Introduction

Epicor Software Corporation (Epicor or the Company) designs, develops, markets and supports enterprise application software
solutions for use by mid-sized companies, as well as the divisions and subsidiaries of larger corporations worldwide and emerging enterprises, which generally consist of companies with annual revenues under $25 million. The Companys business
solutions are primarily focused on companies or divisions between $10 million and $1 billion in annual revenues. Epicors solutions are designed to help companies focus on their customers, suppliers, partners, and employees, through
enterprise-wide management of resources and information. This collaborative focus distinguishes the Company from conventional enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors, whose primary focus is improving internal business processes and efficiencies.
The Company believes that by automating and integrating information and critical business processes across their entire value chain, enterprises can improve not just their bottom line, but also their top line, allowing them to compete more
effectively in todays increasingly global economy.

The Companys products include back office applications for manufacturing, supply chain,
distribution, retail and financial accounting, as well as front office customer relationship management (CRM) applications for sales, marketing and customer service and support. Epicor also provides industry-specific solutions to a range of vertical
markets including financial services, professional services, industrial machinery, automotive, hospitality and specialty retail. Epicors solutions also focus on the need for increased supply chain visibility and transparency and offer
e-commerce and collaborative portal capabilities that allow companies to further extend beyond the traditional four walls of their enterprise, and further integrate their operations with those of their customers, suppliers and partners.

The Companys products are increasingly developed on and use a service-oriented architecture (SOA), which can help manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and services organizations to more quickly and efficiently respond to changing business requirements and practices. SOA is a modular, standards-based approach to software development and its deployment is designed to provide a more agile
and adaptable application foundation, which can help companies more effectively align their IT resources and enterprise software with their overall business objectives.

The Companys software products incorporate a significant number of features localized to address international
market opportunities, including support for multiple languages, multiple currencies and accounting for global taxation methods.

The Company offers
consulting, training and support services to supplement the use of its software products by its customers. Midmarket companies require cost effective systems that have broad functionality, yet are rapidly implemented, easily adapted and highly
configurable to their unique business requirements.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in November 1987 under the name Platinum Holdings
Corporation. In September 1992, the Company changed its name to Platinum Software Corporation. In April 1999, the Company changed its name to Epicor Software Corporation. The Company has ten active operating subsidiaries worldwide.

As part of its business strategy, the Company has pursued acquisitions to expand its customer base, global product offering and geographic footprint. The acquisitions of
CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc. (CRS) in 2005, Scala Business Solutions N.V. (Scala) in 2004 and ROI Systems, Inc. (ROI) in 2003 are typical of this ongoing strategy.

On December 6, 2005, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired approximately 96% of the outstanding capital stock of CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc. (CRS), a privately held company. The
Company acquired the remaining 4% of the outstanding capital stock of CRS effective December 20, 2005. CRS is a provider of merchandising and point-of sale software solutions, hardware and services to the retail industry. The Company recorded
the acquisition of CRS as a purchase in 2005 and the results of CRSs operations are included in the Companys consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition.

CRS designs, develops, markets and supports software, hardware, and services that assist general merchandise and specialty retail companies in increasing sales,
improving customer service, and reducing operating costs. CRS applications leverage Microsoft® and Java technologies and have over 50,000 in-store systems installed in 32 countries and 10 languages. The CRS acquisition provides existing customers new, complementary product
offerings and creates expanded opportunities in the hospitality and retail vertical, particularly in key international markets through increased marketing, improved sales execution, enhanced viability and worldwide sales and support infrastructure.

On June 18, 2004, Epicor acquired 22,570,851 ordinary shares of Scala Business Solutions N.V. (Scala), a publicly held software company headquartered
in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, by means of an exchange offer made for all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Scala (the Exchange Offer). On July 8, 2004, Epicor acquired 1,096,048 shares of Scala during a subsequent offering period. The
shareholders of Scala received 0.1795 newly issued shares of Epicor common stock and a cash payment of $1.8230 for each Scala ordinary share validly tendered during the initial and subsequent offering period. On July 12, 2004, Epicor purchased
27,452 additional Scala shares on Euronext for a price of $83,500. On August 9, 2005, the Company deposited the funds to buy-out the remaining 461,074 Scala shares not owned by Epicor. Therefore, as of this date the Company became
the legal owner of all outstanding Scala shares. The Company recorded the acquisition of Scala as a purchase in 2004 and the results of Scalas operations are included in the Companys consolidated statement of operations from the date of
acquisition.

Scala designs, develops, markets and supports collaborative enterprise resource planning (ERP) software (iScala) that is used by the
small- and medium-size divisions and subsidiaries of large multinational corporations, as well as by independent stand-alone companies, in developed and emerging markets. Scalas solutions are based on a Web services platform and utilize
Microsoft® technologies. Scalas software and
services support local currencies and accounting regulations, are available in more than 30 languages, and are used by customers in over 140 countries. The Scala acquisition has given the Company a significantly expanded worldwide presence and
synergistic product offerings.

Background

Epicor
designs its products and services primarily for midmarket companies and the divisions and subsidiaries of Global 1000 enterprises, which generally consist of companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $1 billion, and emerging
enterprises, which generally consist of rapidly growing businesses with annual revenues under $25 million. In the past, midmarket companies were underserved by smaller best-of-breed applications or traditional financial and ERP systems
that had originally been designed for larger corporations. These large enterprise systems, though highly functional, were also extremely complex and expensive to purchase, install, integrate and maintain.

Further, the complexity of the infrastructure and ongoing maintenance to support these systems often required a
centralized deployment model. This limited access to critical data to the organizations information technology (IT) department, which then limited timely availability of information to decision makers, managers and key employees. Moreover,
these mostly proprietary systems provided little flexibility or adaptability to the constantly evolving requirements of midmarket companies.

Beginning in
the early 1990s, as Global 1000 companies aggressively invested in information technology to help them streamline and integrate disparate business processes, they created a tremendous demand in their operating subsidiaries and the small to mid-size
enterprise (SME) market for enterprise-wide software applications that integrated business processes and information. Initially, only larger organizations had the technological expertise, budget and ability to support the lengthy implementations
typified by the early solutions.

While SMEs understood the business value of enterprise applications, they lacked the extensive resources required to
implement and support such first-generation solutions. In their quest to boost productivity and profits as well as gain a competitive advantage, mid-sized companies have increasingly turned to integrated application software to automate and link
their business processes. The Company believes that due to the midmarkets unique business constraints of limited budgets and rapid implementation timeframes, best-of-breed solutions and after-market application integrations were
far too complex and costly to be an effective enterprise solution.

As a group, mid-sized companies face tremendous global competitive pressures as they
compete for business against larger corporations, other mid-sized competitors and smaller start-ups. They generally understand the need to remain close to their customers and suppliers, and to make the most effective use of relatively limited
resources. Mid-sized companies frequently demand a quick return on technology investments and require that solutions be affordable not only to acquire and implement, but also to maintain and support throughout their entire operational life span.

With respect to technology, in Epicors experience mid-sized companies are practical
consumers, typically selecting affordable, proven solutions. The last decades dramatic decrease in information technology costs, coupled with a simultaneous increase in computing power, has made key new technologies accessible to this
cost-conscious market. Microsoft Corporation took advantage of increased computing capabilities to develop Microsoft BackOffice®(now the Microsoft Windows Server family), a robust network operating system and scaleable relational database that provides smaller businesses with a sophisticated technology infrastructure previously
accessible only to Global 1000 corporations. Microsoft has quickly become the fastest growing technology platform, attracting midmarket companies with its features, familiarity and ease-of-use.

The recent development of more cost-effective, adaptable and agile infrastructures, such as the emergence of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and technologies like
Microsoft .NET and Web services is also driving increased investment by mid-sized companies in enterprise applications. Unlike monolithic, tightly-coupled systems of the past, SOA and Web services provide the ability to create highly functional
applications through the assembly or collection of loosely-coupled, self-describing business services. This standards-based design approach provides a secure, scalable, unified design framework that allows both developers and information workers to
more easily access, combine and reuse software application functionality. With an SOA, businesses have the ability to more easily and efficiently align their information systems and technology resources, allowing them the ability to respond more
quickly to continually changing business requirements.

Epicors early adoption of Microsoft .NET and Web services technology allows its product
offerings, development and services to leverage the benefits of a SOA and provide growing mid-sized businesses with increased flexibility, inter-operability and cross-platform capability. These capabilities are extremely important as the market for
Enterprise Applications continues to grow worldwide.

According to a December 6, 2006 AMR Research report titled The Enterprise Applications
Global Forecast, 2005-2010,: the market for traditional enterprise application software is seeing its healthiest growth in years. The steady 8% growth through 2010 will be driven by new customers, consolidation projects, add-on
applications across a much wider set of vertical industries, company sizes, and geographic markets. AMR Research also released the Enterprise Resource Planning Spending Report, 2006-2007 in October 2006, which found CIOs from
the U.S. companies surveyed expect an average ERP budget increase of 12.3% in 2007.

Industry Segments and Geographic Information

Epicors reportable operating segments include license fees, consulting, maintenance and other. For the purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, a breakout of the Companys sales by segment is provided in Note 14 of the Notes to

summary of the Companys sales by geographic region is incorporated herein by reference to Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Technology Strategy

The Companys technology
strategy is to develop leading enterprise software applications using industry-standard tools where possible, and to take advantage of leading third-party, industry-standard technologies for database management systems, operating systems, user
interfaces, infrastructure and connectivity (including Internet, intranet and extranet access). As the Company continues to deliver enterprise application solutions, it is increasingly focused on leveraging new technology platforms and standards,
like Web services, which support the integration of computing and communication paradigms as one across multiple devices. For businesses to compete in todays increasingly real-time world, they need to adopt an infrastructure that can integrate
the Internet, wireless, mobile, voice response, and personal digital assistants (PDA) to support business anytime, anywhere. Computing architectures like Microsoft .NET allow Epicor enterprise solutions to continue to transition to
service-oriented architectures (SOA), and support commerce in a distributed computing world.

The Company will continue to focus on leveraging emerging and
industry-standard technologies to provide rapid return on investment and lower overall total cost of ownership for the Companys customers. Today, the Companys core product architecture incorporates the following:

Architecture and Web Services

The Company is increasingly using Web
services to enable its solutions to be integrated with other applications more easily and to support the increased need for collaboration in todays Internet-based world. Web services are self-describing software components that allow the
creation of applications that can be programmed and published over the Web. Since Web services are portable and interoperable and because they are not vendor specific, they are rapidly becoming a standard for integrating disparate systems and
applications. Epicor has standardized its Web services development on the Microsoft .NET Framework. The Companys Clientele CRM.NET, CRS RetailStore, Epicor for Service Enterprises,iScala, Vantage, and Vistaproduct suites
have been architected for Web services. The Epicor Enterprise, iScala, Vantage and Vistasuites further leverage Web services to more easily integrate and securely share information throughout the enterprise and with customers and suppliers.

Open Database Technology

The Company utilizes open
database technology to provide extremely flexible, integrated, enterprise business applications. This open database orientation is based on widely accepted database management systems. The Companys Clientele, CRS, Enterprise, Epicor
for Service Enterprises, iScala, Vantage and Vista product suites use the Microsoft SQL Server relational database management system (RDBMS). The Company has focused the development of its EnterpriseandiScalaproduct lines using
Microsofts industry-standard SQL language as the fundamental database access methodology for both transaction processing and analytics. Vantageand Vistaare designed for either the Microsoft SQL Server platform or Progress
Software Corporations Progress RDBMS. The Companys Clientele suite leverages both the Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server databases. The Companys Avanté, CRS Merchandising and Manage 2000 products
leverage open database technology from IBM Corporation. The Company has chosen these open databases in order to maximize the throughput of its customers transactions, to provide realistic models of business data and to maximize price
performance under the budget and resource constraints typical of its primary market sector.

Advanced Networking/Connectivity

The Companys products are designed to operate on local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), the Internet (including intranets and extranets) as well as
through mobile and remote dial-up connections. The Company supports popular industry-standard networking protocols predominately TCP and HTTP. The Companys connectivity and networking support offers advanced features such as:
(i) concurrent access to data and critical functions for all network users; (ii) a high degree of fault tolerance; (iii) high levels of security  including integration with Microsoft Active Directory; (iv) a wide range of
options for configuring different users on the network; (v) remote access and data processing; and (vi) mobile computing.

Industry Standard User Interfaces

The Company has incorporated numerous features into its user interfaces to simplify the operation of and access to its products. All of the Companys product lines incorporate the popular Microsoft Windows
graphical user interface (GUI). The Companys GUI tools include industry-standard field controls, pull-down menus, tool bars and tab menus that facilitate the use of the software. The Companys products incorporate many of the latest and
most advanced GUI features such as process wizards, cue cards, advanced on-line help and on-line documentation. As the model for distributed computing continues to evolve through the advent of Internet technologies, the Company offers additional
client deployment models, including thin-client, smart-client, browser-based and mobile client access.

Powerful Application Development Tools

The Company provides comprehensive application development, extension and customization capabilities for its Enterprise, Epicor for Service
Enterprises, iScala, Clientele, Avanté, Manage 2000, Vantage, and Vistaproduct lines. To accomplish this, the Company provides extensive, integrated application development environments for these product lines. These customization tools
deliver a complete development environment, enabling a user to make changes ranging from a simple field name change to building an integrated custom application. Although a high degree of customization is supported, the Company attempts to minimize
customization to its products through verticalization, integral business process management, workflow, high functionality and focus on industry best practices.

Technical Architecture Strategy

The Companys technology direction currently embraces the Microsoft.NET
Framework for XML-based Web services, networking architecture, and graphical user interface components. Through .NET, the Company provides comprehensive support for Web services deployment and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). With .NET and
the XML standard for data exchange, Epicor provides increased access to information both within and between organizations  no matter where their offices or employees are located. This technology strategy can enable the Companys
development teams to leverage Microsoft technology, while allowing each product family to continue to utilize the individual databases and development tools appropriate to the requirements of each products target market. As a Microsoft Gold
Certified Partner and an early adopter of .NET platform, and most recently Windows Vista, Epicor is able to leverage its expertise with Microsoft technology to benefit their customers worldwide.

Industry Strategy

Epicor for Your Industry provides focused
solutions, services and application extensions designed specifically for the unique requirements of target industry sectors and vertical markets. Historically, large enterprise application vendors have created vertical industry applications and
practices designed for the Global 1000, in industries such as automotive, retail, government and healthcare. However, for midmarket companies in these industries, these vertical offerings are often too expensive and overly complex for their
requirements. More importantly, many midmarket companies are not necessarily part of a traditional vertical market, but rather have specific processes, best practices and highly specialized functionality that are critical to their success.

Epicor for Your Industrysolutions enable customers to leverage not only a solution tailored to the unique needs of their market, but also focused
industry expertise through the Companys professional services organization. Epicor for Your Industrysolutions are additionally complemented by strategic relationships with key partners to provide product extensions and domain expertise
as part of an integrated, end-to-end solution. Customers can benefit through solutions that are easier to implement, easier to use and require less customization than a horizontal solution.

Epicor for Your Industryincludes Epicor for Service Enterprises, a Microsoft .NET Web services-based enterprise service automation (ESA) solution for the
global midmarket. Epicor for Service Enterprises is designed expressly for midmarket service organizations to streamline business processes, empower them to expand their value chain, grow revenue and drive efficiency benefits to the bottom line.
Whether it is a professional services organization (PSO), embedded service organization (ESO), global development organization (R&D), or software and computer services business, the Company believes that Epicor for Service Enterprises provides a
comprehensive ESA solution that is designed to offer strategic value with a quick return on investment.

and pays royalties to various organizations in connection with the distribution of third-party software and the sale of products that incorporate third-party technologies. In addition, in certain cases, as part of solutions requested by customers of
Avantéand CRS, the Company resells third party computer hardware systems and related peripherals.

Professional Services, Technical
Support and Software Maintenance

The Companys professional services organization provides consulting services, managed services, outsourcing and
hosting services to support the implementation and integration of the Companys software products, as well as education, training and other consulting and programming services. These professional services are rendered on a global basis.
Professional services are generally provided on a time and materials basis, although the Company also provides fixed fee arrangements and occasional arrangements in which customer payments are tied to the

achievement of specific milestones. Fixed fee or milestone-based contracts are based on developing mutually agreed upon project plans, which
clearly define the activities that will be performed and the specific deliverables that will be produced, in accordance with predefined acceptance criteria. The Company believes its professional services, in conjunction with its current and
planned product offerings, facilitates the licensing of technology to customers, stimulates demand for the Companys products and provides a key market differentiator over many of its competitors as a single source vendor.

The Company is committed to providing timely, high-quality technical support, which the Company believes is critical to maintaining customer satisfaction. The Company
provides technical support by offering telephone support, e-mail support, facsimile support and communications through its Web site. Telephone support is available five days a week during normal business hours on a nearly worldwide basis, with
extended hours and emergency support additionally available. The Company also believes customer satisfaction can be maintained by ensuring that its Value Added Resellers (VARs), distributors and authorized consultants are able to effectively provide
front-line technical support and assistance to end users. The Company offers comprehensive training, telephone consultation and product support for its VARs, distributors and authorized consultants. Training courses are available electronically and
in major cities worldwide.

The Companys network of VARs and authorized consultants are required to undergo training and certification procedures
provided by the Company on the use, installation and implementation of the Companys products as a condition of being authorized by the Company to sell its products. The Companys VARs include consulting groups and resellers, the majority
of which provide software and hardware installation, systems integration and consulting services to organizations. The Companys authorized consultants generally are not resellers of the Companys products, but professional firms who offer
implementation services and product support to end users. The Company believes that its authorized consultants are product influencers and are a valuable part of the Companys marketing, sales and distribution efforts.

To support the Companys network of VARs and authorized consultants, the Company provides experienced personnel who are specifically tasked with VAR growth and
support. These individuals are responsible for educating and training the distribution channel, disseminating information, implementing marketing programs and developing regional markets.

The Companys software maintenance programs are the customers sole avenue for product updates and technical support. The annual maintenance fee is generally
based on a percentage of the list price of the software purchased. Customers who subscribe for maintenance receive telephone and technical support, timely information on product enhancements and features and product updates and upgrades. Revenue
from these software maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. The Company provides a warranty for the media on which its products are licensed and also provides a performance warranty on certain products ranging from
three months to one year.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

The Company sells, markets and distributes its products and services worldwide, primarily through a direct sales force as well as through an indirect channel including a network of VARs, distributors and authorized consultants who market
the Companys products on a nonexclusive basis. The Companys products are sold to and used by a broad customer base, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, sports and leisure and service organizations, as well as companies in
technology/software, healthcare, government entities, educational institutions and other sectors. The Company sells its Enterprise, iScala and Vantage solutions through a hybrid channel that includes a direct sales force as well as a
network of VARs. The Company sells its Clientele and Vistasolutions through an internal telesales organization and through a network of VARs. The CRS, Avanté and Manage 2000products are presently sold by direct
sales forces. The Avantéproduct is sold in certain international locations through VARs and distributors. The Companys field sales organizations are generally organized on a geographic basis.

