NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

We are a leading provider of customer service and contact center software, used by global enterprises and fast-growing businesses. Trusted by prominent enterprises and growing mid-sized companies worldwide, eGain’s award-winning software has been helping organizations achieve and sustain customer service excellence for more than a decade.

We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and included the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008 has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of our operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2009, we had $5.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, a stockholders’ deficit of $5.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $328.0 million. Although we recorded $1.3 million of net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, our operating history shows our inability to consistently generate profits from operations. We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least through March 31, 2010. However, if our future operations do not generate sufficient revenues and operating profits to cover expenses, and if we are required to raise additional financing, we cannot assure that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, when needed, if at all. If we are unable to obtain any necessary additional financing, we may be required to further reduce the scope of our planned sales and marketing and product development efforts, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Note 2. Software Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenues from two sources: license fees and support and services. Support and services includes hosting, software maintenance and support and professional services. Maintenance and support consists of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. Professional services primarily consist of consulting and implementation services and training. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, (“SOP 97-2”) as amended by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, (“SOP 98-9”) to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement for a license transaction we evaluate the transaction as if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the guidelines set forth in SOP 97-2, or for a hosting transaction, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, (“EITF 00-21”). For fixed fee arrangements, the services revenues are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SOP No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts, (“SOP 81-1”) when reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized.

When licenses are sold together with system implementation and consulting services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (i) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, (ii) the services are available from other vendors, (iii) the services qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services, have the ability to estimate cost of providing such services, and we have vendor specific objective evidence of pricing, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software.

We use signed software license and services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, hosting, maintenance and support. We use signed engagement letters to evidence an arrangement for professional services.

License Revenue

We recognize license revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, no significant obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of software maintenance and support, implementation and consulting services and in some cases hosting services.

Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files are delivered electronically. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We have standard payment terms included in our contracts. We assess collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.

We periodically sell to resellers. License sales to resellers as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 1% and 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. License sales to resellers as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 15% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Revenue from sales to resellers is generally recognized upon delivery to the reseller but depends on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s plans to sell the software, the reseller’s financial status, our past experience with the particular reseller and whether there are any return provisions, price protection or other allowances. Historically sales to resellers have not included any return provisions, price protections, or other allowances.

Professional Services Revenue

Included in support and services revenues are revenues derived from system implementation, consulting and training. For license transactions, the majority of our consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. We use vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for the services and maintenance to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. Substantially all of our contracts are on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, where the services are not essential to the functionality, we recognize revenue as services are performed. If the services are essential to functionality, then both the product license revenue and the service revenues are recognized under the percentage of completion method. For a fixed-fee contract we recognize revenue based upon the costs and efforts to complete the services in accordance with the percentage of completion method provided we are able to estimate such cost and efforts.

In August 2006, we entered into an OEM agreement with Cisco Systems. Under this agreement we supply unified communications technology for use in certain Cisco products. Pursuant to the agreement, there are certain minimum royalty payments due to us from Cisco based upon our successful delivery of certain milestones. The first major milestone was delivered and accepted in December 2006. The second major milestone was delivered and accepted in August 2007. This OEM agreement with Cisco includes multiple elements, including significant product customizations that are subject to Cisco’s acceptance. We have determined that this arrangement should be accounted for under the contract accounting method per paragraph 74 of SOP 97-2. In addition, we have determined that no loss will be incurred in the arrangement; however, initially the lowest probable level of profit could not be determined and therefore, no profit had been recognized on this contract prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Starting from the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we changed our accounting estimate and established a minimum margin of 25% that was used in calculating revenue for this agreement. In the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we made a further change to our accounting estimate and increased the minimum margin to 35%. In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the minimum margin was increased to 40% due to a further change to our accounting estimate. These changes were a result of increased royalties received from Cisco and an update to the estimate of costs remaining to complete the final milestones per the agreement. The change in accounting estimate resulted in a revenue increase of $644,000 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, and a decrease to our net loss by $0.02 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and an increase to our net income by $0.07 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Revenue from this arrangement as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 21% and 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is all related to professional services revenue. Revenue from this arrangement as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 13% and 2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We do not expect the impact of this change in accounting estimate to have a material impact on future periods.

For hosting, consulting and implementation services that do not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer hosting relationship.

Training revenue that meets the criteria to be accounted for separately is recognized when training is provided or, in the case of hosting, when the customer also has access to the hosting services.

Hosting Services Revenue

Included in support and services revenues are revenues derived from our hosted service offerings. We recognize hosting services revenue ratably over the period of the applicable agreement as services are provided. Hosting agreements typically have an initial term of one or two years and automatically renew unless either party cancels the agreement. The majority of the hosting services customers purchase a combination of our hosting service and professional services. In some cases the customer may also acquire a license for our software.

We evaluate whether each of the elements in these arrangements represents a separate unit of accounting, as defined by EITF 00-21, using all applicable facts and circumstances, including whether (i) we sell or could readily sell the element unaccompanied by the other elements, (ii) the element has stand-alone value to the customer, (iii) there is objective reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and (iv) there is a general right of return. We consider the applicability of EITF No. 00-03, Application of SOP 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware, (“EITF 00-03”) on a contract-by-contract basis. In hosted term-based agreements, where the customer does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software, the revenue is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the contract. Invoiced amounts are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. For professional services that we determine do not have stand-alone value to the customer, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the longer of the remaining contractual period or the remaining estimated life of the customer hosting relationship, once hosting has gone live. We currently estimate the life of the customer hosting relationship to be approximately 23 months, based on the average life of all hosting customer relationships.

We consider a software element covered by SOP 97-2 to exist when we determine that the customer has the contractual right to take possession of our software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty, and can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or enter into another arrangement with a third party to host the software. When a software element exists in a hosting services arrangement, we recognize the license, professional services and hosting services revenues pursuant to SOP 97-2. We have established vendor specific objective evidence for the hosting and support elements of perpetual license sales, based on the prices charged when sold separately and substantive renewal terms. Accordingly, revenue for the perpetual software license element is determined using the residual method and is recognized upon delivery. Revenue for the hosting and support elements is recognized ratably over the contractual time period. Professional services are recognized as described above under “Professional Services Revenue.” If evidence of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of an agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is recognized ratably over the period that these elements are delivered.

