NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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, 2005, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2005 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, 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Software 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”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement, 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 Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 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 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts,” 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

-4-

qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services and we have vendor specific objective evidence pricing, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. For arrangements that do not meet the above criteria, both the product license revenues and the service revenues are recognized under the percentage of completion method. This has not been necessary in the last three years.

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 collectibility 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. Revenue from sales to resellers is recognized either upon delivery to the reseller or on a sell-through basis depending on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s plans to sell the software, if there are any return provisions, price protection or other allowances, the reseller’s financial status and our past experience with the particular reseller. Historically sales to resellers have not included any return provisions, price protections or other allowances.

Professional Services Revenue

Included in support services revenues are revenues derived from system implementation consulting and training. The majority of our consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. For hosting implementation services that do not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the remaining term of the hosting agreement. 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, we recognize revenue as services are performed. 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.

Training revenue is recognized when training is provided.

Hosting Services Revenue

Included in support 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 are typically for a period 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 the software.

Table of Contents

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 allocate the arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately. Assuming all other criteria are met (i.e., evidence of an arrangement exists, collectibility is probable, and fees are fixed or determinable), revenue is recognized as follows:

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. For implementation services that we determine do not have stand-alone value to the customer, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the remaining term of the hosting agreement.

Maintenance and Support Revenue

Included in support 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. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement with the customer.

Note 3. Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”) effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. We recognize the stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of our stock compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument. Prior to July 1, 2005, we followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for our stock compensation.

We have elected the modified prospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123R. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. We had no unearned stock compensation liability recorded on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2005. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption shall be recognized in net income in the periods after the date of adoption using the same valuation method (i.e. Black-Scholes) and assumptions determined under the original provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as disclosed in our previous filings. As a result of our adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized $75,000 and $151,000 in stock compensation expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005. The total compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005 was $345,000. The table below summarizes the effect of adoption of SFAS 123R.

-6-

Table of Contents

We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation granted after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted under our stock option plans for the period was $0.58 using the following assumptions:

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 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 “SEC Shortcut Approach.” In SAB 107 the SEC staff described a temporary “shortcut approach” to developing 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. The shortcut approach is not permitted for options granted, modified or settled after December 31, 2007.

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 we estimated.

SFAS 123R requires us to present pro forma information for the comparative period prior to the adoption as if we had accounted for all our employee stock options under the fair value method of the original SFAS 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation to the prior-year period (dollars in thousands, except per-share data).

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, there were approximately 2,000 options granted.

We account for stock-based compensation under SFAS 123R for the period after its adoption, and in accordance with APB 25, using the intrinsic value method (pro forma disclosure) for the period prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Total compensation cost of all options granted but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005 was $234,000, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.22 years. Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted FAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” and used the modified prospective method to value our share-based payments. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, stock-based compensation was accounted under FAS 123(R) while for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, stock-based compensation was accounted under APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”

Note 4. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in thousands, except per share data):

Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 2,326,554 and 918,685 shares of common stock at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented as a result of 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 the components in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 income was $194,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and the comprehensive income was $675,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Comprehensive loss was $129,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and comprehensive income was $47,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 consists solely of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 6. Segment Information

We operate in one segment, the development, license, implementation and support of our customer service infrastructure software solutions. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which

Note 7. Related Party Notes Payable

During fiscal year 2003, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with Ashutosh Roy, our Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Roy made loans to us evidenced by one or more 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 to us $2.0 million under the agreement and received warrants that allow him to purchase up to 236,742 shares at an exercise price equal to $2.11 per share 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. The principal and interest due on the loans as of December 31, 2005 was $5.2 million. As of December 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 365,509 shares of common stock were vested and outstanding.

On March 31, 2004, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with Ashutosh Roy, our Chief Executive Officer, 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 loans. 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. We have the option to prepay the notes at any time subject to the prepayment penalties set forth in such notes. The warrants allow the lenders to purchase up to 312,500 shares at an exercise price of $2.00. The principal and interest due on the loans as of December 31, 2005 was $2.9 million. As of December 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of common stock were vested and outstanding.

Note 8. Bank Borrowings

On October 29, 2004, we entered into a new loan and security agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) which replaced the existing accounts receivable purchase agreement. The Credit Facility provided for the advance of up to the lesser of $1.5 million or 80% of certain qualified receivables. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of prime plus 2.5% per annum, provided that if we maintain an adjusted quick ratio of greater than 2 : 1, then the rate shall be reduced to a rate of prime plus 1.75%. In addition, the Credit Facility carries a $750 per month collateral monitoring fee. We are in compliance with the financial covenants under this agreement that require us to meet certain rolling three-month operating losses during the term of the Credit Facility. On December 28, 2004, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility that revised the terms to allow for the advance of up to the lesser of $1.5 million or the sum of 80% of certain qualified receivables and 50% of our unrestricted cash on deposit with SVB less the total outstanding obligations to SVB and any outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2005, the interest rate was 9.75%, and the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $1.5 million. On March 29, 2005, we entered into a further amendment to the Credit Facility that revised the terms to allow for the advance of up to an additional $750,000 to be used to finance equipment purchases (the “Equipment Line”). Interest accrues from the date of each advance, under the Equipment Line, at a rate of prime plus 3% per annum. Each advance under the Equipment Line must be repaid in 24 equal monthly payments of principal and interest, commencing on the first day of the first month following the date the advance is made, and continuing on the first day of each succeeding month. As of December 31, 2005, the interest rate was 10.25% and the outstanding balance under the Equipment Line was approximately $236,000.

