KEYNOTE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



(1) Basis of Presentation



The accompanying interim unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheets, and condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of
Keynote Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows. This report
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 included in the Companys Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.



The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the Companys results of operations and cash flows for any other future interim period or for a full fiscal year.



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, billing allowance and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material
to the financial statements.



Excess occupancy costs are fixed costs associated
with the portion of the Companys headquarters building, which is not occupied by the Company, such as property taxes, insurance and depreciation. These particular costs, which are reduced by rental income from the sublease of space in
its headquarters building, represent the fixed costs of operating the Companys headquarters building acquired in September 2002 and are based on the actual square footage not occupied by the Company, which was determined to be 60%
and 70% of the total rentable square footage of the headquarters building during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Certain amounts in fiscal 2004 as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The Company reclassified approximately $9.4 million in auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments on the fiscal 2004
consolidated balance sheet. The Company also reclassified $4.0 million and $3.6 million in auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments as of June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively, which decreased
cash flows from investing activities by $400,000 in the condensed consolidated statement of cashflows for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The reclassification of short-term investments is based on the latest interpretation of cash equivalents
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95 (SFAS 95), Statement of Cash Flows.



(2) Stock-Based Compensation Plans



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004)
(SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, and in March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Topic 14: Share-Based Payment, that address the accounting for share-based payment transactions in
which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such
equity instruments. These new rules eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company is currently evaluating these new rules to determine which fair-value-based model and transitional provision it
will follow upon adoption. The options for transition methods as prescribed in these new rules include either the modified prospective or the modified retrospective methods. The modified prospective method requires that compensation expense be
recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock as the requisite service is rendered beginning with the first quarter of adoption, while the modified retrospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for stock options
and restricted stock for all periods presented. SFAS 123R and SAB 107 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Management expects the adoption to have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations, but will not impact the Companys cashflows.



The Company
currently measures compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company applies the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion
No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized, when the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date.



As required under SFAS No. 123, the pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net
income and income per share for employee stock options granted have been estimated at the date of grant, using a Black Scholes option pricing model. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to pro
forma net income over the options vesting period.



The Black-Scholes
option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of freely traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly sensitive assumptions
including the expected life of options and the Companys expected stock price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares have characteristics significantly different from those of
freely traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Companys
employee stock options.

No tax effects were included in the
determination of pro forma net income (loss) because the deferred tax asset resulting from stock-based employee compensation would be offset by an additional valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The effects on pro forma disclosures of
applying SFAS No. 123 may not be representative of the effects on pro forma disclosures in future periods.

3) Revenue Recognition



Revenue consists of subscription services revenue and professional
services revenue. Subscription services revenue consists of fees from subscriptions to the Companys e-business performance measurement services and performance management solutions. Subscription services revenue is deferred upon invoicing and
is recognized ratably over the service period, commencing on the day service is first provided, generally ranging from one to twelve months. For some customers, subscription services revenue is invoiced monthly upon completion of the services.
Deferred revenue is comprised of all unearned revenue that has been collected in advance, primarily unearned subscription services revenue, and is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet until the revenue is earned. Any uncollected
deferred revenue reduces the balance of accounts receivable. The Company does not generally grant refunds. All discounts granted reduce revenue. Revenue is not recognized for free trial periods. Revenue related to the use of the Companys
WebEffective Intelligence Platform is accounted for as either subscription services revenue or professional services revenue depending on its use. If a customer purchases a subscription to the Companys WebEffective Intelligence Platform,
revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period, commencing on the day service is provided and recorded as subscription services revenue. If the WebEffectice Intelligence Platform is used to conduct evaluations on consulting engagements,
revenue is recognized upon the completion of the evaluation and recorded as professional services revenue. Professional services revenue consists of fees generated by the Companys professional services, and is recognized as the services are
performed, typically over a period of one to three months. For most consulting projects that span more than one month, the Company recognizes revenue as milestones or deliverables are completed.

(4) Comprehensive Income



Comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized gains and losses on short-term
investments in debt securities and foreign currency translation. The unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments in debt securities and foreign currency translation are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of
stockholders equity. The functional currency of the Companys foreign operations is the applicable local currency or United States dollar. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations as incurred. The components of comprehensive income are as follows (in thousands):

The tax effect on the foreign currency
translation gain (loss) and unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale investments is immaterial.



(5) Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk



The carrying value of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and capital lease obligations,
approximates fair market value due to their short-term nature. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.



Credit risk is concentrated in North America, but exists to a lesser extent in
Europe as well. The Company generally requires no collateral from customers; however, throughout the collection process, it conducts an ongoing evaluation of customers ability to pay. The Companys accounting for its allowance for
doubtful accounts is determined based on historical trends, experience and current market and industry conditions. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the aging of accounts
receivable, the age of each invoice, each customers expected ability to pay and the Companys collection history with each customer. Management reviews invoices greater than 60 days past due to determine whether an allowance is
appropriate based on the receivable balance. In addition, the Company maintains a reserve for all other invoices, which is calculated by applying a percentage to the outstanding accounts receivable balance, based on historical collection trends as
well as specifically identified accounts that are deemed uncollectible, if any. In addition to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company maintains a billing allowance which represents the reserve for potential billing adjustments that are
recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Companys accounting for billing allowance represents a percentage of revenue based on historical trends and experience.



The allowance for doubtful accounts and billing allowance represent managements best current estimate, but changes in circumstances
relating to accounts receivable and billing adjustments, including unforeseen declines in market conditions and collection rates and the number of billing adjustments, may result in additional allowances or recoveries in the future. The Company
believes that it has adequately reserved for doubtful accounts and potential billing adjustments as of the date of each balance sheet presented herein.



As of June 30, 2005, one single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2004, one single customer accounted for
more than 10% of the Companys total accounts receivable. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, one single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenue during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2004,
no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during the period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during each of the periods. For the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the ten largest customers accounted for approximately 39% and 35% of total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the ten largest customers accounted for approximately 37% and 34% of
total revenue, respectively.

The Company classifies all of its short-term investments as available-for-sale. These
investments mature in two years or less, and consist of investment-grade corporate and government debt securities and issuances and auction rate securities with Moodys ratings of A2 or better. Investments classified as available-for-sale are
recorded at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded based on specific identification.
There were no realized gains or losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Company considers all highly liquid investments held at major banks, commercial paper, United States government agency discount notes, money market mutual funds and
other money market securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The following table summarizes the Companys short-term investments in investment-grade debt securities as of June 30, 2005 (in thousands):

(8) Net Income Per Share



Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number
of outstanding shares of common stock summarized below. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, potential shares from options to purchase common stock using
the treasury stock method.



The following table sets forth the computation of
basic and diluted income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The following potential shares of common
stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been antidilutive (in thousands):

The weighted-average exercise price
per share of excluded outstanding stock options was $20.65 and $40.65 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and $25.52 and $38.38 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June
30, 2004, dilutive potential common shares outstanding reflected all shares issuable under the Companys stock option plan. As of June 30, 2005, there is no restricted stock outstanding.



(9) Acquisitions



On February 1, 2005, the Company acquired Hudson Williams Europe (HWE), a privately held e-business performance consulting firm
based in the Netherlands, for a purchase price of approximately $260,000 plus direct transaction costs of $131,000. An initial cash payment of approximately $210,000 was made to HWE as of the closing date. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement,
approximately $50,000 of the purchase price is being held back and will be released on January 31, 2006. An additional contingent consideration cash payment of up to approximately $130,000 will be made if profitability targets were achieved by HWE
through June 30, 2005. The Company is evaluating the profitability achieved by HWE through June 30, 2005, and expects to determine if the profitability targets were achieved during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2005. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2005, the Company updated the amount representing net assets of HWE as of the acquisition date, resulting in an adjustment to certain working capital amounts acquired of approximately $16,000. This adjustment has been recorded as a decrease
to cash and increase in goodwill. The Company believes that this acquisition will provide its European customers the same range of management solutions that it has been offering in North America. The purchase price allocation was based on the
estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date, including customer-based intangible assets acquired. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the
date of acquisition (in thousands):

In September 2004, the Company
acquired Vividence Corporation (Vividence), a provider of web-based customer experience management for an initial cash payment of $20.0 million plus direct transaction costs of $572,000. The initial purchase price of $20.0 million,
payable in cash, was reduced by approximately $400,000 which represented the preliminary difference between Vividences total assets and liabilities (net assets) as of the acquisition date after certain adjustments as defined in the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated September 10, 2004. In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company and the Shareholders Representative of Vividence finalized the amount representing the net assets as of the acquisition date,
resulting in a final net asset shortfall of approximately $38,000. This reduction in the purchase price has been recorded as a reduction of goodwill. An additional contingent consideration payment of up to $6.0 million in cash could be made if
certain revenue and profitability targets are achieved by the acquired business through September 30, 2005. The Company believes that this acquisition will enhance and broaden its customer experience management solutions for enterprise customers as
well as allow it to target e-business marketing executives within Fortune 500 companies such as usability and market research managers. The Company and the Shareholders Representative of the former shareholders of Vividence are working with a
third party tax consultant in resolving several pre-acquisition sales and use tax matters. Any payment, if the tax matter is resolved by September 2005, would be the subject to a claim against the escrow by the Company. Based on its preliminary
analysis, the Company believes that the matter will be resolved by September 2005 for a range between $350,000 to $750,000, although there can be no assurance as to the final outcome. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has prepaid approximately
$114,000 in liabilities primarily related to pre-acquisition sales and use tax matters and pre-acquisition income tax matters, for which the Company has submitted claims against the escrow.