Maintenance and Support Revenue

Included in support and services revenues are revenues derived from maintenance and support. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer on an annual basis. Maintenance and support rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.

Note 3. Stock-Based Compensation

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123R”) the stock based compensation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $50,000 and $114,000, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $222,000 and $241,000, respectively.

Below is a summary of stock-based compensation included in the costs and expenses (unaudited, in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31,				Nine months ended March 31,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Cost of support and services	$	7	$	10	$	22	$	30
Research and development		13		17		38		45
Sales and marketing		7		17		22		59
General and administrative		23		70		140		107

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	50	$	114	$	222	$	241

We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock based compensation granted after the adoption of SFAS 123R. All shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our stock option plans are only issued out of an authorized reserve of shares of common stock which were previously registered on Form S-8. Options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, were 17,000 and 62,000, with a weighted-average fair value of $0.34 and $0.64, respectively. Options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 101,000 and 508,300, with a weighted-average fair value of $0.36 and $0.85, respectively, using the following assumptions:


	Three months ended March 31,				Nine months ended March 31,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Dividend yield	—		—		—		—
Expected volatility	80	%	92	%	80	%	92	%
Average risk-free interest rate	1.86	%	3.25	%	2.57	%	3.98	%
Expected life (in years)	6.25		6.25		6.25		6.25

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. We determined the appropriate measure of expected volatility by reviewing historic volatility in the share price of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Strips rate with maturities approximating the expected lives of the awards during the period, which approximate the rate in effect at the time of the grant.

In developing our estimate of expected life, we determined that our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected life. In addition, estimating life based on the expected terms of options granted by other, similar companies with similarly structured awards was considered but data was not readily available to arrive at reliable estimates. We therefore used the technique commonly referred to as the “simplified method.” In Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, (“SAB 107”) the SEC staff described a temporary “simplified method” to develop the estimate of the expected life of a “plain vanilla” employee stock option. Under this approach, the expected life would be presumed to be the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment, (“SAB 110”) an amendment of SAB 107. SAB 110 states that the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the continued use of the “simplified method”.

Based on our historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations, we have assumed an annualized 14% forfeiture rate for our options. Under the true-up provisions of SFAS 123R, we will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than we estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than what we estimated.

Total compensation cost of all options granted but not yet vested as of March 31, 2009 was $72,000, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.22 years. No options were exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Options exercised for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 0 and 11,139, respectively. There is no tax benefit related to these options exercised.

Note 4. Net Income / (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income / (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. In periods where net income is reported, the weighted–average number of shares is reduced by warrants and options in the money to calculate diluted net income / (loss) per common share.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (unaudited, in thousands, except per share data):


	Three months ended March 31,					Nine months ended March 31,
	2009			2008		2009		2008
Net income / (loss) applicable to common stockholders	$	(196	)	$	542	$	1,251	$	(2,290	)

Weighted-average common shares used in computing basic net income / (loss) per common share		22,213			15,333		20,079		15,330
Effect of dilutive potential common shares		—			181		1		—

Weighted-average common shares used in computing diluted net income / (loss) per common share		22,213			15,514		20,080		15,330

Basic net income / (loss) per common share	$	(0.01	)	$	0.04	$	0.06	$	(0.15	)
Diluted net income / (loss) per common share	$	(0.01	)	$	0.03	$	0.06	$	(0.15	)

Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 4,221,948 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share due to their anti-dilutive effect. Such securities could have a dilutive effect in future periods. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 4,221,287 shares of common stock for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share due to their exercise price exceeding the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 2,612,701 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share due to their exercise price exceeding the average market price of the common stock during the period. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 2,793,218 shares of common stock for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the period due to their anti-dilutive effect. Such securities could have a dilutive effect in future periods.

Note 5. Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

We report comprehensive income / (loss) and its components in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, (“SFAS 130”). Under SFAS 130, comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners. The comprehensive loss was $240,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a comprehensive income of $509,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Comprehensive income was $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a comprehensive loss of $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. “Accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss)” presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2009 consists solely of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 7. Related Party Notes Payable

On December 24, 2002, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement, as amended, with Ashutosh Roy, our Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Roy made loans to us evidenced by subordinated secured promissory notes and received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with each of such loans. The five year subordinated secured promissory note bears interest at an effective annual rate of 12% due and payable upon the term of such note. We have the option to prepay each note at any time subject to the prepayment penalties set forth in such note. On December 31, 2002, Mr. Roy loaned us $2.0 million under the agreement and received warrants that allow him to purchase up to 236,742 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $2.11 per share. These warrants expired in December 2005. In connection with this loan, we recorded $1.83 million in related party notes payable and $173,000 of discount on the note related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to interest expense over the five year life of the note. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 2%, and a dividend yield of 0%.

On October, 31, 2003, we entered into an amendment to the 2002 note and warrant purchase agreement with Mr. Roy, pursuant to which he loaned to us an additional $2.0 million and received additional warrants to purchase up to 128,766 shares at $3.88 per share. These warrants expired in October 2008. In connection with this additional loan we recorded $1.8 million in related party notes payable and $195,000 of discount on the notes related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to interest expense over the five year life of the note. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-

Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 2.25%, and a dividend yield of 0%. These notes were amended and restated on June 29, 2007 and on September 24, 2008.

On March 31, 2004, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with Mr. Roy, Oak Hill Capital Partners L.P., Oak Hill Capital Management Partners L.P., and FW Investors L.P. (the “lenders”) pursuant to which the lenders loaned to us $2.5 million evidenced by secured promissory notes and received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with such loan. The secured promissory notes have a term of five years and bear interest at an effective annual rate of 12% due and payable upon the maturity of such notes. The warrants allowed the lenders to purchase up to 312,500 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. These warrants expired in March 2007. We recorded $2.3 million in related party notes payable and $223,000 of discount on the notes related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to interest expense over the five year life of the notes. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 1.93%, and a dividend yield of 0%. These notes were amended and restated on September 24, 2008.