In recognition of global opportunities for its software products, the Company has committed resources to a global sales and marketing effort. The Company has established
subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Hungary, Romania, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and South Africa to further such sales and marketing efforts. The Company sells its products in Europe,
Central and South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East predominately through third-party distributors and dealers.

The Company translates and
localizes certain products, either directly or through outside contractors, for sale in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia.

The Company also provides access to its solutions through application hosting, which allows customers to access the
software over the Internet. Through Epicor Managed Services, customers purchase the infrastructure and system support on a monthly basis through leading global infrastructure providers like Savvis and IBM Corporation. Hosting provides a
deployment alternative to companies who do not want to invest in the hardware, IT personnel or the technology infrastructure necessary to support a premise-based software deployment. By hosting the software through Epicor Managed Services, a
company can free up critical capital resources, both intellectual and monetary, and focus on its core business operations.

Customer and Backlog

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Products are generally shipped as
orders are received or within a short period thereafter and, accordingly, the Company has historically operated with little or no license backlog. Because of the generally short cycle between order and shipment, the Company believes that its
backlog as of any particular date is not significant or meaningful.

Product Development and Quality Assurance

The Company plans to continue addressing the needs of midmarket users of client/server and Web-based enterprise software by continuing to develop high quality software
products that feature advanced technologies. See Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results  Forward Looking Statements  Safe Harbor. The Companys technology strategy is to develop leading business application
software using its own technologies, based on and combined with leading third-party, industry-standard technologies in database management systems, application development tools, operating systems, user interfaces and networks. The Company plans to
use technologies from Microsoft Corporation whenever possible and plans to build technologies based on Microsoft Corporations recommended technical architecture. In particular, the Company believes that it remains an industry leader in
designing and developing products for Microsoft platforms, including the .NET Framework. The Company also believes that it has been a pioneer in the use of browsers and GUIs with integrated business application software. Currently, the Company
continues to pursue applications based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services that can simplify the development, maintenance, deployment and customization of its products.

The Company intends to continue to invest in product development. In particular, the Company plans to continue to (i) develop product enhancements, including
additional functions and features, for its product lines, (ii) increasingly leverage a SOA, Web services and the Microsoft .NET Framework, (iii) develop additional enterprise applications supporting both business-to-business and
business-to-consumer solutions and (iv) develop and/or acquire new applications or modules that build upon the Companys business application strategy. See Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results  Forward Looking
Statements  Safe Harbor.

The Companys technical strategy for its Enterprise, Epicor for Service Enterprises, iScala,
Clientele, CRS, Vantage,andVistasuites of applications is centered on the Microsoft .NET Framework to provide enhanced scalability, flexibility and interoperability. The architecture consists of a multi-tiered, distributed
application model and a comprehensive set of infrastructure and application services. This architecture provides tools, technologies and services to develop highly adaptive applications that support multiple client deployments including
smart-client, browser-based and mobile clients. More importantly, this architecture provides the infrastructure for connecting enterprises through the Internet by leveraging key Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Commerce Server, Microsoft
COM+ (Component Object Model) and Microsoft BizTalk Server, which provide a complete framework for enterprise application integration, electronic commerce and business interoperability through industry leading support for XML Web services. Epicor
believes that it has maintained a leadership position with respect to Web services and .NET. The Company was among the first early adopters invited by Microsoft to work with Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework and participated with Microsoft
in the launch of the Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I.org) to promote standards for interoperability and accelerate the adoption and deployment of Web services. The Company was also the first vendor to release enterprise CRM and ESA
applications fully re-architected for the Microsoft .NET Framework. See Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results  Forward Looking Statements  Safe Harbor.

Rapid technological advances and changes in customer requirements characterize the computer software industry. The Companys future success will depend upon its ability to enhance its current products and develop
and introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments, respond to evolving customer requirements and continue to achieve market acceptance. In particular, the Company believes it must continue to respond quickly to users
needs for broad functionality and multi-platform support and to advances in hardware and operating systems, particularly in the areas of Business Process Management (BPM), On-Demand Business and Collaborative Commerce.

The Companys future business is dependent on the execution of the strategy that is in place to target the
enterprise software needs of mid-sized businesses and the divisions of global enterprises.Any significant delay in shipping new modules or enhancements could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations. In
addition, there can be no assurance that new modules or product enhancements developed by the Company will adequately achieve market acceptance.

Expenditures for software development were $34.1 million, $28.5 million and $24.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Competition

The enterprise business applications software industry is intensely competitive, rapidly changing and
significantly affected by new product offerings and other market activities. A number of companies offer enterprise application suites similar to the Companys product offerings that are targeted at the same markets. In addition, a number of
companies offer best-of-breed, or point solutions, similar to or competitive with a portion of the Companys enterprise business application suite. Some of the Companys existing competitors, as well as a number of new
potential competitors, have larger technical staffs, larger more established marketing and sales organizations, and significantly greater financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that competitors will not develop products that
are superior to the Companys products or that achieve greater market acceptance. The Companys future success will depend significantly upon its ability to increase its share of its target markets and to license additional products and
product enhancements to existing customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations. In addition,
potential customers may increasingly demand that certain of the Companys enterprise systems incorporate certain RDBMS or operating system software offered by competing products, but not currently supported by the Companys products.

The Company believes that it competes in three enterprise business applications markets: emerging enterprises, midmarket enterprises, and divisions of the
Global 1000. The Company defines emerging enterprises as rapidly growing businesses under $25 million in annual revenues. Emerging enterprises generally lack dedicated information technology management resources and require affordable solutions that
do not require a high level of ongoing maintenance and support for their continued operation. Products in this market are principally sold through VARs and telesales persons with the purchasing decision often influenced by professionals providing
consulting services. The Company believes that purchases in this market are primarily influenced by functionality, performance, availability of a Windows-based solution, price and quality. The Company believes it competes favorably with respect to
all of these factors.

The Company competes primarily in the midmarket, which the Company defines as growing enterprises with revenues between $10 million
and $1 billion. Businesses in the midmarket require solutions that provide a more sophisticated level of functionality to effectively manage their business. These businesses require applications that are easy to implement, extend, manage and use, as
well as being affordable. Midmarket enterprises also often lack dedicated information technology management resources and need solutions that do not require a high level of ongoing maintenance and support for their continued operation. The Company
believes that purchases in this market are primarily influenced by functionality, performance, availability of a Windows-based solution, price, quality and customer service. The Company believes it competes favorably with respect to all of these
factors. Increasingly, customers in this market segment are looking for Microsoft SQL Server based solutions and the Enterprise, Epicor for Services Enterprises, iScala, Clientele, CRSandVantage product lines are well positioned to
address this requirement.

The Company also competes for the divisions and subsidiaries of larger Global 1000 corporations, which the Company defines as
enterprises with over $1 billion in annual revenue. Global 1000 companies seeking to deploy a standard business solution across their subsidiary operations have typically been challenged with the total cost of ownership (TCO) of deploying their
corporate level Tier-1 system to operating units which often operate more like midmarket entities. Additionally, localization issues and technical infrastructure problems in remote locations have made Tier-1 global roll-outs cost prohibitive. These
businesses may require a single standardized application that can be deployed worldwide using a low cost decentralized implementation, as opposed to implementing through a centralized infrastructure. At the same time, they require the ability to
roll-up management information on a daily or weekly basis, as well as support drill-down from corporate or regional



18

##### Table of Contents

offices to the underlying data in the subsidiaries as required. The Company believes that purchases in this market are primarily influenced by availability,
high functionality, integration, localization, overall cost of ownership, availability of a Windows-based solution, standardization and a global customer support infrastructure. The Company believes it competes favorably with respect to all of these
factors. Increasingly, customers in this market segment are looking for Microsoft SQL Server based solutions. The Company believes its Enterprise, Epicor for Services Enterprises, iScala, CRSandVantage product lines are well
positioned to address this requirement.

The Company believes it is one of only a few vendors in this market space that is dedicated to providing midmarket
companies and the divisions and subsidiaries of the Global 1000 with comprehensive, integrated enterprise business applications. However, there are competitors from both the high-end and low-end who are attracted to the business opportunity
represented by the midmarket and are beginning to offer complete or partial enterprise business applications to this market. In order to compete in the future, the Company must respond effectively to customer needs in the area of business process
management (BPM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) and incorporate those technologies and application functionality that will meet the challenges posed by competitors innovations. To accomplish this objective, the Company will be
required to continue to invest in enhancing its current products and, when necessary, introduce new products to remain competitive. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to invest in such enhancements or new products,
or introduce such enhancements or new products in a timely fashion or at all.

The Company has a number of competitors that vary in size, target markets
and overall product scope. The Companys primary competition comes from independent software vendors in three distinct groups, including (i) large, multinational ERP vendors that are increasingly targeting mid-sized businesses as their
traditional market becomes saturated, including Oracle Corporation (includes Peoplesoft and J.D. Edwards), and SAP AG, (ii) mid-range ERP vendors, including Infor (includes Geac, Mapics, SSA, Symix and Systems Union), Lawson Software Inc.
(includes Intentia), IFS and Microsoft Business Solutions (includes Great Plains, Axapta, and Navision), and (iii) established best-of-breed or point solution providers that compete with only one portion of the Companys
overall ERP suite, including Sage Software, Ltd., and Systems Union, Ltd. (now part of Infor) for financial accounting; ChangePoint (owned by Compuware Corporation), Deltek Systems, Inc., Unit 4 Agresso, N.V, BST Global, and QuickArrow, Inc., for
professional services automation; HighJump Software (part of 3M), Prophet21 (owned by Activant), and Manhattan Associates for distribution and warehousing; QAD, Inc., for manufacturing; and Salesforce.com, Siebel Systems Inc. (owned by Oracle
Corporation), FrontRange Solutions, Inc. and SalesLogix (owned by Best Software, Inc.) for sales force automation, customer service and support. In addition, as the Company sells its products to larger companies, it also faces increased competition
from larger and well-established competitors such as Oracle and SAP AG. While these competitors offer dedicated applications, the Company believes that its broad product offerings, global infrastructure and level of product integration provide a
significant competitive advantage.

Intellectual Property

The Company regards its software as proprietary, in that title to and ownership of the software generally resides exclusively with the Company, and the Company attempts to protect it with a combination of copyright, trademark and trade
secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other industry standard methods for protecting ownership of its proprietary software. Despite these precautions, there can be no assurance unauthorized third-parties will not copy
certain portions of the Companys products or reverse engineer or obtain and use information the Company regards as proprietary. To date, the Company has not relied on patent protection for its software products. While the Companys
competitive position may be affected by its ability to protect its proprietary information, the Company believes that trademark and copyright protections are less significant to the Companys success than other factors such as the knowledge,
ability and experience of the Companys personnel, name recognition and ongoing product development and support. There can be no assurance that the mechanisms used by the Company to protect its software will be adequate or that the
Companys competitors will not independently develop software products that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Companys software products.

The Companys software products are generally licensed to end users on a right to use basis pursuant to a perpetual, non-exclusive license that generally restricts use of the software to the organizations internal
business purposes. Additionally, the end user is generally not permitted to sublicense or transfer the products. When sold through VARs and distributors, the Company licenses its software products pursuant to shrink wrap licenses that
are not signed by licensees and therefore may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Companys proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of
the United States. Certain components of the Companys products are licensed from third parties.

The source code for the Avantéand, in certain cases, Manage 2000, Vantageand Enterprise products historically has been licensed to customers to enable them to customize the software to meet particular requirements. The



19

##### Table of Contents

standard customer license contains a confidentiality clause protecting the products. In the event of termination of the license agreement, the customer
remains responsible for the confidentiality obligation and for any accrued and unpaid license fees. However, there can be no assurance that such customers will take adequate precautions to protect the source code or other confidential information.

As the number of software products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products further overlap, the Company believes that software
programs will increasingly become subject to infringement claims. There can be no assurance that third-parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future with respect to current or future products or that any such
assertion may not require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.

Employees

As of January 31, 2007, the Company had 2,178 full-time employees, including 369 in product development, 320 in support services, 816 in professional services, 352
in sales, 54 in marketing and 267 in administration. The Companys employees are not represented by any collective bargaining organization, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company believes that employee relations are
good.

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

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

If the emerging and current technologies and platforms of Microsoft and others upon which the Company builds its products do not gain or retain
broad market acceptance, or if we fail to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products and services compatible with such emerging technologies, we may not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer.

The Companys software products are built and depend upon several underlying and evolving relational database management system platforms such as
Microsoft SQL Server, Progress and IBM. To date, the standards and technologies that the Company has chosen to develop its products upon have proven to be popular and have gained broad industry acceptance. However, the market for the Companys
software products is subject to ongoing rapid technological developments, quickly evolving industry standards and rapid changes in customer requirements, and there may be existing or future technologies and platforms that achieve industry standard
status, which are not compatible with our products. Additionally, because the Companys products rely significantly upon popular existing user interfaces to third party business applications, the Company must forecast which user interfaces will
be or will remain popular in the future. For example, the Company believes the Internet has and continues to transform the way businesses operate and the software requirements of customers, who are increasingly shifting towards web-based
applications and away from server-based applications. Specifically, the Company believes that customers desire business software applications that enable a customer to engage in commerce or service over the Internet. The Company is proceeding on its
previously announced determination to continue with development of several of its primary product lines upon the Microsoft .NET technology. If the Company cannot continue to develop such .NET compatible products in time to effectively bring them to
market, or if .NET does not become or continue to be a widely accepted industry standard, or if customers adopt competitors products when they shift to web-based applications, the ability of the Companys products to interface with
popular third party applications will be negatively impacted and the Companys competitive position, operating results and revenues could be adversely affected.

New software technologies could cause us to alter our business model resulting in adverse effects on our operating results.

Development of new technologies may also cause the Company to change how it licenses or prices its products, which may adversely impact the Companys revenues and operating results. Emerging licensing models include hosting as well as
subscription-based licensing, in which the licensee essentially rents software for a defined period of time, as opposed to the current perpetual license model. While the Company does currently offer a hosted model to its customers, it has to date
chosen not to offer a subscription based mode. The Companys future business, operating results and financial condition will depend on its ability to effectively train its sales force to sell an integrated comprehensive set of business software
products and recognize and implement emerging industry standards and models, including new pricing and licensing models.

If the Company fails to respond
to emerging industry standards, including licensing models, and end-user requirements, the Companys competitive position and revenues could be adversely affected.

A significant portion of our future revenue is dependent upon our existing installed base of customers continuing to license additional products as well as purchasing consulting services and renewing their annual
maintenance and support contracts. If our existing customers fail to renew their maintenance and support agreements or fail to purchase new product enhancements or additional services from the Company at historical levels, the Companys
revenues and results of operations could be materially impacted.

Historically, approximately 50% to 60% of the Companys license revenues, 90% of
the Companys maintenance revenues and a substantial portion of the Companys consulting revenues are generated from the Companys installed base of customers. Maintenance and support agreements with these customers are traditionally
renewed on an annual basis at the customers discretion, and there is normally no requirement that a customer so renew or that a customer pay new license fees or service fees to the Company following the initial purchase. As a result, if the
Companys existing customers fail to renew their maintenance and support agreements or fail to purchase new product enhancements or additional services at historical levels, our revenues and results of operations could be materially impacted.

Our increasingly complex software products may contain errors or defects which could result in the rejection of our products and damage to our
reputation as well as cause lost revenue, delays in collecting accounts receivable, diverted development resources and increased service costs and warranty claims.

##### Table of Contents

The Companys software products are made up of increasingly complex computer programs. Software products are complex
and products offered by the Company often contain undetected errors or failures (commonly referred to as bugs) when first introduced to the market or as new updates or upgrades of such products are released to the market. Despite testing by the
Company, and by current and potential customers, prior to general release to the market, the Companys products may still contain material errors after their initial commercial shipment. Such material errors may result in loss of or delay in
market acceptance of the Companys products, damage to the Companys reputation, and increased service and warranty costs. Ultimately, such errors could lead to a decline in the Companys revenues. The Company has from time to time
been notified by some of its customers of errors in its various software products. Although it has not occurred to date, the possibility of the Company being unable to correct such errors in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on
the Companys results of operations and its cash flows. In addition, if material technical problems with the current release of the various database and technology platforms, on which the Companys products operate, including Progress,
IBM, Microsoft SQL or Microsoft .NET, occur, such difficulties could also negatively impact sales of these products, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.

The market for Web-based development tools, application products and consulting and education services continues to emerge, which could negatively affect our
client/server-based products and if the Company fails to respond effectively to evolving requirements of this market, the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected.

The Companys development tools, application products and consulting and education services generally help organizations build, customize or
deploy solutions that operate in a client/server-computing environment. There can be no assurance that the market for client/server computing will continue to grow, or will not decrease, or that the Company will be able to respond effectively to the
evolving requirements of these markets. The Company believes that the environment for application software is continuing to change from client/server to a Web-based environment to facilitate commerce on the Internet.

The market for our software products and services is highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors our business could
be negatively impacted.

The business information systems industry in general and the manufacturing, CRM and financial computer software industry
specifically, in which the Company competes are very competitive and subject to rapid technological change, evolving standards, frequent product enhancements and introductions and changing customer requirements. Many of the Companys current
and potential competitors have (1) longer operating histories, (2) significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, (3) greater name recognition, (4) larger technical staffs, and (5) a larger installed
customer base than the Company. A number of companies offer products that are similar to the Companys products and target the same markets. In addition, any of these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements (such as commerce on the Internet and Web-based application software), and to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than the Company. Furthermore, because
there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software industry, the Company expects additional competition from other established and emerging companies. Such competitors may develop products and services that compete with those offered by the
Company or may acquire companies, businesses and product lines that compete with the Company. It also is possible that competitors may create alliances and rapidly acquire significant market share, including in new and emerging markets. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the Companys current or potential competitors will not develop or acquire products or services comparable or superior to those that the Company develops, combine or merge to form significant competitors, or adapt
more quickly than the Company to new technologies, evolving industry trends and changing customer requirements. Competition could cause price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share for the Companys products and services, any of
which could materially and adversely affect the Companys business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that the
competitive pressures that the Company may face will not materially adversely affect its business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

We may not be able to maintain and expand our product offerings or business if we are not able to retain, hire and integrate sufficiently qualified personnel.

The Companys success depends in large part on the continued service of key management personnel that are not subject to employment agreements, including, but not limited to several of the key personnel employed
as a result of the Companys recent acquisitions. In addition, the Company needs to expand, its workforce to continue its growth, and the competition to attract, retain and motivate qualified



22

##### Table of Contents

technical, sales and software development personnel is intense. Additionally, the sudden unexpected loss of such technical personnel, such as developers can
have a negative impact on the Companys ability to develop and introduce new products in a timely and effective manner. There is no assurance that the Company will retain its key personnel, including those who came to the Company as part of
acquisitions, or attract sufficient numbers of qualified key personnel in the future. The failure to retain or attract such persons could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition.