The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on the estimated fair value of the assets
and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date, including technology-based and customer-based intangible assets acquired. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, total net adjustments of $201,000 were made to the fair value of net assets acquired
and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. For the three months ended December 31, 2004, net adjustments totaled $239,000. This reduction in prepaid and other assets combined with the decrease in purchase price and liabilities assumed had
the net impact of increasing goodwill. The following table summarizes the

The in-process research and
development expense of $241,000 is related to the estimated fair value of an acquired in-process research and development project in connection with the acquisition of Vividence. This project is related to Vividences technology for its
web-based customer research, which had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The estimated fair value of this project was determined based on the avoided cost approach as of the acquisition date where the fair
value of the acquired technology was equal to the costs which an acquirer would avoid spending in developing a similar functional technology. This amount was immediately expensed as of the acquisition date during the three months ended September 30,
2004. This web-based customer research technology became generally available in February 2005.

In April 2004, the Company acquired NetRaker
Corporation (NetRaker), a provider of online customer experience management solutions that help e-business managers measure, evaluate and improve the design and navigability of their websites. The total price of approximately $3.7
million included a $2.6 million initial cash payment made in April 2004, a second payment of approximately $530,000 based on the final calculation of the NetRaker net assets as of the closing date, and approximately $553,000 of direct acquisition
costs. The Company believes this acquisition will enhance and broaden its customer experience management solutions for enterprise customers as well as allow it to target e-business marketing executives within Fortune 500 companies, such as usability
and market research managers.



The preliminary purchase price allocation was
based on the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of the business at the acquisition date, including technology-based and customer-based intangible assets acquired. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated April 2,
2004 (Agreement and Plan), an additional contingent cash payment of up to $7.9 million could be made if certain revenue and profitability targets are achieved by the acquired business during the 12 months ended March 31, 2005. The
Company estimated that a cash payment of approximately $1,667,000 was earned by the acquired business pursuant to the earnout provisions of the Agreement and Plan and recorded this to goodwill as of March 31, 2005. Two of the former stockholders of
Netraker disputed the amounts to be paid under the Agreement and Plan and a settlement agreement was reached subsequent to June 30, 2005, as described in Part II, Item 1 of this quarterly report. As a result of settling this matter prior to the
filing of this report on Form 10-Q, in addition to the earnout payment of $1,667,000 previously recorded to goodwill, the Company was required under GAAP to record those costs associated with the settlement in its financial statements for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Companys previously announced net income of $1,666,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was reduced to $1,235,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, to reflect these costs associated
with the settlement that were not included in goodwill. In addition, Keynote has agreed in principle with its insurance carrier that the legal fees and costs associated with the lawsuit will be partially covered under Keynotes insurance
policies and Keynote expects to receive these amounts during the fourth quarter of its current fiscal year. These amounts will be recorded as a credit to General and Administrative expenses on Keynotes financial statements for the fourth
quarter of its current fiscal year.



An adjustment of $16,000 was made in the
three months ended December 31, 2004 between goodwill and deferred revenue to reflect an adjustment in a contract that was entered into prior to the Companys acquisition of NetRaker. The following table summarizes the revised estimated fair
value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

In January 2005, pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement dated July 22, 2003, an additional contingent cash payment of approximately $128,000 was made to Candescent Software Inc. (Candescent) based on the achievement of certain revenue and profitability targets attained by
the purchased business, Streamcheck. This additional payment was recorded as an addition to goodwill as of September 30, 2004.

(10) Income Taxes



The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was
7.0% and 8.0%, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 6.7% and 8.0%, respectively.



On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA includes a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. The Company may elect to apply this provision to qualifying earnings repatriations in the future. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and requirements, including adoption of a specific domestic
reinvestment plan for the repatriated funds. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation
Act of 2004. FSP 109-2 provides additional time to companies beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effects of the AJCA on their plans for repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the repatriation provisions of AJCA, which if implemented, would affect its tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities. This analysis is expected to be completed
by the end of the fiscal year; therefore, it is not possible at this time to determine the amount, if any, that may be repatriated or the related potential income tax effects of such repatriation.

Rent expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $117,000 and $67,000, respectively. Rent expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $357,000 and $169,000, respectively.



(B) Commitments



The Company has contingent commitments to 116 bandwidth and collocation providers amounting
to $672,000 for 107 locations that represent one to eleven month commitments. The commitments become due if the Company terminates any of these agreements prior to their expiration. At present, the Company does not intend to terminate any of these
agreements prior to their expiration.



(C) Legal Proceedings



Beginning on August 16, 2001, several class action lawsuits were filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its officers, and the underwriters of its initial public offering. These lawsuits were essentially identical, and were brought on behalf of those
who purchased the Companys securities between September 24, 1999 and August 19, 2001. These complaints alleged generally that the underwriters in certain initial public offerings, including the Companys, allocated shares in those initial
public offerings in unfair or unlawful ways, such as requiring the purchaser to agree to buy in the aftermarket at a higher price or to buy shares in other companies with higher than normal commissions. The complaint also alleged that the Company
had a duty to disclose the activities of the underwriters in the registration statement relating to its initial public offering. The plaintiffs counsel and the issuer defendants counsel have reached a preliminary settlement agreement
whereby the issuers and individual defendants were dismissed from the case, without any payments by the Company. The settlement was preliminarily approved and awaits final approval by the Court. No amount is accrued as of June 30, 2005 and September
30, 2004, as the Company anticipates that it will be dismissed from the case as a result of the settlement.



On February 15, 2005, individuals George A. Papazian and Douglas K. van Duyne filed the action Papazian, et al. v. Keynote Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. CIV 444884 in Superior Court of San Mateo County against the
Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Umang Gupta. The complaint asserted claims of fraud, breach of contract, and unfair business practices against Keynote and fraud against Mr. Gupta in connection with the Companys April 2, 2004
acquisition of Netraker Corporation. The complaint also alleged that the Company precluded plaintiffs from maximizing their earn-out under the terms of the acquisition agreement. The complaint sought rescission of the agreement, unspecified monetary
and punitive damages, and equitable relief in the form of restitution and disgorgement of any profits. On March 28, 2005, the Company and Mr. Gupta demurred to the complaint and moved to strike portions thereof. Plaintiffs initiated the lawsuit with
allegations in good faith. The parties have resolved the case on a mutually satisfactory basis. Based on the facts developed through investigation and discovery, plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss all claims, including the fraud allegations. The
matter was settled pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement between the parties on July 25, 2005.



The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the
ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(12) Stock Repurchase Program



The Companys Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase shares of its common stock in January 2001. Pursuant to the stock
repurchase program, a total of 11.4 million shares had been repurchased as of June 30, 2005, for approximately $101.8 million.



On January 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with UBS Securities LLC (UBS) to establish a trading plan (the Trading Plan) intended
to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Trading Plan instructs UBS to repurchase for the Company, in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, up to 2 million shares of the
Companys common stock, representing approximately 10% of the Companys outstanding common stock, over a period of twelve months commencing as early as March 1, 2005. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
repurchased approximately 826,000 and 1,026,000 shares for $9.4 million and $11.7 million, respectively, in connection with purchases in the open market. In April 2005, the Company retired 200,000 shares of treasury stock repurchased under the
provisions of the Trading Plan. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock.



As of June 30, 2005, the Company had authorization to repurchase up to approximately $28.2 million of its common stock pursuant to this stock repurchase program.