On June 29, 2007, we amended and restated the 2002 and 2003 notes with Mr. Roy and he loaned to us an additional $2.0 million and received additional warrants that allowed him to purchase up to 333,333 shares at $1.20 per share. In connection with this additional loan we recorded $1.8 million in related party notes payable and $187,000 discount on the notes related to the relative value of the warrants issued in the transaction that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, an expected stock price volatility of 75%, a risk free interest rate of 4.28%, and a dividend yield of 0%. In addition, the amendment extended the maturity date of the previous notes through March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock were vested and outstanding. These notes were amended and restated on September 24, 2008.

On September 24, 2008, we entered into a Conversion Agreement and Amendment to Subordinated Secured Promissory Notes, as amended, (the “Agreement”) with the lenders. Immediately prior to the Agreement, the total outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, under the prior notes equaled $13.8 million. Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, we and the lenders have (i) converted a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the prior notes equal to $6.5 million into shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to $0.95, or at a fair value of $3.4 million (the “Note Conversion”), and (ii) extended the maturity date of the remaining outstanding indebtedness of $7.3 million to March 31, 2012, as well as the period for which interest shall accrue (the “Note Extension”). In consideration for the Note Extension, the lenders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,525,515 shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to $0.95 and as a result, we recorded $272,000 of discount on the notes. In addition, we recorded the $3.1 million gain on the Note Conversion as a deemed contribution to capital since the lenders are related parties. The principal and interest due on the loans as of March 31, 2009 was $7.5 million, and warrants to purchase 1,525,515 shares of common stock issued were vested and outstanding.

Note 8. Bank Borrowings

On June 27, 2008, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Bridge Bank Credit Facility”) with Bridge Bank, N. A. (“Bridge Bank”). Our obligations under the Bridge Bank Credit Facility are secured by a lien on our assets including intellectual property. Holders of certain outstanding secured promissory notes have subordinated their security interests to those of the Bridge Bank pursuant to a Subordination Agreement dated as of June 24, 2008. The Bridge Bank Credit Facility provides for the advance of up to the lesser of $3.0 million under a revolving line of credit, or the sum of (i) 80% of certain qualified receivables, (ii) 75% of cash on deposit with Bridge Bank, (iii) the lesser of $1.5 million or 60% of eligible unbilled license and hosting contracts, less (iv) the amount of any outstanding obligations to Bridge Bank. The revolving credit line has a maturity date of June 24, 2010 and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum, provided that we maintain an average monthly cash balance of $1 million (the “Required Balance”), or the rate will be increased to a rate of prime plus 1%. As of March 31, 2009 the outstanding balance under the Bridge Bank Credit Facility was $3.0 million, and the interest rate was 4.25%. The Bridge Bank Credit Facility also provides up to $300,000 to pay off existing obligations to another bank (the “Bridge Bank Term Loan”) and is payable in thirty six equal monthly payments of principal and interest. As of March 31, 2009 the amount outstanding under the Bridge Bank Term Loan Line was $217,000 with an interest rate of 4.75%. In addition, the Bridge Bank Credit Facility allows for an advance of up to $300,000 to be used to finance equipment purchases (the “Bridge Bank Equipment Line”) which must be repaid in 30 equal monthly payments of principal and interest, commencing on the tenth day of the first month following the date the advance is made, and continuing for each succeeding month. Terms for both the Bridge Bank Term Loan and the Bridge Bank Equipment Line include: (i) interest that accrues from the date of each advance at a rate of prime plus 1% per annum, provided that we maintain the Required Balance, or the rate will be increased to a rate of prime plus 1.5% (ii) once repaid, amounts cannot be reborrowed and (iii) a maturity date of June 24, 2011. As of March 31, 2009 the balance under the Bridge Bank Equipment Line was $54,000, and the interest rate was 4.75%. There are financial covenants under this Bridge Bank Credit Facility that require us to meet certain revenue performance and net loss excluding non-cash charges requirements. If we fail to comply with our covenants under the Bridge Bank Credit Facility, Bridge Bank can declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable and cease advancing money or extending credit to us. As of March 31, 2009 we were compliant with these financial covenants. In connection with the credit facility Bridge Bank received warrants to

purchase 73,889 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.90 per share. The fair value of these warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, an expected stock price volatility of 80%, a risk free interest rate of 3.14%, and a dividend yield of 0%. The warrants contain a put option right that could be exercised by Bridge Bank upon the expiration date of June 24, 2011, or an exit event.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, (“SFAS 109”). Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount where realization is more likely than not.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 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 entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 on July 1, 2007 and the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial positions, results of operations or cash flows. Our tax provision consists of foreign and state income taxes.

Note 10. Commitments

We generally warrant that the program portion of our software will perform substantially in accordance with certain specifications for a period up to 180 days. Our liability for a breach of this warranty is either a return of the license fee or providing a fix, patch, work-around or replacement of the software.

We also provide standard warranties against and indemnification for the potential infringement of third party intellectual property rights to our customers relating to the use of our products, as well as indemnification agreements with certain officers and employees under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their duties to us. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, the maximum obligation is the amount permitted by law.

Historically, costs related to these warranties have not been significant, however we cannot guarantee that a warranty reserve will not become necessary in the future.

We have also agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as our director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request.

Note 11. New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume or Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and requires that companies provide interim and annual disclosures of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of FSP 157-4 on our consolidated financial statements but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, other than additional disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in financial statements for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of FSP 107-1 on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, although it will require additional disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 141-(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, (“FSP 141-(R)-1”). FSP 141-(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal

profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FAS 141-(R)-1 shall be effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of FAS 141-(R)-1 on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, although it will require additional disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”),. The FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact of FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008 FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets, (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 12. Litigation

