family member who is one of our employees (other than an executive officer); or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a director who is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by us as an executive officer;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

made, or from which we received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipients consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the
following:
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payments arising solely from investments in our securities; or

For purposes of the NASDAQ independence
standards, the term family member means a persons spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such persons home.

forth above, and has affirmatively determined that the following non-employee directors are independent: Messrs. Blair, Comfort, De Santis Cuadra and Urry.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has adopted a policy to pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other services
proposed to be provided by our independent auditor prior to engaging the auditor for that purpose. Consideration and approval of such services generally will occur at the Audit Committees regularly scheduled quarterly meetings. In situations
where it is impractical to wait until the regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, the Audit Committee may delegate authority to approve the audit, audit-related, tax and other services to a member of the committee up to a certain pre-determined level
as approved by the Audit Committee. During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, our Audit-Related fees as described above were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