Our software products incorporate and rely upon third party software products for certain key functionality and our revenues, as well as our
ability to develop and introduce new products, could be adversely affected by our inability to control or replace these third party products and operations.

The Companys products incorporate and rely upon software products developed by several other third party entities such as Microsoft, IBM and Progress. Specifically, the Companys software products are built and depend upon
several underlying and evolving relational database management system platforms including Microsoft SQL Server, Progress OpenEdge and IBM U2 and also are integrated with several other third party provider products for the purpose of providing or
enhancing necessary functionality. In the event that these third party products were to become unavailable to the Company or to our customers, either directly from the third party manufacturers or through other resellers of such products, the
Company could not readily replace these products with substitute products. As a result, the Company cannot provide assurance that these third parties will:



| |  |  | Remain in business;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | Continue to support the Companys product lines;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Maintain viable product lines;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | Make their product lines available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Not make their products available to the Companys competitors on more favorable terms.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the long term (i.e. a year or more), an interruption of supply from these vendors could potentially be overcome through migration to another third party supplier or
development within the Company. However, any interruption in the short term could have a significant detrimental effect on the Companys ability to continue to market and sell those of its products relying on these specific third party products
and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operation, cash flows and financial condition.

We may pursue
strategic acquisitions, investments, and relationships and may not be able to successfully manage our operations if we fail to successfully integrate such acquired businesses and technologies, which could adversely affect our operating results.

As part of its business strategy, the Company may continue to expand its product offerings to include application software products and services that
are complementary to its existing software applications, particularly in the areas of electronic commerce or commerce over the Internet, or may gain access to established customer bases into which the Company can sell its current products. The
Companys acquisitions of Scala Business Solutions in 2004 and CRS in 2005 are typical of this ongoing strategy. However, while this strategy has historically and may in the future involve acquisitions, investments in other businesses that
offer complementary products, joint development agreements or technology licensing agreements, the specific risks we commonly encounter in these types of transactions include the following:



| |  |  | Difficulty in effectively integrating any acquired technologies or software products into our current products and technologies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulty in predicting and responding to issues related to product transition such as development, distribution and customer support;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The possible adverse impact of such acquisitions on existing relationships with third party partners and suppliers of technologies and services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The possibility that customers of the acquired company might not accept new ownership and may transition to different technologies or attempt to renegotiate
contract terms or relationships, including maintenance or support agreements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The possibility that the due diligence process in any such acquisition may not completely identify material issues associated with product quality, product
architecture, product development, intellectual property issues, key personnel issues or legal and financial contingencies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulty in integrating acquired operations, including incorporating internal control structures, due to geographical distance, and language and cultural
differences; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Difficulty in retaining employees of the acquired company.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

A failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or technology for any of these reasons could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.

Our future results could be harmed by economic, political, geographic, regulatory and other specific risks associated with our international operations.

The Company believes that any future growth of the Company will be dependent, in part, upon the Companys ability to maintain and increase revenues in its existing
and emerging international markets, including Asia and Latin America. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, 36.8% and 45.8%, respectively, of total Company revenues were generated by the Companys international
operations. The Company expects its total revenues generated by international operations to be approximately 30% to 40% going forward. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will maintain or expand its international sales. If the
revenues that the Company generates from foreign activities are inadequate to offset the expense of maintaining foreign offices and activities, the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected. The international reach of the Companys businesses could also subject the Company and its results of operations to unexpected, uncontrollable and rapidly changing economic and political conditions. Specifically, our
international sales and operations are subject to inherent risks, including:



| |  |  | Differing intellectual property and labor laws;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lack of experience in a particular geographic market;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Different and changing regulatory requirements in various countries and regions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Tariffs and other barriers, including import and export requirements and taxes on subsidiary operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuating exchange rates and currency controls;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign sales and support operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Potentially adverse tax consequences, including repatriation of earnings;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Development and support of localized and translated products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lack of acceptance of localized products or the Company in foreign countries;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Shortage of skilled personnel required for local operations; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Perceived health risks, natural disasters or terrorist risks which impact a geographic region and business operations therein.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any one of these factors or a combination of them could materially and adversely affect the Companys future international sales and, consequently, the
Companys business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. A portion of the Companys revenues from sales to foreign entities, including foreign governments, has been in the form of foreign currencies. While the
Company does enter into hedges and other similar foreign currency contracts, there can be no assurance that such activities will minimize the impact that fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies may have on the Company. As of
December 31, 2006, the Company did not have any hedging or similar foreign currency contracts outstanding. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies could adversely impact the profitability of the Companys foreign operations.

We rely, in part, on third parties to sell our products. Disruptions to these channels would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the
sale of our products.

The Company distributes products through a direct sales force as well as through an indirect distribution channel, which
includes VARs and other distributors and authorized consultants, consisting primarily of professional firms. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, 14% and 16%, respectively, of the Companys software license revenues
were generated by VARs and distributors. If the Companys VARs or authorized consultants cease distributing or recommending the Companys products or emphasize competing products, the Companys results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. Historically, the Company has sold its financial and customer relationship management (CRM) products through direct sales as well as through the indirect distribution channel. However, the Company is currently
developing a distribution channel for certain of its manufacturing product lines not previously widely sold through VARs and other distributors. It is not yet certain that these products can be successfully sold through such a channel and the long
term impact of this new



24

##### Table of Contents

distribution channel on the Companys performance is as of yet undetermined as is the Companys ability to generate additional license and services
revenue from such a channel. The success of the Companys distributors depends in part upon their ability to attract and maintain qualified sales and consulting personnel. Additionally, the Companys distributors may generally terminate
their agreements with the Company upon 30 days notice, while the Scala partners may generally terminate their agreements upon 30 days to several months notice. Almost all partners though may effectively terminate their agreements at any time by
ceasing to promote or sell our products. If our VARs or other distributors are unable to maintain such qualified personnel or if several of the Companys VARs or other distributors were to cease doing business or terminate their agreements and
the Company is unable to replace them in a timely fashion, such factors could negatively impact the Companys results of operations. Finally, there can be no assurance that having both a direct sales force and a distribution channel for the
Companys products will not lead to conflicts between those two sales forces which could adversely impact the Companys ability to close sales transactions or could have a negative impact upon average selling prices, any of which may
negatively impact the Companys operating revenues and results of operations.

If third parties infringe upon our intellectual property, we may
expend significant resources enforcing our rights or suffer competitive injury, which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we infringe upon the intellectual property of others.

The Company considers its proprietary software and the related intellectual property rights in such products to be among its most valuable assets. The Company relies
on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws (domestically and internationally), employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other industry standard methods for protecting ownership of its proprietary software. However,
the Company cannot assure you that in spite of these precautions, an unauthorized third party will not copy or reverse-engineer certain portions of the Companys products or obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary.
From time to time, the Company does take legal action against third parties whom the Company believes are infringing upon the Companys intellectual property rights. However, there is no assurance that the mechanisms that the Company uses to
protect its intellectual property will be adequate or that the Companys competitors will not independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Companys products.

Moreover, the Company from time to time receives claims from third parties that the Companys software products infringe upon the intellectual property rights of
others. The Company expects that as the number of software products in the United States and worldwide increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, the number of these types of claims will increase. This risk is potentially
heightened by the Companys recent acquisition of Scala Business solutions, which historically has done business in such diverse international markets as Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Although it has not yet occurred to date, any
such claim, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation and require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. The terms of such royalty or license arrangements, if required, may not be favorable to the Company. In
addition, in certain cases, the Company provides the source code for some of its application software under licenses to its customers and distributors to enable them to customize the software to meet their particular requirements or translate or
localize the products for resale in foreign countries, as the case may be. Although the source code licenses contain confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions, the Company cannot be certain that such customers or distributors will take adequate
precautions to protect the Companys source code or other confidential information. Moreover, regardless of contractual arrangements, the laws of some countries in which the Company does business or distributes its products do not offer the
same level of protection to intellectual property, as do the laws of the United States.

Foreign currency fluctuations may negatively impact the
financial results of the Company.

The results of operations or financial condition of the Company may be negatively impacted by foreign currency
fluctuations. The Company operates throughout the world through international sales subsidiaries, networks of exclusive third party distributors, and non-exclusive dealers. As a result, certain sales and related expenses are denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Companys results of operations may fluctuate due to exchange rate fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and other currencies because our financial results are reported on a consolidated basis in U.S.
dollars. In an effort to minimize operation fluctuations due to currency movements, we may attempt to limit foreign exchange exposure through operational strategies (e.g. natural hedges, netting, leading and lagging of accounts payables and account
receivables) to offset the effects of exchange rate changes. In addition, the Company may enter into forward currency contracts and purchased options contracts to mitigate unfavorable impacts to the other income section of the income statement. The
Company will be required to estimate the volume of sales transactions in various currencies. Our estimates of transaction volumes in these various currencies could be overstated or understated. If these estimates are overstated or understated during
periods of currency volatility, the Company may experience material currency gains or losses.

Our quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and subject to substantial fluctuation.

The Companys quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past. For example, from the first quarter of 2004 through the fourth quarter of 2006,
quarterly operating income has ranged from $3.4 million to $12.9 million. The Companys operating results may continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of many specific factors that include:



| |  |  | The demand for the Companys products, including reduced demand related to changes in marketing focus for certain products, software market conditions or
general economic conditions as they pertain to information technology (IT) spending;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuations in the length of the Companys sales cycles which may vary depending on the complexity of our products as well as the complexity of the
customers specific software and service needs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The size and timing of orders for the Companys software products and services, which, because many orders are completed in the final days of each quarter, may
be delayed to future quarters;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The number, timing and significance of new software product announcements, both by the Company and its competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Customers unexpected postponement or termination of expected system upgrades or replacement due to a variety of factors including economic conditions, changes
in IT strategies or management changes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in accounting standards, including software revenue recognition standards;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Currency fluctuations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuations in number of customers renewing maintenance.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Company has historically realized a significant portion of its software license revenues in the final month of any quarter, with a concentration of such revenues recorded in the final ten business days of that month.
Further, the Company generally realizes a significant portion of its annual software license revenues in the final quarter of the fiscal year.

Due to the
above factors, among others, the Companys revenues are difficult to forecast. The Company, however, bases its expense levels, including operating expenses and hiring plans, in significant part, on its expectations of future revenue. As a
result, the Company expects its expense levels to be relatively fixed in the short term. The Companys failure to meet revenue expectations could adversely affect operating results. Further, an unanticipated decline in revenue for a particular
quarter may disproportionately affect the Companys operating results in that quarter because the majority of the Companys expenses will be fixed in the short term. As a result, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of
the Companys results of operations are not and will not necessarily be meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance. Due to the foregoing factors, it is likely that, as in past quarters, in some future
quarters the Companys operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. As in those past quarters, such an event would likely have an adverse effect upon the price of the Companys outstanding
securities.

Our operating cash flows are subject to fluctuation, primarily related to our ability to timely collect accounts receivable and to achieve
anticipated revenues and expenses. Negative fluctuations in operating cash flows may require us to seek additional cash sources to fund our working capital requirements. If additional cash sources are not available to the Company, our operations
could be adversely affected.

From the first quarter of 2004 through the fourth quarter of 2006, the Companys quarterly operating cash flows have
ranged from $0.1 million used in operating activities to $18.5 million provided by operating activities. The Companys cash and cash equivalents have increased from $26.8 million at December 31, 2000 to $70.2 million at December 31,
2006. However, the Company has at times experienced decreasing revenues and, prior to the first quarter of 2003, continued operating losses. If in the future, the Company is not successful in achieving its anticipated revenues and expenses or
maintaining a positive cash flow, the Company may not have sufficient resources for planned growth and may be required to take actions to reduce its operating expenses, such as reductions in work force, and/or seek additional sources of funding.
Since December 31, 1999, the Company has also experienced fluctuations in the proportion of accounts receivable over 90 days old. These fluctuations have been due to various issues, including product and service quality, deteriorating financial
condition of customers during the recent recession, and lack of effectiveness of the Companys collection processes. If the Company cannot successfully collect a significant portion of its net accounts receivable, the Company may be required to
seek alternative financing sources. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has $99.3 million outstanding under its credit facility.

The market for our stock is volatile and fluctuations in operating results, changes in the Companys guidance on
revenues and earnings estimates and other factors could negatively impact our stocks price.

During the three year period ended December 31,
2006, the price of the Companys common stock ranged from a low of $9.59 to a high of $17.50. For fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the stock price ranged from a low of $9.59 to a high of $14.62. As of March 5, 2007, the Company
had 57,821,838 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The market prices for securities of technology companies, including the Companys, have historically been quite volatile. Quarter to quarter variations in operating results, changes in the
Companys guidance on revenues and earnings estimates, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, announcements of major contract awards, announcements of industry acquisitions by us or our
competitors, changes in accounting standards or regulatory requirements as promulgated by the FASB, SEC, NASDAQ or other regulatory entities, changes in management, and other events or factors may have a significant impact on the market price of the
Companys Common Stock. In addition, the securities of many technology companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have often been related more to changes in recommendations or financial estimates by securities
analysts than to the companies actual operating performance. Any of these conditions may adversely affect the market price of the Companys Common Stock.

If we are not able to continue to successfully integrate CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc. and its operations with the Company, our ability to achieve anticipated revenues and related profits, as well as our
results for the CRS products may be adversely impacted and the business of the Company may be disrupted and negatively impacted.

The success of our
recent acquisition of CRS will depend in large part upon our ability to continue to successfully integrate the CRS business into the Company. As with most acquisitions, integration issues are complex, time-consuming and expensive and, without proper
planning and implementation, could significantly disrupt the business of CRS and thus, the Company. The challenges involved in continuing to integrate CRS with the Company include:



| |  |  | Coordinating sales and marketing efforts to effectively communicate the combined companys capabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Introducing and effectively selling and cross selling the CRS products into international (non-US) markets where they have not traditionally been offered;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Combining product offerings and technology;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Coordinating and combining domestic operations, relationships and facilities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Coordinating and rationalizing research and development activities to enhance introduction of new products and technologies with reduced cost;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Coordinating CRS research and development efforts here in the United States with the Companys R&D facilities both in the U.S. as well as in Moscow,
Russia and Monterrey, Mexico;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Continuing to demonstrate to the existing CRS customers that the acquisition will not result in adverse changes in client service standards or business focus and
helping customers conduct business easily with the Company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Preserving distribution, marketing or other important relationships of both the Company and CRS and resolving potential conflicts that may arise;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Successfully integrating the business cultures of the Company and CRS, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidating and rationalizing corporate information technology and administrative infrastructures.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The integration of the CRS business into the Companys business may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition to the extent, or in the time
frame, anticipated. The failure to fully integrate the CRS business successfully into the Company or to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions could seriously hinder our plans for product development and business and market
expansion.

A variety of specific business interruptions could adversely affect our business.

A number of particular types of business interruptions could greatly interfere with our ability to conduct business. For example, a substantial portion of our
facilities, including our corporate headquarters and other critical business operations, are located near major earthquake faults. We do not carry earthquake insurance and do not fund for earthquake-related losses. In addition, our computer systems
are susceptible to damage from fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, and similar events. The Company continues to consider and implement its options and develop contingency plans to avoid and/or minimize potential
disruptions to its telecommunication services.

If open source software expands into enterprise software applications, our software license revenues may
decline.

Open source software includes a broad range of software applications and operating environments produced by companies, development
organizations and individual software developers and typically licensed for use, distribution and modification at a nominal cost or often, free of charge. A notable example of open source software is the Linux operating system, which continues to
gain in popularity. To the extent that the open source software models expand and non-commercial companies and software developers create and contribute competitive enterprise software applications to the open source community, we may have to
adjust our pricing, maintenance and distribution strategies and models, which could adversely affect our revenue and operating margins.

With the
recently adopted accounting standard for share-based compensation, which took effect January 1, 2006, the Companys business practices may be materially altered.

The Company historically compensated and incentivized its employees, including many of its key personnel and new hires, through the issuance of options to acquire Company Common Stock. As a result of recently enacted
accounting standards, which require expense recognition for the fair value of stock options, effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its previous practice by no longer granting stock options to employees and granting restricted stock as
an alternative. The effects of such change, if any, could impact the Companys ability to retain existing employees or to attract qualified new candidates. As a result, the Company might have to increase cash compensation to these individuals.
Such changes could have a negative impact upon the Companys earnings and cash flows.

We have recorded a large amount of goodwill and other
acquired intangible assets which we will be required to write down and record an expense if they become impaired.

In connection with our recent
acquisitions, we currently have goodwill of $163.4 million and $56.2 million of amortizing acquired intangible assets on our balance sheet. Although the goodwill is not amortized, we are required to test the goodwill for impairment at least yearly
and any time there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. If we determine that the carrying value of the goodwill or other acquired intangible assets is in excess of its fair value we will be required to write down a portion or all of the
goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, which would adversely impact our results of operations.

Because of these and other factors affecting the
Companys operating results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Future acquisitions of technologies or companies, which are paid for partially, or entirely through the issuance of stock or stock rights could prove dilutive to
existing shareholders.

Consistent with past experience, the Company expects that the consideration it might pay for any future acquisitions of
companies or technologies could include stock, rights to purchase stock, cash or some combination of the foregoing. For example, the Companys acquisition of Scala Business Solutions in 2004 involved the issuance of approximately
4.25 million shares of the Companys Common Stock. If the Company issues stock or rights to purchase stock in connection with future acquisitions, earnings (loss) per share and then-existing holders of the Companys Common Stock may
experience dilution.

The principal activities in Irvine, California are corporate headquarters, sales, marketing, development and
customer support. The Company has approximately 173,000 square feet in the San Diego facility, of which approximately 152,000 square feet is currently sublet to two third parties. The principal activities in San Diego, Minneapolis and Newburgh are
sales, development, consulting and customer support. Internationally, Bracknell, UK and Nacka, Sweden are used for international sales, marketing, consulting, customer support and administration. Of the total Bracknell, UK space, approximately 7,400
square feet is currently being sublet to a third party. The Company also leases property in Monterrey, Mexico and Moscow, Russia for product development.