Beginning on October 25, 2001, a number of securities class action complaints were filed against us, and certain of our then officers and directors and underwriters connected with our initial public offering of common stock in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (consolidated into In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig.). The complaints alleged generally that the prospectus under which such securities were sold contained false and misleading statements with respect to discounts and excess commissions received by the underwriters as well as allegations of “laddering” whereby underwriters required their customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket in exchange for an allocation of IPO shares. The complaints sought an unspecified amount in damages on behalf of persons who purchased the common stock between September 23, 1999 and December 6, 2000. Similar complaints were filed against 55 underwriters and more than 300 other companies and other individuals. The over 1,000 complaints were consolidated into a single action. We reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve the cases as to our liability and that of our officers and directors. The settlement involved no monetary payment or other consideration by us or our officers and directors and no admission of liability. On August 31, 2005, the court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and setting a public hearing on its fairness for April 24, 2006 (the postponement from January 2006 to April 2006 was because of difficulties in mailing the required notice to class members). On October 27, 2005, the court issued an order making some minor changes to the form of notice to be sent to class members. On January 17, 2006, the court issued an order modifying the preliminary settlement approval order to extend the time within which notice must be given to the class, which time had expired on January 15, 2006. The underwriter defendants filed further objections to the settlement on March 20, 2006 and asked that the April 24, 2006 final settlement approval hearing be postponed until after the Second Circuit Court rules on the underwriters’ appeal from the Court’s class certification order (which appeal is briefed and awaiting oral argument). On March 29, 2006, the Court denied the request, stating that it would address the underwriters’ points at the April 24, 2006 hearing. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a public hearing on the fairness of the proposed settlement. Meanwhile the consolidated case against the underwriters has proceeded. In October 2004, the district court certified a class. On December 5, 2006, however, the Second Circuit reversed, holding that a class could not be certified. In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig., 471 F.3d 24 (2d Cir. 2006). The Second Circuit’s holding, while directly affecting only the underwriters, raised some doubt as to whether the settlement class contemplated by the proposed issuer settlement will be approved in its present form. A petition for rehearing was filed January 5, 2007. The court of appeals denied a petition for rehearsing on April 6, 2007. On June 25, 2007, the district court entered a stipulated order terminating the proposed issuer settlement. Plaintiffs are proceeding with discovery as to underwriters and issuers, although principally with respect to focus or test cases that do not name the Company as a defendant. Defendants moved to dismiss the focus cases; on March 26, 2008, the court largely denied that motion. The court set a briefing schedule for a new class certification motion with respect to the focus cases; and that motion was then briefed. On October 10, 2008, however, the court signed an order allowing plaintiffs to withdraw that motion without prejudice to its being re-filed later. On April 2, 2009, all parties to In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig. filed a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement, as reflected in a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated April 1, 2009. Defendants, who deny any wrongdoing, have agreed to pay an aggregate of $586 million to settle all 309 cases that comprise In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig., subject to court approval. The Company and individuals associated with the Company are not liable for, and are not making, any portion of this settlement payment. The settlement, if approved by the court, will result in the dismissal of the case against the Company and the granting of releases that extend to all the affiliates, agents, attorneys, directors, employees and officers of the Company. The court has not yet set a date for a preliminary settlement approval hearing. We have not accrued any liability in connection with this matter as we do not expect the outcome of this litigation to have a material impact on our financial condition.

With the exception of this matter, we are not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding, except routine legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business and incidental to our business, none of which are expected to have a material adverse impact, taken individually or in the aggregate, upon our business, financial position or results of operations. However, even if these claims are not meritorious, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and it could divert management’s attention and impact other resources.

Note 13. Fair Value Measurement.

On July 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets or liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income when they occur. SFAS 157 applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis, for which application has been deferred for one year by the issuance of FASB Staff Position 157-2.

SFAS 157 includes a fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that is intended to increase the consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 – instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Level 2 – instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

Level 3 – instrument valuations are obtained without observable market value and require a high level of judgment to determine the fair value.

The adoption of this statement with respect to our financial assets and liabilities, did not impact our consolidated results of operations, but required additional disclosure. The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with SFAS 157 as of March 31, 2009 (unaudited, in thousands):


	Balance as of March 31, 2009		Quoted Prices Active Markets of Identical Assets (Level 1)
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	1,182	$	1,182

Liabilities	$	—	$	—

As of March 31, 2009 we did not have any Level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities.

On July 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. We did not elect to adopt the fair value option under SFAS 159.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are those that both (1) are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations and (2) require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often requiring estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Except for income taxes and the calculation of anticipated profit margin for Cisco OEM agreement, there have been no material changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The methodology applied to management’s estimate for income taxes has changed due to the implementation of a new accounting pronouncement FIN 48.

Revenues

Total revenue decreased 25% to $6.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $8.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there was one customer that accounted for 21% of total revenue and there was one customer that accounted for 19% of total revenue in the comparable year-ago quarter. Total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased 4% to $24.3 million, compared to $23.4 million in the same period last year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, there were two customers that accounted for 13% and 12% of total revenue respectively and there was one customer that accounted 11% of total revenue in the same period last year. The impact of the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and European currencies resulted in decreases of approximately $899,000 and $3.0 million in total revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year.

There is general unpredictability of the length of our current sales cycles, the timing of revenue recognition on more complex license transactions and seasonal buying patterns. This unpredictability has increased in recent months due to the global economic slowdown and the increased volatility of the value of the U.K. pound and Euro in relation to the U.S. dollar. Also, because we offer a hybrid delivery model, the mix of new hosting and license bookings in a quarter could also have an impact on our revenue in a particular quarter. We are continuing to see the mix of license and hosting bookings fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The value of new hosting transactions, as a percentage of combined new hosting and license bookings was 55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 42% for the comparable year-ago quarter. The value of new hosting transactions, as a percentage of combined new hosting and license bookings was 30% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 41% for the comparable year-ago period. For license transactions, the license revenue amount is generally recognized in the quarter which delivery and acceptance of our software takes place whereas, for hosting transactions, hosting revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the hosting contract, which is typically one to two years. As a result, our total revenue may increase or decrease in future quarters as a result of the timing and mix of license and hosting transactions.

License


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,											Nine Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2009			2008			Change			%		2009			2008			Change			%
Revenue:
License	$	463		$	2,234		$	(1,771	)	(79	)%	$	5,591		$	5,849		$	(258	)	(4	)%
Percentage of total revenue		7	%		25	%							23	%		25	%

License revenue decreased 79% to $463,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $2.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. License revenue in the quarter was negatively impacted by $40,000 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European currencies in which certain licenses were denominated. The license revenue for the quarter included three transactions totaling approximately $436,000 compared to a total of $1.5 million from two transactions recognized from deferred revenue in the comparable year-ago quarter. License revenue represented 7% and 25% of total revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

License revenue decreased 4% to $5.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $5.8 million in the same period last year. License revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was negatively impacted by $1.4 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European currencies in which certain licenses were denominated. License revenue represented 23% and 25% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Given the general unpredictability of the length of current sales cycles, the mix between hosting and license bookings, the uncertainty in the global economy and the recent volatility of the value of the U.K. pound and Euro in relation to the U.S. dollar, license revenue may increase or decrease in future periods.