(13) Geographic and Segment Information



The Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable
operating segment: the development and sale of services to measure, test, assure and improve the quality of service of web sites. While the Company operates under one operating segment, management reviews revenue under two categories 
performance measurement services revenue (measurement services) and performance management solutions revenue (management solutions). Management continues to allocate resources based on the one operating segment.



The following table identifies which services fall under measurement services and
management solutions and where they are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations listed in alphabetical order:

Pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which eliminates the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.
SFAS No. 153 will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on its financial position, cashflows, or
results of operations.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



The following information should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.



Except for historical information, this Form 10-Q 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. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our anticipated
costs and expenses and revenue mix. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements including the words expect, anticipate, intend, believe and similar language. Our actual results
may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and in our annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, in the section Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFactors That May Impact Future Operating Results and elsewhere in that report. You
should also carefully review the risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K that we may file during the
current year. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking
statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.



Overview



We offer e-business performance measurement services
(measurement services) and performance management solutions (management solutions) that enable corporate enterprises to measure, monitor, test and tune, diagnose and optimize their e-business systems both inside and outside
the firewall. Keynotes services enable enterprises to increase return on investment, save money and efficiently link information technology resources to e-business goals. Our solutions are comprised of three broad areas: customer experience
management (CEM), service level management (SLM) and web monitoring and measurement which include a broad portfolio of cost-effective measurement, monitoring, performance management, load testing, content quality testing and usability testing
services. Our customer experience management and service level management services comprise our management solutions. Our web monitoring and measurement services represent our measurement services. Keynotes goal is to empower customers to
deliver an optimal experience to end-users and to gain competitive advantage, while helping them reduce unnecessary capital expenditures and leverage enterprise management software they already own.



Revenue consists of subscription services revenue and professional services revenue.
Subscription services revenue consists of fees from subscriptions to our Internet measurement, monitoring, testing, customer experience, diagnostic and WebEffective Intelligence Platform services. Subscription services revenue is deferred upon
invoicing and is recognized ratably over the service period, commencing on the day service is first provided, generally ranging from one to twelve months. For some customers, subscription services revenue is invoiced monthly upon completion of the
services. Revenue related to the use of our WebEffective Intelligence Platform is accounted for as either subscription services revenue or professional services revenue depending upon its use. If a customer purchases a subscription to our
WebEffective Intelligence Platform, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period, commencing on the day service is provided and such revenue is recorded as subscription services revenue. If the WebEffective Intelligence Platform is used
to conduct evaluations on consulting engagements, we recognize revenue upon the completion of the evaluation and record such revenue as professional services revenue. Deferred revenue is comprised of all unearned revenue that has been collected,
primarily unearned subscription services revenue, and is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet until the revenue is earned. Any uncollected deferred revenue is offset against accounts receivable on our balance sheet. As of June 30, 2005,
we had recorded approximately $7.1 million of deferred revenue. We do not generally grant refunds. All discounts granted reduce revenue. Revenue is not recognized during free trial periods. For most consulting engagements that span more than one
month, revenue is recognized as milestones or deliverables are completed. A majority of our subscription services revenue comes from our e-business performance measurement services, which include our Perspective services. Subscription services
revenue also includes our Red Alert and NetMechanic monitoring and alarm services, Test Perspective, WebEffective Intelligence Platform, performance management subscription services, our private agent and application performance management services.
Our customers purchase these services for an initial term of three to twelve months and then may renew on an annual, semi-annual, or month-to-month basis. Subscription services fees can vary based on the number of URLs measured, the number of
devices monitored, the number of measurement locations, the number of users, the number of hours, the frequency of the measurements, the number of private agents, the additional features ordered, and the type of services purchased.



On August 8, 2005, Keynote issued a press release announcing that on July 25, 2005 it had
entered into a confidential settlement agreement with two former stockholders of Netraker Corporation. They disputed the amounts to be paid under the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated April 2, 2004 and a settlement agreement was reached
subsequent to June 30, 2005, as described in Part II, Item 1 of this quarterly report. As a result of settling this matter prior to the filing of this report on Form 10-Q, and in addition to the earnout payment of $1.7 million previously recorded to
goodwill, the Company was required under GAAP to record those costs associated with the settlement in its financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Companys previously announced net income of $1,666,000, or $0.08 per
diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was reduced to $1,235,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, to reflect those costs associated with the settlement that were not included in goodwill. In addition, Keynote has agreed in principle with
its insurance carrier that the legal fees and costs associated with the lawsuit will be partially covered under Keynotes insurance policies and Keynote expects to receive these amounts during the fourth quarter of its current fiscal year.
These amounts will be recorded as a credit to General and Administrative expenses on Keynotes financial statements for the fourth quarter of its current fiscal year. As a result, Keynote now expects that diluted earnings per share will be
between $0.07 and $0.10 per share for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, as compared to its previously announced guidance of between $0.06 to $0.08 per share.



We offer our professional services on a per engagement basis. Professional services revenue
amounted to approximately 25% and 10% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Professional services revenue amounted to approximately 26% and 9% of total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively. We believe that professional services revenue may increase somewhat in the future as a percentage of total revenue, as our existing professional services become more widely used, as a result of the acquisitions of NetRaker,
Hudson Williams, Vividence and Hudson Williams Europe in late 2004 and early 2005 and as we introduce additional services that require consulting expertise. However, we cannot assure you that this revenue will increase in absolute dollars in future
periods.



We had total revenue of approximately $13.5 million and $10.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We achieved net income of approximately $1.2 and approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We had total expenses of approximately
$13.0 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We had total revenue of approximately $40.2 million and $30.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We achieved net
income of approximately $3.0 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and the comparative period in 2004. We had total expenses of approximately $39.3 million and $28.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively. The increase in total expenses was mainly attributable to increased personnel costs related to the acquisitions of NetRaker, Hudson Williams, and Vividence in the second half of fiscal 2004 and higher spending on legal fees and
accounting and audit fees, mainly attributable to the increasing cost of compliance requirements. The increase in total expenses for the nine month period was offset by a $485,000 reduction in personnel expenses related to a reduction in the
required incurred but not reported claims reserve associated with our previous medical program that was partially self-funded by us. This partially self-funded medical program was terminated in March 2004, and we currently have a fully insured
medical program. Our revision of the estimated incurred but not reported claims reserve was based on claims information provided by the previous insurance provider. As of June 30, 2005, we have received confirmation from our former insurance
provider that the claims period has expired.



As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, one
single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total accounts receivable. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, one single customer accounted for slightly more than 10% of total revenue during the period. For the three months ended June 30,
2004, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during the period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for each of the periods. For the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 39% and 35% of total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 37% and 34% of
total revenue, respectively. We cannot be certain that customers that have accounted for significant revenue in past periods, individually or in aggregate, will renew our services and continue to generate revenue in any future period. In addition,
our customers that have monthly renewal arrangements may terminate their services at any time with little or no penalty. If we lose a major customer or a group of significant customers, our revenue could decline.



Costs of subscription services consist of connection fees to major telecommunication and
internet access providers for bandwidth usage of our measurement computers, which are located around the world, depreciation, maintenance and other equipment charges for our measurement and data collection infrastructure.



Costs of professional services consist of compensation expenses and related costs for
professional services personnel, external consulting costs to deliver our professional services revenue, panel and reward costs associated with our WebEffective Intelligence Platform services, all load-testing bandwidth costs and related network
infrastructure costs.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that the challenges for our business include 1) increasing both management solutions and measurement services
revenue by generating organic revenue growth from current services we acquired or developed internally, 2) integrating and realizing anticipated benefits of our prior acquisitions and any acquisitions that may occur in the future and 3) continuing
to control our expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.



In addition to
analyzing revenue for subscription services and professional services, management also internally analyzes revenue categorized as measurement services and management solutions.



The following table identifies which services are categorized as measurement services and management solutions and where they are recorded
in our condensed consolidated statements of operations listed in alphabetical order):

Management solutions revenue increased by approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared
to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Management solutions revenue represented 45% and 34% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Management solutions revenue increased by approximately $9.2 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Management solutions revenue represented 46% and 31% of total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in
management solutions revenue as listed in descending order of impact, was mainly attributable to our acquisitions of Vividence in September 2004 and NetRaker in April 2004, as well as increases in revenue from our Enterprise Solutions.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



In preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, our management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We believe that the estimates, judgments and
assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual
results, our financial statements will be affected. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.



Our critical accounting policies and estimates are of both a routine and non-routine nature.
The recurring policies relate to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts and billing allowance, goodwill impairments, and accounting for income taxes. The non-routine policy relates to the valuation of our long-lived assets
including purchased intangibles.