In addition to the locations listed above the Company leases other offices for sales, service, and product development in various locations worldwide. The Company is continually evaluating its facilities for cost effectiveness and
suitability for purpose and will adjust its facilities portfolio to fit the needs of the Company at any point in time. However, the Company believes its current facilities are suitable for their respective uses and adequate for the Companys
needs.



|Item 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Overview

The Company designs, develops, markets and supports computer software applications, which assist mid-sized companies as well as
the divisions and subsidiaries of larger corporations in the planning, management and operation of their businesses. The Company is focused on the mid-market, which generally includes companies or divisions with annual revenues between $10 million
and $1 billion. The Companys software products and related consulting and support services are designed to help these companies automate key aspects of their business operations, processes, and procedures  from customer relations,
ordering, purchasing and planning, to production, distribution, accounting and financial reporting. By automating these processes, companies may gain faster access to more accurate information, which can improve operating efficiency, reduce cost and
allow companies to be more responsive to their customers, ultimately leading to increased revenues. The Company also offers support, consulting and education services in support of its customers use of its software products. The Companys
products and services are sold worldwide by its direct sales force and an authorized network of Value Added Resellers (VARs), distributors and authorized consultants.

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant accounting policies which are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into
contractual arrangements with end-users that may include licensing of the Companys software products, product support and maintenance services, consulting services, resale of third-party hardware or various combinations thereof, including the
sale of such products or services separately. The Companys accounting policies regarding the recognition of revenue for these contractual arrangements is fully described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company considers many factors when applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America related to revenue recognition. These factors
include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | The actual contractual terms, such as payment terms, delivery dates, and pricing of the various product and service elements of a contract;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Availability of products to be delivered;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Time period over which services are to be performed;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Creditworthiness of the customer;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | The complexity of customizations and integrations to the Companys software required by service contracts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The sales channel through which the sale is made (direct, Value Added Reseller (VAR), distributor, etc.);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Discounts given for each element of a contract; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Any commitments made as to installation or implementation go live dates.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each of the relevant factors is analyzed to determine its impact, individually and collectively with other factors, on the revenue to be recognized for any particular
contract with a customer. Management is required to make judgments regarding the significance of each factor in applying the revenue recognition standards, as well as whether or not each factor complies with such standards. Any misjudgment or error
by management in its evaluation of the factors and the application of the standards, especially with respect to complex or new types of transactions, could have a material adverse affect on the Companys future revenues and operating results.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company sells its products directly to end-users, generally requiring an up-front payment and remaining terms appropriate for the creditworthiness of the customer. The Company also sells its products to VARs and
other software distributors generally under terms appropriate for the creditworthiness of the VAR or distributor. The Company believes no significant concentrations of credit risk existed at December 31, 2006. Receivables from customers are
generally unsecured. The Company continuously monitors its customer account balances and actively pursues collections on past due balances.

The
Companys accounts receivable go through a collection process that is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals and the assistance from other personnel within the Company who have a
relationship with the customer. If, after a specified number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, the Company may turn the account over to a collection agency. The Company writes-off accounts to its allowance when
the Company has determined that collection is not likely. The factors considered in reaching this determination are (i) the apparent financial condition of the customer; (ii) the success that the Company has had in contacting and
negotiating with the customer; and (iii) the number of days the account has been with a collection agency.

The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts based on historical collections, performance and specific collection issues. If actual bad debts differ from the reserves calculated, the Company records an adjustment to bad debt expense in the period in which the difference
occurs. Such adjustment could result in additional charges to the Companys results of operations.

Intangible Assets

The Companys intangible assets were recorded as a result of the Companys acquisitions and represent acquired technology, customer base, trademarks, covenants
not to compete and a third party funded development agreement. These intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the asset. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of the intangible assets and
considers any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Any material changes in circumstances, such as large decreases in revenue or the discontinuation of a particular
product line could require future write-downs in the Companys intangibles assets and could have a material adverse impact on the Companys operating results for the periods in which such write-downs occur.

Goodwill

The Companys goodwill was recorded as a result of the
Companys acquisitions. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, the Company has recorded these acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. In accordance
with SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performed an impairment review of its recorded goodwill in 2006 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed because the estimated fair value of each
reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. The Company tests its recorded goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if indicators of potential impairment exist, by determining if the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeds
its estimated fair value. Factors that could trigger an impairment include, but are not limited to, underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the
Companys overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. Future impairment reviews may require write-downs in the Companys goodwill and could have a material adverse impact on the Companys operating results
for the periods in which such write-downs occur.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123-R). The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123-R in the first
quarter of 2006 and selected the modified prospective method for adoption. Prior to adoption, the Company accounted for the issuance of stock options to employees using the intrinsic value method according to Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The Company granted stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and, accordingly, no compensation expense was recorded
for stock options in prior periods. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period.
Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected dividends, volatility, terms and estimating the amount

of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and
the Companys results of operations could be materially impacted. The Company changed its previous practice by no longer granting stock options to employees and granting restricted stock as an alternative.

The Company also accounts for its restricted stock in accordance with SFAS 123-R. The Company historically recognized compensation expense based on the fair market value
of the restricted stock on its grant date, and continues to do so under the provisions of SFAS 123-R.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences
attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability and has established a
valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. In making this assessment the
Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether, based on such evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the net deferred assets will be realized in future periods.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance will continue to be evaluated over future
quarters. If the Company continues to generate profits and ultimately determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the remaining deferred tax assets will be utilized to offset future taxable income, the valuation allowance
could be decreased or eliminated all together, thereby resulting in a temporary decrease to the Companys effective tax rate, and in certain circumstances adjustments to additional paid-in capital and goodwill.

U.S. income taxes were not provided for on undistributed earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested in
accordance with APB Opinion 23.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). Under this standard, the Company may elect to report financial instruments
and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that is caused by measuring
hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use a different accounting method than the related hedging contracts when the complex provisions of SFAS 133 hedge accounting are not met. SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning
after November 15, 2007. Early adoption within 120 days of the beginning of the Companys 2007 fiscal year is permissible, provided the Company has not yet issued interim financial statements for 2007 and has adopted SFAS 159. The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises
financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, the financial statement effects of a tax position should initially be recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon
examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with a taxing authority. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying the provisions of FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings in the period adopted. The Company is

currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Companys results of operations, financial position and liquidity. At this
time, the Company does not know what the impact will be upon adoption of this standard.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement
(rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB 108 is effective for the Companys fiscal year 2006 annual financial
statements. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not
require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1,
2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Companys financial statements.

In
March 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) that
the entities may adopt a policy of presenting taxes in the income statement on either a gross or net basis. Gross or net presentation may be elected for each different type of tax, but similar taxes should be presented consistently. Taxes within the
scope of this EITF would include taxes that are imposed on a revenue transaction between a seller and a customer, for example, sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes, and some types of excise taxes. The EITF is effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 2007. EITF 06-3 will not impact the method for recording these sales taxes in the Companys consolidated financial statements as the Company has historically presented sales excluding all taxes.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations. Management is responsible for determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed represent managements estimate of fair value. The Company conducts an active mergers and acquisitions program. Acquisition candidates are determined to be viable if they meet the Companys stringent criteria which
includes, but is not limited to, product and technology fit, culture, geography, revenue synergies and financial contribution. Because the software industry is consolidating, the purchase environment is competitive. Valuations are
determined through a combination of earnings per share accretion models which assume certain cost synergies, internal rate of return calculations, discounted cash flow models, outside valuations and appraisals and market conditions. The results of
the acquisitions are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations from the respective acquisition dates forward.

Scala Africa

On October 6, 2006, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Scala Africa
(Proprietary) Limited (Scala Africa) including subsidiary company Scala Business Software (Proprietary) Ltd (SBS) and the assets of Scala East Africa Limited (SEA). Prior to the acquisition, Scala Africa had been a distributor of Scalas
products and related consulting services in Africa. This acquisition is consistent with the Companys continuing efforts to make selective acquisitions of dealers and partners in countries where the Company has a strong installed base of
customers.

The preliminary purchase price of $1.7 million was preliminarily allocated to Scala Africas tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of October 6, 2006, which is subject to completion.

CRS

On
December 6, 2005, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired approximately 96% of the outstanding capital stock of CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc. (CRS), a privately held company. The Company acquired the remaining 4% of the
outstanding capital stock of CRS effective December 20, 2005. CRS is a provider of merchandising and point-of sale software solutions, hardware and services to the specialty retail industry.

The total purchase price of CRS was $123.5 million. The Company used working capital and funds available under a Credit Agreement (Note 6 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) in order to finance the acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to CRSs tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of December 6, 2005
with the excess ascribed to goodwill.

The acquired in-process research and development of $2.0 million arose from new product projects that were under
development at the date of the acquisition and were expected to eventually lead to new products but had not yet established technological feasibility and for which no future alternative use was identified. The valuation of the in-process research
and development projects was based upon the discounted expected future cash flows of the products over the products expected life, reflecting the estimated stage of completion of the projects and the estimate of the costs to complete the projects.
This acquired in-process research and development was written-off during the fourth quarter of 2005. Four in-process research and development projects were identified, ranging in completeness from 20% to 40%. Two of these projects are
significant enhancements to existing projects; one was completed as of December 31, 2006 and the other is expected to be completed in 2007 and represent 50% of the in-process research and development. The other two projects are new modules
to existing products; one was completed as of December 31, 2006 and the other is expected to be completed in 2007. These represent the other 50% of the in-process research and development. The total estimated cost to complete the remaining
two projects as of December 31, 2006 is approximately $0.6 million.

Scala Italy

On April 5, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Scala Italia SRL (Scala Italy), a privately held company located in Italy, for approximately $1.5 million (including transaction costs of $0.2 million), of
which approximately $1.0 million was paid at closing, $0.1 million paid in July 2005 and $0.1 million was paid in April 2006. The final payment, which was earned as of December 31, 2005, represents the amount due on a contingent earn-out
against maintenance and support revenues generated by Scala Italys customer base.

Scala Romania

On March 31, 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 80.1% of the outstanding shares it did not already own in SC Scala Business Solutions SRL (Scala Romania), a
privately held company located in Romania, for approximately $2.0 million (including transaction costs of $0.1 million), of which approximately $0.1 million was paid at closing and $1.5 million was paid May 31, 2005. The final payment
represented a contingent earn-out against maintenance and support revenues generated by Scala Romanias customer base. The contingent earn-out was finalized on December 31, 2005 for $0.4 million and was paid on March 1, 2006.

Strongline

On December 14, 2004, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding stock of Strongline A/S (Strongline), a privately held company located in Denmark, for approximately $5.5 million in cash (including transaction costs of $0.1 million); $3.0 million was paid on December 14, 2004,
$0.5 million was paid on December 23, 2005 and $0.5 million was paid in January 2007. The final purchase price was subject to a working capital adjustment based on the difference of the target working capital of Strongline, as specified in the
Share Purchase Agreement, and the actual working capital as of the acquisition date. In June 2005, the working capital adjustment was finalized for $1.3 million and was paid in July 2005.

Scala

On June 18, 2004, the Company acquired 22,570,851
ordinary shares of Scala Business Solutions N.V. (Scala), a publicly held software company headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, by means of an exchange offer made for all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Scala (the Exchange Offer). On
July 8, 2004, the Company acquired 1,096,048 shares of Scala during a subsequent offering period. The shareholders of Scala received 0.1795 newly issued shares of the Company common stock and a cash payment of $1.8230 for each Scala

ordinary share validly tendered during the initial and subsequent offering period. On July 12, 2004, the Company purchased 27,452 additional Scala
shares on Euronext for a price of $83,500. On August 9, 2005, the Company deposited the funds to buy-out the remaining 461,074 Scala shares not owned by the Company. Therefore, as of August 9, 2005, the Company became the legal
owner of all outstanding Scala shares.

Scala designs, develops, markets and supports collaborative enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that is
used by the small- and medium-size divisions and subsidiaries of large multinational corporations, as well as by independent stand-alone companies, in developed and emerging markets. Scalas solutions are based on a web services platform and
utilize Microsoft® technologies. Scalas
software and services support local currencies and accounting regulations, are available in more than 30 languages, and are used by customers in over 140 countries. The Scala acquisition provides the Company with a significantly expanded worldwide
presence and synergistic product offerings; both of which contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the creation of goodwill.

The total purchase price of Scala, reflecting the 22,570,851 shares tendered during the initial offering period, the 1,096,048 shares tendered during the subsequent
offering period and the 27,452 shares purchased on Euronext, and the buy-out of the remaining 461,074 shares, was $95.8 million. The value of the Company common shares issued was $10.83 per share and is based on the average closing price for three
days before, the day of, and three days after announcement of the transaction.

The Company used working capital and funds available under a Credit
Agreement (Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) in order to finance the cash portion of the offer price.

The purchase price was
allocated to Scalas tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of June 18, 2004 with any excess being ascribed to goodwill.

2005 CRS Acquisition

In connection with the Companys acquisition of CRS Retail Technology Group on December 6, 2005, the Company formulated a restructuring plan to close one of the CRS facilities. In connection with this, the Company recorded a
liability of $0.2 million for the restructuring costs associated with the CRS reduction in workforce and the closure of a CRS facility. This liability included separation costs for terminated employees and costs for the closing of the CRS facility.
In conjunction with this restructuring, ten CRS employees, or 3% of the CRS

workforce, will be terminated from all functional areas. As of December 31, 2006, five of these terminations have been made. Lease payments on the CRS
facility that was vacated will continue to be made until the respective noncancelable terms of the lease expire in 2008. As of December 31, 2006, the remaining balance is $0.1 million and represents facility and severance charges.

2005 Restructuring Charges

For the year ended December 31,
2005, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.4 million. This charge represents severance costs related to the fourth quarter 2005 reorganization. In connection with these restructuring activities, the Company terminated 14 employees, or
less than 1% of the Companys workforce at that time, from various functions across the Company. All of these terminations have been completed. As of December 31, 2006, the balance related to this restructuring is zero.

2004 Restructuring Charges

For the year ended December 31,
2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2.4 million. This charge represents $0.4 million of separation costs related to the first quarter 2004 reorganization of one of the Companys product lines and the movement of certain
development efforts to Mexico as part of an overall cost reduction program. In connection with these restructuring activities, the Company terminated 35 employees, or 4% of the Companys workforce at that time, from all functional areas of the
Company. As of December 31, 2006, all of these terminations have been completed. The remaining charge includes (i) $0.5 million for an addition to a previously recorded loss on one of the Companys domestic facilities due to the
renegotiation of a sublease agreement with one of the Companys current subtenants, (ii) $0.1 million for a loss recorded on one of the Companys international facilities due to the determination that sublease income on this facility
would not be realized according to the original estimate due to current economic conditions in this region, (iii) $0.7 million for a loss recorded on another of the Companys international facilities due to the unanticipated loss of its
sublease income and (iv) $0.7 million for a loss recorded on one of the Companys domestic facilities as a result of a new sublease agreement entered into in 2004. At December 31, 2006, the remaining balance is $1.0 million and
represents facility charges. Lease payments on buildings vacated or downsized will continue to be made until the respective noncancelable terms of the lease expire in 2009.

2004 Scala Acquisition

In connection with the Companys acquisition of Scala on June 18, 2004, the Company
formulated a restructuring plan for the Scala operations. In connection with this, the Company recorded a liability of $6.2 million for the restructuring costs associated with the Scala reduction in workforce and the closure of certain Scala
offices. This liability included $4.9 million for separation costs for terminated employees and $1.4 for the closing of certain of Scalas facilities and tax audits. In conjunction with the acquisition, 120 Scala employees, or 21% of the Scala
workforce, were terminated from all functional areas. As of December 31, 2006, all of these terminations have been completed. In December 2006, the Company reversed the reserve against goodwill related to facilities where leases were either
surrendered with no further obligation or subleased for the remainder of the lease. In addition, severance reserves were reversed against goodwill as a result of the settlement of estimated obligations. As of December 31, 2006, the balance
related to outstanding severance obligations is $0.2 million for payments to terminated employees which are in accordance with their severance agreements.

2002 Restructuring Charges

In 2002, the Company underwent a restructuring of its operations in an effort to reduce its cost structure
through a reduction in workforce and the consolidation of certain of its facilities.

For facility costs included in the restructuring charge, the
associated subleased and unoccupied space is physically separate from the utilized space of the facility. The balance at December 31, 2006 is $0.3 million. Although the consolidation efforts were substantially completed as of the end of 2002,
lease payments on the buildings that were vacated or downsized will continue to be made until the respective noncancelable terms of the leases expire in 2009.

Other Data



| | (1) | The Company is providing EBITDA,
a non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measure, because (i) the Company believes that this figure is helpful in allowing individuals to assess the ongoing financial performance of the business; (ii) the Company
uses EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because EBITDA helps the Company compare its performance on a consistent basis by removing from its operating results the impact of its net cash or borrowing position, the
effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions and the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization and (iii) EBITDA provides an additional analytical tool to clarify the Companys results from operations and helps
the Company to identify underlying trends in its results of operations. Therefore, the Company believes that this information is meaningful to investors when considered in connection with the information contained in the GAAP presentation of
financial information. The EBITDA measure presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is defined as net income before (i) net interest expense (income), (ii) income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. The Company also
internally uses adjusted EBITDA measures for determining (i) compliance with certain financial covenants in its credit agreement and (ii) management incentive bonus, including vesting of certain nonvested share incentive awards. The
adjusted EBITDA measures used for those purposes may differ from the EBITDA measure presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because additional items may be excluded from net income for purposes of calculating adjusted EBITDA. For example,
in-process research and development charges and foreign currency gains/losses may be required to be excluded from adjusted EBITDA under the terms of the Companys credit agreements and/or management incentive plans. EBITDA is not defined under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and has limitations because it does not include all items of income and expense that impact the Companys operations. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering
the Companys GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure the Company uses is not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP, such as operating income, net income and income per
share, and should not be considered measures of the Companys liquidity. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Following is
a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and a calculation of EBITDA as a percent of revenue (dollars in thousands):

Revenue

License fee revenues increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase is due in part to the contribution of license revenue from the CRS acquisition in December
2005, which added approximately $12.4 million in license revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006. Excluding CRS, license revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, increased primarily due
to an increase in average selling price in North America of approximately 5% and an increase in the Companys sales headcount of approximately 20%.

Consulting revenues increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005. This increase is due to the December 2005 acquisition of CRS, which added $19.4 million of incremental consulting revenue in 2006, as well as an increase in sales of software licenses, which resulted in additional implementation
and other related consulting engagements. In order to meet the demand for this additional consulting work, the Company hired additional consulting personnel during 2006, resulting in an increase in consulting headcount of 28% during the year.

Maintenance revenues increased in absolute dollars for year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. This increase is due
primarily to (i) the acquisition of CRS, which resulted in additional maintenance revenues of $10.7 million, (ii) continued high renewal rates in the Companys customer base, (iii) continued higher license sales and related
maintenance contracts sold with new licenses and (iv) an increase in existing customers whose maintenance agreements had lapsed and have now renewed their maintenance agreements.

Hardware and other revenues consist primarily of resale of third-party hardware and sales of business forms. The increase in hardware and other revenue in absolute dollars for year ended December 31, 2006, as
compared to the same period in 2005, is primarily due to the acquisition of CRS.