Support and Services

Percentage of total revenue		93	%		75	%							77	%		75	%

Support and services revenue includes hosting, software maintenance and support and professional services. Software maintenance and support services consist of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. Professional services primarily consist of consulting and implementation services and training. Support and services revenue decreased 7% to $6.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $6.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Support and services revenue represented 93% and 75% of total revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Support and services revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased 7% to $18.7 million, compared to $17.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in professional services. Support and services revenue represented 77% and 75% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Hosting revenue decreased 3% to $1.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Without the $214,000 impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to the European currencies, hosting revenue would have increased by approximately $165,000 or approximately 10% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Hosting revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased 12% to $4.8 million, compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year. Without the $416,000 impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to the European currencies, hosting revenue would have increased by approximately $927,000 or approximately 22% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Excluding the impact from any further foreign currency fluctuations, we expect hosting revenue to remain relatively constant in future periods based upon current renewal rates for major existing hosted customers, and the global economic slowdown.

Maintenance and support revenue decreased 19% to $2.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $2.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Without the $388,000 impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to the European currencies, maintenance and support revenue would have decreased by approximately $106,000 or approximately 4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Maintenance and support revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 7% to $6.7 million, compared to $7.1 million in the same period last year. Without the $744,000 impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to the European currencies, maintenance and support revenue would have increased by approximately $253,000 or approximately 4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase for the nine months excluding the impact of currency fluctuations was primarily due to the new license sales in recent quarters. Excluding the impact from any future foreign currency fluctuations, we expect maintenance and support revenue to remain relatively constant in future periods based upon the current renewal rates for existing maintenance and support customers and the projected levels of new license sales.

Professional services revenue increased 3% to $2.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Without the $256,000 impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to the European currencies, professional services revenue would have increased by approximately $332,000 or approximately 14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Professional services revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased 18% to $7.3 million, from $6.1 million in the same period last year. Without the $503,000 impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to the European currencies, professional services revenue would have increased by approximately $1.6 million or approximately 26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in revenue from the OEM agreement we entered into with Cisco Systems in fiscal year 2006. The OEM agreement included multiple elements, including significant product customizations that were subject to Cisco’s acceptance. We have determined that this arrangement should be accounted for under the contract accounting method per paragraph 74 of SOP 97-2. In addition, we have determined that no loss will be incurred in the arrangement; however, initially the lowest probable level of profit could not be determined and therefore, no profit had been recognized on this contract prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2008. In the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we established a minimum margin of 25% that was used in calculating revenue for this agreement, resulting in a change in accounting estimate. The minimum margin increased to 35% and 40% in the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The change resulted from increased royalties received from Cisco and an update to the estimate of costs remaining to complete the final milestones per the agreement. The change in accounting estimate resulted in a revenue increase of $644,000 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, and a decrease to our net loss by $0.02 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and an increase to our net income by $0.07 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Revenue from this arrangement as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 21% and 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is all related to professional services revenue. Revenue from this arrangement as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 13% and 2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We do not expect the impact of this change in accounting estimate to have a material impact on future periods.

Cost of Revenues


	Three Months Ended March 31,											Nine Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2009			2008			Change			%		2009			2008			Change			%
Cost of Revenues	$	2,456		$	3,107		$	(651	)	(21	)%	$	7,914		$	8,742		$	(828	)	(9	)%
Percentage of total revenue		37	%		35	%							32	%		37	%

Total cost of revenue decreased 21% to $2.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $3.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Total cost of revenue represented 37% and 35% of total revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $403,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies, (ii) a decrease of $171,000 for the services performed by research and development personnel in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement, (iii) a decrease in personnel and personnel-related expenses of $34,000, (iv) a decrease in outside consulting expense of $22,000, and was partially offset by an increase in hosting related costs of $34,000. Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 63% compared to 65% in the comparable year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the decrease in the total revenue partially offset by the decrease in the cost of support and services.

Total cost of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 9% to $7.9 million, compared to $8.7 million in the same period last year. Total cost of revenue represented 32% and 37% of total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $807,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies, (ii) a decrease of $275,000 for the services performed by research and development personnel in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement, and (iii) a decrease of $57,000 in outside consulting services. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in personnel and personnel-related expenses of $253,000 from additional headcount and increased hosting related costs of approximately $85,000. Gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was 68% as compared to 63% for the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in our support and services revenue. In order to better understand the changes within our cost of revenues and resulting gross margins, we have provided the following discussion of the individual components of our cost of revenues.

Cost of License


	Three Months Ended March 31,											Nine Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2009			2008			Change			%		2009			2008			Change			%
Cost of License	$	16		$	20		$	(4	)	(20	)%	$	54		$	60		$	(6	)	(10	)%
Percentage of license revenue		3	%		1	%							1	%		1	%
Gross Margin		97	%		99	%							99	%		99	%

Cost of license is the cost for third-party software imbedded in our products. Total cost of license decreased slightly by $4,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Total cost of license as a percentage of total license revenues increased to 3% (a gross margin of 97%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 1% (a gross margin of 99%) for the comparable year-ago quarter.

Total cost of license for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased slightly by $6,000 as compared to the same period last year. Total cost of license remained unchanged as a percentage of total license revenues at 1% (a gross margin of 99%) for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period last year. We anticipate cost of license will increase slightly in future periods based upon our anticipated renewal of third-party royalty agreement with certain vendors.