Revenue Recognition



Substantially all of our revenue is derived from three sources: (1)
subscriptions to our monitoring and measurement services, otherwise known as subscription revenue, (2) subscription for the use of our technology for our WebEffective Intelligence Platform which, depending on its use, is also recorded as either
subscription or professional services revenue, and (3) providing professional services including all consulting services and other miscellaneous items.



We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21, Statement of Position
(SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, where
applicable. We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) service has occurred or milestone or deliverable has been completed, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4)
collectibility is probable.



One of the critical judgments we make is the
assessment that collectibility is probable. Our recognition of revenue is based on our assessment of the probability of collecting the related accounts receivable balance on a customer-by-customer basis considering past payment history
and credit history. The timing or amount of revenue recognition may have been different if different assessments of the probability of collection had been made at the time the transactions were recorded in revenue. In cases where collectibility is
not deemed probable, revenue is recognized at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.



We recognize our subscription services revenue, which is generally deferred upon invoicing, ratably over the service period, generally ranging from one to twelve months.
For some customers, subscription services revenue is invoiced monthly upon completion of the services. Revenue related to the use of our WebEffective Intelligence Platform is accounted for as either subscription services revenue or professional
services revenue depending upon its use. If a customer purchases a subscription to our WebEffective Intelligence Platform, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period, commencing on the day service is provided and such revenue is
recorded as subscription services revenue. If the WebEffective Intelligence Platform is used to conduct evaluations on consulting engagements, we recognize revenue upon the completion of the evaluation and record such revenue as professional
services revenue. We do not generally grant refunds. All discounts granted reduce revenue. Revenue is not recognized for free trial periods.



We recognize our professional services revenue ratably as the services are performed, typically over a period of one to three months. For most consulting engagements that
span more than one month, we generally recognize revenue as milestones or deliverables are completed.



Deferred revenue is comprised of all unearned revenue that has been collected in advance, primarily unearned subscription services revenue and is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet until the revenue is
earned. Any uncollected deferred revenue reduces the balance of accounts receivable.



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Allowance



Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and billing allowance of approximately $534,000, or 6% of total accounts receivable, and approximately $758,000, or 11% of total
accounts receivable, as of June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in our allowance for doubtful accounts and billing allowance is primarily due to improved experience rates associated with customer write-offs and billing
adjustments.



Our accounting policy for our allowance for doubtful accounts is
determined based on historical trends, experience and current market and industry conditions. We regularly review the adequacy of our accounts receivable allowance after considering the age of each invoice of the accounts receivable aging, each
customers expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review invoices greater than 60 days past due to determine whether an allowance is appropriate based on the receivable balance. In addition, we maintain a
reserve for all other invoices, which is calculated by applying a percentage, based on historical collection trends, to the outstanding accounts receivable balance as well as specifically identified accounts that are deemed uncollectible.



Billing allowance represents the reserve for potential billing adjustments
that are recorded as a reduction of revenue and represents a percentage of revenue based on historical trends and experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts and billing allowance represent managements best estimate, but changes in
circumstances relating to accounts receivable and billing adjustments, including unforeseen declines in market conditions and collection rates and the number of billing adjustments, may result in additional allowances in the future or reductions in
allowances due to future recoveries or trends.



Impairment
Assessments of Goodwill and Identifiable Purchased Intangibles



Our
methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to acquisitions is usually determined based on valuations performed by an independent third party. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of acquisition over the sum of the amounts
assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed.



We perform
goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis, and between annual tests in certain circumstances for our single reporting unit. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:



| |  |  | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy of our overall business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our market capitalization relative to net book value
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

We performed an annual impairment review during the fourth quarter in both fiscal 2003 and 2004. We did not record an
impairment charge based on our reviews. If our estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge on goodwill to reduce its carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The goodwill recorded
on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $26.5 million as compared to $24.4 million as of September 30, 2004.



Valuation of Long Lived Assets



We evaluate the recoverability of fixed assets and identifiable purchased intangible assets other than goodwill whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of any such asset group may not be fully recoverable. Changes in circumstances include economic conditions or operating performance. Our evaluation is based upon assumptions about the estimated future
undiscounted net cash flows from such asset groups. Management continually applies its judgment when performing these evaluations to determine the timing of the testing, the undiscounted net cash flows used to assess recoverability and the fair
value of the asset group. If future events or circumstances indicate that an impairment assessment is required and an asset group is determined to be impaired, our financial results could be materially and adversely impacted in future periods.



Accounting for Income Taxes



We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we
operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax liabilities, including the impact, if any, of additional taxes resulting from tax examinations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of
items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to
the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement
of operations.



Significant management judgment is required in determining our
provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. At present, our deferred tax assets have been offset by a full valuation allowance because of our history
of losses through fiscal 2003, previously limited number of profitable quarters and the impact of acquisitions on our quarterly results. As the company has demonstrated profitability in eight of its most recent quarters, the company has begun
determining to what extent some or all deferred tax assets that were previously offset by a valuation allowance are realizable. To the extent any of these tax assets are realizable a positive adjustment to fourth quarter earnings will be made.



We establish liabilities or reserves when we believe that certain tax
positions are likely to be challenged and we may not succeed, despite our belief that our tax returns are fully supportable. We adjust these reserves, as well as related interest, in light of changing circumstances such as the progress of tax exams.



Results of Operations



The following table sets forth, as a percentage of total revenue, certain condensed
consolidated statements of operations data for the periods indicated. All information is derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. The operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for
any future period.

Our net income decreased by $259,000, from net income of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
2004 to net income of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Total revenue increased by approximately $2.8 million or 26%, from approximately $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to approximately $13.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Total expenses increased by approximately $3.2 million or 33%, from approximately $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to approximately $13.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2005.



Our net income decreased by $307,000, from a net income of
approximately $3.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 to a net income of approximately $3.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. Total revenue increased by approximately $10.0 million or 33%, from approximately $30.3 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 to approximately $40.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. Total expenses increased by approximately $10.7 million or 37%, from approximately $28.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004
to approximately $39.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in total expenses for the three and nine month period was mainly attributable to increased personnel costs related to the acquisitions of Vividence, NetRaker, and
Hudson Williams in the second half of fiscal 2004 and higher spending on legal, accounting and audit fees mainly attributable to the increasing cost of compliance requirements and the settlement of the NetRaker lawsuit. The increase in total
expenses for the nine month period was offset by a $485,000 reduction in personnel expenses related to our estimate of the required reserve needed for incurred but not reported claims associated with our previous medical program that was partially
self-funded by us. The claims period expired in the Companys third fiscal quarter. We currently have a fully insured medical program. As of June 30, 2005, we have received confirmation from our former insurance provider that the claims period
has expired.



We anticipate that total expenses for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2005 will decrease slightly when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 due to the fact that the third quarter included the costs associated with the NetRaker litigation settlement and we expect the fourth quarter to include insurance
proceeds associated with the settlement.

Subscription Services. Revenue from
subscription services increased $380,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. The increase in subscription services revenue was mainly attributable to increases in our subscription based management
solutions services. This increase, as listed in descending order of impact, was mainly from sales of our WebEffective Intelligence Platform services due to our acquisition Vividence in September 2004, our Transaction Perspective and our Application
Perspective services, offset by a decrease in sales of our Website Perspective services. Revenue from subscriptions services increased approximately $2.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The
increase in subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004, as listed in descending order of impact, was mainly from increased sales of our WebEffective Intelligence Platform services, our
Transaction Perspective services, our Application Perspective, our Enterprise Solutions and our Wireless Perspective services. The increases were offset by decreases in sales of our Website Perspective and Network Perspective Services. At the end of
June 30, 2005, we measured for revenue 9,247 page measurements or URLs, and 7,614 internet-connected devices. At the end of June 30, 2004, we measured for revenue 7,822 URLs and 7,641 internet-connected devices.



Professional Services. Revenue from professional services increased approximately $2.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. Revenue from professional services increased approximately $7.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared with the same period in 2004.
The increase in professional services revenue was primarily due to increased contribution from our WebEffective Intelligence Platform services due to our recent acquisitions of NetRaker and Vividence. Because our professional services are provided
on a per engagement basis, revenue depends on the number of engagements and the size of such engagements. As a result, professional services revenue is less predictable than subscription services revenue and may vary from period to period.