International revenues were $141.2 million and $132.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, representing 36.8% and 45.8%, respectively, of total revenues. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in 2006 foreign currency-based revenues being reported $2.4 million lower than they
would have been if they had been translated at 2005 foreign currency exchange rates. The decrease in international revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, is due
to the acquisition of CRS in December 2005, which primarily generates revenue domestically.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization of capitalized acquired technology, customer base, a third party funded development agreement, and trademarks
that were recorded as a result of acquisitions. The Companys intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the assets. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded
amortization expense, included in cost of revenues, related to intangible assets, of $17.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The increase in amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in
2005, is due to the additional amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Scala Italy in April 2005, CRS in December 2005 and Scala Africa in October 2006. Amortization of acquired technology and trademarks will be complete in 2010 and
amortization of the customer base will be complete in 2013.

Gross Profit, including Cost of Revenues

Cost of license fees consists primarily of software royalties paid for third-party software incorporated into the Companys products, costs associated with product
packaging, documentation and software duplication, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, cost of license fees increased primarily due to the CRS
acquisition, which added $8.4 million, which is primarily amortization of intangibles. This additional amortization resulted in a decrease in the license gross profit.

Cost of consulting revenues consists primarily of salaries, benefits and other headcount-related expenses for the Companys consulting organization, which provides consulting services to customers in the
implementation and integration of the Companys software products, as well as education, training and other consulting and programming services. The Company had an increase in these costs for the year ended December 31, 2006, as
compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of CRS which added approximately $16.7 million in additional cost and $1.0 million related to stock-based compensation expenses resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123-R
during 2006. The remaining increase in these costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 is due to an increase in headcount of approximately 28%. Due to these factors, the overall gross profit decreased for the year ended
December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005.

##### Table of Contents

Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of maintenance royalties on third-party software incorporated into the
Companys products and salaries, benefits and other headcount-related expenses for the Companys support organization. For the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, cost of maintenance revenues
increased due primarily to the acquisition of CRS which added approximately $5.4 million, and an increase of $0.4 million related to stock-based compensation expenses resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123-R during 2006. Due to these factors,
the overall gross profit decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005.

Cost of hardware and other revenue
increased due to the acquisition of CRS, which added $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in gross profit is due to the acquisition of CRS which is comprised mostly of hardware costs from CRS and its lower gross
margin.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing
expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, travel, advertising and promotional expenses. The increase in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, is primarily due the
acquisition of CRS, which added approximately $3.3 million in additional cost and $2.9 million related to stock-based compensation expenses resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123-R during 2006. The remaining increase in sales and
marketing expense is due to increased headcount in sales of approximately 20%. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005.

Software Development

Software
development costs consist primarily of compensation of development personnel, related overhead incurred to develop new products and upgrade and enhance the Companys current products and fees paid to outside consultants. The majority of these
expenses have been incurred by the Company in North America, Mexico, and Russia where the Company operates development centers. Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, under which the Company is required to capitalize software development costs between the time technological feasibility is established and the product is ready for general release.
Costs that do not qualify for capitalization are charged to research and development expense when incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, no software development costs were capitalized because the time period and cost
incurred between technological feasibility and general release for all software product releases was insignificant.

Software development expenses
increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of CRS which added approximately $3.2 million and due to the adoption of SFAS 123-R during 2006 which
resulted in $0.8 million related to stock-based compensation expenses. The remaining increase in these costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 is due to an increase in headcount of approximately 8%, compared to the same period in 2005.
Software development expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with
the Companys executive, financial, human resources and information services functions. General and administrative expenses increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, due to
the acquisition of CRS, which added approximately $4.2 million, and an increase of $1.7 million related to stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in revenues for
year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is related to SFAS 123-R stock-based compensation expense from stock options and restricted stock issued by the Company. Stock-based compensation expense for year ended
December 31, 2006 was related to the various restricted stock awards granted in 2005 and 2006, the performance-based restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was related to
restricted stock issued as part of the 2001 stock option exchange program, 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock issued to the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in March 2003 and May 2003, and restricted stock issued to various members of
management. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, stock-based compensation expense was $9.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

At
December 31, 2006, there was approximately $3.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, excluding performance-based restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of approximately two years. The compensation cost related to the performance-based restricted stock depends on the estimated number of shares that will vest, based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. The Company is
required at each reporting date to assess whether achievement of any performance condition is probable. Based on the Companys final achievement, the Company recorded stock compensation expense related to these grants of $5.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company anticipates it will recognize compensation expense related to the 2007 and 2008 performance-based restricted stock in an amount higher than 2006 due to more participants, assuming the Company
achieves its revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123-R, the Companys net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $1.7 million lower than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under the recognition and
measurement provisions of APB 25 and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $0.03 lower than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based
compensation under APB 25. At December 31, 2006, there was approximately $2.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
approximately one year.

The following table sets forth the total stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, restricted stock awards,
and the employee stock purchase plan included in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

On December 18, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized the Company to accelerate the vesting of certain unvested and out-of-the-money stock options outstanding under the Companys stock plans that have exercise prices per share of $14.31 or higher. The decision to accelerate
the vesting was made primarily to reduce the impact of recording noncash compensation expense upon the implementation of SFAS 123-R. Options to purchase approximately 475,000 shares of the Companys common stock became exercisable
immediately. Options held by non-employee directors were not included in the vesting acceleration. In addition, in order to prevent unintended personal benefits to executive officers, restrictions will be imposed on any shares received through the
exercise of accelerated options held by those individuals. Those restrictions will prevent the sale of any shares received from the exercise of an accelerated option until the date on which such shares would have vested under the options original
vesting terms. There was no accounting impact associated with the acceleration of vesting of these options.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The Company operates in an international environment with
significant operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of tax-related assets and liabilities and income tax provisions. The Company assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. In making this assessment
the Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether, based on such evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our net deferred assets will be realized in future periods. This
assessment requires significant judgment. In addition, the Company has made estimates involving current and deferred income taxes, tax attributes relating to the interpretation of various tax laws, historical bases of tax attributes associated with
certain tangible and intangible assets.

The Company recorded a provision (benefit) for income taxes of $14.8 million and $(18.2) million for years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The effective income tax rates were 38.3% and (53.6)% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of
35% primarily due to state and foreign income tax and permanent differences between GAAP pre-tax income and taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2006 and benefits from the release of valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax
assets for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company had provided a valuation allowance of $93.8 million as of December 31, 2004 on 100% of
its net deferred tax assets as it had been determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized. As previously disclosed, the Company continually assesses its valuation allowance related to the deferred tax
assets. During 2005, the Company released the valuation allowance related to substantially all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and certain foreign deferred tax assets. For the remaining deferred tax assets the Company intends to maintain
a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.

Although the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is
no longer required with respect to the U.S. federal deferred tax asset, recovery is dependent on achieving our forecast of future operating income over a protracted period of time. The Company will review the forecast in relation to actual results
and expected trends on an ongoing basis. Failure to achieve our operating income targets may change the Companys assessment regarding the recoverability of its net deferred tax assets and such change could result in a valuation allowance being
recorded against some or all of the deferred tax assets. Any increase in a valuation allowance would result in additional tax expense and could have a significant impact on the Companys earnings in future periods.

Additionally, under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and related interpretations, future period reductions to the valuation
allowance related to Scalas deferred tax assets that existed as of the date of acquisition of Scala are first credited against goodwill, then to the unamortized balance of other identifiable intangible assets recorded at the date of
acquisition, and then, once these assets have been reduced to zero, credited to the income tax provision.

The Company is currently under examination in
various locations including the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Hungary and Canada. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Revenue

License fee revenues increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004. This increase is the result of an increase in average selling price of approximately 24% for the year
ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, which is attributable to the Companys broad-based improvement across all businesses and products plus the contribution of license revenue from the Scala acquisition in June
2004 and the CRS acquisition in December 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, license revenues from Scala and CRS accounted for approximately $8.7 million and $0.7 million of the increase in
license revenues, respectively.

Consulting revenues increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same
period in 2004. This increase is due to both the increase in license revenues, which has resulted in increased implementation engagements and the acquisitions of Scala and CRS. The acquisitions of Scala and CRS accounted for approximately $10.1
million and $1.5 million, respectively, in consulting revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.

Maintenance revenues increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same
periods in 2004. This increase is due to higher than average retention rates on the Companys product maintenance programs, which is due to strong releases, improved services and focused maintenance sales efforts, an increase in win backs,
which is an existing customer whose maintenance had lapsed and has now renewed their maintenance, and to the acquisitions of Scala and CRS. The acquisitions of Scala accounted for approximately $18.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in
maintenance revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.

Other revenues consist primarily of resale of
third-party hardware, sales of business forms and revenues from a Scala service center in Moscow that processes payroll transactions for third parties located in Russia. The increase in other revenues in absolute dollars for the year ended
December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to other revenue generated by the payroll service center in Moscow and the acquisition of CRS offset by a reduction of third-party hardware sales in the U.S. The acquisitions of
Scala and CRS accounted for approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.

International revenues, which are all non U.S. revenues, were $132.5 million and $92.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, representing 45.8% and 41.1%, respectively, of total
revenues. The increase in international revenues in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to the acquisition of Scala in June 2004, which accounted for approximately $35.3
million of the increase in international revenues and a foreign currency exchange rate impact of approximately $0.4 million. The remaining increase is primarily due to an increase in international license revenues, which is attributable to the
Companys broad-based improvement across all businesses and products.

Amortization of Intangible Assets and Capitalized Software Development Costs

Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization of capitalized acquired technology, customer base, trademarks and third party funded
development agreement, that were recorded primarily as a result of the DataWorks Corporation (DataWorks) acquisition in December 1998, the Clarus asset purchase in December 2002, the ROI acquisition in July 2003, the TDC/T7 asset purchase in July
2003, the Platsoft acquisition in February 2004, the Scala acquisition in June 2004, the Strongline acquisition in December 2004, the Scala Romania acquisition in March 2005, the Scala Italy acquisition in April 2005 and the CRS acquisition in
December 2005. The Companys intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the assets. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded amortization expense, included in
cost of revenues, related to intangible assets of $11.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The increase in amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to the additional
amortization expense related to the Scala, Strongline and CRS acquisitions. Amortization of the third party funded development agreement was complete in 2006, amortization of acquired technology and trademarks will be complete in 2010 and
amortization of the customer base will be complete in 2012.

Gross Profit, including Cost of Revenues

Cost of license fees consists primarily of software royalties paid for third-party software incorporated into the Companys products, costs associated with product
packaging, documentation and software duplication, and amortization of capitalized software developments costs and acquired intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, cost of license fees
increased primarily due to an increase in software royalties of $4.9 million on higher license revenues and an increase to amortization related to the inclusion of a full year of Scala, and the Strongline, Romania and CRS acquisitions which occurred
in 2005. These acquisitions resulted in a decrease in the related gross profit.

Cost of consulting revenues consists primarily of salaries, benefits and other headcount-related expenses for the
Companys consulting organization, which provides consulting services to customers in the implementation and integration of the Companys software products, as well as education, training and other consulting and programming services. The
Company had an increase in these costs for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the acquisition of Scala in June 2004, which accounted for additional costs of $7.1 million and the
acquisition of CRS, which added $1.2 million in additional costs. In addition, the Company increased headcount by 31% which resulted in additional salaries and related expenses, and incurred recruitment expenses of approximately $4.7 million.
Overall however, consulting gross profit decreased due to the Company making an investment in human capital to address the growth of our service business.

Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of maintenance royalties on third-party software incorporated into the Companys products and salaries, benefits and other headcount-related expenses for the Companys support
organization. For the year ended December 31, 2005, cost of maintenance revenues increased $3.1 million due largely to (i) the acquisition of Scala, which accounted for additional maintenance costs of $2.5 million, (ii) the
acquisition of CRS, which resulted in additional maintenance costs of $0.2 million and (iii) increased maintenance royalties of $0.7 million on higher maintenance revenues. Overall, gross profit increased due to verticalization of the support
organization which resulted in a reduction in management costs and improved efficiencies based on best practices.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, travel, advertising and promotional expenses. The increase for the year ended
December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is primarily due to the Scala acquisition which accounted for $5.3 million in expenses, the acquisition of CRS which added $0.3 million, an increase in commission expense of $3.9
million as a result of increased license revenues and increased headcount and an increase of $0.8 million in additional advertising and trade show related costs. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to increased salaries and headcount
related expenses. Sales and marketing expenses remained flat as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004.

Software Development

Software development costs consist primarily of compensation of development personnel, related
overhead incurred to develop new products and upgrade and enhance the Companys current products, as well as fees paid to outside consultants. Historically, the majority of these expenses have been incurred by the Company in North America and
Mexico, where the Company operates a development center. Beginning in the third quarter of 2004, the Company incurred software development cost in Russia, where Scala operates a development center. Software development costs are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 86 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, under which the Company is required to capitalize software development costs between the time technological
feasibility is established and the product is ready for general release. Costs that do not qualify for capitalization are charged to research and development expense when incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, no software
development costs were capitalized because the time period between technological feasibility and general release for all software product releases during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was insignificant.

Software development expenses increased in absolute dollars for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004. The increase for the year
ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is due to additional headcount related expenses from Scala of $3.7 million and from CRS in the amount of $0.2 million, offset by decreases in headcount related expenses as a
result of the 2004 restructuring. Software development expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in license revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.

General and Administrative

The increase in absolute dollars for the
year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is largely due to $7.5 million in additional expense related to the acquisition of Scala in June 2004 and $0.2 related to the CRS acquisition. This is offset by decreases in
most areas of general and administrative due to the Companys continued cost cutting efforts.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is related to restricted stock issued by the Company. Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was related to restricted stock issued as part of the 2001 stock
option exchange program, 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock issued to the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in March 2003 and May 2003, 140,000 shares issued to certain executives in July 2005 and 60,000 shares issued to certain Vice
Presidents in October 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, stock-based compensation expense was $2.6 million.

All restricted shares
issued in the stock option exchange program fully vested as of January 26, 2005 and all compensation expense related to these shares has been recorded as of December 31, 2005. On December 18, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to accelerate the vesting of certain unvested and out-of-the-money stock options outstanding under the Companys stock plans that have exercise prices per share of $14.31 or
higher. Options to purchase approximately 475,000 million shares of the Companys common stock became exercisable immediately. Options held by non-employee directors were not included in the vesting acceleration. In addition, in order to
prevent unintended personal benefits to executive officers, restrictions will be imposed on any shares received through the exercise of accelerated options held by those individuals. Those restrictions will prevent the sale of any shares received
from the exercise of an accelerated option until the date on which such shares would have vested under the options original vesting terms.

Write-off of
In-Process Research and Development

Included in the Companys operating results for the year ended December 31, 2005 is a charge of $2.0 for
the write-off of the acquired in-process research and development expenses related to the CRS acquisition. The in-process research and development expenses arose from new product projects that were under development at the date of the acquisition
and were expected to eventually lead to new products but had not yet established technological feasibility and for which no future alternative use was identified. The valuation of the in-process research and development projects was based upon the
discounted expected future cash flows of the products over the products expected life, reflecting the estimated stage of completion of the projects and the estimate of the costs to complete the projects.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists
of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The Company operates in an international environment with significant operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate
reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of tax-related assets and liabilities and income tax provisions. The Company assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax
assets on an ongoing basis. In making this assessment the Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether, based on such evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our net
deferred assets will be realized in future periods. This assessment requires significant judgment. In addition, the Company has made estimates involving current and deferred income taxes, tax attributes relating to the interpretation of various tax
laws, historical bases of tax attributes associated with certain tangible and intangible assets.

The Company recorded a (benefit) provision for income
taxes of $(18.2) million and $1.3 million for years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The effective income tax rates were (53.6)% and 5.2% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The effective tax rate
differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses that were previously subject to a valuation allowance and lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions for year ended
December 31, 2004, and, for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to an income tax benefit from the release of the valuation allowance.

The Company had provided a valuation allowance of $93.8 million as of December 31, 2004 on 100% of its net deferred tax assets as it had been determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be
realized. As previously disclosed, the Company continually assesses its valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets. During 2005, the Company released the valuation allowance related to substantially all U.S.

##### Table of Contents

federal and state deferred tax assets and certain foreign deferred tax assets. For the remaining deferred tax assets the Company intends to maintain a
valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.

Although the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is
no longer required with respect to the U.S. federal deferred tax asset, recovery is dependent on achieving our forecast of future operating income over a protracted period of time. As of December 31, 2005, the Company would require
approximately $124 million in cumulative future operating income to be generated at various times over approximately the next seventeen years to realize the net deferred tax assets. The Company will review the forecast in relation to actual results
and expected trends on an ongoing basis. Failure to achieve our operating income targets may change the Companys assessment regarding the recoverability of its net deferred tax assets and such change could result in a valuation allowance being
recorded against some or all of the deferred tax assets. Any increase in a valuation allowance would result in additional tax expense and could have a significant impact on the Companys earnings in future periods.

Additionally, under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and related interpretations, future period reductions to the valuation
allowance related to Scalas deferred tax assets that existed as of the date of acquisition of Scala are first credited against goodwill, then to the other identifiable intangible assets existing at the date of acquisition, and then, once these
assets have been reduced to zero, credited to the income tax provision.

The Company is currently under examination in various locations including the
Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Hungary. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

As of December 31, 2006, the Companys principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents
of $70.2 million and unused borrowing capacity of $99.8 million under its senior revolving credit facility. The Companys operations provided $46.8 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the
Company had $1.7 million in cash obligations for severance costs, lease terminations and other costs related to the Companys restructurings. These obligations are expected to be paid through August 2009 and the Company believes these
obligations will be funded from existing cash reserves and cash generated from continuing operations. The Companys working capital excluding deferred revenue is $117.4 million. The Company believes this is a relevant measurement of working
capital as deferred revenue is an obligation for services not cash. The cost of providing these services is generally fixed in nature and ranges from 21% to 24% of the related revenues.

The Companys days sales outstanding (DSO) for the last two years are set forth in the following tables:



|               |  |

|Quarter Ended: |  | 2005
|March 31       |  | 61

|June 30        |  | 62  
|September 30   |  | 69  
|December 31    |  | 74  

The increase in DSO for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of the acquisition of
CRS in December 2005 combined with strong sales and large dollar accounts, the majority of which occurred in the third month of the quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company DSOs increased over September 30,
2006 due primarily to seasonally strong sales in December 2006 as well as the timing of maintenance billings to customers, causing an increase in accounts receivable without corresponding revenue. DSOs increased year over year due to the
inclusion of CRS.

The Companys principal investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 included the sale of short-term investments
of $3.3 million, capital expenditures of $5.6 million and $2.3 million paid related to acquisitions.

Financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2006 included $147.5 million in payments on long-term debt, $122.0 million in proceeds on the Companys long-term debt and $1.5 million in debt issuance fees. Cash provided by financing activities included proceeds from the
issuance of stock under the employee stock purchase plan of $1.1 million and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options in the amount of $2.2 million.