Cost of Support and Services


	Three Months Ended March 31,											Nine Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2009			2008			Change			%		2009			2008			Change			%
Cost of support and services	$	2,440		$	3,087		$	(647	)	(21	)%	$	7,860		$	8,682		$	(822	)	(9	)%
Percentage of support and service revenue		40	%		47	%							42	%		49	%
Gross Margin		60	%		53	%							58	%		51	%

Cost of support and services includes personnel costs for our hosting services, consulting services and customer support. It also includes depreciation of capital equipment used in our hosted network, cost of support for the third-party software and lease costs paid to remote co-location centers. In addition, as the Cisco OEM agreement is being accounted for under the contract accounting method in accordance with paragraph 74 of SOP 97-2, we recorded costs associated with this agreement starting the second quarter in fiscal year 2006. The cost associated with the Cisco OEM agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $160,000 compared to $336,000 for the comparable year-ago quarter. The services delivered in connection with this agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were performed by research and development personnel totaling approximately $124,000 with the remainder of $37,000 by services personnel. The cost associated with this agreement for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $482,000 compared to $833,000 in the same period last year. The services delivered in connection with this agreement for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were performed by research and development personnel totaling approximately $358,000 with the remainder of $124,000 by services personnel.

Total cost of support and services decreased 21% to $2.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $3.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $403,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies, (ii) a decrease of $171,000 for the services performed by research and development personnel in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement, (iii) a decrease in personnel and personnel-related expenses of $34,000, (iv) a decrease in outside consulting expense of $22,000, and was partially offset by an increase in hosting related costs of $34,000.

Total cost of support and services for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 9% to $7.9 million, compared to $8.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $807,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies, (ii) a decrease of $275,000 for the services performed by research and development personnel in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement, and (iii) a decrease of $57,000 in outside consulting services. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in personnel and personnel-related expenses of $253,000 from additional headcount and increased hosting related costs of approximately $85,000.

Excluding the impact from any future foreign currency fluctuations and based upon current revenue expectations we anticipate cost of support and services to remain relatively constant in absolute dollars in future periods. While we continue to account for the Cisco OEM agreement under the contract accounting method in accordance with paragraph 74 of SOP 97-2, the gross margin is subject to fluctuate based upon the amount of Cisco-related services.

Research and Development


	Three Months Ended March 31,										Nine Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2009			2008			Change		%		2009			2008			Change		%

Percentage of total revenue		21	%		15	%						18	%		16	%

Research and development expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our engineering, product management and quality assurance personnel, fees for outside consultants and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead. Research and development costs increased 9% to $1.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $1.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to (i) a net increase of $201,000 in personnel related costs from the increased headcount in North America, which was partially offset by a reduction in the research and development group in India, and (ii) a decrease of $171,000 for the services performed by research and development personnel in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement charged to cost of support and services, which was partially offset by (i) a decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $137,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and (ii) decreased outside consulting services of $136,000. The increase is consistent with our continued commitment to invest in product innovation. Total research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 21% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to 15% in the comparable year-ago quarter.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased 17% to $4.3 million from $3.7 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to (i) a net increase of $727,000 in personnel related costs from the increased headcount in North America, which was partially offset by a reduction in the research and development group in India and (ii) a decrease of $275,000 for the services performed by research and development personnel in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement charged to cost of support, which was partially offset by (i) a decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $303,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and (ii) a decrease of $72,000 in outside consulting service. Total research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased to 18% from 16% as compared to the same period last year.

Excluding any fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in European and Indian currencies against the U.S. dollar, we anticipate research and development expense to remain relatively constant in future quarters based upon our current product development plans.

Percentage of total revenue		32	%		31	%							32	%		38	%

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our sales, marketing and business development personnel, lead generation activities, advertising, trade show and other promotional costs and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead. Sales and marketing expense decreased 24% to $2.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $2.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Total sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 32% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 31% in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 13% to $7.7 million, compared to $8.9 million for the same period last year. Total sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 32% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 38% in the same period last year.

Total sales expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased 25% to $1.7 million from $2.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to (i) the decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $278,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and (ii) the decrease of $239,000 in personnel related expenses related to the reduction in headcount, which was partially offset by increase of $38,000 in outside consulting expenses.

Total sales expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 12% to $6.4 million from $7.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to (i) the decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $641,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and (ii) the decrease of $278,000 in personnel related expenses, which was partially offset by an increase of $113,000 in outside consulting expenses.

Total marketing expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased 19% to $423,000 from $521,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to (i) the decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $76,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and (ii) the decrease of $33,000 in personnel related expenses, which was partially offset by $28,000 increase in marketing program expense.

Total marketing expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 18% to $1.4 million from $1.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease in the nine months was primarily due to the decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $158,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and the decrease of $116,000 in marketing program expense.

We anticipate sales and marketing expenses to remain relatively constant or increase slightly in absolute dollars in future periods based upon current revenue expectations excluding the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in European and Indian currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Percentage of total revenue		9	%		11	%							10	%		14	%

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our finance, human resources, administrative and legal services personnel, fees for outside professional services, provision for doubtful accounts and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead.

Total general and administrative expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased 35% to $616,000 from $942,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $142,000 in bad debt expense related to the improved effort in collections, (ii) a decrease of $90,000 in legal and other expenses, (iii) decreased personnel related expense of $64,000 and (iv) a decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $18,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 9% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 11% in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Total general and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 24% to $2.5 million from $3.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to (i) decreased legal expense of $445,000 compared to the comparable year-ago period when we recorded a legal expense of $433,000 primarily related to the patent litigation that was settled in September 2007, (ii) a decrease of $164,000 in auditing and outside consulting expenses, (iii) a decrease in our international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $98,000 from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies and (iv) a decrease of $56,000 in bad debt expense. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $30,000 in personnel related expenses. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 10% and 14% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We anticipate general and administrative expenses to remain relatively constant or increase slightly in absolute dollars in future periods based upon current revenue expectations excluding the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in European and Indian currencies against the U.S. dollar.

The fair value of stock options granted is recognized as an expense as the underlying stock options vest.