Costs of Subscription Services. Costs
of subscription services increased $82,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004 and represented 13% of subscription services revenue for each of the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Costs of subscriptions services decreased $62,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004 and represented 13% and 15% of subscription services revenue for the nine months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease was due to reduced costs for bandwidth, partially offset by costs associated with our NetRaker and Vividence acquisitions.



Costs of Professional Services. Costs of professional services increased approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005
as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004, and represented 61% and 95% of professional services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in costs of professional services for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to additional personnel and consulting costs from our acquisitions of Hudson Williams in July 2004, Vividence in September 2004, and Hudson Williams Europe
in February 2005. Costs of professional services increased approximately $4.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004, and represented 66% and 85% of professional services revenue for
the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in costs of professional services for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to additional personnel and
consulting costs from the acquisitions described above.

Research and development expenses
consist primarily of compensation and related costs for research and development personnel. Research and development expenses remained consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 due to
personnel reductions in our first and second quarters offset by headcount increases from acquisitions. Research and development expenses increased $778,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal
2004. For the comparable nine month periods, the increase in research and development expenses was mainly attributable to additional personnel costs as a result of our acquisitions of NetRaker, Hudson Williams, and Vividence in the second half of
fiscal 2004. To date, all research and development expenses have been expensed as incurred. We believe that research and development expenses in absolute dollars for the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2005 are expected to be comparable to the third
quarter of fiscal 2005.

Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel, lead-referral fees, marketing programs and travel expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses increased $518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as
compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 was mainly attributable to additional personnel costs as a result of our acquisitions
of Hudson Williams, and Vividence in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Our sales and marketing expenses increased approximately

$2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. The increase
for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 was mainly attributable to additional personnel costs as a result of the acquisitions of Hudson Williams and Vividence as well as the acquisition of
Netraker, which occurred in April 2004. We believe that sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 will increase slightly compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 due to additional sales personnel
costs and increased spending on marketing programs.

Operations expenses consist primarily
of compensation and related costs for management and technical support personnel who manage and maintain our field measurement and collection infrastructure and headquarters data center, and provide basic and paid for customer support during the
business day. Our operations personnel also work closely with other departments to assure the reliability of our services and to support our sales and marketing activities. Our operations expenses increased $251,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to additional personnel costs as a result of our
acquisitions of Hudson Williams and Vividence in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Our operations expenses increased $510,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. The increase for the nine
months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 was primarily attributable to additional personnel costs as a result of our acquisitions of NetRaker, Hudson Williams, and Vividence in the second half of fiscal 2004.
We believe that operations expenses in absolute dollars for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 will remain comparable to the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

|General and administrative          |  | $              | 5,986 |      | $ | 3,591    |  | 67 | %



General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, accounting, legal and administrative expenses, insurance, professional service fees and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1,146,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2,395,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was
primarily attributable to increased costs for corporate governance, compliance requirements, legal fees, audit work, the NetRaker litigation settlement and temporary personnel costs. We believe that general and administrative expenses for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2005 will decrease when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 due to the fact that the NetRaker litigation settlement is included in the third quarter and the insurance proceeds are expected in the fourth quarter and to
lower temporary personnel costs and the absence of the NetRaker settlement.

Excess occupancy costs are fixed
expenses associated with the portion of our headquarters building not occupied by us, such as property taxes, insurance, and depreciation. These particular expenses are reduced by the rental income from the sublease of space in our
headquarters building. Rental income from the sublease of space has increased in recent periods. The costs are based on the actual unoccupied square footage, which was 60% and 70% of the total rentable square footage of the headquarters
building for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

|Amortization of identifiable intangible assets |  | $              | 1,932 |      | $ | 1,154    |  | 67 | %



As of June 30, 2005 and September 30,
2004, we had identifiable intangible assets with a gross carrying value of approximately $17.9 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Amortization of identifiable intangible assets increased by $171,000 mainly due to our recent acquisitions of
NetRaker, Hudson Williams, and Vividence in the second half of fiscal 2004 and Hudson Williams Europe in February 2005 offset partially by intangibles associated with the Companys 2002 acquisition of Net Mechanic becoming fully amortized in
April, 2005. As of June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, the net carrying value of identifiable intangible assets was approximately $4.3 million and $6.1 million, respectively.



We review our identifiable intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.



We expect the
amortization of intangible assets to be $506,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, assuming no additional acquisitions, changes in preliminary purchase price allocations or impairment charges. We expect the remaining carrying value of the
identifiable intangible assets as of June 30, 2005, as listed in the table below, will be fully amortized by February 2009 (in thousands).

fiscal 2004. The increase in interest income and other, net, was primarily attributable to increased investment yields resulting from higher market interest rates earned on our invested cash. Interest income represents interest earned from our cash,
cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

Provision for income taxes decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in fiscal
2004. Provision for income taxes decreased by $73,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 7.0% and 8.0%,
respectively. Our effective tax rate of the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 6.7% and 8%, respectively.



On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJCA) was signed into law. The AJCA includes a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. The Company may elect to apply this provision to qualifying earnings repatriations in the future. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and requirements, including adoption of a specific domestic
reinvestment plan for the repatriated funds. We are currently evaluating the effects of the repatriation provision; we have not yet decided whether, and to what extent, foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to the U.S. might be
repatriated. This analysis is expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal year.

Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments



As of June 30, 2005, we had
approximately $38.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $104.2 million in short-term investments, for a total of approximately $143.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments held at major banks,
commercial paper, United States government agency discount notes, money market mutual funds and other money market securities with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investments consist of investment-grade corporate and
government debt securities and issuances and auction rate securities with Moodys ratings of A2 or better. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term net investments for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 decreased by approximately $5.0 million.
Cash flow from operating activities was approximately $7.4 million, cash flow from investing activities was approximately $28.3 million, and approximately $6.7 million was utilized by the Company in financing activities. The largest uses of cash
from financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 primarily related to the repurchase of approximately 1,026,000 shares of the Companys common stock for a purchase price of approximately $11.7 million. The most significant
uses of cash from investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 were the purchases of property and equipment, of approximately $2.5 million and $739,000 primarily for the purchase of Hudson Williams Europe in February 2005, payment
of the additional purchase consideration to Candescent in January 2005, and additional direct costs associated with our acquisitions of NetRaker, and Vividence in the second half of fiscal 2004.



Cash provided by operating activities



For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $7.4 million which was mainly due to net income, excluding all non-cash amortization and depreciation charges, a decrease in prepaids and other assets of $269,000, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of approximately
$1.7 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $294,000 and decrease in deferred revenue of $643,000. The decrease in prepaids and other assets was mainly attributable to normal monthly amortization. The increase in accounts
receivable was mainly attributable to higher DSO for the period. This increase was due to the fact that management solutions revenue has constituted a larger portion of total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, and a large percentage of
management solutions billings were generated in the last month of the quarter. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses was mainly attributable to decreases in certain personnel costs related accruals such as bonus and benefits and the
$485,000 reduction in the required reserve needed for incurred but not reported claims associated with our previous medical program that was partially self-insured by us. The decrease in deferred revenue was mainly attributable to less consulting
engagements that continued over multiple quarters.



Cash
provided by investing activities



For the nine months ended June 30, 2005,
net cash provided by our investing activities was approximately $28.3 million. We realized a net amount of approximately $31.5 million on the sale of short-term investments. We utilized approximately $2.5 million to purchase property and equipment,
primarily for our production infrastructure, information systems, and tenant improvements associated with space that we have subleased in our headquarters building. We utilized $739,000 of cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 primarily
for the purchase of Hudson Williams Europe in February 2005, payment of the earnout to Candescent in January 2005, and additional direct costs associated with our acquisitions of NetRaker, and Vividence in the second half of fiscal 2004.



Cash used in financing activities



For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, net cash used in our financing activities was
approximately $6.7 million. We received approximately $5.4 million from the issuance of common stock, associated with our employee stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased
approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock for approximately $11.7 million, primarily in connection with purchases in the open market.

Commitments



As of June 30, 2005, our principal commitments consisted of approximately $2.9 million in real property operating leases and equipment
capital and operating leases, with various lease terms, the longest of which expires in April 2015. Additionally, we had contingent commitments to 116 bandwidth and collocation providers amounting to $672,000 in the aggregate for 107 locations
ranging from one to eleven months commitments, which commitments become due if we terminate any of these agreements prior to their expiration. At present, we do not intend to terminate any of these agreements prior to their expiration. We expect to
continue to invest in capital and other assets to support our growth. We expect to make additional capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 million related to our operations and headquarters building for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, absent
any other acquisitions or extraordinary transactions.