On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with several financial institutions (the 2006 credit facility), which provides for revolving loans of up to $100 million and a term loan facility of up to $100 million. At
the time of closing of this facility, and as of March 31, 2006, the Company had $22 million of revolving loan borrowings and $100 million of term loan borrowings, the proceeds from which were used to finance the applicable facility fees and to
pay off the balance of the Companys then previous credit facility, which was terminated at the Companys election effective March 31, 2006. The Company used funds generated from operations to make discretionary principal payments
against the revolver in the amounts of $5 million in April 2006, $6.7 million in July 2006, and $10.3 million in October 2006. The October 2006 payment paid off the revolver. The Company also used funds generated from operations to make mandatory
$250,000 principal payments in June, September, and December 2006. As a result of these payments, the outstanding balance of the 2006 credit facility was $99.3 million as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants included in the 2006 credit facility. In connection with the credit facility, the Company agreed to certain financial covenants including maintaining minimum cash balances of $20 million. See Note 6 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the credit facility and related covenants.

The Companys significant contractual
obligations or commercial commitments consist of the Companys operating and capital leases for office facilities and equipment, long-term debt and purchase obligations. As of December 31, 2006, future payments related to contractual
obligations and commercial commitments are as follows:

##### Table of Contents

The Company believes that its existing cash balances and funds expected to be generated from future operations will be
sufficient to satisfy these contractual obligations and commercial commitments and that the ultimate payments associated with these commitments will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys liquidity position.

The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate cash flows from license fees and other operating revenues, providing services to its customers and through
collection of its accounts receivable to maintain current liquidity levels. If the Company is not successful in achieving targeted revenues and expenses or positive cash flows from operations, the Company may be required to take further cost-cutting
measures and restructuring actions or seek alternative sources of funding. Alternative sources of funding may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all, in which case, the Companys business, financial condition or results of
operations may be adversely affected.

The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $23.8 million. Considering current cash
reserves, and other existing sources of liquidity, including its revolving credit facility, management believes that the Company will have sufficient sources of financing to continue its operations through at least the next twelve months. However,
the Company may require additional sources of liquidity to fund any future acquisitions and its future growth. There can be no assurance that the Company will not seek to raise additional capital through the incurrence of debt or issuance of equity
securities in the future.

Foreign Currency Risk

The
Company has several operations in foreign locations around the world. These locations are as follows: Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Middle East, North America and Mexico. The Company has significant international operations in Eastern and
Central Europe, Russia and China. The Companys operations on a combined basis include development centers in Mexico and Russia that incur expenses in foreign currencies, as well as operating offices in the above mentioned locations that incur
revenue and expenses in various foreign currencies. Revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar expose the Company to foreign currency market risk. Unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies may have an adverse impact on the Companys operations. These foreign currency market movements could create a foreign currency gain or loss that could be realized or unrealized for the Company. The
Companys Board of Directors has approved a foreign currency risk policy that allows the Company to enter into forward contracts and purchase option agreements to hedge foreign currency risks. The Company has an on going program to evaluate its
foreign currency risk and to minimize these risks whenever possible through leading and lagging accounts payables and accounts receivables, centralized cash management and other forms of natural hedging. The Company also uses forward contracts or
purchased options to hedge some of its foreign currency transaction exposure. Gains and losses resulting from these transactions are included in other income and expense. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had no open forward contracts or
purchase options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Through December 31, 2006, the Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated entities or other persons.



|Item 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ---------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk.The Companys exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Companys cash and cash equivalents and outstanding debt. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $70.2
million in cash and cash equivalents. Based on the investment interest rate and the balance as of December 31, 2006, a hypothetical 1% decrease in interest rates would decrease interest income by approximately $702,000 on an annual basis, and
likewise decrease the Companys earnings and cash flows. The Company places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Deposits with its US issuers may exceed the
amounts of federal deposit insurance provided on such deposits and deposits held outside the US are not afforded such protection. The Company is averse to principal loss and ensures the safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting
default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. The Company mitigates default risk by investing in only the safest and highest credit quality securities and by constantly positioning its portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant
reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits of cash or cash equivalents.

##### Table of Contents

The Companys interest expense associated with its credit facility will vary with market rates. The Company had
$99.3 million in variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2006. Based upon the variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2006, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately
$993,000 on an annual basis, and likewise decrease the Companys earnings and cash flows. The Company cannot predict market fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on its variable rate debt, nor can there be any assurance that fixed
rate long-term debt will be available to the Company at favorable rates, if at all. Consequently, future results may differ materially from the estimated adverse changes discussed above.

Foreign Currency Risk.The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, primarily in certain European countries, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The Company did not have any foreign currency
forward or option contracts open as of December 31, 2006. International revenues represented 36.8% and 45.8% of the Companys total revenues for years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively, and 27.2% and 33.9% of revenues were
denominated in foreign currencies. Significant currency fluctuations may adversely impact foreign revenues. The Company had unrealized and realized transactional foreign currency gains and (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
of $1,037,000 and $(1,207,000), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006, these transactional gains were primarily due to inter-company revenues and cost of sales. The year-to-date foreign currency transactional gains also include
inter-company balances and non-functional currency cash balances. Given a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in the foreign exchange rate between the USD and other major currencies, the unrealized or realized transaction gain or (loss) would
increase or decrease by approximately USD $1,338,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and likewise increase or decrease the Companys earnings and cash flows for the respective periods. The Company has an on going foreign exchange
program to reduce any transactional foreign currency risk that impacts the income statement. This program includes reducing non-functional currencies cash balances held by any subsidiaries, using natural hedges to offset non-functional currency
intercompany balances, eliminating non-functional intercompany balances where possible, and using forward contracts. All foreign currency forward contracts are settled within the applicable accounting period, and realized gains and losses are
included in the income statement as a result of the settled contracts. As a result, the company did not have any open forward contracts in place at December 31, 2006. We do not use forward contracts for trading purposes. All of these activities
are within the guidelines of the Companys foreign currency risk management policy.

overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Epicor Software Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EPICOR SOFTWARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Epicor Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (Epicor or
the Company) design, develop, market and support integrated enterprise business software solutions for use by mid-size businesses as well as divisions and subsidiaries of larger corporations worldwide. The Company also offers support, consulting and
education services in support of its customers use of its software products. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing
the consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of the Companys long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, lives of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment
and certain accrued liabilities related to restructuring activities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Short-term investments

The Company considers all liquid
interest-earning investments with maturities of more than three months and less than twelve months at the date of purchase to be short-term investments. Short-term investments generally mature between three months and twelve months from the purchase
date based on the Companys cash management policy. All short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market using the specific identification method; unrealized gains and losses are reflected in other
comprehensive income. Cost approximates market for all classifications of cash and short-term investments; realized and unrealized gains and losses are not material.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and payables, and its credit facilities (Note 6). The carrying amounts of these instruments, excluding the credit facilities, approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. The
credit facilities approximate fair value because of their variable interest rates.

Inventory

Inventories, which are comprised solely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or FIFO) or market. Probable losses from
obsolete and slow moving inventories are recorded when identified. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded $200,000 in provision and had a balance of $200,000 for allowance of obsolete and slow moving inventory.

The Company enters into contractual arrangements with end-users of its products to sell software licenses, maintenance services,
consulting services, or various combinations thereof, including the sale of such elements separately. For each arrangement, revenues are recognized when both parties have signed an agreement, the fees to be paid by the customer are fixed or
determinable, collection of the fees is probable, delivery of the product has occurred, vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of any undelivered elements exists and no other significant obligations on the part of the Company
remain.

For multiple-element software arrangements, the Company accounts for the software license component using the residual method. The residual method
generally requires recognition of software license revenue in a multiple-element arrangement once all software products have been delivered and accepted by the customer and the only undelivered elements are maintenance services and/or consulting
services. The fair value of the maintenance services is determined based on VSOE of fair value and is deferred and recorded as revenue ratably over the maintenance term. The residual revenue is allocated to the license fee associated with the
software products in the transaction. The Companys maintenance services VSOE of fair value is determined by reference to the price the Companys customers are required to pay for the services when sold separately (i.e. the
maintenance services fees paid by the Companys customers upon renewal).

If in the services element of the arrangement the Company performs
significant production, modification or customization of its software, the Company applies the provisions of SOP No. 81-1, otherwise SOP No. 97-2 applies.

In certain instances, we enter into arrangements that include two or more non-software products or services such as hardware and related services. Such arrangements are divided into separate units of accounting
provided that the delivered item has stand-alone value and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The total arrangement fee is allocated to the undelivered elements based on their fair values and to the
initial delivered elements using the residual method. Revenue is recognized separately, and in accordance with our revenue recognition policy, for each element.

License Revenues: Amounts allocated to software license revenues are recognized at the time of shipment of the software when fair value for any undelivered elements is determinable and all the other revenue recognition criteria
discussed above have been met.

Revenues on sales made to the Companys resellers are recognized upon shipment of the Companys software to the
reseller when the reseller has an identified end-user and all other revenue recognition criteria noted above are met. Under limited arrangements with certain distributors, all the revenue recognition criteria have been met upon delivery of the
product to the distributor and, accordingly, revenues are recognized at that time. The Company does not offer a right of return on its products.

Consulting Service Revenues: Consulting service revenues are comprised of consulting and implementation services and, to a limited extent, training. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis and can include
services ranging from software installation to data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in integrated environments. Consulting engagements can last anywhere from one week to several months and are based
strictly on the customers requirements and complexities and are independent of the functionality of the Companys software. The Companys software, as delivered, can generally be used by the customer for the customers purpose
upon installation. Further, implementation and

integration services provided are generally not essential to the functionality of the software, as delivered, and do not result in any material changes to
the underlying software code. Services are generally separable from the other elements under the same arrangement since the performance of the services are not essential to the functionality of the other elements of the transaction, the services are
described in the contract such that the total price of the arrangement would be expected to vary as the result of the inclusion or exclusion of the services, and VSOE of fair value exists for the services based on sold separately data. For services
performed on a time-and-material basis, revenue is recognized when the services are performed and billed. On occasion, the Company enters into fixed fee arrangements or arrangements in which customer payments are tied to achievement of specific
milestones. In fixed fee arrangements, revenue is recognized as services are performed as measured by hours incurred to date, as compared to total estimated hours to be incurred to complete the work. In milestone achievement arrangements, the
Company recognizes revenue as the respective milestones are met.

The Company has recorded unbilled
consulting revenues totaling $2,955,000 and $851,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These unbilled revenues represent consulting services performed during the last two weeks of the quarter but not billed until the 15thof the following month. The Company cuts-off consulting billing on the 15thof each month. Unbilled consulting revenue is recorded in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Maintenance Service Revenues: Maintenance service revenues consist primarily of fees for providing unspecified software upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis
and technical support over a specified term, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance revenues are typically paid in advance and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Hardware revenues: In some cases, the Company resells third party hardware systems and related peripherals as part of an end-to-end solution requested by its
customers. Hardware revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable. The Company considers delivery to occur when the product is
shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.

Software License Indemnification: The Companys standard software license
agreements contain an infringement indemnity clause under which we agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless our customers and business partners against liability and damages arising from third party claims that the Companys products
violate or infringe the intellectual property rights of others. These clauses constitute a form of guarantee that is subject to the disclosure requirements, but not the initial recognition or measurement provisions, of Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Company has never lost a third party infringement claim and to date,
the Companys costs to defend such claims and/or lawsuits have been insignificant. Although it is possible that in the future third parties may claim that the Companys current or potential future software solutions infringe on their
intellectual property, a maximum obligation arising out of these types of agreements is not explicitly stated and, therefore, the overall maximum amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company sells its
products directly to end-users, generally requiring an up-front payment and remaining terms appropriate for the creditworthiness of the customer. The Company also sells its products to VARs and other software distributors generally under terms
appropriate for the creditworthiness of the VAR or distributor. The Company believes no significant concentrations of credit risk existed at December 31, 2006. Receivables from customers are generally unsecured. The Company continuously
monitors its customer account balances and actively pursues collections on past due balances.

The Companys accounts receivable go through a
collection process that is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals and the assistance from other personnel within the Company who have a relationship with the customer. If, after a
specified number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, the Company may turn the account over to a collection agency. The Company writes-off accounts to its allowance when the Company has determined that collection is
not likely. The factors considered in reaching this determination are (i) the apparent financial condition of the customer; (ii) the success that the Company has had in contacting and negotiating with the customer and (iii) the number
of days the account has been with a collection agency.

##### Table of Contents

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collections, performance and specific
collection issues. If actual bad debts differ from the reserves calculated, the Company records an adjustment to bad debt expense in the period in which the difference occurs. Such adjustment could result in additional charges to the Companys
results of operations.

Activity for allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):

Property and Equipment

Equipment, furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. The Company depreciates equipment, furniture and fixtures using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
which are generally three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful life or the remaining term of the lease.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangible assets with finite lives, are
evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from future cash flows. Based on the Companys most recent analysis, the Company has concluded there is no
impairment at December 31, 2006.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Accordingly, software
development costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technological feasibility and marketability of a software product are capitalized. Capitalization of costs ceases and amortization of capitalized software development costs commences when
the products are available for general release. Amortization is determined on a product by product basis using the greater of a ratio of current product revenues to projected current and future product revenues or an amount calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product, which is generally three to five years.

Capitalized software development costs are
stated at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable value. Recoverability of these capitalized costs is determined by comparing the forecasted future revenues from the related products, based on managements best estimates using appropriate
assumptions and projections at the time, to the carrying amount of the capitalized software development costs. If the carrying value is determined not to be recoverable from future revenues, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by
which the carrying amount exceeds the future revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no software development costs were capitalized because the time period and cost incurred between technological feasibility and general
release for all software product releases was insignificant.

Intangible Assets

The Companys intangible assets are comprised of acquired technology, customer base, trademarks, covenants not to compete and a third party funded development agreement. These intangibles are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the asset. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of the intangible assets and considers any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Any material changes in circumstances, such as large decreases in revenue or the discontinuation of a particular product line could require future write-downs in the Companys intangible assets and could have a
material adverse impact on the Companys operating results for the periods in which such write-downs occur. Amortization of intangible assets included in cost of license revenues totaled

##### Table of Contents

$17,007,000, $11,759,000 and $7,327,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization included in general and
administration expenses totaled $1,094,000, $581,000 and $171,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performed an impairment review of its recorded
goodwill in 2006 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed because the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. The Company tests its recorded goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if
indicators of potential impairment exist, by determining if the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Factors that could trigger an impairment include, but are not limited to, underperformance relative to historical
or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the Companys overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. Future impairment reviews may require write-downs in
the Companys goodwill and could have a material adverse impact on the Companys operating results for the periods in which such write-downs occur.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $1,226,000, $1,069,000 and
$962,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Companys foreign operations is generally the respective local countrys currency. Assets and liabilities of the foreign
operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, whereas revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and realized transaction gains and (losses) are recorded in results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded translation gains (losses) of $99,000,
$(205,000) and $(1,093,000), respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the Company realized transaction gains (losses) of $1,037,000, $(1,207,000) and $1,698,000,
respectively, in results of operations.

The Companys board of directors has approved a foreign currency risk policy that allows the Company to enter
into forward contracts and purchase option agreements to hedge foreign currency risks. The Company has an on going program to evaluate its foreign currency risk and to minimize these risks whenever possible through leading and lagging accounts
payables and accounts receivables, centralized cash management and other forms of natural hedging. The Company also uses forward contracts or purchased options to hedge some of its foreign currency transaction exposure. Gains and losses resulting
from these transactions are included in other income and expense. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had no open forward contracts or purchase options.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company sells its products directly to end users generally requiring a
significant up-front payment and remaining terms appropriate for the creditworthiness of the customer. The Company also sells its products to Value Added Resellers (VARs) and other software distributors generally under terms appropriate for the
creditworthiness of the VAR or distributor. The Company believes no significant concentrations of credit risk existed at December 31, 2006 or 2005. Receivables from VARs, software distributors and end users are unsecured.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The Company places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by
policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Deposits with its US issuers may exceed the amounts of federal deposit insurance provided on such deposits and deposits held outside the US are not afforded such protection. The Company
is averse to principal loss and ensures the safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. The Company mitigates default risk by investing in only the safest and highest credit quality
securities and by constantly positioning its portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits of cash or cash equivalents.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

Net income per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net
income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and the weighted average common equivalent of convertible preferred stock outstanding for the period, excluding shares of unvested restricted stock.
The convertible preferred stock is included because the holders of the convertible preferred stock participate in any dividends paid on the Companys common stock on an as-converted basis, and because the Company believes the convertible
preferred stock is a participating security that is essentially equivalent to common stock, based on all the rights and preferences of both types of stock. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the
weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if their effect is dilutive.

For the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 options to purchase 571,000, 509,000 and 529,000 shares, respectively, of common stock with weighted average prices of $14.37, $15.07 and $15.16, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the
computation because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

share amounts):

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and has established a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion, or
all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. In making this assessment the Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence
to determine whether, based on such evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the net deferred assets will be realized in future periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123-R). The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123-R in the first
quarter of 2006 and selected the modified prospective method for adoption. Prior to adoption, the Company accounted for the issuance of stock options to employees using the intrinsic value method according to Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The Company granted stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and, accordingly, no compensation expense was recorded
for stock options in prior periods. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123-R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Determining
the fair value of stock options at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected dividends, volatility, terms and estimating the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual forfeitures differ
significantly from the estimates, stock-based compensation expense and the Companys results of operations could be materially impacted.

The Company
also accounts for its restricted stock in accordance with SFAS 123-R. The Company historically recognized compensation expense based on the fair market value of the restricted stock on its grant date, and continues to do so under the provisions of
SFAS 123-R.

Comprehensive Income

Total
comprehensive income represents the net change in stockholders equity during a period from sources other than transactions with stockholders and, as such, includes net income and other specified components. For the Company, the only component
of comprehensive income, other than net income, is the change in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in stockholders equity.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). Under this standard, the Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in
earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that is caused by measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use a different accounting method
than the related hedging contracts when the complex provisions of SFAS 133 hedge accounting are not met. SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption within 120 days of the beginning of the Companys
2007 fiscal year is permissible, provided the Company has not yet issued interim financial statements for 2007 and has adopted SFAS 159. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by prescribing a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, the financial statement effects of a tax position should initially be
recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should initially and subsequently be measured
as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative
effect, if any, of applying the provisions of FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the
Companys results of operations, financial position and liquidity. At this time, the Company does not know what the impact will be upon adoption of this standard.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year
Misstatements (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance

sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB 108 is effective for the
Companys fiscal year 2006 annual financial statements. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

In March 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be
Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) that the entities may adopt a policy of presenting taxes in the income statement on either a gross or net basis. Gross or net presentation may be elected for each
different type of tax, but similar taxes should be presented consistently. Taxes within the scope of this EITF would include taxes that are imposed on a revenue transaction between a seller and a customer, for example, sales taxes, use taxes,
value-added taxes, and some types of excise taxes. The EITF is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. EITF 06-3 will not impact the method for recording these sales taxes in the Companys consolidated financial statements as
the Company has historically presented sales excluding all taxes.