Operating income was $30,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to an operating income of $741,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. We recorded 1% operating margin in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 8% operating margin in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The change of operating income in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 primarily included a decrease in revenue by $2.2 million including the negative impact of approximately $899,000 from the fluctuation of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar and a decrease in total costs and operating expenses of $1.5 million. The decrease in total costs and operating expenses was a net of (i) a decrease of approximately $929,000 in international expenses due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies, (ii) a net decrease in personnel-related costs of $207,000 from a reduction in sales force partially offset by our investment in research and development (iii) a decrease of $164,000 in outside consulting expenses primarily related to the Cisco OEM agreement and third-party consulting services in Europe, (iv) a decrease of $142,000 in bad debt expense, and (v) decreased legal and other expenses of $90,000. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $41,000 in auditing expenses.

Operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $1.8 million, as compared to an operating loss of $1.2 million in the same period last year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 we recorded a positive 8% operating margin as compared to a negative operating margin of 5% in the same period last year. The change of operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 primarily included an increase in revenue by $894,000, net of the negative impact of $3.0 million from the fluctuation of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar and a decrease in total costs and operating expenses of $2.2 million. The decrease in total costs and operating expenses was a net of (i) a decrease of $2.0 million in international expenses due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European and Indian currencies, (ii) a decrease of $470,000 in legal and other expenses, (iii) decreased auditing expenses by $132,000, (iv) a reduction of $116,000 in marketing programs, (v) a net increase in personnel-related costs of $720,000 primarily due to our increased investment in research and development and our professional services team that was partially offset by a reduction in sales force, (vi) a decrease of $56,000 in bad debt expense, and (vii) increased outside consulting expense of $51,000 primarily related to the Cisco OEM agreement.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense decreased 24% to $318,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $421,000 in the comparable year-ago quarter. Interest expense decreased 7% to $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $1.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the related party notes payable balances which resulted from the conversion agreement and amendment to subordinated secured promissory notes entered into on September 24, 2008 as amended. (See Note 7—Related Party Notes Payable). We expect interest expense to increase in future periods.

Other Income, net

We recorded other income of $130,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to other income of $222,000 for the comparable year-ago quarter. Other income was $495,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to other income of $257,000 for the same period last year. Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to a $192,000 exchange rate gain on foreign accounts receivable and was partially offset by $47,000 of the loss on disposal of fixed assets. Other income for the nine months primarily consisted of $555,000 exchange rate gain on foreign accounts receivable that was partially offset by $60,000 of loss on disposal of fixed assets.

Income Tax Benefit and Expense

We recorded an income tax expense of $38,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and there was no income tax or income tax benefit recorded for the comparable year-ago quarter. The income tax benefit was $72,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to an income tax expense of $96,000 for the same period last year. The income tax expense for the quarter was primarily related to the income tax provision for our Indian subsidiary. The income tax benefit for the nine months primarily consisted of the reversal of prior year income tax provision for our Indian subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2009 our cash and cash equivalents were $5.5 million with a negative working capital of $75,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 million and a negative working capital of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, our current liabilities included $5.4 million of current deferred revenue compared to $4.9 million on June 30, 2008.

On September 24, 2008 we entered into a conversion agreement and amendment to subordinated secured promissory notes with Ashutosh Roy, eGain’s Chief Executive Officer, Oak Hill Capital Partners, L.P., Oak Hill Capital Management Partners, L.P. and FW Investors V, L.P., as amended. These lenders had previously loaned eGain an aggregate of $8.5 million and received promissory notes with maturity dates of March 31, 2009. Pursuant to the agreement, we converted approximately $6.5 million of the outstanding indebtedness of approximately $13.8 million of principal and interest at September 24, 2008 and extended maturity date of remaining debt to March 31, 2012. In addition, the lenders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,525,515 shares of our common stock in consideration for the note extension. As of March 31, 2009 the principal and interest due on the loans was $7.5 million and warrants to purchase 1,858,848 shares of common stock were vested and outstanding which includes warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock issued to Ashutosh Roy on June 29, 2007 in connection with the amendment and restatement of his prior notes. (See Note 7- Related Party Notes Payable.)

Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that existing capital resources will enable us to maintain current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months. However, if we do not experience the anticipated demand for our products, we will need to reduce costs, issue debt or equity securities or borrow money to meet our cash requirements. From time to time, however, we may consider opportunities for raising additional capital. We can make no assurances that such opportunities will be available to us on economic terms we consider favorable, if at all.

If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to achieve or sustain positive cash flows, maintain current operations, fund any potential expansion, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance products or services, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. Our expectations as to our future cash flows and our future cash balances are subject to a number of assumptions, including assumptions regarding anticipated increases in our revenue, the mix of new hosting and license business, our ability to retain existing customers and customer purchasing and payment patterns, many of which are beyond our control, and may be negatively affected by the global economic slowdown and the ability of our customers to obtain a credit line, or other financial limitations.

On June 27, 2008, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“the Bridge Bank Credit Facility”) with Bridge Bank, N. A. (“Bridge Bank”) (See Note 8—”Bank Borrowings”). The Bridge Bank Credit Facility provides for the advance of up to the lesser of $3.0 million under a revolving line of credit, or the sum of (i) 80% of certain qualified receivables, (ii) 75% of cash on deposit with Bridge Bank, (iii) the lesser of $1.5 million or 60% of eligible unbilled license and hosting contracts, less (iv) the amount of any outstanding obligations to Bridge Bank. In addition, the Bridge Bank Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $300,000 to pay off existing obligations to SVB and up to $300,000 to be used to finance equipment purchases. There are financial covenants under the Bridge Bank Credit Facility which require us to meet certain revenue performance and net loss excluding non-cash charges requirements. If we fail to comply with our covenants under the Bridge Bank Credit Facility, Bridge Bank can declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable and cease advancing money or extending credit to us. As of March 31, 2009 we were compliant with these financial covenants.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.8 million from the same period last year. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 consisted primarily of a net income of $1.3 million offset by depreciation of $561,000, accrued interest and amortization of discount on related party notes of $963,000, stock-based compensation of $222,000, provisions for doubtful accounts and sales returns of $67,000, loss on the disposal of fixed assets of $60,000, and the net increase in operating assets and operating liabilities.

The net change in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 primarily consisted of the increase in accounts receivable by $2.1 million primarily due to an increase in our business and a decrease of $543,000 in accounts payable. This was partially offset by the increase in deferred revenue of $988,000, an increase in accrued compensation of $225,000, and a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of $170,000. The increase in accrued compensation was primarily due to the change in the frequency of payment of bonuses to North American employees from three months to six months. The increase in deferred revenue was primarily due to (i) the increase in deferred maintenance and support payments received as a large number of our customers have annual maintenance and support renewals that come due in the quarter and (ii) the increase in deferred consulting revenue associated with our new hosting customer deployments.