As of June 30, 2005, we did not have
any purchase commitments other than obligations incurred in the normal course of business. These amounts are accrued when services or goods are received.



We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the
next 12 months. Factors that could affect our cash position include potential acquisitions, additional stock repurchases, decreases in customers or renewals, or changes in the value of our short-term investments. If, after some period of time, cash
generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or to obtain a credit facility. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these
securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock, and the term of this debt could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution
to our stockholders, and we may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, our business may be harmed.



Off Balance Sheet Arrangements



We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2005.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (the AJCA) was signed into
law. The AJCA includes a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. The Company may elect to apply this provision to qualifying earnings repatriations in the future. The deduction is subject to a
number of limitations and requirements, including adoption of a specific domestic reinvestment plan for the repatriated funds. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance
for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. FSP 109-2 provides additional time to companies beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effects of the AJCA on their
plans for repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the repatriation provisions of AJCA, which if implemented, would affect its tax provision
and deferred tax assets and liabilities. This analysis is expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal year; therefore, it is not possible at this time to determine the amount, if any, that may be repatriated or the related potential income tax
effects of such repatriation.



In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which eliminates the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of
nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material
impact on our financial position, cashflows, or results of operations.



In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, and in March 2005 the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, that addresses the accounting for
share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may
be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. These new rules eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally would require instead that companies recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards
(the fair-value-based method). We are currently reviewing these new rules to determine which fair-valuebased model and transitional provision it will follow upon adoption. The options for transition methods as prescribed in the new
rules include either the modified prospective or the modified retrospective methods. These new rules will be effective beginning our first quarter of fiscal 2006. Although we will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS No. 123R and SAB 107, we
expect the adoption will lead to substantial additional compensation expense and therefore will have a material impact on our results of operations. The accounting impact, had we chosen to apply the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
instead of the recognition provisions under APB Opinion No. 25, is described in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.



Factors That May Impact Future Results



We have incurred in the past and may in the future continue to incur losses, and we may not sustain profitability.



Although we have been profitable since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we experienced
operating losses in each quarterly period since inception through the third quarter of fiscal 2003. We may not be able to sustain operating profitability in the future. As of June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $134.0 million. In
addition, we are required under generally accepted accounting principles to review our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of June 30,
2005, we had approximately $4.3 million of net identifiable intangible assets and



28

##### Table of Contents

approximately $26.5 million of goodwill. If we complete additional acquisitions in the future, we may have additional
goodwill and/or identifiable intangibles and, accordingly, may incur expenses in connection with a write-down of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets due to changes in market conditions as we did in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 when we
recorded an impairment charge for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets of $30.5 million in connection with our acquisitions of Velogic and Digital Content. We believe that our operating expenses could increase as they have in certain past
periods. We also expect in the next fiscal year to have increased expenses due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. As a result, we will need to increase our revenue to sustain profitability. We may not sustain a sequential quarterly increase in
revenue and may never be able to regain our historic revenue growth rates.



Changes in accounting rules could affect our future operating results.



Financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles are subject to interpretation by various governing bodies, including the FASB and the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), who interpret and create appropriate accounting regulations. A change from current accounting regulations could have a significant effect on our results of operations. In December 2004, the FASB issued new guidance that addresses
the accounting for share-based payments, SFAS No. 123R, which will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2006. Although we will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS 123R, we expect the adoption to have a material adverse affect
on our results of operations.



The success of our business depends on
customers renewing their subscriptions for our services and purchasing additional services.



To maintain and grow our revenue, we must achieve and maintain high customer renewal rates for our services. Our customers have no obligation to renew our services and therefore, they could cease using our services at
any time. In addition, our customers may renew for fewer services or at lower prices. Further, our customers may reduce their use of our services during the term of their subscription. We cannot project the level of renewal rates or the prices at
which the customer renews their subscription. Our customer renewal rates and renewal prices may decline as a result of a number of factors, including consolidations in the Internet industry or if a significant number of our customers cease
operations.



Further, we depend on sales to new customers and sales of
additional services to our existing customers. Renewals by existing customers or purchases of our services by new customers may be limited as companies limit or reduce their technology spending in response to uncertain economic conditions. We have
experienced, and may in the future experience, cancellations, non-renewals and/or reduction in service. If we experience reduced renewal rates or if customers renew for a lesser amount of our services, or if customers, at any time, reduce the amount
of services they purchase from us, our revenue could continue to decline unless we are able to obtain additional customers or sources of revenue, sufficient to replace lost revenue. Continued reductions and/or cancellations could also result in our
inability to collect amounts due.



Our quarterly financial results are
subject to significant fluctuations, and if our future results are below the expectations of investors, the price of our common stock may decline.



Results of operations could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. If revenue falls below our expectations, we may not be able to reduce our spending rapidly in
response to the shortfall. Other factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include those described below and elsewhere in this report:



| |  |  | The rate of new and renewed subscriptions to our services during the quarter;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The amount and timing of any reductions by our customers in their usage of our services during the quarter;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to increase the number of web sites we measure and the scope of services we offer for our existing customers in a particular quarter;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to attract new customers in a quarter, particularly larger customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The timing of orders received during a quarter;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to successfully introduce new products and services to offset any reductions in revenue from services that are not as widely used;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The timing and amount of professional services revenue, which is difficult to predict because this is dependent on the number of professional services engagements in any given
period, the size of these engagements, and our ability to continue our existing engagements and secure new engagements from customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The timing and amount of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to changes of our domestic and international operations infrastructure;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The timing and amount, if any, of impairment charges related to potential write-down of acquired assets in acquisitions or charges related to the amortization of intangible assets
from acquisitions; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The timing and amount, if any, of restructuring costs if we are required to further restructure our operations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results
of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. It is possible that in some future periods, our results of operations may be below the expectations of public-market analysts and investors. If
this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline.



We may face
difficulties assimilating our acquisitions and may incur costs associated with any future acquisitions.



We have completed several acquisitions, and as a part of our business strategy we may seek to acquire or invest in additional businesses, products or technologies that we feel could complement or expand our business,
augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. Future acquisitions could create risks for us, including:



| |  |  | difficulties in assimilating acquired personnel, operations and technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | diversion of managements attention from other business concerns;

Our operating results could be harmed if sales of our
e-business performance measurement services decline.



Sales of our
e-business performance measurement services, primarily our Web Site Perspective-Business Edition and Transaction Perspective services, have generated a majority of our total revenue in the past. Therefore, the success of our business currently
depends, and for the immediate future will continue to substantially depend, on sales and renewals of our performance measurement services and performance management solutions. While total revenue has been increasing for the past six quarters, our
measurement services revenue has otherwise experienced declines from historic levels or has not increased significantly. If these revenue trends continue with respect to our measurement services, our operating results could suffer if we are not able
to increase revenues from other services.



Improvements to the
infrastructure of the Internet could reduce or eliminate demand for our Internet performance measurement services.



The demand for our e-business performance measurement services could be reduced or eliminated if future improvements to the infrastructure of the Internet lead companies
to conclude that the measurement and evaluation of the performance of their web sites is no longer important to their business. Because the inherent complexity of the Internet currently causes significant quality of service problems for e-business
companies, we believe that the vendors and operators that supply and manage the underlying infrastructure still look to improve the speed, availability, reliability and consistency of the Internet. If these vendors and operators succeed in
significantly improving the performance of the Internet, which would result in corresponding improvements in the performance of companies web sites, demand for our services would likely decline which would harm our operating results.



The inability of our services to perform properly could result in loss of
or delay in revenue, injury to our reputation or other harm to our business.



We offer complex services, which may not perform at the level our customers expect. We have, in the past, occasionally given credits to customers as a result of past problems with our service. Despite our testing, our existing or future
services may not perform as expected due to unforeseen problems, which could result in loss of or delay in revenue, loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation, increased
insurance costs or increased service costs. In addition, we have acquired, rather than developed internally, some of our services in connection with our acquisitions of companies and businesses. These services may not perform at the level we or our
customers expect.



These problems could also result in tort or warranty claims.
Although we attempt to reduce the risk of losses resulting from any claims through warranty disclaimers and liability-limitation clauses in our customer agreements, these contractual provisions may not be enforceable in every instance. Furthermore,
although we maintain errors and omissions insurance, this insurance coverage may not adequately cover us for claims. If a court refused to enforce the liability-limiting provisions of our contracts for any reason, or if liabilities arose that were
not contractually limited or adequately covered by insurance, we could be required to pay damages.



If we do not continually improve our services in response to technological changes, including changes to the Internet, we may encounter difficulties retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.