Deferred software license fees have been deferred because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not
been met. Once these criteria have been fully met, the revenue will be recognized. Deferred maintenance represents fees paid in advance and advance billings for unspecified software upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and technical support
over a specified time and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Deferred consulting services represent prepaid and unearned consulting, implementation and training services. Revenue for these services will be recognized
as the services are performed. Long-term deferred revenue relates to amounts deferred for maintenance expected to be provided beyond 2007.

Note 3. Acquisitions

Acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Management is responsible for determining the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represent managements estimate of fair value. The Company conducts an active mergers and acquisitions program. Acquisition candidates are determined
to be viable if they meet the Companys stringent criteria which includes, but is not limited to, product and technology fit, culture, geography, revenue synergies and financial contribution. Because the software industry is consolidating,
the purchase environment is competitive. Valuations are determined through a combination of earnings per share accretion models which assume certain cost synergies, internal rate of return calculations, discounted cash flow models, outside
valuations and appraisals and market conditions. The results of the acquisitions are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations from the respective acquisition dates forward.

Scala Africa

On October 6, 2006, pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Scala Africa (Proprietary) Limited (Scala Africa) including subsidiary company Scala Business Software (Proprietary) Ltd (SBS) and the assets of Scala East Africa Limited
(SEA). Prior to the acquisition, Scala Africa had been a distributor of Scalas products and related consulting services in Africa. This acquisition is consistent with the Companys continuing efforts to make selective acquisitions of
dealers and partners in countries where the Company has a strong installed base of customers.

The purchase price was allocated to Scala Africas
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of October 6, 2006. The preliminary allocation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The significant areas of the
purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of identified intangible assets. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which is subject to completion (in thousands):

Goodwill is not amortizable for tax in the foreign jurisdictions. The pro forma impact of this acquisition was not
significant to the Companys historical operations.

CRS

On December 6, 2005, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired approximately 96% of the outstanding capital stock of CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc. (CRS), a privately held company. The Company acquired the
remaining 4% of the outstanding capital stock of CRS effective December 20, 2005. CRS is a provider of merchandising and point-of sale software solutions, hardware and services to the specialty retail industry.

The total purchase price of CRS is as follows (in thousands):



|                     |  |   |        
|-------------------- |  | - | -------
|Cash paid            |  | $ | 121,000

|Total purchase price |  | $ | 123,539
|                     |  |   |        

The Company used working capital and funds available under a Credit Agreement (Note 6) in order to finance the
acquisition.

During 2006, the Company incurred an additional $293,000 in transaction costs as a result of additional legal and accounting costs incurred
related to the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, the Company closed one of the CRS facilities in 2006, resulting in a $238,000 increase in goodwill and accrual of facility exit and severance costs in accordance with EITF Issue
No. 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Business Combination, (Note 5). During 2006, goodwill increased by $1,142,000 as a result of changes in the original fair value estimates for inventory. The Company
completed a fair market value analysis on deferred revenue and recorded a $620,000 increase in goodwill and increase of deferred revenue. Goodwill was reduced during 2006 by $2,094,000 related to additional net operating loss carryforwards
identified in connection with the filing of CRS tax returns, tax effect of changes in the original fair value estimates for inventory and deferred revenue, and other tax related items.

The purchase price was allocated to CRSs tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of December 6, 2005 with the excess ascribed to goodwill. The
following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):

The acquired in-process research and development of $2,000,000 arose from new product projects that were under
development at the date of the acquisition and were expected to eventually lead to new products but had not yet established technological feasibility and for which no future alternative use was identified. The valuation of the

in-process research and development projects was based upon the discounted expected future cash flows of the products over the products expected life,
reflecting the estimated stage of completion of the projects and the estimate of the costs to complete the projects. This acquired in-process research and development was written-off during the fourth quarter of 2005. Four in-process research
and development projects were identified, ranging in completeness from 20% to 40%. Two of these projects are significant enhancements to existing projects; one was completed as of December 31, 2006 and the other is expected to be completed in
2007 and represent 50% of the in-process research and development. The other two projects are new modules to existing products; one was completed as of December 31, 2006 and the other is expected to be completed in 2007. These
represent the other 50% of the in-process research and development. The total estimated cost to complete the remaining two projects at December 31, 2006 is approximately $621,000.

Goodwill and identified specific intangibles recorded in this transaction are not deductible for Federal tax purposes. Included in the above purchase price allocation is $2,524,000 of net deferred tax assets.

Scala Italy

July 2005 and $108,000 was paid in April 2006. The final payment, which was earned as of December 31, 2005, represents the amount due on a contingent earn-out against maintenance and support revenues generated by Scala Italys customer
base.

working capital adjustment based on the difference of the target working capital of Strongline, as specified in the Share Purchase Agreement, and the actual working capital as of the acquisition date. In June 2005, the working capital adjustment was
finalized for $1,395,000 and was paid in July 2005.

Scala

On June 18, 2004, the Company acquired 22,570,851 ordinary shares of Scala Business Solutions N.V. (Scala), a publicly held software company headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, by means of an exchange offer made for all of the
outstanding ordinary shares of Scala (the Exchange Offer). On July 8, 2004, the Company acquired 1,096,048 shares of Scala during a subsequent offering period. The shareholders of Scala received 0.1795 newly issued shares of the Company common
stock and a cash payment of $1.8230 for each Scala ordinary share validly tendered during the initial and subsequent offering period. On July 12, 2004, the Company purchased 27,452 additional Scala shares on Euronext for a price of $83,500. As
described below, on August 9, 2005, the Company deposited the funds to buy-out the remaining 461,074 Scala shares not owned by the Company. Therefore, as of August 9, 2005, the Company became the legal owner of all outstanding
Scala shares.

Scala designs, develops, markets and supports collaborative enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that is used by the small- and
medium-size divisions and subsidiaries of large multinational corporations, as well as by independent stand-alone companies, in developed and emerging markets. Scalas solutions are based on a web services platform and utilize Microsoft® technologies. Scalas software and services
support local currencies and accounting regulations, are available in more than 30 languages, and are used by customers in over 140 countries. The Scala acquisition provides the Company with a significantly expanded worldwide presence and
synergistic product offerings; both of which contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the creation of goodwill.

Pro Forma Information

Actual results of operations of the companies acquired in 2006, 2005 and 2004 are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations data of the Company set forth
below gives effect to the acquisitions by Epicor of CRS using the purchase method as if it occurred on January 1, 2005 and includes amortization of identified intangibles, interest expense on debt incurred to finance the acquisitions,
elimination of amortization and interest related to CRS debt and intangibles not assumed in the acquisition, and the write-off of in-process research and development. The pro forma impact of Scala Africa, Scala Romania and Scala Italy are not
included as the impact of these acquisitions was not significant to the Companys historical results of operations. The following pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
consolidated financial position or results of operations for future periods or the financial position or result of operations that actually would have been realized had the acquisitions occurred at that time (in thousands, except per share

Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method, goodwill is recorded for the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and
identified intangible assets acquired. SFAS 142 requires a periodic review of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles for possible impairment. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company performed an impairment review of its recorded goodwill in 2006
and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed because the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. The following table represents the balance and changes in goodwill by reporting unit as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

The 2006 change in CRS goodwill is comprised of $1,762,000 as a result of changes in the original fair value
estimates for inventory and deferred revenue and $293,000 as a result of additional legal and accounting costs incurred related to the acquisition. Goodwill was further increased by $238,000 due to a restructuring reserve. Goodwill was reduced
during 2006 by $2,094,000 related to additional net operating loss carryforwards identified in connection with the filing of CRS tax returns, tax effect of changes in the original fair value estimates for inventory and deferred revenue, and other
tax related items. The change in Scala goodwill is primarily due to the release of restructuring accrual for severance and facilities charges that will not be incurred, and a decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

For 2005, the change in Strongline goodwill is the result of the Company recording a working capital adjustment and management completing its analysis during the year of
2005 of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The additional Scala goodwill is the result of additional transaction costs incurred during 2005, the buy-out of the remaining outstanding shares and a liability for
pre-acquisition tax contingencies. The reduction of ROI goodwill is related to the release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and is in accordance with SFAS No. 109.

2005 CRS Acquisition

In connection with the Companys acquisition of CRS Retail Technology Group on December 6, 2005, the Company formulated a restructuring plan to close one of the CRS facilities. In connection with this, the Company recorded a
liability of $238,000 for the restructuring costs associated with the CRS reduction in workforce and the closure of a CRS facility. This liability included $145,000 for separation costs for terminated employees and $93,000 for the closing of the CRS
facility. In conjunction with this restructuring, ten CRS employees, or 3% of the CRS workforce, will be terminated from all functional areas. As of December 31, 2006, five of these terminations have been made. Lease payments on the CRS
facility that was vacated will continue to be made until the respective noncancelable terms of the lease expire in 2008. As of December 31, 2006, the remaining balance is $143,000 and represents $93,000 of facility charges and $50,000 for
severance.

2005 Restructuring Charges

For the year
ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $359,000. This charge represents severance costs related to the fourth quarter 2005 reorganization. In connection with these restructuring activities, the Company terminated
14 employees, or less than 1% of the Companys workforce at that time, from various functions across the Company. All of these terminations have been completed, and as of December 31, 2006, the balance related to this restructuring is
zero.

2004 Restructuring Charges

For the year ended
December 31, 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,382,000. This charge represents $437,000 of separation costs related to the first quarter 2004 reorganization of one of the Companys product lines and the movement of
certain development efforts to Mexico as part of an overall cost reduction program. In connection with these restructuring activities, the Company terminated 35 employees, or 4% of the Companys workforce at that time, from all functional areas
of the Company. As of December 31, 2006, all of these terminations had been completed. The remaining charge includes (i) $504,000 for an addition to a previously recorded loss on one of the Companys domestic facilities due to the
renegotiation of a sublease agreement with one of the Companys current subtenants, (ii) $98,000 for a loss recorded on one of the Companys international facilities due to the determination that sublease income on this facility would
not be realized according to the original estimate due to current economic conditions in this region, (iii) $684,000 for a loss recorded on another of the Companys international facilities due to the unanticipated loss of its sublease
income and (iv) $659,000 for a

loss recorded on one of the Companys domestic facilities as a result of a new sublease agreement entered into in 2004. At December 31, 2006, the
remaining balance is $954,000 and represents facility charges. Lease payments on buildings vacated or downsized will continue to be made until the respective noncancelable terms of the lease expire in 2009.

2004 Scala Acquisition

In connection with the Companys
acquisition of Scala on June 18, 2004, the Company formulated a restructuring plan for the Scala operations. In connection with this, the Company recorded a liability of $6,248,000 for the restructuring costs associated with the Scala reduction
in workforce and the closure of certain Scala offices. This liability included $4,897,000 for separation costs for terminated employees and $1,351,000 for the closing of certain of Scalas facilities and tax audits. In conjunction with the
acquisition, 120 Scala employees, or 21% of the Scala workforce, were terminated from all functional areas. As of December 31, 2006, all of these terminations have been completed. In December 2006, the Company reversed the reserve against
goodwill related to facilities where leases were either surrendered with no further obligation or subleased for the remainder of the lease. In addition, severance reserves were reversed against goodwill as a result of the settlement of estimated
obligations. As of December 31, 2006, the balance related to outstanding severance obligations is $226,000 for payments to terminated employees which are in accordance with their severance agreements.

2002 Restructuring Charges

In 2002, the Company underwent a
restructuring of its operations in an effort to reduce its cost structure through a reduction in workforce and the consolidation of certain of its facilities.

For facility costs included in the restructuring charge, the associated subleased and unoccupied space is physically separate from the utilized space of the facility. The balance at December 31, 2006 is $348,000. Although the
consolidation efforts were substantially completed as of the end of 2002, lease payments on the buildings that were vacated or downsized will continue to be made until the respective noncancelable terms of the leases expire in 2009.

On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with several financial institutions (the 2006
credit facility), which provides for revolving loans of up to $100 million (inclusive of a $20 million letter of credit sublimit) and a term loan facility of up to $100 million. At the time of closing of this facility, the Company had $22 million of
revolving loan borrowings and $100 million of term loan borrowings, the proceeds from which were used to finance the applicable facility fees and to pay off the 2005 credit facility, which was terminated at the Companys election effective
March 31, 2006.

The Company used funds generated from operations to make discretionary principal payments against the revolver in the amounts $5.0
million in April 2006, $6.7 million in July 2006, and $10.3 million in October 2006, and mandatory principal payments of $250,000 against the term loan in June, September and December 2006. As a result of these payments, the outstanding balance
under the 2006 credit line was $99.3 million as of December 31, 2006, all of which was attributable to the term loan facility.

Interest and minimum
principal installments of $250,000 are payable quarterly during the term of the term loan facility and any unpaid principal balance is due on March 30, 2012. Interest payments on the revolving loan are payable quarterly during the term of the
revolving loan and any principal balance is due on March 30, 2009. The Company can reduce the outstanding principal under the revolving loan in whole or in part at its election without any prepayment penalties and under the term loan facility
in whole or in part without any prepayment penalties

after the first anniversary of the closing date of the facility. Voluntary prepayments made prior to the first anniversary of the term loan facility are
subject to penalty equal to 1.0% of the amount prepaid. In certain circumstances, proceeds generated from asset sales and/or debt or securities issuances must be used to prepay the principal balance under the term loan facility. Interest under this
facility is based on various possible rates at prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the Companys leverage ratio, at the Companys option; provided that the initial borrowing for each of the revolving loan and term loan
must be based on the prime rate plus applicable margin for a 3- and 14-day period, respectively, following closing.

To secure the obligations under the
2006 credit facility, the Company entered into a general security agreement to pledge a first priority security interest in and to its assets, and a security and pledge agreement to grant a first priority security interest in and to the capital
stock of certain of the Companys subsidiaries. The Companys obligations under the 2006 credit facility are also secured by an irrevocable and unconditional guaranty by CRS Retail Systems, Inc., a Company subsidiary (CRS). To secure its
obligations under the guarantee, CRS also entered into a general security agreement to pledge a first priority security interest in and to its assets. Each of the aforementioned agreements continue in force so long as the Companys underlying
obligations under the 2006 facility remain outstanding.

Under the 2006 credit facility the Company is required to comply with various financial covenants.
The significant financial covenants include:



| |  |  | Achieving minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Achieving minimum funded debt to EBITDA ratios;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Achieving minimum fixed charge coverage ratios and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Maintaining minimum cash balances through maturity.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

Additional material covenants under this facility include limitations on the Companys indebtedness, liens on the Companys assets, investments, dividends, and certain acquisitions and dispositions of assets by the Company and the
requirement that the Company maintain ratings with Moodys Investor Services, Inc. and Standard & Poors Ratings Group. From time to time the Company may borrow in foreign currencies to hedge its currency risks around the world.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants included in the terms of the 2006 credit facility. The weighted average
interest rate applicable to the term loan was 7.83% at December 31, 2006. There was no principal outstanding under the revolver at December 31, 2006.

In March 2005, the Company syndicated a two year $50 million senior revolving credit facility with several financial institutions (the 2005 credit facility). This facility included an accordion feature that allowed the Company
to increase the line of credit up to $125 million under certain conditions. At the time of the closing of this facility, the Company had $25 million in outstanding borrowings. The proceeds from this facility were used to pay off the balance under
the prior credit facility, which was terminated at the Companys election in March 2005. The Company used funds generated from operations to make discretionary $5 million principal payments towards the 2005 credit facility in April, July and
October 2005. In November 2005, the Company exercised the accordion feature to increase the commitment to $125 million and the Company borrowed $115 million available under the facility to acquire CRS. In January 2006, the Company used
funds generated from operations to make a discretionary principal payment of $5 million reducing the outstanding balance of the 2005 credit facility to $119 million.

Leases

The Company leases certain of its operating facilities and equipment under operating leases with
terms expiring through 2019. The Company also leases certain equipment in which the agreement contains a bargain purchase option until 2007. As a result, the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments is recorded as a capitalized
lease obligation.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under capital leases, operating leases and future noncancellable sublease
income (in thousands):

$6,878,000 for 2004.

Employment Agreements

The
Company has entered into agreements that provide its executive officers with compensation totaling from 6 to 18 months base salary and bonus in the event the Company terminates the executive without cause, including as a result of a change of
control of the Company. The agreements also call for such payments, as well as the acceleration of vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock under certain circumstances related primarily to a change in control of the Company.

Litigation

The Company is subject to other
legal proceedings and claims in the normal course of business. The Company is currently defending these proceedings and claims, and anticipates that it will be able to resolve these matters in a manner that will not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These
contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture and acquisition agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to either (a) purchasers of the Companys businesses or assets; or (b) entities from whom
the Company is acquiring assets or businesses; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities and other claims arising from the Companys use of
the applicable premises; (iii) certain agreements with the Companys officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company;
and (iv) Company license and consulting agreements with its customers, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such customers for intellectual property infringement claims and other claims arising from the Companys provision
of services to such customers.

The terms of such obligations vary. A maximum obligation arising out of these types of agreements is not explicitly
stated and, therefore, the overall maximum amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Specifically with respect to past divestiture agreements, the Company has been subject to capped indemnification provisions for claims by the
acquirer of a nature specified in such agreements. These indemnity caps have ranged from $1.0 million to $3.5 million, but all such capped indemnity provisions have expired.

As previously disclosed, in 2005 the Company released the valuation allowance related to substantially all U.S.
federal and state deferred tax assets and certain foreign deferred tax assets. With respect to the remaining deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance until
sufficient positive evidence exists to determine that realization of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not to occur.

Additionally, under the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and related interpretations, future period reductions to the valuation allowance related to Scalas deferred tax assets that existed as of the date of acquisition of
Scala are first credited against goodwill, then to the unamortized balance of other identifiable intangible assets recorded at the date of acquisition, and then, once these assets have been reduced to zero, credited to the income tax provision. The
valuation allowance related to Scalas pre-acquisition deferred tax assets is approximately $6.9 million at December 31, 2006. Such amount will be credited to goodwill if or when the valuation allowance reverses.

The deferred tax provision includes a $1.6 million tax benefit from stock compensation recorded to additional paid in capital and a $.9 million tax benefit from
utilization of acquired net operating losses with a corresponding valuation allowance recorded to goodwill and approximately $2.3 million recorded through purchase accounting.

The Company has U.S. federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2006, of approximately $101.3 million, $35.3 million and $128.9 million, respectively. The federal and state
losses expire in the years 2007 through 2022. Approximately $34.4 million of the U.S. federal NOL is subject to annual limitations on utilization equal to approximately $12.1 million pursuant to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The foreign
losses generally have no expiration date. In addition, the Company has approximately $2.0 million of federal and state research and development credit carryforwards that expire in the years 2007 through 2025.