Note 9. Restructuring

Background

Beginning in fiscal 2001 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2004, economic conditions in North America and many of the other countries in which we operate either deteriorated or stabilized at depressed levels. This continuing weak economic environment, and in particular spending in technology, has had an adverse impact on sales of enterprise software. As a result, we saw a decline in our revenues from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2004. In response to this decline, we initiated a series of steps to streamline operations and better align operating costs and expenses with revenue trends. Specifically, we took the following actions:

-10-

Table of Contents

As part of separate settlement agreements with the two landlords, in the event we made a distribution of cash, stock or other consideration to holders of our Series A Preferred with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred, each of the two landlords would receive a payment equal to the lesser of (i) $1.0 million or (ii) the amount payable to a holder of shares of Series A Preferred with an aggregate stated value of $1.0 million. Based upon the final distribution to the preferred stock holders we reduced the outstanding liability we had accrued for these two settlements by approximately $958,000. In February 2005, a total payment of $242,000 was made for the finalized settlements and the over accrual of $46,000 was reversed.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, we recorded no restructuring expense and the restructuring accrual was paid in full.

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.

Note 11. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to converge its standards with those issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 12. Subsequent Event

On January 27, 2006 we entered into an extension of our Credit Facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The amendment extended the termination date to July 28, 2006 and the advance level under the Equipment Line was reduced to $124,000. All other terms and conditions remained the same as outlined in Note 8. Bank Borrowings.

Note 13. 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 February 12, 2004, we filed suit against Insight Enterprises, Inc., the acquirer of Comark, Inc., a value-added reseller of our software, claiming inter alia breach of contract and failure to pay in connection with a sale of our software to one customer in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County. The lawsuit seeks in excess of $600,000 in damages.

With the exception of these matters, 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.

Recent Developments

The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 2005. The 2005 Plan allows for the issuance of options to purchase up to 460,000 shares of our Common Stock. The 2005 Plan was approved by our stockholders on December 8, 2005. The primary purpose of the 2005 Plan is to promote the long-term success of eGain and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging our employees to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of employees with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking the interests of our employees directly to our stockholder’s interests through increased stock ownership.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation allowances and accrued liabilities, long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R is a new and very complex accounting standard, the application of which requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes assumptions such as stock price volatility and expected option lives, as well as expected option forfeiture rates to value equity-based compensation. SFAS 123R also requires that the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. This tax difference for unexercised options must also be recorded as a deferred tax item and recorded in additional paid in capital. We cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things when employees exercise stock options). Refer to Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation in our notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more discussion.

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”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement, 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 Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 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 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts,” 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 and we have vendor specific objective evidence of pricing, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. For arrangements that do not meet the above criteria, both the product license revenues and the service revenues are recognized under the percentage of completion method. This has not been necessary in the last three years.

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 collectibility 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. Revenue from sales to resellers is recognized either upon delivery to the reseller or on a sell-through basis depending on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s plans to sell the software, if there are any return provisions, price protection or other allowances, the reseller’s financial status and our past experience with the particular reseller. Historically sales to resellers have not included any return provisions, price protections or other allowances.

Professional Services Revenue

Included in support services revenues are revenues derived from system implementation consulting and training. The majority of our consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. For hosting implementation services that do not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the remaining term of the hosting agreement. 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, we recognize revenue as services are performed. 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.

Training revenue is recognized when training is provided.

Hosting Services Revenue

Included in support 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 are typically for a period 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 the 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 allocate the arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately. Assuming all other criteria are met (i.e., evidence of an arrangement exists, collectibility is probable, and fees are fixed or determinable), revenue is recognized as follows:

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. For implementation services that we determine do not have stand-alone value to the customer, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the remaining term of the hosting agreement.

Maintenance and Support Revenue

Included in support 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. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.

Valuation of Goodwill

We review goodwill annually for impairment (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). We performed an annual goodwill impairment review at June 30 every year and we found no impairment. Additionally, we did not identify any indicators which made us believe goodwill was potentially impaired during the quarter ended December 31, 2005.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential uncollectible trade receivables. We review our trade receivables by aging category to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. We exercise judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as we evaluate historical bad debt trends, general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and changes in customer financial conditions. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates, material differences may result in additional reserves for trade receivables, which would be reflected by charges in general and administrative expenses for any period presented.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the results of operations for the periods presented expressed as a percentage of total revenue:

Revenues

Total revenue increased 16% to $6.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 from $5.2 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 13% to $11.2 million, compared to $9.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in license and professional services revenue. During the three months ended December 31, 2005, there was one customer that accounted for 19% of total revenue, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in the comparable year-ago quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.

Based upon current sales activities we anticipate total revenue to increase over the next fiscal year. We are seeing increased interest from medium to larger-sized companies in our customer interaction solutions. There is however general unpredictability of the length of our current sales cycles and seasonal buying patterns. In addition, sales to these larger companies are generally more complex and time consuming, with new customers often choosing to make smaller initial purchases to be followed up with additional purchases if product meets with their business requirements. Also, because we offer a hybrid delivery model the mix of new hosting and license business in a quarter could also have an impact on our revenue in a particular quarter. For license transactions the license revenue amount is generally recognized in the quarter 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 transactions.

License

License revenue increased 45% to $2.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 from $1.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004. License revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 28% to $3.4 million, compared to $2.7 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to one license transaction in the quarter that accounted for approximately 16% of total revenue for the quarter. This transaction was a follow on sale to an existing customer purchasing additional licenses for previously purchased products. License revenue represented 33% and 27% of total revenue for the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. License revenue represented 30% and 27% of total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Given the general unpredictability of the length of current sales cycles, license revenue may increase or decrease in future quarters as a result of the timing of license transactions being completed, but we anticipate license revenues to increase over the future quarters.