The ongoing evolution of the Internet requires us to continually improve
the functionality, features and reliability of our services, particularly in response to offerings of our competitors. If we do not succeed in developing and marketing new services that respond to competitive and technological developments and
changing customer needs, we may encounter difficulties retaining existing customers and attracting new customers. We must also introduce any new services as quickly as possible. The success of new services depends on several factors, including
proper definition of the scope of the new services and timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of our new services. If new Internet, networking or telecommunication technologies or standards are widely adopted or if other technological
changes occur, we may need to expend significant resources to adapt our services to these developments.

We face competition that could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers.



The market for e-business performance measurement services and management solutions is
rapidly evolving. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services that they offer. We face competition from companies that offer software and services with features similar to our services such as Mercury
Interactive, Gomez Advisors, Segue Software, WatchFire and a variety of small companies that offer a combination of testing, market research capabilities and data. While we believe these services are not as comprehensive as ours, customers could
still choose to use these services or these companies could enhance their services to offer all of the features we offer. As we expand the scope of our products and services, we expect to encounter many additional market-specific competitors.



We could also face competition from other companies, which currently do not
offer services similar to our services, but offer software or services related to e-business performance management solutions, such as Webtrends, Omniture, Webside Story and Coremetrics, and free services that measure web site availability. In
addition, companies that sell systems management software, such as BMC Software, CompuWare, CA-Unicenter, HP-Openview, Quest Software, NetIQ, Veritas Precise Software, and IBMs Tivoli Unit, with some of whom we have strategic
relationships, could choose to offer services similar to ours.



In the future,
we intend to expand our service offerings and continue to measure and manage the performance of emerging technologies such as Internet telephony, wireless devices, and wireless fidelity, or WI-FI, networks and, as a result, could face competition
from other companies. Some of our existing and future competitors have or may have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition in similar businesses, and significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and
other resources. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, to adopt more aggressive pricing policies, and to devote substantially more resources to technology and systems
development.



There are many experienced firms that offer computer network and
Internet-related consulting services. These consulting services providers include consulting companies, such as Accenture, as well as consulting divisions of large technology companies such as IBM. Because we do not have an established reputation
for delivering professional services, because this area is very competitive, and because we have limited experience in delivering professional services, we may not succeed in selling these services.



Increased competition may result in price reductions, increased costs of providing our
services and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our business. We may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors.



A limited number of customers account for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of a major customer could harm our operating
results.



Our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 39% and
35% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the ten largest customers accounted for approximately 37% and 34% of total revenue, respectively. We cannot
be certain that customers that have accounted for significant revenue in past periods, individually or as a group, will renew, will not cancel or will not reduce their services and, therefore, continue to generate revenue in any future period. In
addition, our customers that do not have written contracts or that have monthly renewal arrangements may terminate their services at any time with little or no penalty. If we lose a major customer, our revenue could decline.



If we do not complement our direct sales force with relationships with other companies to
help market our e-business performance management solutions, we may not be able to grow our business.



To increase sales of services worldwide, we must complement our direct sales force with relationships with companies to help market and sell our services to their customers. If we are unable to maintain our existing
marketing and distribution relationships, or fail to enter into additional relationships, we may have to devote substantially more resources to the direct sale and marketing of our services. We would also lose anticipated revenue from customer
referrals and other co-marketing benefits. In the past, we terminated relationships with three of our international resellers, and we may be required to terminate other reseller relationships in the future. As a result, we are investing time and
resources in evaluating replacements for these resellers and are committing resources to supplement our direct sales effort in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands through the acquisition of Hudson Williams Europe.



Our success depends in part on the ability of these companies to help market and sell our
services. Our existing relationships do not, and any future relationships may not, afford us any exclusive marketing or distribution rights. Therefore, they could reduce their commitment to us at any time in the future. Many of these companies have
multiple relationships and they may not regard us as significant for their business. In addition, these companies generally may terminate their relationships with us, pursue other relationships with our competitors or develop or acquire products or
services that compete with our services. Even if we succeed in entering into these relationships, they may not result in additional customers or revenue.



We must retain qualified personnel in a competitive marketplace, or we may not be able to grow our business.



We may be unable to retain our key employees, namely our management team and experienced
engineers, or to attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees. Although we, and a number of other technology companies, have implemented workforce reductions, there remains substantial competition for highly skilled employees. In
addition, Vividence had approximately 50 employees, and some of these employees have decided not to continue to work with us. Because the Vividence business is an area in which we have little experience, it will be important for us to retain the key
personnel from this company and we cannot ensure that we will be successful in doing so. Our key employees are not bound by agreements that could prevent them from terminating their employment at any time. If we fail to attract and retain key
employees, our business could be harmed.



If the market does not accept our
professional services, our results of operations could be harmed.



Professional services revenue represented approximately 25% and 10% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and approximately 26% and 9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. We have added to our professional services with our acquisitions of NetRaker Corporation in April 2004, Hudson-Williams Corporation in July 2004, Vividence Corporation in September 2004, and Hudson Williams Europe in February 2005. In
the past, the cost of professional services has, at times, exceeded our professional services revenue. We will also need to successfully market these services in order to increase consulting revenue. Each professional services engagement typically
spans a one- to three-month period, and therefore, it is more difficult for us to predict the amount of professional services revenue recognized in any particular quarter.



The success of our business depends on the continued use of the Internet by business and consumers for e-business and communications.



Because our business is based on providing e-business performance
management solutions, the Internet must continue to be used as a means of electronic business, or e-business, and communications. In addition, we believe that the use of the Internet for conducting business transactions could be hindered for a
number of reasons, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | security concerns including the potential for fraud or theft of stored data and information communicated over the Internet;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inconsistent quality of service, including well-publicized outages of popular web sites;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | delay in the development of enabling technologies or adoption of new standards;

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



Our network infrastructure could be disrupted by a number of different occurrences, which could impair our ability to serve and retain existing customers or attract
new customers.



All data collected from our measurement computers are
stored in and distributed from our operations center, which we maintain at a single location. Therefore, our operations depend upon our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems, most of which are located at our corporate headquarters in
San Mateo, California, which is an area susceptible to earthquakes and possible power outages. Although we have a generator to provide our own source of long-term uninterruptible power, if we experience power outages at our operations center, we
might not be able to promptly receive data from our measurement computers and we might not be able to deliver our services to our customers on a timely basis. Although we believe our main operations are redundant between our San Mateo and Plano,
Texas datacenters, an outage at either center could lead to service interruptions. Therefore, our operations systems are vulnerable to damage from break-ins, computer viruses, unauthorized access, vandalism, fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss,
telecommunications failures and similar events.



Although we maintain insurance
against fires, earthquakes and general business interruptions, the amount of coverage may not be adequate in any particular case. If our operations center is damaged, this could disrupt our services, which could impair our ability to retain existing
customers or attract new customers.



If our computer infrastructure is not
functioning properly, we may not be able to deliver our services in a timely or accurate manner. We have occasionally experienced outages of our service in the past, which have typically lasted no more than a few hours. These outages have been
caused by a variety of factors including electrical distribution equipment malfunctions, operator error, the failure of a back-up computer to operate when the primary computer ceased functioning and power outages due to our previous facilitys
being inadequately equipped to house our operations center. Any outage for any period of time or loss of customer data could cause us to lose customers.



Individuals who attempt to breach our network security, such as hackers, could, if successful, misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our
services. Although in the past, we had a breach of our security through what appears to be unauthorized access to certain data belonging to one of our customers, we have not yet experienced any breaches of our network security or sabotage that has
prevented us from serving our customers. We might be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against, or to alleviate, problems caused by hackers. We may not have a timely remedy against a hacker who is able to breach our
network security. In addition to intentional security breaches, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose us to litigation or to a material risk of loss.



Our measurement computers are located at sites that we do not own or operate, and it could be difficult for us to maintain or repair them
if they do not function properly.



Our measurement computers that we use
to provide many of our services are located at facilities that are not owned by our customers or us. Instead, these computers are installed at locations near various Internet access points worldwide. Although we operate these computers remotely from
our San Mateo, California operations center, we do not own or operate the facilities, and we have little control over how these computers are maintained on a day-to-day basis. We do not have long-term contractual relationships with the companies
that operate the facilities where our measurement computers are located. We may have to find new locations for these computers if we are unable to develop relationships with these companies or if these companies cease their operations as some have
done due to bankruptcies or are acquired. In addition, if our measurement computers cease to function properly, we may not be able to repair or service these computers on a timely basis, as we may not have immediate access to our measurement
computers. Our ability to collect data in a timely manner could be impaired if we are unable to maintain and repair our computers should performance problems arise.