U.S. deferred income taxes were not provided for on undistributed earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries at December 31, 2006. Those earnings are considered to
be permanently reinvested in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 23 and will not be remitted to the U.S.

The Company believes it has
adequately provided for income tax issues not yet resolved with federal, state and foreign tax authorities. Although not probable, the most adverse resolution of these issues could result in additional charges to earnings in future periods.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

General

The Companys share based awards are long-term retention plans that are intended to attract,
retain and provide incentives for talented employees, including officers and non-employee directors, and to align employee and stockholder interests. The Company believes its share based awards are critical to its operation and productivity. The
employee share based award plans allow the Company to grant, on a discretionary basis, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock.

Employee Stock Option Plans

Historically, the Company has granted stock options to its employees, including executive officers, from
its various plans. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, generally vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Due to the adoption of SFAS 123-R, the Company has
elected to no longer grant stock options.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan authorizing the issuance of up to 1,250,000 shares of common stock to participating employees. The plan permits employees to purchase common stock at a price equal to
95% of the fair market value at the end of a six-month offering period. Beginning February 2006, the Companys ESPP program is non-compensatory, and therefore no additional stock-based compensation expense will be recorded.

Restricted stock

The Company has granted restricted stock to
key employees, including officers. Nonvested shares (restricted stock) are shares that are restricted because the agreed-upon consideration, such as employee services or performance condition, has not yet been received or
achieved. Restricted stock cannot be sold. The restriction on sale of restricted stock is due to the forfeitability of the shares if specified events occur (or do not occur).

The Company adopted SFAS 123-R during the first quarter of 2006. Prior to that, the Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation  Transition and Disclosure, and, accordingly, accounted for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations.

The Company elected to utilize the modified prospective method for the transition to SFAS
123-R. Under the modified prospective method, SFAS 123-R applies to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, under the modified prospective method, compensation expense will be recognized for all stock-based
compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123.

The following table sets forth the total stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, restricted stock awards, and the employee stock purchase plan included in the Companys Consolidated
Statements of Operations (in thousands):

Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $2,245,000, $2,299,000 and $2,393,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In accordance with SFAS 123-R, the Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, if any, as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows. For the year
ended December 31, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by and financing activities increased by $1,784,000 related to excess tax benefits from exercise of stock-based awards. The Company is making a one-time accounting
policy election to adopt the short-cut method of FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 123-R-3 for calculating the pool of windfall tax benefits.

Under SFAS 123 the Company based its expense calculation for the stock compensation pro forma footnote disclosure on actual forfeitures; however, SFAS 123-R
requires an estimate of forfeitures be used in the calculation. Upon adoption of SFAS 123-R the Company changed its methodology to include an estimate of forfeitures.

The following table sets forth share-based compensation related to stock options, employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock (in thousands):

No share-based compensation was capitalized for the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company complied with APB No. 25 in accounting for stock options issued to employees and the
employee stock purchase plan. Stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized for options issued to employees and stock
issued under the stock purchase plan. In accordance with the modified prospective method of transition to SFAS 123-R, prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard. Had compensation cost for the Companys
stock option plans and stock purchase plan been determined based upon fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income and net income per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per
share amounts):

For purposes of computing pro forma net income, the Company estimated the fair value of each option grant and
employee stock purchase plan right on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable, while the options issued by the Company are subject to both vesting and restrictions on transfer. In addition, option-pricing models require input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility and
expected life. The Company used historical data for expected volatility and the expected life of its stock options.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123-R,
the Companys income before income taxes and net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is lower by $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, than if the Company had

continued to account for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB 25 and related Interpretations, as permitted by
SFAS 123. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $0.03 lower than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25.

The weighted average assumptions used to value the option grants and the stock purchase plan rights are as follows. As there were no options granted for the year ended
December 31, 2006, no data is provided for stock option plans with respect to the weighted average assumptions used to value the option grants and the stock purchase plan rights.

On March 18, 2003, the compensation committee of the board of directors granted to the Companys CEO the right
to receive 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock for a purchase price equal to the par value of such stock. The first grant was effective immediately and consisted of 1,000,000 shares. The second grant of 2,000,000 was conditioned upon stockholder
approval of an increase in the number of shares reserved under the Companys 1999 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. Such stockholder approval was obtained on May 20, 2003. Based on the market value of the Companys stock on the grant
date for the 1,000,000 share grant and the market value of the Companys stock on the stockholder approval date for the 2,000,000 share grant, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $2,364,000 and $2,364,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The restricted stock was fully vested as of December 31, 2005, and there is no future compensation expense related to these shares.

In July 2005, the Company granted to certain officers the right to receive 140,000 restricted shares for a purchase price equal to the par value of such stock. In October 2005, the Company granted to certain officers
the right to receive 61,200 restricted shares for a purchase price equal to the par value of such stock. During 2006 the Company granted to various members of management and Board of Directors the right to receive 218,333 restricted shares for a
purchase price equal to the par value of such stock. These restricted shares generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date, then quarterly in equal installments over the remaining three years.

During 2006, the Company granted 2,131,750 shares of performance-based restricted stock for a purchase price equal to the par value of such stock. The shares are subject
to a vesting schedule and were granted to various members of management. The recipients will vest in the restricted stock, or a portion thereof, in three equal, annual installments depending upon achievement of targets with respect to the
Companys annual revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for each of three performance years. Restricted stock is held in escrow, and the Companys reacquisition right will not lapse
until the shares are fully vested. Shares that have not vested upon the employees termination of service with the Company will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company. In addition, restricted shares that do
not vest as a result of the Companys non-achievement with respect to annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company.

The performance condition for each year is an independent performance condition. Therefore, although compensation expense for all three years will be measured based on
the grant date fair value of the shares, the related compensation expense will be recognized separately in each year related only to the shares potentially earned in each year, assuming that it is considered to be probable that the shares will be
earned each year.

At December 31, 2006, there was approximately $3,209,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock,
excluding performance-based restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The compensation cost related to the performance-based restricted stock depends on the
estimated number of shares that will vest, based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. The Company is required at each reporting date to assess whether achievement of any performance condition is probable. The Company has
recorded stock compensation expense related to these grants of $5,900,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, based on the Companys achievement of its revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets. The Company anticipates it will recognize
compensation expense related to the 2007 and 2008 performance-based restricted in an amount greater than 2006 due to additional participants. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $857,000. The following table is a rollforward of
restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2006:

##### Table of Contents

On February 15, 2007, the Companys reacquisition rights lapsed on 493,512 shares related to the
performance-based restricted stock plan. These shares are included in restricted stock at the end of the period in the above table. The lapse occurred following the Companys determination of its achievement of 2006 performance year targets. As
discussed above, the compensation expense related to these shares is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

For the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the weighted average fair value on
the date of grant was $4.86 and $6.46, per option, respectively. No options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the options exercisable weighted average remaining contractual term and aggregate
intrinsic value of options exercisable was 6.1 years and $14,038,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, options vested and expected to vest of 2,622,000, had a weighted average remaining contractual term and aggregate intrinsic value of
6.3 years and $16,090,000, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, the difference between the
Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the year and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31,
2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Companys stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $5,494,000, $6,078,000 and $8,968,000, respectively.
The fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $7,676,000, $17,048,000 and $9,267,000, respectively.

Stock Option Exchange Program

In January 2001, the Company offered to current employees that held stock options the opportunity to
exchange all of their outstanding stock options for restricted shares of the Companys common stock, at a price equal to the par value of such common stock. All employees who accepted the offer received one share of restricted stock for every
two options exchanged. The restricted stock vested over a period of two to four years, depending upon whether the exchanged options were vested or unvested at the time of the exchange. Employees who elected to exchange their options were ineligible
for stock option grants for a period of six months and one day following the exchange date of January 26, 2001. As of December 31, 2005, all shares had vested. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded
compensation expense of $15,000 and $254,000, respectively, related to this restricted stock.

Future Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2006, the unvested stock options cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year. The unvested restricted
stock cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. Estimated future stock-based compensation expense to be charged to operations for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

The above includes estimated stock-based compensation expense to be charged to expense as a result of the Companys
adoption of SFAS 123-R, which requires expense recognition for the fair value of all share-based payments to employees effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. All restricted shares issued in the stock option exchange program
fully vested as of January 26, 2005, and all compensation expense related to these shares had been recorded as of December 31, 2005. On December 18, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company authorized
the Company to accelerate the vesting of certain unvested and out-of-the-money stock options outstanding under the Companys stock plans that have exercise prices per share of $14.31 or higher. Options to purchase approximately
475,000 shares of the Companys common stock became exercisable immediately. Options held by non-employee directors were not included in the vesting acceleration. In addition, in order to prevent unintended personal benefits to executive
officers, restrictions will be imposed on any shares received through the exercise of accelerated options held by those individuals. Those restrictions will prevent the sale of any shares received from the exercise of an accelerated option until the
date on which such shares would have vested under the options original vesting terms.

Note 10. Shareholder Rights Plan

On March 9, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the Plan) that is intended to protect stockholders from unfair takeover practices. Under
the Plan, each share of common stock carries a right to obtain additional stock according to terms provided in the Plan. The rights will not be exercisable or separable from the common stock until a third-party acquires at least 20% of the
Companys then outstanding common stock or commences a tender offer for at least 20% of the Companys then outstanding common stock. In the event the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation or 50% or more of the Companys consolidated assets or earning power are sold or transferred, each right will entitle its holder to receive, at the then current exercise price, common stock of the
acquiring company having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. If a person or entity were to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock, or if the Company is not the surviving
corporation in a merger and its common stock is not changed or exchanged, each right will entitle the holder to receive at the then current exercise price common stock having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. Until a
right is exercised, the holder of a right, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the rights to vote as a stockholder or receive dividends.

Note 11. Preferred Stock

Series C

On May 26, 1995, the Company issued 231,598 shares of newly created Series C Preferred Stock. The preferred shares were issued at a price of $78.70 per share. Such
Series C preferred stock was convertible into common shares of the Company on a ten-for-one basis at any time at the option of the holders. These shares have been fully converted as of December 31, 2005, with the final conversion of the
remaining 61,735 shares completed on November 12, 2004. These shares were converted on a ten-for-one basis to 617,350 shares of common stock.

Series D

On February 13, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of 300,000 shares of newly created Series D preferred
stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $5,730,000. The Company sold the shares, each of which were convertible into 10 shares of the Companys common stock, to investment funds affiliated with Trident Capital (Trident), a venture
capital firm, pursuant to a Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2003, between the Company and Trident. The price of the Series D preferred stock was determined to be $19.10, reflecting the Companys common
stock closing price of $1.91 on February 10, 2003, the day preceding the purchase agreement.

Note 12. Treasury Stock

The shares held in treasury were acquired by
the Company as a result of the vesting of restricted stock, pursuant to the stock option exchange program executed in January 2001, and the issuance of restricted shares to the Companys CEO and management. The Company repurchases a portion of
the vested shares as consideration for the Companys payment of the required withholding taxes. As of December 31, 2006, these repurchased shares are held in treasury and are available for future reissuance.

In conjunction with the quarterly vesting of the restricted stock issued in connection with the stock option exchange program and the issuance of restricted stock, the
following treasury stock acquisitions were made during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

Note 13. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a 401(k) salary deferral plan (the 401(k) Plan), which is funded based on employee contributions. Terms of the 401(k) Plan provide for the Company to make contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of
each eligible employee (as defined) in an amount equal to 50% on the first 4% of the eligible employees deferred compensation contribution (as defined). The Companys contributions to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $1,344,000,
$979,000 and $993,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

In January 2005, the Company implemented a deferred
compensation plan which permits certain eligible U.S. executives to defer a portion of their compensation. Benefit payments under the plan are funded by contributions from the participants. There is no Company match. At
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of deferred compensation included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amounts are unsecured obligations of the
Company.

Note 14. Segment and Geographic Information

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company has prepared operating segment information to report components that are evaluated regularly by the
Companys chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Companys reportable operating
segments include software licenses, consulting, maintenance and hardware and other. Currently, the Company does not separately allocate operating expenses to these segments, nor does it allocate specific assets to these segments. Therefore, the
segment information reported includes only revenues, cost of revenues and gross profit.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures

The Companys management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, the Companys principal executive officer and principal
financial officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

(b) Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Epicors management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal
control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because
of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.

We assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in it report entitled Internal Control 
Integrated Framework.

Based on its assessment using those criteria, management (including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer)
has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Managements assessment of the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by McGladrey and Pullen, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which is included
herein.

(c) Changes in Internal Control

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

Epicor Software Corporation

Irvine, California

We have audited management's assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Epicor Software Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria
established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Epicor Software Corporations management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In our opinion, management's assessment that Epicor Software Corporation and subsidiaries maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Epicor Software Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on
criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Epicor Software Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows of Epicor Software Corporation and subsidiaries and our report dated March 11, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Board would cease making grants under the Non-Shareholder Approved Plans. Because the share increase to the 1999 Plan was approved, the Company will no longer make additional grants under those Non-Shareholder Approved Plans.

1993 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan

In
July 1993, the Board of Directors approved the 1993 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the 1993 Plan). The 1993 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to officers and other key employees, consultants, business associates and others
with important business relationships with us at the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The plan administrator determines, on a grant-by-grant basis, when options granted under the 1993 Plan may be exercised. The 1993
Plan provides that vested options may be exercised for 3 months after termination of employment other than due to death or disability and for 1 year after termination of employment as a result of death or disability. The 1993 Plan permits options to
be exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, promissory notes, cancellation of indebtedness, waiver of compensation due or consideration received by us under cashless exercise programs. In the event that we
merge with or into another corporation, or sell substantially all of our assets, the 1993 Plan provides that each outstanding option will fully vest and become exercisable unless provision is made in writing in connection with the transaction for
options to be assumed or substituted for by the successor corporation. There are 120,690 shares of common stock reserved under the 1993 Plan and no more options may be granted under the 1993 Plan per note 5 above.

1996 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan

In February 1996, the Board of
Directors approved the 1996 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan). The 1996 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to non-executive officers and other key employees, consultants, business associates and others with
important business relationships with us at the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The plan administrator determines, on a grant-by-grant basis, when options granted under the 1996 Plan may be exercised. The 1996 Plan
permits options to be exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, promissory notes, cancellation of indebtedness, waiver of compensation due or consideration received by us under cashless exercise programs. In
the event of our change of control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or our sale of substantially all of our assets), the 1996 Plan provides that each optionee may exercise his or her option with respect to any or all of the
shares subject to the option (including shares that were unvested prior to the change of control) and may, depending on the nature of the change of control, exchange the option for a cash payment determined by multiplying the number of vested shares
by the excess of any per share merger consideration over the per share exercise price. There are 114,675 shares of common stock reserved under the 1996 Plan and no more options may be granted under the 1996 Plan per note 5 above.

1997 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan

In July 1997, the Board of
Directors approved the 1997 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the 1997 Plan). The 1997 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to employees, consultants, business associates and

##### Table of Contents

others with important business relationships with us at the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The plan administrator determines,
on a grant-by-grant basis, when options granted under the 1997 Plan may be exercised. The 1997 Plan permits options to be exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, promissory notes, cancellation of indebtedness, waiver of
compensation due or consideration received by us under cashless exercise programs. In the event of our change of control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or our sale of substantially all of our assets), the 1997
Plan provides that each optionee may exercise his or her option with respect to any or all of the shares subject to the option (including shares that were unvested prior to the change of control) and may, depending on the nature of the change of
control, exchange the option for a cash payment determined by multiplying the number of vested shares by the excess of any per share merger consideration over the per share exercise price. There are 60,974 shares of common stock reserved under the
1997 Plan and no more options may be granted under the 1997 Plan per note 5 above.

1998 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan

In April 1998, the Board of Directors approved the 1998 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan). The Board of Directors subsequently amended the 1998 Plan in July
1998 to increase the number of authorized shares. The 1998 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to officers and employees, members of our Board of Directors, consultants, business associates and others with important business
relationships with us at the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The plan administrator determines, on a grant-by-grant basis, when options granted under the 1998 Plan may be exercised. The 1998 Plan permits options to be
exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, promissory notes, cancellation of indebtedness, waiver of compensation due or consideration received by us under cashless exercise programs. In the event of our change
of control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or our sale of substantially all of our assets), the 1998 Plan provides that each optionee may exercise his or her option with respect to any or all of the shares subject to the
option (including shares that were unvested prior to the change of control) and may, depending on the nature of the change of control, exchange the option for a cash payment determined by multiplying the number of vested shares by the excess of any
per share merger consideration over the per share exercise price. There are 272,535 shares of common stock reserved under the 1998 Plan and no more options may be granted under the 1998 Plan per note 5 above.

1999 Merger Transition Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan

In February
1999, the Board of Directors approved the 1999 Merger Transition Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the Transition Plan). The Transition Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants at the
fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. However, option grants to individuals at the level of vice-president or higher are limited to former DataWorks employees as an essential inducement to their entering into an employment
agreement with us. The plan administrator determines, on a grant-by-grant basis, when options granted under the Transition Plan may be exercised. The Transition Plan provides that vested options may generally be exercised for 3 months after
termination of employment and for 12 months after termination of employment as a result of death or disability. The Transition Plan generally permits options to be exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, promissory
notes, cancellation of indebtedness or consideration received by us under a cashless exercise program. In the event of our change in control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or our sale of substantially all of our
assets), the Transition Plan provides that each outstanding option will fully vest and become exercisable. There are 37,600 shares of common stock reserved under the Transition Plan and no more options may be granted under the 1999 Plan per note 5
above.

2003 CFO Option Plan

On May 20, 2003, the
Board of Directors approved the 2003 CFO Option Plan (the CFO Plan). The CFO Plan provides for the one-time option grant of 250,000 shares of common stock to the Companys new CFO, Michael A. Piraino, as an essential inducement for
his accepting the CFO position with Epicor in May 2003. The options are valued as of the date Mr. Piraino began his employment with the Company. Under the terms of the CFO Plan, 25% of the grant vests on the first anniversary date of the grant
with the remaining 75% vesting quarterly over the next three year period such that the entire grant is vested in four years. The CFO Plan permits options to be exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, waiver of
compensation due or consideration received by us under cashless exercise programs. In the event of our change of control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or our sale of substantially all of our assets), the CFO
Plan provides that Mr. Piraino may exercise his option with respect to any or all of the shares subject to the option (including shares that were

unvested prior to the change of control) and may, depending on the nature of the change of control, exchange the option for a cash payment determined by
multiplying the number of vested shares by the excess of any per share merger consideration over the per share exercise price. There are 159,800 shares of common stock reserved under the CFO Plan and no more options may be granted under the CFO
Plan.