To continue operating a cash-positive business depends on our ability to realize the benefits from the increased investment we made in the prior two fiscal years, including those made in connection with the Cisco OEM agreement, as well as by increasing the level of our revenues, and continuing to effectively manage working capital including collecting outstanding receivables within our standard payment terms. In addition, our ability to generate future cash flows from operations could be negatively impacted by a decrease in demand for our products, which are subject to rapid technological change or a reduction of capital expenditures by our customers as a result of a downturn in the global economy, among other factors.

Net cash used in investing activities was $264,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $388,000 for the same period last year. Cash used in investing activities for the quarter was due to the purchases of equipment primarily related to our hosting infrastructure driven by the increase in our hosted business and the replacement of old equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $20,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $126,000 for the same period last year. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was related to a net of $83,000 payment on existing bank borrowings and $63,000 proceeds from new bank borrowings. Net cash used in financing activities for the same period last year was a net of $8.9 million payment on existing bank borrowings and $8.8 million proceeds from new bank borrowings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2009, we had no off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K, other than operating leases and co-location agreement as disclosed above.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We develop products in the United States and India and sell these products internationally. Generally, sales are made in local currency. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Identifiable assets denominated in foreign currency at March 31, 2009 totaled approximately $6.6 million. We do not currently use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk. As such we are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, principally from the exchange rate between the U.S dollar and the Euro and the British pound and the Indian rupee. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the dollar strengthened significantly compared to the Euro, the British pound and the Indian rupee. The impact of the currency rate fluctuation in the nine months reduced our operating income by approximately $1.0 million. If the dollar continues to strengthen in future periods, we may experience a further adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal controls which occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Beginning on October 25, 2001, a number of securities class action complaints were filed against us, and certain of our then officers and directors and underwriters connected with our initial public offering of common stock in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (consolidated into In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig.). The complaints alleged generally that the prospectus under which such securities were sold contained false and misleading statements with respect to discounts and excess commissions received by the underwriters as well as allegations of “laddering” whereby underwriters required their customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket in exchange for an allocation of IPO shares. The complaints sought an unspecified amount in damages on behalf of persons who purchased the common stock between September 23, 1999 and December 6, 2000. Similar complaints were filed against 55 underwriters and more than 300 other companies and other individuals. The over 1,000 complaints were consolidated into a single action. We reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve the cases as to our liability and that of our officers and directors. The settlement involved no monetary payment or other consideration by us or our officers and directors and no admission of liability. On August 31, 2005, the court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and setting a public hearing on its fairness for April 24, 2006 (the postponement from January 2006 to April 2006 was because of difficulties in mailing the required notice to class members). On October 27, 2005, the court issued an order making some minor changes to the form of notice to be sent to class members. On January 17, 2006, the court issued an order modifying the preliminary settlement approval order to extend the time within which notice must be given to the class, which time had expired on January 15, 2006. The underwriter defendants filed further objections to the settlement on March 20, 2006 and asked that the April 24, 2006 final settlement approval hearing be postponed until after the Second Circuit rules on the underwriters’ appeal from the Court’s class certification order (which appeal is briefed and awaiting oral argument). On March 29, 2006, the Court denied the request, stating that it would address the underwriters’ points at the April 24, 2006 hearing. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a public hearing on the fairness of the proposed settlement. Meanwhile the consolidated case against the underwriters has proceeded. In October 2004, the district court certified a class. On December 5, 2006, however, the Second Circuit reversed, holding that a class could not be certified. In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig., 471 F.3d 24 (2d Cir. 2006). The Second Circuit’s holding, while directly affecting only the underwriters, raised some doubt as to whether the settlement class contemplated by the proposed issuer settlement will be approved in its present form. A petition for rehearing was filed January 5, 2007. The court of appeals denied a petition for rehearsing on April 6, 2007. On June 25, 2007, the district court entered a stipulated order terminating the proposed issuer settlement. Plaintiffs are proceeding with discovery as to underwriters and issuers, although principally with respect to focus or test cases that do not name the Company as a defendant. Defendants moved to dismiss the focus cases; on March 26, 2008, the court largely denied that motion. The court set a briefing schedule for a new class certification motion with respect to the focus cases; that motion was then briefed. On October 10, 2008, however, the court signed an order allowing plaintiffs to withdraw that motion without prejudice to its being re-filed later. On April 2, 2009, all parties to In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig. filed a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement, as reflected in a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated April 1, 2009. Defendants, who deny any wrongdoing, have agreed to pay an aggregate of $586 million to settle all 309 cases that comprise In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig., subject to court approval. The Company and individuals associated with the Company are not liable for, and are not making, any portion of this settlement payment. The settlement, if approved by the court, will result in the dismissal of the case against the Company and the granting of releases that extend to all the affiliates, agents, attorneys, directors, employees and officers of the Company. The court has not yet set a date for a preliminary settlement approval hearing. We have not accrued any liability in connection with this matter, as we do not expect the outcome of this litigation to have a material impact on our financial condition.

With the exception of this matter, we are not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding, except routine legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business and incidental to our business, none of which are expected to have a material adverse impact, as taken individually or in the aggregate, upon our business, financial position or results of operations. However, even if these claims are not meritorious, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and it could divert management’s attention and impact other resources.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability. Our business is influenced by a range of factors that are beyond our control and that we have no comparative advantage in forecasting. These include:

•

general economic and business conditions;

•

the overall demand for enterprise software and services; and

•

general political developments.

A general weakening of the global economy, or a curtailment in corporate spending, could delay and decrease customer purchases. In addition, the war on terrorism, the war in Iraq and the potential for other hostilities in various parts of the world, as well as natural disasters, continue to contribute to a climate of economic and political uncertainty that could adversely affect our revenue growth and results of operations. These factors generally have the strongest effect on our new business, and to a lesser extent, also affect our renewal rates for software maintenance and support.

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing eGain. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