Others might bring infringement claims against us or our suppliers that could harm our business.



In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving
patents and other intellectual property rights. We could become subject to intellectual property infringement claims as the number of our competitors grows and our services overlap with competitive offerings. In addition, we are also subject to
other legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. Any of these claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive and divert managements attention from operating our company. If we become liable
to others for infringement of their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award and to develop noninfringing technology, obtain a license or cease selling the services that contain the infringing intellectual
property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing technology or to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.



Our business will be susceptible to additional risks associated with international operations.



We believe we must expand the sales of our services outside the United States. Although we completed our first international acquisition in
February 2005, to date, we have little experience with direct sales outside the United States, and we may not succeed in these efforts. International sales were approximately 9% and 6% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively. International sales were approximately 8% and 6% of total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We intend to expand the sales of our services by selling directly to certain customers and
through resellers to other customers. Therefore, we expect to continue to commit our resources to expand our international sales and marketing activities. Conducting international operations subjects us to risks we do not face in the United States.
These include:



| |  |  | currency exchange rate fluctuations;

| |  |  | seasonal fluctuations in purchasing patterns;

The Internet may not be used as widely in other countries and the adoption of e-business may evolve slowly or may not evolve at all. As a result, we may not be successful
in selling our services to customers in markets outside the United States.



Our future operating results could be harmed if we are unable to lease a major portion of the space in our corporate headquarters building or if the fair value of this property decreases further.



We currently do not occupy or sublease approximately 60% of our headquarters building in San
Mateo, California. We may be unable to lease all or a part of the available space, and if it is leased, we may not receive sufficiently high rental rates to cover our building operating costs. In addition, we have previously incurred a charge for
the write-down of the building, and, if the real estate market continues to deteriorate, we may incur charges for future write-downs. Any such charge could harm our results of operations.



Compliance with new rules and regulations concerning corporate governance may increase our costs and could harm our business.



The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was signed into law in July 2002, mandated,
among other things, that companies adopt new corporate governance measures and imposes comprehensive reporting and disclosure requirements, thorough reviews and attestations of our internal controls and imposes increased civil and criminal penalties
for companies, their chief executive officers and chief financial officers and directors for securities law violations. In addition, The Nasdaq Stock Market, on which our common stock is listed, has also adopted additional comprehensive rules and
regulations relating to corporate governance. These laws, rules and regulations have increased the scope, complexity and cost of our corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. As a result, we have experienced and expect to continue to
experience increased costs of compliance which could harm our results of operations and divert managements attention from business operations.



Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations require us to include a management assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and
auditor attestation of that assessment in our annual report for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. This effort has required, and continues to require, the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. Although we believe that
our ongoing review of our internal controls will enable us to provide a favorable assessment of our internal controls and for our external auditors to provide their attestation as of September 30, 2005, as required by Section 404, we can give no
assurance that these efforts will be completed on a timely and successful basis. Any failure to complete a favorable assessment and obtain our auditors attestation could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.



We also expect these developments to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to
obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. Further, our board members, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer could face an
increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties as a result of these developments. As a result, we may have difficultly attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers, which would
adversely affect our business.



We have anti-takeover protections that may
delay or prevent a change in control that could benefit our stockholders.



Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:



| |  |  | our stockholders may take action only at a meeting and not by written consent;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our board must be given advance notice regarding stockholder-sponsored proposals for consideration at annual meetings and for stockholder nominations for the election of directors;
and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, our Chief Executive Officer or our President, not by our stockholders.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We have also adopted a stockholder rights plan that may
discourage, delay or prevent a change of control and make any future unsolicited acquisition attempt more difficult. The rights will become exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the rights plan, including the
acquisition of 20% of our outstanding common stock by a person or group. In addition, it is the policy of our board of directors that a committee consisting solely of independent directors will review the rights plan at least once every three years
to consider whether maintaining the rights plan continues to be in the best interests of Keynote and our stockholders. The board may amend the terms of the rights without the approval of the holders of the rights.



Industry consolidation may lead to increased competition and may harm our operating
results.



There has been a trend toward industry consolidation in our
markets for several years. We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or hold their market positions in an evolving industry and as companies are acquired or are unable to continue operations. We believe that industry
consolidation may result in stronger competitors that are better able to compete for customers. This could lead to more variability in operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial
condition. Furthermore, rapid consolidation could also lead to fewer customers, with the effect that loss of a major customer could harm our revenue.

If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our ability to provide accurate financial statements
could be impaired and any failure to maintain our internal controls and provide accurate financial statements could cause our stock price to decrease substantially.



We are in the process of reviewing our internal controls and procedures to satisfy the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, when
and as such requirements become applicable to us. We are continuing to evaluate, and where appropriate, enhance, our written policies and procedures and internal controls. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls as such
standards are modified, supplemented or amended form time to time, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any failure to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls and provide
accurate financial statements would cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease substantially.



Item 3.Qualitative And Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks.



Interest Rate Sensitivity. Our interest income and expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because most of our
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are invested in short-term debt instruments. If market interest rates were to change immediately and uniformly by ten percent (10%) from levels as of June 30, 2005, the interest earned on those cash,
cash equivalents, and short-term investments could increase or decrease by approximately $349,000 on an annualized basis.



Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Derivative Transactions. We have not had any significant transactions in foreign currencies, nor do we have any significant
balances that are due or payable in foreign currencies as of June 30, 2005. We do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



(a) Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 require public companies to maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined to mean a companys controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms. Our chief executive officer and our chief
financial officer, based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for this purpose.



(b) Changes in Internal Controls



There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART IIOTHER INFORMATION



Item 1. Legal Proceedings



Beginning on August 16,
2001, several class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its officers, and the underwriters of its initial public offering. These lawsuits were
essentially identical, and were brought on behalf of those who purchased the Companys securities between September 24, 1999 and August 19, 2001. These complaints alleged generally that the underwriters in certain initial public offerings,
including the Companys, allocated shares in those initial public offerings in unfair or unlawful ways, such as requiring the purchaser to agree to buy in the aftermarket at a higher price or to buy shares in other companies with higher than
normal commissions. The complaint also alleged that the Company had a duty to disclose the activities of the underwriters in the registration statement relating to its initial public offering. The plaintiffs counsel and the issuer
defendants counsel have reached a preliminary settlement agreement whereby the issuers and individual defendants were dismissed from the case, without any payments by the Company. The settlement was preliminarily approved and awaits final
approval by the Court. No amount is accrued as of June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, as the Company anticipates that it will be dismissed from the case as a result of the settlement.



On February 15, 2005, individuals George A. Papazian and Douglas K. van Duyne filed the action Papazian, et al. v. Keynote Systems, Inc., et
al., Case No. CIV 444884 in Superior Court of San Mateo County against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Umang Gupta. The complaint asserted claims of fraud, breach of contract, and unfair business practices against Keynote and fraud
against Mr. Gupta in connection with the Companys April 2, 2004 acquisition of Netraker Corporation. The complaint also alleged that the Company precluded plaintiffs from maximizing their earn-out under the terms of the acquisition agreement.
The complaint sought rescission of the agreement, unspecified monetary and punitive damages, and equitable relief in the form of restitution and disgorgement of any profits. On March 28, 2005, the Company and Mr. Gupta demurred to the complaint and
moved to strike portions thereof. Plaintiffs initiated the lawsuit with allegations in good faith. The parties have resolved the case on a mutually satisfactory basis. Based on the facts developed through investigation and discovery, plaintiffs have
agreed to dismiss all claims, including the fraud allegations. The matter was settled pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement between the parties on July 25, 2005.



The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these
matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

|(1) | The Companys Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase shares of its common stock in January 2001. Pursuant to the stock repurchase program, a total
of 11.4 million shares had been repurchased as of June 30, 2005, for approximately $101.8 million. On January 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with UBS Securities LLC (UBS) to establish a trading plan (the Trading
Plan) intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Trading Plan instructs UBS to repurchase for the Company, in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, up to 2
million shares of the Companys common stock, representing approximately 10% of the Companys outstanding common stock, over a period of twelve months commencing as early as March 4, 2005. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005,
the Company repurchased approximately 826,000 shares for $9.4 million and 1,026,000 shares for $11.7 million, respectively, in connection with purchases in the open market. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase
up to approximately $28.2 million of its common stock pursuant to this stock repurchase program.
